The Heiress Of Magic

Chapter 2

VIA

I don't believe in magic. I really don't, but I'm starting to believe it after seeing these trees and flowers here. Naglalakad ako ngayon at hindi ko alam ang mararamdaman ko dahil sa nakikita ko.

Ang daming bulaklak at ito'y kakaiba. Kapag sinabi kong kakaiba, literal na kakaiba talaga ito.

Where can I find a crsytal pink flower? When I say that it's crystal, it's literally made of crystal. Ang dahon nito ay light green na may highlight na purple. Damn, I'm going crazy. First, the car. Second, these flowers. Saang mundo ba ito? Bakit dinala ako rito ni Tita? Does she even know what's behind that huge silver gate?

Hindi ko talaga alam ang ire-react ko. Is magic real?

And the trees. Iba-iba ang kulay ng mga dahon. May pula, may asul, may lilak. Wala pa akong nakitang normal na puno rito. Did they paint the leaves or what?

Patuloy lang ako sa paglakad hanggang sa may bumungad sa akin na pader. Ang taas ng pader. Teka, saan na ako pupunta? Damn, I think I'm lost. I started to panic. Gusto ko na lang umuwi at kalimutan ang mga nakita ko.

The school must be behind this wall. Pero, saan ang daan?

"Oh. Nandito ka na pala. Kanina pa kita hinihintay."

Nagulat ako nang may magsalita sa likuran ko. I turned around to see who the person is and I saw a beautiful lady. She's really pretty.

Ngumiti ako sa kanya at tatanungin ko na sana kung sino siya nang bigla itong magsalita.

"Halika na, pumasok na tayo sa eskwelahan mo," aniya.

"Uhm, how?" tanong ko. Ngumiti lang siya sa akin.

"Just follow me, okay? I'm Ereen by the way, and you are?" pagpapakilala niya.

"I'm Via Myrre. Nice to meet you."

"It's nice to meet you too. So halika na, pumasok na tayo," aniya. Nagtataka pa rin ako kung paano kami makakapasok.

May kung anong hinanap si Ate Ereen sa pader at namangha ako nang itinulak niya ang isang brick at may lumabas na keyboard.

She started to type something that I don't know and the keyboard vanished. May biglang lumitaw na oval something and it looks like a portal.

No, it's really a portal. Napaatras ako sa gulat. I'm fond of reading fantasy stories but I don't believe in magic, so what the hell is this? It's a damn portal and it only exists in books but sh*t, I'm seeing one right now.

"Via? Are you okay?" nag-aalalang tanong ni Ate Ereen. Umiling ako. There's no need to lie because I'm really not okay.

"Okay so first of all, this is getting weirder. I just saw a car vanished. Then the flowers and trees with a weird color and structure, and now this? Mababaliw na yata ako dahil alam kong hindi nag-e-exist ang mga ganito. I mean, this is crazy! Can you please explain this?" mahabang litanya ko. I can't take this anymore. Mababaliw na ako.

Narinig kong nagpakawala ng isang malalim na buntong hininga si Ate Ereen.

"The headmaster will be the one who'll explain this to you."
