015- THE SCION OF DISCORD

Instead of approaching Sev after the unexpected announcement that happened yesterday para magtanong sana sa kanya ay hindi ko ito nagawa. I guess I just chickened-out nang magtama ang paningin namin ni Theo. I'm scared to face him.

Sinisisi niya kaya ako sa nangyari sa kanya? And how stupid of me. I even forgot to visit the god Zeus' temple to ask him not to let Theo look after me in behalf of Apollo. Kailan ba kasi magpapakita sakin ang isang yon? So much for being my betrothed.

Like the usual ay tamad akong nagbihis ng uniform at nagpaalam kina Mageia at Kratos para dumiretso sa Bibliotheca. Kanina pa natapos ang breakfast sa Banquet Hall and I just didn't feel like eating there with the others. I've also had a series of nightmares kagabi. All of it didn't even make any sense.

I dreamt that I was in the abyss. Everything around me was pitch black and not a single sound. Just the deafening silence surrounding me. In just a few minutes inside the dream, vermillion-colored eyes glared infront of me as I saw a huge scythe making its way towards where I stood. Then after a few minutes... blank.

Suddenly, the dream shifted into another setting. Everything around me warped and twisted like I was under some sort of a trance. Then on the far-side of the place stood a huge, vintage hourglass... then I just woke up. Stupid right?

Nakayuko akong naglakad patungong Bibliotheca because I didn't want to come-across other semideuses and greet them eye to eye. The incident yesterday kung saan muntikan ko nang patayin yung isa sa mga semideus habang papunta sa office ni goddess Eunomia ay sapat na dahilan para iwasan ko sila.

"Well if it isn't the girl that I always wanted to meet. Hello, daughter of Hecate.", kaagad akong napatigil sa paglalakad nang may biglang humarang sakin sa dinadaanan ko. Nag-angat ako ng tingin kung sino iyon.

"Elliander. Son of Eris, the Greek goddess of strife, discord, and chaos. It's 'Yander' for you, amoré .", he introduced as a sly smirk appeared on his annoying face before he extended his hand at me.

Tall... about six foot three; pretty much the same height as the other guys in the class Primarius. His eyes glimmered of silver dust and he had this dangerous vibe all over him---as if he was about to murder anyone who tries to meet his gaze. By the way he stood, I can definitely tell that this guy was always up to no good.

His jet-black hair was disheveled. Seems to me like he just woke-up a few minutes ago. He also had a scar on his left eyebrow and a diamond earring shimmered on his left ear which made him look like the typical school troublemaker. Kumulo agad ang dugo ko nang mapagmasdan ang pagmumukha niya.

"Not interested.", I coldly answered as I was about to walk past him when he intentionally grabbed my right arm at pwersahan akong pinaharap ulit sa kanya. I threw him an exasperated glare. My expression didn't even falter when he started eyeing me intensely na para bang nanghahamon ito nang away.

"Let go. Or I'll break your hand.", seryosong banta ko dito pero tinawanan niya lang ako at mas lalong hinila palapit sa kanya as he lowered his face infront of mine.

"Damn. Your hostility... turns me on.", what in Hades did he just say? Assh*le.

I immediately grabbed his hand na nakahawak sakin at walang-pasabi itong binalibag as I kneed him in the groin at malakas siyang pinabagsak sa sahig ng hallway.

I narrowed my eyes at him as he only smirked at me in return na tila ba'y nang-aasar pa.

"Next time, watch your f*cking mouth o hindi lang yan ang aabutin mo.", madilim na sambit ko tsaka siya marahas na binitawan as I turned my back at him and left him there on the floor para pumunta na sa Bibliotheca.
