Chapter 20: Sea of Revelations

Sea of Revelations

---

I RAN through the chaos of people clad in jewels and drinking expensive wine. Everyone was talking all at once as I pushed through, running after Gabryle.

"LOLA! LOLA!" A memory reminded me. I was around ten years of age nang dinala ako ni Lola Rosalina sa Therron's main train station. Maraming Mage Weavers rin ang palabas-pasok mula sa tren and the platform was filled with the different scents of the people who came and go.

Sa sobrang rami nang tao ay nawala ako sa paningin ni Lola Rosalina one time, making me rush through men in large coats that held dark suitcases, and women whose perfume smelled of dizzy raspberries.

I would push and shove through all those people just to see a glimpse of Lola Rosalina's familiar face, whilst also shouting her name.

It was all the same right now.

"GABE!" I yelled, trying as much as I can to run faster but the large gown was much too big and heavy for me to fit amidst the crowd in the ballroom.

Grunting, I continued tugging onto my dress while running, nang bigla akong hinila ni Madison.

"Sky, darling!" She exclaimed before whispering worriedly, "What the hell is happening? Bakit kayo tumatakbo ni Bryle??"

"I have no ide—"

"Before you continue your running session with the prince, meet my hell of a parents first." She whispered, and I finally realized kung bakit niya ako kinakausap in hushed voices.

Oo nga pala, sabi ni Chancellor Asteria ay dadating ang bawat pamilya ng members of the Luna Team. Well, their families actually. I have no family members left.

Madison then tugged onto my arms at agd akong iniharap sa dalawang matanda na kinakausap ni Damien. A young man our age also was with them.

The tall, thin man who I assumed was Madison's father, had his hair turning gray due to old age. This man was wearing a rather expensive looking suit that seemed to be studded with gold intricacies. Madison's mother on the other hand was a small, petite woman who had sharp, facial features just like Madison. Her cat eyes looked at me snobbishly as she stroked the fur coat around her shoulders.

"Father, mother; this is my friend Skylar, who is also my co-member in the Luna Team." Madison said, introducing me to her parents.

I gave a little, embarrassed smile.

"Skylar, this is my father, Don Morgan Griffths; and my mother, Doña Fleur Griffiths." Sabi ni Madison and I hesitantly stepped forward to ask for their hands para magmano, which is usually and traditionally done as a sign of respect.

Ngunit hindi ibinigay ng mag-asawa ang kanilang kamay and Madison pulled me away, faking a smile whilst trying to murmur to my ear, "That's not a thing in our family."

"Whoops, sorry." I say meekly, also trying to force out a smile and bowed instead. Nakikita ko sa peripheral vision ko si Damien na pumipigil sa pag-tawa.

"And this, is my brother, Stefan." Sabi naman ng aking kaibigan, turning me to face the other young man.

This lad had his long dark brown hair slicked and pushed to the back. He seemed to more laid-back and gave me something of a playful men before bowing down as a greeting.
