Heleina Cross Academy of Magic Part III: Alta Guild

Chapter Seventy: Heist

Third Person Point of View

"How is she?"

"The healers said that there's nothing wrong with her. Whatever happened a while ago can only be explained by Nia herself. For now, let's just wait until she wakes up."

Hindi din naman nagtagal ay unti-unting nagmulat ng kanyang mga mata ang dalagang nakahiga sa kama. Wala na itong nararamdamang kahit anong kakaiba katulad ng naramdaman nito bago ito mawalan ng malay.

Helios was the first one to notice dahil mula kanina ay halos hindi nito inalis ang paningin nito sa kasintahan.

"Hey. I'm glad you're already awake. What do you feel?" Tarantang tanong nito as he check Nia's body for any further injury or damage.

"I'm fine Hel." Mahinang sagot naman ng dalaga na titig na titig ngayon sa mukha ni Helios na kasalukuyang binabalot parin ng pag-aalala kahit pa ba kasasabi lang ni Ireneia na okay na ito. He just can't help but to feel worried though. Grabeng kaba kasi ang naramdaman nito habang nakikitang nasasaktan ang babaeng pinakamamahal. It pained him seeing her in so much hurt but it pained him even more dahil wala syang magawa para alisin ang nararamdamang iyon ni Ireneia.

"What happened Nia?" Helios asked bago naupo sa tabi ng kama ni Nia. He reached out for her hand and held it firmly in between his.

"I don't exactly know what happened. Okay naman ako bago ako bumaba ng barko. It just happened all of a sudden. First, I felt a searing pain in my head and then followed by a static. The next thing I knew, I'm feeling so many energies. Ramdam na ramdam ko ang enerhiya ng bawat mage sa paligid like as if I'm using my immitating ability. But I know it was different. It felt different Hel. I felt like a magnet before I passed out. Energies were drawn to where I was standing and that's why I passed out. I can't take it. I'm not strong enough to take that much energy all at once." Nalilitong paliwanag ng dalaga na ikinatingin naman ni Helios kay Kairo na nakasandal sa hamba ng pintuan. Masyado itong lunod sa pakikinig kaya hindi nito agad napansin na nakatingin na si Helios sakanya. It was until Helios decided to get his attention by throwing him a dark ball that he finally noticed him.

"Sino sa tingin mo ang pwedeng lapitan natin to consult this through?"

"Hmm. We have a seer. I don't know kung makakatulong sya sa nangyari kay Nia but there's no harm in trying right?" Kairo answered before leaving para mapuntahan ang seer na tinutukoy nito na maaring makatulong sa dalaga.

"Lieutenant General Lukas! May dark mages pong nanggugulo ngayon sa Hile Cross!" Anunsyo ng isang warrior na naging dahilan upang galit na mapatayo sa kinauupuan nito si Lukas.

"Paano nakapasok sa barrier ang mga asungot na iyon?" Pikon na litanya nito before marching outside his office to deal with the situation.

"What's the situation there? May mga warriors na bang dispatched sa area of attack?"

"May iilan na po Sir. Ngunit sa tingin ho ni Major Calix ay hindi pa yun sapat. Malalakas ang dark mages na sumugod sa Hile Cross Sir. Sampu lahat ang bilang nila, dalawa doon ay assasin at tatlo naman ang reaper base sa kasuotan ng mga ito." Lukas gritted his teeth before commandind the warrior to dispatch the elite team na agad namang sinunod nito. Lukas, on the other hand, rode his horse na nakatali sa isang kahoy sa labas ng main cabin at pinatakbo yun papunta sa Hile Cross.
