Mytho-Academy Next Generation

S2 - Chapter 1: One Week Later

Lucas

We spent about a week with the Amazons, recovering from our battle with them. Honestly, the only person who needed more time to recover was Mia, who had gotten a hole in her stomach.

During the time, I decided to go to a makeshift shooting range every day to sharpen my skills. I fired off a few bullets, hitting bullseyes each time. Not a single bullet missed.

Lily: "Now do it with your eyes closed"

I looked up at Lily, who was hovering over me upside down, as usual. She had completely recovered due to Idril's healing sessions, however she didn't seem the same after what was told to us. She was secluded before it, but it was rare to even hear her talk anymore.

Lucas: "If I was shooting live targets, I could. I can sense souls, even with my eyes closed"

I fired off a few more bullets until she spoke.

Lily: "Do you see one in me?"

I turned to her.

Lucas: "Of course I do"

Lily: "Are you certain?"

Lucas: "Yeah, why?"

Lily: "No reason"

She turned away.

Lily: "I... need to go lay down. I'll see you later"

She flew out of the room, which was definitely out of character. She always stayed by my side, even when it wasn't convenient, like in the shower.

I wiped up some sweat from my forehead and drank from my water bottle. As I left the room, I saw a few Amazons scowling at me. Normally, I would think it was because I was male. But then I heard them whisper under their breath.

Amazon: "Monster"

It took everything I had not to blow her brains out right there.

I walked to Sky's room, who I hadn't really talked to since we had gotten here. I knocked on the door and she opened it, however she was all sweaty.

Lucas: "You got a sec?"

Sky: "Uhhhh... yeah, give me a sec!"

She closed the door and I heard Idril giggling from inside before a few noises I wish I could forget. Then, Sky came out and closed the door behind her.

Sky: "What's up, emo boy?"

Lucas: "We need to talk"

Sky's ears perked up.

Sky: "Is it about it?"

I nodded.

Sky: "Alright, let's go outside"

The two of us walked through the compound, with Amazons eying up Sky. She wasn't helping by winking and flirting back. I had to grab her hood to keep her walking forward.

When we finally got outside of the compound, we found ourselves coming out of a steel door built into the side of a hill in the Japanese country side.

Sky: "So what do you want to know?"

Lucas: "What exactly is your relationship to The Destroyer?"

Sky: "Like I said before, me and a group of my old friends had prevented its revival back in medieval times. So it holds a grudge"

Lucas: "That's not it. That thing seems to seriously hate you, more than the rest of us"

Sky: "Because I'm a serious threat"
