Huminga ako ng malalim habang nakatingin sa lawa. Hinahanda ko narin ang isip ko bago ako sumuong sa malalim na lawang ito. Pati ang suot ko ay sinuri ko muna ng mabuti. Grandpa Cedric and Grandma Adelia made this suit and they made sure that it would be comfortable for me if I dive down deep this lake. This full body swimsuit was also enchanted by me and Ms. Dawn. 

"Are you sure you'll do this today? You should prepare your mind first" nag-aalalang wika ni Ruby. 

"Matagal ko nang hinanda ang sarili ko para dito Ruby. Kailangan ko ng kunin 'to" 

"But you'll be safe right?" tanong pa ni Carmen. Binigyan ko namang sila ng ngiti at tumango. 

"Kung hindi ka umahon pagkatapos ng isang oras ay talagang susundan ka namin" parang mayroong pagbabantang wika ni Chance sa akin kaya napatawa ako ng bahagya. Napailing naman sina Ruby at Carmen at natawa rin.

As if they can dive deep down this lake. Sinubukan na nila dating languyin ang lawang ito pero parang mayroon daw na pumipigil sa kanila pailalim. We figured it's the spell but Ms. Dawn concluded that only a person with my clan's blood can dive deep down this lake. 

"Good luck" ani Tyrion at Vance. 

"The spell is ready?" tanong ni Sir Erret sa akin. 

I nodded at him. " It's all in my head, don't worry."

Ever since we figured out the spell  casted on this lake and my sword I already prepared and practice myself. Every words and syllables, I made sure I perfected it. If the result does not come out as we expect it today then it means I'm still not worth it. But whatever the outcome is, I will still protect this place and our people. 

Makuha ko man ang sandata o hindi ay pursigido na akong poprotektahan ko ang mga kaibigan at pamilya ko. 

" The night is almost up" Paalala ni Ms. Dawn. Katabi niya sina Cassi at ang ibang mga kasama ni Cassi. Cassi and her brother seems so worried looking at me so I smiled at them both. Though the guy still creeps me out but I appreciate how worried he is. 

" I'll be fine" I said reassuring them. 

I turn towards the lake and heaved another big sigh. I tap the side of my hips and checked some things and it's all there. Sir Erret also gave me a sharp thing in case I need it. I think I am all set. 

"I'll go now. Babalik ako kaagad" sabi ko at inilagay na sa bibig ko ang isang gadget na ginawa parin ni Grandpa Cedric. He said it'll help me lengthen my breath underwater. 

I didn't waste no time and jumped in the lake and continued swimming below. I took out my special flashlight since it's getting dark. I can't believe it's so dark in here. Maybe because it's almost night. Binilisan ko pa ang paglangoy sa ilalim hanggang sa makarating ako sa lebel kung saan marami akong nakikitang kumikinang na mga nilalang. 

The lights glowed like they were dancing in my eyes. The temperature is not as cold as I expect it. Aside from that, I can sense a familiar power down  below. A familiar magic that all people can sense from above, my clan's magic. 

As I dive down deeper the magic keeps growing immensely to the point that the magic is now visible. A powerful barrier with it's golden color and inside that round barrier is the sword. I swam closer to the sword and touched the barrier. It didn't hurt me but it was pushing me away. But that won't make me stop from retrieving the sword. I prepared myself for this for how many months and now I am ready.
