Descendants of the Gods

Chapter 85: Last Chapter

THIRD PERSON'S Point of View

Please protect him. It was the simple wish of a dead man who doesn't want anyone else to suffer the same fate and pressure he was given, but it's already too late to fulfill that wish.

"Theon, you are our only hope."

They have never felt so helpless before, not even the war made them this miserable. Hindi mahirap intindihin ang mga salitang binanggit ng Commander ng Acropolis, ngunit ayaw nila itong tanggapin.

Calix Perseus Alastor is dead. His death made the gods angry, and they deemed him a traitor in their divine kingdom.

He was supposed to be the sacrificial lamb who will save the gods so they can keep their thrones in the heavens, but he decided to throw his life and legacy away for a bunch of measly demigods.

They called his death useless— a sacrilege to their rule, and they won't show mercy.

They don't see him as a hero, so they threw his soul in the darkest depths of Tartarus without a proper verdict from the three judges of the Underworld.

The gods said he doesn't deserve the Blessed Isles of Elysium, nor the Fields of Asphodel. Hindi maiwasan ni Kasdeya na magalit, ngunit alam niyang wala siyang magagawa dahil mga Olympians na mismo ang nagsabi nito.

She's infuriated and she feels weak. Lalo na ngayon habang pinapanood niya ang pag-uusap ng Commander at ni Theon.

Theon Alastor was always known as second heir of the Alastorian Tribe. But now, he is their one and only successor.

With his new title, he will inherit his late brother's legacy and become the sacrifice for the Olympians.

"It's not fair..." Bulong ni Paris habang patuloy na tumutulo ang kaniyang luha. "It's not fucking fair! Hindi niyo dapat sakaniya pinasa ang responsibilidad ni Kuya Calix!" Sigaw nito.

Hindi kumibo si Kasdeya. Wala siyang magawa kundi hayaan itong mangyari dahil kung siya ang papapiliin, alam niyang ito lang ang natatanging desisyon.

She knows it's fair. Theon had always been the second in line. Now that Calix is dead, it's only logical that Theon will step up to take his brother's duties. It's always been like that. It's plain and simple.

Kasdeya can't argue with logic, and that fact itself makes her feel worse.

Wala silang laban kahit na gustuhin nila. Ito ang tamang desisyon, pero ayaw nila itong mangyari.

Theon is the only option. He had always been the backup plan.

He will be the Olympians' new hero.

They robbed his future and replaced it with something far worse than what it used to be.

She doesn't have the power to disagree. She doesn't have the authority to say otherwise. Hindi niya kayang tuparin ang natatanging bilin sakaniya ni Calix.

He died to save them, but why does it feel like his death is nothing but a punishment?

Kasdeya has never felt so weak.
