Cloud counted us and his brows furrowed. Sinuklay nya ang buhok at binilang ulit kami.

"What the heck are you doing?" Tanong ni Eira kaya napalingon sa kanya si Cloud.

"Kailangan daw 18 tayo kapag pumunta tayo sa kanya. E kaso 16 lang tayo." Problemadong sabi ni Cloud. Eira rolled her eyes and turned to Cloud.

"Paano mo nalaman na eighteen?" She asked while rasing her brows.

"Binilang ko yung words tapos 18 lahat." Cloud answered innocently. Tumingin naman sila sa papel at binilang ang words.

"You're right. But it already said that we should find another two person." Noah said.

"We don't even know who gave this." Sabi ni Thanara na nagpatango sa amin.

"We don't need to know who she is. We just need to find the two direct descendants." Atlas said. Tumaas ang kilay ko ng makitang magkatabi sila ni Zandria.

"But how will we find them?" Tanong naman ni Aidan.

"Let's just find some answers. Magkita kita nalang tayo bukas." Thrax said and stood up. Tumingin sya sa amin kaya tumango nalang ako. I used my teleportation ability to fastly go home. Hindi naman nila kailangan humawak sa akin, minsan lang kapag trip namin.

"What do you think?" Thrax immediately asked the moment we got home. Pumalibot kami sa couch sa sala at doon nagusap.

"I think we can find them by using our powers too?" Freya said. We all looked at her. She avoided our eyes because she know what are we gonna ask.

"Can you take a peek on the future, Angel? Just a little bit, promise!" Zandria said and even raised her right hand.

"I won't." She said with finality that made Zandria pouted. Hindi na namin sya pinilit.

"Why don't you use your power—." Eleena was cutted off when a lot of people suddenly barged in, may bigla nalang din pumasok gamit ang teleportation.

Out of instinct they stood up, but I remained seated properly—I mean the proper way of sitting for me is the way that my legs are crossed.

"What the heck Greeks and Romans?" Sabi ni Thanara habang nakahanda ng lumaban. Marius smirked and suddenly sat beside me. Pinilit nila ang mga sarili nila sa living room namin na hindi naman sila welcome. I mean, this house is too big for us. Pwede pa nga silang tumira dito, but they aren't welcome.

"Bigla nalang kayong umalis kaya hindi na namin kayo napigilan. We should work together because we'll be working for a long time." Sabi ni Noah na katabi si Aidan.

Napatingin sila sa lamesa na may basket ng candy instead of fruits. Kukuha na sana ang mga Greeks ng bigla silang na kuryente. That's me.

I raised my brows at them, pumitik ako at biglang nawala ang basket na iyon. Kumuha lang ako ng isa bago I teleport sa kwarto ko.

"Damot." Blade said and Marius immediately covered his mouth with his hands.

"Next time, give a warning. Muntik ko na kayong patayin." Thanara said jokingly.

"As if." Haze commented while leaning on the wall, nahagip ng mata ko si Uno na mukhang tulog na naman. He's currently sitting on my left , nasa pang isahang sofa din sya. His head is low because he's sleeping, I think?

They started talking and I just listened. It's better to watch Ashvin. I smirked at the thought. Ashvin Oliver, huh?

"So what's the plan?" I heard Eira said.

"We're wondering if we can use our powers to find the other two direct descendants." Thrax explained.

"How?"

"We also don't know. We just wondered." Thrax said in a matter of fact tone.

"Maybe we should give it a try?" I heard Atlas said.

I moved on my sit a bit when I saw Ashvin slowly raised his head. Nagtama ang tingin namin kaya napangisi ako. His eyes are sleepy but he didn't avoid mine.

"Right now?" I heard Zandria asked.

"Para mabilis tayong matapos. Wala naman dapat sinasayang na oras." Aidan said that made them all agree.

"How about you two—Sapphire Linnaea." Thrax called me with authority. I winked at Ashvin before turning to my friend.

"Yeah?"

"You're not listening?" Hindi makapaniwalang tanong nya na nagpataas ng kilay ko.

"You're talking as if you don't know me." I said in our minds and smirked.

"Right. Let's go." Tumayo na sya kaya sumunod na silang lahat. Naiwan kami ni Ashvin kaya ngumisi ako.

He's sitting like a King in our couch. Does he want me to sit on his lap? It's calling me.

"I wouldn't mind." He said in our minds that made my brows raised.

"Stop reading my mind."

"I'm not. It's slipping from your head." He said so I tightened my mind to avoid the thoughts slipping away.

We stared at each other for seconds before I heard Freya's voice.

"Sapphire!" Freya called so I stood up. Dumaan ako sa harap ni Ashvin at sumunod na sa kanila. I felt his presence behind me.

"We'll go out and try to call their attention." Freya said so I nodded. Lumabas kami ng Academy at pumunta sa kagubatan na katabi lang din ng school.

"I'll try." Sabi ni Cloud. Humakbang sya ng ilang hakbang palayo sa amin. He raised his hand and suddenly, a string of light appeared. Humaba iyon ng humaba hanggang sa hindi na namin alam kung saan nagpunta, but he's still holding the string though.

"Can you detect a blood of a demigod?" Tanong ni Eira kaya napalingon sa amin si Cloud.

"Huh? Akala ko kukuhanin lang atensyon nila."

"Dumbass." Eira rolled her eyes that made them laughed.

Sumunod naman si Eira, minutes had passed but she didn't succeed. Followed by Atlas, Zandria, Blade, and Freya and Yesenia.

"Baka mali yung way natin?" Stress na sabi ni Cloud. Inirapan na naman sya ni Eira.

"Let me try." Thanara said and closed her eyes.

She's scanning the blood of everyone. Ilang minuto ang lumipas at wala pa din.

"I can't." She said. Aidan stepped forward and also tried.

"I think...I called it?"
