TALIA'S POV
Oh my greeks, ang ganda talaga rito!
Kailan ba ako huling nakapunta rito? Two years ago?
I poked the girl beside me. "Hm, who do you think is responsible for the disappearance of the missing people, my love?" I asked with a bright smile.
She stopped walking for awhile and looked at the sky. "I don't know..." The sun's light hit her face, illuminating her beautiful features. She faced me with a gentle smile. "But that's why we're here, right? Aalamin natin para wala nang mawala."
I clapped my hands in glee. "Tama ka dyan, Aurora! Don't you agree, Callie?"
Callie rolled her eyes. I don't know if it's because she's rude or if she just feels like vomiting again.
When we arrived here, due to car sickness, the first thing Demeter's daughter did was vomit on the ground in front of a hundred locals in Greece. Sounds pretty good, huh?
"Sorry to interrupt but uhm- where are we again?" Narinig ko bigla ang pagtanong ni Cole.
Napasimangot ako bago batukan siya. "Are you even paying attention for Apollo's sake?! We're in Athens!"
Amari explained further. "We're in my mother's land, the capital of Greece. We're going to stay at Apollo's hotel nearby. I think it's just around the corner."
My eyes widened before shaking Tazyn. "Did you hear that, my love?! May hotel pala si papshie dito!"
Nahihiya siyang ngumiti sa'kin bago tumingin-tingin sa paligid. "Talia... nakatingin sa'tin ang lahat..." Humina ang boses niya. "Nakakahiya ka."
I frowned, trying to hide my disappointment. "I'm sorry, my love. I'll make sure to be more quiet next time." I zipped my lips before patting her head.
Amari and Raven were walking in front, leading us. Nasa pinakalikod naman sina Aurora, Hiro, at Callie.
"Are you sure we're going in the right direction, genius?"
"Don't you trust me? I'm not Athena's daughter for nothing. I'm sure the hotel is just around the corner."
"It's obviously not. We've been walking around in circles."
Sa bawat misyon namin, hindi talaga nawawala ang pagbabangayan nina Raven at Amari.
They're both competitive, not to mention prideful, meaning this banter between them would last for a few minutes unless someone intervenes.
"I think it's because you're holding the map wrong, son of Zeus." Ramdam ko na ang gigil ni Amari. Biglang nag-ilaw ang mata niya.
Hep hep, ito na ata yung pinakamagandang oras para pigilan ang dalawang 'to! Kung hindi, baka masunog ang buong Athens at lagot kami kay Athena.
Before I could even speak, Aurora intervened. "Uhm... I think we're here." Her gentle voice stopped the tension.
Hays, buti naman-
"This is it?" gulat kong tanong. "For Apollo's sake- it's massive!"
Sabay sabay kaming napatigil bago tignan ang malaking building na nasa harapan namin. Mukhang may twelve floors 'to.
