13:The staff of Lycus

In the darkness I only felt pain and then suddenly I was sitting in a grassfield. A few feet away from me Cassia sat on a rock. "Alexander." She smiled and stood up and walked towards me. I tried to stand up, but found that I could not. It troubled me yet somehow I did not seem to realise it. "Cassia, my sweet, Cassia. How did I not miss you." She sat down next to me and looked me in the eyes. How did I not miss her peaceful eyes? "Alexander, what are you doing?" She questioned and I frowned in confusion. "What do you mean?" Her eyes turned purple and she cried out. "Why are you hurting me?" She wailed. I tried to grab her yet she pulled away. "How can you be so cruel? I thought you loved me, Alexander. Now you love another!" I looked at my feet, tears forming in my eyes. "Look at me! You killed me, Alexander! You batrayed me over and over again and now you will only continue! I said look at me." I faced her with blodshot eyes. "Listen to me girl, you will not talk to me like I am a dog! I am Alexander Hess!" She smiled when she saw my rage. "You still cannot control yourself. Well, that would only make things easier." She jumped on my with a daggar in her hand. "No!"

I woke up screaming, crying and sweating. I was in a grassfield again and I almost blacked out again. Heira and Demetri were looking at me in concern,"Alex, you okay?" Demetri asked. I sighed,"My name is Alexander." He laughed. "Yep, he's fine." Heira glared at him and say down next to me. I flinched remembering my dream and unfortunately she noticed it. "What's wrong?" I stood up,stumbled and sat down again. "I am only feeling tired. What happened after I blacked out and where are we?" Demetri also sat down. "About two minutes after you blacked out, gaurds started streaming into the room. We thought we were goners, but then the dragon on your hand started glowing. Suddenly a shockwave came from you and all the gaurds vanished. Heira grabed your hand and mine and she flashed us here. By the way, what did you do to me? I was myself yet I couldn't do a thing." I was still shocked alas I spoke. "I warged into you. It is a power I have. I can place my soul into another being's body and control them." Heira gasped in shock. "It can't be! There was only one wizard who could do that and his name was- Alexander Hess! How could I forget that?" Out of frustration Heira punched me and I almost slapped her. "Do not punch me. What do you know of a warg?" She looked ashamed. "I've read that you're really powerful, but you w- no I can't tell you your future." Demetri sat down next to Heira. "What happened?" She shook her head, showing she would not tell me. "Leave it be then!" Heira glanced at me. "Why are you in such a bad mood? Also why did you cry?" I lowered my head in shame. "It was a dream. I dreamed about Cassia, my old friend. She-she accusied me of murdering her and then she tried to stab me with a daggar." Demetri and Heira looked at me with symphaty. "It'll be okay. It was only-" Heira's words faded as I saw a vision.

Two soldiers were buring the Staff of Lycus. "No one will find this." One muttered to the other. "I hope not or they would be very powerful." I looked at the surrounding and noticed a massive olive tree, I also saw a fountain and a statue of Hades.

"Alexander?" Demetri was waving his hand in front of my face. "Stop it, Demetrius." He laughed and yelled somethinh I could not understand. "What happend, Alexander?" Heira asked in concern. "I know where the Staff of Lycus is and how to get there." Her eyes shone with excitement. "Well? Where is it?" I placed my hand on the ground and closed my eyes. Since my encounter with my mother, I have been practicing to track other things. So far it has not worked yet now I felt certain it would. I felt the dragon starting to glow and suddenly I saw the same place I saw only moments ago. My eyes opened and I stood up. "Come with me." I started walking towards the horizon. Behind me I heard Demetri grumbling something and Haira quieting him, then they followed. "Where are we going?" Heira asked. "To where the Staff of Lycus is." She sighed. "And where is that?" I stopped,looked her in the eyes and sighed. "I do not know." Heira also stopped walking. "Then how do we know we're going the right way?" I grined my teeth and started walking. "Do you question my family's symbol and my power?" She shook her head and lowered it in shame. "Good. Trust me. Now come." They laughed at me.
