Mystic Identity (Magic Series #1)

- 16 -

Pinauna ko na sila sa den dahil pupunta ako sa castle manor, hindi ko matiis si Kuya Zenith eh. Sa lahat ng kapatid ko si Kuya Zenith lang ang umintindi sa mga gusto ko. "Asan si Lolo?" Tanong ko kaagad sa kanila, tinuro naman kaagad nila ang library ni Lolo.

Pumasok kaagad ako sa library, "Lolo." Napatingin naman kaagad si Lolo sa akin.

"What brings you here you should be back at the den now," Lolo said while he put the book down on the library table.

"Where's the key of Korakuen, Grandfather?" Diretsong tanong ko kay Lolo, it didn't even shock him. Did he expect me to come here or just his dragon instinct?

"Who needs it?"

"Kuya Zenith po." Tumango tango naman si Lolo, pumasok s'ya sa isang pinto sa loob ng library kaya sumunod na lang ako.

Nakita ko yung bracelet na laging suot ni Mama noon, kinuha yun ni Lolo at ibinigay sa akin. "Just make sure that your brother will be safe from arrival and departure here, tell me when he'll go so that I can come over and guard you both."

"I won't come with him. Sasamahan ko lang s'ya sa lagusan pero hindi ako kasama sa mundo ng mga tao, it will only bring a memory I shouldn't remember." Pangangatwiran ko kay Lolo, babalik lang lahat ng memorya ko na kasama si Mama.

"One year here is equivalent to five years in the human world." Lolo said causing me to glance at him for a second, "I prefer you should go after the games, go with your brother and the four prodigies. Because one day here is five days in the human world, I think a day or two will be fine."

"Don't fear your past because that made you who you are today." Hindi ko namalayan na nasa labas na kami ng palasyo, Hydra fetched me and I bid goodbye to Lolo.

"Hydra, let's go in the boundaries."

"Why?" Hydra asked still flapping.

"Just go." Wala s'yang magagawa pag ako na ang nag-utos nun, I have to do something in case I change my mind about it. I enchant magic to enhance the barrier and no one can break through, the games are held in the stadium.

Pagkatapos nun ay nagpahatig na ako sa den namin, agad namang bumungad ang mukha at tanong ni Carlos. "Where have you been? Akala ko nasa likod ka namin."

"Papasukin mo muna ako o tatamaan ka?" Binuksan naman n'ya kaagad ang pinto ng den, dumiretso na kaagad ako sa kwarto at kumuha ng damit sabay diretso sa banyo.

Pagkatapos kong maligo ay kumain na rin ako at dumiretso na kwarto, kailangan kong mag-isip kung sasama ba ako o hindi. Umupo ako sa harap ng salamin at kinuha ko ang hair stick ko, nakita ko sa salaming na nagbago ang kulay ng mata ko. 

It was the same eye color that I saw from King Charon's eye and the mystic magic of every mystic mage. I know that he is my father but we can't do anything for now. I can't even call him Papa when he is in fact, my real father.

After a single blink, the color of my eye turned back to normal. No one can have an eye color like the mystic mages unless he or she is born from the Mystic Kingdom or has a Mystic parent and another parent from another kingdom. The Celestial and Mystic Kingdom are both using a portal to pass through their kingdom, I need to talk to King Charon after the games.

"Emerald." Nagulat naman ako dahil hindi man lang s'ya nakatok, kay Carlos ako mamamatay pag nagkataon.

"Bakit?" Inis akong humarap sa kanya. "Gusto mo ba agad akong mamatay?"

"Zenith's outside, in the living room." Kinuha ko ang susi ng Korakuen na kailangan ni Kuya, hindi ko alam kung kailangan n'ya ng kasama. Nung sinuot ko ang susi sa kamay naging bracelet lang yun, I was really expecting that. Lumabas na ako ng kwarto.
