Tale Of Descendants

10: REMINISCING THE DARKNESS

10: REMINISCING THE DARKNESS

Sometimes, we need to blind ourselves. So that the truth can’t affect us. That truth is the light in our darkness. But we can’t just accept the fact. So instead of relishing the light, turning it off is the only way to hide it. Accept the darkness than receiving the light. In the darkness that you can’t see what’s going on in the present and what might happen in the future. Only darkness you’ll know, will cherish you in every single moment. The darkness is just beside you. Ready to comfort you.

Hindi ko binigay kay MCT ang sinasabi niyang key. The stone. I can’t give it. I don’t know but it seems I have a strong bond in that stone. That I can’t give it to anyone. It feels like the first time I saw it, there’s an electrifying connection between me and that stone. When MCT told me that he needs the stone, I instantly run out of that Curse forest. Hindi na ko nagpaalam sa kanya. Umalis na lang ako roon na para bang may pinoprotektahan.

It's confusing.

Another one, he knew my fathers. He knew something on me. He knew something that me, myself, doesn’t. And its mystifying. Who the hell is he? How the hell he knows me? About my family? How the fvck up he knew that I stole the stone? is he stalking me? Following me? Studying my acts? Unti unti akong nabalot ng takot. What if someone wants to kill me? Again? What if… no, there’s no way they can kill Diamond Entlise Arvento Dilleon. In the world of evils, I am the Diamond.

No one.

Maaga akong nagising. Friday na and this is my last day. After the class today, tomorrow the Deltas and I will go outside, out of Sellena High Academy. To accomplish Mrs. Beltran’s favor.

“Saturday, I want you to be with the Deltas.” She said.

“Ano naman gagawin namin?”

“You’ll be undertaking a mission. I want you to be with them. Help them.” She sighed. “Tutulungan mo sila sa isang mission, that’s my last favor before you leave Sellena. I need you to find the two Descendants in the Mortal World.”

“Seriously? Meron naman na kayong ibang Descendants ah. Bakit naghahanap pa kayo ng iba?”

“No. Descendants of Peiya’s deities are rare. We don’t know how many descendants have the deities but approximately, there are ten Descendants for a ten Deities. We already have seven includes you, and we need to find the other three. The time before you enter the Sellena High is the time where the stones pop up out of nowhere. That’s the reason kung bakit wala ako sa Sellena high nitong nakaraang araw. We’re busy finding an answer. Peiya’s riddle game is such an important thing in our worlds.”

“When we realize that the riddles are pertaining to the mortal world and to the Descendants, pini-postpone namin ang pagdating sa Lavennia. Where Sellena High Academy originally located. We are desperate to find the Descendants. At pagsama-samahin sila rito sa Sellena High. When the Deities vanished, we given a task to take care of the Descendants. Sa halos ilang taong paghahanap namin, we found the six Descendants. But unfortunately, sa Lavennia at Hellerno lamang sila nanggaling. We couldn’t find a Descendants in the Mortal world. Your world is huge.”

“And we’re surprise when a stone pop up out of nowhere. Pop up while the Sellena High are still in the Mortal World taking a summer vacation. This is the first time we receive a stone while we’re here. And the next thing we knew, you transferred on our school. Dahil sayo, nabigyan ng daan ang iba pang Descendants sa Mortal world na mahanap. We’re given a clue. A such helpful clue. So I need you to help them, marami kang nalalaman sa mundo niyo, sa mundong pinagmulan mo.”

“Ano namang mapapala ko sa mga ‘yan?”

“A glimpse of truth.”

I furrowed. “What do you mean?”
