Paano napunta sa healer ang diary ng mama ko? She said that they weren't exactly friends, but what made her entrust her diary to a person she doesn't really know?

At ano nga ba ang nangyari noon? I have a lot of questions in my mind and I don't know if anyone can answer it. My biological mother - who is an Agreassine, and my other families are dead.

Basically, the bloodline ends with me. Ako nalang ang natitira sa pamilya ko. Which is more depressing the more I think about it.

So to erase the depressing thoughts in my mind, I put all my effort in training and pleasing the royal family - by saying yes to everything they ask me. Hindi naman mahirap dahil hindi naman sila gaanong demanding.

It's just that the necessities asked in the ceremony which is supposedly to be decided by the couple, sila ang sumasagot o pumipili. Mabuti na rin dahil wala naman akong alam sa pagpapakasal at iba pa ang gawi nila dito kesa sa mga mortal na nasubaybayan ko.

Sa ngayon naman ay marami akong napapansin sa sarili ko. Sometimes, I feel weak. Like my energy was being suck out from me and makes me feel dizzy. Hays. Dahil siguro iyon sa mga problema na iniisip ko kaya nas-stress ang katawan ko.

Isa rin siguro ang kakulangan ko sa tulog. I always stay up late outside in my balcony, just admiring the full moon above me. Something about it is extremely enticing and soothing that's why I can't help but stare at it for so long until it's almost morning.

Sobrang napapanatag ako sa dilim na dala ng gabi, lalo na ang pagtitig sa buwan na tila may sinasabi ito sa'kin.

"The way to have power is to make it."

Tahimik akong nakikinig sa sinasabi ni Amir sa gitna ng klase. Our lesson tackles more about our powers and how to use them properly.

Dalawang oras rin kaming ganito bago sasabak uli sa pisikal na sakitan. Kidding. We'll be having our routines later for both our magic and physical strength.

"Power is dangerous unless you have humility."

Muntik akong pumiksi sa kinauupan nang dumapo ang tingin niya sa'kin. I thought he was gonna ask me about my opinion or such but then, he averted his eyes and continued teaching.

Whew. Akala ko tatawagin ako. Napaka strict naman kasi ni Coach Amir, sobrang kabaliktaran ni Lyko. The air in this room always feels uneasy and heavy when he's the one teaching. Kung iba naman ay okay lang.

"Take what you have and turn it into what you desire."

The class ended and I went out with a scratch on my cheeks and a few bruises on my shoulder. We had our weekly sparring earlier at sakto pang lalake ang nakalaban ko.

I admit that men are physically stronger than us - women. But hell, are they such sore losers too. Sobrang taas at laki ng ego kaya di pumapayag na matalo.

One guy asked for rematch earlier when he lost to a girl. Panay ang reklamo nito dahil akala niya ay joke lang lahat. He was the one making it as a joke, and the girl was so serious she was able to knock him down twice.

Nang magseryoso na siya ay huli na ang lahat. He got K.O.-ed twice and that's already winning for the girl.

"I thought we'll be skipping classes today." Malungkot kong saad sa naghihintay na si Lyko.
