19TH of JUNE
"Come, I'll show you the Isles of Blest," wika ni Hades at naunang maglakad, sadya nang sumunod ang paa ko habang nagmamasid ang paligid.
I have no control of myself because obviously, it is a memory. We were in another place now.
Huminga naman si Hades ng malalim at nagsalita, "In the Fields of Elysium you can choose to be reincarnated and if you still do good and did that three times a row, you'll be sent here in the Isles of the Blest. Heaven, perhaps."
I looked around and it was clearly paradise here. Lahat sobrang ganda! Napansin kong ang mga tao or shades dito ay Greek Heroes! Achilles! Ma, crush ko 'yon!
"Who are you looking at, Xynthea?" puna sa'kin ni Zeref. Umiling naman si self, at iniwas na ang tingin kay Achilles. Noooo! Achilles, my Trojan Hero! The one who was invincible except for his heel.
He clicked his tongue, and walked more closely with me. Halos nanginig ako. Is that why I always feel something odd whenever I am with him? Because of my past memories?
"We're going to have a quick look in Tartarus," Hades said.
Nanlamig naman ang pakiramdam ko bigla— as if I felt like something bad was going to happen.
Hades chanted something, and after it, we were already sent to a new place. Tumingin ako sa paligid at napansing halos wala akong nakikitang liwanag. I felt someone hold my shoulders. Zeref.
"It's dark in here," saad ni Damon.
Nanliit ang mata ko nang makarinig ng tunog ng mga halimaw. I almost shut my eyes when I heard screeching noises. Zeref carressed my shoulders, as if comforting me.
May iba sa mga narito ang halos nagwala dahil sa presensya ni Hades. I could also sense that Thanatos is here.
"Thanatos, is he still here?" tanong ni Hades. Bumitaw naman si Zeref sa balikat ko, at ramdam ko'y lumapit siya kina Hades.
I heard Thanatos' heavy breathing. "Yes, he is."
Suddenly, a cold wind gushed over me. A soft hum tickled in my ears. I hugged myself.
Then, I heard Zeref's voice in my head.
"Come here, Xynthea."
Napalingon naman ako sa direksyon. Wait, hindi iyon ang tinungong daan ni Zeref, ah? And was it really Zeref, or that mysterious man?
I didn't want to move towards it, but my feet just did. Gosh, what are you doing, self?!
"Go on, Xyn. Move closer."
Their voices became distant. Takte, bakit ka lumayo sa kanila, Xynthea?! Delikado rito!
"Zeref?" sambit ko. Halaa, bakit ang uto-uto mo, Xynthea?! Hindi ata 'yan si Zeref. Gods!
"I am here."
Naningkit ang sarili kong mga mata ng makakita ng kulay lilang liwanag. In reality, my heart is already pounding hard. But I feel like it wasn't in my memory.
Ba't naman ang confident ko dati, ghorl? Hindi ba ako nagduda? Huhu, baket?
"Xynthea. Unleash your power."
Nagkunot-noo ako. Power? Anong kapangyarihan?
"Zeref? What are you saying?" tanong ko. Ay ang kulit mo, self. Hindi nga siya si Zeref! Takbo na!
Napatalon ako nang makaramdam ng hawak sa balikat ko, but it wasn't a touch of a physical hand, but something like a smoke. It passed by me, and then it lit up.
