༺𓆩Veshniu's P. O. V.𓆪༻
Kumuyom ang kamao ko, nakakunot ang noo ko. Tanging malakas na hangin sa disyerto ang nag-iingay sa pagitan namin habang nagkatitigan kami.
Sinuot kong muli ang bracelet ko, the literia automatically works like a magic.
"I'm sorry, but I'm a trainee. I can't accept the invitation however you want."
Inobserbahan ko siya, mukhang hindi niya nakikita ang mga espirito na ngayo'y nagtatago sa likod ko at nanginginig dahil sa presensya niya.
The man's lips curled up, pinagpag niya ang balikat niya na mayroong kaunting alikabok.
"I know that..." Tumango-tango siya.
Naglabas siya ng teleportation scroll sa bulsa niya.
"That's why I'm here to negotiate with them..." His voice is baritone.
Tumikhim ako at lumapit sa kanya. I noticed how his eyes flicker when he caught a glimpse of my eyes.
"Anubis..." Biglang sambit niya na ikinakunot ng noo ko.
"What?"
Ngumisi lang siya, I noticed that he has doe eyes and tan skin...and if I'm not mistaken, he's between twenty-five to thirty years old based on his appearance.
"Tug at the end of my suit, we're gonna teleport from here."
Tumango ako. I tugged at the hem of his tuxedo.
I watched as his fingers flicked on air, nanlaki ang mata ko nang biglang maglaho ang bangkay at dugo ng higanteng serpyente.
In just a flick of his fingers, all the traces of the monsters were now gone....
"You ready?" He asked, tumango lang ako.
Pinunit niya ang teleportation scroll at bigla kaming nawala. Sa isang kisap-mata, nasa loob tapat na kami ng agency ng Egypt.
"Can you lead the way, miss?" I noticed a subtle sound of sarcasm laced in his voice, pero ipinagwalang-bahala ko na lamang ito.
Luminga-linga siya sa paligid nang pumasok kami.
"So, this is Yumin, huh?"
He sounds intrigued. I clenched my fist since his voice sounds so flat and it feels its mockery.
I know what he means. I'm not dumb.
Sa lahat ng agency ng Mythos, isa ang Egypt branch sa pinakamahirap, at huli sa mga nagtayo.
The reason for it? Nahirapan mag-stabilize ang branch sa Egypt dahil mas marami ang kriminal na demigods ang meron dito.
Just like what happened a while ago, there were people kidnapping children. Some of them even experimented on young demigods and they negotiated with those at black market.
Additionally, the Gods in Egypt don't care about half or demigods...they are just spreading their offsprings.
Well, not everyone but mostly. That's the reason why Yumin was created in the very first place.
"Veshniu!"
Nagitla ako nang sumalubong sa akin ang nag-aalalang mukha ni Natti, kasama si Adom at Rayum.
Adom even touched his chest in relief of seeing my face.
"Veshniu, anong nangya—"
Naputol ang sasabihin ni Natti nang makita niya ang lalaki na nasa likuran ko. Hindi nakawala sa akin ang pagkuyom ng kamao at pagbabago ng ekspresyon niya.
No one in Yumin was ignorant of how gentle and graceful Natti is towards every visitor.
Napalunok ako nang makita ko kauna-unahang beses ang tila seryoso, at galit niyang ekspresyon.
"Fred," usal niya, kita ko sa gilid ng mata ko ang pag-ngisi ng katabi ko.
"Hello, dear Natti... I'm here to settle your debt." He mumbles, pasimple siyang tumingin sa akin.
Hindi nakaiwas sa tingin ko sila Rayum, Adom at Natti.
They were all frozen in their place at the mention of the 'debt'.
