“You won’t regret this decision Lyel.” said Ayanna habang kinakausap ang seryosong si Lyel. Kasalukuyan silang nakasakay sa exclusive airship na pagmamay-ari mismo ng Black Order. Si Ayanna at ang mga kasama nito ay tahimik lamang na nanonood sa buong laban at naghihintay sa ano mang magiging resulta nito because they know na sasama at sasama sa kanila si Lyel ano man ang mangyari. Subalit bakas pa dn sa itsura ni Lyel ang pagkagulat sa ginawang pagpatay kay Aerynn.
“Just make sure that I’ll get what I want in joining this organization. I sacrificed everything…”
Ayanna weakly smiled then saka ito nagsalita. “We all made huge sacrifices just to prove our loyalty in the Order. And what you did is just a small sacrifice compare to those higher ranking officials in the Order.”
Lyel gave a questioning look to Ayanna. “What do you mean by that?”
She sighs. “When we get there, you will see my point. Those people who want power will do everything just to get it. We are ambitious, that’s correct but it’s all for one purpose.”
“What purpose?”
“You will be enlightened once we get there. The higher ups will explain to you what the real purpose of the Order is.” Said Mia habang nakangiti pa itong dumadaan sa gitna nilang dalawa ni Ayanna. Kasunod nito si Rain.
“How about you guys? What did you sacrifice?”
Rain smiled then while continue walking ay nagsalita ito. “You have no idea…”
Nang makadaan na ang dalawa ay saka nagsalita si Ayanna. “Mia and Rain are criminals. They are one of the most wanted young criminals in their country. But by the time those two are in prison… they were converted by being good. They became good fairies inside. 10 years in prison, that’s the life they wasted. That’s why the government reviewed their cases again at nabigyan ng pagkakataon na makalaya. But on the day they are going to be named as a free citizen on their country… the Order approached them.
Place:
“W..who are y..you?” asked Mia while her knees are trembling with fear. This is the first time in her life na natakot sya ng ganoon. She feels great amount of magic circulating in this fairy. She can’t determine if this fairy is ‘he’ or a ‘she’ because of the black hooded cloak with a dragon insignia at the back of this fairy.
“Mia… listen very carefully. You are chosen to be one of the members of the Black Order.”
Kumunot ang noo ni Mia. Even the voice is neutral. She can’t determine kung pambabae o panlalaki ba ng boses na yon. “Black Order? What is that?”
“It’s an organization formed to protect this beloved world. It is the one destined to change this world, A world where everything has a right to acquire great amount of magic while exploring the wonderment of modernization.”
“Great amount of magic? And wait… you said to protect this beloved world. Why? Is it in danger?”
“Soon… everything in this world will become powerless…”
“How did you know about that? At teka paano ka nakapasok dito? This is a high security prison. No one just walks in and out here. Who are you?”
“I see curiosity in your eyes.” anito habang kita ni Mia na nakangiti ito dahil lips lamang ang tanging kita dito. Then pagkasabi noon ay agad nagunlock ang selda nya. napakurap siya sa nasaksihan, ang lock sa lahat ng selda doon ay hindi isang ordinaryong lock. It needs a very specific finger print of an official to open the lock and any amount of magical power is useless in opening it. Kaya naman imposibleng makatakas ng ganoon ang mga bilanggo doon. Pero nagawa nitong buksan iyon ng ganoon lamang. “The choice is yours Mia. If you walk out here you will see the true purpose of the Order. You will enjoy life as it is and great amount of magical power awaits you. But if you choose to stay here and wait for you to be a free citizen of this world… you’ll miss the chance of creating a difference. When you get out of here… no one is waiting for you outside. Not even your families. They abandon you remember? But if you come with us… everyone in the Order will embrace you no matter who you are.”
