“…Orion, libra and scorpio.”
Percy and Andromeda lay on the ground outside the house, stared into the sky and listened to local wildlife- which luckily mostly consisted of crickets and some confused frogs.
“So, Stella and Eri got engaged.”
Percy glanced over at Andromeda who stared into the distance: “Mh-hm…”
Suddenly she jumped to her feet: “That’s not okay!”
“Huh?”
“They are settling down, Auriga and Lyra are friends with the Sims and Cyngus… Cyngus is Cyngus. We are not going back, are we?”
Percy sat up: “Of course we are!”
“Then why is the responder off? Why doesn’t anyone try to actually get back?! I don’t want to stay here? What if they find us?!”
“Calm down.” , Percy sighed and picked himself up off the ground.
“No! You don’t know them!They are brutal! They will kill us without hesistation!”
Percy grabbed her by the wrist and embraced her: “No one will hurt you. We’ll get back. Somehow!”
