Tale of Santuaria: Sunrise and Moonlight (UNEDITED)

CHAPTER FOUR

Katana Luna Silvyria

WHEN I heard someone called my name, I opened my eyes and I was surprised to find myself somewhere else.

What exactly am I doing here? Bakit wala ako sa bahay nila Hal...Ha...Hazy? Basta 'yong panganay at Abianna? Ada?Ab....Ab urgh! Fuck! Basta 'yong dalawang mag kapatid.

Where am I?

My face was filled with admiration as I looked around. This location is surrounded by a variety of colorful flowers, a rainbow-colored sky, and numerous flying fireflies.

Eh? Alitaptap sa umaga? So weird! What’s so strange about that? I'm in Santuaria, which is full of strange things.

“Katana...” Sinundan ko kung saan nanggagaling ang tinig na iyon. Hmm, sino kaya 'yon? That voice is like a wind.

“Who are you?” Tanong ko sa babaeng nakatalikod sa 'kin, she was dressed in a foot-tall golden gown that was glowing. Its curly hair was waist-length and shiny. Humarap siya sa akin. She was stunning, she resembled a goddess, and what drew my attention the most were her eyes, they are so meek that they're golden, and her eyes are so full of longing that it makes me wonder.

“Finally, nagkaharap din tayo.” Ang tinig talaga niya ay sadyang napakalambing at kalmado.

Nakagagaan ng pakiramdam, hindi ko alam kung bakit ganito ang nararamdaman ko pero sobrang gaan ng loob ko sa kan‘ya. I suddenly miss Mom.

“Sino ka ba?” Seryoso kong tanong sa kaniya, matamis naman siyang ngumiti bago sumagot.

“Isang kaibigan,” Sagot nito sa 'kin.

A friend?

“How did I get here, Miss?” Ngumiti ulit siya, tumalikod ito at nang bumaling 'to sa akin ay may hawak na siyang tela at ispada. When I realized the sword was a Katana/Samurai, my lips quivered. 

That's my favorite weapon!

“This is a small gift for you, Katana.” Wika niya saka inabot sa 'kin ang mga hawak nito. Nang mahawakan ko ang tela, napag-alaman kong isa itong cloak, that when you wear it, your body is completely wrapped up, its hood conceals your face and only your eyes are visible, its color is black, and its cape bears the halfmoon symbol.

The Katana Sword were the next thing it handed me, and when I got my hands on it, my eyes widened as it caught fire.

W-wow! That...that is incredible! A sword on fire?!

“It is automatically worn when you turn right. The cloak vanishes automatically when you turn left,” Totoo kaya 'yon? Baka naman niloloko lang ako ni ateng mukhang dyosa?

“Why don't you try?” Wika niya, napakunot-noo naman ako. Can she read my mind? Hmm, hindi na nakapagtataka 'yan. I did what she said and turned right.

“Damn!” Because of my cursing, I covered my mouth. Nakakagulat naman kasi!

So, ayon na nga, suot ko na ang cloak kaya naman umikot ulit ako pakaliwa then ayon nag laho na ang cloak. Kinuha niya sa 'kin ang espada at itinapat sa 'king kaliwang balikat, gano’n na lang ang aking gulat ng bigla'y ang ispada ay naging isang tatto na nakadikit na sa kaliwang balikat ko.

“When you place your palm on that mark, the sword will appear.” I nodded as she explained it to me.

So cool!
