Magnus Academy: The Cursed Blood

Chapter Ninety-Seven

Until Death Interferes

"She certainly didn't make it easy for us to escape." Naiinis kong bulong habang tumatakbo kami ngayon palayo ng palasyo.

Kasama ko na ngayon sina Alvin, Accel, ang dalawang magkapatid na sina Iriel at Caina, Silverrium, and of course, my spirits. Also, for some reason ay kasama namin ngayon si Millard. The battle took three hours before I knew it, and while escaping earlier ay nakita ko si Silverrium, already freed the rest by himself. At ngayon ay tumatakbo kami palayo sa mga guards. Since they are palace guards, they are free to use their abilities dahil narin sa mga lacrimas nila.

Lunox fell unconscious when I left her and didn't have time to ask her kung ano ang ibig niyang sabihin. I, myself didn't expect this turn of events and right now we don't have a choice to run. Hindi naman pwedeng kalabanin namin ang mga spirits, because they clearly won't stand a chance if all of them let out their abilities. Dahil magkaiba ang enerhiya ng tao at ng spirit, and we didn't want to cause further damage into this world.

"Lumiko kayo dito!" Millard yelled as we ran through these busy streets of the city. Not a single spirit around paid us heed kahit hinahabol na kami ng mga guards.

Sinundan namin si Millard na sa unahan naming lahat at lumiko sa madilim ma alley aa kanan. Ilang segundo ang nakalipas ay bakita naming lumampas ang mga guards sa kung saan kami nakatago. Panting, Accel slid right through the ground habang nakasandal sa may pader. Kahit ako ay nanghihina narin, it's exhausting having to battle then run around the city for several minutes.

Silverrium immediately went ahead to gather enough energy pra makabalik na kami sa orihinal na mundo namin. He wastes no time huh? Kanina ko pa nararamdaman na ayaw niyang tumagal dito. Sumandal akk sa pader medyo malayo-layo sa grupo to sort out my thoughts about what happened.

Napatingin ako sa kamay ko, opening and closing it. That power I felt from earlier, parang hindi ako makapaniwala dito. I wonder what would have happened kung pumayag ako sa gusto niya. Kahit ligtas na kami sa ngayon ay hindi parin ako sigurado na tatahimik lang si Lunox at tatanggapin ang mga nangyari. It won't be long before we meet again...someday.

"Just what were you thinking?!" Galit na wika ni Theone sa tabi ko. I turned my head to his direction to face his glares. Galit na galit talaga siya, at hindi ko alam kung bakit.

"I came here to get you two, ano ba sa tingin mo ang iniisip ko?" At niligtas ko na sila, kaya bakit pa ba siya nagagalit? "If you're angry about me coming here which causes spirits to disappear dahil sa enerhiya ko, then I'm sorry. Pero wala na akong magagawa dun, I made up my mind to get the two of you back, at wala akong planong pabayaan kayo dito."

"Wala kaming pakealam sa ibang spirits! I'm angry on how you carelessly rush ahead like that!" I frowned, basically mad now.

Theone never gets mad like this, he's always cool at palaging sangayon sa mga ginagawa ko. Hindi ko naiintindihan kung bakit siya galit, normally he would be totally calm right now na parang wala lang nangyari. Bago pa man ako makapagsalita ay lumakad na siya palayo sa akin while rubbing his hair in anger. Tsk, I still can't understand my spirits after all.

Tinignan ako ni Alvin, shaking his head at tapos ay pumunta kay Theone. Bakit ba parang lahat sila medyo nagagalit sa akin? Why are they disappointed? I saved them! I just fought a Spirit Keeper which had high chances of me being killed at ganito ang mga reaksyon nila?!

"Calm down Keila...ah should we call you Ke'ala now?" Tanong ni Ziandra habang lumapit siya sa tabi ko. Kanina ko pa siya napapansin na tahimik lang, na para bang may malalim na iniisip. Ziandra's mostly the talkative type between my spirits, but I feel something disturbing her emotions. What is it?
