The Child Of Stygians (Stygians Duology #1)

Chapter 61: Wish

Xaria's P. O. V.

"BLOOD....."

Halos hindi ko makilala ang sarili kong boses dahil sa sakit. Isinaksak ni Mavic ang isang balisong sa palad ko.

"Don't worry Xaria Lin Menoa, onced he appear, your wounds would instantly heal."

Nangisi ako at natawa na parang nababaliw.

"W-who are you trying to summon?" Ngisi-ngising tanong ko, di inaalintana ang pagtagas ng dugo sa palad ko.

Ngumisi sa akin si Mavic. Pinaglaruan niya ang isa pang balisong sa palad niya. Napansin ko ang himlayan ko, ang dugong dumadaloy palabas sa sugatang palad ko ay hindi nasasayayang, pumapaikot ito sa akin. May spell circle na nakaguhit sa mismong hinihigaan ko!

"There is a book of propecy that Xarious has found during his journey. During that time, only Zenia and him know that. They have keep the book secret and hide it."

Kasabay nang pagtarak niya sa isang pang balisong sa kaliwang kamay ko ay ang sigaw ko. Halos hindi ko maramdaman ang sakit dahil namamanhid na ang kanang kamay ko, marahil sa pagkaubos ko sa dugo.

"That book contains forbidden spell. It is a book that contains how to free the God of darkness, Haelous..."

Wala sa sariling napatitig ako sa mata niya nang magbago ito, kitang kita ko ngayon ang galit sa mata niya.

"This world has forsaken by the creator because of the sins of many people. It's the time when the god of darkness appeared. Helping those who worshipped him. Diableries is a land pure of cultivation before. Those lands which diableries where they're living became a land pure of rich plants."

"But Ariouses is a traitor! They killed our ancestors because of greediness. Because they are envious that Lord Haelous is in favor of us. Their ancestors offer their souls as a sacrifice for Pnevmas to cast a cursed on us and to kill or to imprisoned Haelous! There's no days diableries cries because of hunger! The children you saw and those people! They are seeking for only food! The land that once bounty of fruits, the rivers which gives us fresh water! The Pnevmas casted a cursed which brought plagues and misfortune!"

Nakapikit ako sa sakit na nararamdaman mula sa duguan kong mga kamay.

Pero habang tinitignan ko ang galit na mukha ni Xero o Mavic o kung sino man siya; nalulungkot ako.

Nalulungkot ako dahil kahit kailan, hindi ko nakita sa mga Arious na kinalakihan ko na magalit dahil may biktima ng batas nila.

I've read the stories of many book saying because Diableries is good for witchcrafts— they are bad. But no, I've seen in the eyes of those people that they are innocent. Those children were just victims.

"Will the hunger that those diableries experiencing will no longer bother them onced Haelous is back?"

Tinignan ko si Xero. Lumuluha ang mata niya. Parang mula sa isang sadista na tao ay lumambot siya at parang tao na nanghihingi lang ng hustisya.

"Y-yes."

"Then I order you to free him already. Stabbed me even it would cost my life."

This life maybe wasn't mine in the first place.

Natawa siya, "You're dumb like your father, but also kind."

Nahinto siya at wala sa sariling tumingin ng malungkot sa lupa.

"The books said that the person who has dual elements can acquire a God of Darkness as her shadow." Tumango ako sa sinabi ni Xero.

That's why they're after me.

I don't care now if Ariouses will die after they free Haelous. But,

"Can I have a wish." 

Nakita ko ang sinseridad sa mata niya. Father always talked about this man. Saying he's a good man. Sorroundings and circumstances can really make a person evil.

"What is it?"

Tumingin ako sa dugo na umaagos mula sa dalawang palad ko. Pakiramdam ko nahihilo na ako dahil sa dugong nawala. Hindi ko alam kung aabutin pa ba ako ng bukas dahil dito.

"Save my mother and sister from Ariouses. That's my only wish."
