bound beyond fates

chapter 63.

"what?" magkasabay na sambit ng mga kasama ko matapos ko isiwalat kung sino ang sumampa saamin.

"but why? he's our ancestor and they said that he's a considerate king. why would he cursed his descendants?" hindi makapaniwalang turan ni thiarra at binitawan ang balikat ko. seryoso lamang na nakatitig saamin si clyde at kita kong nakakuyom ang kamay niya.

"it does make sense if he's behind all this mess." paninigurado ni angeline habang hinahawakan ang kanyang baba.

"afterall, he's also the one that put him into sleep for a long time." mahina niyang pahayag, dahil sa liit ng table na ginagamit namin, narinig ko ang sinabi niya. is she referring to aziel?

"what do you mean by that madam angeline?" inayos ni thiarra ang kanyang postura at seryosong tumingin kay angeline.

"king keith was actually born with little mana despite being a royalty. because of that he's always insecure and later on, he became a wicked person. kaya gumamit siya ng black magic at ninakaw ang mana ng kanyang mga mamamayan, pati din ang kanyang nakakatandang kapatid ay pinatay niya." nanlaki ang mata nila clyde at thiarra dahil ngayon lang nila narinig ang totoong kwento sa likod ng pamumuno ni keith. aziel already told me about this so i'm not surprise.

"even the magician of the amari fortress, keith casted a spell on him to make him sleep and never wake up. he stole his mana and records about ancient spells and curses, siguro doon niya nahanap ang tungkol sa sumpa at ginamit niya ito sa mga pamangkin niya na naipasa sainyo." so other races really knew about the true history of keith when he's the one reigning the claveria kingdom.

tahimik lang ang dalawang katabi ko habang pinoproseso ng utak nila ang kanilang nalalaman. they just learn many things in one night, i'm sure it will be hard to absorb it.

"then- how did you break the curse?" luckily, clyde immediately recovered from shock and he straightly asked angeline. iyan ang gustong gusto ko malaman sakanya kaya inabangan ko ang kanyang sagot.

"they are two ways oh how to break the curse." itinaas niya ang kanyang dalawang daliri at ibinaba ang isa.

"first, you have to fight destiny." what? oppose fate? can we even do that?

" yes, i know it's an impossible thing to do, fate is afterall a natural concept that any creatures can't control. so we stick to the other option." at itinaas niya ang isang daliri niya.

"second, have someone that can exceed a deity's power to be able break the curse." diba parang impossible din ang pangalawa?

"eh? then you asked another deity to break it for you?" nawiwindang na tanong ni thiarra. i think it's really impossible to convince a deity to break the curse for us. wala pa nga kami nakikita kahit isa.

"no. no. it's not a deity that broke our curse. they're actually humans." oh? wait- is she talking about-

"who are them?! please tell us, madam angeline!" thiarra pleaded as angeline stared at my direction. why are you looking at me like that? it seems like i know who's your talking about.

"do you know the legendary magicians of the amari fortress?" nanigas ako sa aking kinauupuan nang makompirma ko ang aking hula.

"they're the one stated on how to break the curse. and since they have an ominous mana that i've never seen before, they're able to break our curse. thanks to them that we've been living so peacefully for a hundred years without getting crazy. " malumanay na saad ni angeline at kita ang kagalakan sa mata niya. i can't believe that those magicians are the one that finished their curse.

"h-how can we ask them when the first magician is already dead and the current magician is asleep?" naiiyak na tanong ni thiarra habang nanginginig ang buong katawan niya.
