Cardinals

Siblings

Credits to the artist. Again all the pictures and arts are from pinterest and i take no claim to them all credits are for the artist.
Enchanta is a fictional language use in one of the fantasy series in the Philippines. Some gods and goddesses are borrowed from different myths(* cause I am a sucker for myth stories*) while some are made up(* this is my book and this is fiction*). Most of the characters i have are naturally halfbreed. Magic is an everyday thing for this world. Even males are capable of pregnacy in this world except if you're a beta male. This book may have violence, smut, strong language, and mature content.
Lastly enjoy. 💙💙💙💙

Lala's POV

''Warka? Wala ka ayhan nagsala sang gina tawag nga warka Arikotóy?'' ( Witch? Aren't mistaking who you're call a witch Small one?) She sneered at me and revealed her form to me. She's clothed in her hunting gears with just her slim blade barely showing from her back and a pair or knife of two sizes in both her thighs and for sure there's a lot more on her belt loop pouch. On her feet a tie sock that looks like it will rip anytime but the material is stronger than what it looks like. A good quality of hunting cloths, makes less marks, almost unreadable if any is left. I demanded for my sister to make a lot, I mean A LOT, when we completed the designs and all the tests we see fit for our own satisfaction since it will be us that will benefit from it. Staring her in the eyes again, I notice that it's on her natural cognac color and I sighed happily opening my arms for a hug which she happily took.

''Ivi musti paneya, Vensa apwe.'' (I'm hungry , beloved sister.) I sighed as I took her hand and started to walk back to the dining hall dragging her weak body. ''Haitham Ado kon. (Let's ask Pa first.)But before we feed you anything. I don't know anything yet but later this evening the trackers will give their reports.''

''How's training so far Lala? Are almost done?" She asked. I'm wondering why she came here when she can always asked her aide to send her words.

''Ilantre enma dama?" (Where's your aide?). Changing the subject. ''You never visit without sending one of your hangawây (guards)to the area unless it's sometging personal.'' I pointed out.

She scratched the back of her head and smiled sheepishly . ''I wanted to ask your Ado to release and let you comw with me.'' Realization dawned to me.

''Is it the time of the year?" She nodded shyly. ''Let's go have you eat something first. Feeding you is top priority before you faint her.'' I joke while dragging her to my father's office instead. I tried to send a series of orders while picturing the kitchen. I know the older ones will get it and they would start talking on the food they will serve. It's nice having this telepathic abilities sometimes.

💙💙💙💙

''Have you decided the date of your departure?'' Ado asked as he enters my room and sees me packing my things.

''You won't stop me?''

''I can't stop you Lala. This is your responsibility as a Cardinal Keeper. Not everyone in this town know that but for me and your mother we will always be here to wait for you and to welcome you. Loving you as who you relly are made all of this easier and yu not keeping your identity to us made us love you more.'' Hugged me tightly.

''E corrié diu Ado'' (I love you Pa). Hugging back.

''You must finish this work and open only the Seals you need. Every cachet is dangerous on its own but mixed with another on the same body is deadly even for you.''

I know this but to die is a wish that was denied as many time we ask. The gods and goddesses played and we were the toys they didnt want destroyed. I have to stop my self from thinking about these useless thoughts.

''Don't worry too much Pa I be back here in no time. You even miss me so much.'' I beamed my smile to him. And he sighed heavily on that.

''When is it again?"

''We'll stay here for the next three days then we'll head to Ináng's cottage.'' I explained.

''And from there?''

''I dont know. We will plan things put when where there.''

''Yangne avi dué acrimeya avoya adi vensa arksha.'' (I wish you a safe journey my beloved daughter). ''Rest tonight and I will tell the hangawáy kosma (head guard) to put some men to send you off to the boundry.''

''Opo Ado. Masne sera Rama, adi Ado.'' (Yes Pa. Peaceful night King, my father.) I smiled sadly.

He grunted a reply and went out. My sister is fast asleep on the other bed base on her heartbeat. She was exhausted with her journey to get here and I had to forced her to take a bath to wait for the food the kitchen prepared for us. Once dinner was serve she happily chow it down made my father laugh watching her but she almost dozed off not long after. Tomorrow we have to make sure we are ready for leaving once the sun sets.

💙💙💙💙

''Masne sera Apwe?'' (Slept well Sister?).

''Uh huh. Ade (You)?"

''Yeah. You ready? I only told Ado a different time of departure but the meet up place.''

''Let's change that once we start with the travel. I heard Alice is in Sirena's care now. We have to leave everything and change our cloths and gears on the next town. We'll decide the details once we are out of our raiment.''

''That sounds like a plan. How are you holding up so far,Hatsuki?" I ask calmly.

''Worried again Manáng? (Big sister).'' Naming me satiriclywith that stupid grin on her face.

''Of course.''

''I can still hold it down. As long as I dont go to any temples or branches of the Academy. It's a good thing that Alice left the main campus of the Academy.''

''I hate it that Ináng has to step down. Now the whole system is in chaos and the innocent ones are suffering and will probably suffer some more once this all is cleared out.''

''We can't do everything at once Lala. I was having the time of my life with my new mortal partner when i felt this change and later on receive the notice from Mangayan.''

''Wow you still enjoy playing house with mortals huh. I thought it will pass, seems it became your sad habit.''

''You can't blame me Lala unlike you alice and our brother I have been unlucky with my soulmate as a mortal but I'll wait for his soul to be back and enjoy his company again.''

''So romantic. I'm proud of you and prouder to be a sibling to you even if not by blood.''

''Hahahahahaha. This gone from planning a journey to awkward declaration of loyalty? Let's go eat. Ivi musti paneya. '' and she started to giddily heads to the kitchen instead of the dinning hall. I followed her happily.

💙💙💙💙

I use a few of my local dialect aside from the enchanta and I really enjoy this. Slow as it may seem but I'll have Lala's partner introduce and maybe Alice's as well. To clear up some connection on the Cardinals and on the gifts as well.
