Styx (Goddesses of the Underworld #2)

145. The Voices in My Mind

The Voices in My Mind

were slowly building to a crescendo.

A collective scream was coming;

I could feel it and I clutched

Styx’s hand tighter.

Calm yourselves, I said to the voices,

I cannot hear what you are saying.

They knew when they spoke

one above the other,

their words were no different

to me than the calls of angry crows.

But looking at Metis

and the strange God at her side,

I could understand what they were saying.

Danger lurked in every corner here.

And something was deeply,

catastrophically wrong.
