Lunaire Academy: Wizards And Witches Saga [ONGOING]

Joining the Regulars

Napabaling ang tingin ko sa kinauupuan ni Loki nang nagsalita ito. "All right. We'll do it."

His slight hesitation to show his magic was replaced with assurance and certainty that he will do it. Loki's expression went sedately, then he sighed and everyone was fixing their eyes at him, it seems that they were surprised slightly by his firmness as he blurt out those statement.

Nakaramdam ako ng matinding aura na nagmumula sa kaniya. Shit. The aura was calm and tranquil, pero bakit ang bigat-bigat nito sa pakiramdam. When I took a glance at his hands, I saw a fine particle of green dusts, it seems like it will form something out of it. Parang naghuhubog ng isang weapon ang mga mala-luntiang alikabok na lumalabas sa mga kamay ni Loki. Then, it flashed a strong, and luminous green light when the weapon was formed. Napansin ko rin na nagniningning ang singsing ni Loki, but this time, it was color green, unlike the first time we met sa mundo ng mga tao, wherein a shimmering blue light materialized from it, pagkatapos niyang talunin ang hell hound na nakaharap namin. Napatunghay ako ng biglang nagsalita si Loki.

"Art of Magical Weaponry. This was the ancient magic na tinataglay ng... ng pamilya ko." Loki said gloomily, as if a tear will fell on his eyes. There's something wrong with him at nahalata ko na iyon sa tono palang ng kaniyang pananalita. Kitang-kita ko rin ang pamamanglaw ng kaniyang mga mata nang binanggit niya ang kaniyang "pamilya".

Tumayo ako mula sa aking kina-uupuan ng hindi ko namamalayan. Hindi ko na rin alam ang gagawin ko nang makita ko ang lungkot  na nakapinta sa mukha ni Loki. Parang may kung anong puwersa ang nagtulak sa akin upang siya ay lapitan. Then, I approached him and I grasped his right hand, caressing it unconsciously. Wala na rin akong pakialam sa sasabihin ng nakapaligid sa akin, sa amin. I poured all of my love and concern for him as I held his right hand even warmer and tighter.  I want to do something. I want to comfort him with my advices. I want him to be happier. Gusto ko siyang ikulong sa mga bisig ko ngunit hindi ko magawa.

Tumunghay siya at bahagyang nagulat nang makita niya ako, ngunit hindi niya ito ipinahalata. Our eyes met, and locked with each other. Then, he gave me his sweetest and most genuine smile, and I saw his eyes shining too as he looked at me. Biglang nawala ng parang bula ang "moment" na sana namin ni Loki nang tumikhim ang iba pa namin mga kasama. Napabitaw ako sa pagkakahawak ko sa kanang kamay ni Loki at agad-agad kaming dumistansya sa isa't-isa. Siguro mga isang ruler lang ang pagitan. Then, I glanced accidentally at Gwen and what made me surprised was that, she was glaring at me. I bet she was pissed. What the heck? Sorry ka na lang girl! But, it was our moment. My lips quirked slightly, as I saw the face made by Gwen. Napatikhim na lang ako, maging si Loki.

"I think, that's all for today. Ipagpaliban muna natin ang initiation at ipagpatuloy na lang sa susunod na araw." Rincewind said in peevish tone. Tila biglang sinumpong ng kung ano man si Rincewind. Tantrums, literally.

"Is there a problem, bro?" pag-aalalang tanong ni Luccas kay Rincewind. Ngunit hindi ito inintindi ni Rincewind, sa halip ay tinitigan lang niya ako at si Loki. He looked at us with slight exasperation and blank expression drawn on his refined face. I was confused. Bakit ba siya nagkakaganito? Tumalikod na si Rincewind at bigla na lamang umalis ng walang pasabi. Sumunod dito si Luccas, at hinabol naman ito ni Gwydion. Sumunod na rin si Gwen, at bumaling pa siya ng tingin sa akin, saka ako inirapan at humabol na kayna Gwydion. Sina Calum, Phyra. Zera, Verdana, at Stella ang natira sa pavillion bukod sa aming dalawa ni Loki.

"Uy, guys ano ba nangyayari?" Verdana bewilderedly asked us.

"Love problem? Don't know?" Stella said ironically and intentionally. Then, she chuckled. "Tara na, bumalik na tayo sa room. We need to get back before nine o' clock and it's already 8:30 a.m. guys." dagdag ni Stella.
