PHOENIX.
"Anong tipo mo sa babae?" Apollo asked. I groaned, he keeps on repeating that stupid question of his. "Or maybe I'm just too hot for you to handle?" Eww. Nasaan ang connect?
The moment we arrived here, he keeps on pestering me to answer all his goddamn questions hindi siya makaramdam na hindi ko siya gustong kausap. "Bakit hindi mo ako kinakausap? Hindi na ba ako mahal ng aking anak—"
"Shut up," I glared at him. I stood on the beach chair. Mabilis ko siyang tinalikuran at pumasok sa nag-iisang bahay rito. I felt the cold breeze inside the house, it was soothing and relaxing unlike outside.
The Sahara Desert was our training ground that even Master Garet's assumption wouldn't happen, not even a single woman would volunteer to join us.
"Phoenix Gregory Stanfield! At bakit ka nag-wawalk out?" He hissed. I rolled my eyes and looked behind.
"I walk in," I corrected. Nakakaproud naman self, ang talino ko talaga.
"Do you like someone? Zeus' daughter, perhaps?" He asked. His tone was way different from his playful one.
I quizzically looked at him, "Bakit ba kanina mo pang inuungkat ang taong gusto ko?" I asked.
"You are my son, normal lang na maging curious ako sa'yo especially that Paxon will get married soon,"
Gulat akong napatingin sa kanya, "Really? Invited ba ako?"
"Of course, but you can't bring any guest because it is only exclusive for royalties."
I smiled. Paxon finally found the woman he loves, huh? I looked at Apollo, kahit naman marami siyang babae ay hinahayaan niya kaming mamili nang matitipuhan namin.
He's not someone who meddles with someone's love story.
"How about Philomena? Is she well?"
"You'll see her in the war,"
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Ang bobo naman. Ibig sabihin ay kasali siya sa magaganap na war—"
I glared at him, "Gets ko. She's our little princess, don't you dare let her join the war. I don't want something bad to happen to my little princess,"
"Okay, I will tell it to Savannah." He softly said. I heaved a sigh. Hindi ako papayag na may mangyari sa nag-iisang babae sa pamilya namin. "Sol talked to you, right?" He asked.
"Yes, when I was hypnotized in my dream," I answered.
"Did you saw her?"
I bitterly smiled and took a sit on the couch as I shut my eyes, "Yes, she is still as beautiful as ever." And as I opened my eyes, I released faint magic on my palm, "She was enchanting, yet a hideous being was standing before her."
I clench my fist as I remembered that worst day of my life. "I just wished that I was stronger—"
"Do you know why you received the blessing of the sun instead of Paxon?" He asked. I looked at him curiously as he sits across mine. "It was Sol who chose you, she knows that you can wield the blessing of the sun more than anyone."
"It was the sun, huh?"
Nagulat na lamang ako nang bigla niyang hampasin ang ulo ko, "You are wielding the sun, not fire. You are my son, not Hephaestus'."
