DEMIGODS: The Rule Breakers

Chapter 3: Alyssa

Chapter 3: Alyssa

The brilliance of the moon was pointing us the path that we should take though the thick ancient trees in the forest were narrowing our it. The three of us were cautious about our surroundings, looking around and watching every rustle from the leaves.

Aside from our noisy breaths, there is nothing more to be heard from the forest. Savannah caught my attention when she pulled her robe downward, and even Glifford noticed it.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"I'm tired. I'm sorry." She uttered. I pulled her robe upward and saw the exhaustion on her eyes, its been hours since she cast her spell to us.

Ang pagkukubli sa aming itsura ay isang madaling kapangyarihan lamang sa kanya, ngunit isang buong araw nang naka-activate ito. Tiyak akong malaki na rin ang magic energy na nawawala sa kaniyang katawan.

"We should rest," Glifford stated. I was about to get the cube, the invisible secret base when Savannah stopped me. I quizzically looked at her.

"Malapit na tayo sa walls. Kaya ko pang magtiis." She pleaded. I heaved a sigh, nakatalikod akong umupo sa kaniyang harapan.

"Sakay," I said. I waited for minutes before she finally rides behind my back. We continued our journey with Glifford leading our way. Yet, we halted when he heard a peculiar voice, it was the sound of a woman. A melodious voice that was making the trees, flowers, and even the sky dances at her song.

"Garet..." Savannah whispered. Glifford looked at us and gestured to hid behind the truck of an ancient tree, not from afar we saw something majestic.

Sa mga librong nabasa ko, alam kong nag-eexist sila ngunit hindi ko inaasahan na makakakita ako sa totoong buhay. Mailap sila sa mga mamamayan ng Divine Continent.

"Beautiful," Savannah whispered while looking above.

A woman with a golden silky long hair was sitting on the branch of a tree near us. She was brushing the hair of a baby sphinx with her lilac eyes looking at it with so much admiration while the sphinx was simply enjoying her soothing caress. The flickery sparkling specks of dust were falling behind her, the golden wings attach from her back was shining from the moon's brilliance.

She was different from the illustration from the books. She's not a green fairy nor a red fairy. And she's not also repeating her words based on her singing voice.

Napakagat ako sa 'king labi nang mapatapak ako sa isang tuyong dahon dahilan upang tumigil ang fairy sa pagkanta, gulat niyang ginala ang kaniyang mga mata at mabilis kaming tumago nina Glifford.

At nang marinig namin ang malakas na pagaspas ng pakpak ay pareparehas kaming napabuntong hininga. We looked back but the only thing we saw was the sphinx alone, the peculiar fairy was already gone.

"I totally forgot that besides this path is the Mt. Seraphyl," Savannah uttered.

"But what's with that fairy?" I asked. Both of them shrugged, and now I'm curious about that fairy's identity.

Ang saya talaga maging suwail na anak kung saan-saan kami napupunta at ang dami rin na nakikitang ibang bagay. Sorry, Hephaustus. Bawi po ako next time.

"We are at the end of the forest," Glifford stated. We all pulled removed our robes which were hiding our fake face, sinalubong kami ng isang malaking pader sa aming paglabas sa madilim na kagubatan.

We awed. The sacred walls were really amazing, just by looking at its facade, I can really tell that it was made for decades to finish this masterpiece. We walked our way towards the front gate of the wall, a huge welcome signboard was attached above.
