AIZEN.

I don't get it.

No one was commenting on Ice and Serena's relationship. Serena told as that Ice was her friend and Amphitrite's student. I am not convinced at all because if Ice was such an important person in the Undersea Kingdom, the mermen, and the mermaids should have bowed their heads when they saw her. And Sky should have known Ice all along. And even Ice appearance is very suspicious.

At hindi ko matanggap na parang nag-iisip ngayon si Phoenix. Nalilimutan ata niyang bobo siya.

Ice was out with Serena. And they are with the princess of the Amore Kingdom, who just arrived. Sayang lang dahil hindi namin maaaring makita ang prinsesa. Sky and the others were talking to Tyr, he was telling us how lucky we are to use the portal in Loveiridge Island.

"Son and daughter of Eros? I thought the only child he had was Pleasure." Tyr said while looking to me and Aizelle.

"Kapatid namin si Pleasure." I said.

"How?"

"It's a long story," Aizelle answered with a smile. She gave me a meaningful look and I nodded. It was the topic that people often asked that we always avoid answering.

Because the day will come... the miracle child will receive the spotlight.

"Let's go." Sky said.

We gave him a puzzled look but we immediately smirked at him. Ice was back with Serena, they are still talking and Serena was hugging her tightly while Ice was simply glaring at her.

In Serena's hand was the Golden Fire, the mystical fire that Hephaestus created with the sun as the reference. The reason why it is living in the Undersea Kingdom because Hephaestus gave it to Poseidon to protect it.

"See you soon." Serena smiled. She handed the Golde Fire to Sky. "Lyn, remember what I told you ha." she reminded Ice. Tyr said that he will teleport us back to the Mount Seraphyl to hand the Golden Fire to Queen Freya.

"May gusto ka ba kay Aizen?" Sky asked Serena.

She was caught off guard and shook her head, "I just knew him. After all, a friend of mine had a thing for him." she smiled.

Nang magpaalam na siya kay Ice ay pinatayo kami ni Tyr sa tapat ng throne room. I felt my body slowly being torn apart, though it wasn't hurting me. My head is beginning to get hazy.

"Very well," someone said. Hinawakan ko ang ulo ko. Hindi na ako sanay sa teleportation spell.

And when I look up, a gorgeous fairy was standing before us. I heaved a sigh nang maging maayos na ang aking paningin. A green fairy handed the hourglass in exchange for the golden fire.

"Hand that to Garet," Queen Freya said. She smiled amusedly and cast specks of gold dust in our direction. I groaned when my body cannot move, I was paralyzed. And based on my peripheral view my friends were facing the same handicap as mine. "Goodbye, Primus Section. Aside from you," the Queen said. She was directly looking to Ice.

The same vague feeling that I felt earlier happened again. And when I opened my eyes Master Garet was standing in our front.

"Master si Ice!" Sue shouted.

Master Garet gave us an uninterested look. Kinuha niya ang hourglass sa kamay ni Sky at muli kaming tingnan, "Secrets are meant to be revealed. Am I right, Skyler? Light?" he meaningfully said.

"But—"

Sky wasn't able to talk when Master Garet glared, "You know who she is yet you both kept it."

"We're sorry, Master. But leaving her in the Mount Seraphyl wouldn't help at all." Light reasoned. Holy Styx, I can't catch up.

"So, Ice is really the Cerulean Princess..." Sue uttered. Nilingon ko siya habang nanlalaki ang mga mata ko. It only means that Serena and Ice lied about the princess of the Amore Kingdom and Ice being Amphitrite's student. "I saw her Royal Gift when we engaged in a battle with reapers recently."

Sky bit his lip, he avoided the glances of everyone who was looking at him. He is still hiding something. Hindi nakatakas sa mga mata ko ang matalim na tingin ni Phoenix, "That hair... hindi lang naman siguro ako ang nakapansin hindi ba?"

Ash gray hair. So, that's it. I get it now.

"Sky, you're still hiding something. I can feel it." Aizelle said. Sky looked at us. He looks guilty. Nang tumingin siya kay Master Garet ay tinungo niya ang kaniyang ulo.

"I'm sorry... I don't want others to know about her identity especially that she is the demigod with the Crystal Blue Eyes." Sky said. My eyes widened.

"What? How—"

"I made her use the E.C.S." he interrupted my question. The E.C.S. that he bought in the black market back then.

"Oh my demigods, this is making my head explode," Aizelle said. She was covering her mouth in shock, "I get the reason why you hid it but... Holy Styx, Sky, that is the stupidest thing you've done."

I squinted my eyes. I get it that she's an important person. But the real question is what does the Queen Fairy want from Ice?

"She's a princess. But what is the reason for her to be left in the Mount Seraphyl?" I beamed at Master Garet. His languid expression didn't change, he stayed silent as he places the Golden Fire at the top of his table. "Primus, you can leave my office now."

"Ibabalik niyo si Ice sa Cerulean Kingdom? She said that she is being imprisoned in there..." Light uttered.

"Leave." Master Garet said with authority.

Wala kaming nagawa kung hindi ang umalis sa opisina niya. Maraming mga taong sa utak ko na hindi nabigyang sagot. Alam kong gano'n din ang mga kasama ko.

If she doesn't want in that Kingdom, it means that they are taking her freedom away.

"Anong gagawin natin? Paano si Ice?" Aizelle asked.

I might not as genius as Sky and Light but I can sense that Master Garet and Madam Stone will do everything to eliminate Ice out of the Demigods Academy.

I saw Phoenix biting his lower lip, "Guys, mauuna na ako."

"Where are you going?" Sue asked.

Phoenix avoided our glances, "I'm going to talk to someone." hindi pa man kami nakaiimik ay tumakbo na agad siya paalis.

The next day came, the deafening silence in our room was suffocating. None of us were looking so excited. The questions in my mind keep on coming— Queen Freya and Queen Savannah were friends, but if Queen Freya did something bad to Ice I know that a war between them will arise. Especially that Ice is still a princess that serves the Queen of all.

And the revelation in Ice's eyes will be a big explosion among the demigods.

"Good morning, Primus." my thought drifted away when our lecturer greeted us. It Ma'am Leyla, the sea nymph, she's the substitute teacher in our Sparring Class. She's the wife of Mr. Jackson, the satyr and our real lecturer in the said subject.

I awed when my eyes met a familiar face beside her. That turquoise hair. She smiled, "I'm Serena," she introduced.

Ma'am Leyla excused herself when Madam Stone called her using the telepathy. Serena was giving us a puzzled look as she roamed her sight around, "Where is Lyn?"

"We don't know either." Sky said.

"Holy Styx. I think it is my kasalanan."

"It is not your—"

"I made her gamit-gamit her Royal Gift to remove the barrier of the Golden Fire," Serena said.

"That is not the only reason. I think it is also because of her eyes." I said. She quizzically looked at me, "She has the crystal blue eyes." I added.

She suddenly gaped, "What the Styx."

Once again the deafening silence emerges. I winced when the speaker suddenly switches on.

"Aicelyn Hailey is expunged in Demigods Academy due to multiple causes such as destruction of cabin 2, violating the rule 36 in the penal code of D.A. stating that the use of E.C.S. is prohibited in our Academy. And lastly, putting all Primus Section in danger in going to the Undersea Kingdom without the permission of the head of the school. And a reminder to all the demigods that anyone who will utter the name of Aicelyn within the campus shall be punished. That's all."
