The Last Elysian Oracle (Soon to be Published under PSICOM)

Holding it Together

Dio's POV

"Oh diba mga bro. Sabi ko sa'nyo eh. Good idea 'to." ani Chase na may dalawang slices of cucumber sa mga mata niya.

Actually, his idea was not bad afterall. We've been here for like the whole afternoon. Pinatulong kasi kami sa pag establish ng bagong barrier ng skwelahan. I heard Cesia got mad about it.

Tapos kami pa yung inutusan na linisin ang training rooms and grounds ng Beta class bilang 'consequence' sa mga cutting classes namin. Mas nakakaawa si Sebastian dahil nasali siya kahit wala pa siyang case dito sa Academy.

My whole body aches. When suddenly nagkaroon ng ideya ang genius kong kaibigan.
The girls are taking over the entire dorm so we have no choice but to spend time on our own.

Kaya nga sumang-ayon kaming lahat kay Chase.

I took a sip from my tea. Nasa hot jacuzzi kami ngayon. We're all naked. Letting all the steam swallow us.

My hair feels so minty too. Dahil full package ang kinuha namin sa spa. It came with hair treatment which is cool.

We also ordered some foods.

Now I understand kung bakit gusto na gusto ng mga girls ang mag spa dito. Damn. This is just out of this world.

Mas naeenjoy ko ang silence pag ganito. We should spa more often.

I should have like.... a spa schedule.

"I wonder why the staff seem so busy these days..." I said out of nothing.

It's just that... napansin ko lang. Kahapon nga wala yung principal nang kunan ko ng litrato ang bagong transferees. May appointment din kami ni sir Rio ngayon kaso kinancel niya.
Are they focused on the new camp for the huntres or... there is something else?

"Nakita ko rin yung leader ng Amazons kanina. Kasama niya yung fifth Amazonian tribe." Chase said removing the cucumber slices from his eyes.

Kumunot ang noo ko.

"I saw Heather and her gang too." dagdag ni Sebastian.

So the two packs were here.

"Is there another war?" we looked at one another as if pareho kami ng iniisip.

Trev gave us his signature bored look and sighed. Pumikit ulit siya saka sinandal ang ulo niya.

"No..." sagot niya. "we should have known earlier."

"But... paano kung meron nga?" usisa ni Chase.

"then it wouldn't happen here. It would take place somewhere else." walang nag iba sa boses ni Trev. Pero alam kong curious din siya katulad naming lahat.

"Siguro nga. That would explain their silence. Saka... wala pa tayong natatanggap na misyon mula sa kanila." my eyes shifted to Cal who opened his mouth as if may gusto siyang sabihin.

"what?" siniko ko siya.

Kaso umiling lang siya. Which is another way of saying 'nevermind'.

I sighed and tried to relax.

Tinuon ko nalang ang atensyon ko sa tubig na nakapalibot sa'min. Marami ang magtatanong kung ano ang pakiramdam pag anak ka ng isa sa 'big three'. Poseidon, particularly.

It feels nothing. Kung ano ang nararamdaman ng tao, yun rin ang nararamdaman ko. But there is one thing. Water is very vulnerable for me.

May nararamdaman akong tingling sensation sa kamay ko when there is water. Kahit hindi ko'to nakikita. I can feel its flow. And my body wishes to control it.
