Mystic Identity (Magic Series #1)

- 17 -

"Emerald, what's wrong?" I shook my head, if Tita Celestia foresees a war, then that means may binabalak ang Lions.

"Emerald, continue what you were saying a while ago. I need to know the truth," Kuya Zenith urged me to tell him everything. I created our own space, ako lang at si Kuya Zenith. I can't risk the others with this information.

"Ba't hindi natin sila isama?"

"Mas maganda kung tayo lang dalawa, Kuya," tumango na lang s'ya sa sinabi ko, "About the voice that is always in our dreams, it was King Charon."

"And he was in front of us earlier!? Emerald if you're only joking, aalis na ako. Forget about the key," He furiously said, alam ko namang hindi s'ya maniniwala.

"Alam ko namang hindi ka maniniwala eh, but that's the truth. Look at your necklace," napatingin s'ya sa kwintas n'ya, "And look at mine," he looked at my necklace, tinanggal ko 'yon. It matched with his necklace.

He was dumbfounded, "I don't get it, what does this have to do with King Charon being our father?"

"Because that necklace contains mystic magic," humarap ako sa likod, it was Tito Kurien.

"No way,"

"Kahit ako, alam ko kung ilan ang anak ni Charon," he looked at me and back to Kuya, his eyes are closed. "You're one of them."

"Eh kung ganun bakit wala s'yang ginagawa to save me and my brothers? Dahil sigurado naman ako na kung anak n'ya ako, anak din n'ya ang mga kapatid ko."

"Because all of you are claimed by a Lion." Sabi ko na eh, this is the curse of being claimed as a Lion. "Kaya tama lang ang ginawa ni Emerald, she removed Kenneth's surname in her name. Now, she can only be claimed by your mother and no one else,"

"No way,"

"Don't worry, malapit na. Malapit na kayong magkasama-sama ulit, nang buo at wala ng panggulo." The space that I created was gone in a puff.

"Matulog ka na, I'll just digest it pero tutuloy tayo. Tuloy ang plano ko," I nod at him, he kissed me on my forehead.

"Ingat ka, Kuya."

Hindi ako nakatulog dahil sa nangyari, I woke up late because of it buti na lang nakaabot kami bago magsimula ang games. Today's event is a tag team battle, the dragons already win against the Celestial. It was a long battle but the Dragon ended up as the winner.

Wala ako sa mood to see what's happening down but there's only one thing I can say, they aren't synced. 

I looked at Papa and he also looked at me when he noticed it, "What's the matter?"

"Can I talk to you after the games?"

"Pwede naman ngayon, I'll create a space for the two of us and I'll create your replica and mine para hindi nila mahalata."

"Sige po," The moment I agreed nakagawa na agad s'ya ng space naming dalawa.

"What's bothering you?" I can't looked him in the eye dahil sa sinabi ni Tito Kurien, "Tell me, I don't want to invade your privacy baka may makita pa ako."

"What does Tito Kurien means by that? Na malapit na raw ulit tayong mabuo but you said that Tita Celestia foresees a war? Naguguluhan ako,"

Huminga s'ya ng malalim bago magsaliita, "I guess there's no hiding," lumapit s'ya sa akin at kinuha ang kamay ko, "Malapit ko na makita ang kaluluwa ni Aquamarine, remember what I told you?"
