The Primordial Goddess

Chapter 9

Museum

"Alright. We called you two here because there will be an important thing that you two need to know." I raised my eyebrow at Mia.

Napailing ito sa akin at mukhang nasanay na sa ugali ko. Ni hindi ito nagagalit sa akin tuwing tinataasan ko ito ng kilay o kaya nama'y sinasamaan ng tingin.

I don't know why eh sa pagkakaalam ko ay ang alam niyang edad ko ay 20, katulad ng edad ng karamihan sa trainees dito. Alice is 19 though and Mia isa 25.

"Ano yun ate?" Alice asked. Sumandal ako sa swivel chair na inuupuan ko ngayon. Gaano ba ito kaimportante at talagang sa conference room pa namin kailangan mag usap?

"Let's wait for the president first." I sighed. Ang tagal.

I started tapping my hand on the table at nakita kong napatingin si Mia doon.

'Mas matanda ako sa babaeng to pero bat parang ako pa yung takot sa kanya?'

Oh, pinigilan ko ang matawa dahil sa narinig. Mahina lang ito pero rinig na rinig ko. Kaya naman pala hindi ako pinapagalitan.

Do I look scary? Intimidating?

Tinikom ni Mia ang kanyang bibig nang makitang nakatingin ako sa kanya. Hahaha I'm enjoying this!

"Oh sorry I'm late."

Napalingon kami sa bagong dating. It's the president. Umayos na kami ng upo at ito naman ay umupo na rin sa harap.

"Alam niyo na ba kung bakit ko kayo pinatawag." Damn, I wanna roll my eyes right now.

Paano namin malalaman eh late siya? Saka hindi naman siya papangunahan ni Mia. Hays mortals.

"Hindi pa po." Ani Alice. Ngumiti naman ang president sa amin bago tumikhim.

"We're going to talk about your debut." Nice.

"OMG!" Alice exclaimed, she looked so happy right now. That's good, ang tagal niyang hinintay to.

"Does this mean kasama ko si Nyx?" Tanong pa nito.

"Yes." Tumango ito, tiningnan ako ni Alice at ngumiti ng malawak. Nginitian ko rin ito.

"Isn't it too early for me to debut? Yung iba ay inabot ng years samantalang ako ay 2 months pa lang." Sambit ko.

"No, don't worry, your skills are good enough for a celebrity kaya ayos lang kahit 2 months pa lang. Mayroon nga na 10 days lang ang naging training days before debuting." I shrugged, okay fine for me.

Ayos rin dahil kasama ko si Alice. I smiled, Alice who's favorite is me. Nice.

"You two will start the preparation 2 days from now. So goodluck! I know that you two will do great. You may go now." Tumayo na ito at umalis.

Tumayo na rin kami, lumapit agad si Alice sa akin at niyakap ako.

"I'm so excited! We're going to be the best duo." She screamed, I want to cover my ears. Ang sakit sa tenga.

"Where do you want to go?" I asked Alice.

Tinamad kami magtraining ngayon kaya naisipan namin tumakas. Di ko nga alam kung takas ba yon eh nakita naman kami ni Mia na paalis at ang sabi lang samin 'Ingat kayo sa pagtakas. Balik bukas ng maaga.'

"Museum? May alam akong museum na puro about sa Gods and Goddesses. Now that I know na you're into it, punta tayo doon."

Oh wow mayroon palang ganung museun dito. Tinanguan ko ito at pumasok na sa taxi na pinara niya.

"Bakit kaya di man lang tayo pinigilan ni ate Mia?" I shrugged at her question.

I really don't have an idea. Imposible naman na hindi nito alam na di pa tapos ang training namin dahil isa siya sa nagttrain sa amin.

"Baka kasi pag nagdebut na tayo ay bihira na tayong makakagala na tulad ng ganito? Most celebrities now are disguising para lang makaalis, though nahuhuli pa rin naman ang karamihan." Napangisi ako sa sinabi nito.

Wala rin naman talaga akong time dahil ang mangyayari sakin ay celebrity sa umaga at goddess sa gabi.

Hindi naman ako pwedeng gumala ng gabi rito sa mortals realm sa aking goddess form dahil unang una we're big. Big like a giant, though pwede naman akong maging kasing laki ng mga mortal sa aking goddess form kung gugustuhin ko.

But no, the night will stop once na mawala ako sa lugar ng mga Diyos at mas piliing maggala rito, it will be a hassle.

"Yeah right, so we must enjoy it while we can still roam freely." Masaya naman itong tumango.

Nang makarating kami ay nagpastamp muna kami sa entrance bago makapasok.

"Woah." This place is full of statues ng mga Gods and Goddesses and there are informations about them sa ibaba ng statues nila.

Mayroon ring mga larawan na pinapakita ang mga naganap noon, wars, important gatherings and happenings.

Pagpasok mo ng museum ay makikita mo agad ang statue ng Holy Three, Zeus, Poseidon and Hades. Infairness kamukha nila ang statues, though sobrang kakapal ng beards nila rito.

Hmm I wonder where's my statue, or do I even have one?

"Tara dito, let's go to our favorite." Nagpahila ako kay Alice na ngayon ay sobrang excited.

Nagpunta kami sa isang room na may nakalagay na 'Rulers of the Night'

And there I saw the statues of us. Me sitting in the middle, on my left is Astraea and right side is selene. The three of us are sitting on the clouds and Erebus is at my back, his statue's pose is like whispering something on mine.

I read the information about me.

'Nyx is known as the Goddess of the Night, she is known for her shadowy figure and that makes her the perfect personification of the night. Not only making the night beautiful, she can also make people die in their sleep and give them nightmares. She's one of the most powerful Goddess even more powerful than Zeus that's why he is scared of her." Pft. I wonder what will be Zeus reaction when he read this. I'm sure his face will go red in anger.

Well yes, I'm very powerful especially when I'm surrounded by darkness. My powers always involve darkness but I'm not evil tsk.

Okay next, ang binasa ko naman ay ang information na about sa aming apat.

'The Rulers of the Night, they are known for making the night wonderful, with Erebus gloomy mist and Nyx darkness, Nyx scattered it slowly eating up the light made by Hemera and Aether, and Selene and Astraea making Moon and Stars visible and sparkly. The four of them are the perfect group for the night.' Wow they knew what's happening to us every night.

"Hey!" Pagtawag ni Alice sa aking pansin. Right, muntik ko ng makalimutan na kasama ko siya.

"What?" I asked.

"I wonder if that's really their faces? Look oh parang hawig mo pa si Nyx." Napatingin ako sa statue ni Nyx I mean statue ko.

Some features are right. Kaso ay mas maganda ako sa personal kaysa sa statue na ito. My nose there is not as pointy as my real nose! Also my hair, it's not straight. My hair have a natural wave tsk.

I'm really curious, bakit ang dami nilang alam about sa amin? I'll ak Zeus about it when I have time.

"Who knows." I shrugged atsaka hinila na paalis sa room na yon si Alice na mukhang nag dday dream na ngayon.

"Hindi ka ba nacucurious?" She asked. I shaked my head as an answer. Why would I be curious of myself?

"Stop thinking about those things. Let's go and look for the other statues and stories."

I'll make sure na malilibot ko ang buong museum na ito ngayong araw na ito. Nakakaenjoy basahin ang mga impormasyon na nandito kahit na alam ko na naman ang lahat ng iyon.

I'll make sure to mention this to Erebus later when I go back home and tell him the information about him that I read. I bet that he'll like it.
