2062 Words
Zion POV
Ivy and June are facing me right now. Of course, I know that I have a big chance to win. I'm an S class.
"Hey Zion... Do you remember our past?" June asked.
Kumunot na lang ang noo ko. I don't want to remember our past because it is haunting me. They are my enemy now so I should concentrate in our battle.
Ivy released a blackish green magic circle from her hands.
"Poison blast!" She shouted.
There is a blackish green jet light flashed on my direction. I put my hand in the air and I released a silver magic circle. I am summoning my holy weapon.
"Rosary whip!"
I released a whip made of holy rosary. It is a holy weapon. I cracked my rosary whip in the middle of her blackish green jet light. It looks like I cut through her magic.
She looks shocked because of what I've done. I smirked, I'm just getting started. I cracked my whip in the air. Pumulupot sa leeg niya ang sandata ko. She can no longer breathe.
"You're running for a Saint, right? It looks like you have no chance of winning!" I said.
"Let her go!" June shouted.
June is starting to cast her spell. Kailangan ko siyang maunahan. I put my left hand on her direction.
"Angel's halo!"
I released a group of sharp golden circles on her direction. I heard her loud scream. Tumalsik siya sa batuhan at mukhang hindi niya kinaya ang spell ko.
"Now, it's your turn Ivy," I said furiously.
I casted a spell. Lalong sumikip ang Rosary whip na nakatali sa leeg niya.
I snap my fingers...
Every bead of the rosary is starting to explode one by one. Sumabog din ang beads na nakatali sa leeg niya.
She is screaming so loud because of my powerful attack.
They are both lying on the ground.
"Just give up this fight. You two will never beat a sorcerer like me! My holy magic is more superior than your black magic!" I said furiously.
"I really adore your magic, Zion. You know that," June said anxiously.
Napahinto na lang ako. She is having a hard time to catch her breathe. Maybe, I'm too harsh with them but they are my enemies so I shouldn't pity them.
"Don't you remember how I loved you?" She asked innocently.
Her tears started falling from her eyes. I can see her weakness.
My memories are flashing back...
•••
I am standing here at the beach of Kreterra. I can feel the fresh air from the sea.
"Hey Zion! Happy monthsary!"
I looked at my back. June is hugging me. She's too sweet; too kind.
"Happy monthsary too," I said while smiling.
"Zion, I'm so happy to have you as my boyfriend. I want to ask you a favor," she said.
She is smiling at me but she looks too shy. I really love her. I know that she is the perfect girl for me.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Hmmm... Can you please-"
Hindi niya matapos ang gusto niyang sabihin. I held her hand and I kissed it.
Mukhang nahihiya yata siya...
"Tell me everything that you want. I will give it to you as long as I can," I said sincerely.
"Hmmm... Can you please train me?" She asked.
Kumunot na ang noo ko. I don't get her...
"What do you mean?" I asked.
She sigh...
"All of the sorcerers here in Kreterra are so good in battle. I know that I'm weak. I just want to protect myself. Ayokong maging pabigat sa'yo Zion so please, teach me how to fight," she said innocently.
Humigpit ang pagkakahawak ko sa kamay niya.
"You're not a burden for me ok? I will always protect you so you don't have to fight. I'm your savior; your protector and you're my healer, right?"
"But-"
"You don't have to fight ok? You're not weak. You're everything for me. Hindi naman kita pababayaan, June. I love you so I will always protect you," I said sincerely.
She started to smile sweetly...
"Thank you Zion..."
She's so sincere. She's the loveliest person that I know.
After a few months, nabalitaan namin na may nangyaring masama sa pamilya niya.
Tumambad sa amin ang sunog na bahay nila. Every person in their place are glaring at her.
Nabalitaan namin na sinunog ng mga tao ang bahay nila.
I feel bad, I never protected her. I saw her crying so much. I saw her pain. Guilt is residing inside me. I'm dying inside.
Hindi ko inakala na hahantong kami sa ganito. She is blaming me for everything...
"If I only know how to fight, it won't happen! Maybe, I protected my family! It's your fault Zion! I hate you! You never keep your promise to me! They died because of you!"
She ran away from me. I felt my warm tears from my eyes. It's my fault.
I never see her smile again. I never see the innocent and lovely girl that I used to love before.
She changed a lot. She fell into black magic. I never had a chance to ask for her forgiveness because I know that everything that I've done is unforgivable.
•••
"I'm sorry if you are still blaming me for everything, ok?" I said seriously.
She started crying. She is just lying on the ground.
"You don't know how I feel!" She shouted.
"Of course I know! My parents was killed by your queen; by your guild leader! I don't want you to be a part of their guild! You were consumed by your hatred!"
"Why? You don't love me anymore?" She asked.
Maybe, I should tell her the truth...
I sigh...
"Yeah... I'm starting to like someone," I said seriously.
She laughed an the smirked at me. I know that she's sarcastic.
"Who's that lucky person?"
I took a deep breathe...
"It's Sandra; the seer..."
She smiled...
"Bagay naman kayong dalawa-"
I looked at her. She is starting to stand up in front of me.
She glared at me...
"Bagay kayong mamatay!!!!!"
She released a high frequency of voice. It sounds higher than a dog whistle. All of the birds are flying away. I covered my ears.
Pakiramdam ko ay dumudugo na ang mga tenga ko dahil sa ginawa niya.
Tumigil na siya... Napaupo na lang ako sa damuhan. My ears hurts so much like hell!
"That's your strength Zion! You have stronger senses than us because of your holy magic but it can also be your weakness hahahah."
I can't hear her voice. My ears hurt so much. Ramdam ko ang pagtulo ng dugo galing sa mga tenga ko.
"Poison claws!"
I felt a burning scratch on my waist. I saw Ivy using her magic against me.
Tumalsik na lang ako sa may puno dahil sa ginawa niya. Ang sakit pa rin ng mga tenga ko. Hindi ko na alam ang gagawin.
"Hey Zion, It looks like we're gonna beat you hahahahah," Ivy said.
Medyo naririnig ko na sila kahit na masakit pa ang mga tenga ko.
"You will never beat me!" I shouted.
I'm starting to cast my spell. I put my hands in the air and I released a huge silver magic circle.
"It's time June! He can hear us now! Don't let him beat us!" Ivy shouted.
June smirked...
Would you come with me?
We'll swim the deep blue sea...
I stopped casting my spell. I looked at June. I can hear her angelic voice.
Ah.... Ah..... Aaahhhh....
She is just singing. I walked towards her. I smiled... I relaized that she has lovely hair and shiny eyes.
"He fell into my spell. Do it now, Ivy!" June shouted.
I don't know what's happening. I feel enchanted...
There is a girl who is walking in front of me. I felt her warm palm on my cheek.
"You fell in June's spell? Let me use my magic for you..."
She is glowing in blackish green aura. She moved closer to me and I felt her lips kissing mine. I closed my eyes.
And I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
Parang bigla na lang akong natauhan. Bumalik na ako sa katinuan. I heard Vile's angelic voice. Napatingin ako kay Ivy at hinahalikan niya ako.
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Like a rainbow...
I pushed her away from me and I fired a huge silver blast on her. Tumalsik siya palayo sa akin.
"Urgghh! I hate that healer! Where are you! Stop countering my spell!" June shouted.
Tumingin ako sa paligid. There is a guy who is walking towards us.
It's Vile...
June and I were both shocked. Vile is holding a staff with a blood red stone in the middle of two blades. The hilt has dragon carvings. Vile is holding Deus Ve Roca, the weapon that we are finding.
"You found that sacred weapon?" I asked cheerfully.
"Of course Zion. I can do everything that you want," he said while smiling.
We heard a laugh from someone...
Tumingin kami sa likod at tumatawa si Ivy. Buhay pa pala ang isang 'to.
"What's so funny?" I asked furiously.
"Hahahah... Don't you remember how I kissed you?"
I felt a heartache... It's a literal heartache. Napatumba na lang ako sa damuhan.
"Z-Zion! Are you ok?" Vile asked nervously.
Pinagpapawisan na ako. Natutuyo ang lalamunan ko at hindi na ako makahinga. Nanlalabo na rin ang paningin ko.
"Anong ginawa niyo sa kanya? Zion, what's happening to you?" Vile asked nervously.
"Poisonous kiss... Pretty clever right? Nilason siya ng halik ko hahahahah!"
Mangiyak-ngiyak na si Vile. Nagtatawanan lang sila June. I can't move. I can't stand up. I can feel Ivy's poison inside my body.
Kahit nahihirapan ako ay pinilit ko pa rin na magsalita.
"V-Vile... Get out of here. H-Hindi mo sila kaya."
"No Zion! I promised that I will protect you! I will never leave you!" Vile shouted.
"Oh... How sweet? HAHAHAHA!"
June and Ivy are just laughing so hard. Natatakot na ako sa pwede nilang gawin kay Vile.
"V-Vile please... Get away from here. That sacred weapon is more important," I said while coughing
Hirap na talaga akong huminga. Vile shook his head.
"I will never leave you!"
I looked at him. He is crying...
"Sige na healer, tumakas ka na hahahah. Ibigay mo muna sa amin ang weapon na hawak mo para hindi ka na masaktan!" June said.
"Yeah ahahha! Leave Zion here. He's no use for you! After five minutes, my poison will definitely kill him," Ivy said.
"He will never die if I am still living..."
I saw a red flash from Vile's eyes...
Hindi ko alam kung namalik-mata lang ba ako dahil sa lason.
He wiped his tears and I can feel that he is shaking because of rage.
"You will pay for this!" Vile shouted.
Nagulat ako... Lumalim ang boses ni Vile. It's not his usual sweet and innocent voice.
He looks fierce! He looks dangerous! He is holding the weapon tightly.
Nanginginig ang mga kamay niya...
"Hahahah... What are you gonna do? You will turn into a dove? Hhahaha."
"No! He's gonna heal us and beg for our mercy!" Ivy said.
They are both laughing but I can feel Vile's rage.
"Don't push me to use this weapon against you!" He said furiously.
He's not the same Vile that I know. Right now, he's brave and he looks fierce; he looks furious.
"Hhahahahah... Are you insane? Only black master sorcerer can use that weapon!" Ivy said.
Vile started to twirl the staff in the air using both of his hands.
I am so shocked. I can feel a massive black magic energy from the weapon. May itim na kuryente ang lumalabas galing sa sandata na hawak ni Vile.
"Hey! What are you doing, healer? Stop it!" June shouted.
"You're just a healer! You are not capable of using that weapon!" Ivy shouted with nervous.
Vile is not listening to them. It looks like he is controlling the sacred weapon.
Bigla na lang itinutok ni Vile ang sandata na hawak niya kila Ivy.
A huge black lightning was released from the sacred weapon...
Tumayo ang mga balahibo ko. This power is so terrifying...
June and Ivy are screaming. Tumalsik sila palayo at nawalan sila ng malay.
I was so shocked. Vile is a healer. He's not capable of using that weapon so I don't know what happened. He's not a black master sorcerer.
Maya-maya ay lumuhod na si Vile sa harapan ko. He is hugging me.
"Z-Zion... How do you feel?"
Kitang-kita ako ang pag-aalala sa mukha niya...
I can no longer talk because of the poison in my body. Alam ko na unti-unti na akong namamatay. Natutuyo na ang balat ko at kitang-kita na ang mga ugat ko.
"Don't worry Zion. I will always keep my promise to you. I will always protect you. I will never let you die!"
He is hugging me tightly. He is crying so much...
After a second, He put his palm on my cheek and I can feel his warmth.
"I can't afford to lose you..."
I saw sadness from his eyes. His tears are falling. Wala na rin akong marinig...
"I love you Zion..."
He moved closer to me and I closed my eyes but I felt his lips kissing mine...
