- CHAPTER VI: Mission -
(Nicolette's POV)

Napabuntong hininga nalang ako habang nakatingin sa salamin, naglalagkit na ako.

Buong araw ata na walang pahinga ang mga mukhang pera na syang nagpapahirap sa piling istudyante. No one dared to help na syang natatawa ako.

If there is no one, then, it should be me. Hindi ko hahayaan na hanggang sa academy na sobrang halaga sa parents ko ay babastusin pa nila. And in order for me to help the students, I need my mahou. And there is one person I could think of that could help me, well, actually, dalawa.

"Princess...? What happened?" agad na tanong ni Tita.

"Tita, pwede mo po ba akong bigyan ng mission sa labas ng academy..? Gusto kong makausap si Master Chardon."

Agad na bumukas ang saya sa mukha nito tsaka ako niyakap, "Thank you, thank you so much."

Napangiti ako.

"Just let me, okay? Just wait for my call tomorrow morning."

Tumango lang ako at lumabas na. I know, Tita is aware of the things that are happening in this academy. As soon as possible, I need to end this.

Dumeretso akong kwarto namin ni Zoey, agad na naligo at pinalitan ang damit ko.

Di nagtagal, dumating na'rin si Zoey na sobrang haggard, di rin maipinta ang mukha nito

"Are you okay?" tanong ko agad sa kanya.

"Tsk. Are you okay? Are you hurt? You should ask yourself that." sya sabay salampak ng upo.

"Its nothing. I need to do something about this." sabi ko

"Psh! Buti naman at naisip mo yan, ano?" and she rolled her eyes. "So, anything that I can help you with?"

"Let me meet your father." ako, nahiya pakong magtanong.

"Huh? Ano naman kinalaman ni dad dyan?"

I took a deep sigh and look directly into her eyes "The one who sealed my real mahou, and the one who trained me for the past few years... is your father."

Nakatingin lang sya sakin, nakataas kilay. Napanguso tuloy ako.

"Oo na, explain ko na. When I was a kid, my father predicted my mahou, at lumaki akong sinanay kung pano ihandle ang kapangyarihan na meron ako. It's both destructive and dangerous. At first, I was afraid, but then, I learned to love my own mahou thinking that it has a reason why I inherited the forbidden mahou. But when I was six years old, the 12 years ago incident, I used my mahou and I lost control on it resulting for those elders and officials to lose their own mahou. But swear, it wasn't my intention. At ayon nga, starting that day, lahat nagkagulo na. Masyadong mabilis yung balita na hindi na nakayang pigilan ni Ama, and everything changed. That's where I decided to have my mahou sealed and my parents decided to hide me, pero part ng mahou ko ay ginagamit ko parin ngayon. Me, being an empath, ay kalokohan lang. Sinong empath ang nakakakita ng memorya ng isang mahou holder? I could, I do! Because that's my mahou. Pero sa nangyayari ngayon, the only way to stop Tito Nicolas' hypnotism and Dawn's dark magic is my mahou. At isa pa, for twelve years, I was trained by your father."

"Wait! Okay! Alam ko na dahil sa mahou ni dad, malaki ang posibilidad na yun nga ang nangyari  Gets ko rin ang pinupunto mo, pero sa oras na ginawa mo yun, malalaman nila na buhay ka."

"Not exactly. One way to alter the mahou of the king is the warmth from the person that is important to them. I'll do some altering on their minds but the warmth from the person they love, that's another thing. But it means, opposing the will of the king. Maybe he made this act to erase this academy on his way, a warning."
