The Villainess' Resolve

chapter twenty six: crypton & crystal

[Scarlet's POV]

As what it's name indicates. This island is coated with mana, from the trees to the animals, and deep within the grounds. These energy known as mana, can boost your magical mulicule that will allow you to use magic.

In the book, magic and magician's are rare. Scarlet being greedy for attention wanted to have this island for her to use and become a magician for her own good and popularity.

But due to some circumstances, she failed to have this island in her hands up until the day she died. In this timeline, I really don't need that island as Scarlet. I really don't want to have any sort of power because, that's a little bit tiring.

I have one goal in mind, that is to have a happy ending without dying.

'Oh wait… I guess I do need a power to live and have a happy ending!'

But anyways, mother luck seems to be on my side and with the help of the scariest event and a horrifying one, I get to acquired this island, as a winning prize.

The island is what I told the emperor that I want. Good thing that guy didn't questioned me and just agreed to it. The real reason why I decided to own this island that the past Scarlet failed to have, is because the quantroplets will train their bodies and learn magic.

In the original book, the author surprised us with a fourteen year old Latte playing with fire right after her aunt/mother died. Lineal on the other day froze almost half of the palace with his ice magic that he failed to control. Reg with a quite personality finally up roared and turn into a beast… a mutant would be an appropriate term. While Kaiser who's always reading book find himself floating with the books inside the royal library.

When the powers aren't in control, there might be a huge possibility that you'll lose your mind and just… destroy everything around you. And that what exactly happened to the quantroplets as their heart broke, the little bit of patient and sanity in them, also broke.

And in order to avoid that kind of circumstances that will eventually lead to a disastrous ending, I need to create a solution for them.

I supposed I can use this island, but the quantroplets need this more than I do. And if I don't hear give this to them, then there might be a big chance I won't get the happy, peaceful, and beautiful ending I want… with me still breathing.

"We have arrived, your grace." nabaling ang aking tingin kay Gallen nang magsalita ito. Nang tumingin ako sa likuran nito ay nakita ko ang isang malaking isla na pinalilibutan nang tila ba parang mga aninipot.

"Aren't we supposed to go to the island, Gallen?" nagtatakang tanong ko kay Gallen sapagkat medyo malayo-layo pa ang isla ngunit tumigil na kami't bumaba na si Gallen.

"I'm afraid we cannot, your grace. The island is covered with a magical barrier. And that barrier doesn't allow any vehicle nor dead people to enter." sagot nito sa akin habang naka-yuko pa rin. Tinanguan ko nalamang ito bago tumingin sa mga bata na mukhang excited na.

Binuksan ko ang pintuan ng karwahe at naunang lumabas. Sumunod namang lumabas si Destiny at inalalayang bumaba ang apat na bata. Tumalon-talon ang apat dahil sa pagkasabik nang makita nila ang malaking isla.

"Are we really going there Mom?" tumingin ako kay Lineal nang magtanong ito. Binigyan ko siya nang isang ngiti bago tumango.

"Yes, Lineal. You guys will learn swordsmanship and magic, in there. Are you guys ready?" may ngiting tanong ko at tumingin na rin sa tatlo para hingin din ang kanilang sagot.

Nagsitinginan naman ang mga ito at sabay-sabay na nagsitanguan. Napatawa naman ako ng mahina bago tumayo nang tuwid at inanyayahan silang magtungo na sa isla.

Halos 10 minuto ang aming nilakad bago kami nakarating sa harapan ng isla. Mayroong itong malaking gate at bagaman walang pintuan ay kitang-kita naman ang gintung halang dito. Ito ata ang tinutukoy ni Gallen na barrier.

Naunang pumasok si Destiny at Gallen pati na rin ang kasama naming tagapagsilbi upang tingnan at masiguro kong ligtas ba ang tumalak sa isla. Nang masiguro ng mga ito na ligtas nga ay mabilis namang tumakbo si Reg at Lineal papasok. Medyo nagulat ako sa kanilang ginawa kong kaya't mabilis kong inabot ang kamay ni Reg upang pigilan ito ngunit hindi nakapasok ang aking kamay sa loob ng barrier.

Gulat akong napatingin sa aking mga kamay bago sa masayang si Reg at Lineal. Mabuti nalamang at walang nakakita nang pangyayaring iyon, kung mayroon man ay paniguradong kwe-kwestyunin ako.

Tumingin ako kay Kaiser na malamig kamabg nakatingin sa dalawa niyang kapatid na masayang nag-uusap sa kabilang bahagi ng barrier. Agad ko siyang kinarga at lakas loob na pumasok.

Nakapikit pa ang aking mga mata habang tumatawid ako't pagdilat ko ay wala na ang aking mga kasama't nasa ibang lugar na ako.

"Hala nasaan ako?!" gulat na tanong ko sa kawalan habang nililibot ng tingin ang aking paligid.

"That's her sister."

"Yes, an unknown entity has entered our home."

Nagulantang ako sa aking kina-tatayuan at muntikan ng matumba nang bigla nalamang mayroong nagsalita sa aking likuran.

"You scared me! Do you guys wanted me to die?!" galit na sigaw ko sa mga nagsalita habang nakahawak sa aking dibdib. Ngunit nang makita kong mga bata ito ay kumalma ako at tumingin sa kanila.

"You're dead. You're not supposed to be here." seryosong lintaya nang batang lalaki. Napakunot naman ang aking noo dahil sa kaniyang sinabi.

"What do you mean?" nagtatakang tanong ko.

"Your dead. And you will also die, soon." tumaas ang aking balahibo sa sinabi ng batang babae na katabi ng batang lalaki.

Bukod pa sa nakakatakot nilang mga mata na purong kulay puti ang sa babae't purong itim naman ang sa lalaki, ang paraan nang kanilang pagkakasabi ay talaga namang nakakakilabot. Pakiramdam ko ay kilalang-kilala ako ng mga ito.

"Who are you guys anyway? And what do you mean?" nagtatakang tanong ko sa dalawa at unti-unti na ring nakaramdam nang takot. Nagtinginan naman ang dalawa bago muling tumingin sa akin.

"I am Crypton, the one who can see the past." pagpapakilala ng batang lalaki.

"I am Crystal, a seer." sunod na pakilala naman ng babae.

Napakunot ang aking noo dahil sa kanilang mga sinabi. A twin, one who can see the past, and one who can see the future? Is this really true? Why am I here? Why are they telling me this?

"And we are the twin of fate who's guarding this island."
