Chapter 9 : Mission
FISSO
Tila nawalan ako ng hininga ng ilang sandali. I gasped for an air and looked around the whole ballroom. The place was in chaos. But the things is... Serel isn't here anymore. Napakurap ako dahil kanina lamang ay naroroon siya. How can she move that fast?
"Shit, we lost her!" Inis na ani Flare at nagsisimula ng uminit ang buong paligid.
I shook my head. This is crazy. Paano nga ulit ako naka-rating sa lugar na ito? And this place drives me crazy. I thought I'm just hallucinating when I arrived in here because they have powers or o called.
Humiwalay saakin si Serel dahil mukhang mayroon siyang bibilhin. While roaming around the market, I saw one of her favorite food. I chuckled before putting it on our cart.
Ilang minuto pa ang lumipas ay napansin kong hindi pa bumabalik si Serel. I looked for him around the mall but she's nowhere to find. My heart started to race. I'm starting to think of something terrible happened to her. I hope not.
Then I finally had the urge to ask the guard if he somehow saw Serel.
"Ah, iyong babaeng kasama niyo ho kanina? Lumabas po, may akay-akay na matanda." Pahayag nito saakin, napailing ako. Kinabahan ako doon.
But still, I should be worried. Hindi niya kilala ang babaeng sinamahan niya. How could that woman be so careless? Mamaya mapahamak siya e. Masyadong mabait. Napailing ako bago lumabas doon.
I looked around and gladly, I saw a familiar hair flowing down. Medyo malayo na sila saakin but I manage to follow their trails. But I kept myself in the dark. I dont want Serel to call me creep, ang babaeng 'yon pa naman ay napaka talas ng bibig pero napaka-amo ng boses. I tsked, remembering the days she'll curse me to death because I hid her book and there a scratch in it.
My face screams confusion when they turned on a street. I looked at the sign board. 'Sellaisrev' I also noticed that it was my first time seeing this street. I continued following them until the old lady stopped. Mukhang may pinag-usapan sila at umiling ang matanda. Matapos iyon ay naglakad muli sila. But this time, they walked towards the forest.
Nang masigurong nakalayo na sila ay saka ako sumunod. But I stopped when I saw Serel. She was about to walk back but she stopped and looked so stunned. A light came from the book she received earlier, gulat na gulat siya sa mga nangyayari. So am I. I cant even move.
Everything surprised me, nakita ko na lamang ang sarili kong nakatayo sa isang portal at inaalala kung paano noon hinigop si Serel. My mind was blank until I heard a voice.
"You have the choice to follow her and enter the world where you came from and stay until they finished the chaos that the eternal created." Nanigas ako sa kinatatayuan ko ng makita ang matandang kanina lamang ay kasama ni Serel.
"Sino ka!? Anong ginawa mo sa kaniya!?" Kaagad kong bulyaw sa kaniya ng makabawi sa pagkagulat.
But she didn't even replied, bagkus, nagulat ako ng lumiwanag siya at nagbago ng anyo. I cursed loudly when I saw her lovely face. Itinulak niya ako sa portal at dinig na dinig ko pa rin ang huli niyang sinabi bago ako tuluyang lamunin ng liwanag.
"I'm horoscope, and your fate for this day is to follow your mother's trail."
And after that, I woke up with chains in my hands. Tila nakakulong ako. Doon ko nakilala sina Flare. But they're no ordinary, they have powers, elements rather.
