Past Reflections

"SKYLAR." I heard a hazy voice say. Mariin kong pinikit ang aking mga mata at mas lalong ibinaon ang mukha ko sa unan.

"Skylar," The voice repeated ngunit hindi ko ulit ito pinansin.

"She's impossible."

"Baka napuyat kakausap kay Bryle."

"She better. Kung 'di pa sila ayos, papatulugin ko 'to sa labas."

Whoosh. I suddenly felt cold water splash onto my head that exact moment at agad akong napaupo, coughing and blinking my eyes rapidly. "THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?!" I exclaim, unbelievably looking at Haisley and Madison's amused faces.

Madison raised up her hands as a gesture of innocence. "Don't look at me," She grinned at natawa naman si Haisley.

"That..." A little voice said and I glanced to my right, only to see Delphine holding a glass of water. "...was me."

"Fine, fine!" I roll my eyes, getting out of bed. "Gising na ako, what do you all want?"

"To get dressed for training of course!" Haisley says as if it's the most obvious thing. "Kayo nalang ni Bryle ang hinihintay sa training room. Mukhang napuyat kayo ahh."

She and Madison then glanced at one another before giggling.

I pointed a finger and wiggled it at them. "Mga manyak! Anong iniisip niyo hah?!" I demand in annoyance. "Nag-usap lang kami, mga issue kayo!"

"If that's what you say," Madison says, raising her shoulders with a shrug.

Agad namang natawa ang dalawa at mas lalo lang akong sumimangot habang binibihisan ni Delphine. I noticed that the two were wearing their capes, at sakto namang inilabas rin ng maliit kong diwata ang sarili kong kapa.

"Why are we wearing our capes?" I frown, Delphine helping me button up my cape. "Lalabas ba tayo?"

Napatigil sa kakulitan ang dalawa at nagka-tinginan bago sumagot si Haisley.

"Yes, sa Woodland Grove daw tayo magte-training." She answered, mentioning a small village in the far east of Therron that was once inhabited by Luna Mage Weavers when they were humans -- noong mga panahong hindi pa binibiyayaan ng tatlong diyosa ang mga tao.

From what I remember, a cluster of trees have surrounded the now abandoned village.

"Woodland Grove..." I whisper, deep in though. "Hindi ba---?"

Madison pursed her lips. "Yes Sky, dadaanan natin ang Drift Town bago makarating sa Woodland Grove."

Her words rang through my head the whole time we were running down the stairs para makapunta sa Luna Chamber kung saan naghihintay 'yung iba.

"Bakit natin kailangang mag-lakad papunta sa Woodland Grove??" I asked in frustration, with Madison sliding down the banister. "Bakit hindi nalang tayo mag-teleport? Kasama naman natin si Rome, hindi ba??"

"Mentor Rome can't be with us today kasi pinapunta siya nina Haring Horrand sa Castell. May importanteng pagpupulong daw na gaganapin at si Mentor Rome ang piniling representative ng Hari at Reyna dahil may kailangan pa daw silang asikasuhin."

Mas lalo lang akong napasimangot as we arrived at the chamber, with Royce greeting us with an annoying clap of his hands.

"Good Morning Skylar," He greets me and I give him a mocking smile. "I see you're not in the mood today with you waking up an hour before lunch time; perfectly wasting our morning session."
