Chapter 11: Petrification Magic
THE FAMILIAR scent of the academy's lawn greeted me as I stepped inside through the massive gate. Bitbit ang aking backpack, tinahak ko ang daan patungo sa opisina ni Boris. Walang masyadong estudyanteng pagala-gala ngayon dahil nga hindi pa opisyal na nagsisimula ang klase.
Ngayon na nakabalik na ako sa akademya, hindi ko maiwasang madismaya sa sarili. It was my damn chance to kill that fucking king! All thanks to Mr Shawth. Masyadong pakialamero. He tailed the king wherever he goes and that was a total blow against my plan.
"Oh hey, Ara!" Huminto ako at lumingon sa pinanggalingan ng boses. "Nakabalik ka na pala," said Third, followed by Genesis whose shirt was unbuttoned, making a lot of girls squeal every time he passes.
Feeling gwapo rin ang mayabang na 'to.
"You're back," Genesis said while staring at me. Ngumisi siya at bahagyang tumagilid para ipakita ang nakabukas niyang butones. Napairap na lamang ako.
Ano bang nakai

"Who are you?""Ara Belacour," I replied in a matter-of-fact tone.She grunted and picked herself up, pero hindi nakatakas sa paningin ko ang pangangatog ng kanyang tuhod.Such a coward."I'm not stupid." She successfully managed to stand straight. "Sino ka?"Napairap ako at pinagkrus ang braso. "Are you deaf?"Demi slammed her stone goblet on the floor. Nilamon ng ingay nang pagbagsak nito ang kabuuan ng cafeteria, but what took me was how the floor where the goblet was slammed formed a slight crack. Gano'n ba kalakas ang kapangyarihan niya para masira pati ang sahig ng building na ito?The students weren't even surprised as much I am. They're probably used to seeing this woman pisses her ass off. How does throwing objects help one's anger, anyway?"Who's behind the Ara Belacour everyone is talking about?" she uttered. Her gaze sharpened. There was something in there that I could
Curse of the Fallen Deity Chapter 13: The Break-In
I ALMOST JUMPED on the spot as the academy's bell suddenly rang. There was an eerie ding-dong filling the whole campus. Palipat-lipat ang tingin ko sa mga pinto sa aking harapan.Should I—? I shook my head.This is not the right time for this.Not now that the bell had rung and the student councils will be roaming around to see other students skipping classes. Added the fact that everyone will suspect my absence.I shot a suspicious look at the smallest door and sighed, then I turned around, walking my way out of the eerie place. Bagsak ang balikat ko habang naglalakad pabalik sa aming silid-aralan. Students were passing by, walking along with me in the same direction. Some of them gave a second to stare at me weirdly while some did not mind at all.Another step and I reached the familiar door of the Arcane's classroom. My face was blank and stiff as I entered without knocking. Bumungad akin ang mga lukot n
Curse of the Fallen Deity Chapter 14: Carwell's Loss
"KEEP IT SILENT, ARA. Let's investigate in our own ways," Genesis' voice echoed in my head.Indeed, he knew— both of us knew... But how come? Imposible na hindi alam ni Boris ang mga nangyayari sa paaralan na 'to o kahit si Carwell man lang. There must be someone whose behind all these.There was a knock after knock on my bedroom's door, making me shook in surprise. I have been quite skittish these days, cautious perhaps, for some reason. Tahimik akong tumayo at pinagbuksan ang kumatok. Just as who I expected."Yes?" Tinaasan ko ng kilay si Shaye."Can we talk?""We're already talking," nayayamot kong sagot at umirap.She forced a smile. "I meant, talk — like in private. Just the two of us," she said.I lifted my shoulders in a shrug and let her in. She helped herself sit on my bed. Looking up to me, her face fell. "I don't think it's you who did it."I sniggered. "I don't c
Curse of the Fallen Deity Chapter 15: Operation
The sky was starting to gloom when I reached the balcony of the Arcane tower. Carwell, who was looking like someone who eats hatred every minute, stared blanky at me. There was Genesis, too, who approach me with a wide smile. Estelle, Rhysan and the others were focused on reading their papers containing all the lists of clues or something that might help them solve the indicident that happened yesterday.I couldn't refrain myself from yawning. Kailan pa ba sila matatapos? Ano ba kasing naisip ni Boris at ginawa niya akong leader ng mga 'to? Dagdag lamang sila sa iisipin ko.Snow stood up, wearing her usual maldita look. Naglakad siya papalapit sa'kin at biglang inihagis ang bitbit niyang notebook. "Why don't you help us instead of yawning? You're the leader so act like one!""Snow, stop that," pagsingit ni Genesis. He looked at me worriedly but I couldn't care less.Third, who was sitting behind him, stood up. He held Snow's arm an
Curse of the Fallen Deity Chapter 16: The Journey
I got up on my knees in silence. Dahan dahan akong lumabas sa tent kung saan kami nagpapahinga nang hindi gumagawa ng kahit katiting na ingay, and the only way to achieve that is transforming into my shadow form.I glided forwards through the air and felt the cold atmosphere embraced me. Sa wari ko'y madaling araw na ngayon.The Arcanes and I decided to stay for the night, with two tents for us girls and for boys. Hindi namin gustong mag-aksaya ng oras, lalo na ako, ngunit hindi rin kami makakapaglakbay ng maayos kung pasuray-suray sa antok itong mga kasama ko. Rinig na rinig ko pa rin ang pagragasa ng ilog mula sa malapitan pero wala ako sa mood para maligo ng ganito kaaga.Isang malalim na buntong hininga ang pinakawalan ko at umupo sa malaking bato sa harap ng bonfire na gawa ng mayabang na Carwell kagabi. Tanging ingay ng mga kuliglig at mahihinang pagpitik mula sa apoy lamang ang maririnig sa buong paligid, at kung sino man ang lalabas, aa
Curse of the Fallen Deity Chapter 17: The Royal's Cousin
Doubts and uncertainties are tied to humans. It will always be a part of our existence. Hindi ko mapipilit ang ibang tao na pagkatiwalaan ako ngunit hindi hihinto ang mundo ko dahil do'n. There is so much more that needs to be taken care of than these bunch of naives around me.Nanatili akong tahimik at diretso ang tingin sa dinadaanan namin. Tuluyan na nga kaming nakapasok sa gubat na ito at maingat na naglalakad para walang mahawakan na puno. Wala akong ideya kung totoo ba ang sinasabi nilang mangyayari kung may puno kang mahahawakan ngunit hindi na lamang ako nag-abalang alamin ang totoo. Hindi naman 'yan ang pakay namin dito.We just need to get out of here and end the drama. Simple.Pero itong mga kasama ko ang nagpapatagal ng misyong 'to. Lalong lalo na si Snow. Masyadong maarte."I wish we can use the portal already," aniya pa. "Kaawaan nawa ni Headmaster ang legs ko.""Tatahimik ka o puputulin ko 'yang baluktot mong
Curse of the Fallen Deity Chapter 18: Actyle Ruins
THE sun was now at its peak and we finally found our way out of the woods. Pahinto-hinto kami sa paglalakad dahil kailangan ng pahinga ni Rhysan. Gustuhin man naming magmadali, 'di naman namin siya pwedeng iwanan dito. Ngayong nakalabas na kami sa wakas, ilang minutong paglalakad na lang at maaari na naming gamitin ang portal. "Are you okay? Gusto mong magpahinga ulit?" rinig kong tanong ni Third kay Rhysan sa likuran. Kasabay ko si Shaye sa paglalakad, sa likuran naman namin ay sina Snow, Third, at Rhysan. 'Yung isang masungit naman ay piniling magbantay sa likod. "Yeah. Bwesit lang 'yong Almer na 'yon," Rhysan replied. Napakunot ang noo ko. Who's Almer? "Almer?" ani Third. "That guy na kumukontrol ng buhangin. He was the one who knocked me off." Napalingon ako kay Shaye na tahimik na nakikinig
Curse of the Fallen Deity Chapter 19: The Invitation
"The world is cruel, my princess," a familiar voice whispered, "but you can choose to be good amidst the bad."I dreamily looked up to his chiseled face and wrapped my tiny hands on his neck. "I want to be good, dad." The man caressed my back as he tightened the hug that I initiated. He smelt like fresh grass and wood, yet it was so pleasing to my nose.Kumalas siya sa yakap at lumapat ang labi niya sa noo ko. Then he whispered, "Daddy loves you, Aurora.""Ara? Is that you?""Belacour, wake up!""Oh my god, Ara!"Napabalikwas ako ng bangon mula sa matigas kong kinahihigaan nang sabay-sabay na tumakbo sa kinaroroonan ko ang mga pamilyar na mukha ng mga Arcane. They stopped right in front of me, panting, and their faces were filled with worry and confusion. They looked fine, no blood, no bruises."Hey, are you okay?" Napaangat ako ng tingin. Why is Genesis here? Tumawag ba sila ng back up?"Speak, Ara. May masakit ba sa 'yo?" he asked. Halos magsalu
