CLEOBELLE / SINCLAIR
"What's wrong?" I asked coldly.
Dahan dahan siyang tumayo at pinagpagan ang sarili.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" he asked.
Aside from coming back earlier in this lifetime, I reawakened my power early. Now, I met Aslan earlier as well.
I'm supposed to meet him at sixteen, not when I'm seven.
"I'm Sin—I'm Cleobelle. I think I'm lost?" I replied in a lazy manner.
"From where I live, Cleobelle means freedom," he said, making me stop for a moment.
"From where I live, it means unlucky," I shrugged.
That's what Vespera said.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"Aslan," simple niyang sagot.
"Kids like you, shouldn't be here," he commented.
"You're a kid too," komento ko.
Nagsalubong ang kilay niya roon. "I'm not. I'm fourteen," he hissed.
"That's still young," I shrugged.
"No," he again disagreed. "If I'm young, then why do I have to do adult duties?" Nakapamewang niyang saad.
Right, Aslan had a rough life as well.
"What do you do?" I asked.
"I kill demons," he stated.
"Why?" I asked again.
"Because I need to," he answered.
"Why?" muli ko pang tanong sa kanya.
"To prove that I'm worthy of my life," he again answered.
"Why?"
Nagsalubong lalo ang kilay niya doon.
It's just amusing that he's this honest. He always lies in my previous lives. He lies about how he feels and what he really means.
"Do you only know how to say why?" he complained.
"Bakit ba ang dami mong tanong? Hindi mo naman naiintindihan," ungos niya pa.
"I do understand. I just don't get why you need to prove yourself worthy. I think you're already worthy as you are now," I shrugged.
Nag-iwas tingin siya doon.
"Sinasabi mo iyan kasi hindi mo ako kilala," naiiling niyang saad.
"Didn't you see all these demons I killed?" He hissed then picked up his sword. Afterwards, a ball of azure flames formed in his hands.
Ibinato niya iyon sa mga demonyong kanyang kinitil kanina saka sinunog lalo sila hanggang sa tuluyan nang maging abo ang mga ito.
Pyropolis is the land of fire, but I've never seen an azure flames as beautiful as his.
"What would you use that many demon cores for? Do you need that much money?" I asked.
Umiling siya doon.
"No. My superior asked me to bring him a thousand cores and he'll let me visit my parents' grave. . ." he stated.
Sumeryoso ang mukha ko doon. That cruel Emperor is at it again.
