The Chosen One [ON GOING]

/11/ The Start

XYVE'S POV

Pagpasok ko ng room ko ay naabutan kong nakahilata sa sofa si Swiper. Naghihilik pa. Tsk. Kain tulog lang siguro ang ginawa nito buong araw.

Hinayaan ko nalang siya at umakyat sa kwarto after kong isarado at ilock ang pinto.

I looked at the watch only to find out na quarter to 10 na pala. Wala kaming klase bukas kasi ilalaan ito sa training for the incoming levelling exam. Either group or individual training, its up to you. Pwede kang magtrain sa field or sa training rooms.

Okay lang naman sa'kin ang magtrain but I have something to do tomorrow. I want to start looking for answers sa mga tanong ko. I want to know what it feels like to be complete. Kasi all my life, I felt like I am a nobody, How can I be myself kung hindi ko maalala ang pinanggalingan ko. Who are my parents? Why am I away from them? Hindi naman ako galit or what kasi there must be a reason why I was taken from them and let Mamu took care of me until I am ready. Until I am ready to seek and step up on my own. Yeah, I feel like a lost puppy.

Hindi na muna ako magte-train bukas. I want to go to the library tomorrow. Baka merong clues doon.

After a few minutes of thinking, hindi ko na namalayan na nakatulog na pala ako.

* XYVE'S DREAM*

I open my eyes and see that wala na ako sa kwarto ko. Parang nasa isa akong kawalan na sobrang dilim. Suot ko pa'rin ang damit ko kanina bago ako makatulog.

"Hello?! Is anybody here?!" Tanong ko, my voice echoed.

It is like I am trapped in a cage or a chamber.

"Walk straight my dear."

Napaigtad ako sa gulat nang may narinig akong magsalita. Its a she at malumay ang tinig, mukhang mahinhin. Out of nowhere, natatagpuan ko nalang ang sarili ko na sinunod ang sinabi niya. I just walked straight, at hindi din nagtagal ay may nakita akong kakaunting liwanag.

"Follow the light."

Narinig ko na namang nagsalita ang babae. I instinctively follow her instructions without hesitations.

Hindi ko alam pero merong parti sa'kin na nagsasabing sundin siya. As I walked throug further palapit narin ako ng papalapit sa liwanag. Nang oras na bigla nalang nag-iba ang paligid. Kung kaninang pawang at purong dilim lang ngayon, puno na ng nagkikislapang mga bituin. It is like I am in the middle of a milky way. This is enchanting.

Ngayon ko din napansin na bigla na ding nagbago ang damit ko. Napangiwi ako ng kaunti kasi para namang ang sobrang daring ng damit na ito.

Its a tube white dress na merong slit sa right leg ko na simula sa mga five inches below sa bewang ko that makes it "daring" to me. Meron ding stockings na white na hanggang sa ibabaw ng tuhod ko na may criss cross lace. Meron ding tattoo ng cresent moon na merong star sa dulo and it is located inside. Basta di ko masyadong maexplain. Nakasuot din ako ng two inches na heel na kulay silver. My hair got a little longer na yung hanggang sa likod ko lang eh ngayon hanggang bewang na. Hmm, I have seen this dress somewhere, hindi ko lang maalala.

"Welcome my dear. You've come at last."

Napalingon ako sa nagsalita. I gaped. Both of my hands had covered my mouth my gaping at her and shocked. My eyes could nearly got out of its socket. Okay, that's exagirating. That makes her chuckle. Kapagkuwan ay sumeryoso, luh, parang ako lang. Hehe.

"It is time for you to know the truth. Magsisimula na."

THIRD PERSON POV

Sa kabilang banda naman. Lahat ng mga mamamayan sa Mystic Realm ay nakaramdam ng kakaibang enerhiya.

Lahat sila ay bigla nalang natigil sa kanilang pinangagawa. Merong nakaramdam ng kaba, saya, pangamba, takot. Meron ding nakaramdam ng galit.

The Royalties stopped from eating their dinner. The headmaster lift up himself from the papers he is signing. The kings and queens from each kingdom shared the same thoughts. The prophecy, its starting.

Kinaumagahan, nagpatawag ng meeting ang Council. The Council consists of the king and queens of each kingdoms, the duch and duches of each kingdoms also is present which happens to be the brothers and sister of the kings and queens, the oracle, and the headmaster of the academy.

"Its starting," panimula ng orakulong nagngangalang Sora.

"Does that mean that she's here?" King
Felix said with a glint of hope in his eyes but still remained passive.

Oracle Sora nodded her head as an answer. She and Headmaster Vince exchanged a knowing look and heaved a deep sigh. Naroon din naman ang ibang mga hari at reyna pero nananatiling tahimik lamang.

Napabaling naman ang tingin nilang lahat ng biglang magsalita si King Daniel na nakatuon ang tingin kay Headmaster Vince.

"Headmaster, kailangan nang mag-umpisa sa pag-eensayo ang mga estudyante mo sa academy. We don't know when will the war would happen," sabi nito in a serious manner. Napatango naman ang Headmaster.

"As of now, nag-eensayo sila sa upcoming na leveling exam this monday next week. Napagisipan ko na rin to kagabi. I will change their class routine, imbis na 3-5 pm ang combat and ability training nila ay gagawin ko nalang na buong maghapon. The remaining three subjects would be in the morning," he answered.

The rest agreed.

"Will your highnesess be present at the day of the levelling exam?" Dagdag na tanong ni Headmaster Vince.

"We will!" Queen Ara and Duchees Rowena squelled.

"Mahal mukha kang bata," asar ni King Hans sa asawa. Inirapan lang siya nito.

Lingid sa kaalaman ng iba, they are all friends including headmaster and the oracle noong mga kabataan nila. Sa huli napagkasunduan nilang lahat na dadalo sa araw ng leveling exam. After that they bid goodbyes at each other.

Sa kabilang banda naman...

"Kamusta naman ang pagmamasid mo sa akademya?" The king said to his subordinate na nakaluhod ngayon sa harap niya. The person is wearing a black cloth cloak that covers the persons face maliban sa bibig nito. Nanginginig din siya sa takot. Who would not be scared if their king that has this aura and power that could kill you in a snap of his fingers? His throne has skulls on it. His staff that glows in a combination of black and violet hue. Meron ding usok na nasa paanan nito. Nakasuot din ng cloak na itim. He looks like a grimm ripper sa ayos niya. Meron namang dalawang serpent sa likod niya, ready to pounce na signal nalang ng amo nila ang inaantay.

"Naghahanda po sila sa darating na levelling exam sa lunes kamahalan," sagot nito.

"Magpadala ka ng tauhan sa araw na iyon. Bigyan niyo sila ng babala. Magsisimula na ang digmaan dalawang buwan mula ngayon," utos nito sa kanya at humalakhak na parang demonyo at nakakatakot that shook the whole palace at ng mga katauhan nito.

"Masusunod kamahalan," The person said with a bow at lumabas na sa palasyo.

"Maghanda ka na Felix. I will make sure taht this time, this will be your downfall," the king uttered with anger.
