The Demon's Angels [On Hiatus]

Xx Chapter 64 : Pandora's Box xX

~ Sapphire's POV ~

Sa tagal na nagtraining ako ngayon lang ako nakaramdam ng pagod. Siguro marami lang akong iniisip kaya hindi ko na napapansin ginagawa ko. * Sigh * Kamusta na kaya sila... They should be here pero mukhang malabo na dumating sila ngayong araw. 

" General... " - Shadow 

That's shadow a member of Aze's Jury. Her real name is Amy Vachez. 

" Hmm? " - Me 

" Kakain na daw and naka receive kami ng call from Butler Jayson,  Blythe and your friends. They told us na by dawn nandito na daw sila " - Shadow 

" I see... Let's go then " - Me 

Sinundan ko na lang si shadow papunta sa dining area and to be expected a lot of my underlings is here. Tahimik ang dining area ng pumasok ako. To be expected, wala naman mahilig magingay dito since all of us is busy with our own tasks and chit chats is not really important. 

" Shaya and Francis are done with the prototypes. Kailangan na lang ng approval mo. " - Bella

Bella is the last member of the Aze's Jury

" Tell them to bring it here. " - Me 

Tinanguan na lamang niya ako at kumain na. The moment I finished eating agad akong umalis at dumeretso sa office ko. Hindi naman necessary na magstay ako dun plus I'm not in the mood to talk to them. Kinalkal ko na lang yung mga gamit na nandito sa office. Some of them are very old and some are new. I grab some things to read until I saw this one thing na parang out of place. It's a weird box. But there is a symbol so maybe it is something worth looking at. Kinuha ko na lang din yung box at kumuha ng iba pang libro para mabasa. Going back to my desk and putting some things down inuna kong kalikutin yung box. It feels so familiar pero ndi ko alam kung saan ko toh nakita... Bumalik ulit ako sa mga bookshelf kasama yung box para maghanap ng libro na makakapagpaliwanag sa kung ano itong hawak ko. The heck ? Naicheck ko na lahat ng libro pero wala. Some of this books are history books ng family namin pero wala ni isa sakanila ang makakapagexplain saakin nito. Bumalik ako sa mesa at isinubsob yung mukha ko sa desk. Nung ginawa ko yun may narinig akong bumagsak. Sinilip ko yung ilalim at... isang libro? Tinignan ko yung ilalim at may nakaopen na wooden flap... What ? Pinulot ko yung libro at inilagay sa mesa, mamaya ko na kakalikutin yun mas curious ako sa kung paano nagkaron ng hidden compartment sa desk. Inopen ko yung drawer tas isinara ko ulit. Sinilip ko naman yung ilalim at may space parin sa hidden compartment. Naisipan ko naman na tanggalin yung drawer at icheck yung back part. May board sa likod. Chineck ko rin yung sa secret compartment at may board din na nakaharang. Iniayos ko yung drawer sa ibabaw ng mesa at tinignan kung hanggang saan aabot yung drawer and may onting space pa. I guess requested build yung desk nila dito. Pretty smart If I say so myself. Wala naman makakapansin na merong nakatago dun. Of enough na, nasobrahan na ako sa pagkaignorante hayss. Pinagtabi ko yung box na nakita ko kanina at yung libro. Magkaparehas sila ng symbol. Siguro ito na yung hinahanap ko. Tinry kong iopen yung flap sa side pero hindi ito nagoopen. Tinignan ko yung likod at may nakaattach na maliit na lock. And it needs a key. The fuck is this shit ? I need to find another key to open this book to have any kind of clue to open a goddamn box. Ano toh lockception ang peg ? Buisit lang. Inopen ko lahat ng drawer na meron tong desk na toh just incase may secret hidden thing majig na pwedeng pagtaguan ng susi nitong libro. 

A lot of minutes have past at marami na akong natry na susi para itry na iopen yung libro pero wala. Chineck ko yung pinaglagyan ng libro kanina baka may maliit na pocket dun pero wala. Tinanggal ko lahat ng gamit sa mga drawer hanggang sa may nakita akong ring box. It's an old engagement ring with initials written on it. Kinuha ko yung sing sing to look at it more closely. Initials nila lolo at lola and may maliliiit na ridges... weird . Ibinalik ko yung sing sing sa lalagyan nito pero gumalaw yung cushion na lalagyan nito. Iniangat ko naman ito at nakita ang isang maliit na susi. Maybe this could work. Tinry ko yung susi na nahanap ko sa libro and guess what bumukas. Nice, hopefully useful yung laman nito. I opened the book and to my surprise, IT'S A FUCKING JOURNAL !!! Hope this thing will help me.  Flipping through the pages marami akong nakitang drawing ng mga weapon. SOme of them are very familiar and some are not. Yung ibang weapon dito ay hindi pa nagagawa so maybe this could help us with the upcoming war. Meron ding ibat ibat map na nakalagay dito some of them are map ng vortex, mansion at itong island kung nasasaan ako ngayon. halfway through the book may maliit na built in case sa loob kaya kapag nakaclose yung libro pages lang makikita pero pagbinuksan sa specific napage makikita ito. Maliit lang ito na lalagyan so baka susi lang din yung laman. Maybe susi ng box. And to my surprice *insert sarcasm* I need another key to open it. Pero hindi naman siya ordinary key. it's a straight keyhole, tinry ko siyang iopen gamit ang coin pero ndi bumubukas. Naalala ko yung sing sing kanina dahil may weird ridges doon, maybe it could open it, hindi ko alam. 

Kinuha ko ulit yung ring box at tinanggal sa lalagyan yung sing sing. Ipinasok ko yung side na may ridge itinwist. Tama nga hinala ko. Bumukas yung case at nasa loob ang isang susi. (Tanginers puro susi -_-) kinuha ko naman yung box kanina at binuksan ito. Ang nasa loob nito ay isang Jade pendant. With a note. 

" Know thy self, know thy enemy. A thousand battles , a thousand victories -Sun Tzu "

Ok... weird but what is the use of this jade pendant? tinignan ko yung journal at hinanap yung page kung nasaan ang explanation nito and apparently its a kind of KEY, to open differrent kinds of secret entrances and exits. Beside it is another quote 

" If you are far from the enemy, make him believe you are near  - Sun Tzu " 

Wala akong maintindihan but I guess it's a form of clue... meh  maybe I need rest I will check all of this again tomorrow.
