CLEOBELLE / SINCLAIR

"Alam mo ba kung sino ang misteryosong nilalang na ito?" tanong ko.

Umiling doon si Vespera. "Patawad, ngunit hindi sapat ang kapangyarihan ko upang malaman kung sino ang nilalang na iyon," sagot ni Vespera.

"Ang alam ko lang ay lubos siyang makapangyarihan. Tila ba ay may kontrol siya sa bawat sulok ng Lumina. Kakaiba ngunit pamilyar ang kanyang presensya," dagdag pa niya.

Nagsalubong ang kilay ko doon. "Anong ibig mong sabihin sa pamilyar?" tanong ko.

Tumingin siya ng diretso sa aking mga mata.

"Did you know how witches were born?" Vespera asked.

"S*x?" I said, in a bland tone.

Vespera laughed. "Yes, but there's more to it that no one probably knows but me," she stated.

"Not that I'm aware of," I shrugged.

"Witches was born out of two entities that's not supposed to be together. . . " she started.

"Hindi ako manghuhula, Vespera," iritang sambit ko.

"Just tell me who's who," I frowned.

Napangiti lamang siya doon.

"About millions of years ago at the early years of Lumina; A strong demon fell on Lumina after betraying her kind. She was wicked and cold. With her power, she brought chaos everywhere she goes. It lasted for a thousand years until she met that man, a man whose light was blinding. His eyes were very clear, as if he could see through you. She fought him countless of times but instead of hate, she started looking forward—"

"Oh stop that boring love story. Fine they're enemies to lovers, had child I assume, then witches bloodline started. Now what?" I complained.

"You're too impatient," she hissed.

I just rolled my eyes at her.

"You're right. Those two fell in love and had a child. Unfortunately, that demon was killed by the first Emperor of Lumina so her child decided to seek vengeance and started the bloodline of witches," she confirmed.

"Anong koneksiyon ng kwentong iyan sa pamilyar na presensya na naramdaman mo sa nilalang na iyon?" diretsahang tanong ko.

Vespera closed her eyes.

"That mysterious being seemed to be connected with the demon in the story I narrated. However, I'm sure that they're not the same person," she uttered.

"So that being is a demon? The same kind perhaps?" I asked.

"You're quite sharp," she smiled. "I don't think that the mysterious entity is a demon. More like it's connected to one, and yes, you're right about that demon being the same kind," she informed.

A demon pact huh?

Kung totoo ang sinasabi ni Vespera ay maaari kayang isang tao lamang ang gumawa nito at nakipagkasundo sa isang demonyong konektado sa babaeng nakasaad sa kwento ni Vespera?

Hindi imposible iyon. 

Ngunit sino ang may kakayahang gawin ito sa orihinal kong mundo at bakit?

Bakit ako?

Anong ginawa ko sa taong iyon para dalhin niya ako sa mundong ito?

"Is it possible that the person you're talking about is the author of this world? Mortimer Graves?" I asked her directly.
