Memoir

"No!" Flame shouted. The animals started crawling on my skin and sips my blood. It is not just my tears that are special but also my blood. The two things that my blood contains are healing and poison. I smile when my planned worked. His subjects started coming to me and they are being burned alive by the dragons and the souls are being freed. While doing those I felt something forming beside me, it was deafening air.

Ang mga hayop na sumipsip nang aking dugo ay ngayo'y umiiyak. Ang bawat patak nang kanilang luha ay dugo at kapag natapos na silang umiyak ay maari na silang mamatay. Isa iyon sa mga lamang ko kay Black Lord dahil ipinakita na niya sa akin ang daan patungo sa diyos.

It was the moment when I meet Flame's parents I already knew where I was and I'm glad that they're in good place.

"Miss me?"

I grinned.

"Did you not receive the heavens will?"

"Not yet..."

"Why not?" Kuryosong tanong ko sa kaniya. Hinarap ako ni Grayeh. "Dahil ikaw ang parusa ko. Please punish me with this blade, orders from above." Nasa kaniyang kamay ay isang matulis na punyal.

I laugh. "Don't fool me, Grayeh. You are just a soul."

"You cannot be tricked anymore." Grayeh smiled. "I'm here to help you to punish the Black Lord. This is my last mission before I ascend to Afterlife."

Tumango ako. "Tell me, papaano ko siya mapapatay?"

"The jar contains all the souls Madam Z collected through Black Lord's enchantment. Freeing those are the sole reason to kill Blacuro Lordian completely."

Nagtaka ako sa kaniyang sinabi. "Paano siya mamatay kung hindi ako ang gagawa niyon? Those are souls. They will be free in no time." Sagot ko.

"Your opponent is me. I order all the hit when I am alive. Blacuro Lordian physical well being are completely destroyed when you are born."

Mas lalo akong nalito sa sinabi niya. "Then who I am fighting now?"

Grayeh smiles. "The last memory of his existence."

"A mere memory!?"

Tumango siya. "Then, it was you all along..." All I can say. Napatingin ako sa kay Flame na aabala sa pakikipaglaban sa mga elementong nagmumula sa punong kahoy. Wala pa ring malay si Madam Z sa kabila nang nangyayari.

"I was possessed by his memoir together with my obsession with power. I am the possible target of his revenge but the truth is he was dead all these years. You are fighting for nothing. Those souls are the last resort of his resentment. When he gathered those souls with my body, he thinks the world are his and as if he succeed however he is just being delusional."

Alerto akong lumingon sa mga kasamahan ko at nang makita kong may papalapit na higanting elemento kay Flame ay mabilis ko iyon pinalayo sa kaniya gamit ang bahagharing panyo. Nagpagulong-gulong ang higante hanggang sa nahulog ito sa karagatan na siya namang nilamun nang mga sea dragon.

"All this time..." I hissed in anger. "Everyone stop!"

"What? Why? Those creatures are getting away!" Liam said, hinihingal ito at tagatak ang pawis. Nasa gilid niya ang naka-upong Yel, patuloy pa rin ang pag-re-release nito nang enchantments.

"There is no fight that shall be fought. We're being tricked. There's no enemy." I said. Their eyes are telling me that they're confuse, bewildered, disappointed and betrayed.

"Ano'ng ibig mong sabihin? I saw him, there! That bastard is sipping your aunt's soul!" Flame thundered. He looks so red and mad.

"Yelien, what can you say about this?" Seryosong tanong ni Liam. Lumingon si Yel, umiiyak.
