A Journey in Gehenna (On-going)

Journey 6: Crestfallen

Journey 6: Crestfallen

╰Wicca's POV╮

Looks like everyone is having a marvelous time. Everyone is preparing for the upcoming war.

I bowed in front of the queen as a sign of respect. Narinig ko na pinapatawag daw niya ako.

"Wicca," hearing her voice makes my spine shiver, "kailan mo pa maibibigay sa 'kin ang Amullure? Bukas? Sa makalawa?"

I gulped. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang isasagot ko. Matagal ko nang hindi natatagpuan ang anak ni Felicity. Kung hindi sana humiwalay sa kaniya ang mansanas na binigay ko, edi natagpuan ko na dapat siya.

Muli akong yumuko sa harap ng reyna, "I apologize, my queen. I am doing my best to find her --"

"Oh, really? Apat kayong naghahanap sa kaniya, at alam mo 'yan. Ikaw pa naman ang gusto kong makakita sa kaniya. You know the reward." I saw her smirk. Alam ko ang ibig niyang sabihin.

I faced her with a serious face, but I know that she can still see fear within me, "I swear, my queen, that I will be the one to bring the Amullure to you."

"Well, I hope so. Kung hindi mo naman magagawa, ayos lang. Buhay naman ang kapalit." after hearing those words, she had turned her back on me.

I went out of the throne room and thought on how I am going to find her.

"Ate Wicca, why did the queen call you?" Rina asked as I pass on the castle drawbridge.

Isa sa pinagpapasalamatan ko ay laging naririto si Rina para sa 'kin. She is the daughter of Rio, one of my closest friend. Unfortunately, he died in the last war of Heolegein.

I sighed, "Well, she is still asking for update kung nakita na ba ang Amullure."

"Gano'n ba?" nakita ko namang napakamot siya sa ulo niya, "I am sorry kung nakawala pa 'yong babae. Kung wala sana si Aquila do'n, natulungan na kita dapat!"

Napapikit siya sa inis. She cannot accept the fact that she could never beat Aquila.

"Why don't you just surrender on finding the Amullure? I'm sure, lagi naman kayong palpak, eh." bigla namang napanting ang tenga ko sa narinig ko.

Ningitian ko 'yong nagsalita, "Why, Lamia? Have you gain any progress? Hindi kami tulad mo na wala pang nagagawa."

"Sa ngayon, wala pa. Pero sisiguraduhin ko na sa isang beses lang namin na pagkikita, ako na agad ang mananalo." she said with a devilish smile.

Gigil akong napatingin sa kaniya. "Confodere!"

"Clipeum!" I tried to cast a spell to her pero agad naman niya itong nadepensahan, "Why, Wicca? Are you trying to kill me?"

"If I could, why not?"

"Oh, come on! We're confederates. We are in the same kingdom. And someday, Gehenna will be the most powerful."

Heolegein was once a peaceful world. Each kingdom of this world is ruled by different kings and queens.

And I am being controlled by the Queen of Gehenna.

╰Blisse's POV╮

A few months have passed since my first day of school. Nothing special really happened.

Today is Saturday, and I can do what I want today.

"Blisse, may pupuntahan muna kami ng Lolo mo, ah. We will just visit our sick friend." paalam ni Lola sa akin.
