Celestial Academy: Unveiling Destiny (Academy Series 1)

Chapter 23

Seraphina's pov

Namayani ang katahimikan dito sa loob ng opisina ni Headmaster habang hinihintay namin siya. Gaya ng sinabi niya kagabi ay kakausapin niya kami ngayon. Kasama pala namin si Flynn ngayon, sinamahan ko siyang pumunta sa healer kaina. Ang hirap nga niyang pabangunin kaninang umaga, ayaw pa akong pakawalan kaya at the end halos isang oras siyang nakayap saakin hanggang sa siya na mismo ang kusang humiwalay.

I heard the door opened at the back of the headmaster's table. He came out while holding a fractured Shards. It was a tangible, crystalline fragments. What is that?

"Ano yan headmaster?" Nagtatakang tanong ni Catherine

"This was found around the Academy." He said as he put it down. Tinitigan ko ito. The crystals shimmers with an inner light and the light inside them  pulses in Rhythmic pattern, like a heartbeat.

"This came from the harrier around the Academy at isa lang ang ibig sabihin nito, Humina na ang Barrier gaya ng sinabi ko sa inyo kagabi." Seryosong saad ni Headmaster but I can see through his eyes that he is worried. Nanatili naman kaming tahimik habang hinihintay sa sunod niyang sasabihin.

"I need your help everyone, I will sent you into a mission." I can see the excitement from their faces lalo na si Arisson, he do really love missios huh.

"I need you to find someone. Siya ang makakatulong saatin para ibalik ag lakas ng Barrier dahil nararamdaman kong nagsisimula na ang inaasahan nating gyera. Kaylangan nating protektahan ang Academya laban sa kanila." I can see how much he cared for the Academy.

"Nakausap ko ang council kagabi, they want you to move as soon as possible."

"Council?" I didn't notice that I blurted it out. Napatingin silang lahat saakin.

"The council are composed of seven people from the four kingdom Iha. Sila ang nagpapatupad ng mga batas at nagbibigay ng mga parusa sa mga taong lalabag nito." Mahinahong paliwanag ni Headmaster. Are they an important people? Nakita niya ata ang pagkalito ko kaya't nagpatuloy siyang magsalita.

"They held an Authority almost similar from the Kings and Queens dahil nasa kanila ang pabor ng mga mamamayan." So for short they had the power to defy the Royalties... Why do I smell trouble from them?

"So let's go back.. Catalina is the name of the person you will find, dati ko siyang secretarya. She left Twenty years ago, wala akong balita kung anong nangyari sa kanya at kung nasaan siya but a few weeks ago nagpakita siya sa panaginip ko and she told me where she is." Nakita ko ang pagkislap ng kanyang mga mata sa pagbangit niya ng pangalang Catalina. Akala ko ay puro responsibilidad lang ang nasa isip niya pero mali ako. I bite my lower lip to stop myself from blurting it out.

"Nasaan siya headmaster?" Tanong ni Sebastian

"She's in the mortal world." Parang tumigil ang aking mundo dahil sa aking narinig. N-no

"Eh dun kami pupunta headmaster?! Omygosh I'm excited." Boses ni Wendy ang aking narinig ngunit hindi ko ito pinagtuunan ng pansin at nanatili lang na naka yuko. By just hearing the name of that horrible place makes my blood boil. That world is full of pain, lies, ad suffering. I learned that the hard way, through experiences that left me deep scars.

"Oo at bukas na kayo pupunta. You don't have to worry kung maligaw man kayo, you have Miss Seraphina to help and guide you. Am I right Iha?" He knows I once lived there. Paano? Hindi ko din alam. I felt their eyes on me pero hindi ako nag angat ng tingin. I don't want them to know how much I despise that place.

"OMG! Naka punta ka na doon Sera?" I clenched my hands over the edge of my shirt. Tumango ako sa tanong ni Arianna. I coundn't find my voice to speak.

"Our mission will be much easier then." Saad naman ni Elijah. I thought no one notice my weird behavior dahil ipinagpatuloy lang nila ang kanilang paguusap without asking me anything else but I was wrong. I saw how Flynn large hand held my trembling one. With that touch, the trembling stop. I lift my head to met his eyes. His eyes is gently looking at me, It was not asking but comforting.
