Depth Of The Abyss

XXXIV: Laistrygonians

Isaac's POV

Minsan talaga mapapamura ka na lang dahil sa kamalasan.

"Ano wala?" Tanong ko kay Asa matapos nito mag-ikot.

"No traces."

Pinakatitigan ko ang camp. Naandito kami sa dapat ay camp ng Amazon, ito ang lokasyon na binigay ng Academy pero wala. Walang kahit ni isang bakas ng Amazon na makikita. Sa halip ay ang magulo lang na camp.

Ang mga maliliit na cabin ay sira-sira, ang arena nila ay biak at marami pang bakas na may nangyaring hindi maganda.

"I think we are-" hindi maituloy ni Critzel ang sasabihin niya.

"In danger." Zayn finished it. "We must get out of here."

"Paano ang Amazon? Nasaan sila?" Tanong ni Asa, nag-aalala.

"They must have evacuated."

"Walang report Zayn!" Asa yelled frustratingly as we started walking fast outside the camp, "if they evacuated our keepers would report it but there's nothing!" She sounded terrified which is not good.

"Asa is right Zayn," huminto ako sa paglalakad at gano'n din sila, "kailangan natin makahanap ng bakas na makapagtuturo sa Amazon."

Kasi paano na lang na nawawala ang napakalaking grupo ng Amazon? Follower of the God Ares? Imposible!

"Just a little amount of time." Trix said, Zayn sighed and he nodded.

"Be quick." Dapat ay naghihiwalay na kami ngunit natigilan kami nang makaramdam ng mabigat na presensya.

"You won't find them." Sa hindi malamang dahilan ay nakaramdam ako ng galit, na para bang gusto kong manapak! Ngunit natigilan ako nang makita ko ang tao-hindi god sa harap namin.

Wearing full armor, provoking red eyes, flaring black hair right above his shoulder and a gold double blade sword in his hand. Ares stood with his overpowering presence.

"Lord Ares." Though our last encounters are not good we still bow our head.

Nakaangat ang ulo nito ang mata ay mababang nakatingin sa amin na para ba kaming isang maliliit lang na nilalang sa kaniya. Naalala ko si Harry, minsan ay ganiyan ang tindig niya lalo na kapag hindi niya kasama si Ciara.

"Demi-gods." He addressed us and that's our cue to stand up properly.

"What do you mean by we cannot find them?" Ang toni ng boses ni Critzel ay hindi pangkaibigan.

"They're lost."

"Obviously." Nanlaki ang mata ko at bahagyang hinawakan ang pulsuhan ni Critzel. Ares red eyes flare.

"What happened to them my lord?" It took me a lot of courage to call him that. Kailangan ko siyang i-distract at alisin ang atensyon kay Critzel.

"Someone had abducted them." Nalito ako sandali, abducted? Gano'n kalaking grupo? Naglakad si Ares papalapit sa Arena. "They faught hard." He stared at the huge crack in the Arena, "my brave warriors."

"We will find them." Ani Trix.

"You can't find them." Ares looked back on us, "they're in the maze of lost." Maze of lost? "Someone intended to lock them there because I believe they refuse to side with them." Side with them?

Nagukuhan ako lalo, the gods must have known something that we don't!

"And I'm afraid some of the warriors are in the same foot with mine." Parang biglang kumabog ang dibdib ko sa kaba, naalala ko ang mga huntes. Sana...sana walang nangyaring masama sa kanila.
