Magda was transported into another world of her story. Memories came flooding inside her mind. She couldn't figure out yet what story it was.

Two people clearly in love, she watched as the love story blossomed. A part of her was familiar with the woman, it seemed like it was the character where her soul was going to live for several chapters.

"M--marunong kang lumipad?" Namamanghang tanong ng babaeng nasa memorya niya.

Ngumisi ang lalaki at nagpakita pa ng ibang kakayahan nito. Mayroong abilidad ang lalaking espesyal na hindi kayang gawin ng pangkaraniwang tao.

Her eyes widened even more. "Ikaw... ikaw ang bayaning tinutukoy sa mga d'yaryo at pahayagan?" Kitang-kita ang paghanga mula sa ma mata ng babae.

They had been long friends. A friend that she secretly had a crush on. For the first time, she was told his biggest secret. Ang lalaki ang bayaning namamayagpag sa sangkalupaan.

With him being present around, the crimes in town became low fearing that the almighty hero would appear. According to newspapers, the masked hero can do so many cool things that no humans can do.

Mainit din ang mga mata ng iba't ibang sektor sa kanya.

Pakiramdam niya, isa siyang mahalagang tao sa buhay nito upang isa sa unang makaalam ng sekreto ng lalaki. Nasa pinakamataas silang bahagi ng kanilang lugar, tanging buwan at bituin lang ang nagsisilbing liwanag... sa pagharap niya rito'y labi ng lalaki ang lumapat sa kanyang labi.

Nanlaki ang kanyang mga mata ngunit napapikit siya sa pinagsaluhan nilang halik.

"Mahal kita, Magda," saad nito sa kanya.

"Mahal din kita, Agila."

The setting changed.

She was captured by a beast --- a horrendous-looking beast with great powers. Hindi siya natatakot dito, alam niyang ilang sandali pa'y darating ang lalaking pinakamamahal niya.

Magda kept her face emotionless. The beast was taunting her but she didn't give him the satisfaction.

Within hours of waiting, her beloved came to save her.

"Ikinagagalak ko ang iyong pagbisita..." The beast laughed like an evil entity. "Isa lang naman ang hinanda kong pagsubok sa'yo."

Two platforms raised.

Siya lang mag-isa ang nasa unang platform samantalang napakaraming taong bihag sa kabila. Her eyes were trying to search for his, another laugh rang out, "Pumili ka sa nais mong iligtas... ang iyong minamahal o ang mga walang kuwentang taong ito."

Nabahala si Magda nang mayroong malaking tipak ng bato mula sa kanyang ulunan. Ganoon din ang isa pang platform. He started to fight the beast. Nagsimula namang bumagsak ang bato, she looked at the side of platform. If she jumps... it may also cause her demise.

Nang muli siyang lumingon sa kabilang platform, her beloved hero was already on that side, not letting a huge bulk of boulder trample the people.

He flew carrying those people.

"Agila!" Magda cried out.

Fear was starting to envelope her system. She was going to be crushed by the boulder.

Without a second thought, her adrenaline rushed through her, she jumped from the platform. Malayo ang binagsakan niya. Her face was bloody. Her heart was ripped into pieces by the guy she loved...

Hindi siya gumalaw. She was trying to preserve her energy and remaining life. Maybe, he would come back to save her...

But that hope was fading as time passed by.

There was no hero to save her. She was abandoned. Tinalikuran siya ng kanyang lalaking minamahal.

Napamulat siya ng mayroong bumuhat sa kanya. It was the beast.

"Gusto mo bang maghigante?" Humalakhak ang halimaw.

Oo, gusto niya. At uunahin niya sa halimaw na bumihag sa kanya. Once she recovered, she robbed him his powers and killed the beast.

Now she's one of the most powerful villains...
