KASDEYA ARGYROS' Point of View
"What the hell is happening?" Rinig na rinig ang sigawan ng mga demigods. Everyone is panicking at the sight of the barrier slowly falling apart before being turned to nothing.
Mabilis ang pagtakbo namin ni Aether. Hindi pa rin siya nakabitiw sa kamay ko. Ewan ko rin kung saan kami pupunta. We're just running for our dear lives.
The Higher Ups are nowhere to be found. It's one of my concerns. Alam kong busy sila ngayon, that's why the assessment happened today.
Wala sila ngayon sa Acropolis dahil may ginagawa silang confidential. I heard there's a meeting involving them and the Alastorians that's why they had to leave, which makes this a bad time for something wrong to happen.
Napatigil ako sa pagtakbo nang may mapagtanto. Aether looks back at me, our hands separating because of my sudden halt.
Nakakunot ang noo niya. "What in Olympus are you doing? Gusto mong iwanan kita?"
Umiling ako. "No..." I mutter while stammering with my words. "Hindi ka ba nagtataka? Someone's attacking now that the higher ups aren't present. Aether, this whole thing isn't just a normal attack. Or a monster. This is orchestrated."
Pati siya ay natigilan sa sinabi ko. His eyes widen, mirroring the expression in my face.
The running demigods past us by but we don't care. We stared= at each other, as if we have a common understanding. The first time we actually have something similar in my mind.
Kita ko sa mukha niya.
A name looms above our heads like a massive bubble of thought.
"Katharsis..." Sabay naming bulong.
Tinanguan namin ang isa't isa bago tumakbo papunta sa main building. Without saying a word, we know we need to find the others. This isn't child's play anymore.
Lalo na't kasama sa usapan ang pinakamalaking kalaban ng Acropolis.
My heart won't stop beating harshly against my chest. It feels painful to breath dahil sobrang bilis rin ng pagtakbo namin. When Aether notices that I'm falling behind, he grabs my wrist and pulls me.
Fear starts to conquer me. Alam naming Katharsis ang may gawa nito, pero wala sila sa paligid. Nagtatago sila. It's scaring me to death that they could be anywhere and everywhere.
Gods, no. Ayokong bumalik sa dati ang buhay ko.
I can't let them get to me.
"Nasaan yung iba?" Sigaw ko nang makaikot na kami sa second floor pero hindi pa rin namin makita ang mga Hellenes. Nagpalinga-linga ako sa buong lugar.
Wait. It's the middle of the night. They must be still asleep!
I groan and face-palmed. Of course, hindi naman sila pupunta rito dahil gabing gabi na. Napamura ako ng malakas. I'm so overwhelmed with all the explosions and my own fear of getting caught by the Katharsis that I didn't stop to think logically.
Humarap ako kay Aether. "Sa dormitory! They won't be here in the main building, dumbass!"
Sinamaan nya ako ng tingin. He's still holding unto my arm, hindi ko lang mapapansin kung hindi niya hinigpitan ang pagkakahawak sa palapulsuhan ko.
"Do you think I don't know what I'm doing?" He shouts at me with blazing eyes. "I know the Hellenes are here. They're not the curfew-following dogs you think they are."
Kumunot ang noo ko. "How would you know?"
"They're all gathered for a meeting," Sagot niya agad. "They're bound to be here."
