Bewitched

Enchanted 2.9 🧝🏻‍♀️ The Enchanted Council

In life, I still wonder how a month could flip your world upside down. How things could change so fast and how people could be a total other person the next day. It's indeed a fast yet scary world that we live in. In my case, a month ago I was nothing but a valedictorian in a private school, orphaned by parents, taken care of by my grandmother who isn't my grandmother after all these years and a mere Normie....now, I am....

"Asteria Mignonette Zagan, The Great Enchanted Princess of The Enchanted World realm." I could hear the applauds and cheers from my classmates and friends that are now in standing in front of the stage in the open fields.

As the Enchanted Council's surprise visitation in the campus. They have made their grounds from the enchanted babe's day care to the collegiate track of the Academy. It is also the day that they will officially announce us as the lost princess and prince. Yes, us.

"And Alistair Magus Zagan, The Great Enchanted Prince of the Enchanted World realm." Tumango lang kami ni Alistair bago maglakad, papunta sa center ng stage.

Makikita pa din ang pawis at mga dumi sa uniform ni Alistair dahil kakagaling lang namin ng training dome but he looks really energized right now.

Let's just say na na-heal ko siya and gave him strength.

"Before the passing of Great King Esme, he gave us the full authority rights to renounce someone as prince and princess, king and queen so we now renounce the Zagan twins as the Highnesses of the Enchanted World." Sabi ni Silverius kaya nagtanguan ang lahat ng mga estudyante.

"Show your utmost respect for the lost prince and princess." Sabi ni Menos, ang isa sa mga Psyches na parte ng Enchanted Council.

Lumuhod ang lahat pati na rin ang mismong Enchanted Council at Masters ng Academy para mag bigay pugay sa amin.

Apparently, lumabas na pala ang DNA Results kaya pumunta kaagad ang council sa Academy para i-announce na officially kami.

"Show your respects, Queen, Celestina." Sabi ni Mystique, ang isa ring Psyche na parte ng council. Napatingin kaming lahat sa reyna na nakaupo sa isang malaking upuan sa harap ng stage.

"My apologies, Your Excellency and Your Highnesses." Tumayo ito bago lumuhod bilang pag-bow sa amin. Nakita kong ngumisi at umiling si Mystique. If my deductions are correct, Mystique is not fond of Queen Celestina. Iba ang pangungutya sa pangtititig at panananalita nito.

"Parehas tayo ng naisip." Napatingin ako kay Alistair na kinausap ako via mind link. Nagkibit balikat lang ako.

"Your highnesses, we shall not rise unless you behest us to do so." Bulong naman ni Great Master Tassara, parte ng council and leader of Deserts, the sa amin ni Alistair.

"Oh, you may rise." Sabay naming sabi ni Alistair pero napalingon ako kay Flow at tiningnan siya ng masama. Nababasa ko ang iniisip niya at natawa siya sa innocence naming magkakambal.

Still can't believe na may kambal ako.

Umupo na ang council at naglakad papalapit sa mic si Flow. Bababa na sana kami ni Alistair ng sumenyas si Flow ng wait.

"And, we shall not waste the Council's day so today we will be announcing the new student council." What? Ngayon kaagad ang elections ng council? Kakalabas lang ng Academe Results ah.

"Blade, Dark, make sure to stop him." Napakunot ako nang mabasa ang sinasabi ng utak ni Flow. Stop what? Parang may mali sa nangyayari ngayon.

"My dearest Prince of a son, what are you doing?" Bulong ni Queen Celeste.

"Well, a live and justified election in front of the very eyes of our Great Enchanted Council." Sabi ni Flow. Napatingin naman ako sa Council members at ang ibang nakakunot samantalang ang iba ay parang nagustuhanang suhestyon ni Flow.

"And mother, we shan't waste a day of the council specially that they gave a day of inspection in the Academy." Napakunot ako nang mapansing hindi natutuwa ang reyna sa ginagawa ng kanyang anak pero hindi siya nito pinansin sa halip ay humarap ito sa mga council and ngumiti bago magbow.

"Go on, Your Highness. We only witness these elections of yours by paper and word. I think, it would be a splendor. Right, Council?" Sabi ni Tito este Grand Master Levitius. Nasanay akong tawagin siyang tito. I cannot believe na he is here in the Academy and as a council member slash Grand Master.

"I agree."

"Indeed, it is."

"We shan't waste day so be it."

Napangisi naman si Flow and something tells me that there's more to this pero hindi ko mabasa ang utak niya.

"Headmistress Georgia, please do the honors." Ang gulat, nakanganga at tulala na si Headmistress ay biglang napatayo at nagbow kay Flow bago pumunta sa center ng stage.

"Master Snape, the list." Lumapit agad si Master Snape sa stage at may inabot na papel kay Headmistress Georgia.

"This election is of the bases of royal blood ranking together with the General Academe Results from last trimester. The judgment of the results has also been thoroughly discussed by Queen Celeste, the Academy Masters and yours truly. Ehem!" Halatang kinakabahan si Headmistress Georgia and her thoughts are loud. Natatakot siya na magreklamo ang council sa inelect nilang President.

"Thee who shall be elected today shall carry on his and/or her duties throughout the whole year until next year's first trimester. I will start of with the President of the Enchanted Academy Student Council...." Huminga siya ng malalim pero bago pa siya magsalita ay narinig kong binulungan ni Alistair si Headmistress through his mind at nanlaki ang mga mata ko.

"The Zagan Twins!" Nagpalakpakan ang lahat pwera lang sa masters at sa reyna. Nagtinginan kami ni Alistair bago nagtanguan.

"We do not accept the offer." Napasinghap ang lahat. Miski si Flow ay nagulat sa ginawa namin.

"I-I beg your pardon?" Sabi ni Headmistress Georgia. Miski siya ay nagulat dahil binulungan siya ni Alistair na iannounce na kami ang president.

"We do not want to stain the Academy of our blood so we, the Great Prince and Princess, elect Prince Flow Zahar Kaia as President." Sabi ni Alistair. Nakikita ko ang naguguluhan na mukha ng mga estudyante sa paligid.

"Hahaha." Napatingin kami kay Menos na biglang tumawa. "This election is rip-roaring. Do carry on. My council, the end of our day will be at peace."

What? He's one weird old man. Definitely.

"Then, I accept." Tumayo si Flow at inangat ang bracelet na hawak niya bago isuot muli.

"Since the twins of Highness have refused to accept the election, they will be automatically announced as the Vice Presidents." Naglakad kami papunta sa center ng stage at nagpalakpakan ang mga tao kahit makikita ang confusion sa mga mukha nila.

"Blaze Ravana and Stormius Katastrephein please give your council bracelets to the newly elected VPs." Naglakad paakyat ng stage si Blaze at Storm. Si Blaze ay nakangisi samantalang si Storm ay parang hindi natutuwa. Wait? Pinikit ko ang mga mata ko at sinubukang pasukan ang isipan ni Kuya Storm.

"Wear it." Inangat ni Blaze ang braso ko at sinuot ang bracelet. Napatingin sa akin si Alistair at Flow.

"Do not make a move, Asteria." Nababasa ko na ang nasa isip ni Storm. No no no this can't be true!

Dinilat ko ang mga mata ko. Hinanap ko ang lalaking tumatakbo sa isipan ni Kuya Storm. The reason why Kuya Storm's thoughts are loud and dark. This cannot be true!

"Noway." Bulong ko. Naramdaman ko ang cold hands ni Alistair at Flow na nakahawak sa braso ko. Tumulo ang isang luha sa mga mata ko. I cannot believe this. At alam ni Kuya Storm.
