Immortalis : Kallisté

I stood up, I finally made up my mind - Loaning something will affirm everything, it will make sure that we are telling the truth - and I know there's no other way but this.

Mike jumped to where he was sitting.

"I know you're the daughter of the Goddess of Wisdom, but right now I'm really doubting that, what are you talking about!" Mike hysterically said.

"Mike calm down, I'm still sane but I can't see any plan that we can come out of this alive" I said.

"Hey whats the ruckus all about?!" Nicholas said.

"Celine here turned nuts Nicholas" Mike said.

"Mike, stop I'm not" I tried my very best to hold back my tears.

"But Celine thats really a crazy Idea! we can get of this trust Nicholas" Mike said.

Nicholas pursed his lips.

"I know what Celine's plan you dont need to detailed it out, actually thats kinda sort of my plan aswell" Nicholas confessed.

me and Mike looked at him.

"You too ?! are you serious!? we've won a lot of fights already - don't tell me that right now you two really thinking of doing a suicide job?!" Mike frustratedly said.

I looked at Mike, and his reaction, I truly understand them but I don't know how I can convince him to calm down, cause we don't really have anything for a choice here, instead I slapped him, the sound of my palm slapping his face is followed by an extreme silence, and I can't help but cry in silent, I bowed my head down to hide my tears from falling.

"Celine" Mike said.

I forced my self into composure, I wiped my face - while Nicholas is very silent.

I force a Smile at Mike "I'm sorry Mike, but just trust me on this" and even before I continue what I'm saying Mike is going to start and argue so I shut him down and said "Please don't argue with me, you know you won't win anyways" I smiled at him once again, and I hugged him "But thanks Mike for looking out" I whispered.

"Celine you will think of a way not like this" Mike's voice trembles, I can feel his heart pounding aggressively, I don't know if it was because he is angry or sad or both at the same time.

"Mike you know I'm the best when it comes on thinking, correct?" Mike nods "so I guess you'll understand now, that this is the best way out possible, even Nicholas planned to do this as well, but between him and me, he is way more important - so please just let me do this mike" I said.

"This is Crazy!!" Mike yelled, Mike stormed away to the edge of the boat.

I followed him, I know he was so furious but still I need to talk to him, I patted his back.

"Mike -" I sighed so deep "Please understand..-" Mike interrupted me "Understand that you two are planning to go on suicide mission and expect to be okay with it that easily?" Mike said.

"Mike okay I give up, okay I surrender Im giving up to you" Mike looked surprised "Okay we are following Nicholas Plans" I added.

"Minus the Suicide part?" He quickly replies

"Yes minus that part" I smiled at him.

he rushed and hug me and I was about to reassure Mike about my rephrased plans for him to cooperate but little did he know I was just sugar coating things so he will accept it lightly, but we got disturb by a sharp female voice that sounded like a growl, roar and screech at the same time.

"SCIONS!! I SMELL SOME SCIONS" Followed by a sharp laugh.

we already got the message we are about to face the other third of the triangle the monster Scylla.

"Hear it Mike?" I told him and bowed my head, the moment I rise my head Mike is staring at me with his bright smile which by the way looked way more brighter than before "What Genius?" The words came out to my mouth spontaneously, maybe because he radiates so much positivity?

Mike grabbed my hand "That's the Celine I know, Brave Feisty and Smart - Please lets sabotage your plan for real okay?" Mike tried to convince me, I forced a smile just to assure him that I will do what he wants but me and Nicholas are still positive that this is the only way.

"You two, we are near to our next mission, are you two ready to slay some beast?" Nicholas said.

Mike Nodded and I was about to nod at the same but I noticed something on Mike's wrist.

"Mike, care explaining the bangles?..- wait is that a snake?" I said.

"Ahmm I dont know yes it was a snake before it turned into a bracelet or something" Mike answered.

quickly Nicholas rushed towards us.

"What do you think is this Nicholas?" I asked.

"We both know that snakes belong to his mom right?" He said and I nodded.

"when was this snake attached itself on to you Mike?" Nicholas Asked.

"Awhile ago not long before, why? is this bad?" Mike added.

"its one of your Mother, I mean Goddess Demeter's Sacred Animal the serpent and judging by the way it looks I think its from your mom." Nicholas said.

"SCIONS COME A LITTLE MORE CLOSER!! FASTER" the voice is more intense than before, I can feel the boat is rumbling by the echo of the voice, judging by how much power Scylla is releasing she is Gigantic no doubt.

"Guys we should really get ready we need to do everything now" I said.

"but before that, Nicholas what does this thing supposed to do?" Mike asked "will it help us?" He added.

I looked at Nicholas hoping that he will say yes or something positive.

"To be Honest I dont know too" Nicholas replied "It may or may not help us, only the Goddess knows what the snake is for" Nicholas said "but one thing is for sure we all pray and hope for the same thing, that, that thing is a help from your mom" Nicholas Added.

I looked at Mike - his face draws nothing but just plain courage and determination.

"Maybe I just have to trust my Mom, Moms only like and want the best things for their kids, that's what you taught me? Right Nicholas?!" Mike Confidently says while he draws his Toxō ready to shoot.

Nicholas and I were shocked and Surprise by how m.a.t.u.r.e Mike turned in a little amount of time.

"Ooohhhkay now thats what I call a real Battle Cry" Nicholas giggled.

I looked at Mike and at the back of my Mind I was asking a question, are you really the son of the harvest goddess?? Mike turned himself our Sun, He blasted us all the ray of hope we all needed, but nothing is changed Nicholas and I caught eyes and we both know that things must be done the way it should be, the way we both planned telepathically.
