Ephraim
Two weeks had passed since the encounter at Mt. Safforon and everyone have been on edge particularly in training.
Lady Exia seems to be doing fine just like everybody else.
I hardly catch my breath after holding up my barrier for about thirty minutes. Damn! I'm already at my limit!
Using this defense spell is so hard for me. Now that Lady Merill is gone, I need to bolster up my magic to fulfill the gap she left.
"Nope! It's still not enough! More! I need to do more!" I mumbled to myself and started again the spell.
I need to do better than this or else...
Or else I don't have the right to remain as a member of the Towers or even call myself a blazer.
I need to be stronger in order for me to reach everyone's expectations! I don't have the world's time to slack off.
"More!"
I need to do more to prove to everyone that I am not a bad person. That in some way, I could be useful, too.
More!
More!
Keep pushing even if you lose all your breath!
This damn thing called limitation is just a piece of crap! I am the only one who can decide if my capabilities are already in the sideline!
More!
"That's enough!"
More!
"I said, that's enough, Ephraim!"
Wala sa sariling itinigil ko ang aking ginagawa. Habol ang hiningang tiningnan ko ang taong sumigaw mula sa likuran ko.
"What?!" Inis na bulyaw ko.
"Calm down." Nanlalaki ang mga matang tugon ng lalaking nasa likod ko. Kinamot niya ang kaniyang batok saka iniiwas ang tingin sa'kin.
"S-sir Thormund."
Huh?
What am I doing?
What is wrong with me?
"What's going on here, Thormund?" Si Sir Kage ng makalapit sa kinaroroonan namin.
"Are you okay, Ephraim?" Lady Exia asked.
The look on her face is full of concern. Ilang sandali pa ay naroon na ang iba pang miyembro ng Tower.
What have I done? I'm really stupid!
"Nothing's wrong. Bakit lumapit kayo? Kayo talagang lahat?" Sir Thormund said in sarcasm.
"Bawal maki-usyoso? Ang damot mo naman kung ganun!" Sir Kage replied.
"Ephraim?" Muling pagtawag ni Lady Exia sa'kin. Wala sa sarili akong tumingin sa kaniya. Hindi ko pa rin siya binibigyan ng tugon.
"What's the matter? Mukhang wala ka sa sarili mo." Dugtong ni Lady Sierra na mas lalong ikinatigil ko.
Am I losing my mind?
Napatawa ako sa loob ng isip ko.
Nababaliw na ata talaga ako.
Baliw na ako kung iisipin kong kaya kong maging malakas.
There is no way in hell that I can be a stronger blazer no matter how hard I try because in the first place, I was never been strong.
I am still caged in my past and still unable to let go.
