Sayans Academy: School for Magic

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

CHAPTER 17: Training with Ariella

Crizten's POV

WORLD sure sucks. Who would've thought that my another power source is the power source of my enemies? Who would've thought that I actually belong to their league?

Umiling ako. No, you don't belong to them, Crizten. You are just miserable enough to have the same power source they have. You don't belong to them, you belong to the Sayan tribe.

Or so I thought.

Akala ko ay masasagot na lahat ng katanungan ko kung sakaling mau-unlock ko ito. Akala ko, makikilala ko kung sino at ano ba talaga ako kapag naunlock ko ito.

Akala ko lang pala.

After unlocking my another power source, mas lalong dumami ang tanong sa isipan ko. Mas dumami ang how's, why's and there is some what's.

How did it happen?

Why do I have the same power they have?

Why is this happening to me?

What did I do to my past life to live such a miserable life?

What am I, really?

Where do I really belong?

Who really am I?

How should I react on this one?

How should I live in this Academy?

What should I do?

Should I learn it or leave it here…uncontrolled?

Muli kong naalala iyong oras kung kaylan kami muling nagkaharap ni Ariella. Yung unang beses na nalaman ko na Necromancer pala sya.

If you are here, cousin, what will you say? Will you laugh at me? Ibabalik mo ba sa akin iyong mga salitang sinabi ko sayo noon?

Or.... will you say that it's alright, that everything happens for a reason?

“Stop hurting yourself, Crizten. Please,” pakiusap ni Chino matapos kong muling suntukin iyong pader.

“Tell me first that its a dream,” mahina kong saad saka muling sinuntok ang pader. Hindi naman nakasagot si Chino kaya lalo lang akong nainis at sunod sunod na pinagsusuntok itong pader.

As how much I punch this pity wall, I realized that Im not dreaming, Im not sleeping. That Im awake. That this is true. I have the same power source the Necromancers has.

Muli ko na sanang susuntukin iyong pader nung matakid ako sa isang hindi kalakihang bato. I stumbled and fall into ground, miserably.

As I fall, I started crying out loud again. They say that cryin' is the best way to forget the pain, but... why do I keep on remembering it?

Im a half Sayan and half Necromancers. Yes, that's right.

“Crizten?” I almost laugh crazily as I heard her voice. My first sayan girl best friend.

Nag-angat ako ng tingin sa kanya, saka ngumiti. Ngiting hindi man lang nakaabot sa mga mata.

“Cassandra? Why are you still up?” Oh, hell, great. Now he's here too.

“Hello, Lucas.” pagtawag ko sa pansin nya. Lalapit na sana sya ng matigilan sya.

“There is a Necromancer here. I could feel its presence.” Mas lalo lamang akong naiyak dahil doon.

“Why do you keep on crying, Crizten? Something wrong?” tanong ni Cassandra.

Umiling ako. “N–Napuwing lang ako. Im alright, its alright—” natigilan ako sa pagsasalita nung muling umagos ang mga luha mula sa aking mga mata. Inis akong nagpapadyak sa lupa.
