DEMIGODS: Within The Myths (New Version)

Chapter 45: Underworld (New Version)

SKY.

"Ang talino ko talaga. Pota." I heard Phoenix whispered. I don't really know what to say, for seventeen years I was asking myself kung bakit kahit anino ng nanay ko ay hindi ko nasilayan. And now, I know why.

I am not angry or what. To be honest, I am proud of her, she saved her friends and sacrificed her life. I am not also regretting my childhood, the drunkard who took care of me treated me like I was his own.

And whenever I asked him about my mother, he was always telling me to forgive her and don't loathe her without asking what happened.

"Hi, my little Skyler." Tears began to flow on her cheeks. I shut my eyes preventing myself to look at her, I don't want to cry.

I felt a warm hug. It was her warm hug again. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I was late—"

"It's okay... At least you're back." I whispered. I returned her hug, she was caressing my hair.

"I'm sorry for not being present when you achieved everything you have now. I am sorry when I was not around when you lost your friend. I am sorry when I was not around —"

"It's fine. I'm fine."

And when we parted. Her eyes were swollen, "I am sorry that I wasn't the one who took care of you. But you know, I am always watching you."

I smiled. "Meeting my mother... meeting you was enough to fill the hole in my heart. I am thankful that my mother was one of the badass demigods during their time."

She kissed my forehead.

She was about to utter something when Aizelle mumbled Light's name.

We looked behind and we saw him massaging his temple, "Shit. My head is going to explode."

"Hala. Pota, seryoso? Shit! Lumayo ka sa amin—"

"Phoenix, ang OA mo. Hindi ka pa nasanay kay Light na isa pang OA sa pag gamit ng mga salita niya. Sinasabi niya lang na masakit ang ulo niya." Aizelle jeered.

Phoenix smirked, "Aba, hindi ko pansin 'yon. Pinapanood mo si Light 'no? Don't tell me pati ang paliligo—"

"Shut up, bobo."

"At least hindi ako manyak tulad mo."

"Hindi ako manyak. Pero totoong bobo ka." Aizelle jeered.

Light groaned and glared at the two, "Lalong sumasakit ang ulo dahil sa inyong dalawa."

My mother took a seat beside Light. Nanlaki pa ang mga mata ni Light habang nakatingin sa kanya, "You— you're—" my mother laughed because Light failed to finish his words.

"Let me help you to ease your pain." My mother said. And once again she swipes in the empty space, the amazing blessing appeared again.

Light gulped while mesmerizing my mother's blessing in front. "Now that the cursed is broken, you can now use this blessing."

On top of Light's head, a huge loading screen appeared. Light's eyes were sparkling as if he was seeing something that we can't see. "This is awesome."

"And only demigods like us can use this. Alam mo kung bakit?"

"Why?"

"Because we are both intelligent." My mother boastfully said.

Mr. Jackson acted like he was in a pain, he was squeezing his chest, "Aray. Natamaan ang hindi matalino." Aizelle and I cringed while watching him. Siniko niya pa si Phoenix, "Matamaan ka rin. Isa ka pang bobo."
