Himeko
Napatigil kaming dalawa ni Lisandrei nang may isang Animang humarang sa harapan namin. Hinabol pa niya ang hininga niya bago mapatayo ng maayos.
"Uh, Captain Lisandrei, iniimbita ka po ni Lady West sa isa pang meeting," napalapit pa siya sa amin sabay bulong. "Peace talk dao."
Napatango-tango naman si Lisandrei na parang naiintindihan yung pinapahiwatig ng lalake.
"Ngayon na ba yan?" tanong ko.
"Opo, lunch po dao kasi eh," sabi pa nung Anima.
Matapos nun, nagpaalam naman siya para i-inform ang iba pang mga Kapitan. He already relayed to us the details about this 'lunch talk'.
I glanced at Lisandrei. She was serious and quiet about it.
"Lisa," I nudged at her shoulder.
"It's a peace talk," sabi pa niya at malalim ang iniisip.
"What does that mean? Is that a code for something?"
"Parang meeting na din. Pero mas gigisahin ang mga Kapitan dito. It's more of a verbal fight that's likely to happen inside," medyo seryoso niyang sagot.
Mabilis siyang naglakad sa ibang direksyon habang sinundan ko naman siya.
"A-Are you going to be okay, though?" medyo taranta kong tanong. Ngayon ko lang 'to narinig.
I haven't heard of this kind of meeting.
"I'll be fine," she flashed her confident smirk. The one I was familiar with.
Natigilan ako saglit dahil sa napansin ko.
Her eyes sparkled with determination and cunningness.
It's Lisandrei, so why should I be worried again?
Napangisi ako habang pailing-iling na sumunod sa kanya.
Sa ibang Kapitan siguro ako maaawa na gigisahin niya.
After passing multiple people and multiple hallways, we arrived in front of a stone door.
"May the Gods be with you, and the forces of evil grow confused on your path to victory," I say.
She halted. I crossed my arms as I faced her.
"You memorized that?" medyo gulat niyang tanong at parang nasisiyahan.
I smirked and continued.
"—As fortune favors the daring and the brave."
She grinned and we ended the phrase.
"And he who has overcome his fear will truly be free of the shackles from the anticipation of evil."
That's one of the sayings I learned in this Empire if you wish someone luck. 'May the Gods be with you, and the forces of evil grow confused on your path to victory. As fortune favors the daring and the brave. And he who has overcome his fear will truly be free of the shackles from the anticipation of evil.'
"Ingat ka," dugtong ko.
"You too."
Me too?
She was now removing her weapons with her. Peace talk dao kasi. Kapag ganoon, wala dao sandatang lalagpas sa loob.
Everyone inside must be unequipped and defenseless.
"I'll go ahead."
I nodded as I was now equipping her weapons.
