Chapter 48 : Conquered

SEREL

Isang panibagong araw ng paghihirap ko na naman. I'm always wondering why am I being kept here aside from the reason that they wanted my ability of writing. It feels like I am locked in the world. When did I last saw light? the sun? or the hope.

Slowly as the day passed, I am loosing ng fate that they will get me out of here. It's hellish here. I am suffering too much. I just wanted to live a normal life but why do they gave me a roller coaster ride life?

I suddenly want to question my living. Did my mother brought me in this world to suffer? It's just hard to understand why am I going all of these. I'm just being kind for accompanying the old lady to her house but I ended up entering the world where I belong. Do I even belong here?

When I came here, all I brought was chaos. Fight. And now... It feels like I wanted to end my life for bringing such disgrace.

Maybe it's true that once you found yourself in the dark, your thoughts will eat you slowly.

I sighed and layed on the cold ground in this dungeon. Siguro kahit papaano ay swerte ako dahil nandiyan si Malliyah. Nagdadala ito ng pagkain saakin. Maybe without her, I wont survive here. She's also like a friend to me. Funny how I made a friendship in my darkest hours.

I heard footsteps coming, hindi na ako naglakas loob mag angat ng tingin kung sino iyon dahil wala akong gana. Nang hihina na ako sa ilang araw na pamamalagi ko rito.

Mas lumapit pa ang mga yapak ng paa papunta sa akin. Nagtaka ako ng biglang tumigil iyon at namayani ang katahimikan sa lugar kung nasaan ako. Out of my curiosity, I looked up and saw a lady in front of me. She's not familiar.

"Who are you?" I asked and stood up.

"The darkness will conquer this world." She started to speak.

"Huh?" Gulo kong tanong dito ngunit parang wala 'man lamang itong narinig.

"Sino ka ba? paano ka nakapasok dito?" Muli kong tanong at iginala ang paningin sa buong paligid.

"I am the horoscope. And your journey that leads to your fate will start now." Her voice echoed in my mind. Tila nabingi ako matapos niyang sabihin iyon. Nanikip ang dibdib ko.

"A-Anong ibig mong sabihin?" Nanghihina kong tanong dito.

"Dadanak ang dugo at lahat ng iyon ay mag sisimula sa araw mismong ito. Prepare yourself to the worst for you will awake the demons in slumber." Hindi ko na namalayan na tumulo na pala ang luha ko.

Sabay sabay itong nagbagsakan na tila walang balak tumigil. Naninikip ang dibdib ko sa sinabi niya. Hindi ko na napansin na bumukas na pala ang pintuan sa dungeon. Hinayaan kong dakipin ako ng mga tauhan ni Mallucia at inilabas sa dungeon. They brought me on a dark place where I saw a small platform with my wand and book on the top.

Nakita ko ang unti-unting pag-liwanag ng buong paligid. Nanginig ang mga tuhod ko ng makita ko si Mallucia na nakangiti saakin. May hawak siyang mga bote habang papalapit.

"If I cant take your ability, why not let you do the honor of awaking them for me?" She said, nanindig ang mga balahibo ko dito.
