The Heirs of Eclipse (Heir Series #1)

3 - Princess

Hindi ko alam kung nasaan ako.

Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit ganito ang mga nangyayari sa paligid ko.

I can't clearly see their faces but I can tell that two young girls—one has a platinum blonde hair, one has a dark brown hair— were in front of me. . .

Weirdly, shards of ice and snow were coming out of the blonde girl's bare hands while series of bright lights were coming out from the brunette one's.

Seems like they're having fun.

They're throwing each other's creations to each other while their other hands are both creating walls made of ice and bright yellow lights respectively.

But then, the blonde girl missed a hit and her icicles directly hit the brunette's chest.

That moment, my whole body strangely felt cold and all of my senses were awaken.

Pagkamulat ko sa aking mga mata ay hingal na hingal ako na animo'y tumakbo ako ng napakalayo.

Panaginip lang pala.

My head was aching so I'm about to reach for my forehead but then, something stopped me.

Why the hell am I handcuffed?

Sinubukan kong magpumiglas mula sa pagkaka-posas ngunit wala rin akong napala.

Isang kamay ko lang ang naka-posas sa isang maikling chain na nakadikit sa pader at ang isang kamay ko naman ay malaya kaya't sinubukan ko rin 'yong gamitin para makawala.

Papaano naman ako napunta dito?

Ang tanging naaalala ko lang ay labis na takot na naramdaman ko kanina, ang aking panghihina at ang pagbagsak ng ulo ko sa lupa. Wala akong anumang ideya kung papaano ako napunta rito sa kinalalagyan ko ngayon.

Naramdaman ko ang paggalaw ng paligid at ngayon ko lang napagtanto ma nasa loob ako ng isang sasakyan na umaandar ngayon.

I raised my sight from my hands up to my front and I was more shocked when I saw someone—A guy, specifically.

Madilim dito sa loob ngunit ang ilaw na nagmula sa mga poste sa labas ay sapat upang makita ko ang muka niya.

He was sitting opposite my direction, facing me with a smirk and a serious face. He's not stating any word, his really deep and dark blue eyes were just staring me.

Tinapunan ko siya ng masamang tingin.

He's wearing a long-sleeved cerulean shirt topped by a shiny metal breastplate. He also wears shoulder plates with different hues, the right one was gold while the other has the same color as his breastplate.

There was a familiar crest painted with blue in the middle of his breastplate but I can't see it fully because his crossed arms wrapped by steel arm bracers were on top of it. Saan ko nga ba 'yon nakita?

To sum up his looks. Mukha siyang isang knight mula sa middle ages. Napaaga naman ata ang pagsusuot niya ng Halloween costume?

Pero hindi ko ipagkakailang guwapo siya. He has this quite long and wavy blonde hair. His eyes were blue.

"Sino ka?" Tanong ko sa kaniya habang matalim pa rin ang mga titig ko.

I was more annoyed when I didn't receive any answers from him. He just snorted and shook his head before his smirk went wider. Inalis niya ang pagkaka-krus ng mga braso niya at hinawakan ang espada sa tabihan niya.

"Shouldn't I be the one who shall ask you that question?" He spoke and his voice was deep. Pagkasabing pagkasabi niya ng mga katagang 'yon ay tinaggal niya mula sa kaluban ang mahabang espada at mabilis na tinutok ang dulo nito konting distansya na lamang mula sa kaliwang bahagi ng leeg ko. It was a double-edged sword.
