Gods School Book One: Into the Forest

Home

A few hours after takeoff, Elisha saw a building in the distance. It was Mythical School!!! She couldn't believe it. Home at last. After so long. It's strange how Jessie wasn't looking- Oh!

"What is it?"

"I just realized we were doing survival in the wilderness completely wrong!"

"How so?"

"We're supposed to stay in one place, build an S.O.S. symbol of some sort and wait for rescue."

"Well. We messed up. Like messed up baaaddd."

"At least we're alive."

"Debatable."

Elisha girls laughed at how serious Royoko sounded.

"Well, this for sure isn't Esylum."

"No, it is not."

This time, they both laughed.

Once they landed in the courtyard, A group of students caught sight of them and called for the teachers. A group of kids dressed in adventuring gear turned back. Maybe they were sending out search parties for them. Jessie ran up and hugged them.

"Where have you guys been!?! And where is Hylla!?!"

Royoko answered since Elisha was having trouble breathing. "Lost, Captured."

Everyone in earshot gasped. Zane muscled his way to the front. "Who captured her!?!"

"The Titans and giants. They are here, planning to 'save the world' from us because we allow global warming."

"That doesn't even make sense!" said Penelope. "What about humans!?!"

"They're going to exterminate them."

Zia, daughter of Zeus, let out a low whistle. "Well damn. We're in soooo much trouble if we don't stop them."

"Yeah," said Mia. "We are in trouble."

"Tell me about it."

"Where's Da?" asked Amy, daughter of Apollo.

"As far as we know, captured."

"And Ma?" asked Di, daughter of Diana.

"Same condition, just as Artemis."

"Oh."

"Don't worry. We'll get them back."

"Or will we!?!" said Bessie, daughter of Bacchus.

"Don't be so dramatic. We have to get her back."

"Maybe later. I have a map. Be sure to stop by the library. And don't forget the tabby camp." said Elisha

Bella gasped in delight. "You met some of the tabby clan!?"

"They helped us."

"Mom's gonna be sooo excited!"

"I have a map so she can deliver a message."

Bella squealed and ran out of the courtyard, yelling for her mom.

"And Cia," Elisha turned to the daughter of Clotho. "We saw your sister and cousins."

Cia gasped. "Really?"

"Yup."

The girl ran to write a letter to them.

They continued to talk to the others.

"And Zane," she sniffed slightly. "Hylla is still strong. We can go get her."

"Or can you?" said a voice. By this time, Cia and Bella had decided to come back to continue hearing the story and had just entered earshot.

They turned and saw an image of Hylla sitting on a throne with the giants and titans around her. O inferno non! Lacy warned me but I just couldn't believe it.

"Hylla," said Penelope. "You have courage showing your face here. After all, by the looks of it, you have joined the wrong side."

Hylla sneered. "As if. Your pathetic school shall fall, and you along with it. Expect us within a year. No refunds allowed. Please renew your insurance policy. Please also prepare transportation and other living quarters. Good buh-eye." The image vanished.

"Ugh," said Cia. "I'm gonna hurl if I have to read about that in my visit."

"Visit?"

"Yeah. I'm going to see Chloe, Addie, and Lacy."

"Give this to Lacy." Elisha passed Cia a small note thanking her and telling her to be careful. "And you don't have to read the book."

"You don't know Lacy as well as I do. She will be super proud and force us to read it."

"By the way. Ask Chloe if she's sure yet. Have her bring me the answer or write it down. Don't care."

"Got it. Want me to bring you a copy of your book?"

"Sure!"

As Cia left. The others went to their Homes. Jessie told them everything. How when they never showed up at the town, the school had sent out older kids to find them. Graduatees had come by to help. Losing a student was big. And three!?! No one wanted to risk it. Then, Royoko and Elisha told Jessie about their time.

All of their friends came by and they signed in order to keep it private. They had a long chat. Silently. They were wary of evesdroppers and the like. Just like every other person ever, so they signed. It was hard to take in everything at once. Multiple times they had to sign for them to slow down.
