DEMIGODS: Within The Myths (New Version)

Chapter 7: The Great Prophecy (New Version)

SKYLER.

My thoughts about Queen Freya and Master Garet's conversation drifted away when arrived at the entrance of the fountain.

Ice was staring at the golden door with the carvings of the sun. She suddenly looked at me. Potangina. Ang cute. She pointed the door and gave a puzzled look.

"What?" I asked. She didn't reply instead she looks at the door once again, "You want me to come inside?" I asked. She nodded.

And because I am a gentleman I opened the door for her. I was captivated by her look when she gaped, she awed while looking at the Fountain of Prophecy.

"Amazing, right?" I asked.

"It's beautiful." She said. Hindi ko siya maintindihan, most of the time she's distancing herself and sometimes it's like she's letting us see the real her.

Ice was still looking at the fountain. The Fountain of Prophecy is in between the two stairs made from glass. When Ice started to walk, she awed more. Every step she takes the prints that she was making were illuminating. In the middle was the Fountain of Prophecy, the waters were flowing upward instead of pouring down. When Ice sat in the middle of the fountain, the water suddenly encircled to Ice and was slowly coating her.

The colorless water started to radiate different colors until it becomes blue. Her prophecy is being foretold.

I wryly smiled. Naalala ko na naman ang nakakatakot na boses na nagbibigay ng propesiya. Kung anong ginanda ng lugar na ito ay 'yon naman ang kinapangit ng boses sa loob ng fountain.

Aicelyn Hailey Stone, I think I heard her name somewhere. Hindi ko lang talaga matandaan kung saan and even her face look familiar. I quizzically looked at the fountain, it was longer than the usual. Mabilis lamang ang proseso nang pagpapayahag ng propesiya.

When the fountain opens, Ice was down on her knees. Mabilis akong tumakbo sa pwesto niya.

Nanlalambot siya. Lumuhod ako sa harap niya at hinawakan mukha niya. I was analyzing her while she was pursing her lips and looking so helpless. Her eyes were close.

"Hey..." I called. She was gasping for air as if it was lacking inside her body."Are you alright?"

"What do you think?" She weakly uttered. When she opened her eyes I was caught off-guard. She was the holder of the Great Prophecy, the demigod with the tantalizing crystal blue eyes.

"Holy Styx..." I mumbled.

Her eyes were glimmering when she met mine. It's beautiful. "Your eyes..." I whispered. Her mind was sharp enough to know what I'm telling. She knows the Great Prophecy.

"Am I in trouble?" she asked.

"No. I'll keep you safe."

She suddenly avoided my gaze, "I'm trouble—"

"Don't let a simple prophecy block your visions of the future. Create your own and fulfill it, Ice."

My eyes widened when she lost consciousness and bumped into my chest. I heaved a sigh. I carried her a bridal way.

I was languidly walking while some eyes were watching the unconscious girl that I'm carrying. Her ash gray hair was covering her face.

Gusto ko talagang tusukin ang mga mata ng mga nakamasid sa amin ngayon. Why are they making a big fuss about us like we are some sort of holy creatures?

I brooded when I saw Light smirking in front. He was teasing me.

"Is that Ice?"

"You think?" I beamed.
