Lantria Supremo De Luna

Kabanata 17: Dorm mate

Dyna's POV

Roaming around the Philippines as a stray ghost is not new on me. I've spent 100 years strolling on different places and meet some ghost and mythical creatures since the day my life is taken away. I did'nt expect that I will feel this vague sadness inside of me. Sabihin na nating, isa akong multo, isang kaluluwa. Pero nakakaramdam pa rin ako. Hindi ako isang ordinaryong kaluluwa dahil may ilang creatures na kaya akong patayin.

Let's just say, double kill.

Mula sa rooftop ng university ay tinanaw ko ang mga studyanteng kasalukuyang tumatambay sa iba't-ibang lugar ng campus na ito. I watch their breath combine with the air around. How I wish I am alive.

2 weeks na mula ng nagpunta si Luna sa Lantria. I always think of her, Is she alright there? Is she eat her meal appropriately? Is she not in danger? Dito sa mundo ng mga tao, matagal na ang two weeks. Ngunit ibahin mo sa Lantria. 2 weeks is just one day there.

"Sabi na nga ba at nandito ka."

Lumingon ako sa nagsalita mula sa aking likuran. I saw the twins smiling at me. Umupo ang dalawa sa railing ng rooftop, isang metro ang layo sa akin. Palagi kaming ganito. Simula ng umalis si Luna, lagi na kaming ganito. We always went here, meditating, and feel the natures presence around us. Luna became the most important person on our lives ever since we know that she is the chosen warrior. Nakakainis lamang dahil ang pagiging guardian namin ay nagtapos ng mag-desisyon na siyang pumunta ng Lantria.

"Galin invited us for dinner. Hihintayin niya daw tayo mamaya sa mansyon."

Mina said excitedly. Di ko maitatangging close sila ni Galin habang kami naman ni Mike ay laging nakikipag-bangayan sa lalaking iyon. But we became friends.

"Hey, let's talk about us, being Luna's guardian. Tapos na ba talaga ang duty natin?"

Seryoso kong anas na nakapag-patigil sa dalawa. Mina look above the sky while Mike's face became soft. Alam ko ang nararamdaman nila ngayon. They feel the same feeling I feel.

"You know the rules of being a guardian Dyna, your a guardian before you die right?"

Lihim kong naikuyom ang aking kamay. Nag-flash na naman sa aking isipan ang mga nangyari noong may buhay pa ako.

Muling nagsalita si Mina.

"According to the book of Lewbre (Lantria's ancient book of Laws), a guardian's duty will end once the chosen warrior went on Lantria to fulfill her duties and fate."

Napatango-tango naman si Mike. I tsk.

"Damn that rule. What if I want to break it? Mapaparusahan ba ako?"

"Kasalukuyan mo na ngang nararanasan ang parusa, gusto mo pang dagdagan ang paghihirap mo?" Mike muttered that made Mina look at me confused.

"Why? Did you break the rule on the past?"

She ask curiously. I heaved a sigh and get some cloud on the sky and make a dancing ballerina.

"Yeah, I break the rules. But I'm not the only one."

Being a guardian is never been easy, mostly when the one you guard the most is very stubborn, little brat that had some kind of duality. I chuckled at the thought. Naalala ko na naman.

"What if we follow Luna on Lantria? Sasama ba kayo sa akin?"

Mike tsk and smack the back of my head.

"Wag mo nga kaming idamay sa kalokohan mo. Alam mong hindi tayo makakapasok doon. Walang silbi ang mga kakayahan natin sa mahikang nababalot sa Lantria."
