Depth Of The Abyss

XLIX: Warrior

Harry's POV

"F*ck! How can we get out from here!" I'm trying so hard to calm myself down because I don't want Ciara seeing me like this but hell! We've been here for days already!

I'm f*cking worried sick!

"Saac? Still no progress?" Trix asked Saac who's massaging his nape.

"Sorry, I can't manipulate it."

"F*ck Hephaestus!" I always admire that god creation but for this one?cursed him!

"Nasaan na sila Neysha...?" Nakayukong tanong ni Asa, nakayakap ito sa braso ni Ciara. Nagtama ang paningin namin ni Ciara, she smiled at me and she patted the space beside her.

I sighed and I sat beside her. Isinandal niya ang ulo sa balikat ko at hinawakan ang kamay ko tsaka pinisil iyon.

"Calm down, alright?" She said in a soft voice and magically like what she always does, I calmed down.

I looked at each of them.

Zia was leaning against the wall, her eyes are tightly closed. Beside her is Kelis, nakatayo ito, nakalukipkip at nakayuko. Si trix ay nakasandal sa bar ng selda at sapo-sapo ang noo. Sa sulok ay nakaupo si Saac at nakahiga sa hita nito si Critzel, yakap-yakap ang sarili.

"Kamusta na kaya sila sa Academy? Sana walang mangyaring masama..." Ani Asa.

"I doubt that, I bet the gods and goddesses are busy fighting with the titans right now," Critzel said.

"Grabe, napaka-optinistic mo talagang tao."

"I'm just spitting facts," ngisi ni Critzel, "let them though, let them die."

"Critz.." saway ni Ciara.

"What?"

"You know the gods cannot perish, if they are to, the whole world will crumble into pieces." Critzel smirk.

"Yeah right, no matter what, the whole world will crumble into pieces, whoever wins, the world will met its downfall."

"Siguro kung may contest ng pagiging pessimist atras mga kalaban mo Critz," asar dito ni Asa.

"Whatever battle it is," ngisi ni Critzel, umupo siya ng maayos. "Anyway, when we get out of here," isa-isa niya kaming tiningnan, "let's make sure that the titans will regret their choice of giving their blessings to us, okay?" Gumuhit ang isang nakakalokong ngiti sa labi ko.

Sa sinabing iyon ni Critzel ay parang nabuhayan kaming lahat.

"'yan! That's the spirit!" Natatawang ani ni Asa, "that's my girl!"

"My girl ka diyan!" Angil ni Saac.

"Corny mo!" Inirapan siya ni Asa, "come to think of it, pwedeng ito na ang huli nating pagkakataon na makakapag-usap-usap tayo ng ganito." Natawa ako, kanina ay naiiinis siya sa pagiging pessimist ni Critzel pero tingnan mo ang mga sinasabi niya ngayon. "Mamimimiss ko kayo—"

"It's not the right time to say goodbye." Sabay-sabay kaming napalingon sa boses na pinanggalingan noon.

"Dad?"

"Hades?" Gumuhit ang isang ngisi sa labi ng god at gamit ang espadang hawak niya ay sinira niya ang kulungan na kinalalagyan namin.

"You still have a battle to finish, Heroes." Nakagat ko ang labi ko, agad akong tumayo at inalalayan din si Ciara na tumayo.
