Andora Academy 2: The Fire Guardian's Behalf

Chapter 9

Apollo and I are having breakfast together. Nasa cafeteria kami ngayon. Hindi na masyadong matao dahil oras na ng klase kaya malaya rin kaming nakakapag-usap ng walang nakakarinig.

"I have heard your plans. That's damn risky, Artemis. You've devoted yourself too much in that mission."
Sinamaan ako ng tingin ni Apollo. Fire ignited on his eyes but that does not scare a bit. Hah, why would I?

"In every mission, you always have to take the risk, Apollo. At isa pa, I'm not gonna do it alone."

Nagbaba kaagad ako ng tingin sa kinakain. His brows furrowed, asking for more complete information.
"Are you saying you'll keep Vladimir beside you?"
Tinaasan nya ako ng kilay. A small smirk is on his lips and oh, how I love to drown him right now.

"Hindi ko na isasama si Vlad. I'll take Aqua instead."

Napatuwid sya ng upo at ngumisi. I really don't like that face of him even though it resembles mine. We're twins afterall.

"Nga pala, bakit hindi ikaw ang sumama kay Daddy sa Penumbra?"
Sierra and Dad are going to that vampire's lair. It would have been better if it's Apollo instead of Sierra. Matuso pa naman ang mga bampira. My sister is strong and she can surely handle herself. However, Vampire's lair is just too dangerous for her.

"I got something to do. Si Sierra naman ang nagkusa kaya walang nagawa si Dad."

Dad's daughter weakness.

I sighed at sumubo ng white apple.
"Where's Soliel?"
Another sister of ours. The youngest.

"As usual."
Maikling sagot ni Apollo. Umiling iling nalang ako.

"Kailan ka babalik sa mortal realm?"

"As soon as possible. Kailangan ko pang puntahan si HM at si Esmeralda."

"Sabay na tayo kay Esmeralda. I have something to ask as well."

Panandaliang dumaan ang katahimikan sa hapag at tanging pagnguya lang namin ang pumaibababaw. Nasa meeting ang mga Alumnus samantalang binigyan naman ng misyon ang mga Elites. If you'll look at the Academy right now, parang walang pinagbago. Well, except for the stronger barrier at ang pag sealed sa kagubatan.

Sa bayan naman, nagpatupad ng curfew. Kadalasan kasing nawawala ang mga tao tuwing sasapit ang dilim. They've suspected the witches already pero sa dami ng nawawala, imposible na kung kagagawan yun nila. And what are they gonna do with those people anyway? I see no reason, unless they're proclaiming war against us.

And that's way impossible since they're our allies. Their clan are in great debt towards us. That's what I know.

"Those missing villagers and elementalist...wala ba talagang clue?"

He sighed hopelessly, at lumingo lingo.

"Gaano na ka layo ang pag iimbistiga mo?"

He look up, and starred at me. Alam ko'ng frustrated narin sya ngayon dahil sa mga sunod-sunod na nangyayari, idagdag pa kung may kinalaman talaga ang mga bampira sa pagkamatay ng isang studyante.

"Siren's island. Ang sabi ni Sierra, umaabot na raw ang tinig nila sa Encantaria kaya baka naakit ang mga tao doon. Pero wala silang kinalaman. Siren's are loyal to us afterall. At isa pa, I'm sure they'll taste your wrath if they ever get involve in this current crisis."

Umirap lang ako. And here I thought they already investigated the underworld. Pupweding may kinalaman sila sa mga nangyayari ngayon. Maraming masasamang elementalist ang naroon, at kahit pa may kaukulang parusa silang matatanggap kung sakaling sumuway sila sa batas ng underworld, that's not enough for them to bring chaos in Encantaria.
