Chapter 44: Disappearance
It was very unusual for Howl to use his bare hand rather than his hand with magic. Maybe because he's all aware that even if he tries to use his power, nothing will happen.
It's the timing. We're still going to dance with the old ruin's rhythm. Sa halip na labanan at salungatin ang gusto nito ay dapat namin itong salubungin at talunin sa paraang kanyang nais.
When Howl opened the door, we were welcomed by a very strong wind. The door almost hit him but Caleb was too quick to move in front of him to destroy it with his simple punch.
Agad kong pinagliwanag ang mga kamay ko upang alalayan ang sarili ko sa lakas ng hangin na pilit tumutulak sa amin pabalik sa silid na ngayon ay unti-unti nang nasisira dahil sa hangin.
The vintage library with its beauty started to turn into a disaster as the old pages of different books twirled in every place as if it I could see a hurricane of words, wood, shred of glasses, and even small feathers of the quill.
How could they ruin this beautiful library? Hindi ba nila alam na maraming naghahangad magkaroon nito?
As the wind got stronger, the fragments of the wooden door turned like sharp needles. We couldn't move forward even an inch as we try to struggle against the strong wind.
Kapwa nakaangat ang mga braso nina Caleb, Iris at Tavion upang protektahan ang kanilang mga mata sa anumang puwedeng tumama sa kanila, habang ang mga kamay naman namin ni Howl ay nagliliwanag upang alalayan ang sarili.
Caleb tried to look back at me.
"I am okay, Caleb. We should do something about the wind." Pinasok ko na ang isipan niya para hindi na siya bumalik pa sa tabi ko.
"D-does anyone here can control the wind?" nahihirapang tanong ni Rosh sa likuran ko.
I couldn't look back at him, but at the side of my eyes, I could see moving vines deflecting some fragments of the library that were about to hit us.
"We need to advance," sigaw ni Howl.
"By strength? Are you going to make some spells? We can't push forward! Sobrang lakas!" sigaw rin ni Tavion.
"Shit!"
"Iris!"
Nang subukan ni Iris humakbang ay mas itinulak lang siya ng hangin, nawalan siya ng balanse at agad siyang hinipan ng hangin. Her body was about to join the hurricane behind us but Tavion immediately grabbed her hand.
It distracted my concentration and made me step backward. Akala ko ay tuluyan na akong itutulak ng hangin at tatangayin nito nang hinayaan ni Caleb ang sarili niyang dalhin ng hangin hanggang sa umabot siya sa akin at iharang ang sarili sa likuran ko.
"Y-You okay?"
Hindi ako nakasagot sa kanya nang makita kong may tatama sa kanyang matalim na kahoy. I turned my body in front of him, I allowed the wind to push my wholeness on him as I spread my arms between him to protect us together.
Napaatras na ang isang paa ni Caleb habang ang dalawa niyang braso ay nakayakap sa akin.
"T-This would be easy if Casper is here."
Sa gitna namin ay si Rosh na napalingon sa eksena naming apat. Habang si Howl ay may sariling mundo at pilit na humahakbang patungo sa pinto.
"Howl, you should cross the door!" sigaw ni Rosh.
"Can't you see? I am trying!"
Gumagawa na ng lubid si Howl gamit ang mana niyang nagliliwanag pero sa tuwing umaabot iyon sa pinto ay naglalaho lamang iyon.
