Cursed Amaris (✓)

Journey 027

One more week to come. I treasure every moment with them. I already said where is the last dragon. And where heading there now.

This will be the last journey. For so many years, the three dragons will arise. And that also means I lost myself. The awakening.

"Ano ba, akin na yan!" said Raffy. Kinukuha nito ang isdang kinuha ni Zache sa kanya.

"Me and the Mozort catched it, so I eat it."

"Ako nagluto ah, kaya akin na yan, kasalanan ko bang naubos mo sayo?!"

"Zacherous." Lie called, probably warning Zache. He sigh and gave back the fish to Raffy.

I can't believe they're married. The previous white dragon, is Lie's grandfather. She said. Zache's granfather also. As the legend said, a dragon lives a long life. Hundred of years, but the green dragon is the poweful one. Well, he just live eternity.

"So, are we really on the right place?" nag-aalanganin pang tanong samin ni Raffy. Nanguna ako sa paglalakad papasok as they followed.

I feel him. He's presense. But this is a huge cemetery, imposibleng mahanap namin sya agad sa lawak nito.

"Mahahanap ba natin sya? sa lawak nito aabutin ata tayo ng taon e." said Raffy.

"Maghiwa-hiwalay tayo." I suggested. Lumapit naman sakin si Theon na pinagtakha ko.

"I'll go with you." he said.

"No, I can handle myself Mozort–"

"Theon. You call me that so don't call me with something else." pagputol niya sakin. I just sigh. Palubog narin ang araw.

After I saw Amari's illustion, the truth. I understand now. I'm Amari's daughter. I'm that girl. And just like what happen to Amari, I'll become the dark dragon. I'm scared, I'm so scared of what might happen if I became one.

I need the green dragon but I don't wanna see him. If the dragons complete, it will be the end. But the green dragon, he can calm the curse. He did when he's with Amari, and I'm sure he can with me.

"What is your plan?" tanong ng lalaki habang naglalakad kami.

"Plan?" takhang tanong ko dito.

"Pag natapos na ito, babalik ka ba?"

"Saan?"

"Tangina naman neto, napaka-slow." Inirapan ko siya sa pabalang na sagot nito. Pero alam ko ang tinutukoy nya.

"I don't know, kung kaya ko pang bumalik." nang balingan ko siya ng tingin ay kunot ang noo nito.

"I don't like your thinking Aris." seryosong baling nito sakin.

"You always make plans by your own, and do things by yourself." he continued. I stay silent. Namutawi ang nakakabinging katahimikan sa pagitan namin pagkatapos nyang sabihin yon.

I looked up in the darjness of the sky. The bright shine of the stars and the moon that gave lights on us. I stopped from walking.

"You?" I asked. Nakatanaw parin sa mga bituwin. Tumigil din ito sa paglalakad. I returned my gaze on him. He looks confused.

"What's your plan? Pag natapos na ang lahat?" I continued. He looked at me staight in the eye. Di ako bumitaw sa tingin nito.

"Marrying you." nagulat ako sa sinabi nito. I averted my gaze as I felt my cheeks heat. Blushing.

"T-That's something y-you shouldn't... do." I like the idea of him marrying me. No, scratch that– I love his idea. I like him. Sa konting pagkakataon na nagkasama kami. He said that I'm depending on myself, but the truth is, I'm depending on him.

My body would obey if he command it to. That's why I kept everything, dahil pag sinabi ko sa kanya ang plano ko. Alam ko ding tututol sya.

He's actions and words are giving me the same signs. He loves me. And I'm happy to think it that way. I proof it now that he said he has plans of marrying me. He can't marry a woman he doesn't love right?

But that happiness faded when I think about Amari. She loved a demon, so she became one. I don't have a choice. My fate will stay the same.

Naramdaman ko ang paglapit ni Theon sakin kaya agad na nabalik ako sa ulirat. He's looking at me intently.

"I love you." I didn't respond.

Put your shits together Amaris. You'll just hurt him. And that's the last thing I want to do.

Without a second thought, I pulled him to me and kissed him. Gumanti ito sa halik ko. He put his hand around my waist. I deepened the kiss. Making sure he would taste the inside of my mounth.

I hugged his nape ng maramdaman ko ang kagustuhan nyang kumawala sa akin. He pushed me gently, making sure I won't be hurt kahit na gusto na nyang itigil ang halikan namin.

When I felt his weight on me. I knew he's unconcious. Kahit na mabigat ito ay nakaya ko syang maingat na naihiga sa lupa.

I planted a kiss on his lips fot the last time. The first time I kissed him made him concious, and now, kabaliktaran ang nangyari.

"Like a firworks we burst into flames but at least for a while, it was pretty to watch."

A tear escape from my left eye. I wipe it away when I felt his presence. Tumayo ako saka bumaling kay Kendrix.

"Let's go." sabi ko dito saka nanguna na sa paglalakad. Sumunod naman ito.

We reached the entrance of the cemetary. And there, I saw the two more dragons, and the monk, Lorde.

The two dragon bowed down their head with knee as a sign of their respect.

Again, I looked up the the stars. 'Till our next era, my love.

Amaris.
