MEMORIES

"Hoy, Aster! Ay punyeta! Mamaya na landian, gaga!"

I turned when I heard Diane speak. Wait, how am I here with them? What happened with the woman and the Aeras? Why am I suddenly with them here in the Semideus Island?

Kusa akong tumawa- out of my will and consciousness. Then I turned my gaze to Aster and- ha? Bakit magkatabi sila ni Gideon? Nagkabalikan sila?

Gideon stuck his tongue out, "Inggit ka lang, men."

Diane raised her middle finger, and I laughed again. Nagulat ako nang magsalita ako.

"You guys, stop it. We still have to go somewhere," suway ko sa kanila. Huh? Saan kami pupunta?! Bakit alam ko, pero hindi ko alam?

Then realization slowly crept to me. This is a memory. They were my friends.

Pero bakit nila ako nakalimutan? Who messed us with our memories?

"What mission is it this time, Xyn?" I turned to Damon who just talked. He was still the same semi-bald, hunk, and scarred Damon, only with lesser scars.

I shrugged. "Hindi ko pa alam. Basta kailangan muna nating pumunta kay Zeus."

Zeus. Was I a Zeus' mentee before too? Ibig sabihin, kahit ang mga Diyos ay nakalimutan ang pagkatao ko? Who really am I?

"Where is Zeref?" tanong ko sa kanila.

Woah, I even knew Zeref before.

"May iba nang nilalandi si Master-" Gideon answered, but he stopped when I glared at him. "Oy! Joke lang, lods! 'To naman, hindi mabiro."

"You're looking for me?" napalingon naman ako sa likod ko nang marinig si Zeref. Nakapamulsa siya, at nakangisi sa'kin. I noticed that his hair was longer this time.

Inirapan ko siya at tinaasan ng kilay, "Yes. Late ka na naman."

Nagulat ang inner self ko nang akbayan niya ako. Zeref bent down to my ear and whispered, "H'wag kang maniniwala kay Gid. Sa'yo lang ako, miss." Then, he chuckled boyishly afterwards.

Internal panic! Teka lang! Bakit- Ba't niya sinabi 'yon? Omg! Anong meron sa'min before?!

Hindi sumagot ang sarili ko, at binilisan ko ang lakad palayo. I think we were heading to the plaza or center of the Semideus Island, where the circular teleportation platforms lies.

Hindi nagtagal nakarating kami r'on, at tumayo kaming lahat sa malaking plataporma. I noticed that many Semideuses were watching us- more like, amazed.

I turned to Zeref who was looking around. He licked his lower lips before looking at me again, and smiled. Once again, I panicked when his hand slid to mine, and our fingers are intertwined.
