Embracing Chaos (#1)

AMARI'S POV

Everything was stressing me out. 

When will all of this end? 

It's been a week... and yet nothing.

I've found nothing.

"Gods," I cursed. "Everything's messed up."

According to the council, an oracle named Agnes had a vision. Soon, Medusa will launch her attack. The Olympians, on the other hand, didn't care and left the academy this morning. 

Ayon sa kanila, wala na naman silang dapat gawin dito.

Well, curse them. I don't need them. 

"I can figure this on my own." I sighed, staring at the cat in front of me. It purred and leaned towards me. Mukhang nagpapalambing.

I caressed its fur. "Thank you, Skye," I whispered.

I am a warrior, and a warrior doesn't know how to give up.

"I can do this."

"I know you can, but don't you wanna ask for help, Amari?" Napatingin ako sa bagong dating.

"What are the two of you doing here?" I asked, shooting a brow up.

Raven leaned against the wall with a small smirk on his face. That smug face of his is getting on my nerves. "Chill, genius."

I crossed my legs and gave him a blank gaze. "Get to the point. I don't have time, your highness," I fired back sarcastically. He snickered.

Nagpabalik-balik yung tingin ni Mavi sa'ming dalawa. "I feel like a third wheel right now."

I massaged my temple. "Just shut up, and tell me why you're here, please."

Biglang nagseryoso si Mavi. "We have class today, and you're late..." His brows furrowed. "Which is weird."

Agad na kumunot ang noo ko. Sumulyap ako sa kalendaryo at napagtantong may klase nga kami ngayon.

What in the realms?

"You have to chill out, Amari," saad ni Mavi. "I'll take care of Tazyn, I promise."

He didn't need to assure me because I knew he was capable enough. After all, it's Tazyn we're talking about.

I quickly gathered my things before rushing out the room, leaving them behind. "Geez, hindi man lang kami hinintay!" pagpaparinig ni Mavi. Palihim kong inikot ang mga mata ko.

"What's our subject for today?" I asked.

Raven checked his silver watch for a second before answering. "Demigodly," he replied. Agad akong napabuntong-hininga.

The perfect time to release stress then.

Nang makarating kami sa training field ay sumalubong sa'min sina Callie, Aurora at Talia. Kasama rin nila si Cole. I immediately noticed Talia's gloomy aura.
