CLEOBELLE / SINCLAIR
"We've arrived, your highness," Ifrid smiled as he guided me out of the fiery carriage.
I was then welcomed by an unexpected sight. A world that everyone thought as a simple myth for children.
The place is blinding and warm. It's filled with mythical creatures and all kinds of spirits living together in peace.
I felt like I've set foot in heaven after being stuck in hell for eternity.
"How. . . No one can come here unless you're a spirit," I commented, given that I was able to set foot in this place.
It's weird, because it's the first time I got here, but it felt like I've known this place forever.
"Am I—"
Ifrid didn't let me continue my words. "No, you're not a mythical creature or a spirit your highness, as it's not possible for us to have a child with Lumins." Ifrid laughed.
"Right. Spirits are born literally from anything but s*x." I frowned.
"Yeah, just like how I was born from a small light, while the beautiful ice spirit queen, was born from an ice rose inside the spirit world. She was then chosen to be the queen due to her fate to serve you, and I, became the fire spirit king because of my lord," he stated, making me halt.
"How is that connected to me?" I hissed.
Just who is Ifrid's summoner?
"Let's go?" He grinned, ignoring my question.
I just followed him because I was curious.
Nakapagtataka lamang dahil ang lahat ng nadaraanan naming mga elemento ay dikit nang dikit sa akin.
"They like you. . .Just like the old times," Ifrid smiled.
Lalo akong nagtaka doon.
"Anong ibig mong sabihi—" natigilan na lamang ako nang bumungad sa amin ang isang matayog na puno.
"Naririto na tayo, kamahalan," ngiti nito saka iminwestra ang malaking punong kulay pilak at tila ba'y nakakalbo na.
"Oh tapos?" nauubusan nang pasensyang sabi ko.
"Do you know?" he smiled at me.
"What?" I frowned.
"Only fairies can summon us, spirits. We're born with a sole purpose to serve them. They are our life, our salvation. . . " he said those words with a lonely smile.
"This might be a selfish request; but please don't die in this life again your highness, as I don't wish to see Elsa Die yet another time. . . It breaks me as much as I see how your death breaks him," he mumbled between his breath.
Him? Who?
"Elsa also die when I do?"
Mariing tanong ko sa kanya. Malungkot lamang siyang ngumiti sa akin saka marahan akong itinulak sa matayog na puno.
Nagulat na lamang ako nang mawalan ako ng balanse at bigla na lamang akong higupin ng kawalan.
Sa isang iglap ay nahulog ako sa isang mababaw na tubig na abot lamang hanggang sa aking paa. Ito na ata ang pinakamalinaw na tubig na nakita ko.
Napakalamig nito at kahit anong paggalaw mo ay malumanay lamang ang kanyang alon.
Wala akong ibang nakikita kung hindi ang tubig na aking inaapakan at ang maliwanag na kalangitan.
