Magnus Academy: The Cursed Blood

Chapter Forty-Three

Time Stopped?!

Napahawak ako sa may masakit kong ulo. I don't really remember what happened, pero ang alam ko lang ay parang maayos na ang pakiramdam ni Iyana. She's back at her usual bored self, hindi katulad nang una kaming makatapak sa lugar na ito, I felt her unstable. At first I thought it was my imagination, but it turns out siya ang may pinakaproblema sa lugar nato.

Even Andrea was acting weird. She's unusually quiet. She's as confused as me. Iyana explained na isa siyang spirit noong bata pa siya na nakatira sa mismong Lethum Mountain na ito. Nagkaroon lang siya ng physical na anyo dahil sa lakas ng enerhiya noong mga panahong iyon. Her real name is Nissi. She had a best friend named Iyana Klein na ilang taon nang pabalik-balik dito dahil sa isang portal na kaniyang nadiskobre.

Anyway, one day Iyana just got into a freaking accident nang pumasok siya sa portal papunta dito. That was when the energy in this area gradually became low which caused disturbance in space and time. She died. Si Nissi naman, in her spirit form, decided to take over Iyana's body kaya sila nagpalitan. But she never expected na naging spirit si Iyana. Both of them ddcided before that Nissi would live as Iyana Klein expecting na mawawala din lang naman ang totoong Iyana dahil humihina na ang enerhiya.

Pero tsaka lang ni Iyana nalaman na hindi pala mawawala ang kaibigan niyang espiritu dahil dun siya halos lumaki sa basement. It's like where she stopped before stepping into afterlife.

Iyana told us not to call her as 'Nissi' dahil hindi niya na yun pangalan. She's actually liking her physical form. Pretty complicated right? Well sila na ang bahala sa mga buhay nila, patay man o hindi. The fact that a ghost actually possessed me is unforgivable!

And now, Iyana is leading kung saan posible makikita ang portal. The real Iyana knows where the portals sre dahil dito siya dumadaan noon. It gradually disappears after you passed into it pero babalik din naman matapos ang ilang araw.

The thing is, Iyana thought her best friend already disappeared but...

"Wah!! Matagal na akong hindi nakalabas. Na-miss ko to. Hey Keila tignan mo oh, that's actually called Brittle Flowers." She said beside me. Like I could actually see it. Don't get me wrong, hindi ko sila nakikita. Yes, sila. Unfortunately, the other spirit is still following me.

"Oh shut up." Naiinis kong bulong. Kanina pa siya salita ng salita sa tabi ko and I don't have any idea kung bakit ako lang ang makakrinig sa kanilang mga spirts but it's damn annoying.

"Ang ingay ng isang 'to. Hey Kea, why don't we just keave her here?" The guy spirit said. We?

"Kailan ba ako nagdesisyong sasama kayong dalawa? You stay here and wait for your banishment. And my name's not Kea!" Galit kong bulong. Since sa likuran ako naglalakad, I doubt anyone can hear it.

Geez. I'm so pissed. Thinking a spirit possessing you is creepy as hell.

"The portal will be up that hill." Wika ni Iyana sabay turo sa may nagglo-glow sa iababaw ng hill.

"Oops, I wouldn't go there if I were you." Wika ng isa pang Iyana sa tabi ko.

"Why?" Pabulong kong tanong.

"'May isa pang portal pero malayo dito." Well this one is better. "Magigising ang guardian." Kumunot ang noo ko.

"Ah kahit nga ang mga spirits ay iniiwasan ang lugar na yan." Said that boy spirit.

"Walang monsters sa Lethum Mountain."

"Who said it was a monster?" Sabay nilang tanong.
