She's The Cursed Goddess (Self-Published)

X: Queen of the Sea

Sabrina's Point of View

We are now in front of this massive golden door, standing and waiting to let us in. This place was located at the very top of the palace. And I had the feeling that beyond this massive golden door is sacred. No one is allowed to enter without prior permission of the superiors.

Nawala ako sa aking iniisip nang biglang tumibok nang mabilis ang aking puso. I am nervous. This feeling, I hate it. I admit, kanina ko pa naramdaman ang pananabik ng ibang baguhang estudyanteng kagaya ko. Habang ako naman as usual kinakabahan, pero excited din naman at the same time.

Napatingin naman ako sa taong nagdantay ng kamay niya sa balikat ko. Sumalubong sa akin ang matatamis na ngiti ni Joshua. I smiled back. Somehow, seeing his smile gives me the courage to stay calm. The way he looked at me, it's as if his eyes telling me that everything will going to be fine.

"Thanks," I mouthed.

He just nodded and smiled for the second time. Nang ilayo niya ang kamay niya sa balikat ko ay siyang pagbukas naman ng malaking pintuan. My eyes grew twice wider and my mouth dropped open.

The room is enormous. The ceilings were tall. There are also big golden chandeliers. The room could occupy more than fifty rooms if divided. Bumaba ako ng tingin. May tatlong mahahabang lamesa.

Those tables were filled with different kind of foods. And both sides of the tables were occupied by the students of the academy. Sobrang ganda ng mga uniforms nila. Para sa mga babae naman ay nakasuot ng medyas na hanggang tuhod.

Sa lower part naman ay dark blue rin na skirt. Sa ilalim ng kulay dark blue blazer ay long sleeve white polo-shirt. Mayroon din itong black necktie na may puting thin stripes. Sa harapan ng blazer sa mga babae ay naka-cut siya into reverse letter V.

Isang butones lang, saka may dalawang butones pa sa magkabila bilang desinyo. Sa kaliwang banda ng uniform, may maliit na bulsa. Sa harapan ng bulsa, nakalagay doon ang logo ng academy. The logo design was like a fork, but it's golden.

May mga other designs pa sa mga uniform nila. Pero magkaiba na sa bawat lamesa. From the right side, they were wearing green capes that reached down to their waists. Sa kanang banda sa blazer nila ay may nakalagay doon na pin. The pins' designed were combined capital letter of C and M.

Sa center naman ng room, which is nandoon nakaupo 'yong babaeng may kulay ocean blue na mga mata. At 'yong babaeng nagtanong sa akin kung sino ako kahapon. They were wearing golden capes. Sa kanang banda ng blazer ay nakasuot sila ng tatlong aiguilette.

From the left side, they were wearing red capes. Sa kanang banda ng blazer ay nakasuot sila ng pins. The designed were both combined capital letter of M.

Para naman sa mga uniform ng lalaki ay nakasuot sila ng dark blue slacks, and blazer. Inner naman ay kulay puting long sleeve polo-shirt. Their blazers were open kaya kitang-kita kung paano naka-tuck-in ang polo nila. Just like the girls, they were wearing black neckties with thin white stripes.

Katulad din sa mga babae nakasuot sila ng designated color of their capes, saka pins. Naiiba lang ang nasa center table. Sa center table ay kaunti lang silang nakaupo roon. I wonder what those designated color of the capes and the rest of the details of the uniforms represent.

Nawala ako sa atensyon ko sa mga uniporme nang makita ko ang mga naglalakihang mga estatuwa. Few inches away from the tables, there are different colossal statue. They are really enormous. Mapapatingala ka pa dahil sa sobrang laki ng mga ito. I gasped when I remembered their faces. They are the Greeks who are in the paintings at the director's office.

"Please follow me." Nabaling ang aking atensyon sa taong biglang nagsalita. At doon ko nakita ang seryosong mukha ng babaeng nagtanong sa akin kung sino ako kahapon.
