LYNX

Nasa'n ako? Bakit ako nandito?

I'm not a book worm. It's a strange thing to have a dream like this. I am now seeing myself. May kapanyarihan ako. I'm wearing a strane white silk dress, surrounded with golden linings on the edges of it. There's a glittery silver on my hand and I don't know what it is. I tried moving my feet to take at least a single step but it won't let me. As if my legs are telling me to stay still and watch.

"Not now, but sooner Queen Aphrodite... I will be home..." Mas lalong lumiwanag ang nasa kamay ko na kulay silver.

Lumipat ang tingin ko sa tinawag kong Aphrodite.

Familiarity washed over me. She's elegantly beautiful. She's wearing the same silk dress as mine but she looks more sophisticated at the same time, more delicate than me. Her dress does scream power and authority unlike mine. I suddenly felt the urge to bow down amidst the warmth that surrounds.

I met her eyes. It's glowing with green glittery pigment. It's was too mesmerizing to look at. It's intoxicating. "Dumating na ang susundo sa'yo, Athena. You'll be home soon..."

Athena?

I'm Athena?

No...that's not my name.

NAPABALIKWAS ako ng bangon habang hinihingal. Napahawak ako sa dibdib ko at napalinga sa paligid. Nasa kwarto ako at mag-isa lang. Isang malakas na buntong hininga ang pinakawalan ko bago ako tuluyang kumalma dahil sa panaginip ko.

It has always been like this. I dream of people I don't know. They're being surrounded with lightings. A glittery. A glowing one, but whenever I wake up, I can't remember. It was too rare to remember even a thing. All is left was some strange emotion inside me.

Hindi ko maintindihan ang sarili ko. Simula bata pa lang ako, ito na ang napapanaginipan ko tuwing matutulog ako, at palagi nalang akong magigising ng hinihingal at naiiwang nagtatakha sa kung anong mayroon.

NANG tuluyan na akong kumalma ay umimbis na ako. Dumiretso na ako sa CR at naligo para ihanda ang sarili ko sa pagpasok. Mas nauna na naman akong nagising sa alarm clock ko na madalas namang nangyayari.

Nang matapos ako ay humarap ako sa salamin para ayusin ang sarili ko. I painted my lips with black pigment. The features of my face immediately turned tough. My dark green eyes complimented my black lipstick. I put a minimal eye brow liner, a face powder, and a small silver earring, after that, I changed my clothes.

Tanging tank top na puti ang isinuot ko. Pinatungan ko 'yon ng isang denim na jacket, kasabay ng isang skinny na pantalon at converse shoes na puti.Nang maayos ko na ang sarili ko ay bumaba na. I grabbed something to eat until my phone rang.

It was Hydra. Mabilis kong sinagot ang tawag. Ipinagpatuloy ko ang pagbaba sa hagdan.

"Hey, Hydra."

"Don't come to your first class. Sa quarters ka tumuloy."

"Why? May exam ako sa first class ko." Naka-kunot na sabi ko kahit alam kong hindi iyon pakikingan ni Hydra. I really hate not taking my exams despite of my connections from my work. That's just so unfair.
