Tale 26
The Shadows
"Nabalitaan nyo ba? Madaming nawawalang alchemists.."
"Balita ko mga sikat at talentadong alchemists lang ang pinupuntirya ng kung sino man ang dumadakip sa kanila."
"Isa sigurong sindikato ang gumagawa nito."
"Buhay pa kaya sila?"
"Hindi yan ang mainit na balita ngayon! Hindi nyo pa ba narinig? May bagong biktima si Phantom Emperor!"
"Isa nanamang guild?"
"Nope.. This time, it was the Ayame Family of Bronei."
"Whoa! Arent they a huge family of business men?"
"Yes.. Ano kayang ginawa nila para maoffend si Phantom Emperor??"
"Tsk. I heard no one was spared. Even their entire residence was burnt down."
"Hindi lang yun.. Pati si Lady Irish, she was in prison, pero hindi sya nakaligtas."
"This is more intense than usual.. Parang masyadong..... personal?"
"I can feel that too. So scary.."
Nagpatuloy ang mainit na diskusyon ng mga tao sa tavern.
"Amara, narinig mo ba yun?" bulong ni Aurio sa babae na abalang kumakain.
"Aha." Tipid na tugon nito
"Do you think the Phantom Emperor is somehow related to Lady Lauren? The original Lady Lauren?" Aurio
"I don't think so." Amara
"Really? W-well the Phantom Emperor is an evil person, it's impossible for Lady Lauren to be acquinted with him." Aurio
Seryoso syang tiningnan ni Amara.. "Aurio, in this world, there is no true good or true evil. People are not black or white but different shades of gray. There is evil in kindness and goodness in evil. Keep that in mind."
"Bakit mo ko sinesermonan? Huhu.." Aurio
"Because you're an idiot." Amara
"Pero hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala sa ginawa mo.. Akala ko natuluyan ka na." buntong hininga ni Aurio habang inaaalala ang mga nangyari sa Bronei.
"Im a Grandmaster Alchemist.. A simple Fake Death Pill is not hard to come by." Amara
Sinimangutan sya ng binata.. Nag-alala talaga sya... "Bakit nga pala tayo narito sa Udarra?"
"To look for something." Amara
"For real? Hindi mo pa ba nahahanap yung hinahanap mo?" Aurio
"Hindi pa sila kompleto." Amara
Amara is more concern about Lance. Gusto nyang iparating dito na ligtas sya. Pero hindi nya mapakiusapan si Damnable na maghatid dito ng mensahe. He was Ember's most trusted aid, but Damnable is too afraid to face him now. He's such a chicken.
"Who are you calling a chicken?! Im just too ashamed to face him! I failed to protect my original master!" rinig nyang sigaw ni Damnable sa kanyang isipan.
Napailing na lang si Amara.
"Im just curious. Is this how you really look?" usisa ni Aurio
Sa kanyang harapan ay makikita ang isang babaeng may long blonde hair, ang mga mata nito ay asul na tila dyamante. May maamo at kaakit-akit itong muka at porselanang kutis. Maganda na ito noon, pero mas nakasisilaw pa ito lalo ngayon.
