ʚ Hallucinations ɞ
After taking Charlie to the hospital, Airyn headed to the Principal's office to inform her about the incident. When she finally arrived at the office, she hastily came closer to the Principal after seeing her gripping her forehead as if she were in pain.
"Principal Grey! Are you alright?" Airyn asked concernedly, rushing to support the Principal's back and assess her condition.
Ibinaba ni Principal Grey ang mga kamay niya at ipinatong sa ibabaw ng mesa. She appears utterly exhausted, showing visible signs of weariness. Parang may bumabagabag na naman sa kanya dahil hindi siya mapakali.
"I saw her . . ." Tumingin siya kay Airyn nang may pag-aalala sa mata. "I saw Selendria in my vision."
Parang nabingi si Airyn at napalayo nang kaunti kay Principal Grey. Her heart pounded rapidly, and her lips parted in shock. Hindi niya alam kung ano ang mararamdaman niya at kung ano ang dapat na maging reaksyon niya.
"A-Are you sure, Principal Grey?" Airyn stuttered. Parang may bumara sa lalamunan niya. "Baka dahil sa pagod ka lang kaya . . ."
Principal Grey shook her head and held Airyn's hands tightly. "No, Airyn! I really saw Selendria in my vision! And she's still alive . . ."
At doon na nakaramdam nang sobrang kaba si Airyn na para bang sasabog ang puso niya. Hindi na niya alam kung ano ba ang gagawin niya.
"Ngunit nalilito ako."
Agad na napatingin si Airyn kay Principal Grey nang sabihin niya 'yon. Mukhang may nais pa itong sabihin sa kanya.
"I'm unsure if Selendria was the one I saw in my vision. But I am more confident that she resembled Selendria!" You can see the sincerity in the Principal's eyes.
Napaupo na lang si Airyn sa bakanteng upuan na nasa gilid ni Principal Grey. Tila nakaramdam siya nang panlalambot sa mga tuhod. Hindi niya kinakaya ang mga nalalaman niya.
"But, Principal Grey, how can we be sure that Sendy is the person you saw in your vision if she was already dead? Didn't you inform us before that you would never see a dead person in your vision?"
Principal Grey sighed heavily. Napahawak ulit ito sa sentido niya at hinimas ito. "How certain are you that she has indeed passed away?"
Airyn gasped in shock. Hindi siya makapaniwala sa narinig. "W-What do you mean, Principal Grey? Hindi kayo naniniwala na patay na siya? Pero alam naman nating nahulog siya sa Abyss of Death na kung saan–"
"Na kung saan walang nakakaligtas kahit sino? Are you underestimating Selendria's magic?"
Dito na hindi nakasagot si Airyn at napaisip. 'All this time, Principal Gray believed Selendria was still alive. Why hadn't I thought that? And this explains why she didn't cry when they announced Sendy's passing. Akala ko ay nagpapakatatag lang siya . . .'
"Knowing that Selendria is still the Royal Empress Dragon's daughter and Queen Lucia carried Selendria in her womb to give birth to her so that she would become a full human being, we must consider that Sendy is also powerful, given that she came from the royal empress's power." Tumingin si Principal Grey sa mga mata ni Airyn at muling nagsalita. "Hindi ko pa tukoy lahat kung ano ba si Sendy o kung may iba pa tayong hindi nalalaman tungkol sa kanya. Her full magic, capabilities, and strength are still cloaked in mystery."
Nabagabag ang isip niya sa mga sinabi ni Principal Grey, ngunit isa lang ang nais itanong ni Airyn. Kaya hindi na ito nagpatumpik-tumpik pa.
"Sendy is still alive, right?"
