Tulala akong nakatingin sa walang buhay na katawan ni Alysia. Masyadong duguan ang katawan nito dahil sa pagkadagan sa puno.
Hindi pa rin tumitigil ang pag-agos nito mula sa kaniyang sugat.
"Ereina! P-please don't do this to me.."
Napatingin ako sa sahig na napuno ng kulay ginto na dugo mula sa aking kapatid. Nanginginig ang aking mga kamay.
Beside her was a familiar sword tainted with her ichor. It gleamed with dark magic. The sword was cursed.
Ang mga nakaukit sa espada...
Isa lamang pamilya ang mayroong ganitong klase na crest.
"Shhh, sister..." She smiled at me softly, brushing a few strands of hair away from my face.
"It's been a long time. I missed you."
"T-there must be a way. You can't die like this. I-I can't-" I struggled to find the right words. Pakiramdam ko ay bumalik ako sa pagkabata na nagmamakaawa sa aking kapatid.
Napasuka ito ng dugo. Mabilis kong pinahiran ang dugo na lumalabas mula sa kaniyang bibig. Nanginginig ang aking mga kamay.
"Ereina..."
"Octavia, listen. All of these are meant to happen. T-this must happen-"
"Deodamnatus! You're not going to die on me, Ereina! That's bullshit!"
Malungkot itong umiling sa akin. "D-dimitte mihi, soror."
Translation: Forgive me, sister.
Tumingin ako sa kaniyang mga mata. Tila'y matagal na niyang tanggap ang nangyayari na ngayon. Para bang matagal na niyang inaasahan ito. May bakas ng kalungkutan ang mukha niya ngunit walang senyales ng panlalaban akong nakikita mula sa kaniya
Hindi ko maintindihan kung paano niya tanggap ang lahat na ito.
"E-ereina, you can't die. Q-quaeso..." My voice broke.
"1638 years is too long already." Mahina itong tumawa.
"T-tempus est, soror. Kalahar ser victus."
Translation: It is time, sister. You will understand soon.
"Et ludere magnum munus ana veritas erit. Memento quod es clavem ad omnia..."
Translation: You will play a great role for you are the truth. Remember that you are the key to everything.
"I-It will be okay," she softly whispered, giving a faint smile of reassurance.
Those were her last words before the first goddess finally took her final breath.
When she died in my arms, I desperately tried to use my magic to heal her wound but the glow on her eyes was already starting to fade. There was no use at that point.
