Chapter 23: Declaration of the Next War

[XHEILA ZHATRIYA CASTIN]

Nagpahanda kami ng munting salo-salo para sa apat na haring bisita namin. Mabuti na lamang at mabilis kumilos ang mga tagapagsilbi ng palasyo kung kaya't makakakain din kami kaagad. Kasama namin sa table ang apat na knights na himalang napaka-behave ngayon. Siguro dahil nandito ang apat na haring nagsugo sakanila rito sa Wizardouz Kingdom. Kasama namin si Sync, Ken, Jerr, Suho, Collette at Raima. We can't deny the fact that our kingdom is still wealthy beacause of the food infront of us. Masasabing engrande dahil na rin sa tulong ng mga mahika ng iba't-ibang wizards dito sa palasyo.

"Let's eat." I said. Tumango ang apat na hari ang nagsimula na kaming kumain. The royal table right now is screaming for authority. Napakabigatin ng mga nagsasalu-salo ngayon at hindi biro ang mga taong 'to. Maraming mga taga-silbi ang palasyo na nakabantay ngayon sa'min. This lunch would be more enthusiastic if my mother could attend.

"Hindi na namin patatagalin pa ang pakay namin dito Princess Zhatriya. We just wanted to check your kingdom dahil nabalitaan namin ang nangyaring pagsalakay. But more than that, we would like to invite all the royal bloods in your kingdom to attend the Royale Night next week that we, the kings, have personally organized." Mahabang litanya ni King David.

"As the Highest Princess of the Highest ranked kingdom in Haumea, you need to take the part of your mother. Since she couldn't make it this year, you need to participate in order to make connections. Iba't-ibang royal bloods ang pupunta, and you need help from them." Dugtong naman ni King Solomon.

"But your help is already enough for us." Maikling sagot ko. With the power of their kingdoms, I know we can already make it. Right?

"You surely doesn't know what's happening in our world, Zhatriya?" Kumunot ang noo ni King Nadab sa'kin na siya namang ipinagtaka ko. What's happening?

"Our kingdom doesn't have enough powers to reach and discover everything yet. But we're working on it for already two long weeks." I said. Napailing na lamang si King Elah. Bigla akong ginapangan ng kaba.

"Everyone witnessed the prophecy happened 4 years ago. You and the prince of darkness, Zhairo should have been married Zhatriya. That's the prophecy that Zeus has made. But it was a great chaos back then, it turned out that you killed all of them. And your twin, it was her fate to die because rules are rules. No twin can live at the same time, at the same place in this planet." King David said. Mas naguluhan ako. Bakit nila ibinabalik ang nangyaring war noon? Don't tell me, there was a connection on what's happening today?

"What do you mean King David? Bakit naibabalik ang nangyaring pangatlong war?" Napatanong na rin si Sync dahil maski siya ang nagtataka sa pinagsasabi ng apat na hari. Nakikinig lamang ang iba pang nasa table, napatigil sila sa pagkain dahil nakaramdam na rin sila ng kaba gaya ko.

"Aren't you wondering Royal Wizard? Why does the war lasted for 3 generations?" King Solomon asked. Tila nanghihina ang sa mga naririnig ko. Ayoko ng ganitong usapan dahil bumabalik sa'kin ang mga nangyari noon. Mula sa pagkamatay ng kakambal kong si Zhiya... sa muntikang pagkamatay ni Sync... ayoko nang maulit ang lahat ng yun dahil takot na takot ako.

"Because... the first ones who tried to kill the dark forcess didn't succeed..." hindi siguradong sagot ni Sync. Pahina na ng pahina ang boses ni Sync habang unti-unting lumilingon sa'kin mula sa kabilang dulo ng hapag.

"Originally, god Zeus wanted the light to defeat darkness by killing them. But then when the 3rd war came, it turned out that Zeus wanted the Light and Dark forces to be united to stop the barrier between them. And it happened that Princess Zhatriya and Prince Zhairo should be the King and Queens of Haumea." Pinagmamasdan ko lamang ang reaksyon ng taong mahal ko habang pinakikinggan niya ang sinasabi ni King David. I knew he was hurting. Isa siya sa pinakamagaling na wizard sa kingdom na 'to and I know his heart for this world. Isa sa mga may responsibilidad sa mundong 'to... and I know... I know how he blames himself for what happened because in some part, I chose him. I chose to be with him instead of marrying Zhairo. But it was my choice! I love him! That decision doesn't made any impact, right?
