Maria Sigrid Ibarra has exceptional memory. She's already an achiever at such a young age, which is why she's sent to study at a prestigious Atlas University.
During her first stay at the university, she received an anonymous threat to leave the pl...

"THERE are other five provinces in this country, and each of them has a military camp where they're keeping their slaves and the children."
Bumalik kami sa chapel upang magpulong nang pumayag ako sa kanilang kagustuhan na tulungan sila sa digmaan. Nasa loob kaming apat ng isang pribadong silid at itinuro ni Padre Perez ang mapa ng mga probinsya.
May mga nakasinding kandila at lampara dahil inabot na kami ng dilim nang makabalik kami kanina. Mas lumamig ang temperatura kaya binigyan ako ni Chyou ng makapal na balabal upang labanan ang lamig.
"Tell me the current situation, is there any opposition to the military government?" tanong ko at inabot sa'kin ni Chyou ang mainit na tyaa. "Thanks."
"There's a group of rebels who are fighting the army, however, they are short-handed in resources and man-power," paliwanag ni Paladio. "As of the moment, they're not moving because of the huge casualties they suffered from their last attack last month."
Nakaisip ako bigla ng idea, "What are your powers?" biglang tanong ko sa kanila.
Nagkatinginan si Paladio at Chyou. Nilapag nila ang mga hawak nilang tasa para ipakita sa'kin kung ano ang mga kapangyarihan nila.
Chyou showed me a spoon and she bent it using her mind, she's a Telekinetic, she can move things using her mind like Kero.
Paladio raised his hands and a ball of ice emerged from it, he's the opposite of Rare, he can produce and manipulate ice.
And Padre Perez tapped his face and it changed! Nag-iba ang kanyang mukha at naging kamukha ito ni Paladio, he tapped it again and it changed again. He can copy faces.
"How many Aeons in this order?" tanong ko ulit.
"Eleven, that includes us," sagot ni Chyou. "Do you need them? We're going to summon them—"
"No, the four of us are enough."
Nagtaka sila sa sinabi kong 'yon pero hindi sila nag-protesta at hinintay ang aking magiging paliwanag.
"We're not going directly to war. We'll help the rebels and the rebels will fight for their victory, in other words, we'll lead them to their freedom." Sabi ko at nagsalita si Paladio.
"How can we do that? We can attack them directly, we have powers and we have you."
Umiling ako sa kanya, "No, it will expose our kind."
Hindi nakapgsalita si Paladio at napagtanto ang kanyang sinabi. Iisang paraan lang ang naiisip ko kung paano sila matutulungan. Tama nga naman si Paladio, may advantage para sa amin ang makipaglaban gamit ang mga kapangyarihan namin subalit hindi pa rin ito magiging madali. It will risk the member of the order's life; we have to work in the dark to spark a light in people's hearts.
