Chapter 18 - The Judge (1/2)

Persephone

I woke up later, my head groggy and my vision blurred. Thanatos stood over me, his cold eyes staring at me.

”What happened?” I rubbed my eyes.

”You had a vision.”

It came back to me. The whispers. Mordred. His name flashed through my mind.

I stood up quickly, looking around. ”Mordred!” I called out.

After hearing no response, I turned to Thanatos. ”Is Mordred here?” I demanded.

He closed his eyes and stood still for a moment, concentrating.

”No. He is lost.”

I inhaled deeply, over and over again, steeling my nerves. I had to save Solskin. I clutched my pocket watch and looked back to Thanatos.

”Are you ready to go?”

”Yes,” I replied, calmly and resolutely.

”Good.” With that, he turned and walked off towards the darkness.
