After hearing a terrifying prophecy about her life, Reika had to become a stronger Divian to protect herself from the looming danger. Together with her best friend Lexi, they traveled to the Capital for an apprenticeship under a Spirit Master, but e...
"I have been waiting for you, Reika." "Phoebe . . ."
Nakaawang lang ang bibig ko habang nakatingin sa kanya. The girl in front of me is the owner of the voice inside my head, and she's Phoebe.
"H-how . . ."
Ngumiti lang siya sa akin. Bigla siyang humakbang palapit sa akin kaya naman nagpanic ako at agad na umatras. I still don't know how to deal with this situation given the fact that I'm facing someone who's supposed to be a phoenix. A guardian. Not a human.
Nagulat naman ako no'ng nakita ko ang pagtulo ng luha niya. Pinunasan naman niya agad ang pisngi niya at muling ngumiti sa akin.

"Ah. It's been a long time since someone called me by my name," sabi niya at muling tumulo ang luha mula sa mga mata niya.
Hindi ko alam kung dahil ba sa spirit particle concentration kaya hindi ako makahinga o dahil nasa harap ko siya ngayon.
"You . . . all this time . . ." sabay hawak ko sa ulo ko. "But how . . . Phoebe is . . ."
I can't even form a sentence anymore. My mind is racing with so many thoughts and they are making me dizzy. How? How did all of these happen?
"Did you read the prophecies?" tanong niya at tumango naman ako.
Her blue eyes and hair keep on distracting me. With those features, I know that she's somehow connected to Phoebe, my guardian. On top of that, she bears the same name, too.
Suddenly, the spirit particles encircled her and then her appearance started to change. Her white dress turned into an elegant one, with accessories glittering on it and her whole body; and her hair, glowing like blue fire, was styled with a simple braid and a tiara. From her innocent and young look earlier, she transformed into a graceful princess.
"Do you still remember the immortality prophecy?" she said with a smile and I nodded.
Unlimited power will be hers,
Accompanied by its curse;
Death can't claim her spirit,
But few will be after it.
Fire will claim its flame,
And seal the owner and her name;
Until the second finds its way to her,
The world will fall as hell takes over.
Pagkatapos kong sabihin ang ang prophecy ay napatingin ako sa kanya.
"It's you," I said after I realized the meaning of the lines.
