Escaping.

"How did you know this place existed Achilles?" Jason asked, he looked around, they were going through a tunnel to somewhere.

"I didn't," Achilles responded.

"I just got told about this when i first came here a few days ago, there was an old Blacksmith still not broken by the work, he told me countless generations of Humans dug up this place to escape, i think it already finished by now," Achilles responded with some sadness, he still remembered the Grandpa that told him this, even when he was so old and so worn out by the work, he still smiled at him.

"Oh... where did he go," Jason asked.

"He was taken somewhere, i don't know, i believe he was taken to be killed, i mean Old people can't work and Sirens are not fans of their slaves lazying around," Achilles responded.

"That is sad..." Jason said this.

"Yes, indeed very sad," Achilles responded.

They walked for a few minutes.

"How did you come here? I believe you said that you got here a few days ago." Jason asked this question.

"A few days ago enormous storm appeared in the entire Ocean, i believe it managed to sink countless ships, Siren took the chance and kidnapped a few people. i was one of them." Achilles said this.

"Hm? (Can it be that we were sunken by the Storm?) i see... oh... AGH..." Jason put his hand to his head.

"What happened!" Achilles looked back and asked.

"I don't know, when i tried to remember how i appeared here, pain struck my mind," Jason said, it was really painful.

"Hm?." Achilles frowned and a blue hue appeared in his eyes.

"You are cursed," Achilles said.

Jason pulled his head up.

"Cursed? By Who?" He asked, he didn't know curses existed but that would not surprise him after seeing Sorcery from the Sirens.

"It's a terrible Neus that have struck your mind... it also made by a total Amateur in the Usage of Neus, if i spend a little time i can trace the Neus and discover the identity of the person who Cursed you, do you want to do that?" Achilles asked.

Jason gritted his teeth, they didn't have time to be wasting here but he needed to find out who was the person that cursed him.

He never had any grievances against any Witch or Sorcerer ever.

"Do it," Jason said and extended his head.

Achilles nodded and put his hand just above Jason's head, it was not touching.

The blue light came out from his hand.

Jason smiled, he felt like a warm current was going through his mind, it was a good feeling like you just fell on squishy clouds and were flying in them.

10 Minutes Later.

"Done..." Achilles said this and sighed, he had some sweat on his body, and this wasn't an easy thing to do.

"Thank you," Jason said this.

"No problem, please give me the Weapon now," Achilles said and extended his hand.

Jason nodded and gave him the stick weapon.

Achilles nodded, he squatted down and started to draw in the dirt.

Time went on and he stood up.

"This is the person currently cursing you... Jason." He said this.

Jason looked down and...

"No... why... No...." His body started shaking, he fell and gritted his teeth.

--

They ran for 3 Hours before coming out of the cave.

"Are you alright?." Achilles asked, he was worried, and after Jason saw who was that was cursing him he fell on himself.

His eyes lost a little bit of light.

It was like a little bit of himself died inside.

"Yes... where are we now?" Jason said this.

"As i said before, we are in the forest close to the Siren City." Achilles looked around, he was also a first-time visitor here, he only knew this because of the kind grandpa that told him this.

"Wait..." Jason jumped up, his face recovering, he didn't have time to be down right now.

"I need to get my friends, Achilles, thank you for your help, and do you know how to escape this place?" Jason asked him this, he almost forgot why he went to the city in the first place.

"No..." Achilles responded making Jason disappointed.

Before he left to find Ivan and Boris he heard Achilles say something that made him happy.

"But i know who will." He said this.

Jason looked back and asked, "Who will know the escape from this Godforsaken place?" He said this.

Achilles came close to him and passed him going to one place.

He looked back and said.

"My captain." Achilles smiled and rushed towards the entrance of the city.

Jason was confused at first, but then his face lightened up and followed Achilles.

--

In the palace up in the mountain.

Phanterope was sitting on a beautiful bench.

She was in the open place that looked down on the entire City.

Aglaope came next to her and asked.

"Do you not want to kill the rats?" she said with some annoyance.

"No, keep them, i know they will be more than enough to sniff out the main rat." Phanterope pulled her back and said this with a smile.

--

"Are we here?" Jason asked, he looked in front of them, they were just next to the Entrance of the City.

Hiding in the bush.

"Yes, i believe i can sense my captain here." Achilles. closed his eyes and said this.

"Oh..." Jason smiled, he still didn't know what was Achilles doing, he just associated it with Sorcery.

"Jason, you don't know how to use Neus right?" Achilles sighed and asked.

"Oh... no i don't." Jason sighed, he didn't want to lie to Achilles, it was quite easy to figure out that he didn't know what Neus was.

"I see... then we need to change that, follow me." Achilles sighed and turned back, he went back to the forest.

Confused, Jason followed him back.

--

They found a spot where trees were overgrown and big boulders were embedded in the ground.

Achilles sat down on one of the Boulders and said.

"What we are doing is invading one of the most protected spots in the entire City, there is no way i will be able to protect you if we are discovered, so please listen to me now, let me explain what Neus is," Achilles said this.

"I see, but can you please tell me how did you discover i didn't know anything about Neus?" Jason said this, he almost bit his tongue to stop his mouth, he told Achilles he didn't know anything about Neus.

"It's because i couldn't sense any defences in your mind when i tracked the Curse," Achilles responded with a smile.

Jason nodded and sat in front of him.

"Please." He pulled his hand and asked him.

"Alright... let's start with where Neus came from," Achilles said and started to explain things that would make Jason gasp with shock.

End Of Chapter.
