Journey To Agartha

Chapter 19

"Feel the ground. Focus and think about your next destination." He carefully said.

I am still on my feet. Trying to feel the ground on my foot. It was warm, okay? And I don't think I can stay like this, standing, closed eyes and trying to put my focus on something. I'm already anxious around me! What if Zeus leave me here?

"I can't. I'm always loosing focus." I whispered.

Beads of sweat were nor forming on my forehead. I bit my lip and grip tightly. I have to draught, I need to draught so I won't be a burden anymore everytime they have expedition.

"Think about your secret wish. Think about the race track." He urged me.

Out of the blue, my systems were awoken. Widened eyes, I turned to him. How the hell did he---

"Aw!." He snapped my forehead.

Late to react and be sloppy. I massaged my forehead as I am whining. How did he know about my secret wish as a racer? I mean, I am a fan of F1 racing. I stumbled on some of it's clips on Youtube and I get mesmerized about it. It's just so cool.

"Focus." He said.

Frowning, I returned on my feet. Ipinikit ko muli ang mga mata ko. Kahit mahirap ay pinilit kong burahin lahat ng nasa utak ko. I focused on the dimness around. I listened. I waited patiently. Pati ang kasama ko ay tahimik na.

I inhaled gently. Ang lamig ng hangin ay tuma tama sa aking hita. Ramdam ko ang laylayan ng aking dress na bahagyang lumilipad dahil sa hangin. Just so I thought, I need to think of my destination. Kamuntikan ko pang buksan ang aming mindlink.

I need to focus.

Seconds later, I can feel my body being lifted on a thin air. Dahil sa biglaang naramdaman ay idinilat ko ang mga mata ko. Napatili ako ng makita ko ang sobrang bilis na nang pag takbo ko. Halos hindi ko na mahinuha ang itsura ng paligid. But as long as I can see green, I'm draughting inside the forest.

Maya maya ay narinig ko ang palapit na boses ni Zeus.

"Lorietta, slow down!!." He yelled.

Panting, I looked at him. Sinusubukan niyang pantayan ang bilis ko. I tried slowing down but all I felt was tripping down. Hindi ko mapigilan ang paa ko dahil kung ititigil ko ay madadala ako at hahampas ako malamang sa kung anong madadaanan!

"Help! Zeus, I'm gonna trip if I slow down!." I yelled.

I heard him groaned and hurriedly striked some lightning in front of us. Tuloy tuloy parin ako sa pagtakbo. Just when I thought, Zeus are calling for some help ay bigla niya akong niyapos.

Ang pagsasanib ng aming katawan sa hangin ay nagdulot ng isang malakas na pag sabog. Mariin kong ipinikit ang aking mga mata at yumakap ng mahigpit kay Zeus. Seconds later, we are now descending to the ground. Ang paghampas ng katawan niya sa lupa ay indikasyon na pinipilit niyang hindi kami umikot at mapanatili ako sa taas niya. Protecting me at all cost.

Nang maging tahimik ang paligid ay idinilat ko ang mga mata ko. Soft grunts were from him samantalang ako ay hingal na hingal. Agad akong umalis sa pagkakayakap sa kaniya. He let me go easily.

"Zeus! Oh my god!." I screamed.

I looked at him. Sa tingin palang ay alam ko nang nasaktan siya ng husto. The impact was too strong. Grabe ang pag bagsak ng katawan niya kanina. And all force were for his back. Dahil naka dagan ako sa kaniya. He didn't let me off.

"L-lorietta, are you okay?." He whispered through the pain.

"Damn you! Stop worrying about me! Dammit!." I said trying to hold him but every time I am touching him elsewhere, he's grunting.
