《Guardians : Awakening of Athene》Chapter 13: Maze of the Unspoken Ogre
Advertisement
Blue sky, white clouds. The ship travels smoothly as Alice and the guardians, rests on their passenger ship.
Alice stands holding the rails, watching the seagull beak and the ocean wave. "What was the dungeon called?" Alice turns her head towards Hana.
The 164 cm blond hair girl points up to the sky. "We are approaching it, the Maze of the Unspoken Ogre." Suddenly, the sky wasn't clear anymore, the white clouds turn dark. Thunder struck as the ocean riptides. The ship becoming unstable as it excels through the dark ominous wind, crashing into a whirlpool.
"Hold on to something!" Eric yelled with a panicking face. The furious wind blew, sharks attacked as the lightning strikes the controls. Destroying the ship into halves. Hana and Sarah both flew into the air carrying by the wind. There voiceless screams didn't reach anyone as the ferocious cyclone took them away.
Alice still holding still but the rails were falling apart. Surrounded by the sharks as she stands on her wooden piece of the boat. Sharks lunges their body with their violent jaws. Alice contacted her iBracelet and pulled out her spear. She pierces the shark, destroying it's jaws and stabbing its body. Blood scattered on her body as she waves her weapon, unleashing the dead shark from her spear.
"I just wanted to have a school life!" She sighs, as she defend herself against the dozen sharks.
Eric holds the rabbit with his arms, afraid that Lancelot will fly away as well. He rushes to the control room, the conductors body already dead. Some struck by lightning, some went with the violent storm and others eaten by the deadly sharks. He reaches for the controls.
"Damn it!" He curses. "Its all or nothing." He places his hand on the operating systems. - System Hack : Acceleration - He chanted as white magic gears appeared, spinning clockwise at intense speed. The ship travels at an uncontrollable speed, leaving the rest behind.

- Entrance at the Maze -
Dark purple particles appears in front the maze entrance, forming a image of a human. In his vision, appeared six other humans waiting here.
He approaches them, "Guardians, guild members and adventures, I assumed?" Kiva's cold and careless voice reaches their ears.
A blond spiked - hair handsome male, the same height as Kiva, stood out. He walks toward Kiva with a cocky smile. The male cracked his knuckles, with a body similar to a high-school jock. He ran and lunged his fist against Kiva. But instead of coming to impact, he passes through the body. The blond male lifted his feet and kicks with his denim jeans and his white sport sneakers. Again, he passes through the body.
"Oh old buddy" He then puts his right arm around Kiva's shoulder. This time, it come in contact. "Let me introduce you, to the survivors that arrived."
"King, its impossible just with us." These guys, aren't fit for this job. His cold voice reaches the ears of the others.
"What do you mean, we aren't fit." A big body lifted himself, with his military outfit and his massive machine gun on his back. The 200 cm height body talks down onto Kiva, as if he was a small ant.
"We all survived the massive storm, the sharks and the lightning. Our comrades missing, eaten by sharks and took away by the storm! And you said we aren't fit!?" A female voice shout as if she just cried.
The other three members didn't care and pay no attention. Within these three, a child walked out. "They might not be, but I sure am." Carrying his backpack while playing his console game.
Kiva focuses his eyes onto the other two members. A young female teen sits beside the small fire made with twigs, reading her book. While the other middle-aged man, roasted his fish that he just caught.

"I might be wrong." Kiva's body dissolves into purple particles of matter and appears once again in-front of the small fire. "Mind if I have one?" His cold with gentle voice, vibrates through their mind.
The middle-aged man passed the fish to Kiva. "Haven't seen a talented soul like you for a while." He smiles as he roasted another fish.
"The maze is a dangerous place, the young girl lifts her glasses with her left middle finger." She continues to read her book.
"You worry too much" Kiva smiles gently at the girl.
The young teen looks back at him, she smiles. "Not going to work, pretty boy." As she continues to read her book.
- The ship -
Alice waves her spear against the shark once more, her face laughing with all the slaughtering as if killing was in her blood. Her entire body covered with blood, as the dead sharks surrounds her broken small wooden piece. She agitate her mind and calms herself down.
"Alright, lets go find the gang." She scans the area, there was nothing to be find except the thundering clouds and the dead bodies of sharks. She realized, she's alone in the middle of the sea.
- Wisdom Eye - She chanted. White solid lines appears to her eyes. "Search : Kiva." The name appeared first into her mind but she didn't know why. Data transferred into her mind.
A systematic voice echoes - "Cannot be found."
"Search : Eric " she repeated her search. The same voice reaches her head. "Cannot be found".
"Lancelot, she shouted." - "Cannot be found"
She panicked and worried, although she only knew them for a couple of days, but they are still her friends. Alice who never had any true and real friends, but she still understands, she wanted to protect them.
She shouted "Search: Hana, Sarah." The same voice vibrates through her mind. - Cannot be found -.
She fell to her knees. She's stuck in the middle of no-where. No food, no water and no companions.
