Elodie: Goddess of All (Available on Dreame)

𝓕𝓲𝓯𝓽𝔂-𝓣𝓱𝓻𝓮𝓮

The day went well, I guess? I've been the talk of the school for Pete's sake, what's up with those people? They're seriously pissing me off!

"Looks like you're about to smash someone, El," Aly said as she sat beside me. Am I that obvious? That only means I'm irritated for real.

"Can those students stop talking about me? As if that would help," I said, rolling my eyes heavenwards.

Aly chuckl and handed me a fresh milk. "Well, your identity is really a big deal."

I sighed at ininom ang gatas. "I know." I simply answered.

"Everyone knows about you now and sure thing, they'll be expecting more from you," she said that made me stop for a while.

She's right. Now my responsibility became heavier, it's like I'm carrying everyone around me. Kaasar pero this is my duty after all.

"Aly. May I ask you about those days you were captured?" I asked. I just need something to use against that bastard.

"Sure. Ano 'yon?"

"May napansin ka bang kakaiba sa kanya, I mean, his weakness?" I asked. She placed her index finger on her chin, she's trying to remember something.

"Wala naman. That asshole is very careful," she replied, but she looked at me with eyes widened. "My gosh! I remembered it! He's actually strong... but he's also weak. Kapag nag-iisa siya ay hindi siya gaanong kalakas tignan."

I'm confused. O- wait! That means?

"You're right, El. Almost half of his strength comes from his comrades," she confirmed my speculation. I'm sure na naubos ko na ang mga tauhan niya, and he has nothing left but himself!

"That means, we're on the advantage," I said, nodding my head.

"We are. There's a big chance na mananalo ka against him. You're the goddess of all, after all," she said and smiled widely.

"Still, I can't afford to let my guards down. I will make sure na hindi na siya makakaligtas saakin," I said and stood up.

Nagpaalam na ako kay Aly na umakyat. Kaya pala hindi siya umatake saakin noong isang madaling araw. He's alone that time, there's no source of power.

The aura of each Rombus is his strength. The more they surround him, the stronger he gets. Sad to say, I already exploded them all.

I need to calculate every move. Isang pagkakamali lang ay masisira ang lahat.

"You seem to be thinking deeply," Clark said as soon as I enter my room. I'm not surprised that he's here, sanay na ako sa isang 'to.

"It's nothing, just a little worried," I answered. That's half true, though.

I'm not worried for myself, nag-aalala ako para sa buong Enchanted. The peace is in my hands.

"Don't pressure yourself to much, baby. I'm here," he said and pulled me into a tight hug.

Clark and his actions never failed to calm me. Whenever I'm with him, it feels like I am always safe and guarded. Pero I can't risk him when the time comes. I just can't risk anyone.

"Clark." I called. He move a little so he can give a space between us, but he's still hugging me.

"Yes?" He gave me a smile. I can't help but to stare in his eyes. Those beautiful orbs na humihila saakin, how can this man be so perfect?

"I love you," I said and gave him my genuine smile. His eyes widened and his lips parted in shock.

"Damn, baby. I should be the first one to say that!"He hissed at bumusangot, pero maya-maya rin ay lumiwanag ang mukha nito. "I love you more than anything else in this world." He said that made my heart race.

He cupped my face and went closer, closing the gap between us. Pumikit ako nang maramdaman ang mga labi niya saakin, he's kissing me with full of love. It's gentle.

I snaked my arms around his neck and deepen the kiss. Hindi ko namalayang tumutulo na pala ang mga luha ko.

Humiwalay na kami pero nakalapat pa rin ang noo nito sa noo ko. He wiped my tears gently using his thumb. "Why are you crying?"

"I just feel lucky to have you."

"And I am more than lucky to have you, baby," he said. He kissed my forehead and he hugged me tightly, again.

---------------

Nagising ako nang madaling araw. Nakatulog pala talaga ako. We were just talking the whole time hanggang sa makatulog ako.

I looked at Clark who's sleeping beside me. I examined his perfect face, para bang sinasaulo ko ang bawat detalye nito. I traced his face using my fingers.

What a perfect man, I am lucky. Lumapit ako rito at hinalikan ang noo nito, papunta sa ilong at labi nito. Another tear fell from my eyes.

Agad kong pinahid 'yon at tumayo na. Pumasok ako sa walk-in closet ko at nagpalit ng combat suit. I grab the white cloak at isinuot 'yon.

Muli akong lumabas. Tumayo ako sa gilid ni Clark.

I'm not sure if I'm still going to see you after this, Clark. I can't really guarantee to win over him, but I will do my best to come back to you. Pero kapag hindi 'yon nangyari, don't wait for me, baby. Find someone who can make you happy, someone who will never leave you just like what I am about to do. You are my comrade but I can't risk you, I can't afford to see you getting hurt. I have the power and I will use it to protect you, all of you.

I remembered the war before, I sacrificed myself for all the people, it feels great, though, it gave me a relieve, but now it feels different. I am hesitating, I want to stay with you, but I can't do that because I might lose you and everyone else. Thank you for making me feel loved, baby. You are my first love and will forever be my love.

Maybe, just maybe, fate will guarantee us another life to share the love for each other. But if it doesn't, please find someone, make yourself happy. Don't caged yourself, don't make yourself suffer.

I love you so much, Clark. Even if I die a thousand times, and even if I reincarnated a thousand times, I would still choose you. My euphoria, my everything have a great life with or without me by your side.

Goodbye, my love.

Pinahid ko ang mga luhang nag-uunahang tumulo sa mga mata ko. I'm sure you'll hate me for this, but I hope you'll understand my reasons.

Hindi ito ang oras ko para pairalin ang mga emosyon, I need to be strong for my loved ones. I need to be strong for them.

Using my magic, I teleported papunta sa gate ng Academy. I can't fight him here, ayaw kong may madamay. It's now between him and me, nothing more.

I hardened my expression at lumabas ng Academy.

It's now or never. For Enchanted, for my friends, and for my love, I will fight until my last breath.
