PROLOGUE (New Version)
"You'll be in danger," Athena said. She was talking to the woman in front of her with a beautiful salmon-pink hair and light brown orbs that glimmers under the sun. The woman was simply rubbing her belly, she was reassuring her child that everything will be okay.
"I will handle this on my own. Just leave before Zeus gets angry." The pregnant woman said. Her child suddenly kicked on her belly and as she smiled she knew that any minute from now her child will be able to see the world.
"You're a stubborn one, Alexis." Athena said then she kissed Alexis' belly and smiled at her, "I think you should go, Mom."
"Okay, take care. I will be back for the prophecy."
Seventeen years later.
In the world of the Sorcerers, four clans were ruling it. The world of the Sorcerers was divided into four continents: Elysian Continent - the Land of the Archangels, they are known as the Great Dividers. Next, the Dark Continent - the Land of the Kins, they are the seven demons who rule the endless darkness. The Asraon Continent - the Land of the Fallen, they are angels who lost their way but don't want to be with the Kins. And lastly, the Divine Continent - the Land of the Greeks, it is the land of the 12 Gods and Goddesses along with the demigods.
And in the Divine Continent, there is a school made exclusively for not so normal people, and that extraordinary school is called Demigods Academy. It is the school for the children of the gods and with the blood of gods running in their veins they are being called Demigods, the half-human and half-god.
Before stepping inside the Academy, a giant golden gate will welcome you and along with it was a giant golden sphinx that guards the gate against the outside. In the golden gate, ακαδημία ημίθεους was plated.
The academy was not only for demigods. They are being accompanied by other mythological creatures.
The Centaurs, the half-horse and half-human, they've got a horse's body and a torso, a man's head, and arms. Their job in Demigods Academy is to be the homeroom teachers of the students; teaching the demigods about the history of their parents and the reason why they're existing in this world. They are also the ones who give specific tasks and activities to the demigods according to their subject and section.
Each section is according to the name of gods - Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades - the three primary gods who overthrown their father. But, among the sections, a special section for the special and most powerful students belongs to Primus Section, and only six students belong to that section.
Satyrs, the half-goat and half-human, are male goat hybrids with the torso and the head of a man. They are often portrayed with flat noses, large pointed ears, long curly hair, and full beards, with vine or ivy wreaths around their bald heads. They are the ones who help the demigods in training their capability on battlefields.
In the middle of the Demigods Academy, one of the sacred ground is located in there. The Fountain of Prophecy, it is where the students will know about their prophecy. And when an ordinary student with brown eyes or black eyes seeks for its destiny the color of its eyes changes and according to the students a mysterious voice with the Spirit of Delphi narrates their fate.
"Clarkson, can you repeat my question?" The Centaurus named as Panther said. He was fuming with anger as he looks angrily to the woman with gray eyes.
The girl smirked at him, "I don't know. It was your question, so might answer it as well."
Panther was now trembling in anger, he was now as red as a tomato because of his anger. "GET OUT OF MY CLASS, CLARKSON!" Panther leered. He was pointing the door, the girl just shrugged and immediately get her things. And when she got out of the room she suddenly squealed.
She was Sue Alexandra Clarkson, the Daughter of Zeus, the Ruler of Olympus, and the mighty God of the Sky. She was the third rank in the Primus Section. And as the daughter of the Ruler of Olympus, she was blessed with the power of the skies and the roaring thunders. She can wield any weapon in her grasp. A beautiful bubbly girl who had raven hair and gray orbs that resembles the ragged stormy clouds.
Sue belongs to the Primus Section and a member of The Great Six. They had received that title because, for the past five years, none of the demigods succeed in joining them. And Primus Section is the highest rank in all rank.
The powers within them are called Blessings, it was the gift given by the Gods and Goddesses. The demigods also have the sub-power and it was telepathy - the gift given by Metis, Athena's mother who was devoured by Zeus. And aside from them, the royalties especially the princesses obtains a special gift aside from their blessings which is the Royal Gift. It was the gift given by Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty and love, as her recognition to the Queen who was her daughter. But none of the ordinary demigods knew what the royal gifts are.
Sue suddenly halted. She felt an incredible amount of power being released, it was eerie. She roamed her sight and was carefully inspecting the whole place. There are only a few students in the pathway and it seems that none of them were the suspect of the extraordinary ambiance.
"Hey, Sue! We successfully got out." Someone suddenly said and wrapped his arms around her shoulder while grinning.
Sue tilted her head and curiously looked at her companion, "What do you mean by 'we', Phoenix?"
Phoenix just giggled and turned Sue's body with him around. It made Sue awed in surprise.
Sue's best friend was Phoenix Gregory Stanfield. He was the Son of Apollo, the God of Sun, the fifth rank in the Primus Section. He was blessed by the power of the mighty sun and his existence was compared to that of Hephaestus' children, who wields the fire. Phoenix received the orbs that look like the sun, it was the mixture of orange and red and it compliments his blazing red hair.
And then, Sue smirked when he saw the languid expression of the uninvited guest.
"What?" The guy irritably asked.
"If it isn't The Great Skyler?" Sue exclaimed.
His name was Skyler Nimrod Lockser, Son of Poseidon, God of the Sea. He was blessed with the power of water and from freshwater or saltwater, he can control it easily. He owns the thrown of the Demigods Academy, he was considered as the king of Demigods Academy and he is the first rank in the Primus Section. And as the Son of Poseidon, he can talk to horses and pegasus. He possesses the eyes that resemble the sea, the cerulean colored-eyes, along with his hair that is white just like the snow.
"Quit mocking each other. Anyway, what's with this weird cold ambiance?" Phoenix asked.
"This is what I'm talking about earlier, Phoenix," Skyler asked while looking at the end of the pathway.
"It's not coming from anyone in the other sections," Sue commented.
"Of course, it is not, idiot." Skyler jeered.
Sue was about to speak when an unfamiliar woman appeared at the end of the pathway. It was languidly looking in front while emitting a cold ambiance with every step she takes. Her long wavy ash gray hair was swaying and even with her straight looking face, she was stunningly captivating while pulling her luggage. She was wearing a blue silky dress that was simply hugging her curves. She quickly roamed her sight as if she was looking for something.
"Who is she?"
"We better go, let the Primus Section handle her."
"Hey, it's so cold. But, why the hell is she different from Khione's children?"
"Save your questions for later, let's go!"
Other demigods that belong to the other sections aside from Primus made their way out. Skyler was simply smirking to the beautiful maiden when she passed through them.
Skyler tilted his body and watches the mysterious girl walk away. He was interested in her. So, he gathered a small amount of water on his palm and swiftly releases it towards the direction of the girl.
Phoenix and Sue were surprised while Skyler's smirked grew wider. The water became ice, it was glistening until it falls into the ground and shattered like a crystal.
Skyler finally met a new opponent, that is what he thought.
"Hey." Skyler called.
The mysterious woman halted. She didn't bother to look back but she knew he was talking to her, "What's your name?" Skyler asked.
Sue and Phoenix were shifting glances as they felt the unseen tension building up. The deafening silence was slowly killing their curiosity about her name. The mysterious woman started to walk but also answered the question uninterestedly.
"Aicelyn."
