DEMIGODS: Within The Myths (New Version)

Chapter 44: Sky (New Version)

SERENA.

So, we are bumalik sa Shier University. Riley said that he accidentally heard the lagusan towards the Underworld. It was during his undercover mission, he was nakikinig sa conversation ng other demigods. He said that he was nakatambay on a puno na minagic niya when suddenly the walls crumble and then they are nahulog to the ground. And then when the Reapers make pasok to the passage, the walls are bumalik sa dati nitong form.

"We're here," Riley announced.

We are at the pinakalikod ng Shier University. It is just puro pader and even trees are nowhere to found. I am nagtatakhang tumingin kay Riley because he is just nakatanga and he was not binubuksan the daan papunta sa Underworld.

This place was eerie. It is not kagaya ng ibang place rito, the magic energy here is umaapaw unlike in other lugar that the magic energy is faint lang. "This place is binibigyang ako ng creeps," I mumbled.

Riley smirked which made me irap at him. He is nakakasura. "Stop teasing her, Riley." Aizen said.

Aizen pulled me to his lugar. Riley ngisi to me and then he talikod to us. "This isn't a place for flirting." He mumbled.

It was my turn to ngisi at him. He was still galit to Aizen because Aizen was inaagaw Ice to them. He looked behind and saw my ngisi, "Where is the entrance ba?" I asked.

He nguso naman to the pader with ibang color. "Are we going to tagos d'yan?" I heard Aizen laughed because of my tanong.

"A magic word?" Aizen smiled. He is inaasar me. Does he think I'm bobo like Phoenix? I am sumilay to Riley, he was serious na tumango to Aizen. So, it was really tama. But what is the magic na salita?

Open sesame?

Ah, Hades is a badass, I know that he is not that baduy to use that as the magic na salita.

"Open sesame," Riley mumbled. The wall suddenly guho and I am napangiwi. HADES IS BADUY!

Both Riley and Aizen walked their way papunta sa loob while I am dahan-dahan na nag-walk because it is madilim sa loob. And when I am nakapasok na the wall came back to its original shape, the madilim na lugar was suddenly lit up by blue torches that were nakakabit sa mga walls. Some torches began to detach from the pader and they started dancing around us, they are iniilawan yung ground that we are tinatapakan.

The hole is wala na so I can no longer takbo outside. "You're not all dead." I blinked multiple times. I roamed around and saw nothing, I am scared as hell that even my mind was now thinking straight.

I gulped. A skeleton was slowly standing. Riley and Aizen were still walking in front while I was left here. He has an afro hair, sunken pit eyes and his bone was whiter than milk. His face was facing Aizen and Riley but his body was facing me and it made me yelped when he detached his head instead of turning around and faced me.

"Guys!" I shouted.

My focus was now on the skeleton that was wearing a suit with a bow along with black shoes. How can be a skeleton so formal? "Serena, what happened— Holy Styx, what is that?"

Aizen and Riley began to inspect the skeleton samantalang ako ay nagtatakha pa rin kung bakit nakakabit pa rin sa bungo niya ang afro niyang buhok.

I raised one of my brows when he suddenly shined his shoes. Hindi ko rin alam kung saan niya nakuha 'yung bouquet ng mga rosas. His sunken pit eyes were locked to mine.

I gulped.

The skeleton suddenly cleared his throat and made his way in front of me. Napangiwi ako nang bigla na lamang siya lumuhod at inabot sa 'kin ang bouquet, "It is rare to see a beautiful lady in flesh."
