The Chosen Ones

A Colonel's Order

Tito Col.Alfred's POV

Nasa office ako nun nang bigla nalang merong kumatok sa pinto.

"Sino yan?" tanong ko habang may kaba sa aking dib-dib.

Sino pa ba nga naman ang di kakabahan eh 3pm pa naman tsaka ako lang andito sa bahay kasi si Rymsys ay nag-celebrate pa kasama ang kanyang mga kabarkada eh siguradong di pa yung umuwi.

"Its me , old friend!"

For God sake!

Yung aso pala ng asawa ng pinsan ko ang nagsasalita.

"Alfred , we really should tell Rymsys who he really is before they get to him close"

S-sinong 'they'?

"Anong ibig mong sabihin?" nagtataka kong tanong.

May report pa akong ginagawa tungkol sa fight on drugs at ito pa ang asong to nagsasalita tungkol sa mga bagay bagay na di ko naman naiintindihan.

Ang hirap nga naman ng buhay.

"The spirits are coming close, those red spirits or modernly called by witches as forge spirits. A combination of witchcraft , elemental spirits and a mortal blood. They fed on Demigods and that makes them grow stronger and stronger."

Oo nga yun yung sinasabi ni pinsan na kumakain ng mga Demigods.

"Kailan mo to nalaman? Ba't ngayon mo lang ako sinabihan?" I responded arrogantly.

WTF! Ba't ba ngayon lang sinabi ng asong to ang lahat-lahat tungkol sa mga tangnang ispiritong mga yan!

"Im sorry old friend! I have a short term memory lost , due to lack of energy. But anyways , we really need to tell him the truth."

Ito na nga ba yung sinasabi ni Insan.

Should I really tell Rymsys the truth?

Maybe he'll freak out.

What if? He'll...

"Don't jump into conclusions old friend. Trust me! He'll accept it. Its all about his Parents anyways , he's been waiting to know the mysteries behind his parents disappearance."

How'd he know what i was thinking?

This dog's more mysterious than Rymsys' Parents disappearance.

"Ok! I'll tell him as soon as he comeback."

Oh ayan , is he now satisfied with my word.

"Uhmmmm... One more thing Colonel! Make sure he'll know about the box hiding under his Cabinet."

*POOF*

Bigla nalang nawala yung aso at di ko na alam kung saan na yun nagpunta.

Sa ngayon ang alam ko , ang ancient key ng chest na yun ay nasa isang library sa Ilocos kung saan dun din ang huling lugar na nakita ko ang nanay ni Rymsys.

Ano na gagawin ko?

*Krrrriiiiiinnnnnnggggggggggggggggggg!!*

Bigla nalang tumunog ang phone ko.

"Hello. This is Colonel Alfred speaking" sinagot ko naman ito agad.

"Oh hi Colonel! I'm Lionel from the OPS Store , I just want you to know that Rymsys has received the shipment you gave to us last week." Sabi ng lalaking taga OPS Store.

Ba't naman merong makukuhang package si Rymsys na galing sa akin , eh hindi naman ako nagpadala nun sa kanya.

Isa pa , bat ko naman ipapa-package , eh parehas lang naman kami ng tinitirhan.
