Chapter 69 - Divine Magic

A few months before the war.....

Ana

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko dahil sa pagkamangha nang lumabas na kami sa portal na ginawa ni Ate Happy. A very big chandelier, a very expensive looking staircase and a very big portraits in the wall. The place screams so much expensiveness. Walang-wala ang bahay namin sa kabilang mundo kumpara sa lugar kung nasaan kami ngayon.

"Who's place is this?" nakakunot-noong tanong ni Calli kay Ate Happy. "Mine" casual na sagot naman ni Ate Happy. Hindi ako makapaniwalang napatingin sa kanya. She owns this place? This very huge place?

"Mayaman ka?" tanong ko din. Umiling naman siya.

"Not really, this is just the result of my hard work. I usually don't stay in this place, doon ako sa mansion ng mama ko na ipinamana niya sa akin." Aniya. May mansion pa siya? How rich is she? Bakit ngayon lang niya kami pinapunta dito kung ganitong bahay naman ang tutuluyan namin.

"Ikaw lang ba dito?" tanong ni Calli na mukhang na-overwhelmed sa laki ng bahay, kung bahay pa ba itong matatawag.

"Yes, just like what I said, I don't stay in this place often pero may bumibisita naman at naglilinis" sagot ni Ate Happy. "Anyway, sumunod kayo sa akin" dagdag niya at lumakad. Sinundan naman namin siya hanggang sa pumasok siya sa isang silid. The room is filled with so many books and in the corner, there was a table and a chair. Umupo siya doon at may kinuha sa ilalim ng mesa. Pinaupo niya din kami sa bakanteng upuan sa harap ng mesa.

Ibinigay niya sa amin ang isang folder at binuksan namin iyon. I read the name Ana Fuery and a bit of information about this girl. Walang picture niya kaya napakunot noo ako at napatingin kay Ate Happy.

"Calli Elric? Who's this?" tanong ni Calli. I also said mine. "Sino din si Ana Fuery? Why are their names similar to us?"

"That name will be your name once you go to Aesthia Academy, it's a school for someone like us. With powers and mind you, this place is very different compared to the world you used to live" wika ni Ate Happy. It means there are many people like us with power. Totoo nga talaga ang sinabi sa amin ni Tita Mommy noong bata pa kami. I really thought Tita Mommy just made it up para hindi kami mag-isip ng masama tungkol sa sarili namin.

"Why do we have to use different name? I'll just use Callissa Marie" ani Calli. Umiling naman si Ate Happy.

"We need to keep your identity hidden" Napakunot noo kami ni Calli dahil sa sinabi niya. Why would we keep our identity hidden? May banta ba sa buhay namin o ano? Isn't it weird? Saka Anong pinagkakaiba sa pangalan ko eh Ana parin naman ang ibinigay niya.

"I know there are lots of questions in your mind but I won't answer it, hahayaan ko kayo na madiskubre ito." Dagdag pa niya. What the heck? Anong ibig niyang sabihin doon? Are we some kind of VIP in this world?

"Anyway, I wanted to discuss something with you, it's a plan that I made a long time ago. I want you guys to just act like a normal student in the academy and sniff out some suspicious person. Base sa nakuha kong impormasyon mula sa nakatataas, may nakapasok na estudyanteng nagtatrabaho para sa mga black meister. I think that someone wants to get the very important item hidden inside the academy." Mahabang wika niya. Tumango naman kami. I think its just an easy mission.

"Atsaka, habang nandoon kayo, I want you to enjoy yourselves 'cause in the future we might face something dangerous" she softly said. Minsan lang siya ganyan, kapag naglalambing lang sa amin. She always treat us like kids that's why she's like that and I don't mind. She gives me books that I wanted so it's fine. I know I'm taking advantage and she knows it pero hindi naman siya nagrereklamo kaya okay lang.
