Mitolohiya Series #3
Becoming the Nemesis, that's all they have feared.
And because of that, Rebel Danilo Apoian always felt so different. How his hair radiantly shines like the sun, how different his eyes were and especially his tattoos on his bod...

"Lily?" Tanong ko.
"Ah, hello po Ate!" Bati naman niya sa'kin. Compare before, mukhang naging masiyahin na siya compare nung una namin siyang makita. Binunggo ko naman si Rebel at sinamaan ko siya ng tingin.
"May sasabihin ka pa sa kanya di'ba? Akala mo siguro hindi ko malalaman ang mga pananakot mo sa mga nakakasalamuha mong Demigods,"Irap ko.
Umiling naman si Lily,"Ayos lang, Ate. Naiintindihan ko naman po si Kuya. Nalaman ko na ang totoo..anak ako ni Anagolay, the Goddess of Lost Things."
She's that Goddess daughter...?
Ngumisi na lang si Rebel at napailing, "See, tama ang hinala ko. Gusto ko lang makasiguro."
Wow, ha! Proud pa siyang inangasan niya noh? Ibang klase rin talaga ang lalaking to! But wait, I am so invested in this.
"Anagolay's tale finds its profound roots in Filipino culture, underscoring the paramount significance of ancestral beliefs in everyday life. Anagolay's role as the Goddess of Lost Things places her in a distinctive position within Philippine mythology.
Her influence reaches beyond mere physical possessions, encompassing abstract notions such as missed opportunities and faded memories. In many ways, she encapsulates the universal human experience of loss and the innate yearning for restoration.
In the era before the arrival of modern religions, the indigenous Filipinos lacked the structured belief systems to address existential queries. Within this backdrop, deities like Anagolay served as a framework for comprehending life's enigmas. They not only provided interpretations for natural phenomena but also bestowed significance upon the various facets of the human experience."Excited kong sinabi at napahawak na lang ako sa kamay ni Lily. I never knew that she's Anagolay's daughter! She is definitely strong. I could feel that.
"Yan na naman siya. Kapag–"
"Di ako gaya mo, may daddy issues kay Apolaki,"Ngisi ko na kinapikon naman na ni Rebel at sinamaan ako ng tingin.
"Isa rin po kayong mga Demigods?" Tanong ni Lily at parang hindi pa siya makapaniwala doon. She held her mouth and she realized something.
"Kaya pala..."
"Yes, I'm Idiyanale's daughter and that prick over there is Apolaki's son." Sabi ko naman kay Lily sabay turo kay Rebel.
Ever since I met Rebel, hindi lang mga corrupted souls ang mga lapitin sa kanya. Pati rin ang ibang Demigods. I don't know if this is some kind of fate or what pero may dahilan kung bakit kami nagkakatagpo lahat. That's what I believe in.
