KASDEYA ARGYROS' Point of View
Medea raises her hand with the sword and readies to stab me. Nakangiti siya ng malawak habang nakababa ang tingin sa akin. Her face contorts and the black smoke coming from her exposed skull lets out a fume of unpleasant smell na naaamoy ko.
She laughs before bringing her sword down. Napapikit ako, hindi dahil sa takot sakaniya at pag-abang sa gagawin niya, kundi dahil sa mainit na dugong tumalsik sa mukha ko.
I slowly open my eyes and see the gold knife in Medea's stomach.
Nanlalaki ang mga mata niya habang nakatingin sa kutsilyong nakatusok sa kaniyang tiyan. She slowly lets go of the sword she's holding causing it to disperse into the air. Hinugot ng sumaksak sakaniya ang patalim mula katawan ni Medea.
The witch slowly falls to her knees. Umatras ako palayo sa kaniyang katawan na ngayon ay nanghihina na. I look up to catch Theon holding his bloody knife.
"You..." She whispers softly. Malaki pa rin ang mga mata niya na tila hindi makapaniwala sa nangyari.
It happened so fast. One moment she was grinning while looking down at me, a sword made out of smoke in her hands and then, the next moment she's the one who's stabbed.
Tumayo ako at umabante paatras. Medea's hand flies to her bleeding stomach before glaring at the person who stabbed her. "How dare you? I was so close... You stupid demigods, I will never forgive you!"
Nginisihan siya ni Paris. "There's no need to forgive us when you won't see us again. Go back to where you're supposed to be, Medea. Patay ka na, so stay dead."
"No!" She yells at the top of her lungs before standing up and charging towards the guys. Napangiwi ako nang humaba ang kutsilyo ni Theon at naging spear ito. He thrusts the tip towards Medea's heart with no hesitation. Napatigil ito agad.
Umawang ang labi ni Medea bago mapasuka ng dugo. Ngumiwi ako. Tumakbo palapit sa akin si River habang humihingal. She grabs my arm and presses her body closer.
"Thank gods Theon is here," Hinihingal niyang saad. "He saved you, Kas."
Yeah. He saved me... again.
Isang tango nalang ang nasagot ko. Theon retracts his weaponm causing Medea to fall on the floor. Her blood scatters along the dark wood, staining it in a more malicious shade. I didn't know that she can bleed, patay na siya 'di ba?
"This... wasn't supposed to happen—" Kinakapos na siya sa hangin. "I was supposed to take the stone from you, bastard demigods! That's all I need... that's all I need to be free! That was the deal!"
My teeth clenches behind my closed jaw. Deal, huh? Ibig sabihin ay may kailangan siyang kunin sa amin dahil inutusan siya? Tapos ano, ibibigay niya sa nag-utos sakaniya? I slowly understand what this is all about.
She attacked us because she was ordered to.
"No... I can't lose. I need to stay alive! I'm not going back to the Underworld, I won't die again!"
"Enough."
Nagtaasan ang balahibo ko nang magsalita na si Theon. His eyes look like they were borrowed from a ferocious beast. Kahit si River ay humigpit ang hawak sa akin.
He looks down at Medea as if she's nothing but a lowly being, despite her insurmountable strength and power. Nakakatakot ang mga tingin niya lalo na't para itong umiilaw dahil sa ilaw ng buwan.
Yumuko siya at lumuhod sa harapan ni Medea. She glares at him as he stare down at her. Naging knife ulit yung spear ni Theon at gamit iyon ay inangat niya ang baba ni Medea at pinatingin sakaniya.
