Chapter 13 : Neoma and Solei

SEREL

Inabot ko kay Astoria ang isang tubig ng magising na ito. She must be thirsty. Narito na rin ang Astroloheirs ng mabalitaan na si Astoria ay nagising na. Lahat ay masaya dahil sa wakas ay gising na si Astoria, noong una ay nag-aalala pa ako na baka matagal pa bago siya muling maka-bawi ng lakas.

Inobserbahan ko siya at napansin na maayos na ang kanyang lagay. Umalis muna ako sa kanyang tabi upang mabigyan ang iba ng oras upang kamustahin siya.

Tumabi ako sa may pintuan kung nasaan si Dawn. Pinag-mamasdan lamang nito ang buong silid kung saan napupuno ng mga boses na nag-aalala kay Astoria.

"Serel," Nawala ang atensyon ko sa silid at bumaling sa aking kapatid ng tawagin niya ako.

"Hmm?"

"Are you okay without the Flaries?" Tanong niya, marahil nag-aalala ito sa aking kalagayan gayong wala na sa akin ang Flaries.

Upang mabawasan ang inaalala ni Dawn ay binigyan ko siya ng isang ngiti.

"Ayos lang ako. Isa pa, mayroong nambu-bwisit sa akin kada araw." I chuckled, remembering the annoying Grim Reaper who's been with me all the time.

"What do you mean?" Kumunot ang noo niya, nag-taka sa aking sinabi.

"Look there," I pointed my fingers on Felin, leaning on one of the tables.

Tumingin doon si Dawn at pinag-masdan ng maigi ang aking itinuro. His eyes squinted as if he's starting to realize who's the person I am pertaining to. Napansin ni Felin na naka-tingin kaming dalawa sa kanya kaya naman kumaway ito.

"Oh, I know him." Pahayag ni Dawn ng sa wakas ay naalala na si Felin.

"Esmeray," Tawag ni Dawn sa kanyang Pixie. Lumabas si Esmeray sa kanyang balikat.

"Yes? Dawnie?" I laughed silently when Esmeray pinched my brother's chin, as if it's teasing him.

"Don't call me that," Sinamaan ni Dawn ng tingin ang kanyang Pixie.

"Do you like to accompany Serel for a while?" Bumaling sa akin si Dawn at sumulyap kay Esmeray.

"Pinamimigay mo na ba ako, Dawn!?" Suminghap ito, tila hindi makapaniwala sa kanyang narinig mula sa kanyang pinag-sisilbihan.

"I am just asking if you can accompany Serel. She has no Pixie nor Flaries at the moment." Pag-lilinaw ni Dawn dahil iba talaga ang iniisip ni Esmeray.

"You know, I hate the fact that you are trying to hand me to someone but if it's Serel, then no problem!" Gamit ang maliit na daliri ni Esmeray ay nag thumbs up ito sa akin at kumindat.

Napailing ako.

"Sinasabi mo kanina na ipinamimigay kita pero gusto mo naman." I saw how my brother pouted, tumawa ako. Ilang segundo lamang ata iyon at ako lang ang nakapansin.

"I just don't like the fact that I have to serve a boy, okay?" Pag-susungit ni Esmeray.

"So, Serel. You're my mistress now!?" Excited akong tinanong ni Esmeray.

"No," I shook my head.

Bumagsak ang balikat ni Esmeray matapos marinig ang aking pag-tanggi. Mukhang nagulat naman si Dawn dahil hindi ko tinanggap ang kanyang Pixie.

Esmeray look saddened kaya naman inabot ko siya gamit ang aking palad. She sat on my palm.

"Don't you like me, Serel?" Tanong nito.

"I like you, Esmeray. But it's better if you keep an accompany with Dawn. Kaya ko naman mag-isa." My finger held her chin, her eyes are almost teary.

"But call me if you need help, okay?" Ngumiti ako at tumawa ng masaya itong nawala.

Natigilan kaming dalawa ni Dawn ng biglang nag-lakad si Frio sa pagitan naming dalawa. His traces gave us shiver, marahil sa kapangyarihan nito. Ang lahat ay natahimik ng pumasok si Frio sa loob, ang kaninang nag-sisiyahan ay napalitan ng katahimikan.

"Astoria," Tawag ni Frio sa kagigising lamang na si Astoria.

"Yep?"

"I'm so sorry for making you go berserk. It's my fault." I didn't move when Frio apologized to Astoria. I can feel his sincerity from far here.

"It's okay, Frio. I'm glad to help." Isang malaking ngiti ang isinukli ni Astoria sa kanya. Frio was caught off guard.

"But still..."

"If I didn't do it, we might be still on the Time Loop. Besides, I realized something about me because of it." Hindi pa rin hinayaan ni Astoria na sisihin ni Frio ang kanyang sarili.

Namayani ang katahimikan matapos mag-usap ng dalawa. Tila lahat ay natatakot na mag-salita upang basagin ang katahimikan. It's starting to get awkward, mabuti na lamang ay nag-salita si Levi.

"Ayos na kayo? Ikaw ba Astoria? Tara mag-celebrate!" Suhestiyon nito. Nasundan iyon ng iba pang suhestiyon kung paano kami mag-cecelebrate.

"If we're going to celebrate, then I better prepare the foods." Tumayo si Nadia.

"Levi, Fisso, help me clean the dormitory first. I need fast helpers." Itinuro nito si Levi at Fisso. Tumayo kaagad si Fisso, handa ng umalis kasama ni Nadia ngunit sumimangot lamang si Levi.

"The dermit," Umiiling nitong saad at napilitan na tumayo.

Akmang lalabas na ang tatlo sa pintuan kaya tumabi kaming dalawa ni Dawn ngunit tila mayroong biglang pumasok sa silid. Sobrang bilis noon, tila hinalughog ang buong kwarto. Ang mga kurtina ay tumaas, ang ilang dokumento na nakapatong sa lamesa ay nagsiliparan at maging si Flare at Tyson na naka-upo sa couch ay natumba sa sahig.

Kung hindi pa ako naalalayan ni Dawn ay baka nagaya na ako sa tatlo nina Nadia at Levi na natumba rin sa sahig. Parang mayroong dumaan na bagyo sa buong silid dahil sa nangyari.

"W-What the hell?" Naliliyong tumayo si Aquacia dahil natumba rin ito.

"Anong nangyari?" Tanong ni Seria na naka-sandal sa isang lamesa.

"Where is she?"

Napakunot ang noo ko ng makarinig ng maliit na boses. Tila bulong lamang iyon.

"Are we being attacked?" Nataranta si Meissa ng maisip iyon.

"I don't know! I only followed the scent!"

"Do you hear that?" I asked them when I heard a tiny voice again.

"A-Alin?" Kinakabahan na tanong ni Seria.

"Shhh! Shut up, Solei. They can hear us!"

"Who's there?" Frio asked when they finally heard the tiny voice I was saying.

Nagulat ako ng isa isang nag-silabahan ang kanilang Pixie kahit hindi nila iyon tinatawag. Kumunot ang noo ko ng maging ang Flaries ay dumating din.

"Esmeray?" Tanong ko ng para itong may hinahanap.

"You saw them!?" Lahat kami ay kapwa takang taka sa nangyari ng mag-usap usap ang Pixie at Flaries sa gitna. Wala kaming kaalam-alam sa nangyayari.

"Ano bang nangyayari? Anemone?" Levi tried to ask his Pixie but Anemone seems occupied.

"Neoma? Solei?"

"Neomaa!"

"Soleeei!"

Kumunot ang noo ko dahil panay ang tawag nila sa dalawang pangalan na iyon na hindi naman pamilyar sa akin o sa Astroloheirs.

"Neoma? Solei?" I murmured the names I heard from the Pixies and Flaries.

Nagulat ako ng tila may pwersang humila sa akin, nahiwalay ako kay Dawn at natigil sa gitna kung saan may dalawang nilalang na pumapaikot sa akin. Hindi ko alam ang aking gagawin samantala ang iba ay natataranta dahil kapwa kaming lahat walang alam sa nangyayari.

"A-Anong nangyayari?" Gulo kong tanong dahil hindi pa rin tumitigil ang nilalang na pumapaikot sa akin.

"Cresrelle!" Sa wakas ay natigil na ng dalawa ngunit laking gulat ko ng biglang mayroong apat na maliit na kamay ang yumakap sa akin.

I was forced to take a step back because of their force. They looked like Pixies based on my observations. Hindi ko nga lamang alam kung anong Pixie sila dahil kakaiba ang kulay ng kanilang maliit na wings. Ang isa ay kulay puti na tila buwan samantala ang isa ay hawig sa kulay ng sikat ng araw.

"U-Uh..." I tried to step away but their hugs are so tight that even our sizes couldn't do anything.

"Neoma! Solei!" Sa wakas ay pinuna na sila ng kapwa nila Pixies. They pulled Neoma and Solei from me.

"It's been years! You both are finally back!" They cheered, tila sila lamang ang nakaka-intindi sa kanilang pinag-diriwang.

Kaming Astroloheirs ay walang ka-alam alam sa nangyayari.

"Can someone explain what's happening here?" Sa wakas ay umimik na si Flare upang mag-tanong.

"I'm sorry for the disturbance, we are really just happy to see the grown up Cresrelle!" My brows knitted when they both spoke in chorus.

"Cresrelle?"

"Isn't that the name that Seria supposed to bear?" Kunot noong ani Aquacia.

"Seria? So you go by the name Seria?" Kumunot ang noo ko ng lumapit sa akin ang dalawa at tinanong ako. Marahan akong umiling.

"N-No, I'm Serel." I shook my head.

"Then who's Seria?" The Pixies asked.

"I am," Seria raised her hand.

"But you're not Cresrelle," Lahat kami ay naguguluhan na sa nangyayari at sa pinag-uusapan ngunit bago pa ako makapag-tanong ay hinala na ng Flaries ang dalawang Pixie na si Neoma at Solei kaya naiwan kaming lahat na nag-tataka sa nangyari.

"Who are they?" Meissa asked the remaining Pixies, especially her own Pixie, Waverly.

"The Twin Pixie who disappeared long time ago, Neoma and Solei." Frissa answered.

"Twin Pixie?" Nangunot ang noo ni Nadia ng itanong niya iyon. Marahil nag-tataka ito sa mismong kahulugan noon.

"I've heard of them," Lahat ng atensyon ay napunta kay Astoria ng bigla itong mag-salita.

"Twin Pixie... Astralea mentioned them once to me. The legendary twins who served the Goddess of Galaxy themselves." Pahayag nito. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang kanyang sinasabi tungkol roon dahil wala ako masyadong alam sa history ng Versailles.

"I think I've read stories about them on books. It's quite familiar." Ani Aquacia.

"What do you mean by "served the Goddess of Galaxy themselves"?" Nangunot ang noo ko ng mag-tanong si Seria. Nakikita ko ang kuryosidad sa kanyang mga mata.

"The Pixies are created by the Gods, each of them was born because of ice, time, and the other elements and they're considered as one of the powerful versallians but they cannot use their ability freely--- Sapphire, the Goddess of Fire, stated that Pixies can only use their abilities to utmost if they're protecting someone, and that is where the Astroloheirs came. Pixies and Astroloheirs most likely have a familiar-master bond,"

"That was the history about the Pixies, but there was two legendary Pixies that is famous. Neoma and Solei, the only Pixies that was born after the sun and moon, unlike the other who stayed on the Abiliantes, they served and became the Goddess of Galaxy's protector so everyone considered them as legendary."

Both Astoria and Aquacia explained it to us but something caught my attention.

"What do you mean by "Unlike the others?" My brows furrowed, wondering about the statement.

"Oh, I forgot that your knowledge about Versailles isn't that good. There's some things that you still don't know." Aquacia stopped and looked at me.

"I'll suggest that we go tour around the whole Versailles like the thing they call on earth, was it field trip? so you and Seria can both see each land." Suhestiyon ni Aquacia.

Tumango ako.

"That would be a great help familiarizing the Versailles."

"Question." Seria spoke. "Why did they disappeared?" She asked the second question I had in mind.

"We don't know." The Pixies and Aquacia both shook their heads. "As you can see, what happened before the sun got lost is still a mystery."

After Aquacia said that, everyone didn't say a word. There was a moment of silent in the whole room as if we are all thinking about the same thing. It lasted atleast for a minute. Mabuti na lamang at bumalik na ang Flaries, kasama si Neoma at Solei. Sa palagay ko ay may pinag-usapan na seryoso ang mga ito base sa kanilang mga hitsura. Seryoso sila ng bumalik.

"We're both sorry for the disturbance we caused you." Yumuko si Neoma at Solei sa amin, ramdan ko ang sinseridad sa boses ng dalawa.

"For proper introduction, I am Neoma, the Moon Pixie," Pakilala ni Neoma nag curtsy pa sa amin.

"Solei, the Sun Pixie. I know you have a lot of questions but save that for the meantime. A time will come that everything will be revealed." kumunot ang noo ko sa sinabi ni Solei ngunit kaagad din iyon na nawala.

"Bakit kayo nandito?" Flare asked them both. Hinarap siya ng dalawa.

"Flare of Aries and Sagittarius," Neoma smiled when she saw Flare. "We are here to serve Estrella's children but Shine already explained the situation that to cover for our absence, the Flaries had to look for Cresrelle so Solei and I will leave her to the Flaries' hands." Sagot ni Neoma sa tanong ni Flare.

"What do you mean...?" Nag-tatakang tanong ni Seria ng marinig iyon.

"We are the ones who's supposed to be Estrella's children's Pixies and their guardian but the Flaries covered it when we're away." Si Solei naman ang nag-salita.

"That's why we're gonna be Serel's Pixies instead!" Nanlaki ang aking nga mata at napapitlag ako ng lumipad papunta sa akin ang dalawa.

Hindi lamang ako ang nagulat, maging si Dawn at ang lahat ng nasa loob ng silid maliban sa Flaries ay nabigla rin sa sinabi ni Neoma

"H-Huh?"

"W-Wait! Is that even possible? Y-You said you're both supposed to be my Pixies... is that possible to serve someone who's not me?" Mabilis na agap ni Seria kaya nangunot ang noo ko dahil tila ayaw nito sa desisyon ng dalawa.

"Despite the oath we spoke to the Goddess, we are still Pixies, a creature just like Frissa, Anemone and our friends here and as Pixies, we are in charge of choosing the person thag will we're gonna serve so it's okay."
