Children Of The Abyss

68

3RD PERSON

Tulad ng sabi ni Lionel ay padating na ang mga Gigantes at Cyclops sa Dark Shadows Institute. Nalagpasan ito ng grupo nila Milo pero hindi naiwasan ni Lionel.

He was attacked outside the bridge noong hinatid si Sandro papalayo sa lugar na iyon. He fought not one but two giants kaya ganoon na lang ang pinsalang natamo.

Halos magpanic naman ang mga estudyanteng nakatira sa dormitoryo ng dark shadows institute.

"Code black, code black." anunsiyo ni Orphne sa intercom ng institusyon, "Seige Silvestre, Raven Avalon please proceed to my office immediately."

Code black, para sa sitwasyong hindi inaasahan. Sa digmaan o sa pagatakeng magaganap sa lugar.

Dahil dito ay palaging may katabing sandata ang mga natutulog. Sa mga kwarto nila nakatabi o di kaya'y malapit lang sa kanilang mga sarili.

Grunts and earth-deepen voices echo in the place. Para ding after shocks ang bawat yabag na binibitawan nila.

Alistair is sulking nang marinig ang alingawngaw sa intercom. He doesn't want to face any of his friends. Nagkagulo sila sa babaeng kamukha ng babaeng minahal at kaibigan nila.

Unfortunate events keep following them.

Pagkatapos halos mamatay sa pagbalik ay nagkagulo sila. Isama pa ang balitang pag-atake sa lugar na kinalakihan niya.

"Damn it! Kailan matatapos ito?!" he screams at the top of his lungs frustrated and angry.

"LARUAN LANG BA KAMING MGA DEMIGODS PARA SA INYO?!"

He pushed himself to gather his strength and his wants to protect this place.

Their safe haven. Their home.

Milo, Seige and Raven is seated in front of Orphne's table. Si Milo na ang naagprisinta para sa mga keepers. Seige and Raven had theit weapons by their side.

"The enemy will enter the premises within an hour. Prepare yourselves,and weapons." sabi ni Orphne, "Do your best to protect this place."

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you the prophecy." nakayukong banggit ni Milo.

Napatingin naman ang dalawa niyang kasama.

Napatayo si Seige sa narinig, "What?!"

"You really want us butchered in this place?!" kinwelyuhan siya ni Raven.

Napahilot naman aa sentido si Orphne. Hindi din kasi masagap ng reading waters ang pinaguusapan ng mga ito. The blocking barrier is still up on their dorm room.

"I will tell all of it." buntong hininga niya, "Tapusin muna natin ito. Please." pakiusap niya.

"Bakit hindi ngayon?" Seige releases a killing aura.

Humalukipkip si Raven, "Tell us kung hindi ay lalaban kami para sa wala."

He defeatedly told them about the war. The prophecy from trophonius months ago that they kept a secret. Their theories, and what will happen.
Bago sumangayon ang mga kasama, sa gagawin nila.

Sa kabilang banda ay inaayos ng mga nurse ang ililipat na katawan ni Rhenae. Colette wanted to fight with them and she is fully recovered. Gising na din si Ree na pinainom ng ambrosia.

"Paano siya?" nagaalala si Soleil sa kasama.

The nurse looks at them, "She will be with us."

"Wait-" pinigilan siya ni Lionel sa paghabol dito.

"Let's go." sabi ni Colette.

The cornucopia was taken by Hades. Nagkita sila ng anak habang kasama si Desmond. He looks pissed by what he heard has happened but nonetheless thankful dahil buhay ang anak niya.

He even gave something to him. A gift from Alastor.

The blood sword.

It was red when the sunlight hits the blade, dark as the night when not. It looks like a Japanese katana but broader and sharper.

"Assemble Abyssinians!"

Kaunting oras na lang ay parating na ang kalaban. Nakapila ang mga tatlong grupo sa harap ni Colette. Nasa tabi naman niya ang mga kasama. Habang naghahanda din ang mga guro.

"Today starts the warfare between Titans and Demigods!" she said, "Be as one this time and we will survive the reckoning havock!"

She stood tall and proud. A real Princess in a warrior's clothes.

"All hail Princess of the Underworld!"
they all chant. Thrice.

"Betray your kin I will kill you myself." she warns coldly.

Malapit na ang mga ungol sa kanila. Nagtutumbahan na din ang mga puno ng nakapaligid sa institute.

She looks ahead, ready to kill. Raising Shadow, she let out a battle cry...

"For the institute!"

Giants and Cyclops march towards them. Para silang mga langgam sa taas ng mga ito. They can't count it all. Alam nilang nasa likod ang iba.

"Elites! Scatter!" utos ni Seige, "Assist the watchers!"

Seige runs towards a cyclops dodging it's large hands. She uses it reach it's eye, stabbing it. The uses her ability to cause discord within him.

Alistair, Milo and Ree is facing two giants. Hindi nila pinansin ang alitan at inatake ang mga ito.

"I need direct contact to kill this one!" Ree grits her teeth. Black smoke covers her scythe.

"I'll distract it." Milo slashes it's foot making it cry.

Alistair focuses on the one in front of him. With the intention to kill he jumps mid-air to reach its body. He slashes the chest. Gamit ang espada ay naglambitin siya papunta sa balikat nito bago ito hinugot. Pinutol niya ang kamay nito. An outcry of pain was heard.

Colette summons skeleton soldiers to assist them. Outnumbered as they were she uses her ability to add more.

"Duck!" Cyrus releases an arrow.

Magkatalikod na sila ngayon. Habang pinoprotektahan ang isa't-isa. While she let Desmond assist his companions.

"Cyrus heal others. I'll handle this one." she commands.

"But-" hindi siya pinatapos ni Colette.

"NO BUTS OR I'LL KILL YOU!" saka tumakbo palayo sa kanya.

Salitan naman si Soleil at Lionel sa pag-atake. She uses her air arrows to inflict wounds. Lionel wields two swords with him.

"Soleil!" a giant throws her balance off.

Madami ng ang duguan at nakahandusay sa kanila. Some are critical na pilit pa din lumalaban. The skeleton soldiers are getting shorter in number.

Desmond's sword was darker than blood madami na ding sugat ang nakuha niya sa pakikipaglaban. Nakita niya ang isang Cyclops sa likod ni Colette. Pumagitna siya sa dalawa na ikinatalsik niya. Pareho silang nakahiga sa lupa.

Weak and weary.

Nabawasan ang lakas nila dahil sa paggamit ng ability sa pakikipaglaban.

"TANGINA NIYO!" Cyrus curses at them, "Fuck." he mumbles.

He was almost flattened on the ground kung hindi siya umiwas. He heard Apollo 's voice in his head.

Heal them son.

I WILL.

Hindi alintana ang iyak ng dalawang panig sa paghinga ni Cyrus. They need to be healed because they are outnumbered. He breathes deep concentrating on everyone.

Even if it will cause my life force.

He felt himself glowing with the surge of power he released the last of his energy passing it to the demigods around him.
