Chapter One-Hundred Fourteen: A Giant's Dream

-chapter one-hundred-fourteen-

FINN

Bakit ko nga ba nakalimutan 'yon?

May connection palagi ang name ng city sa missions nito. Like the Magus City where we have to learn and execute our magic, or the City of Nightmares where we faced our own horrors. This city is associated with dreams but all we did was find magical stones, open a gate, and kill a giant?

And now this reflection of a boy with dazzling eyes. From all the images I can see in the ripples of water, it's the giant that's different. Because it- he was no longer made of stone, but of flesh.

Could the quest be wrong? It was only given by the villagers. We had to open the Dream Gate, wake the sleeping giant and kill its evil form—

"Finn!"

Naiwasan ko ang paparating na atake nang hatakin ako ni Eura papunta sa kaniya. She held up her flamethrower, firing a wide and bright flame towards the roaring giant. Napakurap-kurap ako't hinawakan ang kamay niya, saka ko pinababa ang weapon.

Kunot-noo niya akong nilingon. "Finn? Bakit mo ko- Anyway, bago pala ang lahat, sobrang kinabahan ako sa nangyari sa'yo kanina! Handa na kaya akong patayin si Sapphire nang malamang tinulak ka niya sa bangin, like excuse me lang ha, pero sino ba siya sa tingin niya para gawin 'yon sa'yo? Kaya ayokong kinukuha niya atensiyon mo no'ng una, eh! Akala ko nagseselos lang ako pero may basis din pala pagseselos ko dahil ahas ang babaeng 'yon pero, omg ha, may times din naman na—"

"Tangina, Eura. Tumahimik ka nga. Simple lang itatanong mo, pero ang dami mo pang satsat!" suway ni Louise sabay takip ng bibig niya.

Eura shot a heated glare at her friend and was about to make some reckless attack when Fern squeezed between them, pushing the two females aside. Sa likod niya ay nakikita kong inaatake ng dalawang lalaki ang higante para hindi sa'min matuon ang atensiyon nito. Their teamwork is still very poor, imbes na magtulungan, nagpapalakasan sila.

"Why did you stop Eura, Finn? What did you see in the lake?" sunod-sunod na tanong ni Fern.

I stared at her serious eyes. She really has a sharp attention to details. She also keeps her cool most of the time, at positibo ako na siya lang siguro ang matino sa grupo ni Kairo. Although she looks capable of planning someone's murder. Parang siya mastermind pero iba gagawa.

Hm. Siguro si Kairo alipin niya.

"A boy..."

Naguluhan man si Louise at Eura sa sagot ko ay agad itong nakuha ni Fern. Nilingon niya ang higante na kasalukuyang hinahampas sina Wes at kairo na parang lamok lang. She walked closer, glancing at the lake, and probably seeing the reflection of a boy rather than the giant.

"Kill the evil form and bring back the beautiful and kind god." mahinang sambit niya. "That was the quest... or the dream of these villagers?"

Tumango ako. I thought of that too.

"Huh?"

"Pwedeng salitang-tao, Fern?"

Sinulyapan ko ang dalawang babae sa tabi ko at nakatunganga lang sila sa'min. Their eyes and head looked so empty from here, na parang shell lang sila na nakatayo do'n at walang functioning brain.
