The Spirit Martial

Spirit 07

I woke up early at hanggang ngayon hindi ko akalain na nakahiga ako sa kamang katulad nito. Sobrang laki talaga. When I went inside Kalaini's room yesterday, his room was filled with gold color-just like his eyes. Gold is really his color. Ang kwarto ko naman, it's filled with shades of blue. My sofas are dark blue but the pillows are light blue. There is also this huge mirror na nasa right wall, it's lining is blue and silver. Napangiti ako at napahawak sa ulo ko.

"How ironic, my hair had these weird blue highlights that always stood up because most of my hairs are black," I whispered to myself and I chuckled. "Ironic and funny at the same time," I added at tumayo na ako.

I went inside the comfort room para maligo. Lumabas ako sa CR na may tuwalya lang sa ibaba kasi wala akong damit na dala sa loob. Dumeritso ako sa malaking cabinet at binuksan ito. My eyes widened when I saw what's inside. The clothes were also in shades of blue at completo talaga. One part of it has clothes for my lower part of the body and the other part is for the upper part. The most peculiar thing is that, the shoes were shiny, not to mention na may accessories pa talaga- necklace, rngs, bracelets, earings, piercings, at iba pa. What the hell is this? This is beyond imagination and beyond my wealth. Ramdam ko ang pagiging hampaslupa ko, legit.

"Bagay sa iyo ito," a voice suddenly inserted beside me at agad akong napatingin. It was Kailani. He was wearing a white royal suit with golden linings in it. He wore two earrings on his right lobe and 4 earrings naman sa left lobe. He was smiling as he was raising a royal blue suit with black and silver linings on it.

"I didn't remember letting you in," I said at hinablot ang hawak niya. "p*****t," I added at ngumiti siya.

"Well, based on what I remember," said at kumuha ng white slacks at binigay sa akin. Agad ko naman itong kinuha. "This is my mansion," he added with a sarcastic smile at kumuha ng small dangling chains mula sa accessory area ko. He unlocked it at nilagay sa left ear ko. Well, he's right.

"Lumabas ka, magbibihis ako," I said at tumawa siya.

"Fine. Fine. You're no fun." he said as he pouted at lumabas.

Kailangan ko kasing magbihis ng magara kasi pupunta talaga kami ngayon sa palasyo. He said we'll meet his uncle, who will tell me everything that I need to know in this land. I can't attend school without any information, can't I? Para lang akong sumasabak sa gera na wala man lang dalang baril.

Sinuot ko na ang piniling niyang damit para sa akin. Kumuha na rin lang ako ng mga singsing na nilagay ko sa mga kamay ko. Inayos ko ang buhok ko at humarap ako sa salamin. I was startled when I saw myself at the mirror. It was like I was looking at a different person. I look like a prince. My blue hair highlights coincided with my blue royal suit together with my white slacks and black shoes at pati na yung accessories ko. Kung hindi ako kilala ng mga tao sigurado akong mapapagkamalan akong royalty, no doubt.

Napangiti nalang ako habang nakatingin sa salamin. I wish my mom could see this. I took some final touches sa accessories ko at lumabas na ako. Bumungad sa aking harapan si Kailani. Ngayon ko lang napansin na ang suot niyang black slacks ay my golden linings at may suot rin siyang mga sing-sing. His black hair also has gold colors at his end. Napatingin siya sa aking and stared at me from head to toe. He tilted his head as he smiled.

"Perfect," he said and I smirked.

"Ako lang to," I said as a joke and he chuckled.

Lumabas kaming dalawa sa palasyo at sinalubong kami ng napakalaking carriage na may apat na puting kabayo. The horse's tail was shinier than my accessories. How surprising. Uncle Jacob- yes I call him that now kasi utos ni Kailani- opened the carriage door for us kaya pumasok kami. I glanced out side and saw the huge tower from the castle na pupuntahan pa lang namin. Kinakabahan ako.

"This trip is quite short so don't fall asleep," he said and I nodded. "At please, you can say anything you want to say to me pero huwag mo ulit akong tapunan ng tea, baka ikaw ang matapon sa dagat," he warned and I frowned.

"I know," I said with a sigh. "Hindi naman ako ganon kabobo. I know my limits and I know when I should cross the line or when I shouldn't." I added and he nodded with a smile.

Ibabalik ko na sana yung tingin ko sa labas kaso nagulat ako when he glanced outside, his smile vanished. I hate it when his mood is like this. He was just staring at the window with a serious expression. Parang ang lalim talaga ng iniisip niya. Sa lalim ng iniisip niya, hindi ko gustong tawagin siya. It seemed like something inside him is asleep, a strong spirit to be exact. I wonder if his spirit is a dragon- or what kind of dragon is it? I have never heard or read anything about a dragon with golden eyes. Well, unless if it's a new type of dragon, that would be awesome!

Couple of minutes passed by, we arrived. I was about to tell him that I'm nervous and ask him what should I do but he still have this serious expression. Ito ba dapat yung expression niya pag labas? For what? To look tough to other people? I hate it. I prefer watching him smile and play tricks like a kid. It's more natural pero wala akong choice talaga kung hindi sundin yung expression niya. Tatanggapin kung ano mang sasabihin nila sa harap ko. I can already imagine hideous words thrown against me like how can a commoner like me be compatible with a highly intellectual prince like him or even underestimating my spirit kasi nga, Botanica Family are the weakest. Kahit anong mangyari,I should look tough- and act tough. Pinili kong mamuhay ng ganito kaya yayakapin ko ito ng buong-buo. Panagutan mo lahat, Cygnus.

Nauna siyang bumaba at sumunod ako. I stayed at his back kasi ayokong magmukhang mayabang. I'm just a commoner who got lucky na compatible siya. I glanced at me and he was staring at me. I froze and chills ran down into my spine.

"Walk with me," he said coldly at napalunok ako. "Walk with me Cygnus, do not walk behind me. That's an order," he added and my chest began to hurt. It was the exact location where he marked me. I hurriedly stepped forward para magkatabi kami and he smiled for a second and he looked in front.

I glanced in front and the soldiers were bowing down. We walked down the long hallway at pumasok na nga sa loob. My mouth almost opened when I saw what's inside. What in the holy world is this?! The statues are gigantic at ang daming bantay dito. Iba ata yung uniform ng soldiers sa loob at sa labas.

"Is there any reason kung bakit iba yung uniform nila? The soldiers outside had these silver armors pero dito, their armors are like in a shade of green," I asked.

"It's their rank. I'm not really sure about it but as far as I know, those soldiers with gold armors are SS rank soldiers which basically means that they are SS class spirit casters," he explained habang naglalakad kami.

"So in this castle, it's the commander?" I asked.

"It's the King," an unfamiliar voice replied behind our back kaya napatigil kami.

We both looked back and I saw a man na kamukha lang ni Kailani pero iba ang kulay ng buhok niya. His hair is shiny and it resembles fire. He has bright orange eyes too which makes him more attractive. He's wearing a white royal suit too but with orange linings. Kailani was wearing a black slack but he was wearing white.

"It's been a while," he said and he stepped forward. He stopped right in front of Kailani and stared right through his eyes. "Brother," he added at napalunok ako. Magkaaway ba sila? Ayaw kong makisama sa gulo nila kaya huwag naman sana akong madamay. Magkasama pa naman kami tapos yung suot ko halos parehas lang kami.

"Kali," Kailani answered at kumunot ang noo niya. Kali? Is that his brother's name?

Kali glanced at me and he smirked. Yes- they were taller so he literally looked down at me. I'm guessing they are around 190 cm while I'm at 185 cm kaya konti lang naman pero still, mataas pa rin sila.

"Is he your partner by any chance?" he asked.

"None of your business," Kailani replied coldly. Yes, may alitan nga talaga sila putang-

Nagulat nalang ako when Kailani grabbed me palayo kaya sumunod na lang rin ako. I glanced back and he was just smirking as we were walking away. I saw another man who just went out and he has this long silver hair with blue eyes. Just like us, he was wearing a royal suit but his was black with silver linings. Kali glanced at him and he suddenly grabbed that man and kissed him.

What in the hell did I just see?!!

I looked away at nagpatuloy sa paglakad. His brother just kissed a man, I wonder if he knows. I mean, it's not like I'm not supportive in that kind of romance, nagulat lang ako. Harap-harapan kong nakita iyon.

"Huwag na huwag kang lalapit sa kanya kapag makikita mo siya," he said and my wrist suddenly started to feel pain. I glanced at it and I realized that he was still holding it and he was still grabbing me.

"Hindi ba kayo magkasundo?" I asked at hindi siya sumagot.

"Sundin mo lang ang sinabi ko Cygnus," he said coldly. "Hindi naman siguro mahirap gawin iyon," he added and my mark started to get hurt.

"Yes," I added habang pinipilit ko ang sarili kong maglakad. I don't want this kind of vibe, Kailani. "Your Highness," I added as I bit my lower lip para tiisin ang sakit na nararamdaman ko mula sa marka.
