The Tamer Without a Beast: VOLUME 1 and 2 [COMPLETED]

Chapter 75: "Trust Me"

Chapter 75: "Trust Me"

Teiro's point of view

AS WE all grow in hardships, hindi maiiwasang may magbago sa paligid mo. Either in families, peers, nature or even your behaviors. It simply means a single message that all are not permanent and everything doesn't stay the same as they are forever.

We might end up confused by anything happening around us second by second, hindi 'yon dahilan para subukang makibagay na rin tayo sa natural na nangyayari. Of course we need to hide with the others or flee with the others if a storm or tsunami came to wipe us, but it doesn't need to be like that everytime.

Facing our fears looks like facing a mountain-high wave from the storming sea and you alone standing on the shore waiting for it to affect you. But courage gave us time to stay on the sand despite all of these problems.

Hindi lahat ng bagay kontrolado natin. Even our own emotions betray us despicably. And it all will based on the things and people we met everyday.

"You finally decided to woke up."

I was back in this game world once again. Looks like I slept myself out for awhile there. I turned to the side of the bed and saw the captain comfortably settled on a black sofa. Crossed legs and holding a book from his other hand, and the other is holding a key playing on his fingers.

Bumangon ako't napansing nasa isang inn ako kasama si captain. I felt my hand on my forehead, twitching a little dahil sa bigla itong sumakit. Nagpakalinga-linga ako sa paligid pero wala na akong makitang iba bukod kay Leonidas ngayon. "Where are the others?" I asked before standing up.

"They're outside."

Nanlaki naman ang mata ko nang may bigla akong maalalang isang mahalagang bagay. "Teka. Nasaan na 'yong metal cage?"

"You don't have to worry about that. It's over there." sabay turo nito sa side table kaya't napasunod do'n ang tingin ko.

Parang nawalan ng tinik ang lalamunan ko nang makitang nando'n nga ang bagay na 'yon nakapatong. I clasped my chest and took a deep breathe in and out before smiling. "So I'm not dreaming after all."

Hinarap ko si Leonidas na tumayo katabi ko habang nakatingin din sa bagay na 'yon. "Siyam na araw kang walang malay pagkatapos mong himatayin sa mismong arena na 'yon. Hindi ko alam kung bakit pero, ayaw mabuksan ng metal cage kahit anong gawin namin hanggang ngayon."

Nagtataka akong nilingon sya. "Anong ibig mong sabihin?"

May kinuha syang kung ano sa kanyang bulsa't isa pala itong dark key. "We tried every high-ranking master keys all around this continent pero lahat 'yon nasisira na tila babasaging bagay lang tuwing pipihitin namin ang keyhole nito. It just won't work no matter what we do."

Inilahad nya ang susing hawak na akin ding tinanggap. "That's the last master key we got. Or should we say, that's the only master key we have here but I doubt it'll make even a difference. Pero mas mabuti na ring ikaw na ang gumawa bilang ang nagmamay-ari sa beast sa loob nyan."

"Hindi ko sya pag-aari. He's a friend." I corrected.

He patted my shoulder. "Whatever you say. I'll just leave you two for a bit." tsaka na ito naglakad paalis sa inn.

"Wait." I turned to him as soon as he was about to turn the doorknob. "Bakit pala ako nawalan ng malay ng siyam na araw?"

"From my theory. That metal cage is absorbing manas everywhere near it." sagot nyang nakaturo sa maliit na box na ito. "It means, dahil matagal mo 'yang yakap-yakap ng buong katawan mo, natural lang na mawalan ka ng lakas pero hindi ko inakalang aabot sa siyam na araw ang epekto ng pangyayaring 'yon."
