Anywhere but here

"We need to get out of here and bring Dex to Asxlepius, we cannot let Apollo know his son is in his death bed," Adriel's authority voice snapping throughout the air, my attention was brought to Adriel as he had his eyes locked into mind while Jacob was standing beside me looking at the both of us

"Again." He continued and my eyebrows raised on his statement, what did he meant by again? As I walk closer to Dex's laying body, Jacob had securely lock his way to my side and as Adriel was looking over the two of us, Adriel looks at me questioningly but I could only looked down.

"You can't be serious right now Adriel!" I heard Ramses on the other side as he protest over the suggestion, " by the time we got to Asclepius house, Dex wouldn't make it out, the poion in him is running out and –"

"Then what so you suggest he's the best we got beside Apollo! He'll have our heads and –" As I was kneeling beside Dex's place state, hearing the name Asclepius my mind wonders about the God. Jacob who seems to know my confuse state lower down to whisper.

"He's the god of medicine, Apollo's apprentice, he had thought Asclepius everything then let him teach Dex everything," Jacob had whisper the answer and I nod gratefully to him.

Jacob stood up and begin waltzing to his brothers leaving me and Dex alone, I watch the two brothers argue while Jacob barge in and try to fix the problem.

"Adriel, I think we need to see Raymo –" but before Jacob could finished his sentences something trigger inside Adriel as he snap his cold gaze to the younger and for the first time I had meet Adriel I had never seen him so sinister, his cold gaze had made Jacob step back a little, I don't think he was ready.

It didn't seem like they were going to be talking about it more but I had too, this Dex's life in our hand ," Adriel…" I started to call his name, his head snaps from glaring through Ramses and Jacob too me, " Jacob is right, if this Ray guy can help him than what more can we lose?"

His eyes that once held the cold gaze suddenly looks at me and soften ," Amethyst you don't know who you're dealing with and what you're talking about and –"

"Adriel, I don't know what happened with you and this Ray. I understand that this is something personal but you need to understand this is Dex's life in our hands, "I look at him as he was still looking at me, "I can't let a friend go like this, is your ego to big until you're willing to let your friend go because of your problem?"

"if you're not helping then I will, and all of your – "gesturing at Jacob and Ramses –" are welcome join me."

It makes me disappointed knowing that Adriel was willing to risk his friends's life to travel further just so he didn't have to see this Ray that he hate so much. I was still staring Adriel who had his gaze at me, I wanted to look but I know I would never forgive myself for yelling out like that.

"I'm coming with you Thy, you're not alone, "Jacob was beside me as I finish, I looked at him gratefully and smile, "I'm not letting my friend die like that."

Ramses who was looking could only look at Adriel as he pat his back and whisper something to Adriel, I didn't know what it was but it made Adriel slumps and sigh, he suddenly waves his hands as black mist started to spread to my toes and engulf me and I try to swat away the mist but something happened as I started to glow.

I look down on myself and my attire was different than the once I was wearing, the chiton Ramses given me was now transform into a white sparkling chiton, vines had encircled itself in my hands and a see through sandals, a golden wreath was put on top of my head as my hair was once let down now braided with flowers and little flower bloomed in my hair.

Ramses could only snicker, "The least you can do is make the chiton unnoticeable."

"it compliments her eyes, " he mutter, Amethyst might not caught it, but Ramses did, he was smirking as Adriel was once again silence and he looks her again.

"If we're meeting Raymond, you need to blend in… the illusion will last for a while until we can get out of there don't touch anything from the library, the books containing some ancient spells that might break the illusion," Adriel started to shuffle his way as he start walking away a bit, he then held his hands for both Jacob and Ramses to hold.

He looks at Jacob and nod, "I'm not strong enough to teleport, so I need your help to get there," Jacob only looks at Adriel and nod as he looks at Amethyst and smile.

He gesture her to come closer and she grabs his arms as their fingers intertwined with hers, Adriel who had looked at what was happening didn't realise he had squeeze Ramses' hands. As Ramses wince Adriel could only apologetically smile.

Then off we go as black mist started to surround all of us as Dex was pulled closer Adriel, She looks at Jacob as he was looking sadly at the place he was once called heaven.

"Don't worry Jac, we'll fix it," I assure him as he smiles at me.

Clearly Adriel couldn't help to see hers and Jacob interaction or that smile.

As the black mist had teleported us, I was expecting that the gates of the library od Alexandria will be much livelier especially when humans tend to exaggerate on the library to be one of the most exquisite places on Olympus, where great gods and goddesses like to hang out and chat.

What I was not expecting is that the place was worn down and tall pillars that were supposed to shimmer on the sunlight was not even a bit glossy, it was worn down.

We can see the cracks on the pillars as wines now entangle themselves in the pillars, the place where humans had describe as the cleanest place on Olympus beside the great three Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades; chambers were dusty, and it looked like it hasn't been clean over centuries, dead flowers decorated the whole place as if we were being transported to Medusa's lair rather than Olympus' pride.

I would have believe if had said this was not the library of Alexandria.
