Ikatlong Persona
"It's been a while."
"Buhay ka pero paano?" Jorvina was taken aback. While Linglie remained silent.
"Is that still important?" he playfully responded. It moved, so Linglie activated the poison, causing it to burst, but the poison bomb lost its efficacy in a second, which stunned the woman a lot.
"H-how? How did you manage to make my attack ineffective?" She asked in disbelief. Jorvina's eyes widened.
"This is one of the ancient magic, the controlling disabled attack..."
"You are right." Humakbang ito pasulong at umikot sa dalawa.
"But, as a weather manipulator, how can you wield ancient magic?" gulat na tanong ni Jorvina and the man chuckled.
He was about to say something when his palm lit up, drawing the attention of the two women. "Opss, it's time up," ngumisi siya at ibinalik ang atensyon sa dalawang babaeng nasa harapan niya, "I'm finished here, so I'll leave you!" It turned and took a step forward. When his feet became entangled in the seawater, a bizarre doorway opened that the two had never seen before in their life.
"Hey! Where do you think you're going?! We will not let you escape!" Napatingin si Jorvina kay Linglie at tumango silang dalawa. Magkasabay na umatake ang dalawa nang lumingon ang lalaki at bahagyang umiling.
"Don't waste your power, I don't have time to deal with you. We'll still have to deal with each other in the future, anyway-but don't worry, when the three of us meet, I'll tell you how I could use ancient magic," it returned and slowly entered the portal. It arrived in a tidal wave. "I'm looking forward to that moment." Was all it said before being fully swallowed up by a large wave and vanished in front of them.
Kasabay nito ang pagdating ng mga lalaking catrus na kanina lamang ay gumagawa ng bangka. Tumakbo sina Jorvina at Linglie sa mga ito kasalukuyang walang mga malay.
Si Lucky at Zaphael naman ay handang saksakin ang impostor nang maglahong parang bula ang mga ito. The dense fog had also dissipated, as if the environment had reverted to typical woodland conditions.
"Everything appears to be in order, so we should get out of here." Lucky nodded when Zaphael said that.
•••
"Do you have any idea what happened?" Tanong ni Lucky sa dalawang babae na mukhang malalim ang iniisip. Nakasakay na silang lahat sa bangka na ginawa ng mga lalaki.
Nagulat si Lucky at Zaphael dahil pagbalik nila sa dalampasigan ay tila malalim ang iniisip nina Jorvina at Linglie. Kanina pa sila tahimik.
"Hey! Jorvina, Linglie?!" because of the girl's shout, the two returned to their senses and sighed as they turned to gaze at her.
"Is there a problem?" Linglie inquired, and Lucky rolled her eyes.
"Dapat ako ang nagtatanong n'yan sa 'yo. So, do you have a problem? Bakit parang ang lalim ng iniisip niyo kanina pa?" Jorvina sighed.
"No, maybe we're just tired." Lucky's shoulders fell as a result of Jorvina's remark.
Nagpasya sina Linglie at Jorvina na huwag ipaalam kayna Lucky at Zaphael ang tungkol sa lalaking nakita nila kanina hanggang sa malutas nila ang palaisipan kung paanong buhay ito. That man was sentenced to death for treason against the entire kingdom, and his family vanished like a bubble, leaving no trace, but there is a rumor that they were killed by the Kings and Queens according to eyewitnesses, but the alleged eyewitness was also found dead in the sea of Atlantis Kingdom, so the spreading rumor of what happened to the man's family was buried in oblivion. This man was a previous classmate of Linglie and Jorvina's at the academy, as well as Jorvina's younger sister.
After all, the two died one after the other and before Jorvina's sister, the two were usually seen hanging out together, which Jorvina finds strange. She believes there is a link between her sister's death and the man's execution. But now that they know he's alive, her suspicion rises that her sister died for a cause. Jorvina wants to discover the truth about what occurred. She will go to any length to solve the riddle, even if it means putting herself in risk; she will not turn a blind eye to the truth. She will no longer trust what she sees because she will now look behind what she sees.
"Anyway, are we about to—"
"What is that?!" Natigil sa pagtatanong si Lucky nang sumigaw si Zaphael at may tinuro, at napalingon sa rito ang lahat. Nagulat sila nang makitang nag bago ang tubig, naging itim, at nagbago rin ang alon, unti-unting lumaki hanggang sa nag tipon ang napakalaking alon at tumama sa kanila ng malakas. Dahil sa bilis ng mga pangyayari ay nilamon sila ng alon at nagkahiwalay.
After five minutes, Lucky found herself laying on the cool sand near the water. She coughed because she had lost consciousness after drinking sea water. She sat up slowly and glanced about the area, but she had no clue where she was at the time.
She got up carefully, feeling the frailty in her knees. "Z-zaphael! J-jorvina! L-linglie! Where are you?!" Muli siyang umubo at nagpasya na hanapin sa buong isla ang kaniyang mga kasama ngunit napaka-tahimik ng lugar.
What am I doing here? Why do I seem to be the only one here?
Tanong niya sa kaniyang isipan.
She simply walked and walked for several hours. Kasalukuyan siyang nasa kagubatan nang makarinig siya ng kakaibang tunog na tila pamilyar sa kanya. Nang makilala niya kung ano iyon, nanlaki ang mga mata niya.
"That's Ogre!" she rushed over to them after she said that. If she is not wrong, this is the day the Ogres will be freed from jail; she must stop them before they escape and spread fear over Catrus Land.
"Stop that!" Lucky yelled, but Noah and Erra's seal had been fully shattered. Natakot si Lucky nang isa-isang lumitaw ang mga Ogre, hindi para sa kanyang sarili kundi para sa kaniyang mga kasama. Nag-aalala siya na baka maulit ang nangyari.
She shouted and shook her head. "NO!" her entire body lighted up as she yelled, and she was shocked because she witnessed the Ogres slowly returning to the jail and the seal, which only indicates that time has returned, at sa tantiya niya ay bumalik ang oras sa loob ng limang minuto lamang.
Maging ang kaniyang pagtakbo ay bumalik, ngunit nakita niyang ilang metro lang ang layo niya sa kulungan at ang babaeng nasa harapan niya ay nakataas ang kamay. She closed her eyes and tried to teleport in two minutes; when she opened them, she was just behind the woman standing.
If Lucky is correct, she possesses the ability to teleport through time. This is known as teleportation space time—this is Libra's power.
She quickly lifted her right hand, balak hampasin ang batok ng babae, but she was startled when it shifted and struck her in the stomach, prompting her to withdraw. She groaned as she looked up at the woman, and frowned.
"W-who are you?" she asked, looking her in the eyes. She was dressed in a dark cloak and wore a mask that revealed just half of her face, with only her lips and eyes visible. Its eyes are blooded-red, and its lips are black. Its nose is likewise turn-up, at para kay Lucky hindi maitatanggi ang tinataglay nitong angking kagandahan.
However, the dark energy screams with the force of its existence. It contained so much evil magic that it seemed to be the source of such power.
"You did well. You made it, my calculations still haven't failed me. And congratulations on successfully releasing Libra."
