After confirming that Tita Charlotte, the Queen of the Ice, with her husband and child being completely safe from the attack that happened, we decided to come back to the academy which Tito Xander let us first. Iyon lang, bago kami makalayo ay narinig ko ang sinabi ni Tita Charlotte sa aming principal.
“They don't intend to harm us, only to inflict fear and disaster to our realm, for it is too peaceful for decades.”
And up until now, those words wouldn't leave in my head with the question, how did they enter this realm that's being protected by a powerful barrier that no trespasser could pass through?
Nevertheless, it will be part of those questions that won't be answered as of now, because there's time for everything.
It was on our way to the dorm when a silhouette of a man caught my attention, who's leaning on trees right at the entrance of this eerie forest that seemed to be a home for the deads. He's wearing a black hoodie and gray sweatpants partnered with his black running shoes. Dahil sa kanyang damit ay kitang-kita ang kanyang kaputian.
Nakahalukipkip ito na para bang may hinihintay na mabagal na umayos ng tayo nang maramdaman ang presensya naming napahinto.
Naglakad ito palapit ngunit dahil maissue ang dalawa ay mabilis nila akong siniko. Bored na tinignan ko lamang ang mga ito ngunit narinig ko ang bulong ni Mika.
“Xiel, huh, napapansin kong napapalapit na kayo ni Kuya sa isa't-isa.” And if Kaellus ever heard it— he did, as the side of his lips lifted, I don't care anymore.
Bored na tinignan ko si Mika at hindi na sumagot. Because of my silence, these two already assumed things for me. I rolled my eyes and focused my attention on Kaellus instead.
“Let's train,” he proposed once he's in front of us.
Nagtagal ang tingin ko sa kanya at hinahanap sa mukha nito kung nagbibiro sya ngunit. . . right. He is Nixon Kaellus Váil Lockéhart, he doesn't joke.
“Sure,” I answered and looked at both Mika and Shi.
Tinaasan ko sila ng kilay na ikinangisi nila ng may halong malisya bago umalis. Bumuntonghininga ako at tumingin sa kanya.
“Saan tayo?”
Imbis na sumagot, inilahad nya lamang ang kanyang kamay. Bumaba ang aking tingin sa kamay nito at tumaas ang aking kilay. What does he wants me to do?
“Teleportation,” sagot nya sa tanong nasa isip ko lamang. I almost closed my eyes because. . . here we go again.
Ngumuso ako. “Teleportation. I can't,” I admit.
The realization has drawn on his face as he nodded.
“Ah right, transportation sickness.”
My forehead furrowed hearing his comment.
“What? It's portal and teleport sickness only!” Tumaas nang kaunti ang aking boses. Anong transportation? I can ride a griffin or pegasus, duh!
Malalim itong natawa bago may dinukot sa kanyang bulsa, at nang ilabas nya iyon ay nakita ko ang isang maliit na lalagyan kung saan nang binukas nya ay nagpakita ang pamilyar na dahon.
My eyes widened a little. The mint!
“Here.” Pag-aalok nya na ikinanguso ko.
“Why do you have this?” tanong ko at kumuha ng isa.
He only shrugged. “Just to calm my head. Let's go?” Wow, ginawang bubblegum.
Tumango ako at mabilis na lumapit sakanya at kumapit sa kanyang damit. He looked at it for a while but I just raised my brow to ask what's the problem with it, which he just shook his head yet I heard his deep chuckles again; before feeling my body being teleported into a place which made me close my eyes.
