Caught on the loop

Alejandria ( Moonlight )

. . .

"Alejandria, Lord Hades wants to see you."

I stopped sharpening my blade and laid it down.

Ano nanamn kayang kailangan ni Hades?

I nodded at his servant and wiped my blade with a clean cloth.

I like it better when my blade shines, bagay sa suot kong itim na damit.

Lumabas na ako ng kwarto at tumungo sa study ni Hades.

Kumatok ako ng tatlong besses, saglit lang ay bumukas ang napakalaking pintuan na gawa sa kahoy at ginto.

"You have summon me Lord Hades.."

" Aahh yes I did. I grant you a passage to earth..."

Nanlaki yung mata ko.

Ilang daang taon na din ang lumipas dito sa impyerno nang huli akong naka apak sa mundong ibabaw.

"You must retrieve a bride on the loose..."

" He lost his new bride again?"

Both of us smirked.

"Well what can I say, it runs in the family."

Hades waved his hand in the air, a passage to  earth appeared out of nowhere.

" Here take this gun and make haste, you must also retrieve what she stole ..."

I nodded and bowed to show my respect.

I took a deep breathe as I enter the passage way.

Cold breeze of air welcomed me as I was swept off my feet and landed on a solid ground.

I looked around and realized that I am once again on earth.

It feels so nice breathing in the cold air.

In front of me looks like a glitch on the matrix.

Let me describe it.

The sun is already setting kaya madilim na ang paligid.

Nakatayo ako ngayon sa gitna ng isang malawak na bakanteng lote.

Walang tao sa paligid at ang tunog ng ibon lang ang aking naririnig.

But in front of me seems like a passage to somewhere bright.

Kinapa ko yung gilid ng entrance, it feels like a concrete surface.

It must be Gray's bubble.

Gumawa rin siya ng katulad nito noon when I was injured as the world war was starting.

Kinailangan naming magtago para sa aming kaligtasan.

It's invisible to humans, I wish I have the ability like this.

To actually stop time.

I went closer and peeked into the passage and saw a familiar house.

Bahay to nila Gray ah.

I looked closer and saw Gray being held hostage by Airalyn.

Well that's dissappointing to watch.

It's so unlike Gray to be submissive.

I bet he is planning something.

Well let's enjoy the show.

It seems like Airalyn is trying to bargain something.

That's not too smart.

Bargaining with a demon is just as good as trading your own soul for nothing but a good old karma.
