Allora Stettin : The Orphan Demigod (COMPLETED)

Chapter #24 Fighting Khione

One day, Allora, Hannah and Aria were together in their room, when Aria suddenly started shivering. She thought to her self. What is going on? I shouldn't be cold. I never get cold. Unless...

Allora said; "Aria, are you okay. you're shivering. We should get you warm."  Aria answered and said; "Leon is not here.  The only reason I am cold is if he is in trouble.  Can you try to figure out where he is?  Wait, I think my mother might have something to do with this."

"I will try to locate him. I am going to go into his dream and see if I can fnd him."  So, Allora fell asleep, and had a very disturbing dream.

Allora's POV

I was walking through a building, and felt cold.  I could hear people talking, but couldn't figure out where it was coming from.  When I got closer, I could hear better what was being said  I heard a woman's voice, which I recongnized as Khione, Aria's mother.

She said; "Well, look what we have here.  The boy who loves my daughter.  Soon we will be reunited and will take down those who banished me.  In order for that to happen, I have to break the bond between you and my dear daughter.  You wll have to die."

Then, she stabbed Leon with an icicle and walked away and locked the door.  I could tell where he was being held.  I had been to the place before.  Leon started screaming and so did I. 

Out of Dream

"No,no, no!" The others must have sensed that something was wrong, because I felt something cold touch me and then I woke up. Aria said "Allora, what happened?" I said "I know where he is, and you are not going to like it. "

I then called camp Half-Blood and asked Chiron to send me a couple of pegasus. When they arrived,  we climbed on their backs and took off . Aria told me that she's scared of flying.  I told her that we won't be in the sky very long.

We were headed to Khione's palace in the north.  I really hoped that this would be short, because I hate confronting Aria's mom.  She is scary.

When we arrived, I had a very bad feeling.  I could tell that Aria was getting weaker.  We started walking forward, when I told the others to watch their steps, there were traps in the floor.

As we got closer to where Leon was being held, I suddenly came face to face with Khione.  I drew my sword and she laughed and said; "Well, if it isn't my daughter's friends.  I knew you would come.  You can't defeat me."

I was then hit with a blast of ice that froze my hand to my side. My sword fell to the floor and I couldn't move.  I watched as Khione went over to her daughter who had fallen down.

She said; "My dear daughter, it is nice to see you again.  You really never learn do you?  I want you to join me, but I have to break the bond between you and this pathetic boy.  Even now, he is dying, and so are you.  After the boy dies, you will be better and can help me."

By then, I was really mad. I said; "You will not kill them.  They are my friends, and Aria is dying."  Right after I said that, I was thrown against the wall, and was frozen against the wall.

I remebered something that my instructor taught me.  So, I closed my eyes, and imagined having a summer breeze blowing through the palace.  the next thing I knew, is that I am startng to unthaw. 

Suddenly, a warm breeze started blowing through the palace and it hit Khione right in the back.  She turned to me and said; "What is this? Ahhh!"  I had a mischievious smile on my face.  She was just about to freeze me again, when another blast of warm wind hit her again. 

A few minutes later, I am standing in frnt of her and I am glowing!  She looked at me and said; "You are Athena! How is this possible! You can't do this to me."  I stood there with my sword aimed at her ready to strike, when Aria stood up and said; "Allora wait, give me your sword."  So I gave her my sword and she stabbed Khione in the heart and she turned into a lump of ice and then melted.

Then, Aria and I freed Leon and got them all back on the pegasus and took our journey back to our rooms.  When we landed, Aria didn't want to get off, she wanted to stay on the wall where we landed.  I was able to convince her that we needed to get her and Leon back in their rooms, so that they could heal each other.
