34 - Incoming

"Louise.........i need help." Nanginginig na sambit ni Alliyah.

"What happened?" Tanong ko sakanya.

"Spring spire.......my-my family is in danger."

"He's doing it again....he's attacking worlds again." Naiinis na sabi ni Rian. "Calm down Rian and All—-"

"How can i calm down Louise. That void destroyed my world! My family!" I sighed and looked at him. "Satingin mo may magagawa ba yang galit mo Rian?" Tanong ko sakanya. "wala diba?" Dagdag ko pa.

"We need to plan and Alliyah we will save them. But we need a solid plan. This might be a hard fight."

Everything is blurry. All i can hear are voices, but the voices are different it sounded like the voices are in pain. The ground is full of blood....the sky is so so dark.

But I couldn't see who is infront me. It's too blurry to see. Flashing light——more like blasting powers are everywhere.

I can feel the hot air in my skin. I....i can feel pain. "No.....this must be a vision a dream."

Then i woke up. Mabigat ang pag hinga ko, tinignan ko ang paligid ko. I'm still in my room. Safe......for now. That vision.......it's scary....it's scaring me to death.

Are we gonna win or are we gonne die all? What's the message of that vision? It's unclear....so unclear.

What bothers me the most.....my visions are starting to feel real. My visions is slowly turning into a nightmare. Sometimes i just don't wanna close my eyes. I'm scared that i might see the future again. I'm starting to think that....this....my abilities.....are a curse.

I opened my book. I need a background story about the void. I continued to flip the page but I couldn't find anything. Nothing. Nada.

"Come on. There must be something about him" nakakunot nuo kong sabi habang patuloy parin ang pag lipat ng pahina. "Come on my show me some thing!"

"I need to learn about the Void before facing him again. Come on mom! Tell me something!"

3rd's person's POV

"Tell——" Louise felt a weird sensation and unconsciously closed her eyes when she touched a specific page.

In the beginning there was nothing.We were that "nothing". We were in our eternal slumber, we were at peace. The absolute silence, the absolute nothingness.

One day, these elder gods came and gave birth to creation. A disturbance in our silence. The opposite of our existence. Our existence have been vast for eons so we didn't mind these little lifeforms forming around us. They continued conquering our space while we remained unconscious. None of them knew that we even exists. They simply called the empty spaces that is us as "The Void."

"What?" Louise asked her self as she gained her self.

"Darkness, existed first." A voice said. She looked up and saw Mikhaila. Standing in front of her.

"Nothingness. That was what existed at first. The void wanted revenge. Gusto niyang kunin ulit ang mga bagay na kinuha natin sakanila. They are our Ancestors. Dati walang masama at mabuti. Ang mayroon lang ay kawalan. But everything changed when two God's was born. King Bianco and King Oscuro. The creator of good and bad." Mikhaila continued telling Louise.

"You knew about this?" Louise asked. Feeling betrayed. Mikhaila smiled wickedly. "You forgot a banshee can live thousand years. I saw everything with my own eyes. The chaos that your grandparents cause."

"How they create good and bad.....how they changed everything and it turns out to be a mess."

"They messed things up so bad."

"Now that the Void has awaken. He will do the same. He will destroy the world they created" seryosong sabi ni Mikhaila.

"Are you not scared of dying?" Tanong ni Louise sakanya. Mapait na ngumit sakanya si Mikhaila.

"I've tricked and hide from death for a long time. Oras na para harapin siya. Besides the world is too cruel to live in anyways" Umiling-iling si Louise. Nadismaya siya sa narinig niya mula kay Mikhaila.

"You know the rules Louise. Break them. Chaos."

"Everyone, enter the portal." Louise ordered. Everyone followed her. One by one they entered the portal to Spring Spire. Where everything started....

"Guide us." Louise whispered to herself.

"What the fuck happened here?" Bungad na sambit ni Jaylou ng makita niya ang ngyari.

Everything....everything is dark. It's not the same place anymore. It's not the spring spire i know anymore. "Oh god no." Bulong ni Louise.

Halos lahat sila ay hindi makapaniwala sa nakita. "Let's find my family first." Natatarantang sambit ni Alliyah. Agad kaming gumalaw at nag lakad papunta sa lugar kung saan nakatira ang pamilya ni Alliyah.

Humahangos na pumasok si Alliyah sa bahay nila. Agad ko ring inikot ang paningin ko nag hahanap ng bakas. Sakaling makita ko ang isa sakanila.

Pero wala. Wala akong makitang bakas ng kahit ano.
"Alliyah. Kumalma ka muna baka naman....naka takas sila kaya wala sila dito. Wag ka muna mag isip ng kung ano ano." Sinubukan pakalmahin ni Sharmane si Alliyah.

Umiling-iling si Alliyah. "Louise! We need to find them!"

"Meron ba kayong napagusapan pag may nangyaring ganito?" Tanong ko kay Alliyah. Umiling sa Alliyah.

"Wait." Singit ni Jelo.

"Anong meron Jelo?" Tanong ko.

Natahimik si Jelo. Tila nakikinig sa paligid. "May sinasabi saakin ang hangin." Sabi ni Jelo.

"What has a head but never weeps, has a bed but never sleeps, can run but never walks, and has a bank but no money?"

"A riddle?" Nag tataka kong tanong.

"I forgot. Alice is a Riddle Whisperer. That's her ability." Tila nag liwanag ang pakiramdam ni Alliyah. "But sometimes she give the most confusing Riddles"

"What has a head but never weeps..."

"Has a bed but never sleeps..."

"Can run but never walks.."

"And has a bank but no money?"

"A River."

"A Liver?" Tanong ni Rian.

"A River! Yes a river! We need to hurry! Alam ko na kung nasaan sila. They are waiting for me, for us!"

Mabilis kaming lumabas ng bahay nila at nag mamadaling tumakbo. Sinundan namin si Alliyah. Dahil siya ang nakakaalam kung saan kami pupunta.

"We are near." Sigaw niya.

"Incoming!"
