Gloom of Luminescence

Chapter 48

Aside from being shocked, everyone was quite relieved at the sight of the goddess. They never expected her to show up at the scene but then she did. 

"Ako na ang bahala kay Aira. Pagtuunan niyo ng pansin si Janus." saad ng diyosa at agad namang sinang-ayunan ng mga ito.

They prepared themselves to engage for battle. They still have no idea about what could possibly happen. The only hope they had already crumbled down into dusts.

The goddess immediately turned to the princess who is now back to attacking anyone around her. Hawak nito ang kaniyang espada at sa isang mabilis na galaw ay nakatarak na ang espada nito sa kaharap na summoner at sa parehong bilis ay nahugot niya iyon at akmang itutok sa lalaking nasa harap nito na may kaharap na summoner. Mabilis na tinungo ang direksiyon nito ng diyos at eksperto nitong sinipa ang nakaambang espada  sa hawakan nito dahilan upang maihawi noon ang espada palayo ngunit nanatiling nasa kamay iyon ni Aira habang blanko ang tingin.

Samantalang nanlalaki naman ang mata ng lalaking sanay tatamaan ng atake.

"Shit. That was an almost." saad ni Welton bago bumaling sa diyosa na siyang humaharang sa unahan nito.  Hindi na ito nakapagsalita pa nang maramdaman niyang may humila sa sa kaniyang kwelyo sa likod at pilit na hinila paalis doon.

"Wag ka kasing pakalat-kalat." saad ng pinsan nitong si Zayn at saka pabalang itong binatawan nanag makalayo sila dahilan upang halos magkanda dapa dapa ito. Napasimangot nalamang ito at muling tumulong sa pakikipaglaban at ingat na ingat ito upang hindi mapalayo sa puwesto at hindi magawi sa kung nasaan ang diyosa at ang prinsesa at maging sa direksiyon ng isa pang prinsesa na ngayon ay kontrolado ng isang demonyo ang katawan.

The place looked so chaotic with all the action happening everywhere. There are unconscious bodies lying on the ground. Injured people trying to be tended by the healers.

Thalia was skilled enough to seize Aira before she clasped her face with both of her hands and made her look at her eyes to eyes. 

Aira's consciousness had fled her body as her raging powers takes over. Thalia had to pull her back to her senses. Her eyes glowed when it met Aira's eyes and she had to enter the princess' mind. She looked for Aira until she finally found the thin line of connection that is bound to Haria's dimension. Thalia successfully invaded the dimension and there she found Aira and Haria.

Their eyes met and their emotions started to visibly creep in them. Thalia's face darkened at the sight of the other goddess but she tried her best to keep her cool. 

"It's been a long time, Haria." malamig ang pagkakasaad noon ni Thalia at mabiilis na napalitan ng blankong ekspresyon ang emosyong kaninay gumuhit sa kaniyang mata.

Aira heard the familiar voice. So she turned at the goddess, her eyes widened when she saw Thalia. Her eyes were puffy and her nose were red. Halatang galing ito sa pag-iyak. Nais na nitong puntahan ang diyosa upang magtanong at humingi ng tulong. She started getting confused. Nagpabalik balik ang kaniyang paningin sa dalawang babaeng napapagitnaan siya ngayon. 

"Thalia!" the princess' exclaimed but the goddess' attention is already at the other goddess. Tila limot na nito ang sadya kung bakit ito nagpunta sa dimensiyong iyon.

Haria froze while she's staring at the goddess who invaded her dimension. Her hands started to tremble. It's been thousands of years but the past was still vivid and it remained alive in her head. 

"Are you enjoying your life now? You became a goddess. Natakbuhan mo lahat ng kasalanang ginawa sa paggawa ng isa pang kasalanan. Nais ko lang malaman kung ang pagnanakaw mo sa pangalang hawak mo ngayon," bumuga ito ng hangin, "Diyosa ng Enchantra. You've been holding yourself too high with a title you never own, don't you think?" bakas ang sarkasmo sa bawat salitang pinupukol nito. Napatiim-bagang na lamang ang diyosang at pilit na tinanggap ang mga matatalim na salitang binabato sa kaniya.
