Chapter 25: Calm Before The Storm
"What do you mean?" I asked them still looking puzzled.
"Tri-ling. A hybrid of a diverling. It is rare to have a Tri-ling and some says it's just a myth!" Florence exclaimed with excitement.
"Naguguluhan pa rin ako tsk." sagot ko na naiinis na.
"They're both part nymph, a water ability holder pero hindi ko alam kung ano ang ibang ability nila. Base sa kulay na berde baka may parte rin sila na konektado sa kalikasan." mahabang sabi ni Gerald habang nakatingin sa glass wall.
"I see, it should be a good thing right?"
"It depends. Being a Tri-ling is a threat for some others. Because there are still prejudice about having two abilities at the same time. Some says it's out of law marrying to another culture and bearing an offspring. You know, since they stick to their strict rules and old traditions. Some also had an offspring from two cultures but only bearing the ability of which the strongest from their parents. Halimbawa, kapag ang nymph na natural na water ability at vampires na may earth ability ay nagbunga ang kanilang pag-iibigan. Ang anak naman ito ay makukuha ang ability, kung sino sa magulang nito ang may malakas na element. Ang Tri-ling ay offspring sa dalawang kultura, pero makukuha nila ng pareho ang element ng kanilang mga magulang." Kim replied looking concerned while explaining.
"May iba pa bang tri-ling na sinasabi mo?" tanong ko ulit.
"We don't know. Nobody knows. The last time a tri-ling was spotted hundred years ago was taken, wala na kaming balita pagkatapos." malungkot na sabi ni Florence.
"We can't assume yet not until it's confirmed. Pero kung totoo nga, dapat nga lang protektahan sila." sabi ni Gerald habang may tinatype cellphone niya. "Mauna na muna kayo, kami na ni chief bahala dito para makapaghinga naman sila."
"Okay lang ba sila?" tanong ko.
"They're fine bro, don't worry. It's normal for them to collapsed while doing the initation. Let's go." sabi ni Kim habang nag pa una lumakad sa pintuan.
"Take care of them will you? Dadalaw na lang ako mamaya sa kanila." sabi ko kay Gerald at nginitian niya ako pabalik.
Nakasunod lang ako nila Kim at Florence. Tahimik akong naglalakad habang malalim ang iniisip. Iniisip kong makakaya ko ba ang lahat nito? Ano ang mangyayari pagkatapos?
I shake my head. I'm Morgana Arianrhod Simmons. I do not backed away with my words. I fight for what is right and reverse the unjust.
"Guys, mauna na muna kayo," humarap sina Kim at Florence na nagtataka. "May gagawin lang ako." nginitian ko sila at tumalikod na.
I just need to let loose. Masyado akong nag-iisip at na fru-frustrate. This is not the usual me, this is not who I am.
Naglakad ako ng lakad sa mahabang hallway dito. Nasa pinakadulo kasi ang room na yun. Kada pinto ay iba't-ibang facility depende sa kung ano ang iyong gagamitin. Kalapit na room nito ay ang entertainment room kung saan pwede makapag games o manood ng sine sa isa pang kwarto sa loob nito. May kalakihan rin ang entertainment room para sa iba't-ibang pang aliwan.
Nasa pinakasulok at tago lang ang room na ito, di mo mapapansin kung hindi ka dederetso. Kinuha ko ang susi nito kasabay ng iba ko pang susi. Ng mahanap ay binuksan ko ang pang-isahan na pinto. Sumalubong sa akin ang alikabok at dilim ng paligid kasama rin ang mga gamit na natatakpan ng mga puting tela.
I've never been this room for ages. This is my sanctuary room that I could vent and rest easy. Whenever I'm feeling to let out my emotions I go here. It was my mom old getaway room, ako naman ang pumalit kasi ayokong may ibang mag occupy dito.
