A Fire Burns Within Me (completed)

Hope

The final part of the ceremony was thankfully short since Bock had way less titles than me. The ending consisted of the guy presenting Bock and I with the added title. Protector of Bock, son of Thophes for me and Protected by Perseus Jackson, son of Poseidon and Hestia, etc. for Bock.

Post the ceremony, I was eating at the feast provided for the celebration in different clothing so I could eat at the feast with out being afraid of getting any food on my ceremonial clothes. What can I say? I like to eat and when I eat, I wolf it down with out a care about making a mess. Let's just say that that was a glorious day for me and my stomach and I was ready to take on the world.

Little did I know that I was literally going to have to do just that on Rocthag.

Scratch that last note guys, this chapter is real chapter. Not a filler.

Just a little something to give you feels :)

Enjoy.

I panted as I hid in my fox hole, nervously waiting for my chasers to run past. My heart was beating fast and I was dripping sweat. Despite it being night time, it was hot, though that may be because of all my running around.

As quietly as I could, I turned to look behind me, making sure I was in the right fox hole. The small tunnel went on deeper in ground, way off, I saw that the walls started to glow a weird silver.

Definitely the right one.

But until my chasers run past, I can't go deeper. That way, if they catch me, I do not lead them to head quarters.

"Faster, Oliver," a growl came from the left and a little more up than my level, "he's just up ahead!"

"Wait!" A different voice said, "I smell something. He's close."

I did all in my power to refrain from holding my breath. I knew that once I could not hold it anymore that I would breathe it out and it would make noise and then they would know where I was.

The group looking for me came to a skidding stop. I heard some sniffing with my recently enhanced hearing and I did my best to hold still. "Nah, it's faint," the first voice said, "He's moved on."

I resisted the urge to breath a sigh of relief.

"Let's go," a third, gruff voice said.

There was a sudden pounding of feet as the group took off to the right.

I waited a full ten minutes after they left before turning completely around and crawling down the tunnel until I reached the glowing walls. By then the floor dropped suddenly and I could stand.

The planet I am on right now is way different from my last planet. Before I get to the inhabitants- who are nothing but surprising- I'll tell you of the climate. Where as Rocthag was a complete rock planet that some how got breathable air from geysers in the ground, the Planet of the Moon was a forest planet. A large portion of it is land and the water you do come across is deep enough to house a whale comfortably, even the rivers.
