Mystic Identity (Magic Series #1)

No one dared to speak after that reunion that happen, parang sinadya.

"So where is your mother, Emerald?" It was my grandmother who broke the silence, umiwas ako ng tingin sa kanya, "Where is she?"

Should I tell her that her daughter is dead? No time to lose anyway. "She is dead, Lola," I answered her, I can feel that there was much worse.

"What... what did you say?" Halos umulwa na ang mata n'ya nung nalaman n'yang patay na si Mama, she is my grandmother, it's only natural to react that way.

"Why don't you ask Himuro about it?" I eyed him with much disgusting look.

Napatingin na lang si Lola Henancia kay Tandang Himuro, "What did you do to Aquamarine? Himuro!" Galit na tanong n'ya kay Tandang Himuro. He took everything away from my mother, the love that was for her was also taken away. I wanted to kill him but I can't!

"Greed for power as always." Sagot ko, fire is raging through walls. Mas kumapal ang pagkakadingding ng Bloodstone City pero dahil sa apoy na nanggagaling kay Lola Henancia it melt like that.

"Henancia control your temper!" Sigaw ni Lolo Hiro, "Isang taon na ang lumipas simula ng mangyari ang araw na yun."

"Then that means what I heard from Quera... the news from Quera is real?" Gulat na tanong ni Lola Henancia, tumango ako. I saw her die in front of me.

Bakit hanggang ngayon nakatanim pa rin ang galit ko sa kanila? Dapat nga hindi ko na sila pinapansin, they all belong to my past now.

Napatanong ako sa isip ko, "Hanggang ngayon ay nakatanim pa rin sa akin ang ginawa ng magulang mo, Himuro. That your father, Rintarou, killed our parents, it's been years but my memories around that time seems to stay intact and crystal clear."

"Madaming nagtataka sa Pure Side kung bakit hanggang ngayon ay galit pa rin kami sa Lions. Dahil may dugo kaming dragon. Ang dugo ng dragon ang dahilan kung bakit hanggang ngayon ay nakatanim pa rin ang galit namin. Even though 10 millennium years has pass."

"Dugong dragon ang nanalaytay kay Emerald kaya hanggang ngayon ay nakatanim pa rin ang galit sa puso n'ya, kahit nangyari ang lahat nang iyon, isang taon na ang nakalilipas. Hindi s'ya katulad n'yo, katulad mo Himuro. Your blood, the lion blood never and will ever flow in her, Himuro, she's not like you."

Kaya naman pala. Hindi ko kayang kuhanin si Caleb noon kasi hindi ako sakim. I'm just obsessed kaya ako ganun dati pero ngayon wala na akong pakialam. He's too hard to get.

"Hindi totoo ang sinasabi mo, Hiro." Sigaw ni Tandang Himuro, ano bang pinaglalaban n'ya at nandito s'ya? "Kailangan namin ang tulong mo Hiro, kahit ngayon lang." Sabi nito sa isip n'ya. Nanlaki ang mata ko, I can read everything on his mind.

"Alam ko na kung bakit nandito kayong lahat," Tumingin silang lahat sa akin, "Am I that useful?"

"Anong kailangan nila?" It was King Terciano who reacted first.
