Starlight Academy: The Ophiuchus

SA52:The History Of The Zodiacs

SENLYX

And she dissapeared.

My tears all went out and my knees felt so weak. Rana Can't do this to us, she has a good heart and i know that. She stole my powers, but that made me stronger. I should be thankful, she brought me back to life. I can't be mad at her.

I looked at my kuya and saw him staring at the dust left my Rana as tears left his eyes.

Linapitan ko ito at yinakap. "You know that she can't do that to us kuya. She loves you..she loves us." I sniffed burying my face on his shoulders.

I had never seen him this inlove since ate Oriel. Sa totoo nga mas minahal pa ata ni kuya si Rana, he was just denying it but those times when they were rivals he was enjoying it. I know my brother too well. He must be a jerk but when his inlove, he gives his all. Pupunuin ka niya ng pagmamahal hanggang sa hindi mo na siya kayang iwan pa.

I witnessed that love with them. I saw how the both of them looks at each other and it makes me so happy, knowing that my dearest friend is finnally in good hands. At ganun din sa kuya ko.

"Enly.."

I looked at my Brother and saw him looking away. Everything might be still processing on his mind and i don't blame him at all.

Humiwalay ako kay kuya tsaka ito nginitian. I know my Brother well didn't i say that earlier? And he is a jerk, he is a sucker for Love. Kaya't alam na alam ko ang iniisip nito ngayon.

"She lives in the village of Mirlia, we could just ask around there." I smiled at him.

He looked at me then nodded gathering all of his strength as he looks at the sullen people around us. Bigla namang nagsipasukan ang mga kawal at pinalibutan ang buong gem room, and like us natigilan sila ng makitang wala na ang dragon gem.

"There's no time for breakdowns, I'll go find her."

"I'll come!" Hinatak ko ang braso nito at nakanguso siyang tiningnan. Hidni pwedeng maiwan ako dito at hintayin ibalik niya si Rana noh, i need to do something.

"Sasama din ako." Pinunasan ni Tim ang mga luha nito tsaka humawak din sa braso ni kuya. When he realized it he gave a peace sign to my Brother then looked at the remaining people with us.

"Ofcourse I'll come, she saved my life." Vin smiled.

"Im still shock but that doesnt mean i hate her. I'll come." Lumapit din si Vine at hinawakan ang kamay ni Tim. Im so happy to know that some still believes in her, at isa na ko sa kanila.

"I Love Rana." Halsier said that made my Brother roll his eyes. Nagtawanan lang ang mga ito, walang kibo namang lumapit sa amin si aron at nagkibit balikat na parang tanga. At first he was the most silent one, pero simula nung naging sila na ni Clefa para siyang timang.

"She's a tough women, Im amazed." Clefa smiled then came to my side.

Rana, if only you're seeing this.

Hindi nagsalita si yui at Jentzen at nakangiting lumapit sa amin kaya't napatawa ako ng bahagya sa mga ngiti ng mga ito. Para kaming tanga you know. Then my gaze moved to Bernadette, Rana's enemy pero peace na naman ata sila ah. We can't blame her for speaking for us earlier, she did great.

Nakangiti akong lumapit dito at hinawakan ang kamay niya. She looked at me then without warning i pulled her to us.

"OPERATION TO RANA, STARTS NOW!" Sigaw ni Tim na kinangiwi ko. Nagsihiyawan kaming lahat paalis habang walang kibo ang mga kawal na nawiwirduhan na sa amin. Akala ata nila hahanapin na namin yung gem, pero ganun narin yun diba kasi nakay Rana yung gem.

No one interrupted us on the way to the carriage, not even the king himself. We are the elites, they might have thought that we are doing our jobs for those lazy asses. Imagine, mga teenager ang nagliligtas ng mga mamamayan sa Starlight. What's the Point of those knights?

Umupo ako sa tabi ni kuya at hinawakan ang kamay nito. "She'll be ok. You'll be ok." I smiled.

"She's tough diba? Malalagpasan niya lahat ng bumubulabog sa kaniya. Baka nakakalimutan mo, nakaligtas nga siya sa bunganga ng pating eh. She even easily defeated the opponent you were struggling with." I smirked.

"And..she tamed the jerk prince!!"

Napangiti ito sa sinabi ko at hinila ako palapit sa akin. Sinubsob nito ang mukha ko sa dibdib niya at ginulo ang buhok ko. "Yahhh! Stop that!"

After hours of going back to the Starlight Academy i looked at ate zela. Hindi padin talaga ako makapaniwalang siya si carmilla, nasabi na din niya sa akin na yung bagong Prof namin na si sir yuilko ay si Lord demetruis. Like How in the world?

"What do you think will happen?" I asked her that made her look at me. Pati ang mga kasama namin ay napatingin sa kaniya dahil sa tanong ko. She heaved a sigh as she looked out the window.

"War."

"Everything can be resolved through forgiveness right?" I bit my lips.

"Maybe but, i don't think this is just a mere family problem. Ramdam kong may iba pang nakasukibat sa puno't dulo nito. Rana won't be this determined to stop him if she knew it was just him. May kutob akong hindi lang ang pamilya namin ang madadamay dito. I'm afraid..—

She paused then looked at us. Nakakakaba na talaga ang athmosphere ngayon at parang sa isang pikit mo lang, mawawala na ang nais mo saiyo.

—that the Starlight world, will come to an end."

Her words sends me shivers. Paano kong mabura na talaga ang Starlight world sa buong mundo ng Zeria? What will happen to us? To everyone living on this world.

"Gharnia will protect us." I murmurred.

"So..Voltaire Isn't at all?" Biglang tanong ni kuya na kumuha muli sa atensyon namin. Tumango si ate zela dito.

"Like any creatures Voltaire and Gharnia mated years ago, That's how the 12 constellations were created. Every zodiac sign, has the blood of Voltaire." All of us looked at the old lady beside us and was shock to see her smiling at us.

At saan naman nanggaling si Lola? Has she been listening to us all this time?

"And Voltaire himself, saw how the world will be better if he create someone who could protect these 12 constellations. With his own pains, knowledge, wisdom, blood, and power. He created the 13th zodiac sign that became a threat to the others, that is the ophuichus." She explained. May mga pinakita pa itong mga simbolo ng ophuichus sa amin sa kaniyang palad na kinamangha ko.

"But, someone seems to be not in favor of this new zodiac.  For the ophuichus has the power to steal powers, and they have the blood that runs through demons and vampires. Four zodiacs remained and the Leo and Scorpio worked together to eliminate the ophuichus."

Leo...and Scorpio? Out of Envy?

"But the ophuichus was powerful enough to remain. Gharnia stepped in and vanished them from the place called paradise. The four of them dissapeared, and never cameback."

That's a tragic story.

"Wait, sino po kayo? Bakit niyo sinasabi sa amin ito?" Tanong ko dito. Ngumiti ito sa akin tsaka pinakita ang mga Gemini signs sa kamay niya.

"I'm a friend of Rana. The first holder of the Gemini sign, Detra."
