Oxzoria Academy: The Heart of Zaronaria

Chapter Fourteen

Harper's POV

Nakailang tingin na ako sa sarili sa salamin at hanggang ngayon ay wala pa ding balak na lumabas ng kwarto.

Napanguso ako habang tinitignan uli ang sarili sa salamin. This is now the day! The day wher we will be judged by our magic and our abilities and my heart won't stop from beating faster.

"Relax Harper" rinig kong saad ni Ciana. Pinagmasdan ko ang sarili ko.

Each one of us were given clothes for the battle. Magkapareho lamang kami ng sout ngunit iba't-ibang kulay. Mine was sleeveless wrapped dress na pinaghalong kulay ng light blue, gold, at dark green.

Sa ibaba ng skirt ay mga bulaklak. It has its own belt wrapped in my waste and it's color is gold. Para kaming nabibilang sa isang tribo dahil sa sout namin at sa mga araw na nakaukit dito.

I also braided my hair into a bun so that it'll look clean pero kahit anong gawin ko ay may tumatakas pa rin na hibla ng buhok ko sa gilid ng aking pisnge kaya pinabayaan kona lamang ito.

"Harper. Let's go. You've been there for too long" rinig kong katok ni Jerra. Napabuntong hininga ako habang hindi pa rin tinatanggal ang tingin sa sarili sa salamin

"You'll do great your Majesty. Im sure of it. With or without any magic" Ciana cheered me up. Marahas ko siyang nilingon.

"Bakit kasi hindi ko nalang pwedeng gamitin ang wand!?"

Ilang araw akong nagsasanay at halos hindi na nga ako pumapasok ng skwela at uma-attend sa trainings namin dahil mas pinili ko ang pagsasanay gamit ang wand.

Marami na akong natutunang spells sa nagdaang araw ng pagsasanay namin. Tuwing gabi, kapag tulog na si Ciana, ay pasekreto kong ginagamit ang book of spells at ang wand kaya masasabi kong handa na ako upang gamitin ito ngunit ayaw niyang malaman ng lahat na nasa kamay ko ang wand.

"The world isn't yet ready to know the new owner of the wand. It's too risky" aniya. Paulit ulit na niya itong pinapaintindi saakin ngunit kahit anong gawin niya, is I still don't get her point!

"You've been repeating that!" Saad ko. Napabuntong hininga siya. Getting annoyed at me.

"You're Majesty. You are not fully ready to use that wand! Did you think I didn't know, that you've been secretly using the wand and the book when Im asleep?" I was taken aback of her revelation.

Alam niya pala? Bakit hindi siya nagsalita o pagalitan ako? Instead, she let me do it by myself!!

"You wouldn't like it if I get mad Your Majesty, that's why as much as possible I tried to be calm even though you're a bit of annoying as the owner of the wand" seryoso niyang sabi na para bang nabasa ang mga sinasabi ko sa utak.

"Im sure that you're aware of the people who's thirsty for the power of the wand?"

"Enemies are lurking over the darkness to get that wand. To use it's power. what will happen if they find out that the wand is now in the hands of a weak owner?"

Ouch.

Medyo nasaktan ako sa sinabi niya.

"I-Im n-not...w-weak!!" Nauutal kong dipensa.

"You're being emotional. Show it or not but you are weak and I very know your weakness" banta niya.

"I hope you understand now why  you shouldn't let anyone know about the wand...yet"

Dahan dahan ako napatango.

"Harper!" Nilingon ko ang pintuan ng marinig si Jerra.
