O L Y M P I A S (Home of the gods)

Twenty Three

I'm lost.

Hindi ko na alam kung nasaan sina Tyrone, Angel and Mori.I tried connecting with Tyrone through telepathy but I can't.Masyado na siguro silang malayo and hindi pa siguro nila napapansin na hindi ko na sila kasama.

I did everything to think of our way back.I even tried tracing our footsteps pero walang tulong since puro dahon ang nagkalat sa daan.

"Bwisit." I mumbled.I don't have any idea kung anong pwedeng gawin ko.If I shout, maririnig ba nila ako?

"Lost?" I looked up to see no one.

Maybe that was just a voice in my mind.Baka sa sobrang gusto ko na makalabas dito eh nagha-hallucinate na ako.Umupo na lang muna ako and I rested my head on a tree.

I sighed.Wala na akong choice but to stay in here and hope na mahahanap nila ako.I pulled out my phone and as expected wala nga siyang signal.

"Greetings,Milady!"

"AHHH!" Agad akong napatayo at napaatras ng may bumagsak sa gilid ko.

"Careful!Careful!" This may sound stupid but I pointed my phone at him na parang isa itong patalim.

"Who are you?!" I shouted at him.Keeping the distance between him and I.

"Well, Milady let me formally introduce myself.I am Zelus.I am the one who protect the lost ones and bring them back to the home of the gods." Nagulat ako ng bigla siyang lumutang and he is literally flying!

"Can I really trust you?" I asked him and bigla naman siyang napangiti.

"Your choice." His smile turns into a smirk.He's quite mischievous, isn't he?

"Then I rather not." I said and tumawa lang siya.Napatingin na lang ako sa orasan ko and malapit na mag hapon.

I have to get the hell out.

"Need me?" I looked at him and I firmly said...

"No." He nodded tsaka lumipad palayo.

I think I should try connecting with Tyrone again.

"Tyrone?"

Hindi ko na alam kung saan ako papunta pero I keep on walking.Baka sakaling mas lumapit ako kina Tyrone.

"Tired?" Nabigla ako and I accidentally twisted my ankle.Damn it hurts!

"Zelus!" I shouted.Bigla-bigla na lang kasi siyang lumilitaw.I thought hindi na niya ako babalikan pa.

"Stupid." He muttered.Nagulat ako ng bigla niya akong binuhat.

"Hoy wait!Are we going to———"

"Yes.We are about to fly."

The next thing I knew is we were flying.I closed my eyes for a couple of seconds pero sinabihan ako ni Zelus na I should appreciate the beauty of the nature kaya I dared to open my eyes and it was all worth it.

"Angel!Mori!" I can see them!Agad kong sinabihan si Zelus na ibaba ako sa kanila.

Dahan-dahan kaming bumaba sa lupa.They are probably worried about me pero mas nag-aalala ako sa kanila.

"Zoelle!" Agad akong nakita ni Angel and tumakbo sila papunta sa akin.Zelus helped me on standing since I can't put pressure on my twisted ankle.

"Okay ka lang ba?" Nag-aalaang tanong ni Mori.She gasped nung nakita niya yung kalagayan ng paa ko.She even kneeled para i-check.

"What happened?" Tanong ni Angel.

"Well I twisted my ankle." Sagot ko and tumingin ako kay Zelus pero hindi siya makatingin sa akin dahil alam niyang siya ang may kasalan kung bakit nangyari to.

"We should go back sa Eupraxia para magamot yan." Mori said.

"Wait.Nasaan si Tyrone?" Tanong ko kasi napansin ko na sila lang dalawa ang nandito.

"WAHHH!Angel si Tyrone!I remember iniwan niya tayo dito to look for Zoelle!Siya naman ngayon ang nawawala!" Umiiyak na ngayon si Mori.They had a hard time.

"Zelus." Tawag ko.

"Hmm?" We have to find Tyrone first before we finish this mission.

"Help me find Tyrone." I said.He furrowed his eyebrows.

"How can I find him kung hindi ko alam kung ano itsura niya?" I sighed.Akala ko pa naman kilala ang mga Pancras pati sa labas ng Eupraxia.

"Then...Angel and Mori pwede bang maiwan ulit kayo dito?We'll look for Tyrone." Napatingin sa akin sina Angel and Mori.Hanggang ngayon umiiyak pa din si Mori kaya si Angel na ang sumagot.

"Fine.Make sure na babalikan niyo kami dito ha?Malapit na mag gabi, Zoelle so be quick." Tumango ako.We did not waste more time, agad kaming nagsimula sa paghahanap kay Tyrone.
