DEMIGODS: Within The Myths (New Version)

Chapter 49: Ang Baklang Dyos (New Version)

AIZELLE.

Have you ever met a god who's using a woman just hide his real nature? If not then let me show you someone like that.

Ang baklang dyos. Ang baklang si Eros.

I was languidly looking at him, we just arrived in Loveiridge Island. The sand still possesses the roses hue yet the view that I'm seeing right now is way different from my first time. The sky was covered with ragged midnight clouds and stars that were shining. The stars possess the same color as the sand, it is peculiar.

And a stupid thought popped inside my mind.

Siya ang nag-iisang baklang dyos, mahilig sa kulay rosas at ginagamit si Psyche upang takpan ang tunay niyang pagkatao.

Eros began to hum, I was about to look behind when I felt the sudden change in the air. My rosy eyes glimmer as I saw the flying arrows soaring the air, the dim surrounding was a major handicap, it was preventing me to see my escape route.

And when the moon shines at the sea, it sparkled like a diamond and made me see a glimpse of the island's facade.

I galloped to the nearest rock and summoned my legendary bow.

"Rule #1 — Be alert. You wouldn't when or where you will be attacked by your enemies."

Another wave of arrows plummet, I was about to jump when my foot suddenly stumbled in the rock. Kusang nanlaki ang mga mata nang mahulog ako at napagulong sa buhangin, isang malutong na mura ang kumawala sa 'king bibig nang narinig ko ang pagtawa ni Eros sa aking harapan.

An arrow grazes into my skin coming from my back. Mabilis akong bumangon at tinutok ang bow ko sa mga parating pa na atake ni Eros. I can feel the pang scorching through my body, it was only caused by a small yet it was wrecking my whole system.

Bobo talaga 'tong bading na 'to.

"Rule #2 — Not because your opponent is standing in your front it doesn't mean that you wouldn't be stabbed in your back."

I heaved a sigh. Napataas ang kilay ko nang makita ko ang isang malaking tipak na bato na hindi kalayuan sa pwesto niya. I smirked and fired my arrows to the sand under his feet making the sand around him explode.

As I reach the top of the rock, I jumped and fired my arrows once again. Sinipa ko ang kinatatayuan niya kanina ngunit tanging buhangin lamang ang nasipa ko.

I heard a clap coming from my back and when the smoke disappeared, it revealed Eros' annoying face. "Very good. You used your tiny brain,"

"Bakla, bakla."

"Rule #3 — Use your brain. Planning about your attacks, the possibilities of your opponents' attack, and your defense will lead you to victory."

Eros suddenly sat on the shore and looked at the moon. "I badly want to ask you something..." I mumbled. Hindi man lamang niya ako tinapunan nang tingin imbes ay nilaro niya ang mga buhangin na tila isang bata.

"Hmm?"

"Bakit ang unfair?"

He suddenly tapped the empty seat on his side. Napabuntong hininga ako pagkaupo ko sa tabi niya. "It is not unfair... You're the miracle child, you are bound to be with a King Vessel."

"It is unfair, Eros. I am the symbol of love yet I can't feel nor experience it."

He brushes my hair until I noticed something odd. I saw something glimmering at the horizon and was quickly coming to our direction. Mabilis ko siyang tinulak palayo at tumayo sa aking pwesto, lumayo ako sa kanya habang masamang tingin ang pinupukol ko sa kanya.
