Blue stone Academy: The Cursed Child

Kabanata 21

Shiro

Leora told me about Merideath, the Goddess of the four elements and Queen of all Queens. The Galilea Clan believes that Leora is the one who needs to play the game in her generation because she resembles her grandmother, who happens to look like Merideath. Although her grandmother did not participate in the game before, it was because of her weak body that she was not capable of playing.

Sinabi niya rin sa akin na ang tito niya ay kabilang sa ikaanim na henerasyon na dapat makakasira ng laro. But the cursed child vanished like a bubble in the thin air. Mapaghanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin ito nakikita.     

Dito pumasok sa isip ko si Tedson. I remembered that he told me that he was the cursed child who ran away, and although his curse was lifted, it passed to the seventh generation, which is our generation.

"Prof. Wyatt twin died in the game…" my gripped from my fork loosen the reason why I fell on the table and create noises. "They are the sixth generation." She said calmly. "It’s been two decades."

"May kambal si Prof. Wyatt?" gulat na tanong ko.

"Hindi na ako nagtataka na hindi mo alam, I mean, iilan lang naman ang nakakaalam no'n—"     

"Pero alam mo," Saad ko nanikinatigil niya. "How did you know, Leora?"

Bumaba ang tingin niya sa kaniyang plato na wala nang laman at iniligpit ito. Sinundan ko siya ng tingin at hindi na nag-abalang magtanong ko. I am not dense. I know Leora doesn’t want to talk about that.

Tumayo rin ako at iniligpit ang plato. Dahil ako ang nagluto kanina ay siya ang maghuhugas ngayon.

“Ano, Leora, it’s okay, don’t force yourself—" she cut me off.

“Actually, Shiro, all my knowledge is just based on the story of my grandfather. Hindi ako sigurado kaya ayoko magsalita, but I am sure that Uncle Gilbert is prof. Wyatt colleague. Miss Jane, Miss Regina, and Prof. Wyatt are best friends. "

Iyon ang huli niyang salita sa akin at hanggang sa matulog ay hindi na niya ako kina-usap. The following day, I fell ill. Mahigit tatlong araw akong hindi nakapasok at hindi rin naging maayos ang tulog ni leora dahil tuwing madaling araw ay mas tumataas ang lagnat ko.      

Pang-apat na araw ko ngayon at papaalis pa lang si Leora para pumasok. Hinipo niya muna ang aking noo upang tignan ang aking temperatura.

"Sinat nalang, you need to rest more, Shiro. Dadalhin ko si Liam dito mamaya. "Nag-aalala na rin sila sa'yo." Oo lAniya.      

Tumango ako sa kaniya at bumalik ulit sa pagkaka higa. Maya-maya lamang ay narinig ko ang pagbukas at Sara Sara pintuan. It’s been four days and I haven’t taken a proper shower yet. For the past three days, Leora wouldn’t let me take a shower, so I had no choice but to let her wipe my body using a towel. Hindi rin ako makagalaw ng maayos dahil sa taas ng lagnat ko.     

When Ms. Alexi came here, she said that I got my fever because of too much exposure to water. But she would convince me that this is all the reason why my fever was too high: even her healing power did not fully work on me.

The following day, Leora and I both left the room and went to school. Si Prof. Wyatt ang Prof. Namin ngayon, but I heard from Liam yesterday that it’s our free day. Kung sa kinalakihan ko, holiday ang tawag dito. Buong araw nasa school lang ang estudyante,  pero walang klase na magaganap.      

But there is an event that confused me. It was all about the candles and their meanings.

"Yung-yung black with a shade of gold, ano ulit?" tanong ko kay Uno.
