Demigods and Family (Mianite)

XXIV - Josh

Chapter 24 - The Desire

"JOSH!" Tony screamed with the top of his lungs, before he was interrupted by another set of screams. But the burning of the crackling fire was the loudest, Tony let out another scream and I dash to get to him before I reached him, I was welcomed to a wooden ceiling. I let out a small gasped from being ripped apart from the ritual. My voice sounded hollow and weak.

My chest started to ache a lot, kind of felt like I've swallowed shreds of glass. I tried to get up, but immediately Declan commanded me to lie back down. When I was on my back again, Declan forced a sweet substance into my mouth. It was a type liquid chocolate, I don't know what type. My brain was too dazed to even process what was going on. My vision was fuzzy with blurs and my mind has million of stories of what just happened. But there was a lot of blanks in my mind, like playing fill the blank.

A needle drive into the veins of the inside forearms, and Declan's tight grip. He gripped my arm into stillness and I lay there limpless. I couldn't really move anyways, so unmoving I laid there. As seconds seemed like days, I laid there patiently and the time moved slowly. Champ slowly is waken at some point as I lay here, watching Declan collect samples of my blood.

I have no clue why the blood samples, but he's taking blood from me. My head began to hurt, and it started to feel like air was leaving my head. Head feeling light.

After some time, Declan started to stop the blood sampling. I give him a weird look, wondering why he was even sampling my blood in the first place. Declan must've saw my emotion or read my mind.

"In the ritual, there was a small mistake that must've happened. Jordan's essence went straight for your blood, as well as Champ's. So there's essences in your blood, so I would be needing the essence blood in order to use it for the rest of the ritual."

"Why--" My voice crackled and was rough, I stopped myself before I hurt my throat even more. I given up, and decided to continue on my question or suggestion. "Why do you need essence blood for the rest of the ritual? You never need it for anyone else." I turned my head toward Declan's direction, where his back is toward me and he was sampling Champ's. Champ's gaze was bugged out and drunken. "Unless you know what exactly Jordan is."

"Oh course I know Jordan's parents. His father is technically isn't a god, and his mother-- a witch! Just like Sonja, that poor being. She had mental breakdown last night, she skipped lunch and dinner because of it. Of course, I don't know which Witch Jordan's mother is. But a pretty powerful one. With Jordan's quintessence, I'll be able to even protect the lands for 5 lifetimes and even be able to summon Mianite and Dianite with enough for a sacrificial ritual for all of the gods."

"If his father isn't Dianite nor Mianite, then who is his father? Is it one of the other brothers? The Wizards?"

"No Magi blood in him, Magi blood are usually chunkier and thick, he has more of a metallic red, as it would be a God's and Titan's and it's thinning and flowing as it would be a Witch's. His eyes are a blueish colour, no purple. So there's a hint that he hasn't release any of his magic by accident."

"Wasn't there incident with Jordan turning a stick in a bow?"

"His first moments? Defense stuff, whatever. It's a signal of course. He's a reincarnation of Spark, where his fate is for Irene. It was Irene of course, she unconsciously felt that the reincarnation of Spark was feeling threatened and scared, so she turned the stick in a bow for defense. Of course, when we grabbed for the bow. The bow turned into ashes, smelling like melted rubber."

"I thought Irene was just a made-up goddess for the Witches to follow. When there's order and chaos, there always have to be a balance somewhere. And that the Witches created Irene for a sake of a Female Goddess."
