Journey To The Forbidden Library

It has been already weeks since I last met that Exodus guy, o hindi ko alam kung totoo nga siyang myembro ng Exodus pero hindi ko ramdam ang pagsisinungaling niya. Wala akong sinabihan tungkol sa pagkikita naming iyon dahil ayaw kong mangamba na naman sila.

Dahil kakatapos lang namin sa Black Clan, and I don't know what will happen if I told them about the movements of Exodus. I know I will only endanger the island more I keep it to myself, pero huwag muna ngayon. Until I find the link between that traitor from the Council and the Black Clan, I will not bring up Exodus.

Right now papasok na kami ouusa Magnus Town. The big sign in the middle of the two towers at the opposite sides above us, was the sign they were home. As usual, the people in this town is so lively like everyday is a festival. Some welcomed our appearances knowing we came from a battle, and some just didn't care and returned to their daily lives. Malawak ang capital, enough to be a city and it's more prosperous than other cities, pero Town parin talaga ang pangalan ng lugar na ito, so they decided it to be a town.

Isang buwan din kami nawala sa lugar na ito, and we notice the change in temperature. It has already become colder, napansin din namin ito simula nang lumakbay kami pabalik, and thankfully we never met any troubles along the way since those bandits. And yes, those Knights caught up with us after defeating those bandits, ibig sabihin ay magkaiba ang grupo ng mga bandits na yun at ang mga sumusunod sa aming grupo ng Exodus.

Back to the weather though, patapos na ang buwan which marks the end of the autumn season, ibig sabihin magiging winter na, reason of the cold weather. I can see children running around already wearing their coats. And from here, makikita ko na ang Academy. The Academy is so massive and big that anyone can see it from other towns.

Pumasok kami sa may forested area, which served as a barrier around the whole school. Matapos dumaan dito ng ilang minuto ay nakikita narin namin ang malaking gates, besides are giants wall which prevents us to see behind. May limang Knights na nakabantay sa labas ng gates, and after Captain talked to them, bumukas narin sa wakas ang malaking gate.

Nasurpresa nalang akong makita ang karamihan sa mga studyante na naptigil sa mga ginagawa nila. They all stared at our direction happily, it seems they already knew we were successfull on pushing the enemy away. Their chants and cheers rang through the back of my mind, and it was annoying. I groaned as I felt their energy radiating in my body, suddenly I became more tired.

The carriages stopped on the grounds just in front of the gianst marbled staircase. The stairs were a hundred, making me roll my eyes. Teachers came to assist most injured students at mabilis silang tineleport papunta sa hospital sa bayan, because we just couldn't stop there earlier sa dami namin.

Despite the fact that my legs were aching, I continued to step right up the huge staircase. Hanggang sa narating ko narin ang sa itaas matapos ang ilang minuto. It was said na ganito talaga ang hagdan para mas ma-train ang mga studyante sa endurance nila.

Pagdating ko sa itaas ay may malaking bukas na double-doors dito, directing me to the lobby. Sa itaas ng lobby ay ang chandeliers, glistening in light, reflecting those around it, kaya nagmumukhang mga gintong kumikinang ang mga bagay dito.

I don't know why I'm actually describing things unusually today, I just feel somehow different. Others were really happy when they returned here, saying they're home as their friends greeted them. And for the first time, or was it? Anyway, I felt a pang of jealousy, I was envious they had a home to return to, friends to consider as family. I sighed as I smiled bitterly. It makes me remember my friend and family back home. Home huh? Is it still considered my home when I left it voluntarily?
