"you can'y stop me, hera. i am claiming my son! and i am not doing what you did seven years ago!" sabi ni nyx. naging puti naman ulit ang usok at nagsimula na itong humiwalay sa itim na usok.

"i will not let you hurt anyone," mariing sabi ng reyna ng olympus at sa isnag kumpas lamang ng kamay niya ay naglaho na ang maitim na usok ni nyx. nawalan naman ng malay ang mga dyos at dyosa na nasaniban ng maitim na usok.

si nyx naman ay nagliliwanag ang katawan hanggang sa maging buo na ito. "now that you got what you wanted, go back to where you came from!" sigaw ni hera at nagliwanag ang kulay berde nitong mga mata.

ang katawang-tao namam ni nyx ay unti-unti nang nagiging usok hanggang sa nawala na ito na parang bula.

hera's body started to get back to its human form and she immediately rushed towards seonghwa. she kneeled down and puts seonghwa's head on her lap. she puts her hand on seonghwa's forehead and it glowed a bright green. bigla namang gumising si seonghwa at naghabol ng hininga.

napatingin ito kay hera. niyakap siya nito at lumutang silang dalawa. nagsimula namang lumabas mula sa katawan nila ang puti at berdeng usok.

"wait, that's it?" tanong ni mingi habang tumatayo. "is he being claimed?"

"yes," sabi ni jongho na nakaakbay sa balikat ni wooyoung. "and it's hera's style."

"i'm sorry to break it up to you guys but i've always known about hwa's deity," galit na nilingon ng lahat si yeosang na nakataas ang mga kamay na tila ba sumusuko.

"chill. the queen herself told me not to spill the fun. she wanted to do this alone that's why she only told my dad and then my dad rold me about it." pagpapaliwanag ni yeosang pero sinigawna lamang siya ng mga kaibigan.

natawa na lamang ang huli at pinanood ang claiming ritual ni hera at ni seonghwa.

nang matapos ay dahan-dahang bumaba sa sahig ng olympus ang mga katawan nila. niyakap ni seonghwa si hera at mangiyak-ngiyak. "you are now claimed, my child."

"but... what took you so long?" tanong ni seonghwa. hera moved her hands frantically and the gods of olympus woke up from their deep sleep.

"it was nyx. she never wanted me to claim you because she wants to own you. alone."

"wait. so nyx is also my deity?"

tumango si hera before smiling meaningfully. "but she didn't win. and i never let her. because you are my child."

"hera," isang malakas na boses ang tumawag sa kanya. masamang nakatingin sa kaniya si zeus at nang makalapit ay binigyan niya ito ng isang mahigpit na yakap. "why did you do that?"

"i did what i have to do, zeus," sabi ni hera at biglang naglaho.

kung saan siya pupunta, walang nakakaalam.

"okay!" sigaw ni zeus at nagkatinginan naman ang mga direct descendants ng twelve olympians. "now that it's over, we can now start the claiming ceremony for the twelve olympians' descendants!"
