Athena's descendants and the Jewel of Barthimia (Greek mythology)

Chapter 14 - The unwilling demi-god.

Chapter 14 - The unwilling demi-god.

“Help us out here guys, leg holding weeds?” Hollie signalled one, two, three and Hollie, Jordan and Claire shouted in unison,

“Vinatonius.”

Suddenly, millions of weeds emerged from the ground, each grasping one of Frederick’s limbs.

“Ok, we can see you, you can see us. We need you to tell us where it is,” Hollie said, “You will die if you don’t, creatures will hunt you down and kill you.” Her tone was strict and quite evil.

The man was a peculiar sight. He seemed genuine but he had an ancient look in his eyes, a swirling mass of wisdom and knowledge.

Frederick must have dropped his sword during his flight for it was nowhere to be seen. No escape for him this time, thankfully.

“The creatures are safely locked up in Tartarus,” Frederick spoke quite deeply.
