APOLLO'S POV.
We hover beside Libbys' balcony, but she doesn't seem to give up the dragonette.
It looks up at her, and I know that look. I shake my head, laughing quietly.
I fly away, to my room. My Shadows leap out when I get onto solid ground. They take off, ripping around and playing.
I laugh and walk to a strange note on my bed.
A note that reads :
Dearest Apollo,
Your mother, Echo and I wish to see you before be leave. We are being deployed to go to war, and were informed you may not come at this point.
I run out the doors, Pandora and Shadows following me like flames after the wind.
People peer out of their dorms as we rush by.
One whispers, "The cursed one."
I laugh, and hit the stairs.
I take them three at a time, going around the tower to the bottom floor.
I notice my parents and Echo sitting in chairs in the lobby, and I jog over.
My Shadows are in a semi-circle behind me, and Pandora has her head over my shoulder.
My family hugs me, and a soldier walks over.
It glares at me, and rushes them out the door.
A feeling of anguish rushes over me, and I sigh.
I go to the training feild, and try to find another Hidden Shadow.
I walk to the north corner, and lean against the chainlink fence.
The maple tree above my head shades me as I dive into my own mind, a parrell universe.
At first, it's all dark. Then, a gentle glow reveals an untouched forest.
I walk along, then get a feeling that I should stop.
I sit down. I hear a gentle rustle, and a bird lands a ways off.
Whooo. Whooo. Whooo.
Screetch.
An Barn Owl and an Eagle land in front of me.
A seering pain hits my heart, and they bond to me.
They flash into tattoos, and the owl tells me there's one more for me to find now. Right now.
I follow the owls' directions, and come upon a pitiful sight. An injured, unconcious dog lays at my feet.
The owl sends a wave of magic, turning it into a Ocelot.
A pain burns as it bonds to me, and it warps me back to my world.
I shake my head, clearing it.
My Shadows demand out, so I set all six out.
The twig man rushes over, and cries, "Are these your Shadows? Everyone says you have located quite a few of yours!"
I nod, "Yes, these are my Shadows. Why?"
The feild is frozen, except for the six animals playing together.
