Magnus Academy: The Cursed Blood

Chapter Ten

Sight Of A Falling Sky

"Masakit pa ba?" Tanong sa akin ng isang babaeng nakasuot ng mahabang puting damit, obviously a doctor. I then shook my head as a reply. "Well you're pretty strong, are you?" She smiled habang binabalutan niya ng bandage ang kanan kong braso na hindi ko namalayang natamaan pala kanina ng isang atake ng halimaw.

Nilibot ko ang paningin ko. Madilim parin ang gabi at patuloy parin ang patak ng mahinang ulan, at halos wala ding pinagkaiba ang sitwasyon ngayon sa kanina. There are still two monsters on the loose at hanggang ngayon wala pang nakakaalam kung nasaan ang tamang lokasyon nila. Aljen has been missing as well, and these people has started worrying.

Marami ang dumating, the sound of sirens rang through the whole area, may mga tao din na tinatawag nilang mga 'police' na nagpa-patrol ng lugar. Many bodies were laid unto te ground, patay yata ang iba sa kanila habang ang iba naman at talagang nawalan lang ng malay dahil sa mga natamong sugat.

I still pretty much don't understand anything. A short moment earlier and they just arrived and started surveying the whole place. Sila yata ang backup na tinutukoy ni Ivan kanina pero nahuli sila dahil pagdating palang nila ay tapos na ang lahat. And I can't help but get distracted at the people staring at me although I keep ignoring them, it's not as if I can't hear what they're saying.

Naiintindihan ko din naman sila, bago ako dito at ngayon ang unang pagkakaton na may lumabas na tatlong halimaw, so they are suspicious of me. Hindi yata sila halos makapaniwala na ako ang tumalo sa halimaw at nawalan ng malay si Ivan. They probably think this is some kind of consipiracy at ako talaga ang sumakit kay Ivan.

Well that idea is annoying but it isn't really that bothering, I should just be used to it instead. Kahit saan yata ako pupunta may mga tao talagang ang tingin sa akin ay ubod ng sama, again though not that I can blame them. Fate is playing a game, and I'm the kind of player that doesn't get to quit even if I wanted to. Fate keeps chasing me with ruthless rules and I'm always facing them anyway.

But for once, iniisip ko din minsan kung pwede bang tumakbo na lamang akong tumakbo, but when I do, then I'll be afraid to turn around, scared that no matter how far I run, fate's still behind me, binding me with its games. Who knows when it'll ever stop, but I do know it's not going to end so soon.

And to think maraming tao ang nadamay sa kaguluhang ito. Some were dead, some in critical condition, perhaps there are those who's traumatised. I couldn't help myself but stare unknowingly at these people, each of them feels different kinds of emotions. Sorrow of loosing everything, emptiness of being the only one to live, and anger directed to that monster from before.

It's unfair, I know. The more they feel powerful emotions, the more powerful I become, it makes me appear as someone who loves watching people suffer. Pero ganoon ngaba talaga? Hindi ako naaawa sa kalagayan nila, who am I to even dare? I just...sympathise with their emotions merging into mine.

Pero kaht anong galit nila ay hindi ko magawang magalit mismo sa halimaw kanina na ngayon ay isang batang babae. She became a monster herself because of powerful negative emotions being pushed inside of her, forcing her to be something she isn't. Nakakaramdam lang naman ng galit ang isang tao dahil sa naging salita o aksyon ng iba, they think it's unfair, they think the world is too cruel, they think they're the ones suffering.

Pero hindi nila naiintindihan din ang punto ng kinagagalitan nila. Or rather, perhaps they just don't want to understand at all dahil ayaw nilang mawala ang galit nila. And thus the birth of dark energy. And just now they are blaming that monster for everything? When they're becoming the same themselves? Human emotions are more complicated than I used to think.
