Amaranth ( the unfading flower)

chapter 3

Daffodil's Pov

A month has passed pero hindi parin nagigising si Ara. Napakalaking posibilidad na mamatay sya noon kung hindi agad sya naagapan ng luhas. She's too weak to handle an amulet like that. What triggers the edelweiss to produce a Lurkspur amulet,and yet it seems to be different from the ussual one.

"Duke Sebastian,what do you know about Ara? " I asked. He's the one who adopted Ara in the first place. Duke Sebastian is one of the elite Larkspur. Katulad sa mortal,he has lot of connections. Kaya nyang malaman lahat tungkol sayo sa isang pitik lang.

"According to what i've learned,Ara's father is a mortal. Her mother died giving birth to her child,Ara. That's all i have so far. Wala na akong mahanap kahit isang flower gaurdian o Larkspur na related sa kanya." Paliwanag nya. Napakaramdom lang pala ng information. Walang concrete identity.

"pectus pectoris exsisto ut unus, heart be as one. I've read this from the book. Ayon sa prophecy : 'Two buds was once seperated. Heart that beats in two different places. Let love be the path, pectus pectoris exsisto ut unus "

"But one must shed a heart so pure. " Nagulat ako sa sinabi nya. " To eternity they will meet. One who has a beat for life,a life to beat for one. Bound by sacrife,

pectus pectoris exsisto ut unus "

"Hindi ko maintindihan? "I mean,oo alam ko kung anu ibig sabihin nun. Pero bakit nya sinabi yun? Sadness registered to his face.

"That's the last part of prophecy. Sa iisang libro lang ito nakasulat. After the lost of Queen Anemone,the prophecy was declared as disgrace. That was the time that kingdom Zephyranth almost fell apart. No one dares to mention it after. "

"Queen Anemone? Who is she? Bakit wala sya sa book of life ng Larkspurs? "

" It's because. ." bigla syang yumuko. His shoulders are shaking. " tsismiss lang yun. Dati ko pa naririnig pero ikaw lang ang taong naniwala sakin " sabay tawa ng malakas. Lahat ba ng duke ng Larspur kasing weird nya? Kung hindi lang to matanda,malamang binaon ko na to sa lupa.

"AAHHHHHH!!!!! " Ara! I run across the room and saw her crying uncontrolably. Her eyes stareswith fear. Her lips trembling. She holds her breath,more like choking with it.

"Shhh,everything's gonno be okay. I'm here . Don't worry " I patted her head trying to comfort her. I hugged her to stop from shaking.

" He died,Daffodil. He died " Lumakas lalo ang iyak nya. Habang tumatagal,lalong humihigpit ang yakap nya na para bang takot syang mawala ako bigla sa kamay nya.

"Who,Ara? "

"I don't know .I-i dont know" Hindi paring sya tumitigil. Ngayon lang sya umiyak ng sobra. It must have been a nightmare,mas malala sa dati nyang nakwekwento sa akin.

DK's Pov

I really can't believe what happened a month ago.

I heard her voice,then my body started to feel odd. It moves against my will. Para bang may sariling buhay ang katawan ko.

Then a light came flashing. Gusto ko umiwas pero hindi ko magawa. My body was frozen,ready to welcome the pain i was about to recieve. Pero bigla ako nasungaban ni Saffron. May maitim na usok na bumalot sakin. I heard him growled in pain at nawalan ako ng malay.

" DK.HOI DK.!!" Pero tignan mo,buhay na buhay si Saf na parang walang nangyari.

"Ipaalala mo nga sakin kung bakit ka pa nabuhay " Nawala sya ng halos 1 buwan. Akala ko nga patay na sya. He was nowhere to be found. At eto sya ngayon sa harap ko,worser than ever.
