There were no clouds, no stars just the moonlight shining at their eyes. The cold weather was unable to extinguish the burning tension in the surrounding, not a single noise can be heard as they tightly grip on their swords. The whisper of the wind became the signal of their dance.

As Skyler and Night met in the middle, they began to dance as their swords began to beat a beautiful hymn.

Night step sidewards, he plunged his sword to Skyler's stomach but he failed. Skyler was more agile compare to their last battle. Skyler kicked him in the face making him fly backward.

And once again, Night was caught off guard when Skyler appeared behind him. Skyler thrust his sword to Night, a large wound became visible at his stomach with just a glimpse. Night winced. He pursed his lips and galloped behind, he was avoiding Skyler's attack.

Night was thinking of his last resort just to defeat the king of Demigods Academy.

He bit his lower lip, he wiped off the blood from his mouth and used it to draw a pentagram on his wrist. Skyler was languidly looking at him as he started to transform.

Night was screeching as the bloody red magic circle began to envelop them. The tension began to arise, the menacing black shadows were gathering around Night. His eyes were shut, a single wing appeared at his side. And when he opened his eyes, a symbol of pentagram appeared; the eyeball was painted with crimson red and the pentagram was black.

In a blink of an eye, Night disappeared from Skyler's facade. And before he could react, a strong wind occurred along with a cut in Skyler's arm.

Skyler smiled.

With just his two fingers, Skyler stopped Night's sword. Night looked at him with disbelief and when Skyler's eyes met his, he began to tremble.

"Kung gamit mo lang sana ang blessing mo dati, siguro ay pag-asa ka pang manalo." Skyler stated.

Night gritted his teeth. Thoughts were streaming down on his mind which was telling him that it was only were a mere fluke. He tried to strike another attack on Skyler which was easily dodged.

"Impossible..." Night mumbled.

Skyler smirked. "I can defeat you without being serious, Night."

All of a sudden Night was prison inside a sphere of water. He was trying his best just to get out, and then realization finally struck inside Night's mind. Whatever he does, Skyler will always be ahead of him. He stopped struggling in the water instead, he began to embrace it.

Night tightly held his sword. Skyler was watching him with curiosity, he was about to uncast his attack when all of a sudden Night pierced his heart with his sword.

Skyler's eyes grew wide as his knees weakened. Tears began to fall as he runs towards him, "Fucking Styx..." he mumbled.

Under the shades of the moonlight, the smile that Skyler was waiting for years appeared. Blood spit out of Night's mouth, "Sky... Dude, I'm sorry."

"Don't speak. Dadalhin kita sa-"

"I fell in love with your sister... Well, I fell in love with her not knowing she was your sister."

"I told you- Don't fucking speak!"

Night eyes were slowly becoming a burden. His heart was slowly giving up, "Can you please tell Aizen... Please take care of the conyo princess,"

The wintry air swirled around Sue, robbing all the warmth. Her stormy eyes were fixed as he looked at the guy in her front, an old acquaintance that she wished to disappear. Though for her, everything about him seems different; his lovely smile turned into a cunning one, his sparkling eyes were now dull and his mellow presence was now deadly.

"Bristol," Sue whispered.

Bristol smiled sardonically. Bristol was once part of the Poseidon Section, he was Nemesis' son and a demigod who admired Sue Alexandria Clarkson more than anyone.

He left along with Night. His reason was to take revenge against Sue- the woman who deceived and defeated her in the Grand Olympian Games.

"Alexandria," Bristol mumbled.

Bristol was playing with his dagger, he lazily threw it in Sue's direction. The dagger scrapes in her cheek, and then Sue wiped it like it was nothing. Bristol smiled when the dagger came back to his hand like a boomerang.

"So, you are back with your reve-" Sue wasn't able to finish her words when her body became numb. And then realization struck her mind when she saw the stained of her blood on the dagger, her blood collided to Bristol's.

Bristol slit his wrist and mixes with Sue's blood, an ability that is exclusive for Nemesis' children. By mixing the blood of the child of Nemesis and his target, he can paralyze the opponent.

The time of paralyzation is determined by the class of the victim's godly parent. An Olympian can be paralyzed for three minutes while a Titan can be paralyzed for two minutes.

Bristol made his way towards Sue, he lightly pushed her. She groaned in pain as she kissed the wintry floor. Her stormy eyes were piercing as she looks at Bristol who was mocking her.

"Pathetic," Bristol mumbled.

Bristol was smiling sardonically as he reaches for the strand of Sue's hair, he sniffs it as he was longing for it. "I was your first. I was present when you were just a pathetic demigod who can't even use her blessing. You know how much I love you yet you fucking deceived me just to win that contest,"

Sue stayed quiet. Bristol's eyes were screaming with bloodlust, he was about to pierce her when suddenly vines began to wrap around Sue and were crucified in the naked tree nearby.

"What the hell are you doing, Celine?" Bristol asked.

"Using my royal gift?" Celine answered.

Sue was still paralyzed and now two enemies were in front. "Now kill the human- I mean, demigod dart."

Bristol's eyes glimmered. He summoned his other four daggers, he was about to throw the dagger when clouds began to appear in the clear sky. The clouds were dark, lightning was flickering on it and when the thunder roared- a bolt of lightning struck to their direction.

Sue smirked.

She shut her eyes when a huge wave of icy dust occupy the surrounding. "What are you smirking, Alexandria?" Sue unknowingly opened her eyes, she was horrified when she saw Bristol and Celine unscratched by her attack.

Behind them was a huge igloo made of ground, the damage of her lightning was absorbed by Celine's blessing.

"Feel my wrath, Alexandria." Bristol brooded.

Bristol threw the first dagger at Sue's right wrist, the second one was at her left wrist and the third one was at her left foot. He was about to throw the fourth dagger when Celine stole it from him, "Foul," Celine said.

"What do you think you are doing, Salvante?"

"Tatlong darts lang ang pwedeng gamitin."

"I don't-"

"Leave her. Maraming dugo ang mawawala r'yan. You still need to accompany me," Celine stated. He pulled Bristol away from Sue, but before they could fully leave- she noticed the plum liquid on the dagger she stole from Bristol. A poison.

Sue's were left open yet she was already unconscious.

Kaki was nearby along with some wisp, he felt the faint magic which was slowly dying. In his child form, he runs towards its direction, his eyes squinted when he saw the familiar woman. Starting from her wrist, the body was slowly eaten by a plum poison, marching its way upwards.

He grimaced when he saw the daggers piercing her body. He let the wisps to their job, she was slowly released from the vines and daggers.

They immediately went to the Achaea were the other demigods were camping, they brought Sue inside the Primus Section's tent.

"Please, help her." Kaki pleaded to Glifford who was the only one present inside the tent.

"The wisp and I will do our best,"

"Please... Heal her for my master."
