Perils Of Sealed Battlefield: A Transcendent Adventure [On-Going]

Chapter 12: Children of Prophecy

Drishti Yesenia Schwanger's POV

Chiefstain Ambrose's voice echoed all over this classical-modern and magnificent palace they call Haven.

Neon told me through his Telepathy na Haven ang pangalan ng palasyong ito na saksi sa lahat ng pagbabago ng maraming nagdaang siglo. This guy knows the level of my vexation at this moment, so he spilled little answers that only add confusion to me even more.

Haven... Suggestive name.
Dati raw itong tirahan ng mga deties.

Yeah. Of course. Something to do with divine entities again.

Natulala kami saglit habang nakatayo sa harap ng malaking entablado sa malawak na bulwagang ito.

We're all mesmerised of what we're seeing and bewildered of what's happening to us right now. Who wouldn't? We all came from the outside world and all our lives we believed we're ordinary.

Orakulo? Tagapagligtas ng buong mundo?

I heard Fayre's sigh.

Of course it sounds absurd and funny... Who knows all of that are facts? I don't understand all of this. From that Project Sealveyance thing, me becoming a Half-sealed and my Dad who had sold me to that damn Aseal Institution...

Idagdag pa na kasama ko ang dalawang Most Wanted Criminals at hindi man lang ako kinikilabutan sa presensya nila. Everything seems surreal. Mula sa mga kaganapan sa Aseal Institute hanggang sa mapunta sa lugar na para bang sa panaginip lang maaaring makita.

Kanina ko pa gustong paulanan ng tanong si Chiefstain at Neon. I'm losing my sanity little by little. Kapag hahawakan ko ba ang ginintuang tungkod ni Chiefstain, malilinawan na ba talaga ako?

Pero paano nga naman malalaman kapag hindi susubukan diba? At may kakaibang pakiramdam sa loob ko na para bang gusto kong makumpirma na isa ako sa mga itinakda ng mga deities.

Because I want to be something great.
All my life I've been trying... Trying to be on the top of every war I joined.

I'm the only ace of my Academy.
Smartest heiress, they entitled me....

But I still feel like I'm nobody.

Like I was only living to do as what my Dad told me to. I have dreams that will forever remain as dreams.

Because I can't do what I wanted.
Dad opposes---Always.

And now, in this strange but beautiful place.... They told me that I was chosen to save the world.

That I am important. I am needed.

'Your existence is always important, being a Child of Prophecy or being just Drishti, it doesn't change. Your life is worthy.'

Napapikit ako sa sinabi ni Neon. Nagbabadya ng tumulo ang luha ko. Bukod kay Atasha wala ng iba pang nagsabi sa akin na importante ako.

He read my mind. I hate him for doing that, but at the same time I wanna thank him for telling me those words.

I feel a little---better.

Napatitig ako kay Neon na kay Chiefstain lang nakatingin. I can't help but stare at his face. Because his physical features resemble Atasha's very very much. Noong una ko siyang makita, akala ko nagpagupit si Atasha ng buhok sa langit at naroon sa gubat na 'yon para sunduin ako. But the voice is different. Kasi lalaki pala siya...

And he's taller than Atasha.

Maybe, same appearance between different mortals exists. Kagaya ng Orakulo na akala ko sa fantasy novels lang nangyayari.
