The Prophecy of Fates

CHAPTER XVIII: Ο γιος του Δία

018- THE SON OF ZEUS

The moment that I saw Megara's body vanish before my eyes due to my flames was the time that I was able to finally regain my senses. All of my emotions flooded right back inside of me as if filling an empty glass jar with water.

"Hindi ko sinasadya.", my voice didn't tremble, but I knew deep inside that I was scared. I stared at the other semideuses in fear pero tanging nanggagalaiting mga sigaw lang ang natanggap ko mula sa kanilang lahat. I killed her. Megara, I---

"Witch! Walanghiya ka! Murderer! You're evil! Lumayas ka sa academy!", I heard one of them shouted as they started throwing things at me. Marami ang umiiyak sa kanila dahil sa nasaksihan.

I suddenly remembered the arrows that were still pierced into my upper abdomen and thighs which made me whimper upon realizing how ugly it was to look at. Wala sa sarili ko namang sunod-sunod na binunot ang mga ito mula sa pagkakatusok sa balat ko as I gasped for breath each time I felt the sudden sting of pain coming from every single one of it, but like the usual, there was still no trace of blood. I threw the arrows on the floor. My hands were trembling.

"I killed her. I killed her.", I repeatedly whispered to myself like a madman habang nakatulala. What have I done?

Nang nilingon ko ang gawi nina Prim kasama ang ibang class Primarius ay laking-pagtataka ko nang hindi manlang sila nakapagsalita as they only stared at me with wide eyes and shocked expressions. I can even strongly sense the hint of fear and confusion from them.

At ang mas ikinanlumo ko pa ay maging sina Sev ay ganun din ang reaksyon habang nakatitig sakin. Biglang kumirot ang puso ko sa nasaksihan. No. Please. Hindi ko sinasadya---

"You evil spawn! How could you? Witch! Murderer! Ikaw yung dapat namatay eh!", isa sa mga estudyante galing sa class Medialis ang sumigaw nun sakin habang si Sir Pyro naman ay wala manlang ginawa para pigilan sila as he only gazed at me in pure pity.

I wanted to cry. I wanted to cry so badly pero walang lumalabas na luha mula sa mata ko. I can't even feel a hint of guilt for killing her. Like my apology was all just empty words.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean it. Hindi ko sinasadya. Please.", halos magmakaawa ako sa harapan ng lahat para itigil ang ginagawa nila but I can only see hatred and disgust from their expressions.

"Sorry? Mababalik ba ng sorry mo ang buhay ni Megara? Can you bring her back to life? You evil witch! Mamamatay-tao ka! You deserve to rot in the pits of Tartarus! Hindi ka namin kailangan dito!", again, another semideus yelled like she wanted to slit my throat. Yander was right.

Yander was right. Bakit ba naisip ko pa ang posibilidad na may makakatanggap pa sakin once I expose the darkness within me? I'm so naive. Stupid, Kria.

It wasn't long before a deafening silence enveloped the whole place as a blasting sound of a terrifying thunderclap echoed throughout the entire Weaponry kasabay nang paglingon nilang lahat sa gawi ng class Primarius.

There, I saw Theo, already standing in the battleground as he was only wearing a blank expression across his face. His electrically blue eyes lingered on me na parang isang maling galaw ko lang ay kayang-kaya niya na akong patayin nang walang pag-aalinlangan. His right arm crackled with high-voltage electricity as he slowly walked towards me.

"Theoddeus! It's not her fault! Wag mo siyang saktan!", my senses were too numb right at this very moment but I could've sworn na kay Sev nanggaling ang boses na yun. But Theo didn't listen to him and instead, patuloy lang itong naglakad palapit sakin as the crowd fell silent, probably waiting for his next move. Every step he took is getting heavier by the second.
