The Desert Sorcerer
Georgia was very happy. Today was her birthday, her friends were in school and they were all having fun. Georgia was having fun because her friend Elizabeth was telling her a story. Elizabeth was good at stories. They were sitting in the library when suddenly a vortex appeared above them. They all started screaming and tried to run away. Well except for Georgia. She just stood and stared. The vortex increased its strength and dragged Georgia in. Her friends...
The Fallen Goddess
PROLOGUE
It was a mild night, the stars were shining brightly in the sky, and insects were quietly humming to themselves. The high priestess looked out at this scene of peace and sighed to herself in despair. The treasures in this temple will soon be gone she thought. You see she was a high priestess for a reason and being gifted with a small amount of foresight enabled her to see what was to come. Over the crest of the hill, raiders’ torches could be seen. They...
Chapter Two
The Human
Sky was walking along a forest track when from behind she felt the sharp edge of a knife.
A voice said “Turn around!”
Sky obeyed and was astonished to see that her attacker was a girl around the age of 14. She was wearing battered clothes that looked like several other people had lived in them before they had made their way to her. She had creamy brown skin, light brown hair that caught the sunlight and cold blue eyes. Sky looked at her in interest. This...
Chapter Ten
The Norse Camp
Sky opened her eyes and looked at the canvas above her. Her whole body ached but that didn’t bother her. While she had been asleep she had had some strange dreams. In one Athena was sitting next to her and she looked worried. Pan came in and they started talking with each other.
“When are you going to tell the others about her?” asked Pan.
“I don’t know what you are talking about” replied Athena.
“They may not see it but I can. She is your child by...
Chapter Three
The Prison Cell
Sky groaned in pain when she landed on the ground of her new home. She looked around and saw how different it was from her nice, cosy dorm room. Which you gave up so you could meet a human who betrayed you she reminded herself. Technically it was her own fault but she was too sore to go into the details. Her cell was wet and damp. It smelled like Alec’s socks just before wash day. She was interested to see some slime growing in the corner.
“Home,...
Chapter Four
Waking Up
Images faded in and out of my mind. I saw a man lean over me, he had giant, curving horns that framed the sky. He faded away and I felt hands pick me up and carry me in a smooth, flowing, continuous motion. I was beyond pain now. I was overloaded by the very sensation of it so nothing made much sense to me. I heard a rough voice singing to me and I fell asleep, dreaming of the wild.
The next time I woke up, I was looking at a white, cracked...
Chapter Five
A New Home
I had made my few goodbyes to the hospital staff; Hope had grabbed me in a hug. I was now headed to a foster home as the police had not found any match for me in their database. I was wearing second-hand clothes from a charity shop. These and the few things in my rucksack were all I owned. The clothes I was wearing when I was found had been cut away so I had no connection to who I was. The car pulled up by the pavement and I got out. My new home was one of...
Chapter Six
What the Gods did next
Sky faded from the throne room and they were all quiet for a few minutes. Finally Athena said “We must follow her, to see what happens”. The other gods agreed and they projected themselves into the court room. They saw Sky being chained to the floor and her sentence. After the sentence had been carried out, they returned to their throne room. They were shocked by what had happened. Zeus felt this more strongly than the others. He had been in...
Chapter Seven
I meet Athena
I never went back to sleep after I had made my mind up. Instead I made a plan so Emily and John wouldn’t be suspicious. Today Katie and Noah are both in a school play so they will be rehearsing with the whole cast downstairs. John will be busy working and Emily will be busy supplying the cast with food. It will be easier if I say I’m going to a friend’s house today and since they are busy, they won’t mind if I walk there.
The cast arrive and I...
Chapter Eight
Travelling the Wild Ways
The wild ways are the shortcuts Pan uses to travel the world. Gods don’t normally use them as they can teleport but since using their godly powers would alert their enemies to their position; they used the wild ways.
During the journey, the gods planned with Pan, walking ahead. Sky walked behind, mainly because she couldn’t help them but also she felt a little out of place. They were thousands of years old and she had barely hit the...
