The Killer's New Life

28

Chapter 28

Anais Point of View

Once again, I eyed this dwarf standing in front of me. I eased my mind recalling what just happened.

Okay, I teleported myself here and the dwarf's been here? Mas na una pa sa akin? No, wait.

This time, naging mas matalim na ang tingin ko sa dwarf na nasa harapan ko.

In folklore, dwarf is a small legendary being who is usually misshapen and skilled as a craftsman, they're also known for having long life.. probably longer than faeries.

This dwarf in front of me is a girl, probably in her decade of age... judging from the presence she's giving and I can detect a large span of mana, she is a skilled magic user.

If I teleported, dapat ay pabalik na ako sa silid kung saan sina Diane... hindi rito sa gitna ng kagubatan. If my knowledge is right, I can only teleport to the places I have seen before but the place where I am is unfamiliar.

"Pardon? What do you mean?" Napakamot siya sa kaniyang ulo dahil sa kalitohang pinakita ko.

"You probably knew by now that I manipulated your teleportation. Sinadya kong dito ka dumating."

So my hunch was right. She did manipulated my teleportation.

I don't have any idea where I'm putting myself into. If I will come with this dwarf, there's two possibilities. It's either I will die or gather new information. So which one?

I can't help but to grin. "Take me to your grandmother." I rather die knowing the truth than living with a false knowledge.

"Ikaw na ikaw nga si Alanha."

That made me stop.

Pumitik ang bawat ugat kasabay ng pagtambol ng puso ko dahil sa narinig. I look at her blankly... but my thoughts are slowly exploding.

"Mamaya ka na magtanong, sa ngayon  ay hawakan mo ang kamay ko.... dadalhin kita sa portal namin." she meant.... dwarf planet? Or whatsoever basta lugar kung saan sila nakatirang mga dwarf?

Bakit hindi ko alam ang isang ito?

Pilit kong ikinubli ang kaba sa pamamagitan ng pag-abot sa maliit nitong kamay.

I don't care wether it's a wise decision... this might be a trap but then I'm a Faramir... born with this eyes and greater than my ancestors. No one can bring me down.

If this is a trap then so be it... gusto ng kalooban kong sumama dahil hindi ako tanga para hindi mahalata.... Alanha is Atlantha.

That book I have read.... it's a missing portion of the history. Her journal.

"Ohh? You already knew, mas naging matalino ka ngayon kung ikokompara noon." I ignored her words.

Hindi malinaw, hindi pa malinaw.

I have multiple questions inside my head and I feel like this is the right chance, a once in a million chances that someone will finally able to answer my questions... questions I need to make everything clear.

A confirmation.

"Close your eyes," she said and so I did close my eyes.

"We're here," as soon as I heard her, binuksan ko ang mga mata ko at isang hindi pamilyar na silid ang sumalubong sa akin.

I don't know whose house I'm in but definitely nasa loob ako ng isa sa mga silid ng bahay... sa opisina to be exact.

Ignoring the unfamiliar room, my attention diverted into an individual sitting in front of me.
