The Woman, The Dreams and The Moon

Chapter 18

Hindi maipinta ang mukha ni Rebecca pagkatapos itanghal ng buwan si Lizette, bilang bagong itinakdang pinuno. Puno ng puot ang kanyang mga mala-pilak na mata. Lahat ng lobo sa paligid ay nakikiramdam sa susunod na mga mangyayari. "Sumuko ka na sa baluktot mong hangarin, Rebecca. Ako na ang bagong niyong pinuno." saad ng aking ina sa babaeng nanggagalaiti sa galit. "Hindi pa ganap ang pagkapinuno mo. Hindi ka pa naseselyuhan ng tunay na buwan." saad ng babae habang ngumingisi. Ano? Hindi ko nagets ang huling sinabi ng babae. I just saw Luna on her shade of blood. Ang bumabang buwan ay kasing ganda ni Luna but her radiance and divinity were both far from what I already saw. May kakaiba sa nakita kong Luna. She is more composed and divine in authority. In short, she is glorious.

Muling lumiwanag ang paligid mas nakakasilaw kesa sa nakita namin kanina. Pagkatapos ng ilang segundo, I saw Luna again. She is here but this time she is more glorious. I must say that she definitely looks like a goddess with full divinity. Her radiance, charm and presence quarupled and it feels like heaven is on earth. Everything stopped as of the moment. Her effect was so intense that even us were forced to kneel. All of us are on the ground. There was a certain power coming out of her that had created sparkling beam of lights all over the place. I cannot deny the fact that this mountain top, swiftly changed into a divine sanctuary. Luna is gorgeous as ever. She is wearing white dress that extends up to her feet. The dress flows with the wind. Her head was adorned with a crown that was made up of crystals that looks exactly like real stars, shining in an ever sparkling lights. Her complexion was white as snow. The moment her feet touched the ground, we all felt her immense power. Indeed, Luna is a deity.

After the moon's grand entrance, may dalawang bola ng liwanag ang bumulusok pababa mula sa kalangitan. Then, as those ball of lights touched the ground, it had revealed two deities that looks exactly like Luna but wearing different colors of dresses. We saw again the Luna that had appeared few minutes ago whom was wearing a crimson gown while the other one was covered with a black and white combination. Hindi ko alam kung anong nagaganap but surely, this is very confusing. Tatlo ang katauhan ni Luna? What on earth! Ito siguro aang ibig sabihin ni Rebecca.

Walang nagsasalita sa buong paligid. Maya't maya pa, may isang lalaki at babaeng naglakad mula sa madilim ng kakahuyan papunta sa kinaroroonan ni Rebecca. Bitbit nila ang bata, bibit nila ang batang ako. Nanlaki ang mata ni Lizette at Leon. Hindi nila alam ang mga naganap. Matinding takot ang mababakas sa mukha ng aking mga magulang. As I observed, the girl and the boy, from the forest, appeared normal pero mabilis kong napansin ang mga letrang nakaukit sa mga braso nila that looks exactly like Angelo and Lucy's imprints on their arms. Both their eyes shone katulad ng kasama naming magkapatid. What on earth is happening? Wala ring umiimik sa amin. John was so focused on what was happening. Inaabangan namin ang mga susunod na magaganap.

"Since, the moon cannot meddle on our laws and wars. I will speak boldly." Rebecca declared without respect to Luna. "That is insolence! Your mouth is filled with disrespect. How dare you?" the blood moon commented. "Sinabi ko lang kung anong sinabi mo kanina, mahal na buwan. At ayon din sayo, wala kayong kasunduan na makialam sa aming mga batas. So, you are all here because of our leader's enthronement, right?" pangiinsulto ng babae. Bakas ang pagkainis sa mukha ng pulang buwan but the two other moons remained calm. Nais pa sanang sumagot ng pulang buwan but she was stopped by her companions. "Before the final tradition of sealing the leadership, there is a challenge that our tribe used to do. Matagal ng hindi ito ginagawa but I had to pull this up to finally rest my case. This is a duel between two champions. The one who will win the fight, will be crowned as the alpha of the tribe. I bet, Lizette should agree kasi kung hindi, she just proved her self as a traitor filled with greed." wika ni Rebecca. Hinamon niya ang aking ina? Hindi ba siya natatakot? My mom was the strongest among all the wolves.
