He Needed Her
Naunang pumasok si Darius at Eris doon, saka kami sumunod.
Everything was dark sa entrance ng parang cave na iyon, the only light I can see was coming from the torch that Darius was holding.
It looks like a secret dungeon.
Napatingin ako kay Magnus na ngayon ay nasa harapan ko.
Bakit niya ako sinama?
Ilang minuto rin kaming naglakad nang may marinig akong mga impit na boses.
It sounds like people in pain, shouting for help.
"Ma, hindi ko na kaya," may narinig ako. It sounds near but also sounds far.
"They will save us," galing naman sa ibang boses.
Save from what?
Lumiko kami sa kanan at doon sumalubong ang iba't ibang cell na napapalibutan din ng dark magic aura. May tao sa bawat isang 'yon.
They look so pale and weak, as if they don't have enough blood.
Blood...
Lumapit si Darius sa mga iyon at tiningnan sila isa-isa. Gano'n din ang ginawa ni Eris sa kabilang side.
My fists clenched.
Do they keep these humans here to suck their blood?
Iyon lang ang iniisip ko habang iniinspect nila ang bawat cell na nandoon.
The mortals look so unwell and lifeless. They might die at any second.
They don't even have enough energy para tingnan pa ang ginagawa nila Darius. It's as if they have accepted their dead ends.
Patuloy na nagsasalita ang batang lalaki na nasa dulo, katabi niya ang cell ng mom niya yata. Sa kaniya rin ang boses na una kong narinig kanina.
Na hindi na niya kaya.
His mom can't respond to him, she's looking so weak and fragile.
"They're dying," sabi ni Darius maya-maya kay Magnus.
He didn't react, at all.
Eris went to one of them and raised his palm, as if sensing something.
"Two hours," sabi niya habang ang tingin ay nakay Magnus din.
They really do keep these humans for blood.
I felt my ears heating. How could they treat mortals like this?
They have lives, too.
My mom was once a mortal, and now I began to wonder if someone also took advantage of her. Was she killed? Was she treated unfairly like this?
Is Magnus' race related to her death?
Humarap ako kay Magnus, "You acted as if you were a good creature when in fact I was right all along," tumingin siya sa akin, "Masasama kayo," I left them there. I casted my teleportation and invisible spell at the same time. Napunta ako sa bubong ng isang bahay doon na malapit sa Sanguine Village.
Agad kong inactivate ang communication device para kausapin si Vishnu, my hands were shaking because of anger, hindi ko alam ang mararamdaman ko.
He asked me before as if I'm accusing him and his race.
'Yun pala, totoo naman.
"Oh, ano? Babalik ka na? Buti naman, ayaw akong tigilan ng tatay mo! Ayaw maniwalang hindi ko alam kung nasaan-"
