"This is a big joke, isn't it?" Sky asked Madam Stone.

When they immediately heard the announcement, the Primus Section made their way to Madam Stone's office."I'm sorry, you may leave now." Madam Stone languidly said.

"Stop joking. Where is Ice?" Sky firmly asked.

"Leave."

"Princess Celine." Nicole, daughter of Euterpe, said. "I have news for you. Princess Aicelyn is no longer allowed to set foot on Demigods Academy."

"And you believe that shit—"

"And do you want to know the reason?" Nicole smirked.

Celine looked at her curiously, "Reason?"

"Your cousin is the holder of the crystal blue eyes."

"She has the Great Prophecy... the demigod that can achieve the ethereal or eradication..." Celine whispered. She unconsciously bit her nails as she looks at her companions.

"Then, is she back in the Ceru—"

Dylan silences her using his index finger, "She was killed by Queen Freya."

"No way. Queen Savannah will be hysteri—"

"She permitted Queen Freya to eliminate Princess Aicelyn," Dylan said.

Celine looked at them with disbelief, "Hindi ako naniniwala."

"Do you want me to show you what happened?" Dylan meaningfully asked.

"Show me then,"

"What are we doing here?" Aizelle asked. They are summoned in front of the Artificial Dim Forest. Master Garet and Madam Stone were standing before them with authority lingering around them.

"I will train you using this training ground that I've created," Garet said. Serena gave him a puzzled look as she raised her hand, "I don't know if I'm mali or what. As far as I know, Satyrs are the ones who make ensayo to the demigods."

Tumikhim si Madam Stone, "Right. Jackson is doing a special quest right now. And Garet will be in charge of training you."

"What about you, Madam Stone?" Aizen asked.

Madam Stone sadly smiled, "It is the time of the month..." she said. She glances at Garet and looked at him meaningfully, "This is the month when my best friend vanished. And now even my favorite demigod is gone... Do you think I can help you with your battle when I can't even face my own?"

"What do you mean by gone?" Sue asked.

"She met her end," Phoenix answered her. Kabado siyang nilingon ni Sue at nag-antay nang susunod niya pang sasabihin, "Philomena said that Queen Savannah permitted Queen Freya to eliminate her,"

"Philomena? You mean the princess of the Sun—"

"Yes, Serena. Don't bother to ask him other questions," Sky interrupted.

"What is the purpose of this training?" Light asked.

Nang tumikhim si Garet ay napunta sa kanya ang atensyon ng Primus Section, "Even if the chosen demigod is gone... the Winter Solstice will still come,"

"Wait. What made you think that we will win this war if you eliminate Ice—"

Light didn't finish his words when Garet looked at him with authority that made him flinch, "Do you think that we didn't make huge sacrifices when we built this Academy? To achieve whatever we have right now? Then, you're wrong. You don't know our story. So, don't doubt our choices because we know what we are doing."

Lahat sila ay napaiwas nang tingin dahil sa sinambit ni Garet, "Then, train us." Sky languidly said.

"Very well," Garet snapped his fingers. The seven demigods were teleported and scattered inside the Artificial Dim Forest.

They all summoned their weapons. Sky with his Mystical Water Sword. Aizelle with her Legendary Bow. Aizen with the sword given by the Eros and Psyche. Serena with her twin guns.

While Light and Phoenix remained empty-handed. And Sue made a sword using her thunder.

Garet was watching his students using the camera installed in the Dim Forest. As he watches them on the screen he noticed the flaws of his students.

He waited until they all eliminated the monsters. And when they arrived in his front, "Serena, don't just depend on your Royal Gift. Use your blessing too." Garet beamed that made her winced.

"Phoenix and Sue. I will give you a weapon." Garet said. He handed a sword to Phoenix, it has a thin and pointed blade that radiates the color of the sun and its hilt was colored-black with two side rings. "Phoebus Zweihander," Garet said, "A gift from your father."

"And this is for you, Sue." Garet handed her a dark brown cylindrical tube. Sue quizzically looked at him when all of a sudden it became a whip. It possesses the brilliant light of the thunder and on the outer part of it was little thunders circulating in the whip. "A gift from Zeus."

Tumingin si Garet kay Light at ngumiti, "Your mom didn't give me anything because she said that she will personally hand it to you," Light just shrugged as if he didn't care at all.

"Aizelle, you have awkward and unsteady footing. You should practice it. And Aizen, I don't know if you know that your sword is known as the Bandit Sword. But please, release its real appearance and it will help you more with your battles. And Skyler, focus on the things we are facing right now." Garet reminded.

When they all stayed silent, Garet left them without saying goodbye. Sky heaved a sigh. He was about to speak when they heard an explosion nearby and all of a sudden the stems of the flowers suddenly moved and wrote something.

"Thank you for eliminating Aicelyn." After that, the flowers withered.

Sue was fast enough to notice the unfamiliar figure near them. She chased the person wearing a black cloak without asking for her friends' help. She zapped its left foot that made the unfamiliar figure halted on her tracks, "Who are you?"

The unfamiliar figure slowly turned her head as she removed her cloak, and showed the mischievous grin she was wearing. "It's sad that you forgot my name."

"Celine,"

"Well, I just wanted to thank the Primus Section for letting Queen Freya kill my cousin." Celine laughed. Sue was about to speak when the ground suddenly ate Celine.

"SUE!" someone shouted. She was still in a state of shock.

"Sue!" Phoenix called as he grabbed Sue's arm. Tila bumalik sa reyalidad si Sue dahil sa ginawa ni Phoenix, "What was that?"

"I saw Celine," Sue mumbled. Everyone gave her a puzzled look.

"Celine who?" Light asked.

"Ice's cousin,"

"What is your ibig sabihin with that, Sue? You mean ba is Celine Salvante?" Serena asked. Sue nodded which made Serena think hard.

"Ano namang gagawin niya rito?" Sky asked.

"Don't you remember her, Sky? Phoenix? Isa siya sa mga nakalaban natin papunta sa Mt. Seraphyl." Sue said. Parehas umiling sina Sky at Phoenix kay Sue.

Phoenix cleared his throat, "Sue, we only faced Dylan and Nicole." he said. Sue quizzically looked at him with a hint of disbelief.

"Sue, stop this madness of yours. Ice is dead. Don't blame other demigods who were not part of this mess. Fuckin' remember that she is dead, and the others look at her as a traitor of the Olympians. Just like someone you knew," Aizelle beamed. She looked at her friends with disbelief, yet she meant all of her words. And last time she rolled her eyes to Sue and left them.

"Mahal na reyna, mahal na reyna. Saan po kayo pupunta? Saan po kayo pupunta?" Tulips asked, the red fairy. Tulips was looking to Freya as she smiles to her reflection. Freya with a disguise of a human. She has a long brown wavy hair with hazelnut orbs,"Bakit kayo nagkatawang tao? Bakit kayo nagkatawang tao?"

"I have a special mission." Freya smiled. "Tulips and Lavander, manage the Mt. Seraphyl while I'm gone." she left the two fairies inside her room.

She was walking with elegance as she soared the lowest floor. She was walking in the mirky pathway with diamond-like torches lighting the place. She halted when she reached the end, a golden door was in her front. Specks of Pixie dust with the colors of the rainbow were guarding it.

She swayed her hand, the rainbow pixie dust began to merge and becomes a key. And as the door opens, a beautiful maiden that possesses the crystal blue eyes welcomed her.

"Princess Aicelyn."
