Tale of Time

06

First month.

Amara's silver hair began to appear, a shimmering strand that sparkled in the light. It was the first sign that she was not an ordinary child, and everyone around her was amazed by the beauty and mystery of it.

Third month.

Her eyes slowly changed from a dull ash color to a shining silver, matching her hair. 

It wasn't surprising, considering how much she resembled her mother, Serena. This made it clear that Amara was destined for something great.

Fifth month.

While lounging on the castle patio, Amara accidentally set herself on fire. 

The flames surrounded her, but she was unharmed. This was when they realized she had the power of pillar fire—far beyond their expectations. It was both awe-inspiring and terrifying.

Seventh month.

One day, Amara saw her nanny drowning in the castle's pool. 

Without hesitation, she moved the water to save her. This was the second time they saw her extraordinary abilities. 

Not only could she control fire, but she could also control water. Her parents began to panic, realizing their young child had already mastered two pillars. 

No one had ever done that before.

Ninth month.

One sunny day, Amara was seen playing with a tree, her small hands gently touching its trunk. 

The tree responded, its veins spreading out and intertwining with hers. She had the power to communicate with nature, not just the elements. 

It was clear she could control not just fire and water, but life itself.

Eleventh month.

On her eleventh month, Amara flew for the first time. 

It wasn't by accident—she simply rose into the air. Her uncle Beau, watching her, fainted in shock. Amara had unknowingly controlled the air, and with that, she had unlocked the ability to fly.

One year.

While sleeping, a pair of beautiful wings sprouted from her back, glowing with an ethereal light. 

These wings were a symbol of the divine power inside her, marking the first step in her incredible journey.

"Ano 'yan? Tao pa ba 'yan?" Hindi makapaniwalang tanong ni Denrich sa lahat ng pinapakita sa kanila ng bata.

"She's inherited Signia's wings. Is she... an angel now?" Violeta asked, her voice a mix of awe and worry.

"This... is beyond what I envisioned," Cosmos said, visibly stunned.

"Ano nang gagawin mo ngayon?" Saad ni Signia at hinarap si Esme'ng natameme na lang din sa bilis ng progress ng abilidad ng bata.

"We need to stick with the prophecy." Mariing sagot ni Esme.

"Huh? Paano? Puputulin mo 'yang pakpak ng bata?"

"If I have to, I will."

"Nababaliw ka na ba?" Pagak na natawa si Signia.

"You'll do that for what? Glory? Your name?" Dagdag nito.

"Esme, love," Violeta interjected softly, trying to calm her, "Maybe it's better to leave it to fate."

"The fate we know is what the moon goddess has spoken." Paalala sa kanila ni Esme.

"Ulol. Puro ka turo sa moon goddess. May narinig ka na ba ulit mula sa kanya? Wala diba? Why do you keep on interfering?!" Iritadong singhal ni Denrich.
