DEMIGODS: Within The Myths (New Version)

Chapter 43: Countdown (New Version)

SKYLER.

I stayed silent. Tita Freya and Light were talking when a timer appeared in my front, it was a mustard-colored holographic screen. I looked at the others and noticed that none of them were able to notice the timer.

The time wasn't starting.

00:60:00

"Sky, may problema ka ba?" Aizelle asked.

I pointed the holographic screen in front, "Nakikita niyo ba 'yan?"

"We can't," Master Garet stated.

I bit my lower lip and sighed, "May oras. An hour, I think it's connected to what's happening right now."

I stole a glance at Ice's direction, a timer was also placed on the top of her head. It was the same timer that was in front of me.

Master Garet tapped my shoulder and gestured the group to come closer, "Let's split into groups. Sue will with us, we will watch Aicelyn. Sky because you can see the timer, I think you're the one who can stop the curse using the 'time' and bring Light, Phoenix, and Aizelle with you."

"How about us?" Aizen asked.

Tito Glifford cleared his throat, "Riley will lead your group. The three of you will travel in the Underworld, stop the Reapers, and Titans."

00:59:50

I blinked. Time began to tick. "The time is ticking,"

00:59:40

"You should go," Artemis said. She suddenly snapped her fingers and a portal appeared in front. "Go, Skyler. And please acknowledge her." She whispered before pushing in the portal together with Aizelle and the others.

And with the speed of light, we arrived outside the premises of the Demigods Academy. "Venyr, let us in," I mumbled. The Sphinx roared. The golden gates of the Demigods Academy slowly opened, we were teleported in the Cerxes.

Nang lumingon ako sa mga kasama ko'y agad akong tumango at matuling na tumakbo papasok. Walang kahit isang estudyante ang nakikita ko ngayon sa lugar, siguro ay dahil oras ng klase ngayon at mahigpit ngayon ang mga centaurs kumpara noon.

I heard raspy howling above us together with a strong current of wind, the rain began to pour and the ragged clouds started to darken.

"Sky, those are Harpies." Phoenix pointed above. Harpies are known as the Hound of Zeus, they are mythical monsters that have the face of a female human and a body of a bird. Their cinnamon wings were gorgeous, unlike their faces.

They were flapping their wings that made us run away from them. My eyes widened when Aizelle tripped which made us stop. Ampota. Ang lampa talaga ni Aizelle. The Harpies made a strong flap, some of the feathers separated from their wings and it soared in the air.

I bit my lip as I made a massive shield made of water to slow down the feathers. They were soaring the air like a dart, a single feather weighs tons and it can pierce through right someone's body.

Aizelle summoned her Legendary Bow, she immediately counted the feathers coming in her way. A large magic circle appeared beneath, Aizelle releases the arrow and as it soars in the air, it multiplies.

When the feathers and the arrows met, the sky suddenly lit up, the shades of yellow seizes the whole sky like fireworks in the middle of the daylight, and specks of dust began to fall.

00:50:12

The time is ticking fast. Alam kong fifty minutes pa ang oras na meron upang iligtas ang isa pang founder ng Demigods Academy ngunit alam kong gagawa si Zeus nang paraan upang hindi namin maligtas si Alexis. He might be the Ruler of Olympus, some might think highly of him but this was his idea, his curse.
