Maya

"Hanggang dito ka nalang siguro"

I thought I was brave but hearing those words frightens me. Those people who has experienced a near death situation was right, they said their lives flash through their eyes and so was mine. Bumalik lahat sa isip ko ang mga nangyari sa akin mula noong pagkabata ko hanggang ngayon.  The faces of my loved ones appeared one by one in my mind. Mom and Dad, Briar, Zach, Ate Kara, Titania, my other friends and the friends I had in the other world. 

Help me

I want to utter those words but I can't. Nanghihina at walang lumalabas na boses sa bibig ko. Isa pa, mag-isa ako ngayon. Imposibleng may makarinig sa akin. Bakit ba kasi ngayon pa ako binigo ng divine magic. What's wrong with me? Why can't I use it now?

"Paalam" aniya. Naipikit ko nalang ang mga mata ko nang nagsimula ng umilaw ng itim ang kanyang mga kamay. I can feel a strong power slowly arising. This is a sure death attack. Isang gamit lang niya ng mahikang iyan ay siguradong patay na ako. 

"I don't think so!" I heard someone shouted and when I opened my eyes I saw Mom, Dad and Zach. Zach carried me while Mom and Dad was in front of us. Tumilapon ang demonyo nang umatake si Mom sa kanya. 

"Mom, Dad Zach" nanghihina kong wika. Pinaupo ako ng maayos ni Zach saka may ibinigay siya sa akong maliit na bote. " Here drink this. It's a potion" tumango ako at ininom ang ibinigay niya. 

Ilang sandali lang ay bumalik ng kaunti ang lakas ko.  I can move a little now but I'm still weak to stand up and fight. Bumalik narin ang demonyo palapit sa amin. Galit niyang tiningnan sina Mom. Hindi niya siguro inaasahan iyon. Even I didn't notice an upcoming attack. Ibang klase talaga si Mom. Kaya siguro maraming humahanga sa kanya. She's not just a healer but also the best fighter. 

"Maya, anak. May masakit ba sa iyo?" tanong ni Mom at lumapit sa akin. 

"Bweset! Uunahin na kita Divine healer!" sigaw ng demonyo pero pinigilan siya ni Dad at Zach. 

"Mom, sina Dad" nag-aalala kong wika. They can't defeat a demon. They don't have the power to. Kung sa pagalingan lang sa pakikipaglaban kaya nilang makipagsabayan pero ang talunin ang demonyo, wala silang pag-asa. Ni hindi ko nga siya matalo na nasa akin ang mahikang makakatalo sa demonyo, sila pa ba na wala. 

"Huwag kang mag-alala Maya. Pipigilan na muna nila ang demonyo while I'm healing you. They can withstand her for awhile" aniya at sinimulan na ni Mom ang paghe-heal. Saka ko lang naalala ang sinabi ng demonyo kanina. Divine Healer? That's the first time I heard about it. 

"Mom, what's a Divine healer?" tanong ko sa kanya. I thought she's just a saintess. Is that another name for her?

"It's a secret term just for me and those who can use magic like me in our family. In every generation, there's only one Divine healer at ako iyon." she answered while her hands are still focused on me. It was glowing differently than most of the time she's using it. 

" I remember you saying your family were blessed by the Divine Enchantresses" sabi ko at tumango naman siya.

 " Ito iyon, ang pagiging divine healer" 

" So you can defeat the demon?" tanong ko sa kanya. I am hoping she can because I can't use Divine magic right now for I don't know what reason. 

Umiling siya kaya't para akong nawalan ng pag-asa. " All I can do is purify Maya. Unlike Divine magic holder they can purify black magic or the demon magic itself and can kill them habang ako naman, all I can do is purify their magic. That's why we need to work together. You are a divine magic user right?" tanong niya sa akin. Tumango naman ako, there's no need to keep it a secret anymore.
