The Goddess of War

Part title

Simon remained silent as he glanced around the room. So many questions racing through his mind but he was unwilling to voice any. "So why hasn't Athena and Miranda awaken yet?" he finally asked. As he glanced at his friends sleeping in the nearby corner.

"They're trapped in a trance my magic is like a maze. My spell wore off days ago they just need time to find their way out of the maze they're now left in." Munroe said.

"I don't understand," Simon whispered to himself as he stood up.

"How could I have not known something was wrong they've been asleep since we got here!" he continued.

"Silence!" Dalinda shouted as she made her way to the center of the room. "Your friends aren't dead they will awake from their slumber in due time." Dalinda said.

"Witches like Munroe practice binding magic allowing the minds of her victims to be stuck in one place until the spell wears off. Your friends are asleep but they are very much conscious as their minds are trying to find a way out of the maze that Munroe's magic has left them in. So the problem isn't 'if they'll wake up' but rather "when." Dalinda explained which caused Simon's eyes to widen.

"So you're saying that it can take years for them to be physically conscious again ?" Simon asked horrified.

"Not exactly," Munroe responded.

"If the prophecy is fulfilled before they regain consciousness then their minds would be trapped in the maze. While their bodies are destroyed." Munroe added.

"I'm afraid you have a few more details to explain about this Prophecy." Dalinda stated. Which caused Munroe to glance at her with pure confusion.

"I told you everything I know." Munroe stated. Which caused Gray and Dalinda to glance at each other.

"I'm unable to shift into my wolf which is odd seeing that she's in full control." Gray explained with her light gold eyes shining brightly and her canines poking out as she spoke.

"And I'm able to access the abilities that my dragon has but I can't shift into my dragon and it's not just us. But every other creature as been experiencing this except the 'king' of course." Dalinda said spitting out the word 'king' as if it had a bitter taste.

The room became silent at the mention of the king as everyone chose to ignore the conversation. About the king for another time Simon glanced around frightened as he watched everything unfold. Before swiftly grabbing a knife and slicing his wrist.

"It's true." he said watching the red substance seeped through the fresh wound.

"I'm a healer, as well as a fairy and my wound won't heal." he said looking at the women before him. Munroe gasped loudly before clasping her hands over her mouth.

"What is it?" Dalinda asked while glaring at her.

"We need to find Enyo!" Munroe exclaimed.

"What does Enyo have to do with any of this ?"
"What is happening?!?"
Simon screamed frantically.

"I thought we had more time but it appears we don't. As long as Enyo's alive it's only going to get worse." Munroe said horrified.
