DEMIGODS: Within The Myths (New Version)

Chapter 14: Theory Gone Right (New Version)

LIGHT.

As the sun decided to sleep, the moon began to wake up. I gently closed my eyes, the waves of laughter of my friends, and the sound of the violent waves crashing my feet were in harmony. I pursed my lips when I've remembered Aizelle. What the hell did I do to her? Hindi ba't tinulungan ko lang siya kanina?

I heard Sue saying about preparing a snack for us. I remained silent and calm with my eyes close. Aicelyn Hailey Lean, I have theories about her and Sky is making me proof all of that. Sky is really intelligent, I feel envious of him. I am Athena's son but Poseidon's son was way more intelligent than me. Ilang taon ko na tinatanong sa sarili ko—Bakit mas matalino sa 'kin si Sky? Why is he always ahead of me?

Though I never really felt any resentment towards him.

"Aizelle is missing." Sue mumbled. We all nodded when we exchanged glances.

Nang maghiwahiwalay kami ay tumungo ako sa direksyon ng kagubatan. "GET OFF ME YOU FREAKIN' SLIME MONSTER!" I heard a voice not faraway from my place. It was Aizelle.

"Shit!"

I run fast as I can towards her direction. And I felt bad to magical plants for murdering them. "Aizelle!" She's surrounded and hugged by the green slime monsters. It looks damn erotic. Her clothes were beginning to dissolve because of the acidic particles of the slime.

Aizelle was also twitching in pain. The slime monsters were absorbing her magical energy.

She looks helpless."Earth Shaker." I chanted. The ground began to shake, the slimes started to merge and slowly let go of the helpless Aizelle.

They crawled to my direction and I lift Aizelle's ground to protect her. I smirked. I galloped to the trees and when I was standing in a strong branch, I decided to trap them inside a fire vortex. After all, fire is their weakness.

After they dissolved. I immediately went to Aizelle's direction and plummet the ground. I lift her head and gently held her cheek, "Oy, kulit." most of her magical energy is absorbed.

I squinted my eyes when I noticed that she was holding something.

A bow and arrow, and a sword.

Nang marinig kong may tao na sa likod ko ay binuhat ko si Aizelle at hinarap ang mga feeling pulis kong mga kasama. "Get the bow and arrow, and the sword," I said to Aizen.

Aizelle was resting inside the tent while we are discussing while eating our snacks. The bonfire came to light the bluish charcoal sky, to warm air that was more used to the breeze of the night.

"Aizen, stop looking so grumpy. Magiging ayos din si Aizelle—" Sue was interrupted when Aizen scowled at her and said, "Hindi naman 'yon ang iniisip ko. Naiinis ako. Bakit may espada siya? Hindi naman siya marunong mag-washing washing."

Washing-washing?

"Dude, what?" Sky asked.

"He means, hindi marunong gumamit ng espada si Aizelle." Phoenix explained. Ah, gets. Washing-washing is the sound of the sword. "But really? Saan kaya nakuha ni Aizelle 'yon?"

"Do you think we know?" I beamed. "Let's rest." I said and they nodded.

The sun shimmers on the horizon. The golden rays filled the sky. I squinted one of my eyes when the golden hues passed through my fingers. Everyone is up and eating while I was enjoying the bloom of the sun.
