Aron Xavier || Eros

"What is this?"

I looked at what Elise was holding and it was the data from Sir Cronus! Her data!

"Steph anak we can ex—" she cut her own father off.

"I am not asking you, Dad!"

She looked at me again with anger and shouted the louder, "I am asking you, visitor!" The way she said "visitor" was full of sacrcasm.

"Elise, calm down and we can explain. I can explain." Kalmado kong sabi, dahil hindi naman pwedeng makipagsabayan ako sa galit niya.

"I am calm!"

This is her definition of calm, huh? 

"Well sit here and let me explain. Can you?" Kalmado ko pa ring sabi.

Umirap siya at padabog na lumapit sa kung nasaan kami at naupo sa sofa.

"Now, explain!"

"Anak, please don't be mad at Aron, inutusan lang siya, kami ang may kasalanan." Naiiyak na sabi ni Tita.

No, Tita. I want her anger be directed at me, not to you, not to Tito.

"No Mom, dapat lang na magalit ako—"

"Your parents have nothing to do with this. I will explain to you, and I want you to listen carefully." I eyed her to see her reaction, she nodded at me, still wih a frown on her face.

"Elise, you are not just a normal person, you have powers, you have magic, just like your parents, just like me, and everybody else you saw in that mini reunion five years ago. You are a Mago. And MAGEÍA needs you. Your father can control the fire, while your mother can control the lightning, and your own magic will be one of those two. I am here to escort you and your family to the Philippines, to MAGEÍA. I have your data because the school head gave it to me, to know you and what you are like before meeting you. If you're wondering why MAGEÍA needs you, that's because again, just like your parents, you are a Mago but not just an ordinary Mago. And there is a war coming up for us, for us Magos in MAGEÍA."

She looked so shocked, to all these facts. It must be hard for her to endure this all.

"At anak, that room beside ours is our training room. Gusto mo bang makita?" Finally, Tito talked.

"Wait lang Mom, Dad. This is so hard to process. I am a Mago? I have magic? I can either control fire or lightning? And most of all, I can't even process that I am a Mago and then you say I am not just an ordinary Mago? Are you all kidding me?" Gulung-gulo na sabi ni Elise, palipat-lipat pa ang tingin sa kanyang Mommy, Daddy, at sa akin.

"All of those are true, anak. We can prove it to you once we're in the training room. And yes, you are not just an ordinary Mago, all of us here inside this house." Sabi ni Tita.

"Even Xavier?" Gulat na naman na tanong niya. I almost let out a small laugh but this is a serious situation, I just can't laugh when I want to!

"Yes. For example, if I had teleportation as a magic, I could teleport myself with you to the place where I want to." Paliwanag ni Tita Selena.

"To be clearer, there is a connection. If time is stopped by a Mago like us, we will still be able to move, unlike others who will be trapped in time." Dagdag naman ni Tito Ezekiel.

"Halika, pumunta tayo sa training room." Pag aya ni Tito Ezekiel kaya sumunod kaming dalawa ni Elise sa kanila ni Tita.

"This doesn't change the fact that you lied to me, and you kept a data of me." Bulong niya nang malapit na kami sa training room. I sighed. She's really mad at me.
