Magian Academia: the Sorceress of the Stars

Chapter 52: Stronger

Sienna Astra's Point Of View

"Sienna...." napalingon ako sa nagsalita. There, I saw a goddess. Literally a goddess. Her eyes were a little bit similar to mine. She has an ombre gray-blue hair. She was wearing a white-blue ombre dress that glows, as if she was covered with stars. She, herself, signifies the universe. Just looking at the stunning color of her dress and hair, glowing eyes, and a calming yet strong aura, you'll already think that she's someone you should never mess with.

Without hesitation, I kneeled down and bowed my head. I shouldn't be looking at her straight in the eye. She's a goddess after all.

"Milady, greetings." I said, still bowing my head. Before she could even say something, I asked her a polite question. "Milady, not that I'm being rude, but may I ask why I'm here? This is a sacred place exclusive for a lady like you."

Tumingin ako sa kanya habang nakaluhod. She gave a sweet smile and motioned me to get up, so I did.

"As a star sorceress, you already know what is about to come," She started. I courteously nodded to her, "And you are here to unleash all your hidden power as my chosen disciple."

Nagsimula syang maglakad papunta sa parang pabilog na stage. Napansin ko ding may siyam na poste sa paligid nito. May mga pabilog na iba't ibang kulay at simbolo.

The nine sacred stars.

Sumunod ako sa kanya habang manghang-mangha sa paligid. Bawat madadaanan naming mga bulaklak na hugis bituin, ay yumuyuko. Parang kahit na anong may buhay dito ay malaki ang paggalang sa dyosang kasama ko. May nakita din akong lumulutang na mga maliliit na bilog at iba't iba din ang mga kulay nito. Nung madaanan sila ng ilaw galing sa isang star na nagbibigay ng liwanag sa lugar, must be the sun version of this world, bigla itong sumabog at nagbigay ng makukulay na glitters. Ang iba'y, imbis na glitters ang ipasabog, colorful smoke ang sinasabog ng mga ito. 

This is indeed a paradise. I wouldn't mind having a short vacation in here.

Tumigil si Astraea sa harap ng hagdan paakyat sa stage kaya napatigil din ako.

"I, goddess of purity, familiars and the stars in the universe, is giving you the opportunity to receive the power that a star sorceress is destined to have; Giving you the responsibility that the past three chosen didn't get to finish. And, I'm asking you this, are you ready to hold and willing to take anything that could happen after this ritual?"

I sighed heavily.

This is it.

This is the time na ako naman ang tatapos ng isang malaking bagay, hindi para iligtas ang sarili ko. Kung hindi para iligtas ang mga tao sa paligid ko. Kung nagsakripisyo ang mga magulang ko dahil may alam sila sa nakatatakda kong tadhana, sisiguraduhin kong matatapos ko 'yon. Na magagawa ko 'yon.

"I, Sienna Astra Syre Aveniya Serena, fourth generation of Sorceress of the Stars, is accepting the power you'll give and the upcoming responsibilities that this power will bring."

Astraea smiled at me as she motioned me to go up on the stage. Dahan-dahan naman akong umakyat at naglakad sa gitna. I saw her eyes flickered as the 9 magic circles with signs of each key I possesses and one big golden pentagon appeared all over the stage. I closed my eyes and feel the magic power that was being transferred to me. It was overwhelming. I feel like if I go full power, it'd be 10 times stronger than my normal one. A second later, runes popped up inside my mind. It filled my thoughts, giving me so much wisdom and power. Then, a big flash of light ate my inner vision.
