DEMIGODS: Within The Myths (New Version)

Chapter 53: Winter Solstice (New Version)

As time goes by, the fated day has finally arrived, December 21st. The middle of the day just occurs yet the chills of the evening can be felt; the trees shiver in the bitter wind, as the naked branches were covered with glistening winter frost. The roads were slippery, and everything was covered with white.

The melodious voices of the musical fairies can be heard in the Achaea, the demigods were embracing the last song that was dedicated for them as their enemies were yet to come. The walls of Achaea were now covered with thick walls of steels and at the top of it cannons made by the Alchemy Kingdom were positioned. And the residents of the Cerxes were evacuated to the Cerulean Kingdom.

The Olympians have two missions; the first one is to protect the Achaea, Belster, Cerxes, and Demigods Academy at all costs. And the second mission is to retrieve Dionysus' daughter, the Demigods Academy's headmistress.

Yet, the demigods were waiting for the arrival of the Primus Section, and even though they were personally trained by their godly parents not a single ounce of jealousy can be seen from the other sections. Because they were also trained by the remaining gods, and that is also a great privilege.

And now the role of the gods was done.

But little did they know that the students of Primus Section have already set foot in their beloved walls. At the outskirt of the Belster, Aizen was resting on top of the tree, he was simply watching the demigods who were getting ready in the Achaea. On the other hand, Phoenix was outside the Achaea together with Kaki who was now in a form of a child with little fox ears on top of his head.

Sue was blended in the crowd. She was roaming around, looking for her other friends. Sue flinched when a loud explosion occurred outside the Achaea, an indescribable heat was coming from the gate, and the magic energy being released was extreme. She decided to run towards the gate for she concluded that it might be an attack from their enemies.

Sue halted when she bumped into someone, both of them looked at each other with eyes widened.

"Sue!"

"Aizelle!" Sue shouted and then she hugged her. "Pupunta ka rin ba sa gate?"

Aizelle awkwardly laughs as she scratches her head, "Yes, it must be—" Aizelle was interrupted when she felt a weight wrapped around her shoulder.

"You'll never be able to see the commotion with a lot of demigods going to the gate." Light smirked. Aizelle was caught in surprise, she unintentionally pushed Light, he smiled amusedly while looking at her. He pointed the wall of Achaea, "Let's go, up there." Light said.

Sue smiled and pulled the two of them, "Wait," Sue mumbled. The air becomes heavy around them, Sue was being surrounded by air and when she opened her eyes, they were glimmering. The air began to dance around as it slowly forms into cumulus clouds.

It made both Aizelle and Light awed. It was whiter than milk and fluffier than cotton, they followed Sue as she hopped in the cloud. "This is awesome, Sue," Aizelle said.

And when reach the top, they saw the other side of the Achaea.

"Aizelle," Light whispered.

"What?"

"Iniiwasan mo ba ako?" Light asked. Aizelle grimaced, not wanting to answer his question.

Sue scowled, "Wow. Ano kayo mag-jowang hindi nagkita ng isang buwan? At talagang sa harapan ko pa kayo naglalandian ha."

"Shut up," Aizelle jeered. Her attention shifted at the bottom to the Geryons beneath them, who were smashing the walls of Achaea.

Both Sue and Light looked at where Aizelle was looking at, they noticed something odd at the Geryons. They were smashing the walls as if they were out of control, their eyes were crimson unlike the usual, and they were howling as if they are in pain. "Someone is controlling them," Aizelle stated.
