Chapter 1 : Portal Lockdown

Chapter 1 : Portal Lockdown

Nakatulala pa rin ako sa kawalan. I know that I've been awake and never got the chance to sleep when we booked a hotel. We booked a one suite that is spacious enough for the ten of us. It had two beds that separates us girls and boys. Aquacia thought of it, that it's much cheaper this way, I also have no complaints on sharing beds with them.

My thoughts drifted away when I felt movements on my side, it was Aquacia. She woke up. Nag-tataka itong tumingin saakin ng naupo siya sa kama, matapos akong tignan ay sumulyap ito sa kanyang wrist watch, tila nag-tataka ito kung bakit gising pa ako sa kalagitnaan ng gabi.

"Ayos ka lang?" she asked and pulled herself off the bed. Marahan akong tumango.

Narinig ko ang mga tinig na tila nag-aalarma. I made my way towards the closet where the pixies and flaries are hiding. It looks like they can't push the door so they made a noise. Good thing I'm awake while Aquacia was half. Lumipad ang mga ito na akala mo ay ngayon lamang naka-hinga pag-kalabas.

Naalarma ako ng makita ang mga ito na tila nag-pa-panic. Their face screamed danger.

"What happened?" Kaagad ko na tanong sa mga ito ng mapansin iyon.

"T-The portal..." Hinihingal ang tinig ni Frissa ng mag-salita ito. She's Frio's pixie.

She looked so terrified, nag-hahabol pa ito ng kaniyang hininga para makausap kami ng maayos. Bahagya ko siyang inabot dahil baka lalo lamang siyang mapagod kapag pumapagaspas ang kaniyang pakpak.

"Portals?" Tanong ni Aquacia ng tuluyan na itong magising.

"The portals, we can't open them." alalang pahayag ni Frissa. Nag-tataka akong napalingon kay Aquacia.

"They use portals?"

"I don't know, you do?" Binalik ni Aquacia ang tanong sa pixies. Kung ganoon ay wala rin siyang alam.

"When we're popping out of nowhere, we are entering a portal that can take us anywhere we want. But now, we can't use them." Lumipad sa aking kamay si Esmeray, tila lubhang nababahala ito sa kanilang sitwasyon. Ramdam ko ang tako niya ng lumapat siya sa aking palad.

The element wielders, Luan and others, the Pixie's portals aren't working. What the hell is going on?

"What's happening? Why isn't it working?" Gulong tanong ko.

"We don't know, this hasn't happened before. Ngayon lamang." Umiiling si Esmeray ng sabihin niya iyon. Napabuntong hininga ako.

"How about you guys?" Aquacia turned on Shine

"We're not using portals, instead, we are entering dimensions. We can change place to another." Now that the topic is about how Pixies can teleport to one place to another, it's my first time hearing about the Flaries.

"Then can you go back to Versailles to know what's going on?" I hurriedly ask them, dahil sa aming sitwasyon, masyadong mahirap alamin ang mga nangyayari kung ganitong wala kaming kaalam-alam

"They can't, Serel. They can only use teleportation in one domain, entering the Versailles while they are in Mortal Domain is not possible." Si Aquacia na ang nag-paliwanag saakin noon.

So we really need a portal huh?

"What's going on? It's already midnight, you guys are still up?" Hindi ko na namalayan na nagising na rin pala si Flare at ang iba. Marahil dahil iyon sa aming mga boses.

"The Pixies can't use their portals." saad ko, mukhang half awake pa ang mga ito dahil sa maging reaksyon nila. They're all look confused.

Ilang minuto pa ng lumipas ay saka lamang sila nag-singhapan. Napailing ako dahil ilang minuto ang inabot nila para lang ma-digest ang sinabi ko.
