New Light! [ Taglish ]

5 - [ Zia's Awakening ]

este, bibisita muna sila sa mga grocery stores para kumuha ng mga delata at mga kagamitan habang pinapaslang ni White ang mga halimaw na umaaligid sa kanilang dinadaanan bago bumalik sa kanilang kubo.

The calming sound of crickets makes the chaotic world seem unreal.

The sound of trees swaying from the blissful breeze of the wind makes the apocalyptic world seem surreal.

Mula sa isang kubo, sa gitna ng kagubatan, na kung saan ang tanging pinagmumulan ng liwanag ay isang munting kandila lamang sa kailaliman ng gabi.

Doon masisilayan ang magkapatid na kumakain ng matiwasay habang nag uusap ng masinsinan sa kung ano na ang magiging plano nila sa hinaharap after the world drastically changed.

Like literally, their life was flipped over from a normal world where scientific discovery blooms and peaceful days reigns, to a world where mysterious creatures run amok and threaten their very lives.

"Naiintindihan mo ba?" White made certain that his sister comprehended everything he stated since he himself had already experienced it.

"Opo..." Zia meekly answered. Her eyes were full of anxiety and uncertainty, but this is the only option she has.

"Also..I just wish na sana hindi magkatotoo ang iba mong hypothesis gaya ng... "

White, sensing her concern, interrupted her before she finished her statement and softly stated, "Wag kang mag alala, you have me okay?"

White then softly placed his hand on the top of her head and said, "I won't let anyone or anything harm or take you away from me." while smiling warmly.

Zia finally relaxed and smiled as a result of his comfort and reassurance.

"So!" White enthusiastically asked, "Ready ka na ba sa awakening mo?"

"Wanamanyesofcourse!" Zia's pupils suddenly change into radiant stars, and her eyes glitter with excitement as she replies enthusiastically.

"And also, these are Superpowers you know? What if maging 'Magician' ako kagaya nung sa laro na nilalaro natin? Saya siguro nun! Titirahin ko mga mukha nila mula sa malayo! Like Bam! Pew-Pew! "

The sparkle in her eyes faded suddenly, like a child that had been plucked away from its family's embrace.

"And I wanna get stronger too...ikaw nalang meron ako... I don't want to lose you too..." Zia uttered, almost burst out crying.

When White saw this, he quickly embraced her. " I don't wanna lose you too. Let's get stronger together. " and reassures her again until she calms down.

'Really this girl...Napapa question nalang talaga ako sa mentality ng mga babae minsan dahil sa mood swings nya e.'

White chuckles with these thoughts in mind as he gently stands up after cleaning the table.

Dahil sa walang sawang suporta niya ay ngayo'y nagkaroon ng lakas ng loob si Zia na pindutin ang [ •YES• ] button na nasa floating panel.

Nagsimula na ang awakening process at maiging binabantayan ngayon ni White just incase na may aaligit na monsters sa kanila. He also wished her good luck.

10 minutes have passed since then...

Habang ina-analyze ni White lahat ng pwede niyang malaman sa Status Window, nahagilap ng kanyang paningin ang pag paggalaw ng mga daliri ni Zia.

Ito'y nagpapahiwatig na nagkakamalay na ang kapatid nya.

As he hears some grunts and groans coming from her direction, White mumbles "Looks like the awakening succeeded."
