A Journey in Gehenna (On-going)

Journey 22: Pot of Gold

Journey 22: Pot of Gold

╰Blisse's POV╮

Before going to the Timberland, I already thought that it was a place of threatening danger. I heard different stories about the forest, where strange things might occur and strange people might live, but I still wanted to go there. Maybe I can find out what Amullure really is, and maybe I can step a little closer to save my family.

Riamie broke the silence, "How are we going to find a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?"

Rainbow? May nabanggit bang rainbow kanina?

Inakbayan siya ni Dizer, "Aba, edi maghanap tayo ng rainbow!"

"I'm sorry." paghingi ko ng paumanhin, "Kung hindi niyo lang sana ako sinamahan, 'di niyo rin poproblemahin ang tungkol sa ginto."

Hinampas ako ni Ria sa balikat, "Ano ka ba, Blisse. Kung wala kami, edi kinagat-kagat ka na no'ng mga nilalang na binanggit ni Dizer kanina. We're friends! Ang magkakaibigan, nagtutulungan. Hindi kami tulad ni Christine 'no, na inaaway-away ka tapos sasabihin niya na friends kayo."

I smiled when I heard Christine's name. Noong moving up ceremony ko siya huling nakita. Ilang months na rin 'yon, "Ria, okay na kami ni Christine. She already apologized to me."

"Aba, dapat lang! Kung alam mo lang na kating-kati akong patulugin siya at bigyan ng bangungot hanggang sa 'di na siya magising no'ng nakita kong sinasaktan ka niya."

"It's okay, Ria. Past na 'yon. Let's go back to the main topic. So, is it necessary to find a rainbow just to give him gold? Hindi ba pwedeng ibang gold na lang? Wala naman siyang nabanggit, eh."

"He's a leprechaun." Evan spoke, "If he wants us to give him gold, he means that we must steal his own gold and deliver it to him."

"What's the point of stealing his gold and give it to him if he already owns it?"

"He's testing us. He's a soothsayer and he cannot just give away information."

I nodded. I already got his point, "So, where can I find a rainbow that has a pot of gold?"

"Whoa Blisse!" Dizer reacted, "You are supposed to say 'Where can we find a rainbow.' 'Wag ka ngang magsolo."

"Hindi niyo naman kailangan na samahan pa 'ko, eh. Task 'to para sa sarili ko."

"Basta Blisse! Sasamahan ka namin sa task mo." Ria said in determination.

Hays. Wala na siguro akong magagawa, "Thank you."

"So, shall we now go home?" Evan suggested, "I guess that we can just find a rainbow tomorrow. Nevertheless, there's no rainbow during nighttime."

Hahakbang na sana sila nang magsalita ako, "Wait. Is it possible to reach the end of a rainbow? Isn't it a kind of an optical illusion and is formed because raindrops act like little prisms?"

"We'll talk about it tomorrow."

I guess I'll postpone going to Gadhya tomorrow.

Kinabukasan, nagising ako sa paulit-ulit na tunog ng doorbell. I walked towards the door to open it. I didn't bother to look at the hologram in front of me. I didn't care if I had this messy hair and was still wearing my pajamas. Basta ko na lang binuksan ang pinto.

"Good morning, Blai!" Philip greeted and stepped inside my unit. Behind him was Samael, "Ang panget mo, Blai!"

I gave them a perplexed look, "What are you doing here?"
