Celestial Academy: Silver Eyed

Chapter 41

Hello! Guys sorry talagaaaaaa huhuhu. Kakauwi ko lang kasi nung friday at sobrang stressed at pagod na pagod talaga ako. Ang hirap kayang mag transfer ng school at bahay narin mismo sa ibang city(malayo sa'min) At ayun, sa sobrang pagod siguro nagkasakit ako hays kaurat.

Anyway, guys ang sabi ko madedelay lang yung update. Hindi ko rin naman kasi expected na magiging busy ako this summer. Wala po akong sinabing hindi ko na 'to itutuloy okay? Kalma lang po tayo hahahahahaha!

Nagsimula na kaming maglakad palabas at hindi ko naman ineexpect na isang forest nanaman ang bubungad sa'min. Ang pinagkaiba lang, ay hindi ito tulad nung first destination namin na sobrang dilim. It's actually the complete opposite of it. The sun was up, but the temperature is not that hot. There were different varieties of plants and trees and all of it were almost glowing. The green leaves were really prominent and the air was too pure and refreshing.

The entire place almost looked so serene and peaceful. But I thought otherwise. I don't know, but something was tugging inside me, telling myself that this place is not as peaceful as it seems. Napakunot noo naman ako, is it just me? or my sensing abilities became sharper and sensitive? I shook my head, jeez I really need to consult the headmaster when we get back.

We continued walking while scanning the surroundings, trying to find edible fruits and water bodies to drink on to. Patuloy lang kami sa paglalakad ng biglang natumba si Jessica. Instincts quickly took over me and ran to her side to catch and assist her. 

"Okay ka lang?" I asked. Thalia and Clarisse too ran to our side with a look of concern on their faces.

Tumango naman siya. "A-Ah oo naman, hindi ko lang napansin yung bato na nakaharang sa dinadaan ko." I looked at her seriously and I noticed that she's pale and her breathing were deep yet short. Tinaasan ko naman siya ng kilay.

"Kanina ka pa nahihirapan at hindi mo man lang sinabi sa'min?" I almost yelled.

Umiling naman siya at magsasalita pa sana ng pinigilan ko na siya. "Silver." I whispered. A dog, it's size, a bit bigger than a horse immediately materialized out of thin air. Agad ko naman siyang pinasakay kay silver para makapagpahinga siya habang naghahanap kami ng pagkain at tubig.

Jessica looked at me in uncertainty, "Athena, wag mo ng itago. Don't act as if you're too strong and tough because I know you're tired as well. We fought the scorpion giving our all just to defeat it. My magical energy were almost depleted and I know, yours as well." She had a hard time talking and maintaining her eyes open because of exhaustion. But despite it, she still showed me how worried she is. I almost looked away.

Hindi ako nagpapanggap Jessica, dahil hindi talaga ako pagod. At hindi ko alam kung bakit.

Alam kong maguguluhan lang siya kung sasabihin ko pa 'to sa kaniya that's why I decided against it. I gave her a reassuring smile. "Don't worry about me Jessica because I'm fine, really. Worry about yourself first." I pat her head, "You're already on the verge of passing out, now sleep and stop worrying about us." Her eyes were still full with concern until it started to gradually close then the next thing I knew, she's already sleeping.
