Xaria's P. O. V.


     PARA akong naglalakbay sa dilim. Wala akong makita kung hindi kadiliman. Lumingon-lingon ako sa paligid ko.


          Para akong nasa kawalan.


"Tapos ka na bang maglibot?"



    My eyes widened at the voice. Agad na nagtayuan ang balahibo ko nang makita ko ang higanteng mga anino na may pulang mga mata.


      Katumbas ng isang buong gusali ang laki nila at pakiramdam ko kayang kaya nila akong pisain kung gugustuhin nila.


      They're not freaking shadows, this image is not a simple darkness.


   They're stygians.



"Sino kayo?" I keep my voice calmed as possible even I'm shaking on the inside.


     I feel like I'm being sorrounded by darkness. Lumilipad-lipad sila at tumatama at tumatagos lang sa akin. They're playing with me.



"Kami ang dapat magtanong....Sino ka?"



     Parang nagtaasan ang balahibo ko dahil sa narinig kong boses, katumbas ito ng daang boses na sabay sabay na nagsalita.



     Bigla kong naramdaman ang pagsikip ng dibdib ko. Doon ko nakita na parang nagliliwanag ang isa kong simbolo. Ang simbolo ng oras. The moment there's light appear in my chest, I saw the images of people in war and many corpse. It's in a battlefield.


I suddenly transported into battlefield!


"Hahatiin ko na ang mundo."


"Dilim at liwanag ay muling maglalaban. Sa pagsapit ng ikatlong pagikot ng buwan sa kalawakan, Isang sanggol ang dadalhin ng mga anino sa lupa, at siya ang kikitil sa lahat."


     Kumunot ang noo ko, pero nagulat ako nang biglang nakita ko ang sarili kong katawan na maraming dugo, ako ngayon ang nasa sentro ng digmaan at hindi ko kontrol ang katawan ko nang magsalita ako ng spell na sumakop sa mundo kasabay ng pader na kasing taas ng langit na kayang maghati sa mundo.


        Pero sa isang kisap mata, dinala na naman ako sa isang lugar, sa isang madilim na paligid kung nasaan ang lawa, nakatingin ako sa repleksyon ko sa tubig pero nagtaasan ang balahibo ko nang magsalita ang sarili kong repleksyon at gumalaw!


"Hindi ka dapat mabuhay, ibalik mo ang katawan ko!"










      NAGISING ako sa isa sa mga dorm at silid na tinutuluyan ko. Ang pawis ko ay tagaktak at nanginginig ang kamay ko. Hindi ko mapigilang kilabutan at hawakan ang pisngi ko. Damang dama ko ang paghawak sa akin ng babaeng iyon.



     A-anong panaginip iyon?


       Halos mapatalon ako nang may kumatok ng ilang ulit sa pinto kung saan nakasadlak ako. Bumuntong hininga ako at kinalma ang sarili ko nang makita kong si Miss Zenia ito.


    Nakangiting bumungad sa akin si Miss Zenia, yumuko ako bilang paggalang.


      Inside me is screaming that the hell I entered isn't some lowly playground but a battlefield. 


   I'll used everyone as long as I can get a cards to win this game. Including Zenia...


"Miss Zenia,"ngumiti ako dito pero maya-maya ay nagbago ang mukha ko at nagseryoso.


"What's the catch?"


     Bigla siyang natawa. May halo itong sarkasmo at paghanga.


   Sa una palang hindi na normal ang relasyon namin. Hindi siya sumama sakin sa bayan na kinalakihan ko para tulungan ako.


   I know what kind person Zenia Klain is. She's a petty sadist and player. She thinks that life is a game and enjoy controlling situations behind shadows.


     Seryoso ang mukha niya ngunit kita ko sa mata ang paghanga sa tapang ko.


"I'll get straight to the business Xaria, I have no intention to mess with Menoa family or Centro, but one wrong move and I'll wipe out the both sides."


    Maangas siyang pumasok sa kwarto ko habang nagsasalita at umupo sa kama, lumilibot ang mata niya sa silid ngunit natigil sa espada ko na nasa gilid.


"So why are you here? Don't tell me you're here just to warned me." Biglang sumeryoso ang tono ko, the moment she decided for me to save my family means I'm indebted to her, that I'm a slave in this contract.


     I'll turn it upside down.


    Natigil ako nang magtama ang mata namin, nakangiti siya pero alam ko kung gaano kadelikado siya.


"It's one of the agenda so that you'll not try to do something stupid."


      Walang emosyon ang mata ko na nakatitig sa kanya. She's so gentle before when I asked for her help, but now that she wanted me to look clearly at the line that draw us apart, nagbabago ang pagkatao niya.     


"So what's the other agenda?"


    Biglang sumeryoso ang mukha niya, "I'm here to discuss about the background of your power."


     Hindi ko mapigilang mapalunok, nandito ako, para malaman ang tunay na katotohanan sa pagitan ng Menoa at ng Centro.


But I needed power to do so.


    Ang alam ko lang ay ang kung sinumang Thànathos ang makakuha ng kapangyarihan ay siyang magiging itinakda at tutulong sa tao sakaling magkaroon muli ng digmaan.
 


   But looking at it, you'll know that this world is rotten, it consist of people whose greedy for money and powers. So why would I save them?


They aren't worthy to be saved.


"I'm going to tell you everything I know about that power. But promised me one thing,"
 


     This girl was suspected as a reason why my father died in a bloody way, yet, here I am, talking to her, telling me I need to do a promise.


What are her motives?


Pinaglaruan niya ba ako?


"We have contract but it doesn't mean that you can demand anything from me," mariing sambit ko.
 


  Sumeryeso ang mukha niya. Pinakatitigan ko ang mata niya at nakita ko doon ang biglang pagbabago.


"I know you're here not to help humans, but to investigate me, Xaria Lin Menoa."

     Ngumisi ako, pero hindi nagbago ang mukha niya. So she knew that I'm using her?

What now? 


Pero nawala lahat ng pangamba ko nang makita kong wala siyang pakialam. 

     

"Nevermind, I just want you to promise that you'll never tell anyone about our conversation lalo na si Adri Fys Fuegos, ang kaibigan mo."
  


 Mabilis ang pagkunot ng noo ko.


"Why are you involving Adri now?"
 


    Wala akong balak pagkatiwalaan ang babaeng ito. Pero wala rin akong tiwala kay Adri.


Every people I trusted used to betray me.


"I suspect that she'll be a spy of centro."


      Naging matunog ang pagngisi ko at sarkasmo sa bibig ko.


"I know that,"


   Kita ko ang gulat sa mga mata niya. Hindi ako mangmang. Bata palang kami alam ko na ang ginagawa ni Adri.


   But I choosed not to cut my ties with her.  She doesn't know herself nor her destination.


   I keep on understanding her even though I'm being used and being reported. Because I'm too nice. But, that's not the case now.


    Ang mukha ni Zenia ay seryoso pero sa di maipaliwanag na dahilan, may lungkot na sumisilay sa mga mata niya.


"One thing I've learned from the past is that, everything change. Don't expect that your friend from yesterday will still be your friend today."


    Sambit niya. Maybe she can read me. That I still have trust on Adri despite the fact that I know she has many secrets.


      Pero, nanatili pa rin ang nakatuon kong mata sa kanya.


    Well,  She really has a point, Deiou once betrayed me, Adri too. And I should remember all those betrayals so that I won't get swayed.


I need to control my emotions more.


"She will be part of the chosen of Pnevmas starting tommorow Xaria,"


      Sa lahat ng sinabi niya ay ito ang nakakuha ng pansin ko. So, Adri has more secrets?


"Anak sa labas si Adri, alam kong alam mo iyan, Xaria. But I bet she doesn't tell you the real her."



"Ang mga napili ng Pnevmas ay may simbolo na pagkabata palang at binibantayan ng mga espirito hanggang mag edad na pito para masiguro ang kaligtasan. Adri Fys Fuegos we're locked in an old mansion of Fuegos family, alam mong ang mga anak sa labas ay mabilis na pinapatapon ng mga mayayaman o pinapatay dahil sa takot na masira ang reputasyon nila. Sa kaso ng kaibigan mo, hindi yun nila magagawa, dahil may nakabantay sa kanya at isa siya sa napili."


        Because I know what Adri's doing, I thought I know everything. But it seems that Adri is really good at keeping secrets.


Ang pagsasabi sakin ni Miss Zenia ngayon ay katunayan na hindi ko nga talaga alam o kilala si Adri.


     She know every details of my life. How my father is called traitor, how we got enslaved by the Centro, and how I suffered hell because of the prejudice that this world has.


"Isa akong Fótia, Xaria!"


    Wala akong karapatan manghimasok sa buhay ni Adri, pero tingin ko sobra-sobra na talaga siya. Akala ko mapuputol ko na ang koneksyon ko sa kanya pag napabilang ako sa Luna pero hindi...


    Bigla pa akong napatingin kah Zenia nang may kinuha siya sa coat niya.


"I also conclude that it's enough reason to suspect her as a spy because of the notes of the centro."



Mabilis akong napatingin kay Miss Zenia nang magbigay siya sakin ng liham. Sobrang bigat ng pakiramdam ko habang binabasa ko ito.


      Adri Fys Fuegos, as a candidate from heaven and a chosen by Pnévma of fire shall be a member of Centro to protect the weak.


   This letter certified the illegibility of Adri to become part of Organization of Agios that was held In Central of Arious University.


   The Centro ask the school organization to make Adri Fys Fuegos as part of both Pnevmas and Agios.

From the House of Justice,
Centro


"So now, will you promised that you'll never tell our conversation to anyone?"


         I can't feel any emotion inside me. Zenia is a suspect, yet, she's the most reliable person I could rely on for today. I'm still oblivious at everything. I need informations and data. 


"Yeah, I promise."
