Arkion—Born To Be A Queen?

"Why would your brother be here?" Tanong ni Andrei. Kami ngayon ay nakasakay sa isang karwahe papunta sa palasyo. I looked away, a hint of annoyance was visible on my face.

Her question was spot on. Why would my brother be here? Siguro nga tama si Zen sa sinabi niya kanina na baka namamalikmata lang ako. Pero nung mga oras na iyon, siguradong-sigurado ako sa mga nakita ko. Pure deep darken blue eyes gazing straight at mine. There's no way na makakalimutan ko ang mga matang iyon.

I sighed staring at the view of different trees by the sidelines habang nalalampasan din namin ang iba't ibang tao. I have never expected Zyrendel Kingdom to be this well off. Sa paggawa palang ng mga buidings, sa pananamit ng mga tao, their technologies, and that certain peaceful ambiance surrounding the entire place. Perhaps I wouldn't have had gone through so many things kung sa una palang nandito na ako napadpad.

"Hey," may humawak sa balikat ko kaya napatingin ako sa tabi ko, it was Zen. "You seem really tired." Was my exhaustion that obvious?

"Tired or not, I don't want you to get distracted now Ke'ala. You didn't think we came here just to hide, did you?"

"Of course not." I returned Andrei's gaze with reassurance. "Ano ba talaga ang gagawin natin? Palagi mo nalang tinatangihan sumagot sa mga tanong ko."

"Sasabihin ko din sa'yo sa huli. I don't want to make you anxious, so don't worry about it now." She says not to worry about it now, but it's only making me anxious more. Especially how she avoids my gaze whenever I ask questions. Why does she always love avoiding questions anyway?

"Ah we're here." Zen suddenly stated to break th awkward silence while smiling down at me. I looked away while staring back at the scene outside the window.

My eyes grew wide upon looking at the scenery before my eyes. Pumasok kami sa isang malaking gates, at dahil siguro sa magarbong karwahe na sakay namin ay alam na nila kung sino ito kaya mabilis na umalis ang nga gwardiya sa daanan at yumuko bilang respeto sa unang prinsipe.

Nang nakapsok kami sa gates, the carriage moved around a small circular fountain patched with statues on the middle, and the way the sunlights reflected on these designs, anyone could tell they are not hust any ordinary gemstones, yup they are gemstones.

Dumaan naman kami ngayon sa isang mahabang tulay

Dumaan naman kami ngayon sa isang mahabang tulay. Sa bawat gilid ng tulay ay may waterfalls dito and surrounding this entire palace is actuall a big river. I couldn't help but stick out my neck at such a wonderful sight. I've always loved watching the flow of water and the sound they make while clashing with rocks gives a sense of peace. But at the same time, it also bothers me due to past memories.

Tumigil bigla ang karwahe sa unahan ng mahabang hagdanan. Pero sa itaas ng hagdanan na ito, ay may isang higanteng golden statue of a woman wearing an armour with angel wings behind her back, a shield on her right and a sword on the other hand. Sa sobrang laki ng golden statue na ito ay tiyak nakikita ito ng mga tao mula sa bayan.
