Chapter 32: Dark Guild

AVA's POINT OF VIEW

NAPABUNTONG-HININGA ako nang natapos ko na sa wakas ang tent na tinatayo ko. We are staying outside the abandoned building here in Screzine. Malapit lang kami sa mga naninirahan sa bayang ito. We chose to use the tent we've got — ay, ako lang pala ang nagdesisyon. Ang creepy kasi doon sa loob ng building!

Lumabas ako sa tent matapos kong inayos ang loob. Darkness enveloped me as I got out of the tent. The crescent moon above the sky was togethere with stars. They gives light to the whole place despite of being dark. You can never appreciate the lightness without the dark.

Napayakap ako sa aking sarili nang umihip ang malakas na hangin dulot ng panlalamig ko. From where I am standing right now, the calm sea was directed to my eyes. It is described as a calm and serene surrounding.

Ngayon lang ulit ako nakakita ng dagat.

How I wish I can swim here without thinking the mission we need to fulfill. Idagdag pa ang bagong elemento na nadiskubre ko sa aking sarili. It's hard to accept this, lalo na't mahirap itonf gamitin tulad noong nakita ko si Jane na nahihirapang magensayo sa iba't ibang teknik para sa apoy.

"Anong iniisip mo?"

"Oh my, Fire!" gulantang kong sigaw. Agad kong nilingon ang gumulat sa'kin at sinamaan ng tingin. "When did you reach that place?"

Tumawa siya ng hilaw. "Sorry! Nagulat ata kita," aniya at nagpeace sign pa.

Umismid ako at inirapan siya. "Zoe, is there a book about the Gods and Goddesses?" bigla kong natanong. I don't know what gotten into me but I wanted to know about them. Bakit ba kasi wala ako noong tungkol sa kanila ang lesson?

"Huh? Bakit?" she curiously asked. "Pero, oo, merong libro tungkol sa kanila na nandoon sa library."

"Thanks, that's all what I wanted to know." naging sagot ko. I don't want anyone to know what I'm really thinking. Kahit pa ang mga malalapit kong mga kaibigan. Bumuntong hininga ako at pumasok na sa loob. I need to rest and use the energy I'd store for the mission for tomorrow.

THE TWO entity in front of me was my friend's parents, Sofia's. Hindi pa rin sila nagbabago at nanatiling mga mababait. They even let us eat first before going to place where the Dark Entities resides. Sofia is with them the whole time we're eating, probably missing each other. Pagkatapos naming kumain ay agad na kaming naglakbay papuntang hilaga ng bayan nila. Nandoon raw kasi ang mga kadiring nilalang.

We are together with the Mistry's knight to lead us the way. Akala ko mahihirapan pa kami sa paghahanap ng lokasyon sa kalaban. Turns out, they already know about this last week but didn't take an action.

They're afraid for the people who lives in this town to get involved. But little did they know, some of the villagers here went missing and when found only their dead bodies appeared. They think that the Dark Entities were behind those abductions and killing while absorbing their mana. There are rumors that they are doing some experiment with something.

I sighed again, thinking about the dream I had earlier instead of the mission we've facing now. Sino ang lalaking iyon? Hindi ko talaga siya kilala pero may nagsasabing dapat ko siyang kilalanin.

"Pansin ko lang, ah, madalas kang napapabuntong-hininga. May problema ka ba, Maureen?" rinig kong tanong ni Sofia. I noticed that all of them were looking at me with worried faces, except for Harrison who is just looking straight at the route.
