DEMIGODS: Within The Myths (New Version)

Chapter 36: Aizen the Savior (New Version)

ICE.

It's been two days when I've arrived in the Cerulean Kingdom. I can't help but facepalm to Master Garet and the others, they really meant it by saying that they will travel by foot. Morons. It was just an hour's journey if they use their freaking Pegasi.

And two days ago, since my sister and I's confrontation.

"Why are you asking me? I don't know what happened to you that day. I am not the right person to ask, why don't you question the people who were with you when the accident occur?" She said. Not even a single emotion can be seen, I heaved a sigh. I wanted to know the truth.

I know that she can feel the frustration building up inside me. I'm angry. Hindi ko alam kung bakit pag galit ako tila iwas siya, parang iniiwasan niyang mas lalo pa akong magalit.

"I shall not speak, the oath is entangled with me forever." She sadly said. Oath? An oath is a solemn promise that once you defy, your life will perish. "I told Riley to watch over you. I heard from Jackson that they sent you to find the Everlasting Potion and the timing was great because Riley was already in that place. But he told me you weren't using your real face so he had a hard time finding you until he noticed that 'Reina Smith' resembles my explanation about you,"

"Wait, what do you think of me?"

"You barely speak. You give cold look at people and you're always serious. Mabilis ka rin mainis—"

"Okay, tama na." I stopped her. Ang daldal niya ngayon kainis. "Other demigods see you as the leader of the reapers, why are you okay with it?"

"Well, let them speak their tongue."

"It is Gaea. She's the leader of the reapers, not you."

"But you adapted the idea that it was me,"

I was left speechless, I avoided her gaze, "Because I loathed you. You never love me,"

I was caught off guard when she suddenly pulled me. I bite my tongue, trying to hold the tears that wanted to leave my eyes but when she caressed my hair it escaped. I can feel the warm salty liquid sliding down my cheek. "I hate you, I hate you." even with my lips trembling I was able to utter those words.

Indeed, I hate her.

She never treated me as her sister nor showed her she loves me.

"You don't how much I love you. How much we all loved you," When we parted she puffed my cheeks and softly smiled, "Time will come that I will disappear. Think of it as my gift, I gave you my life to sign that oath. And those who were fond of you also signed it."

"What are you saying?"

"Do you think you really are the holder of the Great Prophecy?" She asked. I was about to speak when she blinks multiple times, her emerald eyes turned into crystal blue eyes, just like mine. "Hailey, why do you think we have the same eyes?"

"I... don't know."

"Soon, you'll know why my eyes are like this but you..."

"How about mine?"

"You are a cursed child,"

I felt a pain on my head. Masamang tingin naman ang binigay ko kay Riley. I was sitting on my bed while he was standing in front, he just slapped my forehead for no reason.
