With You Forever

In Your Head

Ashers pov
This chapter is dedicated to R5Rauraroxx because I didn't update this book for like 5 months, and she encouraged me that I could keep writing this. She saved this book, so this chapter is for her.

I sighed and picked up my duel swords. Blocking out all sound, I faced my opponent, a robot. The robot, Tilly, was created by Hephestus himself, it fought according to whatever level and skill you had. It knew every move, never tired, and magically repaired itself.
Tilly lined up across from me, picking up her sword. She looked like a human. She was bald, and was completely silver. She didn't have any facial features, and was average height. With no eyes, ears, mouth, or nose, she kinda freaked me out. It was like...just plain nightmare come to life to kill you 101. Scary.
I got into a fighting position, Tilly waiting for me to strike first as we circled each other. She moved like a normal person, not with choppy motions-unfortunately. I didn't make any movement towards her. Tilly darted to my right, and I moved one sword to block her, while the other stayed protectively in front of me.
Our swords clashed with a high ping, before we backed away, circling again.
Use magic, embrace it. A voice said inside my head.
You can defeat her. Use magic, embrace your curse. I shook my head to clear my mind.
The voice, I knew was Hera. I never told anyone she spoke to me, which is why I didn't tell the truth about why we started the gang.
The next half hour was a deadly dance of twisting, stabbing, ducking, and over all, I was very sweaty. So, I said was going to take a shower, and excused myself to go to my cabin, my dads old cabin.
I went into my cabin and walked around, making sure the coast was clear, before locking all of the doors, and closing all of the blinds.
I went over to the fountain and grabbed a drachma from the bowl I kept filled with the magic money, tossing it into the colorful spray.
"Oh Iris, great goddess of the rainbow, accept my offering, show me Hera, goddess of magic."
A hazy image of the goddess appeared, and I cleared my throat. Hera paused her yoga and waved to me.
"Oh Asher dear! So glad you could call. I'm disappointed that your little gang was discovered. That was very entertaining, watching you fight, I put a lot of effort into making you the leader of that gang, you know. Tilly does make a good match though doesn't she? You could beat her. You could destroy Hephestus' creations. You could rule them all. You only have to embrace you magic, your curse. All I require is two things. I ask for is Zues' goblet, and to be in charge when you take over Olympus. You could be the champion, I could be queen. We would be unstoppable. So, do you accept my deal?" She asked me.
"No. I refuse your deal just like I do every other other time we talk. I'm only here to ask you to get out of my head." I answered.
You refuse me boy! You don't like me in your half blood head? You haven't witnessed me in your head yet! I wasn't even in your head when I forced you to make that gang!
"Please stop!" I cried, falling to my knees, my hands pressed up against my temples.
Foolish boy! No one refuses me!
"Aghh!" I screamed at the impossible loud screaming in my head.
There is a prophecy that states a child of a half blood will fight for me, against Olympus! This is my chance! I can rule the world, even the gods will bow before me!
I collapsed in a heap on the floor, not even able to cry out. Images flashed through my mind. Fire and destruction, death and war. People bowing before a shadowy mass sitting in an over sized throne.
And you, you are the key to it all! Unless you have a miracle up your sleeve, you can't stop what will come!
Images of children, dead on the street, dogs eating their carcasses.
Yes! I will rule the world. It will bow before me in fear!
Images of the gods, on their knees before Hera, robed in black, shadows swirling around her.
Kronos failed, the giants failed, Gaea failed, but I will not, I will bring a new age, the dawn of magic, of power, bringing with it the real meaning of In Your Head!
I saw pictures of mindless servants attending to Heras every whim. Of children getting beat. Of demigods burned at the stake.
Soon, soon I will be the one to sit on the throne! And then, you will know what it truly means to serve me boy. What it means to have me in your head.
I cried out one last time, before the world went black.

"I know, I know. Yes. I can't be sure. We're looking into it. Calm down, he's all right. I'm trying to contact them. Goodbye." I heard Chiron say.
I groaned and sat up.
"Your awake." He said, handing me a cup of water.
"I guess I am." I answered, accepting the drink, letting the col liquid slide down my throat.
"Rachel told us what happened. I'm not sure how she knew what happened, but I saw a dark shadow cover the camp. Liam went looking for you while everyone came here trying to find our what happened. He found you unconscious. I felt a shift in Olympus. Hera is stirring, her magic is becoming stronger. We think it's related to a prophecy."
"I know." I said.
"I'm trying to contact the gods, but I can't get through."
"I can help with that, Holy Hephestus, Tilly is a piece of junk! Lightning sucks, it so wimpy! What the Hades, dead people in an army is useless! Haiku's stink, there horrible! Artemis' hunters are just a bunch of dumb girls! Hermes mail delivery system is horrible! Why does Poseidon have a trident? It's like a pitchfork you would scoop pig poop with! Aphrodite is the ugliest thing ever! Athena is so stupid, I bet she doesn't even know how to read! I doubt Ares even knows how to lift a sword! Olympus sucks!" I yelled.
All of the gods suddenly appeared, some in war gear, others, like Poseidon in pajamas, Aphrodite had curlers in her hair, and overall, I didn't know wether to hide or laugh.
"Wow." Chiron said.
"Yup. Now, I think we have a lot of prophecy reading, Hera killing, and absolute kick boss crap to do right?"
"First, why did you dare insult us?" Zues asked, raising his lightning bolt higher, giving me a nice view of his hairy armpits.
"Hey, I had to get your attention somehow. Your fault you didn't answer you phones." I defended.
"My phone didn't ring." Athena said, and all the gods turned to Hermes.
"What?" He asked a little to innocently.
"I'll deal with you later, for now, what is it Chiron, what happened?"
"Well..."

«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»okay, so I know I didn't update in like 5 months, but like I said, R5Rauraroxx encouraged me to keep writing, so here I am with another chapter. I know it's kinda short, and maybe confusing, but at least it's there. This chapter is dedicated to none other than the amazing R5Rauraroxx
