Chapter 20: Bitter Request (New Version)
ICE.
"Thank you for listening, Reina."
She was done fixing herself though her eyes still look puffy. Sue and I look at the door when it opens—Aizelle befuddled while looking at us. She was about to say something but she just kept it to herself and went upstairs.
Ay, shit! May klase pa ako!
"Hey, Sue. I need to go."
"May klase ka pa." Tita Freya stated. She was waiting for me in front of the portal. "So, how was it?"
"Well, Celine destroyed some parts of the Demigods Academy," I shrugged.
She gave a puzzled look, "How are you two became cousins?"
"My father and his father were siblings," I stated.
"Oh, I almost forgot that Allen is your father," She said. I gave her a curious looked, "You must be close to him, you're even calling him with his nickname." I said.
"Well. Allen is a king vessel and the former king of the Cerulean Kingdom, a close friend of Primus. Then Celine's father must be Axel."
"Yeah," I mumbled.
"You were blood-related, yet she's like that." Tita Freya mumbled.
I remained silent. Based on some paintings in the Cerulean Kingdom, Celine and I were close back then, but seven years ago I met a serious accident that even now I can't remember a single thing that happened. Though, I keep on mumbling the word 'Sabrina' even though I don't know her.
And Celine began to ruin me in my father's eyes. Siguro ay may nagawa akong kasalanan sa kanya bago ako maaksidente. "Kailan training ko?" I asked. The Primus Section was training hard while I'm sitting pretty here.
"Chill. Kakabigay mo lang ng message kanina," she said, "Did you notice something in the Shier University?"
"Well, whenever I search for their site in the browser the word error is the only thing that pops," I stated. She smiled.
"Because you're a demigod, the illusion doesn't work at you."
"What?"
"Shier University is the school made by the Titans, though most of the students were actually humans. And some were not." She stated. I crooked.
"And you didn't tell me?" I asked.
She playfully shrugged, "I thought you were intelligent enough to notice it,"
"So, what is my real mission?" I asked.
"Find the Everlasting Potion in the Shier University," She grimaced. "The Olympians need to hide it, the Titans were plotting something bad again,"
"I thought it was thrown—"
"It was thrown in the Mortal World," Tita Freya interrupted.
The Everlasting Potion, created by Hecate and Circe, after they made the Everlasting Potion they soon realized the danger it possesses. It can grant immortality, it can give life to someone who died and make something vanish completely.
"Garet and the others think that... They wanted Kronos back," She stated.
But I'm thinking about another thing. Other than Kronos' resurrection.
I was watching Kyle and Aisone argue about something in front. I heaved a sigh and shift my glance to the window.
Everlasting Potion... What does it look like?
"Hey, Earth to Reina." I flinched when Kyle's face was an inch away from me. "Fuck!" I beamed.
"Oh, she's back." Aisone joked.
"Bwisit," I leered to Kyle. He laughed and I made my way outside. Naiingayan ako kaya't dumiretso ako sa library. Tahimik dito at walang masyadong tao.
I went to the corner and rested my head in my palm. The long table near me was occupied with the pieces of equipment from the Science Laboratory. The school festival is near and a certain section will use the Science Laboratory for there booth.
Nang kumuha ako ng libro para pang display ay bumalik ako sa pwesto ko. My eyes landed at the window and saw Rave sitting under the tree. Nagulat pa ako dahil lumingon siya sa pwesto ko habang nakakunot ang noo, agad din niyang inalis ang paningin sa 'kin at pumikit.
"You know that you shouldn't trust the people in this place, right?" I tilted my head and saw a woman seating in front. She was smiling and her pale red eyes were sparkling.
"Hestia," I mumbled.
"Well," she mumbled, "Aphrodite is really fond of you,"
"She is?"
"Yes, she said that I should help you." She said. I gave her a befuddled look. "The Everlasting Potion takes up space and has mass,"
"That's the meaning of the matter," I languidly said.
"But there are states of matter!"
"It has four," I said.
"Plasma, liquid, gases— What is the last one?"
"Solid, stupid." I beamed.
She softly laughed, "It is in a solid-state, but the Titans think that it is in liquid."
"How can I know if its the Everlasting Potion?"
"It has a white gem on it."
She was grinning at me, she's mocking me. She snapped and her fingers and disappeared into thin air. She even left a fire like effects. And when I looked down at the table I saw a piece of paper and a small container.
I brood. Lagi na lang talaga may kapalit.
"You have to find a girl named Rhealia for me, good luck. I know you already know where to find her. I want you to give these broken pearls to her."
I wished that Aphrodite will smack her sister's face for ordering me around. I bitterly smiled when I saw broken pearls inside, they are cut in halves. I heaved a sigh when I put them back in the container and hid in my pocket.
"What's with the face, Reina?" I flinched. Napatayo ako bigla dahilan para mapamali ang tapak ko at kamuntikan na rin akong madulas kung hindi ako nahawakan sa braso ko.
"Watch your steps," Rave said and then he let go of my arm. Masamang tingin naman ang binigay ko kay Kyle dahil sa panggugulat niya.
"It's your fault, you dummy." I pointed my fingers to Kyle. He laughed and sticks his tongue out, "It's not my fault that you are spacing out." Kyle asked.
"Stop being so childish. Let's go." Rave said. Nauna siyang lumabas sa amin ni Kyle.
"Feeling hindi childish," Kyle whispered and shrugged, "He's a fan of a certain children's show,"
Rave is really mysterious.
