Chapter 48: Charybdis
Lucky's POV
As I was rubbing the stone, a sharp stone suddenly slipped from my palm, causing it to bleed.
I bit my lower lip because it hurt.
Ano ba yan Lucky? Hindi ka talaga nag-iingat.
“Lucky, what are you doing here?” Suddenly, someone asked from behind me, so I immediately faced it and saw George frowning as he looked at me.
“Shouldn't I be the one asking you that? What are you doing here?” His eyes narrowed as I hid my left palm behind me, which I was sure he saw.
“I'm a Prince and as a Prince, I have the right to go to any corner of this Kingdom.” My eyebrows met because of what he said.
Pinamukha pa niya sa akin na prinsipe talaga siya at mababa lang ako. Na may karapatan siya at ako wala, gano'n ba?
Akmang sisigawan ko na siya pero nagulat ako dahil biglang may lumiwanag sa likod ko, lilingon na sana ako nang biglang may malakas na pwersang humila sa akin.
“Lucky!” George shouted and quickly grabbed my hand but he only touched the tip of my finger because it was too late, I was pulled by a stone and its color changed to a black stone.
I could see the shock and concern in George's eyes before I could finally get inside the rock and when I entered, it was dark all around me, although there was also water, it was very dark indeed.
I swam slowly and tried to find a way out of here where I was.
Hanggang sa bigla akong napatigil sa paglangoy ng tumama ang ulo ko sa isang matigas na bagay, pakiramdam ko ay malaki ito, kaya parang nag bounce pa ako sa pagkakatama dito.
Naramdaman ko naman pagkaraan ng ilang sandali ang biglaang pag liwanag ng paligid, nanlaki ang mata ko at napalunok ako ng laway dahil sa nakita ko.
A big monster and not just any monster because a Charybdis,
Charybdis is a sea monster in Greek mythology. I learned this when I was in high school, so I can’t go wrong with what I saw.
I immediately walked away from it gaping because I couldn't believe that the sea monster was in front of me, just like a dream, I was suddenly terrified by when I realize that this monster was dangerous.
The sea monster Charybdis was believed to live under a small rock on one side of a narrow channel.
Charybdis aided her father Poseidon in his feud with her paternal uncle Zeus and, as such, helped him engulf lands and islands in water. Zeus, angry over the land she stole from him, captured and chained her to the sea-bed. Charybdis was then cursed by the god and transformed into a hideous bladder of a monster, with flippers for arms and legs, and an uncontrollable thirst for the sea. As such, she drank the water from the sea thrice a day to quench it, which created whirlpools.
I backed away when suddenly the place where I was, shaking, my forehead furrowed because my body was moving spontaneously.
Laking gulat ko nang biglang gumalaw ang kaliwang palad ko at kumapit sa katawan ng sea monster. Gano'n na lang ako nabigla nang biglang umilaw ang dugo ko sa kaliwang palad ko habang umilaw din si Charybdis.
Not only that, but I fell to the ground and blinked as I looked up at the monster as it moved slowly and I almost lost my breath when I saw it open its eyes, it roared loudly which caused my heart to beat suddenly.
Damn it! What did you do, Lucky? I woke up the monster, according to what I read in the book here in Legendarria World, this monster did a lot of damage, so help the strong and good witch to disfigure.
That spell would make the monster in front of me sleep underwater for the rest of her life but unexpectedly I was able to wake up the monster even if I say that I didn't mean the events, it's still all my fault.
Tiyak, kapag nakaalis ang halimaw sa lugar na ito, magdudulot ito ng malaking pinsala sa buong Atlantic Kingdom kaya kailangan kong gumawa ng paraan para hindi siya makaalis rito at kung kinakailangan ko siyang kalabanin ay gagawin ko kahit walang kasiguraduhan kung mapipigilan ko ba talaga ang isang tulad niya.
What am I against a monster in Greek mythology? I am only a human being even though I am a Celestial Guardian I'm still nothing compared to her, an immortal.
What did I do? I'm made a trouble again!
I won’t be called a troublemaker for nothing, it looks like the word troublemaker is already attached to my personality.
My eyes widened when I saw Charybdis swimming towards the one I had passed, so I didn't waste any more time and I immediately ran then blocked her as if my body was bigger than her, so at any time she could eat me whole if she wanted to.
Napatigil siya sa paglangoy nang makita niya ako, tapos parang nakatitig siya sa akin pero hindi ako sigurado lalo na at hindi ko masyadong makita ang mga mata niya.
“You can't get out of here.” I said sternly, her head dropped slightly as if what I said was fantastic and as if there was laughter.
I was surprised when she spoke, I didn't expect her to be able to speak but I think only I can understand then because she only roars when others can hear but for me, it is obvious then.
“Who are you to stop me?” I was devastated by her question. Who do I really think I am?
I looked up at her with courage. “I'm Lucky,” I sparingly answered then called Virgo and Capricorn in my mind, I thought they wouldn't answer me but it's a good thing they didn't let me down now.
“A Celestial Guardian.” Nakaramdam ako ng pang-aalipusta sa kanyang sinabi kaya tumaas ang isang kilay ko.
“Yes I am and I will stop you from doing bad things for the people I am responsible for.” I quickly backed away and jumped as it attacked me with her long tongue, when I landed on the rock with my feet wide, I immediately summoned the celestial sword but when I just touched it, I knew I couldn't use it properly here in the water.
I closed my eyes and jumped as her tongue attacked me again, when I jumped, I cut her tongue at the same time, so she screamed loudly because of the pain.
Nayanig ang buong lugar, kaya napaupo ako sa lupa at mabilis na tumayo at lumayo nang maramdaman kong may nahulog mula sa itaas ko at hindi ako nagkamali dahil sa malakas na pag yanig ng lugar, medyo malalaking bato ang nahuhulog, kaya ang ginawa ko ay tumakas sa kung saan, buti na lang mabilis ang bawat galaw ko dahil kung hindi ay baka durog na ang katawan ko ngayon.
“Shit! Looks like I pissed off Charybdis a lot.” I frowned as I said that, then as I was walking away I didn't notice the monster hitting me, so my body hit the very hard rock.
Biglang lumabo ang paningin ko at naramdaman ko ang pag tulo ng dugo sa ulo ko, pumikit ako't dinilat ko rin ang mga mata ko pero nahihilo talaga ako, kaya maya-maya ay mawawalan na ako ng malay.
And before I could faint, I saw Charybdis swimming away from this place.
No! No! Lucky It's really your fault, you bring chaos to everyone...
To be continued...
