Gloom of Luminescence

Chapter 10

AIRA

"Let's proceed to the agenda. Pinapunta ko kayo dito para ianunsiyo ang tungkol sa misyon." anunsiyo ni Mama dahilan upang matuon ang atensiyon sa kaniya. The awkward atmosphere from a while ago immediately vanished and turned into a serious one. Hindi ko maiwasang mapakagat labi upang pigilan ang pagsilay ng isang ngiti. I am included in the mission and this is going to be my first.

"I am sending you Caucacus City in Granius. Their chief sent a letter to the kingdom, the Queen forwarded the letter to us. Marami ang nagkalat na dark creatures na minamanduhan ng dark summoners sa lugar. Isang grupo mula sa Granius ang ipinadala doon ngunit wala pang nakabalik." she explained. The others were just silently listening but all of them were wearing an intent look. As if all of them were drowning in their own trail of thoughts but listening at the same time.

Dark summoners are really dangerous and I'm not sure if I m capable and worthy of being included in this mission. I'm still lacking with my beginner's skills and experience. I'm afraid I might ruin the mission. Baka ako pa ang maging pabigat at maging dahilan upang mabulilyaso ang misyon na ito. I'll try my best not to burden them. The lives of the people in that city is at stake. I'm to train harder so I could help saving them.

"You're going there tomorrow. Hinihintay pa nila ang pagbalik ng ipinadala nilang tauhan hanggang bukas kung sakali. If no one comes back then you have to do the mission. Siguraduhin niyong may dadalhin kayong buhay na summoner sa Granius." she added. My chest started pounding fast from both nervousness and worry. The people in that city must have been terrified by being held captive by a group of dark creatures.

"You can go back to your classes now."

We all left the office and some took a separate way but I am still left walking with the others. We took the pathway . It was already pass two so the sun is raised high but the whipping willows keeps us shade.

"May klase pa ba kayo?" tanong ni Maia sa mga lalaking natira. We have the same schedule as Maia and Au kaya alam kong wala na kaming klase ngayon kaya nga kailangan kong dumiretso sa training.

We all stared at each other but no one answered. Maia just shrugged.

"I have history." biglang saad ni Alexis dahilan upang mapatingin kami sa kaniya.

"Aira is having her training with me." saad naman ni Lucy dahilan upang magkatinginan sina Maia at Au.

"We're watching." mabilis na saad ni Au kaya naman napabusangot na lang ako. I'm sure they're just going to keep on pestering me. Papalitan lan nila ang pang-iinis sa akin ni Rhyan.

"Sama." saad naman ni Zayn at inakbayan sina Gray at Nathan. The two just shrugged.

I'm just going to train. What is so interesting with shooting arrows? We continued walking until we were able to arrive at the coliseum and I'm back to my den. The silent coliseum was filled with the echoing of our footsteps and murmurs.

"Remember who destroyed half of the coliseum?" Zayn chimed in a giddy voice. I felt like he was trying to joke around but instead the atmosphere turned cold. Every shoot daggers at Zayn's direction well except for me who is clueless about and the Jay who is looking intently at the wall beside him who is raising both of his hands.

"What?" he said jittery he immediately shielded his hands when Maia raised his fist. Nagsimula nang maghabulan paikot at nang hindi maabutan ni Maia ay gumawa ito ng tila apoy na harang sa dadaanan ng lalaki. When she finally got a hold of him agad niya iyong piningot at hinila palabas ng coliseum habang sinisigawan sa mismong tenga nito.
