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

Twenty Five

Nakarating na kami finally!Inilibot ko ang paningin ko dahil sa ganda ng lugar.It really is a magical forest and ito ang pinaka-heart ng kagubatan since it is located at the center part.

"Pwede mo na akong ibaba, Tyrone." Tinignan ko si Tyrone and pinagpapawisan na siya.Alam kong napapagod na siya.

"Oo nga Tyrone!Pagod ka na oh." Sabi din ni Mori.Nakatingin kaming tatlo kay Tyrone pero hindi siya nagsalita.He won't even budge.

"Wala ka ba talagang balak na ibaba ako?"

I tried communicating with him through mind pero di rin siya sumasagot.Is he under a spell or what?

"Wala."

Agad akong napatingin kay Tyrone sa sinabi niya.Ano bang trip niya?! I secretly pinched him sa likod niya and he winced pero hindi ganon halata.

"Do it again and I'll drop you."

Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin sa sinabi niya.Inaasar niya ba ako or what?I mean hindi naman ganon kalala yung lagay ng paa ko...well kind of kasi masakit talaga pero kaya ko naman tumayo.

"Hindi mo talaga ako ibaba?"

"No."

"Talaga?"

"Yeah."

"Angel may tissue kang dala diba?Pahingi ako~" I asked Angel.Medyo nagulat pa siya kasi kanina pa kami tahimik na nag-uusap dito ni Tyrone pero agad naman niyang kinuha yung tissue sa bag na dala niya.

"O-oh ito." Inabot niya agad sa akin.

Tinignan ko si Tyrone na nakatingin sa malayo bago ko pinunasan yung pawis sa mukha niya.He was drenched in sweat and nandidiri ako so I did that.Tsaka he carried me all the way up in here kaya ayos lang yon.

"W-what are you doing?"

"Uhmmm...helping you?"

"You shouldn't do that."

"Why?Gusto ko eh!"

"Fuck."

Natawa naman ako sa bigla niyang pagmumura.Parang hindi niya ginustong magmura but it came out.

"I never felt so single in my life." Napatingin ako kay Angel kaya napatigil ako sa pagtawa.I heard Mori chuckle kaya sinamaan ko sila ng tingin.

"Let's stop wasting time.Baka tuluyan na talaga tayo abutin dito ng gabi." Agad naman na nagsimula ulit kaming maglakad para hanapin yung head fairy pero halos wala naman ditong fairies kahit isa man lang.

"Tama ba yung lugar na napuntahan natin?Nandito na ba talaga tayo?" Mori asked.Lahat kami naguguluhan kung bakit ganito.

"Did we just failed the mission?" Tanong naman ni Angel.I sighed.Mukhang wala nga dito yung hinahanap namin.

"There must be something in here.Something that we can't see but we can feel." Napatingin kaming lahat kay Tyrone.I sighed again dahil nawawalan na ako ng pag-asa.

"Wait." I mumbled.I just saw something.

Naglakad ako papalapit doon.I really hope that I would find something.

"Ouch!" I heard a small voice behind a mystical tree kaya binilisan ko ang paglapit ko don.

"Uhm hello?" I peeked behind the huge tree...and I can't see anyone in here.

"Here!" I looked everywhere pero wala akong makita.Maybe it's just my imagination.

"I'm totally deceiving myself." I murmured.Tinignan ko sina Angel na nakatingin lang sa akin at walang balak na lumapit.Pati na din si Tyrone na nakapamulsa lang habang nanonood.

"LOOK DOWN!I'M HERE!HELP!" I followed the voice and there I saw a tiny fairy.Mukhang nasira yung left wing niya.I gently picked her up and put her in my hand.

We looked at each other na para bang pinag-aaralan namin ang isa't-isa, though it is clear that I am a human and she's a fairy.

"What happened?" I asked her.She looked at her wings tsaka siya napasimangot.

"I broke my left wing.Someone attacked me and I was caught off guard." Sagot niya sa akin.Lumapit naman agad sina Mori tsaka nakiusisa na din sa nangyari.

Then the fairy told us what happened why she broke her left wing.
