Lost Realm: The World of Magical Creatures

CHAPTER THREE

"IT doesn't make any sense!" bulalas niya.

Naihagis niya ang kulay pink na throw pillow across the room. Nasa loob na siya ngayon ng kaniyang kuwarto at magpahanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin niya maintindihan kung ano ang nangyari kanina.

"What did I even saw? It's not really making any sense."

Pabagsak siyang nahiga sa malambot na kama. Narinig niya ang mahihinang katok mula sa nakasaradong pintuan ng kuwarto niya.

"Lady Elizabeth, dinner is ready," she heard the servant said.

"I'm coming down," sagot niya. "And don't call me that, please," paalala niya rito.

She doesn't like her name. It sounds so old and medieval, and it doesn't even suit her personality.

Huminga siya nang malalim at tumitig sa kisame. Whatever that is, she should forget about it. Hindi naman siguro magiging gulo iyon kung sakali man.

She got up from the bed and wore her soft, fluffy slippers before opening the door and going down stairs. Nagulat siya nang bigla na lamang kumulog nang malakas. She glanced out of the window at the end of the hallway and saw the dark clouds forming in the sky.

"That scared the hell out of me." Napapailing niyang sabi bago nagpatuloy sa pagbaba ng hagdanan.

Sa labas ng bintanang iyon mabilis na dumaan ang isang lumilipad na bagay. Large wings flapped as it glided up to the roof. The lightning strikes along with a deafening thunder. Mabilis na bumuhos ang malakas na ulan. But the creature wasn't faze as it continues to fly in and out of the shadows, the moonlight casting from the gaps between the dark clouds.

A tall form landed on top of the roof, the sound of the falling rain covering the noise that it made. The creature continued to walk, not even bothered that the roof is slippery. It stopped on a spot right on top of the dining area inside Lissy's home.

The creature sat there, listening, watching in silence as the rain continues to shower the whole town.

THE next day, Lissy woke up with a smile.

Napasarap ang tulog niya. Hindi siya nanaginip ng kahit anong wirdong bagay. She had also forgotten about what had happened yesterday, completely, without any traces of memory. Kaya naman nang pumasok siya sa school nang umagang iyon ay hindi niya masyadong pansin ang presensya nila Zak na silang tahimik na nanonood sa pagdating niya habang kausap niya ang kaibigan na si Maristella.

"It rained a lot last night. Did you erased her memory?" Eros asked Zak. Itim ang maikli nitong buhok, kulay tsokolate ang mga mata, matangos ang ilong, at matangkad. Suot nito ang uniporme ng akademyang iyon.

"I did."

"Why did you show her your ability in the first place?" tanong naman ni Xavier, katulad ni Eros ay itim din ang buhok nito na medyo kulot at brown ang kulay ng mga mata. He's shorter than Eros and Zak but his built is much stronger than Eros. Halatang mas alaga sa ehersisyo ang matipunong katawan nito.

"I don't know. I'm just looking for something, I want to answer my question." Kunot-noong sagot ni Zak.

"Are you still bothered by it?" si Xavier, tinutukoy nito ang unang araw na nakilala ni Zak si Lissy. She wasn't suppose to see him, and yet she did, she even felt him bumped into her.

He didn't have a choice since then but to join his friends in that school. Iyon ang dahilan kung bakit napansin na rin siya ng mga estudyante noon. He had let them see him.

"Mukha namang hindi niya masyadong binibigyan ng pansin ang mga nakita," saad ni Eros.

"She's a mortal, of course she wouldn't take it so seriously," komento ni Xavier.
