Chapter 60: The Fallen (New Version)
Light stood mightily while being mocked by his father. Another wave of skeletons rise from the ground, they were tougher and darker than the last one. The magic energy flowing the pitch-black skeletons were three times greater. Light languidly looked at the majestic show of his father, not a single fear was written from his eyes.
Alexis knows that ability well, after all, she was the one who helped Dark to activate his secret art in the past. The rise of the undead, the rise of the broken souls. The skeletons began to charge at him. But they halted in the middle which made Light smirk, he used his Intelectix and summoned a sunglasses.
Nalimutan ni Alexis ang lungkot na nararamdaman niya nang isuot ni Light ang salamin at pinagkrus ang kaniyang mga kamay habang mayabang na nakatingin kay Dark.
"Thuglife," Light mumbled.
Alexis wryly smiled and awkwardly looked away, "I'll just pretend that I didn't see that." she whispered.
"Anong feeling na magamit sa'yo ang sarili mong kapangyarihan, Kronos?" Light asked.
"Kronos?" Alexis asked.
"Mom didn't tell you? I guess you're not the favorite one,"
Hindi naiwasan ni Alexis ang mapairap ng pabiro dahil sa inaasta ng kaniyang kapatid, she's smart enough to notice that her brother was doing funny skits just to make her smile because of the situation.
"So, Athena knew?" Dark asked.
Even with Dark's command, the skeletons won't move. Light heaved a sigh and languidly looked at him, "You can use my father's blessing and I can use yours," Light mumbled.
Light copied Night's blessing which he witnessed in the past using his Secret Art. Light snapped his fingers and turned the back the time, and in just a glimpse the skeletons became ashes.
"Ah, I forgot to tell you..." Light said. Saglit siyang minata ng kaniyang kalaban hanggang sa ngumisi si Light ng mayabang, "I have a brain and you don't have," Light mocked.
The time around Kronos stopped, Light was ready to land his attack when Alexis pulled him. "Leave, Light!" Alexis ordered.
Light befuddling looked at her, "Why—"
"JUST LEAVE!" Alexis shouted.
Tila natuliro si Light sa sigaw ng kaniyang kapatid, saglit siyang tumingin dito hanggang sa nasilayan niya ang determinasyon at tapang sa mga mata ng kapatid niya. Light nodded, "Be safe, okay?" Light said.
"I will. Help your friends," Alexis uttered.
Hinintay ni Alexis ang tuluyang pag alis ni Light. Nanumbalik ang oras ni Kronos sa kanya at ngumisi kay Alexis, "I wonder... Ano na naman kayang ideya ang nasa isip mo?"
Alexis let out a sigh, her pale brown eyes were looking down on him until it landed to her friend, "I just remembered something," she uttered.
"17 years ago, Zeus imprisoned me in the nasty fountain and planted Delphi's spirit within me... But before that event, I was battling for my life in a certain war." Alexis said. Saglit na umiling-iling si Alexis habang naglalakad palapit kay Kronos tila naalala ang isang memorya mula sa nakaraan, "I was saved by a friend, I owe her my life."
"So?"
"Do you want to know who died for me that day?"
"I don't care for you stupi—"
"I was so excited to see her but then I realized it."
"I told you. I don't care about your—"
"Emerald Stone died seventeen years ago,"
Serena was watching her friend as she sleeps in the bed, they were somewhere in the Cerxes, she used someone's home to hide Aicelyn from the others. She knows that what she did was wrong but she needs to do it so she can save her. She wanted to atone her sins by saving her.
"You know what, the Great Prophecy thing amazes me... Back in my time ay wala pa niyan." The voice inside her uttered.
Serena bit her lip preventing herself to laugh, "Really?" she asked.
She walked near the window and looked outside. Her cerulean eyes began to show different kinds of emotion, she knows the root of the Great Prophecy. She knows it well. A sin that made her a sinner.
"What will you do now?"
"I will run away with Lyn." She seriously said.
"Did she allow you?"
Serena rolled her eyes. The woman inside her made her remember the sin that she made a month ago, she sold herself not from a devil but to someone way more powerful. "Shut up,"
The woman laughed, "I'm just kidding. Anyway, how is your body?"
"I'm fine,"
"If your friends will ask you about what happened... What will you tell them?"
Serena shrugged her shoulder and looked back to Aicelyn, "I will not say anything,"
"You're scared of your brother. Alam kong tatagilid ka sa kanya kapag siya na ang nagtanong sa'yo."
"How can I not be scared of him? Parehas kaming anak ni Poseidon ngunit sobrang laki nang pagkakaiba ng abilidad namin. He possesses a tremendous amount of magical power though he was just hiding it," Serena uttered. Hindi niya napansin ang panginginig ng kaniyang katawan, fear began to lurk inside her and the woman within her felt it. "He's so gifted... That he was able to master three Secret Art at a young age."
"Serena Undersea is scared, huh?" The woman mocked. She was laughing at Serena's reaction, "Don't worry, she gave you a gift, right? Master it... Alam kong mas magiging magaling ka pa sa kapatid mo,"
Saglit na napailing si Serena saka tumabi sa kaniyang kaibigan, sinuklay nito ang buhok ng kaniyang kaibigan at malungkot na tumingin dito, "Celine is finishing it, Lyn. It was you who started it but..."
Pinikit ni Serena ang mga mata niya at inalala ang mga alaalang nawala sa kaniyang kaibigan na kasama niya. Ang isang malagim na aksidente na hanggang ngayon ay hindi nawawala sa kaniyang alaala, ang aksidenteng nagwatak sa apat na magkakaibigan.
When she opened her eyes, a tear escape from her eyes, she felt the pang deep in her heart. She made another mistake but this time she didn't wager for someone's life, she wagers for the sake of her life.
"One day... I'll disappear and I hope my best friends will be able to forgive me."
The woman inside felt her grief and the sadness in her voice, "Seek for their help,"
"They can't help me."
"But Aizen can," The woman stated.
Serena sadly smiled, "She loathed the woman who helped me."
"But he can't runaway from her."
"Let the angel with the broken wings decides on his own, Madam."
"Gracious! Don't call me Madam!"
"But you are Emerald Stone,"
