The Prophecies Revert

Chapter 20

Believing in oneself and not depending on others is a strength. It is not about what you can't do but what you achieve by just trying and giving your best. Sometimes we were afraid to try because of the thought that we will not be able to do things right. Yet, weakness is just a matter of what you're afraid to do and not what you can't do.

Dalawang araw na ang nakalipas at hindi na naulit pa ang pag atake na nangyari sa Academy simula no'ng nawala kami. Should I feel relieved? Or scared of what might happen sooner or later. They must be thinking of another move right now.

"Matagal tagal na rin mula no'ng huli kang napadalaw rito. Simula nang mawala ka saglit sa Academy ay wala nang bumibisita rito," sambit ni Ms. Librarian.

I came here not to borrow a book but only to read anything I want here. Tapos ko nang basahin ang "Behind Her Smile" at 'yong pinahiram sa'kin ni Red na galing din dito entitled 'The True Colors Of The Hidden Oath' kaya hindi muna ako kukuha.

"I hope there's a book that tells about my past. I'm tired of asking everyone and receiving no response," I murmured.

"I know someone who can help you. But that woman was thrown away in the Ivoire. No one talks to her," bigla niyang sabi.

Tila hindi ako makagalaw sa narinig ko. Ivoire. The forbidden spot in Hydera Penha. Hindi ko lubos maisip na babalik ulit ako do'n.

"Who is she?" tanong ko na lang.

"Her name is Lezonra Emnace. Isa siyang dating witchcraft sa Clavier Nantes. Naparusahan dahil nagmahal ng hindi niya kauri kaya hindi na siya makakalabas pa ro'n."

Tila hindi ako makapaniwala sa narinig."Anong klaseng nilalang ba ang minahal niya?"

"A vampire."

Wala na siyang sinabi sa'kin pagkatapos no'n kaya hindi na rin ako nagtanong pa at umalis na sa library. I need to find out if its true. Kung totoo ang sinabi niya ay saka na ako mag-iisip ng gagawin ko.

Mabuti na lang at nandito pa rin ang kambal sa Academy. I don't know if I could tell myself lucky that they would come home tomorrow. Kahapon pa na-cast ang invisible ward ng Academy. Makakapag-tanong pa ako sa kanila tungkol sa pakay ko.

"Wala na ba silang ipapagawa sa inyo?" I asked them softly when I came back on my dorm.

Ibinilin silang dalawa rito dahil may kailangan pa ding gawin sina Lixe at Heaven bilang mga leaders ng iba't ibang class. Mas naging busy pa sila simula no'ng makabalik kami rito.

"Nothing, Ate. Uuwi na rin kami bukas kaya hindi na naman tayo magkikita," Jazzy pouted and I find her cute for doing that.

"Its not that we won't get a chance to see each other again. Kapag may oras, bibisita si Ate sa inyo." I played with their hair while sitting on the bed."Can I ask you guys something? I hope you won't mind telling anyone about this."

"What is it all about, Ate?" Jazzer asked.

"Someone told me that there was a woman from Clavier Nantes who got punished in Ivoire. Her name was Lezonra? Do you know something about her?"

Nagkatinginan silang dalawa bago naisipan ni Jazzy na siya na ang sumagot."Y-Yeah. I don't think if you remembered her. Pero sabi nila Mama at Papa, siya daw ang nagbigay ng basbas sa'yo no'ng kakasilang mo pa lang. Your parents were close to her. And that's not the only reason why she's known. Magaling siyang witch sa Clavier Nantes, sabi nila."

"Hindi namin alam ang itsura niya dahil wala pa kami sa mundong 'to nong umalis siya ng mundo namin at nagpunta rito. Nakatanggap na lang ang pinuno namin ng balita na pinatapon na siya sa Ivoire. Because she loved a vampire. Hindi naman kumalat kung sino ang bampira na minahal niya. I was kept as a secret without knowing why," dagdag naman ni Jazzer.
