Phoenix Academy

Chapter 21

"The full phoenixes were after the demon-angel, wanting to reborn again," sagot ni Ma. Full phoenix? Ano 'yon?

"Ang mga full phoenixes ay nakakapag-anyong tao at phoenix. Makapangyarihan sila, at ang lumika ng full phoenix na ito ay sina Lucifer at Sinclair. It was when you had intervene with Lucifer's creation, iyong pangyayari na pinakialaman mo si Lucifer at binagyan mo ng kamatayan ang phoenix."

Napasinghap ako. Naaalala ko ang memoryang iyon sa utak ko nang malinaw. It was the first time na nakaalala ako mula sa aking nakaraan. Iyon ang unang pangyayaring naalala ko mula kay Sinclair.

"Phoenicia, she was the first phoenix. Since siya ang ginawa niyo ni Lucifer, some would say anak niyo siya," nanlaki ang mata ko sa realisasyon. Ako ang gumawa kay Phoenicia? The hero? The creator?

Naglabas ng buntong-hininga si Da. "She was the one who tried to possess you when you were a child, at nasisiguro kong siya rin ang nagnakaw ng katawan mo ngayon. She's the most powerful phoenix after all."

"Hindi rin totoo na siya ang gumawa sa lahat. We were born from chaos, created by chaos, the vast empty space. Although some would argue that there are more heavenly beings watching us from chaos. Ang unang umiral sa mundong ito ay sina Lucifer, Red, Seraphin, Alpha and of course Sinclair, the first woman, the demon. Matagal na panahon ay nagawa si Phoenicia, the second woman, the phoenix," pagpapaliwanag ni Pa

Nanliit ang mga mata nang marinig ang iba pang mga pangalang 'di ako pamilyar. Serpahin and Alpha.

"Lahat tayo ay narereincarnate, maaaring bilang flower, hayop o kung ano man. But Phoenicia and all other full phoenixes can only be reborn sa mga demon-angels," dagdag naman ni Ma. "We have the power to reincarnate, if the land of souls would allow us. Your role as the creators and primordial beings in this world has allowed your reincarnations, and it can be in any form. However, this was forbidden to Phoenixes."

"Pinagbawal din ang pagmamahalan ng isang demonyo at anghel. Katulad ni Lucifer," she stopped when father intervened.

"Alam mo na ba ang nakaraan mo, Eris?" Wika niya't umiling ako. Hindi ko naaalala lahat.

"The cause of Lucifer's fall... was his love for you. Walang kinalaman si Sinclair sa pagiging demonyo ni Lucifer. He was smitten, he was addicted yet innocent. Hindi niya alam kung anong maaring madala ng pag-ibig niya. Then, Red helped him. They created Lucifuge to prevent him from being completely a demon. Ngunit hindi nila alam na doon magsisimulang lumaki ang numero ng mga demonyo. The myths were true, Lucifer somehow created the demons. He was also the one who created you, Sinclair. Hindi ka mabubuhay kung hindi ka niya binigyan ng kaluluwa."

Love? 'Yon ba ang dahilan kung bakit ako naging interesado sa kanya agad nang una siyang makita? Perhaps, Levi and I loved each other in our past life, but I could also be wrong.

My father let out a small chuckle. "Kung tutuusin, Lucifer almost created everything. Lucifer is the creator, not Phoenicia. On the other hand, Red is the hero, and again not Phoenicia."

"Paano naging hero si Red?" Mas lalo akong naging interesado.

"Phoenicia was strong. She was mated to Alpha, ngunit hindi niya ito gusto, nagagawa niyang matanggal ang link dahil mas malakas siya kay Alpha. Phoenicia was infatuated to Red. They were close, but to Red, she was but a younger sister. Red was in love with someone else," sagot ni Pa.

"At doon nagsimula ang away. Alpha was mad at Red, for being the one she liked. Phoenicia was mad at Sinclair, for being the one Red liked," nanlaki ang mata ko. My fyglja have liked me before? Hindi kaya iyon ang dahilan kung bakit namin naging fylgja ang isa't isa?
