Lantria Supremo De Luna

Kabanata 55: Eklipso

Luna's POV

7:00 pm.

It's already dark again. Panandalian lamang sumikat ang araw kanina dahil nang magkamalay muli ang masamang parte ni Elona ay dumilim muli ang kalangitan.

Patuloy na nagwawala sa loob ng pananggalang na ginawang kulungan ang masamang parte ni Elona. Nagsisisigaw ito na pakawalan siya pagkatapos ay parang baliw na tatawa. Hindi namin siya pinapansin.

Handa na ang bilog ng buhay at nakatuntong na dito sina ina, ama, Kapitan Lucas, Mina (Aramina), at si Akiya. Habang sina Gelo, Jeter, Ela, Eliko at si Heneral Lazarus ay pinapagtibay pang lalo ang pananggalang na nakapaligid sa masamang Elona upang hindi ito makawala.

I glance at the blood moon. Makikita na sa ibaba ng buwan ang unti-unting pagdilim ng parteng iyon. Magsisimula na.

"Remember the order that I give to you?", Leo asked while standing beside me looking at the moon, "Don't die," dugtong pa niya. I chuckle. Of course, I know.

"The moon is beautiful isn't it?", I muttered and look at him in the eye, his eyes became wide,

He's blushing. Maybe because he knows what I mean. I chuckle because of his reaction. Pulang-pula ang kanyang mukha habang umiiwas ng tingin sa akin. How adorable.

"The eclipse already started, you must stay safe and go to your place," saad ko sa kanya at itinuro ko ang himpapawid.

"Yeah right, I almost forgot. Obey my order Luna, please," seryoso niyang saad habang nakatingin sa aking mga mata. I smiled and cares his face.

"Masusunod...aking heneral," sambit ko at mabilis na binigyan siya ng halik sa pisnge. He smiled and float on the air. Pinanood ko siyang lumutang hanggang sa makarating sa himpapawid. Nilagyan niya ng pananggalang ang buong akademya upang kung malakas man ang impact mamaya ay hindi madamay ang ibang lugar na malapit sa paaralan.

Pumyesto naman kami ni Dyna sa harap ng bilog ng buhay upang ihanda ang aming mga sarili sa pagkuha ng liwanag na manggagaling sa eklipso na aming itatapat sa masamang Elona.

*blag!

I look at Elona's bad side who were punching the barrier to break it. May spell ang loob kaya naman hindi niya magamit ang kapangyarihan ng kadiliman. Her husband is already gone after the scepter was broken. Ngunit hindi namin masisiguro kung wala na siyang magagamit na kapangyarihan laban sa amin. I still feel her power flowing.

"Alluna Karielyn Elizalde Lapaz," napalingon ako sa gawi nina ina ng marinig ang kanyang boses sa aking isipan, "that's your name before you know that you're an Alegria. You were six years old when you start to see supernatural beings like those spirits which you believe ghost. No one believes you that's why you grow up without any friends. You were bullied during your highschool days and you used to cry on the corner while all of them laugh at you," she mumbled, my eyes begun to shed tears. Paano niya nalaman ang mga bagay na iyon? Wala akong pinagsabihan patungkol doon. Kahit ang tumayong ina-inahan ko at si Kezia. Hindi iyon alam.

"You always join academic contest and always win the first place but instead of congratulating you, your classmates gets mad at you because they thought you're stealing their chances even though you didn't. You used to talk with spirits and other creatures when you're alone and they always give you advice that you're not alone. You were once fooled by your classmates and lock you up at the locker room until midnight and you didn't know how I want to break their bones for doing that to you," she added and I chuckle when I saw her rolled her eyes in frustration. Father chuckle on her. Looks like, he also knows what she's saying.
