Chapter 28

The time travelers

Buong akala ko'y ang mga mapanlinlang na mga diyosa, ang pitong nasa trono, si Diyosa Eda at ang tumatakbong panahon ang siyang tanging kahaharapin naming magkakapatid, ngunit mukhang nagkamali ako.

Because the past isn't just all about the seven high thrones. Ito man ang siyang puso ng kasaysayan ng Nemetio Spiran, ang bawat detalye nito, maliit man o malaki'y may ambag din sa hinaharap.

Ang bawat nilalang na nakaupo sa pitong trono'y tila isang uri ng punong may napakaraming ugat... mga koneksyon at isa na rito si Quazello.

In our era, vampires are forbidden to dig further about what happened to the seven high thrones. Vampires with high status in the society only had one piece of information, and it is King Clamberge III's greatness.

Ngunit sa kabila ng kakaibang besyong ipinamumulat ng salinlahi ng mga bampira, sa likuran ng bawat leksyon ay ang inaakala nilang katotohanan—na pilit lamang pinaganda upang mapanatiling mataas ang imahe ng mga bampira.

Clamberge III's supposed greatness became a laughing stock of the shattered empire.

Kahit kaming magkakapatid ay hindi pinayuhan ng mga punong konseho na higit na alamin pa ang nakaraan, maging si ama'y ganoon din ang ipinamulat sa kanya. Ngunit masasabi kong hindi mararating ni ama ang walang katapusang paghanga sa kanya ng iba't ibang lahi kung siya'y nabuhay na hinahayaang may nagdidikta sa kanya.

King Thaddeus Leighton Gazellian's stubbornness led to his endless life discoveries. At hindi niya iyon hinayaang manatili lang sa kanya.

Our father led us on this journey. His statue brought us here to realize a lot of things before we finally faced the biggest war in the history of Nemetio Spiran.

I didn't know that little by little, all those unanswered questions that he left as I grew up with his wisdom and puzzles were now starting to get clearer like his hundreds of paintings from afar. At first, it was just a mixture of colors, but as I stepped closer, visions of his masterpieces were overwhelming my eyes.

This is the last mission he had prepared for us. The last mission, where we could find all the answers to his questions.

Nanatiling nagsusukatan ang aming mga tingin ni Albino. He looked like he's about to strangle my neck. But I stood still and continued my façade with this stupid warm smile and light personality.

Ngunit agad rin nawala ang tensyon sa pagitan namin nang muling agawin ng matandang bampira ang atensyon ng lahat.

"Nagkaroon ng kaunting pagbabago sa oras ng pagsisimula ng pagdiriwang." Anunsyo niya.

Saglit kong pinagsalikop ang aking dalawang kamay sa aking likuran at hantaran kong sinilip ang matandang babae sa likuran ni Albino.

"Kung ganoon ay maghihintay pa kami? Hmm..." I said like an idiot weak vampire.

I knew this wouldn't work for some creatures here inside. Mga manananghal man sila mula sa iba't ibang lahi, hindi ito hadlang upang malaman nila ang huwad sa tunay.

Albino Rigidon Quazello is one of them.

But this is one of our father's advice. When you're in a foreign place, try to act like a fool, and observe everything. And when they're about to lure you... show your fangs.

I thought his advice was literal before. We'll hide our identity, and once that we'd discover everything, then we'll reveal that we are vampires. I was young, and think as simple as that. But as I grew up, I'd soon realize that our father's advice was way much deeper than we thought.
