It's Dark, all I can see is darkness.
Where am I?
"Is anyone here? Hello!"
No one answered and all I can hear is the rapid and loud beat of my heart.
Where am I?
I almost lost my balance when I felt something cold on my shoulder.
What is this?
I close my eyes dahil may liwanag na tumama sa aking mata. Kasabay ng pagbukas ng aking mga mata ay ang unti unti pagkalinaw ng aking paligid.
Woah! Pangatlong beses ko na atang matatanong sa sarili ko to but
"Where am I?"
I saw a big castle in front of me, and there was a woman sitting on the frozen fountain, feeling the falling snow on her shoulders. She looks like a mysterious fairy based only on her posture and her back appearance.
Pinapanood ko lang siya nang may nakita akong unti-unting namumuong figure na gawa sa yelo sa kanyang mga kamay.
"Wow! She really is something" di ko mapigilang mamangha dahil sa nakita, pero akala ko ba matagal ng wala ang mga Khiodis, paano niya nagagawa iyon?
Nakatalikod sakin ang babae kaya di ko makita ang kanyang mukha but she also has this white hair, the same as mine.
"Sephine wake up. Where going somewhere." I felt a light tap on my shoulder.
"Wake up now my princess." Nagising ako dahil sa isang malambing na boses ng babae and the gentle touch on my cheeks.
I slowly opened my eyes and saw a beautiful woman smiling at me.
"Goodmorning mother!" I smiled back at her.
"How's your sleep my princess?" she asked me with her sweet voice.
I rubbed my eyes before answering. "I had a dream mother" I confessed.
"What is it princess?" she asked and sat straight on the corner of the bed, still looking at me.
Not long after, I told her everything about my dream, especially the girl that have an ability just like the Khiodis.
My mother was shocked because of what I've told her.
"My princess, there is something I want to tell you......" she's a little bit hesitant but she still continued. "........it's about_"
Di na niya natuloy ang sasabihin niya sakin nang may kumatok sa pintuan, and there came the king.
"My princess is already awake, goodmorning" pagbati niya sakin. He kissed my forehead and smiled.
"Gooodmorning too father"
"Take a shower and get ready princess, where going to Winterhold." he gently pat my head with his thick hand that is as big as my face.
"Father, that Winterhold you are talking about is the school for people like us with special abilities, am I right?" I asked while looking at him.
"Yes princess, we are going to enroll you there." he answered.
So tama nga ang narinig ko kagabi na mag aaral ako sa Winterhold.
"Get yourself ready princess, we must hurry because tomorrow is your first day and you are still not enrolled." He said.
"Now we're just going to wait for you downstairs, okay?"
"Yes father." I answered and the two of them kissed both sides of my cheeks.
"I'm so lucky to have the two of them as my parents." A smile formed on my lips as I think about my parents.
I took a shower and do my morning routine then looked at myself in the mirror.
I have this almond shaped gray eyes that I got from my mother, I have this red lips and pale white skin na bagay sa natural white hair ko na natural din ang pagkakulot, and my coca-cola shaped body because of training everyday with my father, and also a height that is tall compared to other girls that I got from my father.
My mother and father always tell me that I have this unique kind of beauty. Maganda daw ako and it's not that I'm bragging about it, but it's true na maganda talaga ako.
I looked at the window and realized that I am a stranger in the outside world.
Hindi ako lumalabas ng bahay kaya hindi ko alam kung ano ang nasa labas ng kastilyo namin. Hindi ko rin alam kung hanggang saan ang nasasakupan namin at medyo nag aalinlangan pa ko kung lalabas na ba talaga ako at haharapin ang mga pagsubok sa labas o mananatili na lang dito hanggang sa ako ay tumanda.
I took a deep breath and cheered myself
You can do this Sephine! Fighting!
I went downstairs and then I saw my mother and father waiting for me. "Let's go princess?"
"Yes mother."
The horseman reached for my hand para alalayan ako sa pag akyat sa carriage. My mother sat beside my father in front of me kaya ang itsura ay magkaharap kami.
Bago kami tuluyang makaalis ay muli kong sinulyapan ang kastilyo namin dahil alam kong matagal pa bago ko ulit ito masilayan.
All the maids and knights bowed as we left the palace.
Dumaan kami sa madilim na gubat, hindi ko alam kung eto ba talaga ang daan papunta sa Winterhold.
"Father, are we lost?" I asked him.
"No princess, we're on the right road." "You know, Winterhold, they don't want anybody to know, especially the mundanes, about its existence. Only royals just like us and nobles are the only ones who are welcome in that school," my father answered and gave me a smile.
"Your father is right princess." my mother agreed and gently hold my hand.
Nang malapit na kami sa dulo ng kagubatan ay may unti unting pumapatak na nyebe mula sa kalangitan. Habang papalapit kami sa dulo ay mas dumarami ang mga nyebeng pumapatak.
Mahigit tatlong oras ang naging byahe namin bago tuluyang makarating sa Winterhold.
As I got out of the carriage, a huge castle welcomes me.
Woah! Is this really a school?! It's more like a castle to me than a school!
Hindi man ito kasing laki ng kastilyo namin pero nakakamangha parin ang ganda nito. Isa itong kastilyong gawa sa bloke ng matitigas na nyebe at may parte rin na gawa sa yelo.
How did they even built this thing?!
Nabalik lang ako sa realidad ng tinapik ako ng aking ina sa balikat.
"Let's go princess mag eenroll kapa. You're father and I know that this school is very beautiful and perfect for you because this is where your father and I met, dito nabuo ang pagmamahalan namin at dito rin kami nagtapos ng pag-aaral." my mother said happily. "You will learn a lot of things here."
Wow! For real?! So my parents really graduated here, dati naririnig ko lang to sa mga kwento nila ngayon nakikita ko na ng harapan.
"I can't wait to study here mother, father. Let's go!" I said excitedly nauna na kong maglakad and I heard my father chuckled.
"Our Princess is excited Treashin just like us the first time we enrolled here" he said to my mother while holding her hand.
"She really got that cheerful attitude from you Dastan, see?" my mother said and kissed my father on his lips.
They really love each other that much, It makes me want to brag about it to everyone that I have the sweetest parents in the world.
We went inside the Winterhold at nilagpasan ang malaking gate nito.
Tumigil ang karwahe sa harap ng malaking pintuan ng school. Lumabas ako at ibinaba ang mga gamit ko. I brought three bags with me that's why my father asked a servant to bring the bags inside.
Hindi na kami nagsayang ng oras at dumiretso na agad sa register room para mag enroll.
Nagfill out na ko ng form na ibinigay nila sa akin, and I wrote down the things that are needed in the form.
Name: Miracle Josephine Beaufort
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Royal: ✔ Elite:
Special Ability: Water
Mother's maiden Name: Treashin Aqua

Pagkatapos kong mafill out yung form ay ibinigay ko na ito sa naghahandle sa registration.
"Your room number is 321, the rooms are in the right side of the castle. Here are your keys to your room and locker, here is your student handbook and your uniform. Bago ko nga pala makalimutan, bawal niyo gamitin ang abilities niyo dito unless na may kinalaman sa studies niyo." paalala sakin ng babae.
"Okay." I answered saka Inabot ang mga ito, dalawang uniform at isang cloak ang ibinigay sakin ng staff. "Thanks"
I went to where my mother and father is and we went to my designated room.
Base sa sinabi nung babae sakin kanina odd numbers ang room naming mga girls at even numbers naman ang sa mga boys, so alternate lang ang dating.
The rooms are also made of ice, pero hindi siya kasing lamig dun sa labas, parang room temperature lang because of the crystals that were inside of each rooms.
Hindi ko mapigilang mamangha sa itsura ng school habang tinitignan ang paligid ko. Ipinasok na namin ang mga gamit ko sa loob ng kwarto, at wala kaming roommate kasi bawat estudyante ay may kanya kanyang kwarto.
Pagkatapos naming inayos ang mga gamit ko ay lumabas kami ng kwarto para ihatid ang parents ko sa labas ng school.
"I'm gonna miss you both" I said, I know that they can see the sadness in my eyes kasi hindi pa naman ako sanay na wala sa tabi ko ang magulang ko.
"Aww my princess, we're gonna miss you too. Always take care of yourself okay?" my mother said and kissed me on my cheeks.
After our goodbyes, they left.
"Naiwan na akong mag-isa, you're now on your own" I sighed. "You can do this Sephine, fighting!"
Pumasok na ko sa loob ng school at nilibot ang bawat room dito, kailangan ko pang malaman ang pasikot sikot dito sa school baka maligaw lang ako pag nagkataon.
I asked some of the students here kung saan ang library, and one of them told me na malapit lang ito sa hall. Gusto ko munang magbasa basa para malibang ang sarili ko.
Nagsimula na kong maghanap ng magandang librong babasahin and there nakahanap rin ako, about sa history ng Winterhold and I found a perfect place to read the book.
Pumunta na ko sa pinaka dulo ng library dahil walang taong umuupo doon.
I sat comfortably and started reading my book when I heard something.
"You asshole! Do you want to go to hell huh?!" I heard someone yelling.
"Sorry po, it's not me. Please have mercy" narinig kong pagmamakaawa ng isang lalaki.
Ayoko sanang silipin pero anong magagawa ko? Eh sadyang nakucurious ako.
Nagtago ako sa likod ng isang shelf at sinilip kung anong nangyayari sa parteng iyon.
I saw a guy with a fireball on his hand na kinuwelyuhan ang isang kawawang lalaki. Pilit nitong nagmamakaawa sakanya na huwag siyang saktan pero parang di siya pinapakinggan nito.
Is this guy insane? Ang yabang niya ah.
Nagdadalawang isip ako kung mangingielam ba ako o hindi, pero nakakatakot kasi yung presensya ng lalaki.
But in the end, I still interfered dahil sa mukhang kawawa yung lalaki.
Lalapit na sana ako sakanila ng ibinaba ng lalaki ang kwelyo ng kawawang lalaki. Wala na itong sinabi at tumalikod na lang basta basta saka umalis.
Nang hindi ko na maaninag ang lalaki ay agad kong pinuntahan ang kanina pang tulalang lalaki na hindi parin gumagalaw sa pwesto.
"Are you ok?"
Nakatulala parin ito kaya tinapik ko na ang pisngi niya at saka lang siya natauhan.
"Y-yeah"
Hindi parin ito nakatingin sa akin kaya inalalayan ko na lang itong tumayo.
"Ahm do you want to go to the clinic? Baka may masakit sayo o ano." I asked looking worried.
"No thanks, ok na a_" Di na niya natapos ang sasabihin niya nang humarap siya sakin.
"Are you really ok?" I asked again because he is acting weird. Nakatulala parin siya sakin that's why I waved my hand in front of his face but still nakatulala parin siya.
"Hey, Mr. Ahm what should I call you?" I ask him and snapped my fingers.
"T-Thomas, I'm Thomas Greg." he quickly answered.
"So Mr. Thomas, are you sure that you're ok?" I asked
"Yes thank you Ms.?" he said while trying to figure out what my name is.
"Josephine" Inilahad ko ang kamay ko para makipag shake hands sakanya.
"Josephine?" Inabot niya ang kamay ko para nakipagshake hands rin sakin.
"Miracle Josephine Beaufort" pagpapakilala ko.
"Beaufort! The only daughter and princess of Beaufort kingdom?" he was shocked after hearing my full name.
"Yes, I am and you are?"
"I'm a noble Princess Miracle" akmang yuyuko na sana siya sa harap ko nang pigilan ko siya.
"No need to be formal Thomas, just call me Josephine I'm also a student here in Winterhold."
But the he start to talk to himself, whispering. "Damn! Im so lucky to face a beautiful lady infront of me"
"What did you say?" I asked dahil di ko narinig yung sinabi niya.
"Nothing Josephine. So it's a pleasure to meet you and thank you for helping me." he said.
Nginitian ko na lang siya at tuluyan na siyang umalis.
Bumalik na ko sa kwarto ko at agad na dumiretso sa kama. Kinuha ko ang picture frame na may picture naming tatlo ng aking magulang sa side table ko.
"I miss you two already." I said and tears began to fell from my eyes.
I stared at it for a while, and when I heard my stomach growling, saka ko lang ibinalik ang picture frame at kinuha ang dalawang sandwich na prinepare ng servant namin kanina. Eto lang ang dinner ko, dahil sa tinatamad na kong lumabas.
Pagkatapos kong kumain pumunta na kong bathroom at ginawa ang routine ko saka natulog.
Tomorrow is my first day, sana maging okay lang ang lahat.
