Journey 21: To Timberland

╰Blisse's POV╮

I was watching Evan as he walked in the middle of the arena. Today is the last Crescerian subject for this school year. Kalahati na ng Grade 11 Faran Class ang napasabak sa battle. Isa na ro'n si Dizer, na nanalo naman. Next week naman magtatapos ang second semester, at mukhang magkakaroon pa ata ng recognition program.

Napag-alaman ko rin na hindi pwedeng maging battlers ang mga anghel. Kung nagtataka kayo kung bakit naroon si Evan, mas nagtaka rin ako. Ngayon ko lang din nalaman ang dahilan. If I were in the asce's world, I will call this a promotion. I also found out about Evan's real name.

"Evangelino Fleon," a man who was floating slightly above the ground spoke, "you are considered suitable for the high level of your peers, and indicate your willingness to accept this honor from our hands."

He's Sir Uriel, one of the seraphs, who is an angel of the highest rank. He was holding a necklace that has a sky blue feather lavaliere.

"Accept this lavaliere, symbolizing the purity of your honor, the sign of the Celestial Hierarchy, and your wisdom and station." isinuot ni Sir Uriel kay Evan ang kuwintas, "You are now officially one of the Thrones!"

Evan bowed down as he received a round of applause from us. Promoted na si Evan, samantalang ako wala pa ring progress. Hindi rin naman kataka-taka 'yon. Baguhan lang din naman kasi ako sa Heolegein, eh.

"Congrats, Evangelino!" bati ko sa kaniya nang makabalik siya sa puwesto niya na nasa tabi ko. He seemed to be shocked when I called him by his real name.

He smiled. Ang gwapo talaga ng ngiti niya, "Thanks."

Umuwi na kami nang matapos ang seremonya. Weekly routine na namin nina Samael at Philip na kumain sa diner after Crescerian subject. Magkakasabay na rin kaming pumasok at umuwi galing PMA. Iisang sasakyan lang ang gamit naming tatlo. Kung papunta kami ng PMA, si Philip ang magda-drive. Kung pauwi naman ay si Samael. Ako naman ay mag-isang nakaupo sa backseat. No hassle.

Nagpaalam kami sa isa't isa nang makarating kami sa condo. Nang maisara ko ang pinto ng unit ko, agad akong kumuha ng papel sa bag ko at kinuha rin ang cellphone ko. The paper that we got in God's Angels was under Danielle's care.

I copied what was written on the paper even if it wasn't complete.

Pero ang pinaka nakuha ng atensiyon ko ay ang salitang Amullure na nakasulat.

Naalala ko tuloy 'yong pinag-usapan namin nang makaalis kami sa God's Angels.

"A prophecy was written." Danielle muttered, "The other parts of the paper are missing."

"Prophecy?" pag-uulit ko, "Pa'no mo naman nalaman na prophecy 'yan?"

"Sinong may posporo or lighter sa inyo?"

"Meron ako. Eto, oh." Mark handed the lighter to Danielle.

Sinindihan ni Danielle ang lighter at itinapat niya ang papel sa apoy. Nagulat na lamang ako nang hindi masunog ang papel.

"This is really a prophecy!" seryoso kaming tiningnan ni Danielle, "This paper was made from papyrus. No matter how many times you tear this paper, there's no fire that can burn this kind of papyrus."
