Chapter 52: Owl, Dolphin and the Eagle (New Version)
LIGHT.
I can't stop smiling while looking at my mother. She was showing me how her Intelectix works and it is awesome just like Ate Alexis' Intelectix.
It's been a week since we started this training of mine yet my thirst for knowledge is still overpowering me. Maybe it is the nature of her children to seek knowledge.
I can't help but to wryly smile while remembering the stupid question lurking inside my mind back then, I was questioning myself kung bakit mas matalino sa 'kin si Sky ngunit nang makilala ko kung sino ang nanay niya, ang tanong ko ay nabigyan ng kasagutan.
He has the blood of the most intelligent demigod running in his veins. And his mother has an unbelievable I.Q. of 321, not even Marilyn vos Savant could surpass it.
"Do you want to sleep?" Athena asked. I heaved a sigh and rested my back on the tree, she sat beside me when I shut my eyes.
"Do you know where he is?" I asked.
The deafening silence along with the cold breeze of the wind made me opened my eyes. Does she even know that I'm longing for my father? "Aicelyn saw him,"
"What do you mean?" I quizzically asked.
"Dark acted as the Dean of Shier University," she answered. I feel envious, I wished I saw him when we went to that school. "But you know that he is no longer your father, Light."
"I know."
"Within your father was Kronos,"
I clench my fist if ever we met on the battlefield, I will never be able to harm him. "Defeating Kronos can bring your father back,"
"Who will defeat him?"
"Who knows," She mumbled. My hands were trembling, I shut my eyes and clasped my hands to calm myself down.
Dark Kagami was one of the founders of Demigods Academy, he was Hades' son, the dark horse of the Rule Breakers.
I don't know what happened to him seventeen years ago, but he keeps on telling me that he will need to turn his back against the Olympians for the comrades that he loves.
And that made me remember what Master Garet's said back then, the Rule Breakers made huge sacrifices just to achieve their dreams.
"Do you want to learn your Secret Art?"
SKY.
I was resting my back at an old Greek architecture building, in front of me was a beautiful city, the streets and the buildings were still filled with puddles of water as it symbolizes that the city just upsurges from the sea. The golden rays of the sun were shining the bronze statues of the gods, yet my father's statue caught my attention, his statue wasn't built from bronze nor silver instead it was made from gold and his statue was the only one with a weapon.
He has trident on his statue.
I shut my eyes. I don't know where Poseidon is, bigla na lamang nasulpot 'yon na parang kabuti kapag nais kong magpahinga. Being with him reminded of Master Garet's odd behavior whenever he is present or he is the topic— In our first meeting, pinahamak niya ako sa mga fury nang sabihin at banggitin niya kung sino ang godly parent ko at pinabayaan niya rin ako dahil sinabi niyang isang blacksmith lamang siya when in fact he was an amazing and a powerful demigod.
Well, I don't know their story but I'm sure that Poseidon meddles with my mother and Master Garet's love story.
I let out a big sigh. I slowly opened my eyes, the puddle of water was slowly gathering at the top of my palm.
In this war, blood will be all over the place.
Night. I can no longer look at him as my classmate, as my partner, and as my best friend. He didn't lose me when he turned his back against the Olympians, he didn't lose me when we fought in the Mortal World. I have faith in him, I know that he will come back to his home, to the Primus.
And yet, he lost me when he tortured my sister.
What he did was unforgivable. And now, my sister, Serena, is in a severe condition.
"Gaano na ba kalalim ang nalalangoy mo?" Poseidon asked. Sabi ko na nga ba, susulpot ang isang 'to. "Ang lalim e,"
I stayed quiet. "Sky, my son, what are you thinking?" he asked.
"Random thoughts,"
He cleared his throat, I released the water on the top of my palm in the nearest building, "Are you strong, Sky?"
"Why are you asking that?"
"I'm just curious,"
"About what?"
"If you can save your precious friends,"
SUE.
"Anong pinagusapan niyo ni Hera?" He keeps on repeating that question and I am too lazy to answer him. "Still not going to answer, huh?" Obviously.
I was busy watching the Harpies soar the clouds, I am taking a rest from my exhausting training. Zeus took me on an island in the sky, the only visible in my eyes were the fluffy clouds, he said that this island was near the Mt. Olympus and is the perfect training ground for me.
And whenever I try to use my blessing the snowy white clouds were turning into stormy clouds.
"Sue, I named you after me." He stated. Alam ko. He's persistent to know what Hera and I talked about, it was a problem solving for me that he shouldn't know.
Because the only clue that I've got is the mystery that I'm trying to unfold was between him and me.
"Mr. Panther already told me that a bunch of times," I frowned.
The Harpies suddenly halted from flying, the clouds began to flicker tiny bolts of lightning that made me smirk. He was containing his annoyance towards his daughter.
"Phoenix Gregory Stanfield," he mumbled. I curiously looked at him. Bakit niya naman binanggit ang pangalan ni Phoenix? "Apollo will grant him another blessing. Well, a temporary blessing."
"What do you mean?"
"Apollo asked me if he could give that young man a temporary blessing that can only be used two times. He wants to grant him the power of the oracle." He explained. "So, ask your friends about their prophecy, I am permitting you."
I wryly smiled when he looked at me. He was giving this piece of information so he could get the answer to his unanswered question.
I let out a big sigh.
"Zeus,"
"You mean, father?"
I rolled my eyes, "Father?"
"Yes?"
"Do you know why Hera is so afraid of me?"
