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

"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
Curse of the Fallen Deity Chapter 20: Back to the Palace
"ARA, come on," said Shaye as she pulled me out of my seat but I remained still."I don't wanna go, okay?" tugon ko ng hindi siya tinitignan. "Saka mo na ako guluhin kapag sa palace na ang punta niyo."Napanguso siya at binitawan ako. She sat beside me before speaking, "You have to go. Minsan lang tayo makapag-bonding. Pwede namang humiwalay tayo sa ibang Arcane kung ayaw mong kasama sila."I faced her. "And what makes you think na gusto kitang kasama?"Natigilan siya sa sinabi ko at bahagyang napayuko. Pero agad din siyang nag-angat ng tingin at ngumiti na alam kong peke lang. "Okay, sige. Babalitaan na lang kita kapag nakabalik na kami," aniya sa mababang boses. She stood up and without looking back, she strode off out of my bedroom. Napabuntong-hininga ako at napairap. I stood up and followed her footsteps. 'Di pa siya masyadong nakakalayo. Tahimik lamang siyang naglalakad at nakayuko. Napailing na lamang ako. Dram
Curse of the Fallen Deity Chapter 21: His Bloodline
TILA nablangko ang utak ko habang nakatitig kay Shaye. Tahimik akong tumalikod at umupo sa may kalakihang bed sa gitnang parte ng kwarto. My hand started to tremble, not because of fear, but anticipation. I have been with Shaye for a month now. I knew from the moment I learned her relations, that she could help me... that I could use her. Pero hindi ko lubos akalain na may isang taong makakapagpatunay sa krimen na ginawa ng hayop na hari nila.I looked up. Her face was filled with confusion. She was staring at me as if trying to figure out what I was thinking. Napakagat ako sa labi ko at tumayo. I walked towards her. "What else do you know about the king?" tanong ko. Bakas sa boses ko ang lamig at panginginig nito. Shaye blinked a couple of times bago bumalik sa reyalidad. "That's the only secret I found out about him."It was enough. Shaye knew about the crime, about the death. Although she wasn't aware that it was me."Hold
Curse of the Fallen Deity Chapter 22: Journey to Rovuille
ATYA tightened her grip on my hand as we passed through the crowd. Papunta kami sa sakayan dahil naisipan ni Genesis na ipasyal kami sa city nila. This will be my first time seeing someone's home. "She's glaring at me, Princess." I turned my gaze on Atya and found her pointing at Snow's direction. Inirapan ako ni Snow bago binilisan ang paglakad at sumabay kay Carwell na nasa unahan. I was against bringing this kid with us too but leaving her alone with no home nor parents would be too... I don't know... cruel?I swallowed a ton of saliva at the thought of my choice. Hindi ko na talaga alam kung bakit nagkakaganito ako. I knew that this kid would bring nothing but annoyance yet I still insisted on taking her. Napailing na lang ako at ngumiti ng peke. "Hayaan mo na siya."Atya went silent after my remark. The silence continued until we reached the carriage that would take us to Rovuille City. Mas

"DO you think she's awake?""Yeah, she's listening," boses ng isang lalaki. "Morning, Belacour."Napabalikwas ako ng bangon. What the hell? Anong ginagawa ng mayabang na 'to sa kwarto ko?!I glared at Carwell. He was smirking as he stroke Atya's hair. Bumaba ang tingin ko sa nakangising bata na nakahiga sa hita niya. Nakakadiring tingnan. "Wala ka bang sariling kwarto?""Mayro'n," sagot niya. "I'm only here to tell you that the healer arrived earlier. I've been waiting for you to wake up five minutes ago.""Bakit ba 'di niyo na lang ako ginising? At bakit kailangan mo pang mag-stay rito? Nakakadiri ka," naiinis kong sambit. Nagtinginan sila ni Atya at sabay na nailing. Ano bang trip ng mga 'to?Tumayo ako at mabilis na pumasok sa banyo. Kasing lawak ng isang normal na kwarto ang banyo nila. May bathtub, shower, at sa kabilang gilid ay ang toilet. May dalaw
Curse of the Fallen Deity Chapter 24: The King of Ambergail
"ARE we already in Ambergail?" I asked Carwell beside me. His eyes were busy looking around but he nodded. "This is a part of Ambergail but the palace is in the south." He turned his gaze on me. "If you want to rest for the night, there's an inn nearby.""No," I immediately responded. "We promised to go back before the sun rises."Pinanliitan niya ako ng mata. "You promised."He, then, continued to look around. Napabuntong hininga na lang ako. Time is against us in this quest. Kailangan kong makuha agad ang amulet na tinutukoy ni Mallá para magising na sila. Gaya ni Carwell, umupo ako sa isang inukit na bato sa may gilid at nagmasid sa paligid. We've been walking for hours already. I hate to admit but I wouldn't get this far without this arrogant guy's help. Mukhang alam na alam niya ang pasikot-sikot dito. Especially the Great Bridge. I thought it was really invisible, I couldn't even use my power. It turned out I was under an illusion the moment I stepped foot on the bridge, ju
Curse of the Fallen Deity Chapter 25: The Deal
"WHAT the fuck?" gulat kong bulalas.Tumawa lamang ang hari sa reaksyon ko. Naglakad siya at nilampasan ako saka lumabas na sa silid pero bago iyon ay may pahabol pa siya, "Think about it, my lady. Go back with nothing but disappointment or be my queen and save what needs to be saved." 'Tsaka siya kumindat at tuluyan na akong iniwan. Wala sa isip akong naglakad palabas at hinanap ang anino ni Carwell. Gaya noong iniwan ko siya, ganoon pa rin ang posisyon niya. Naramdaman niya siguro ang presensya ko dahil bigla siyang lumingon. "Failed, yes?"Mukhang inaasahan niya na talaga ang magiging sagot ng hari sa hiling namin. Sobrang misteryoso talaga ng lalaking ito. Wala silang pinagkaiba ni Genesis."It depends on my response," sagot ko. It seemed like he did not expect my answer. Masyado ba siyang kumbinsido na tatanggihan talaga ako ng tuluyan ng hari?"That's new," usal niya. Tumayo siya at kunot-noong tumingin sa 'kin. "What was the deal? Kung hindi ka niya tinanggihan, siguradong m
Curse of the Fallen Deity Chapter 26: The Return
THE key to tame a dragon is to find its weakness, to learn from it and use it. That was what I thought I would stand with for the rest of my life. There was no room for sympathy in me, and perhaps that's because I never received any of that from everyone I tried to love. I lived for years and years thinking that nothing is ever good in life. And I believed that. But I cannot deny it from myself that this world is starting to prove that my belief was wrong. Nakahain na sa harap ko ang kahinaan ng isa sa aking mga kalaban, pero bakit hindi ko magawang gamitin? Bakit ako nagdadalawang-isip? This isn't me anymore. Para saan pa ang ilang taon kong pagsasanay kung sinasalungat na ng aking puso ang isip ko?"Baka malunod ka na sa sobrang lalim ng iniisip mo," Genesis' voice echoed in my ear. Dahil dito ay napalingon ako sa kaniya. Isa pa ang lalaking 'to. Sino ba talaga siya? Sa lahat ng Arcanes, siya lang ang tanging nakakabasa ng isip at galaw ko. Like he could see me behind the ve
