Arden

CHAPTER 33

Arden started to contact his siblings about Helena. He called Avris kaso nasa kanya-kanyang kingdom sila. The only solution?

They had a group call. Buti nalang at wala pa ang dormmates niya.

"This is our first group call as complete siblings! Screencap ko muna!"  Arisse

"What is it you want to talk about Arden? Tungkol ba ito kay Helena?" They went quiet after Avris' question.

"Yeah. I want to know what she knows." Arden

"We won't talk about your existence in the media for now. We will avoid those questions---" Pinutol ni Arden ang sasabihin ni Alissha.

"Don't avoid it. Deny it. Malalaman nilang buhay ako if you won't confirm anything." Arden

"What?! Are even okay with that?!" Arisse

"I have my own plans. I will be the to introduce myself soon." Arden

"Manghihingi sila ng patunay. Arden needs to know how to summon the Center Kingdom Crest." Asher

"Crest?" Arden

"It can easily take you to the castle kahit saan ka man mapadpad. It serves as a portal and also as our own family crest itself.

Tayo lang ang may kakayahan na i-summon ito mula sa ating palad. We will try to ask help from Dream." Avris

"Dream?" Arden

"Yup. She is the Goddess of Dreams and I'm sure she can help us. She lives up to her name anyway."  Arisse

"We will do it at 8:00 P.M. Siguraduhing tulog na kayo ng mga oras na yan." Alissha

Sinang-ayunan ito ng lahat. Arden even managed to ask for an intense training from them.

Buti nalang at may healing potions siyang natutunan sa klase. He also has energizers to keep him active during the day.

"We will teach you what we learned from our training Arden. Magmula sa kay Maam Poppy na naging tutor namin hanggang sa mga itinuro ni Dad." Avris

Arden haven't seen his father personally. His siblings told him that he is very happy Arden is in Magica and want to meet him if they both have time.

"Keep in mind we will train you weekdays para makapagpahinga ka sa weekends." Asher

"And don't forget to take some potions and energizers. Your body might feel pain. After all hindi ito basta-bastang training lang." Avris

"While we are training you, we are also training ourselves. Kaya dapat kakayanin natin ito lahat." Alissha

"This will serve as your professional training Arden. At school you are all advanced, but in reality, you will be more than that. We trust you that you won't boast." Arisse

"I won't boast. I dislike attention. Anyway, let's do this. Kailan tayo magsisimula?" Arden

"Bukas. We'll ask Dream tomorrow and see if she'll help us." Arisse

"Then it's settled." Arden

"Can't wait to see you guys tomorrow!" Arisse

Nagpaalam sila sa isa't-isa and Arden heard the door opening outside. Buti at natapos na sila sa kanilang pagtawag magkapatid.

*The next night*

Since 8:00 is decided, gumamit si Arden ng sleeping pills para madali siyang makatulog.

He woke up in a huge arena. Nadatnan niya doon ang isang babae.

"Uhm... Hello?" Tawag niya doon sa babae.

Lumingon ang babae sa kanya and she smiled.

"Hello your highness. I'm Dream. The Goddess of Dreams." Pakilala sa kanya ni Dream

"Nice to meet you Dream." Arden

"Likewise your highness." Dream

"So this is where we'll held the training?" Interesadong tanong ni Arden habang nakatingin sa buong Arena.

"Yes your highness. Sinadya kong wag nang lagyan ng bubong ang arena. I know what you and those four are capable of." Dream

Arden looked at the sky. It is a beautiful galaxy. Isa na ata iyon ang pinakamagandang nakita niya sa langit.

"Drop the your highness. I don't feel like it." Arden

"As you wish." Dream

Isa-isang dumating ang apat. And the usual, meet and greet.

"Since we're all here, I would be the first to teach Arden." Avris

"Okay!" The other three went to the seats.

"I will be teaching you how to summon the family crest." Avris

He called the other three na siyang ikinadismaya nila.

"Kakaupo lang namin!" Natatawang sabi ni Arisse

"Show your crests." Avris

Isa-isang pinakita nila ang kanilang crest sa pamamagitan ng pagbukas ng kanilang palad. It is a 3D symbol of their kingdom na pinalibutan ng kanilang element.

"Makakaalis na kayo." Avris

Bumalik sila sa bleachers na inupuan nila kanina.

"Now your turn. Show your palms and think of the symbol of Center Kingdom." Avris

Nung umpisa, Arden had a hard time pero nang sinubukan niya ay may lumabas sa kamay niya.

Lumutang ang isang gold crown na pinalibutan ng araw at buwan. Sa bandang araw ay mayroon itong mga ulap at sa bandang buwan ay napapalibutan ito ng mga bituin.

"Whoa! Guys! You have to see this!" Sigaw ni Avris

Everyone hurriedly ran towards them. Namangha sila dahil ito ang unang pagkakataong makita ang crest ng Center Kingdom.

"I think we'll stay here. Doon lang kami uupo." Arisse

Umupo lang sila sa sahig para hindi na tumakbo pa.

"Okay stop." Avris

Agad na nawala ang crest at tinuruan agad siya kung paano magteleport gamit ang crest.

After many times, Arden successfully managed to teleport from one area to another.

"That's good. You can teleport to the castles now." Avris

Avris taught Arden the techniques of using the crest. Hanggang sa sumingit na si Dream.

"Your highnesses. It is time for you to wake up. Don't forget to take energizers and healing potions." Dream

Nagpaalam na sila sa kanya at bumalik na sa reyalidad.

Arden woke up na pagod. Buti nalang at gumana talaga yung mga healing potions na natutunan niya at yung mga energizers na binili niya.

"I guess this will do." Arden whispered to himself.

Dream recommended them na magpahinga din minsan sa training dahil mas maganda pa rin ang tulog. Sleep is essential lalo na sa mga trainings.

Nalalapit na rin ang booth proposals kaya nag-ensayo sila ni Fey sa mga sasabihin.

Kinabisado na rin nila ang kanilang mechanics and how it will benefit them or the students.

And hopefully matuloy ang booth nila.
