Rise Of the Constellations [COMPLETED]

PROLOGUE

Prologue

A huge demon's sleeping face is slowly peeking through the clouds. Beasts and monsters escaped the moment it opened up its huge mouth.

The devil's hand forcefully comes out ripping the sky.

It slowly opened its eyes; whoever made eye contact with it was petrified and could be controlled. It slowly gained a human form and walked to the land surface. Creating mayhem in the human world and becoming a giant walking havoc, killing people.

Thousands of humongous flaming stones are coming down from the sky. Someone turned them into small pieces of meteor showers to unharmed humans.

The world was on the verge of destruction when he came.

"PURGE."

A striking light came out of his fingertip. It was directed towards the walking devil that continuously destroyed the land of mortals.

A huge energy wave was created in the sky after the collision of their power.

I opened my eyes.

What a strange dream. It felt so real.

Tulala akong nakasandal ang ulo sa bintana ng sasakyan. Tiningnan ang mga nagliliwanag na gusali habang nasa skyway kami palabas ng metro.

"Miss Blake, your father has called. Your brother's birthday is coming soon, and the chairman wants you to attend the celebration. I believe that the Chairman will introduce your prospect." Johanes, my driver as well as my bodyguard said.

I scoff in disbelief.

"Do I look like wanting to celebrate anything and meet up with someone at this moment?" Iritado kong anas.

Kagagaling lang namin sa hospital.

"...and also correlate your symptoms with the result of your MRI scans. You told me to speak frankly, Miss Blake, so I will. It's too late to get an operation or treatment at this late stage of brain cancer; the tumors spread all over your brain, and the chance for a successful operation and rate of your survival after the procedure is quite low. Not even five percent. Let us say that we succeeded. However, you could no longer live the way you are living your life now, but that could prolong your life expectancy. I'm terribly sorry. The decision is yours to make but don't be too late."

I sighed as I clenched my fist. Hindi ko alam kung anong emosyon ang dapat mangibabaw sa akin ngayon, but whether I would be angry or felt sorrow, the fact that I only have few months to live will not change.

"You should retire few months from now, Johanes," I said calmly.

He has been with me since I was a child as my bodyguard. He has his own family yet he still serves me until now that I'm thirty. Johanes will retire next year when he turns fifty. I told him so. It's his time to enjoy half of his remaining life span, not dedicating it to other person but to his family.

"Miss, you should never say that!"

Mapait na napangiti ako. He's more like a father figure to me than my own father, who forgot that his daughter also exists in this world when not needed. I'm alright leaving this life, but when I look at this old man in front of me, It's kinda sad leaving him.

"What happened in the hospital would remain between the two of us." Saad ko pa. No one really cares about it. They will only blame me for neglecting my health.

Hindi ako makatulog nang gabing iyon, kaya naglakad lakad na muna ako sa garden sa likod ng mansion. All the lights are on. Naririnig ko ang ingay ng mga kulilig nang biglang humangin ng malakas. Napapikit ako ng mariin kasabay ng pagyakap ko sa sarili dahil sa lamig na dulot niyon.

But when I opened my eyes, It was a different scenery that I saw. Suddenly everything changed, from a night, now all I see is autumn leaves falling from dried trees and some of them are being blown towards me by the cold autumn wind.

Then I saw a man standing in the middle of an unpaved road; in the middle of those orange trees. He smiled at me.

My forehead knotted. Is he...real?

"Miss! Miss, ayos lang kayo?"

Napahawak ako sa ulo ko dahil ngayon ko lang naramdaman ang sakit niyon. Nag angat ako ng tingin at nakita ko ang isang babaeng naka maid's uniform. Hawak na niya ang balikat ko, sinusuportahan ang nanghihina kong katawan.

"Who...are you?" I confusely ask.

"Lara miss,ang head maid sa mansyon na ito."

"What about Raldine?" kunot noo kong tanong.

"Wala na siya miss Blake, mukang nakalimutan niyo po pero pumanaw na siya six years ago." saad niya. I confusely look at her for a second, trying to read if she's telling the truth but it seems that she is.

But it's just yesterday that Raldine told me she would bake me--

"Ha...HAHAHA!" I laugh. This ain't even funny. This whole thing is ridiculous!

I just hallucinated. I frequently experience that. Sometimes, I'll be forgetful and fail to recognize anyone.

Wala sa sariling nakatayo lang ako sa gitna ng sariling kuwarto. I'm even too tired to think. I can't grasp anything.

"I'm dying he say? Hah!" I scoffed.

Did he not know that bad grass stays in the wild forever?

I was about to step into the bed when my head suddenly hurt like nothing before. Kinisap kisap ko ang mga mata ko na unti unting nanlalabo dahil sa nararamdamang sobrang sakit.

What is happening? I feel nauseated.

Napasalampak ako sa sahig. I could not bare the pain any longer.

I feel the rest of my upper body fall onto the cold floor, and suddenly, everything turned black...into nothingness.

And suddenly-

There is light. I opened my eyes and looked around.

Where am I? Why does the room look strange? Mine was beige, and a hospital's would be white, but it's a strange yet exquisite and intricate Renaissance interior design.

"MONTAHISA! MAKE HASTE! THE CARRIAGE IS HERE!"

Napalingon ako sa boses mula sa labas ng pinto.
