"Yeah," Last year we decided to take a break first before opening our secret quest which is discovering the Ashana Kingdom.

Ate Natali also tried to find some informations but all she could find is a same thing. It was a Kingdom with peaceful life until a incident happened an unexpected event that turns the kingdom into a ugly one kaya wala na daw na tumitira doon. Other books says it was cursed by someone but we still don't know what is true.

"I think... We need to find a book of History containing informations about the kingdom."

"Natalia already did. She found nothing."

"Have she checked the forbidden area?"

"No. We can't risk."

"Public Libraries?"

"Let's try."

Mahina lang kaming nagbubulungan dahil baka marinig kami sa harap.

Nag bell na kaya pumunta na kami sa susunod na klase namin.

If he open that. I don't know where we should start. We can't get enough information about the Kingdom for us to start a new move.

"They move the Leveling," Tumabi samin si Ate Natalia.

"Again?"

"Yeah. Next week na," Naglakad na sya palampas samin ni Aljay. Aljay's arm is around my waist while his other hand is inside his pocket. Nakasanayan nyang ganyan.

Buong umaga naming kasama ang Fudo class. I didn't see Trev then I heard them whispering that he's on  the mission.

Nang hapon ay nag training lang ulit kami. Kuya Drake is trying to reach the next level of his power while the others is trying to improve their powers.

While me? I'm trying to control big attacks. Having Dark as your magic is also useful. I can see in Dark. I can make a room Dark and control someone in the Dark. I can kill someone in the Dark.

I can also use common attacks like Dark balls. Dark knives and so on.

And because my Mom is the late Princess of Dark Kingdom, I also can control a person's shadow. Just the shadow not the person but they will still feel the pain.

I already can control the basics and I'm taking my power to the next level.

Nasa gitna ako ng training room habang nasa gilid lang yung Iba. They're considerate. They knew that my powers will explode if I don't control it correctly and I need a wide space that's why they give me a wide space.

Right now, I need to do is absorb the Darkness. Pinatay nila yung Ilaw sa bahagi ko habang bukas Yung sa dulo. Bale nahati sa tatlo yung training room. Nasa gitna ako.

Tinaas ko yung kamay ko habang naka spread. Naka label lang sya sa may taas ng bewang ko. Pumikit ako habang nagko-concentrate.

Naramdaman kong unti-unting ngkakaroon ng Dark sa kamay ko kaya tinuloy ko lang. I absorb the Darkness while the light is starting to eat my area.

Darkness. The absence of light.

Just when I thought I can absorb them all, unexpectedly my powers exploded.

"ARGH!" I groaned. Tumilapon din ako sa may harang namin. Pang-ilang beses ko na ba sinubukan ulit?

Sumandal na lang ako sa harang namin at hindi na umulit. Nakakapagod.

"Hey."

"You did well," Aljay sat beside me and stroke my hair gently. He did that for a minute until I lay down on his lap.

"I can't control it. I've been trying for Days!" Simula nung makabalik ako dito nag train na ako sa sariling training room ng Imiza na pumalit doon sa Illusion room dahik hindi naman namin ginagamit.

And the results is same thing... Failed.

"There's plenty of time in the world, Ashianna. You'll control it one day, I'm sure."

Nanatili kami sa ganong position habang hinihimas nya ng bahagya yung buhok ko. Oh wait I forgot to tell you.

My Mom dragged me last week into some spa and parlor. Pinaayos nya yung buhok ko na akala mo naman hindi maayos.

Baka sa susunod ipa-iba nya yung kulay ng buhok ko.

"Keep trying, Mi Reina. Someday, you'll control it greatly," I sigh. Can that someday be tomorrow? Or next week?

The longer that I can't control my magic, more opportunity for the Darks to attack me at my weakest point.

Darkenia is smart. They knew when to attack or take advantage of situation.

Nevermind. The agreement did but us time to get ready. But why do I feel we're not?

We stayed in that position for long. I don't know how long because I fell asleep.

Nagising na lang ako na nasa kwarto na at nasa tabi ko si Moonlight.

"Hi, Moonlight!" Kahit natutulog ito ay kinuha ko sya at nilagay sa lap ko.

"Sarap ng buhay mo dito ah!" Hinaplos-haplos ko ang ulo nito. Masarap parin ang tulog nya.

"How is she?"

"Fine I guess. She just fell asleep earlier because she's already exhausted."

"She's struggling, aren't she?"

"Yeah. She's being hard to herself. It's only the first day of school yet she wants to control it as soon as possible."

Maingat kong nilapag si Moonlight sa kama at hindi gumawa ng ingay. Nanatiling tahimik ako habang nakikinig sa labas.

It was Aljay and Ate Natalia.

"Aljay, Ashianna might not be smart as you but... Her own intelligence is unique. She maybe knows something we don't."

"I know."

"Her actions always have a reasons, Aljay. They might not know it but I know. Just trust her."

"I'm just worried about her. She fainted, Natalia. She fainted. What about the next days? She might fainted again."

I heard Ate Natalia sigh.

"We don't know, Jay. For now, trust your girl. She's more capable that we thought."

After that there's a silence. Mukang tapos na sila mag-usap.

Agad akong humiga sa kama ko at nagpanggap na tulog ng marinig ko ang pagbukas ng pinto.

Ilang sandali pa ay naramdaman kong may umupo sa kama ko.

"You're still sleeping. You haven't eaten dinner," It was Aljay. He held my hand and give me a soft kiss in my forehead.

"Sleep tight."

He release my hand. Naramdaman ko na lang na tumayo sya at pumunta kung saan.

I heard the door. Aalis na sya?

"I'll eat dinner later. Ashianna's still asleep, don't bother her anymore. We'll eat if she's already awake," I heard the faint sound of Max's voice.

After a seconds, naramdaman kong kinuha nya si Moonlight. Then he laid down at my bed and hugged me.

"Let's sleep, Mi Reina."
