Chapter 11: Extreme Magic

Colt's Point Of View

I woke up.

Gumising ako sa magabok at madamong lupa. The four is nowhere to be found, I looked around and the only thing I saw was tall trees, different kinds of them. Different flowers and... a giant woman?

"Gising ka na pala." wika nito sa akin. 

"Magdamit ka nga!" singhal ko dito habang tinatakpan ang mga mata ko, narinig ko itong humagikhik. She's a Djinn.

"For your information, mister, I can't, because I'm, a Djinn." Matapos iyon ay muli siyang humarap sa akin. She has a headdress that looks like a sun. She has long hair and such a beautiful body, oh heck what am I thinking!

"Nasaan yung apat? I know sila yung tumawag sayo." diretsang tanong ko sa Djinn.

"They went on to get those Kinse Crystals."

"You mean 'Sensus Crystals'?" natatawang pagtatama ko sa kanya.

"Uh, whatever. Matulog ka na lang kaya uli?" sarkastikong sagot nito sa akin. Napatawa na lang ako

"Those darn friends of yours. Tinawag ako para ano? Para pagalingin ka at ano pagkatapos? Pagbabantayin ako? Gosh, I'm much more than this." mas napatawa pa ako sa reaksyon ng Djinn, agad naman akong inirapan nito at ibinaling ang tingin sa kung saan man.

"How long did I sleep?" tanong ko uli sa kanya.

"Probably an hour, your friends left matapos nilang masigurong ayos na yung kondisyon mo. They told me na wala dapat oras na masayang." sagot nito sa akin.

Matapos ang ilang segundo ay namayani ang nakakabinging katahimikan, tanging ang agos ng marahil malapit na ilog at ang mga humuhuning ibon, idagdag pa ang maiingay na insektong nasa kani-kanilang puno. Ang misteryosong Djinn ang bumasag sa katahimikan.

"I've seen what happened to you." diretsang sabi niya sa akin.

"Heh?"

"Don't pretend, you were in matter of life and death situation. You were about to die pero you chose to live. Hindi ako tsismosa pero, can I know why?" matapos magtanong ay muli itong tumingin sa akin. I smiled bitterly.

"I was thinking about succumbing. At that moment I saw her, the girl I loved the most. And as if that was a scene from a dream, she was calling me, she was asking me to come with her to a certain place," I stopped, this time ay humarap na sa akin ang Djinn. Her eyes was talking to me to continue.

I sighed then continued ."She was aking me to come to a place where pain doesn't exist. A place where we can be together. Iniabot niya sa akin ang kamay niya and I was about to grab it when I heard several people calling me, it was them. "

"Nagdalawang isip ako no'n kung sasama ba ako kay Cindy. Pero instead, napaiyak na lang ako, when I looked around, nakita ko silang apat, hinihintay ako, nagtatawanan sila. Inabot muli nila ang kamay nila sa akin, and I accepted it wholeheartedly."

"Accepted what?"

"For some reason, I realized that I just had to accept the fact that Cindy died. Dapat ko nang tanggapin ang pagkawala niya. There's no need to avenge her, everything happens for a reason. " I ended, my tears were slowly falling but, I was smiling.

"For some reason, you're right. When people die, nakakalungkot naman talaga, there's really no well in farewell pero when they die, hindi pa iyong permanent goodbye. When people die, they are being part of the bigger and massive flow of life in the form of magoi."
