Gasping for air, frozen like a thick block of ice in a dark and creepily silent room lies a lady. Basang-basa na ang buong katawan niya ng pawis habang ang mata ay nagniningas kasabay ang misteryosong pagguhit ng marka sa kaniyang dibdib.
"I can't live like this, Raquel. Zeus died." She is hearing her own voice but was sure it wasn't her.
Wala siyang kilalang Raquel. Wala siyang kilalang Zeus ngunit ang paraan ng pagbigkas niya ng mga pangalang iyon ay bumabagabag sa kaniyang sistema. Nakakatakot. Nakakabasag ng puso.
"My heart is broken and the man to fix it is gone forever-"
"No. H-he's maybe just-"
"He's dead, Raquel. No one won this time. Hindi ikaw at hindi ako."
The cries began to get louder and clearer at mas lalo lamang nahihirapan ang babae sa kaniyang sitwasyon. Ang masamang panaginip niya ay animo ba ay totoo.
"History is quite unexpected. The twists hurt like hell."
"No. Zeus...we can resurrect him, right? Maybe we can-"
"Yes, Raquel. In the next life. And I'll be waiting for you there with Husky. Let's once again repeat history. Let's see who wins next time."
Iyon ang huling sinabi ng boses ng babaeng kapalitan niya ng pag-uusap sa kaniyang panaginip. Malabo man ang hitsura nito sa mga mata niya ay malinaw naman iyon sa kaniyang pandinig. At bago pa siya magising naag tuluyan, she heard what the voice told her.
"Right. Let's do that."
The woman then angrily wakes up as she unchained herself from a nightmare that feels like pulling her from another life. From another realm. From another world of fantasy and power. The voice is similar to hers and the aura is familiar. Palaban at nakakaintimidate but the feelings she always has whenever that nightmare visits her is always mysterious as it is. Animo ba ay may ibig itong ipahiwatig sa lahat. May nais iparating. May nais na ipakawala sa nakaraan.
"Narito po ang punong babaylan." Napalingon ito sa boses ng kaniyang alipin na kumakatok mula sa labas ng kaniyang kwarto. "Can I ask for your permission to let her in?"
Umiling ang dalaga. Sandaling napamura at napasabunot sa kaniyang sarili. Imbes na sagutin ang tanong ng kaniyang alipin ay muli na lamang itong napahiga. She screamed in pain as she remembers who she is now after she succeeds on putting on all the puzzles on her dreams.
She was once a woman whose job revolves around deaths. And now, she's a woman reincarnated to do a job in a god's name.
She's now called Klara Delos Sinne. A demoiselle of omens.
