Tale of Santuaria: Sunrise and Moonlight (UNEDITED)

CHAPTER 73

Ikatlong Persona

NAPALUHOD si Katana matapos atakihin ang babaeng kamukhang-kamukha nito. She used a sword to attack the opponent, but as soon as she did, she collapsed to the ground in anguish. As a result, she turned to face her flawed personality and examined the wound it had received, pero gano'n na lang ang gulat niya nang bigla'y nawala ang sugat nito't nakaramdam siya ng hapdi sa bandang tagiliran. Nang tingnan naman ni Katana ay namilog ang mga mata niya dahil nagkaroon siya nang sugat sa tagiliran, although not severe, she could sense the discomfort it was causing. She lowered her eyes before cautiously rising to confront the foe.

"A-anong nangyayari? Bakit na lipat sa 'kin ang sugat mo?" may bahid ng inis niyang tanong sa kalaban pero sa halip na sumagot ay isang ngisi lamang ang tugon nito sa kaniya habang ang mga mata nito ay malamig at tila walang buhay. She used to have a smirk on her face and those same eyes, but now she was afraid.

She fights her emotions head-on, despite how difficult it is, because if she doesn't, it would undoubtedly win the battle for control of her body and threaten to destroy everything. She won't allow this to happen.

When Katana ran at her replica again, she tightened her grip on her sword. She immediately avoided its sword and jumped in the direction of the adversary, whereupon she must have struck it in the cheek. Bakas pa ang dugo sa espada ng dalaga at naka-ngisi siyang humarap sa kalaban para lamang masalubong ang naka-ngisi rin nitong labi kaya kumunot ang kaniyang noo.

Kitang-kita niya na mula sa mahabang sugat sa pisngi nito ay unti-unti itong nag hilom at pagkaraan lang ng ilang saglit ay halos mahigit niya ang kaniyang hininga nang maramdaman ang biglaang pag hapdi sa bandang pisngi niya kaya naman para makumpirma ang hinala niya'y dahan-dahang inilapit ang palad sa sariling pisngi. She bit her lip as she glanced at the blood on her palm and blinked when she touched her cheek.

Shit! Kung gano'n, lahat nang atake ko'y hindi gagana sa kaniya dahil sa 'kin ito bumabalik o tumatalab. Hays! Masyadong mahirap ang laban.

"Hindi patas..." bulong niya sa sarili.

"There is no fairness in this world, and you know that." If it speaks, it sounds exactly like her, and if it happens to be the owner of her body, she is confident that no one will realize that she is not her.

Her eyes sharpened as she stared at the enemy. "Yes, wala ngang patas sa mundo. Like you, you don't fight fairly." Nawala ang kahit na ano mang ekspresyon sa mukha nito at gano'n din siya. Kung wala nga lang itong kulay lilang ugat sa mukha at kung hindi nga lang maitim ang labi't gilid ng mga mata nito ay hindi mo malalaman kung sino sa kanilang dalawa ang tunay na Katana.

Hays! Ano nang gagawin mo Katana?

They had been in that setting for a few hours when the girl suddenly had an idea, but she quickly dismissed it because it was too dangerous. It's difficult and uncertain whether she must gamble for everyone's safety because everything is too perilous, especially in this place.

"Hindi lang isang buhay ang naka-taya rito, kun'di lahat ng buhay ng mga Evergreenians." Muli'y bulong niya sa kaniyang sarili.

Without saying a word, she drove the blade into her stomach while still holding it tightly in front of her as she slowly moved it forward and closed her eyes.
