Chapter 18: The Story Behind Arya

Chapter 18: The Story Behind Arya

"They're moving."

Those were the words that first came out during the meeting with the Tritones. Our league, my family.

And us...Kami ang, kumbaga, kanilang alas. We were their strongest agents. Thus, they called us the Tesseris Adelfes. The strongest amongst the strong, wisest among the wise, and the best amongst the best.

We were top notch, trained since birth for combats, either pair or one on one, it did not matter, we were all equal. And we were all murderers.

Ang Tesseris, ito ay binubuo lamang ng apat na tao, magkakapatid hindi sa dugo kundi sa samahan. That's us; Bellona, Pallas, Me as Athena....and Astrid. We were inseparable.

The Tritones, it's our sanctuary, despite their brutal ways, we killed only those who deserved it. Corrupted people. Abusive people. We had a cause.

Meroon kaming vision at mission. However, hindi yun ang nakikita ng ibang grupo. Ang Cruentos ay masbrutal, walang landas sa pagpatay, masnasisiyahan sa pagpatay. Ang leader nila, si Morder, ay ang klase ng tao na hindi forgiving, mercilless and brutal.
Kabaliktaran nang ginagawa namin sa ginagawa nila.

They do not forgive. They do not forget.

No mercy. No pain.

That's how they remained unbeatable, an equal opponent for our league.

But they take pleasure in the pain of others, they feed on the pain of others.

Sila ang mga tao sa likod ng mga high operating drug facilities, sila ang mga tao sa likod ng mga assasinations ng mga politiko o mga maimpluwensyang tao sa mundo, the faceless people using the faces of wealthy and influencial people as their facade.

But that wasn't all they did. They went to schools, universities, to get money from patrons who had wanted to commit the perfect crime but don't want to get their hands dirty.

"We received word that they are planning to assassinate Austin Alred, from the Supreme Court, every detail is in the folders in front of you. Eye him, don't kill him yet, take him with you for questioning. Dismissed."

Binuksan ko ang manila folder sa harapan ko at tiningnan ang subject. With the age of thirty two, status is single, his house is protected with codes. I scoffed, what good would that do him?

"We leave at dawn." I said as I took the folder and left. Despite being equal, ako ang harbinger ng grupo naming apat.

Pumunta ako sa kuarto ko para kunin lahat ng gamit na kakailanganin ko. Hinasa, lininis, at sinigurading well-oiled at well prepared ako sa pupuntahan namin dahil this is not some easy task, it was the Chief Justice they were targeting and this was a big deal. It had to be.

So I paced, I waited, I memorized the schedule, the maps of his office, and his house.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit pero may bumabagabag sa akin, I feel like something's gonna go wrong today.

So when the clocked chimed at dawn, we met at the gates of the facility. We all nodded in understanding and travelled on our specialized motorcycles and rode off.

Everything was going smoothly. "Round the perimeter." Binigay ko ang command at pumuntas si Bellona at Astrid habang kami ni Pallas ay pumasok sa bahay ng target. The silence was deafening but we blended well in the shadows, undetected.
