Elemental Guardians

AYESHA

Ilang araw na ang nakalipas simula 'nong nag coffee date kami ni Alaric sa kaniyang kuwarto. He's so sweet. And gentle, and kind, and gorgeous...

I took a bite of my potato fries that I made earlier na bitbit ko ngayon dito sa loob ng classroom. Nakalagay ito sa gawa kong pakete na papel para mabitbit ko ito kahit saan.

Pag-aaralan ko raw kasi ang tungkol sa mundong ito kaya may private tutor ako ngayon dito sa loob ng klase.

Si Ember.

"Lady Luna. Are you listening?" My body flinched as Ember returned me back to my present world!

Tama nga pala, ako lang ang mag-isang estudyante niya!

"Y-Yes! Sorry. Kulangan lang talaga sa tulog kagabi." Pagrarason ko at hinimasan lang nito ang sariling sentido nito sa dismaya.

Look at Ember. I can really see Alaric in her. Even though Ember is a female biologically.

"You must focus! Paano mo malalaman ang history ng mundong ito kung ganito lamang ang lagi mong inaasal?" Suway nito saka umupo sa table na nakabuntong hininga, "I even let you eat during my class." Sabi nito na nakaturo ang palad nito sa hawak kong fries kaya ibinaba ko agad ang hawak hawak kong fries.

Ember squinted her eyes, looking at me. I know she's controlling her anger towards me. Nagde-daydream kasi ako kay Alaric! I just bit my lower lip at inayos ang bangs ko para matakpan ang mga mata ko sa kaniya. I haven't wear contacts today.

"Fine." She surrendered. "Who was the first water elemental guardian?" Biglang tanong nito and I answered immediately.

"Bouddica Luna." Sagot ko at inangat kaunti ang fries saka kumagat nito. Ember raised her brows and cleared her throat, "impressive."

"What is the main purpose of the elemental guardians?" Tanong nito kaya napatingin ako sa bangs ko.

"To guard the elements?" Tanong ko and she raised her brows at me while crossing her arms, "and?"

And? Ano pa ba? 'Yon lang ang naalala kong rason kung bakit may elemental guardians.

"I see. You started daydreaming on that part." Sabi nito saka ibinaba ang mala—higanteng scroll ng mapa sa board saka isinabit ito sa hook sa ibaba ng board para hindi bumalik sa scroll.

It's the world map of this world. But strangely, it has only one continent.

"3 thousand years ago. This continent was supposedly one, centuries ago." Paninimula ni Ember saka itinapik ang cane nito sa map. "One continent and one race. How did we even exist as a human? We have no idea and no proof of that matter."

Itinaas ko ang kanang kamay ko para sumagot. "Yes?" Tanong nito sa akin kaya tumayo ako habang bitbit pa rin ang fries ko.

"Is it possible that we came from apes? The human evolution." Sabi ko naman and she nodded.

"That is the biggest what if. But that theory is only possible from earthlings." Sabi nito kaya napakunot ang noo ko sa sagot niya.

"As you can see, Miss Luna. Apes, monkeys, gorrilas, chimpanzees, any type of species that resembles humanoid creatures doesn't exist in this world." Sabi nito kaya napabilog ang mga mata ko sa sinasabi nito.

"So, from your own perspective, miss Luna. How do you think, like us exist in this so called planet Vyke?" Tanong nito kaya napakamot ako sa noo ko. Hindi naman kasi ako naniniwala sa diyos eh kasi mas naniniwala ako sa science.

"I'm not really sure. If there is mass, and elements then there is us." Sagot ko naman and she smirked. She's freaking handsome when she does that!

"What if someone higher than us made us?"
