Nagising ako, "How are you?" It was King Charon with Lolo him.
"I'm fine," sabay hawak sa ulo ko, "Si Carlos?"
"I'm here," katabi n'ya si Queen Selene, "How... how did you do that?"
"Hindi ko rin alam eh, there's a surge of power, 'di ko rin alam kung paano nangyari 'yon eh."
"Are you fine, Carlos?"
"Of course, Mom." Napanganga ako, mag-ina sila? "Ah right, she's my and Clyde's mother, the Queen of Phantoms."
"Then your father is also a phantom?"
"Nope," Queen Selene answered, "He's... hmm... how should I put it?"
"He's a phoenix."
"Charon!" Queen Selene shouted and tried to smiled at me, "Yeah, he's a phoenix. Though they say phoenix to rise from ash, he's not going to rise anymore."
"Why?" Napalunok ako, "Wala ba s'yang core?"
"His core is also destroyed when he tried to fight back, he was said to be executed by the lions, King Himuro to be exact." Napatingin na lang ako sa kanya, "That is also the same fate for Aquamarine if she didn't marry Kenneth."
"What?" I looked at King Charon, no, he is my father. "Why didn't you do anything?"
"Well, Charon that time can't do anything. He's the infamous ruler who came from a power of zero to infinite." No... "Kumbaga, the first time you saw us before in the human world, was the only time na makakabawi si Charon sa nanay mo."
"Selene, stop. You're flooding her mind," huminga s'ya ng malalim, "But up until now, I can't mess with fate. Fate or should I say the heavenly principle."
"The balancer of the heavenly principle is Queen Emerald, the maker, and creator, and also the chaos." Lolo said, "While King Carlos, the creator of the Cardinal Law, the Everlasting Law to be exact, he is the known to as order."
Named after me and Carlos? Nagkatinginan kami ni Carlos, "King Hiro, you're not helping."
He went to me and he told me everything I need to know and by the time he was finished telling me everything, alam kong may magagawa s'ya. I know that he choose to sacrifice their love for us, para na rin makuha ni Papa ang dapat sa kanya. And right now he's one of the strongest. "I don't blame you, Papa."
"What did you call me?"
"Papa," I was shaking and so is he. Tears are forming in his eyes, his nose is turning red. "I was waiting for you, all my life."
"Yeah." He wiped the tears that were about to fall, "Your mother mentioned that." He hugged me and I hugged him back.
