Evening
"How is he?" tanong ko kaagad pagkalabas ng doktor. Nandito na kami ngayon sa capital city ng Al-Sahil, Azraq.
"The patient is recovering at an incredible speed. He'll wake up soon," sagot ng doktor.
Para akong nabunutan ng tinik. Salamat naman. Ewan ko nalang talaga kung anong mangyayari 'pag may masamang mangyari kay Killua. Parang nakababatang kapatid na rin ang turing ko sa kaniya.
"Thank you po," sambit ko rito.
Tumango naman ito bago nagsalita uli. "To be honest, madames and sirs, I've never seen someone with an affinity to regenerate himself. Pardon me for asking but, what is the boy's affinity?"
Nagtaka kami sa sinabi niya.
"Regenerate?" Si Mikael na ang kusang nagtanong.
Tumango ito ulit. "Yes, yes. The kid's wounds healed itself. Do you not know?"
Nagkatinginan kami, walang masagot. Oo nga pala, wala akong kaalam-alam kay Killua. All I know is that he was the last survivor of the winter tribe massacre in Nevotta, a village deep in the mountains of Silveria Kingdom.
Come to think of it, how did a mere child escape a massacre?
"Doc." Biglang lumapit ang assistant ng doktor at may sinabi sa ibang lenggwuhe.
Lumingon naman and doktor sa 'min. "She says a knight is looking for you outside."
Bigla kaming nabalot ng kaba. Nahanap ba kami ni Heinz?
"I beg your pardon?" tanong ni Mikael. "A knight from the royal palace of Al-Sahil?"
Kumunot ang noo ko. Al-Sahil? Hindi sa Yngrassia?
"Yes, yes," sagot ng doktor bago binalingan ng tingin ang assistant nito. "Please tell him to come inside."
Tumango naman ito tsaka umalis bago bumalik na may kasamang kawal.
He's wearing a metal armour plate and chainmail adorned with white garment that covers his face from the heat of the sun.
Nang makita kami ay yumuko ito. "Greetings, young lords and my ladies. I was ordered by the sultan to escort you back in the royal palace upon your arival as per the request of his most distinguished guest."
Nanlaki ang mata ko nang makilala kung sino ang ibig nitong sabihin.
Si kuya Ansaiah!
Agad kaming sumama sa kawal. Sinakay na rin namin ang walang malay na Killua sa isang wagon at ililipat nalang siya sa infirmary sa palasyo. Sa mga sandstrider naman kami sumakay.
Not long, dozens of huge, towering mosques built side by side and formed one huge palace greeted us. Unlike the houses, it's made of white alabaster and stones, golden dome-shaped roofs and intricate carvings along the pillars and walls.
When we neared the palace, that's when I noticed hundreds of potted plants hanging around it, showing it's finery and grandeur. Naalala ko tuloy rito ang hanging gradens of Babylon.
