The Wizard Of Ice (Completed. Editing.)

Chapter 1: Another World (Edited)

The moment I came conscious, I felt cold, rough gravel pressing my right cheek. Unti-unti ko'ng idinilat ang mga mata ko, then I waited for my vision to came into focus. Weeds and stones welcomed me. I'm lying faced down on the ground.

Pinilit kong tumayo. Itinukod ko ang mga kamay sa lupa at tumulak. Pinagpag ko ang suot ko; tinanggal ang mga duming dumikit. Nag-angat ako ng tingin, and what I saw made me stop. A white fence, and behind it a cemented road, queer-looking houses were lined at the edge.

I felt my head begin to pound. This isn't good. Nagmadali akong naglakad sa damuhan para lapitan ang fence. I peered over it and saw that the road has white, broken lines in the middle.

''Futureland?'' I asked myself. Ngunit parang may kakaiba rin sa tanong ko. I've never been to Futureland but this isn't what I visualized it would look like. I expected flying trains and giant buildings.

Nakaramdam ako ng matinding sakit sa ulo ko at napahawak ako dito at napapikit.

But, mas mabuti pa siguro'ng mamaya 'ko na problemahin kung saan ako. The question's---

''How'd I got here?'' Inis na inis na sambit ko sa sarili. And, as if answering my question, isa-isang nagfa-flashback ang mga scenes sa utak ko. Scenes from a bloody battle...

''Close the gates!'' The king, standing on high-raised platform in front of the palace, shouted at the guards.

Gulat na gulat siya habang nakatayo sa harap ng palasyo at tininatanaw ang village sa harap ng kaharian, sa slope ng bundok, na kasalukuyang sinasalakay ng mga nilalang.

''Elves,'' bulong niya. He must be feeling a rush of great anger, for his eyes turned crystal clear, losing irises and pupils.

The village was in chaos! All that can be heard were shouts, cries, screams, deafening explosions and the roaring of hellish fires crumbling down houses into ash and smokes.

Thousands of Elven Elders swarmed towards the palace like angry bees disturbed from their beehives.

Ngunit, tuluyang sumara ang dambuhalang gate ng palasyo! Shutting out the village outside. A selfish decision. The palace was safe save for the Elven Elders that lined up the sky.

Unti unting inangat ng hari ang kanyang mga kamay, whispering an incantation. His eyes were glowing, and twisting and curling symbols appeared on his temple and arms. The wind was howling fiercely, whipping the king's robes, making him look somewhat like a god.

Matapos lumabas sa bibig ng hari ang enkantasyon ay naglabas ng malakas ng pwersa ang katawan niya.

A blue laser light came down from the sky and hit the king. Tila binigyan siya nito ng lakas, for in a blink of an eye the whole kingdom was surrounded by a sphere made of solid wind. The swarm of Elven Elders could go no further than the sphere.
Pero kitang-kita ang mga purple streaks na nagmumula sa mga staff nila, they were trying to destroy the shield!

The king put his arms down very slowly, nakatingin siya sa mga Elders. Alam niyang hindi tatagal ang shield na iyon.

''Warriors to the gates! Archers on the Fort Platform! Now!'' sigaw ng hari sa mga kawal sa gilid niya.
