Chapter 1: FALLEN CROWN
After the Massacre happened, a child was born and a crown was fallen. The Queen is already not breathing after its birth with her child.
Inaasahan na ng hari na mangyayari iyon. Not a single tear descent from his eyes but a promise came out of his mouth. The kid. Her child is his last hope. He named her daughter after his name and his Queens name
Aerofalyn- but since its too long, he add Sandy as her second name. Sandy because it remind him of her from the word sand. Because, it was almost complete. He and her wife in the castle... And their daughter. But all vanish away. It's more complicated actually
Limang taon man ang lumipas ay hindi iyon naging hadlang para mawalan siya ng dahilan upang mabuhay dahil lang sa lumisan na minamahal. Naging masakit man ito sa una pero kaylangan niyang bumangon dahil alam niyang meron pang nagmamahal sa kanya at magmamahal sa kanya. Ang kanyang nagiisang anak, si Aerofalyn na isang napakagandang bata pero naging masamang banta
Other call Aerofalyn as a mischievous child for its crazy ability. Kung titignan mo ang limang taon na bata ay aakalain mong napaka amo nito pero kapag nagalaw ay hindi mo aasahan kung ano ang manyayari.
Some of them believe it, but some of them not because its just some crazy accusations without any confirmation
Many things happened. Limang taon palang noon si Sandy ay mag la-labing anim na siya. Unti unti ng nagiging repleka niya ang kanyang ina. Everything was fine not until the winter began
Pinadala ng hari ang pang pitong prinsipe ng Lulani sa kadahilanang mawawala muna saglit ang hari. Prince Nash Maverick. Nash is only two years older than Sandy
Nothing really happened. Nasa silid aklatan ang dalawa at katahimikan ang namayani. Sandy can't stand silence so she first open the conversation
"What's your name?" Sandy knew it was a very dumb question to start even though she already knew what is his name. Mabilis lumipad ang mata ni Sandy sa kanyang libro dahil sa walang emonsyon na pag tingin ni Nash sa kanya
"Lucas. My name is Lucas" mabilis kumunot ang noo ni Sandy ng marinig niya iyon.
"I thought your name is Nash?" biglang sambit ni Sandy habang nakakunot ang noo
"Why ask if you already knew?" dismayadong sambit ni Nash na may pag iling pa. Tinikom nalang ni Sandy ang kanyang bibig dahil walang pinatutunguhan ang pag uusap nila
Time passed. It's already time for them to sleep but Sandy was curios why Nash is very focus on what he was reading to the the point he haven't move an inch. Nag kibit balikat nalang si Sandy at handa ng buksan ang pinto para makalabas nang biglang nagsalita ang gago
"Be careful, don't sleep in an hour" biglang sambit ni Nash bago siya unang lumabas sa silid aklatan. Sumunod ng lumabas si Sandy at dumiretso sa kwarto niya and ofcourse who is Nash for her to follow him?
She was peacefully sleeping when an intruder came into picture
Nagising siya dahil unti unti siyang nawalang hininga. She found out someone was tightly holding her neck. An intruder!
Mabilis nakapang laban si Sandy kaya agad itong nakatayo. She still doesn't know what's her true ability is, so she used the lamp beside her and harshly dumped it to the intruders head. Hindi nag patinag ang stranhghero at inabot ang buhok ng dalaga at marahas niya itong nahablot kaya nadala si Sandy.
Sandy's heart was beating rapidly. Hawak hawak na ngayon ng stranghero ang buhok niya habang ang isang kamay pa nito ay nakahawak sa matalim na kutsilyo na nakatutok sa leeg niya. It was her first time in a life and death situation.
"Let go of me" nanginginig na boses ni Sandy. "I'll spare your life. You can run now" she continued and slowly the intruder losses its grip to Sandy's hair. Hindi inaasahan ng dalaga na mabilis naniwala ang stranghero sa kaniya.
Ginamit niya ang pagkakataong iyon at mabilis tumayo at tumakbo palabas ng kanyang kwarto. Balak pa niyang mag tago sa silid aklatan na katabi lang ng kwarto niya pero nagulat ito ng ang silid aklatan niya ay nilalamun na ng sunog
"What the?!" her books are more precious than anything! Pumasok si Sandy at kinuha ang mga libro na hindi pa nasusunog . Mabibigat ang libro niya kaya nahihirapan na itong dalhin pa ang iba kaya iniwan niya nalang ang iba at lumabas na.
"Atleast I got 7 books and its the rare ones " Sandy said in her mind. Mabuti nalang ay hindi madaling masunog ang mga makakapal na libro niya
"Nash!" mabilis na tawag ni Sandy kay Nash ng makita niya aktong papasok ito sa silid niya. Agad nakita ni Nash ang dala dalng libro nito kaya tinulungan niya ito
"You fine?" kabadong tanong ni Nash ng makita niya may na sunog na ilang parte sa damit ni Sandy pero nakangiti parin itong nakatingin sa kanya at may dala pa itong makakapal na libro.
With Nash's ability which is creation, he created a bag out of thin air that is enough to fit all the books that is Sandy's carrying. Mabilis naman itong tinanggap ni Sandy.
"Where's my Dad" biglang tanong ni Sandy ni Nash habang nilalagay nito ang mga libro na bigay ni Nash sa kanya
"Kailangan mong tumakbo... They are after you" natigilan si Sandy sa sinabi sa kanya ng lalaking nasa harapan niya. Nash was dead serious to her.
Sandy is already expecting that they want her head since one of her aunt said Sandy stole its mothers life. Tumango si Sandy at nag umpisa ng naglakad patungo sa kanyang kwarto at pumasok sa sekreto niyang lagusan. Hindi mawala sa isip niya kung gaano karami ng galos ang katawan ni Nash. She only wants peace for them but then they don't want peace since my life is on the line
Pero pumasok parin sa isipan ni Sandy kung bakit ang kaninang stranghero na gusto siyang patayin ay hindi niya itinuloy. It like its one of the puzzle pieces, but there is still many pieces is missing.... Or maybe not. Umiling nalang si Sandy sa kanyang iniisip. Pababa na siya sa kanyang sekretong daanan ay mas lalong lumalakas ang tindi ng kaba niya hanggang sa makalabas na ito sa kanyang lagusan
Her initial plan was go to the woods already but he betrayed by her self. Lumiko ito at pumunta sa harapan ng kanilang kastilyo. Walang nakamalay na nandoon siya dahil sa nakikipag away pa sila. Everything is a mess here. Fire is everywhere. Sandy knew many wants her head but she didn't knew who exactly they are
"My daughter, run" hindi niya namalayang nasa harapan niya na pala ang ama niya. She was busy analyizing how can she solve this. Her father is already bathing on his own blood kaya mas lalong ng lumo ang dalaga.
"N-no~" iling nitong sabi. She want to help. She want to solve this by herself. She wants to end this blood shedding.
"You need to run. They are after you. I'll make everything for them not to hunt you down. Got it?" sabi ng ama nitong nanghihinang nakahawak sa mag kabilang pisngi niya. Labag sa kaloobang tumango ang dalaga. Running away is not a big problem since her existence is still not known in public only the relatives.
Hindi napigilan ni Sandy ang may tumulong luha sa kanyang mata pero nagtaka ito ng mahulog na ang kanyang luha ay naging perlas ito. Nakita din ito ng ama niya kaya halos ipagtabuyan na siya nito upang maka alis na siya. Sandy did her best to run kahit naka takong pa siya
"Nandito siya!" binilisan pa ni Sandy ang pagtakbo niya. She didn't know where she was heading but still~she didnt stop running unti she saw a hut.
Mabilis nag tungo ang dalaga dito at matinding kumatok sa pintoan nito. A middle aged women open the door grumply.
"Please, let me in" Sandy beg. Nagtataka man ay pinapasok ito ng may ari ng bahay and dalaga at binigyan ito ng tubig dahil kita sa mukha nito ang nerbyos.
Pagkatapos inumin ni Sandy ang kanyang baso ng tubig ay yumuko siya sa harapon ng babae bilang sa pasasalamat niya
"Hala! Nako ining tumayo ka" biglang sabi ng babae kaya tumayo nalang si Sandy at nag pasalamat ng pormal. That was she always saw when he sneak to his father's throne. Cause of curiosity, Sandy knew why they are bowing and kneeling to him.
Nabigla Ito ng may inabot ang bababe sa kanya na naka rolyong papel at sabi pa nito ay meron lang daw nagbigay sa kanya nito at ang sabi ibigay ito sa unang bisita niya at ako iyon. I take a view to the paper which is a a simple and plain map... With a hanwritten??
But Why? Bakit niya ako binigyan ng mapa? I maybe don't know some routes here but why map? I mean.... Uuwi naman ako agad diba?
Sandy's mind was in chaos not until she heard an nonstopping bang on the door. Nakita nitong natatakot ang may ari ng bahay kaya siya nalang ang tumayo at binuksan ito
"Nash" biglang sambit ng dalaga. Lalabas na sana ng pintoan si Sandy upang matulungan nito si Nash na may dugo ang ulo pero tinulak siya nito papasok at pabagsak na isinirado ang pinto
"A-anong nangyari!!???" nanginginig na boses ng dalaga
"At this moment, wag ka munang bumalik sa palasyo. I heard them they will use the king as a hostage" hingal na sabi ni Nash. Nakita kong inabutan ito ng may ari ng bahay na inabutan ito ng tubig na mabilis namang tinanggap ni Nash at ininom ito.
" I didn't expect your mother have this high-level clan. They were unstoppable.... and they are planning to end your life as a sacrifice for the reincarnation of your mother...ang gulo... I want you to run and I'll do the rest. Your father is barely breathing and he don't want to sacrifice his daughters life"
