"How can we escape the dark that keeps on pulling us not to do so? How can we aim our long awaited freedom if we are weak enough not to do so?"
Pinakita sa akin ng konseho ang susunod na target kong papatayin. Yes you read it right, papatayin.
In our place where the rate of killings is always at the highest. No wonder how we got always at the top of the most dangerous place compared to every country
Labing-tatlong taon na ang nakakalipas mula nang naging Punong konseho at tagapagpangalaga ng lugar si Adler. Sa pag-aakalang kami ay mailigtas sa kahirapan ay nawaglit nang siya na ang umupo sa itaas
Simple. Kami ay naging biktima sa kaniyang mga walang kwentang salita
My mom was once assigned in the clinic, to help and aid her comrades. She's kind. She's beautiful. Nasa kaniya na raw ang lahat ika-nga
The 3rd war came. The war where the people of the country was against the council's will. Both sides agreed with the war. They declared war
As they fought not just for their freedom but also for their lives
Until she met my dad at the midst of fighting their freedom.
No one knew what happens next. Basta bigla nalang dawng umatras ang mga kalaban nila. Dineklara nilang nanalo sila sa laban
Dineklara nilang nagwagi silang nakamit ang kalayaang hinahangad
2 years had past and I was born. My mom says it was their happiest moment the time they heard my loud cry
My loud cry that was covered with a loud bang
My loud cry that was also chorused by begs and cries of their comrades
My loud cry in the midst of choosing life and death
Nakakagulat man ay muling dumating ang mga kalaban nila. They're aiming for victory, while we are aiming for liberty.
Kompara noon ay marami na sila. Paniguradong walang laban ang panig nila papa
Unfortunate things happens. My dad died protecting us
They won. They ruled
My mom was raped by one of the council, and was abducted and killed
And without any choice, I am declared as their slave/soldier
"Nakikinig kaba Azalaura?!"
"Y-yes sir"
"Good. Sana naman nagkakaintindihan na tayo dito."
Ramdam ko ang panginginig ng buong sistema ko. Magkahalong galit at takot lamang ang nararamdaman ko
Gusto ko nalang pumatay ng konseho. Konsehong kanina ay kaharap ko
Hindi na nag-aksaya ng oras ay agad akong kumilos paalis sa nakakasukang lugar na iyon
Muli kong pinagmasdan ang litrato at nakita ang isang lalaking nakamaskara. Nakatakip lamang iyon sa kaniyang mga mata. May magkahalong kulay ng itim, pula at kayumanggi ang kulay ng kaniyang maskara
Napabuntong hininga na lamang ako ng mapagtanto kong mayroon na namang dadanak na dugo sa mga kamay ko
At wala akong magagawa dahil isa lamang akong aliping susunod-sunod sa mga gusto ng nakakataas.
