Blood of the Aswangs

Chapter 13: Sail to the Christmas Vacation

"Merry Christmas po!" smiled some Pinoy kids after a caroling. "Tenkyu!"

"Merry Christmas!" smiled Prometheus as he closes the gate.

"Wow. For an evil space wizard, he's a pretty chill dude," smiled the kid.

Prometheus sighs and climbs up the stairs to the tall house on the hill.

"Classes will resume at January 21..." said the Reaper. "So, you guys want to hang out in Union Island City?"

"In Visayas?" asked Miguel. "Sure! I always wanted to ride a plane!"

"Ah! An island I could occupy for my clones!" smiled Athena.

"Really? Sounds scary..." said Anna. "Then again, it'd be nice to just practice my fashion! Been makin' clothes lately with my string."

Prometheus laughs out of nowhere. "Y-! YOU SH-SHOULDN'T DOHUHUHU THAT!!!" he laughed.

"What? Why?" asked Anna.

"Do you know what your string is MADE of?" smiled Prometheus.

"No...? What?"

Prometheus laughs.

"WHAT!?!?"

"I wanna draw some of the views and places for my manga," smiled Jedan.

"I heard there is good honey there... Would like it for my tea...!" smiled Gerard.

"What IS your tea made of?" asked Miguel.

"It's a secret ingredient... I usually try my world's Dragon Honey. The one made from the Keepers' blood?"

"I am well aware," said Miguel.

"But I heard Earth honey is less sweet so the spoonfuls could be controlled in a much more orderly fashion," smiled Gerard.

"I could build us some boats there-!!!" smiled Fred.

"Unneeded. This world's more advanced than yours," said Prometheus.

"DAMN IT!!!"

"So, I can't bake or cook there any of me special treats?" asked Happy.

"Calm down, everyone. We've been training and studying for months. You all failed the test. But I am kind enough to give you the best vacation ever," said Prometheus.

"Reaps..." said a male voice in the Reaper's head. "Would be a good time to make a ship I can use for meself!"

"No, Book," said the Reaper. "You can't drive. We've established that."

"Aw! But it's a pirate adventure!"

"We're using either a portal or a plane," said the Reaper.

"You could let us out for once," said Haruno.

"No," said the Reaper. "Not while Miguel is still naive about-..."

"Hey, Mr. Reaper!" smiled Miguel, teleporting before him.

"Fuck! Shit!" The Reaper sighs. "What do you want?"

"Well... I never had a vacation outside of my home, yet! Do we go thru portal or plane?"

"Usually, Prometheus loves to fly. So, I'm gonna have to say, 'plane,'" said the Reaper.

"Oooooh!" smiled Miguel.

"Okay! It is decided!" smiled Prometheus. "Tomorrow in December 17, we're GONNA RIDE A BOAT!!!"

"WHAT!?!?" asked the Reaper.
