Magnus Academy: The Cursed Blood

Chapter Eighty-Nine

Arrival at The Western Territory

Ang lamig. Sobrang lamig. Hindi ko alam kung nasaan ako o kung ilang oras na ako nakatulog dito sa may tabi ng ilog, but the sun was already setting. The cold air made me shiver once more and not to mention sobrnag sakit oa ng buong katawan ko. Well for someone who has been pulled by the harsh waters, I sure did great.

My muscles are aching and my legs feel numb. Para bang wala akong enerhiya tumayo o itaas manlang ang nga kamay ko. Once more, I noticed that I am surrounded by trees. Wait, the last time I remember is that I escaped from the Forbidden Library, ibig sabihin tumakas ako sa Academy. And I remember it was afternoon back then, ay ngayon ay palubod na ang araw.

Tinignan ko ang communication bracelet na binigay sa akin mi Headmistress noon, and there were hologram light that's getting blurry. The bracelet was destroyed, dahil siguro sa impact ng tubig at sa mga natamaan ko habang nawalan ako ng malay. Even my back hurts, ang there is actually a trace of blood falling from my forehead. Ang sakit ng ulo ko, and I can feel my eyes drifting back to sleep dahil sa lamig. Just where the hell am I?

Sinubukan konb bumangon pero madali din naman akong sumuko at hinayaan nalang muna magpahinga ang katawan ko. Basa parin ang buong katawan ko, and thus I need to dry up soon o magkakasakit talaga ako. Pinilit ko ulit bumangon habang pinatong ko ang dala kong kamay sa maputik na lupa, as I pushed myself up. Soon, after few minutes, I managed to stand up but my legs are wobbly.

Nahihirapan akong maglakad dahul nga ang sakit ng mga muscles ko kaya may napulot akong mahabang stick at gubamit ito bilang paramg baston at napadali nadin sa wakas ang paglakad ko. Wala akong nararamdamang tao malapit sa akin, so I can easily assume that I'm alone. Kailangan kong malaman kung ilang oras na ako nakatulog o kung saan ako. I need to get that last info from that magic ball. Wala akong pakealam kung dinoble nila ang security, I'll just break rught through in again.

But the current problem is that I'm missing. I sighed, giving in. There's no point thinking about stuffs like that now kung hindi ako makakaalis sa ligar na ito. Sa ngayon ay kailangan ko ng matutuluyan at apoy para mainitan ang katawan ko. It's basically turning into a winter season now, kaya malamig talaga ang panahon ngayon.

I found a cave just few kilometers ahead kaya mabilis akong lumakad papunta dito. Nakapulot din ako ng mga maliliit na kahoy para sa apoy. When I reached the cave, I immediately set up the bonfire, at ginamit ang electricity ko to produce heat then finally, a fire. Lumubog na ang araw at ngayon ay nagugutom na naman ako. After several minutes of resting, I can handle myself now without the need of a stick.

My stomach then growled in hunger. It's almost impossible for me to be this hungry, did I actually pass out for days? Nagpalabas nalang ako ng malalim na hininga at sumandal sa mabatong pader ng kweba. It's uncomfortable, but it made me remember that time back in the cave in Arizole. Pinatong ko ang ulo ko sa hita niya, I was sick bt he didn't complain kahit na alam ko na hindi siya sanay dito. I knew he was a good person.

Pero nakita ko ulit siya sa isang 'parallel world' kung saan ang consciousness ko lang ang bumalik. He wasn't Hoy, iba siya. I refused to accept the fact that he has that kind of personality, a side that I wasn't aware. It hurts right in the chest every time I remember how he easily stabbed me and drowned me down.

The evening was getting deeper, and the sound of crickets were everywhere. Looking from here below, I can even see the half moon. Looking at that certain moon made me remember that one thing I could never forget. Nung mga panahon na nasa isang misyon kami at nakasama ko siya.

"One day that moon will turn into a full one with many stars beside it, it'll not be alone for long. And when it does, look at it again, you'll be happy."
