MYTH ||Universe of Four Gods Series|| Book 2

💠Chapter 36💠

I glared at Yuan. Isa pa ito. Bakit ayaw nila akong paniwalaan? Wala ba silang tiwala sa akin?

"Guys, to get this done, the thing we must do right for us is to gather. It is tiring all of these arguments." Saad naman ni Avis na halatang pagod na rin. At first time ko narinig na may iritasyon sa boses nito.

"Fine, then lets proceed with the other two." Saad naman ni Luna at tiningnan ang GPS. "They are around here."

Agad kaming kumilos at ilang sandali pa nga ay natagpuan na rin namin sina Violet.

"Oh thank god, it is a bad idea to break the group." Agad na saad ni Violet pagkakita sa amin.

"Why? I thought it was perfect." Saad naman ni Luna.

"You have no idea. We were chased by an angry serpent yesterday and it came out flying out of nowhere." Reklamo ni Violet. "I thought it was the death of me."

Gusto ko naman matawa rito. Sa reklamo niya, walang wala ito sa nangyari sa akin. Palibutan ba naman ako ng apat na serpents. Pero syempre akin na lang yun.

"Then, let's head now to the heart of the abyss." Saad ko naman. "Full speed."

We sprinted right away and we are heading on one direction. I know they are wondering that we can't even see any single serpents on our way pero hindi na nagtanong pa ang mga ito. Kung magtatanong man sila ay may alibi naman ako.

The fog was thicker than the usual at mas malamig din ang paligid. The trees are bigger than the others and the grass were taller. It only indicates that we are getting closer and the acid in the air is getting thicker.

Kung normal lang siguro kami ay malamang hindi na namin kinaya ang intensidad ng paligid. The air is screaming with DO NOT ENTER signage, dahil sa high acidity na dala ng hangin.

Few minutes passed at natanaw na namin ang naglalakihan pang puno pero wala ng mga talahib pero may mga stone hedges na may mga ukit. Other were sculpted like totem na sinasamba ng mga sinaunang tao. Mas lalo pa namin binilisan ang aming mga galaw but I sensed a presence coming as well.

Agad na dumapo ang tingin ko sa kabila at tama nga ang hinala ko. The other groups are also sprinting. But how? Paanong nakarating sila rito ng ganito rin kabilis? I know they were having a hard time as well dahil sa mga serpents, but this?

"They are coming." Saad naman ni Jin.

We scattered and they flown, ako lang ang natirang tumatakbo. Ang unfair ng mga ito! Iniwan ako! Pero binilisan ko na ang aking takbo and I stopped when I reached the stone hedges. Agad kong nakita ang golden champion's cup at agad itong hinawakan.

"Not so fast!" Biglang saad naman sa akin ng Silver Ice group pero hindi na nito nagawang lumapit dahil pinalibutan na ang paligid ng naglalagablab na apoy.

"Unfortunately, were faster." Yuan smirked and he landed just right beside me.

Lumapag na rin ang iba and the moment we all stepped on the same circle, a bright light came on and a few seconds, we were like suck inside and thrown in the unkown. I landed and I was rolling like a ball. Nagulat ako dun, wala man lang pasabi.

"Aaaahhhhhh!" Rinig ko na sigawan ng mga tao.

Napamulat naman ako. Nandito pala kami tumilapon sa gitna ng arena kung saan maraming tao ang maghihintay.

"We have now the Champions!" Sigaw naman ng emcee.

Few seconds the other groups was teleported as well at ang iba ay may mga injury lalo na yung mga elves. One of them is limping. The sorcerers looks fine to me.

Hindi magkamayaw ang buong arena. Hawak hawak ko ang Champion's Cup kaya itinaas ko ito at mas lalong lumakas pa ang hiyawan.

Napangiti naman si Yuan na inikagulat naman ni Luna pero hindi na ito nagkomento pa. He was known as a cold freak kaya ang makitang nakangiti ito ay talagang once in a blue moon.

Sinalubong naman kami ng Hari at Reyna na tuwang tuwa sa aming pagkapanalo. The confetti was falling nonstop at ang nakakabinging hiyawan ay hindi maputol putol.

"Congratulations! You won! I know you can do it." Tuwang tuwa na saad ng Hari at niyakap nito si Yuan.

"They are strong and perfect team." Saad naman ng Reyna na nakangiti sa amin. Weird, the cold queen smiled, mana nga talaga si Yuan rito.

"This is means for a grand celebration!" Saad ng hari at biglang inagaw ang microphone na hawak hawak ng emcee. "People of Universe. This day, is another history will be written. This win, will be celebrated tomorrow. Royal ball will be held and you are all invited to celebrate the successful of Knighthood, our champions, the Elite!" Anunsyo ng hari.

Sigawan ang lahat. Party means pagkain. Si Avis naman ay talagang natuwa. Violet was smiling, alam ko na tuwang tuwa rin ito dahil nanalo kami. Even Luna can't stop grinning and even tugging my arm.

"This will not happen without your crazy idea. Thank you." Saad ni Luna sa akin.

She called it crazy idea. I know, that serpents will no longer bother but I cannot say it. I will let her think that we won, due to my antics.

"Another party huh." Naisaad ko na lang.

"Yeah. And we must look beautiful, so you go with me tomorrow and choose the dresses." Luna was grinning widely.

"Count me in." Saad naman ni Violet na nakikinig din pala sa amin.

"Have it your way then." Sagot ko naman nito na nakangiti na lang. If Luna says so wala na akong magagawa. When it comes with party, she is always on the go.

The arena who once had a loud noise was left barren after the event. It was only left with confetti and banner and the sanitary engineers, who are cleaning the area couldn't even complain due to their happiness as well with the result of the event. Our world won, on this prestigious event. This is our pride, and we are the champions.
