The Elven Round (COMPLETED)

Chapter 1:

Euclid Astral Gemini

I looked at each one of them dumfounded. Ano bang missing piece-missing piece kuno? They are confusing me.

"But before she meet the round table, please sire, kung maaari, please let her take a bath. We don't want her stepping in the Moon Academy like that, do we?" Tumitikhim na sabi ni Leo which made me roll my eyes. Parang ang dumi-dumi kong tao ah? Well, he's partly right. Panglimang araw ko na ata itong walang ligo—But I don't smell! I'm just dirty! Hinihintay ko kasi ang mga magnanakaw na iyon na dumaan muna (refer to chapter 1). They might caught me naked, bathing on the deep waters of that river.

Babae padin ako 'noh!

"Well, I'm sure you can do that Loki?" Tanong naman ng hari. Loki at my side looked at me as if I was the most dirtiest thing. Now, mas malupit pa ito sa sinabi ni Leo. He uttered no words but conveyed completely na ang dumi ko.

I looked at what I'm wearing.

An old army's man clothes. Ninakaw ko lang din naman kasi ito. So much for being poor. Bukod pa doon ay sigurado akong puno ng putik ang aking mukha at sabog ang aking buhok.

I heard my stomach grumbled which made the King laugh, habang ako naman ay hiyang-hiya na. Oh damn. Mangnanakaw ako, but I've got shame too!

"Yes, I should clean him up." Naiiling nalang na sabi ni Loki, though I can still feel him a li'l bit hesitant.

"Good! And after, meet us for food. I'll ready everything at the school caft. You know what to do." Kris winked at me and at Loki. Napakibit balikat na lamang ako. Happy to have me cleaned and a nice meal after five days of poverty and starvation.

"Let's?" Leo asked Kris. Agad naman silang tumalikod. I even saw Leo looked back at Loki and bleehed at him. Childish, really.

"So? When do we start?" I asked Loki, with a smile stretched from ear to ear. Baby, I'm excited for my hot bath!

"You do know that your mouth smells bad, don't you?" Bigla n'yang inis na sabi. So ayaw n'ya akong kausap? Well sorry, I was talkative. I haven't even talked to anyone since my last fight.
Which were all full of statements like 'die' or 'please spare me'.

Sinubukan ko namang itaas ang braso ko at palad upang huminga doon. Well yeah, amoy panis na laway nga. Ambaho! Hell! Parang hindi ako babae.

Napatingin naman ako sa dangling chandelier na nakasabit sa may itaas ng hallway. If only I can bring it with me. Kay saya noon! I would love to steal and sell all of 'em! Then, I'll buy a house, and uhmm... have a nice warm bath whilst chewing delicious food. "And please return those diamonds and aquamarines you stole from Blade. I don't want them missing."

Ngayon naman ay ako ang napairap. Sinisira n'ya ang imagination ko! "Now you're the one being talkative."

Muli akong sinamaan ng tingin ni Loki. "Again, brush first." Na sinagot ko muli ng isang irap. I am slowly hating everything about him. "And you are the one being talkative. So stop it. You're starting to make me guess that you are gay."

"Me? gay?" Nanlalaking mata kong saad. Napatingin naman ako sa isang napakakintab na pader at tiningnan ang repleksyon ko.

Sadya bang hindi na ako mukhang babae? I shivered when I saw myself. Mukha talaga akong matandang ermitanyong nalipasan na ng panahon. First off all, dahil sa napakadumi kong mukha. I shrugged off. Hindi ko s'ya masisisi.
