Harvena: Aire

Simula noong mawala ang nag-iisang taong kayang kumontrol nang oras ay siya namang pagtigil ng oras sa Mania at sa mundo ng mga tao. Sa Mania ay palaging gabi at sa mundo ng mga tao ay palaging umaga.

"Saint, stop ruining yourself!" Inis na sigaw ni Reese sakan'ya.

His dark eyebags and tired orbs says it all. From a well built body, now starting to get thin. His clothes are ruined and he look like a living corpse that in a withered of air he'll be gone.

"Your cousin ruined me first by leaving me in his fucking world alone!" Sigaw naman nito pabalik sa babae.

"Deserve mo nga talagang iwan ni March dahil hindi ka kailanman nagtitino simula noong nawala siya." Makahulugang sambit ni Reese.

It stab him, but not as painful as the moment the girl she love leave him in this world alone. Everyday he went on that river hoping that there will be a woman fall from the sky. A woman where he'll save for the second time. A woman named March.

Reese look at Saint with sympathy for the second time, he looks like he's carrying the problem of the whole world. He's tired, he want to rest but can't.

Saint feels like he's running on a hamster wheel, being under a dark cloud. Slowly, he give up . . . tears are like raindrops falling from his eyes. His voice sounds like an out of tune orchestra.

"Why did you leave me here alone, March? Did you really hate me that much, that's why you decided to cut our link?" His voice doesn't sounds like him. His soul was drowning into the river of her grief. He was sinking into the deep sea of his tears.

It feels like the weight of grief were crushing his soul.

"Ang sakit-sakit mo naman magbigay ng parusa, March . . ."

"Neah, ano itong nasa katawan natin?!" Natatakot na tanong Freah.

All of them are filled with dark aura.

Nagsisimulang na rin na maging itim ang mga ugat ni Freah.

The great nine are gathered in one room, trying to solve what is happening to them. Dahil lahat sila ay nasa ganoong kalagayan.

"Hindi ko din alam, Freah," Neah replied.

Masyado nang magulo ang mundo bakit pati sila kailangang madamay?

"We are fucking curse right?" Asher muttered, looking at all of them.

Lahat sila ay binigyan nang hindi makapaniwalang tingin ang headmaster ng Harvena.

"Curse? Why would those gods give us a curse?" Lexis questioned him while giving him a weird look as if everything he asked is a kind of joke.

Asher just grimace, it's not exactly a curse. They're the key that those gods chooses.

"What exactly is this curse, Ash? Bakit tayo? Akala ko ba tayo ang inatasan na iligtas ang mundong ito ha?" Sinapo ni Eli ang buhok niya dahil sa sobrang inis.

"Of course, that's what we all thought, heroine in disguise indeed," he murmured. "We all thought that the element power that had in us, will save the whole Mania World, but we are the key to start their destruction. Tayo ang susi sa pagsimula ng kaguluhan."

They all felt a rising tide of fear from head to toe upon what Asher uttered to all of them.

"The more we used our power, the faster it will consume us, and we are giving them the authority to control us." Asher grimace as well as Neah.

Fear pumped dark wine through their veins.

"How did you knew all of this?!" Sighal ni Enoch. "Bakit mo piniling itago sa'min ito?"

"Because the moment you bretray the gods . . . we are the one who'll kill each one of you," sagot ni Neah kay Enoch.

Lahat sila ay hindi makapaniwala sa sinagot nito.

Nakita nila ang unti-unting pagpalit nang anyo ni Neah. Ang kaninang maamo at matiwasay nitong mukha ay tila napalitan ng taong walang awa kahit tingin pa lamang.

A chill ran down through their spine and started breathing heavily upon seeing the queen's face.

"Hindi ikaw si Neah, isa kang huwad, ibalik mo ang kaibigan ko!" Inis na sigaw ni Chance at magpakawala nang malaking apoy ngunit isang kumpas lang ng kamay ni Neah ay natupok ang mga ito.

"Oh, yes, I am not Neah, after all, I am the goddess of special, because of her will to save those people from the war that happened. She's willing to let her power consumed her and a reason for me to take over her body." Ngumisi ito sakanilang lahat. "You are just a pawn that we will use soon, tell a single word to everyone, the curse will consume you faster than it consume you before. Papadaliin niyo lang ang gagawin namin."

Those bloody red eyes of hers turned dull. From a bright and silly Neah into a dark and merciless one. Her lips are black, which means that she brings misery. A color that means she's bringing death to your doorstep.

Her hands that used to save people now hold a knife and are ready to kill someone she used to call a friend and companion.

"Remember my warning, children."

When silence envelope the whole world, the world which once at peace. Dreams that look like nightmares save this world once. A villain in a heroine's clothing.

The children she chose rise too late, a reason for them to fall.
