Chapter 56: Resurrection

Chapter 56: Resurrection

“Lara… wake up…”

“Lara… you need to wake up…”

“Lara…”

Unti-unti kong iminulat ang aking mga mata dahil sa boses na naririnig ko at tila kilala ko kung sino ang may ari ng boses na ‘yon… nang imulat ko na ang mga mata ko ay nakita ko ang madilim na paligid. May liwanag na nagmumula sa akin kaya nakikita ko ang paligid pero walang hangganang kadiliman lang ito.

“Lara…”

That voice! I know who is that!

“Nixie?!” I shouted but Nixie has no response. Then, I heard my name again but the voice is different this time.

“Lara…”

I looked around to look for them but I can see nothing but endless darkness. “Penelope?! Where are you?!” I shouted again as I waited for Penelope to answer me but like Nixie, she’s also not responding.

“Listen, Lara…”

I frown when I heard a different voice again. Ano ba ang nangyayari?! “Aslan?!” I shouted but my voice just echoed. Pinaglalaruan ba ako ng mga guardians ko?!

Maya-maya pa ay nakaramdam ako ng init sa likod ko kaya dali-dali akong humarap dito ngunit bumungad sa akin ang liwanag kaya nai-harang ko ang aking braso sa aking mga mata and when the light slowly disappear, I removed my arm but I only found our that I am already in a paradise. Napa-awang ang aking mga labi ngunit ang mas hindi ko inaasahan ay ang makita ko ang aking mga guardians na nasa harapan ko na ngayon.

They are in their true form plus their golden armors. They are shining but not enough to hurt my sight. They all look powerful and superiority was shouting in them. Ngunit napakurap na lamang ako ng makita kong sabay-sabay silang nagbigay galang sa akin at ng inilibot ko ang paningin ko sa kanila at nakitang hindi lang sina Aslan ang nandito kung ‘di nandito din sina Titania at Merlia. But I noticed that Ajax is not here.

Tumayo na sila ng tuwid at sina Titania naman at Merlia ay tumakbo papalapit sa akin at niyakap ako ng mahigpit. They are in their human form but Merlia’s wings are visible. Niyakap ko din sila pabalik kahit na ako’y nagtataka.

“Lara! I missed you!” Saad ni Titania na sinundan naman ni Merlia pagkabitaw nila sa yakapan namin.

Nagtataka pa rin akong nakatingin sa kanila dahil hindi ko talaga maintindihan kung ano’ng nangyayari ngayon at kung bakit ako nandito. I am too confused that I can’t help but ask them. “A-Ahm… w-what’s happening?” Takang tanong ko sa kanila at napansin ko na lang na nawala ang ngiti ni Titania at Merlia.

Nagkatinginan pa silang lahat na para bang nag-uusap ang kanilang mga mata. Lahat sila ay seryoso hanggang sa nagsalita naman si Aslan. “Lara, you need to resurrect him…” wika ni Aslan na sobrang seryoso kaya lalong nadagdagan ang pagtataka ko.

“Who’s him?” Kunot-nuo kong tanong. I remembered now that I have been hearing that words and now that I have a chance to ask, hindi ko na patatagalin pa ito.

“A person that shouldn’t be dead,” Penelope said as she flocks her wings.

Just… who is ‘he’?

“With the power within you, you will be able to bring him to life… before the war that awaits the both of you…” Zephyr said while he has this far-away look.

War…

“You need to go back now, Lara. Go to the rebellions’ Kingdom and find him…” Arang said before I felt something is pulling me.
