Nythera Galanoth: City of Atlantis

WAVE 6: Immortal World

WAVE 6

Immortal World

Andito kame sa circle nila Morton at Morris. They call their home, circle. If we will be going into the immortal world, Rogue said that we would need their knowledge and power.

Si Blood at Rose ay naiwan sa palasyo ng Genesis kasama si Cyan. Ash went to the Kingdom of Chalcedon while Dark went to the Kingdom of Dawn.

Hindi sila pwedeng sumama dahil kaylangan nilang manatili at protektahan ang mga nasasakupan nila. While Rogue and I, together with Morton and Morris would have to travel to the Immortal World and defeat the king of Yorumi.

Easier said than done. I'm actually very scared. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang nagaantay samin sa hinaharap. We would have to pass and fight those black sirens or the people of King Noxus.

We don't know, maybe he has an army waiting for us to be killed! I closed my eyes and sighed. Pag dilat ko ay tumingin ako kay Rogue na kausap sila Morton at Morris.

They were holding a map in the middle of the table. Maybe plotting stuff since we would be leaving at first light.

Napatingin muli ako sa dagger na kinuha ko kanina. How did this turned into a sword? And who is Mirienella? Is she the former owner of this sword? And my eyes? Why did they suddenly turned blue grey?

Napahawak ako sa ulo ko nang makaramdam ng matinding sakit dito. I closed my eyes and I saw vision of a lady. She was practicing combat in a yard. She's holding a sword and doing different attacks and defense.

"Marina... Marina!"

Napatingin ako kay Rogue. Nasa harapan ko ito at nakahawak sa magkabilang braso ko. He looks worried. Nasa likod nya si Morton at Morris.

Rogue sighed. "What happened?"

I took a deep breath and avoided his eyes. "I- I, ah, saw a vision in my head..." I looked at my hands.

"What vision?" Morris asked.

Tumingin ako dito. "It was just short. I don't even know who that lady was. She was holding a sword, practicing in a yard. That's all..."

Nagkatinginan si Morris at Morton. Rogue pinched the bridge of his nose. Nilingon nya ang dalawa at tumango.

Rogue held my hand. "Come with me,"

Tumingin ako kay Morris at Morton bago sumama kay Rogue. Hinawakan ko ang isang braso ko saka hinimas. Bawat segundo na nandito ako ay lalo lamang akong natatakot.

Rogue brought me to a room. Umupo ito sa kama. Ganoon din ang ginawa ko. "Hey... don't worry about it. For now rest because the moment we start this journey, it will be one hell of a ride."

Tumango ako. He caressed my hand. "If ever you have visions again just tell me, okay?"

"I'm scared," pagamin ko dito.

Humigpit ang hawak nya sa kamay ko. "It's okay to be scared but remember that I will protect you. Always."

I relaxed and slowly drifted to sleep. I woke up in the middle of night. Kumunot ang noo ko nang makitang nagkaka g**o ang mga tao. They were running frantically and there were fires from house to house.

A guy held my hand and pulled me. "Let's go!" he shouted and I ran with him.

Napatingin ako sa paligid. Ang daming tao na sugatan. Umawang ang labi ko. Ang iba ay mga wala nang buhay. Anong nangyayare?

"Hindi ka makakatakas!" sigaw ng isang matandang lalake at parang baliw na tumawa.

Napapikit ako nang makaramdaman ng matinding sakit sa ulo. Pag dilat ko ay huminga ako nang malalim. It was just a dream. Just a dream.

Tumingin ako sa labas at magliliwanag na. I got up and fixed my hair. I put it in a tight braid. The last thing I'll have to worry about this journey is my hair.

"I'm about to wake you up pero gising kana pala," sabi ng isa sa kambal. He swam near me and held his hand out. "I'm Morton, we haven't properly introduced ourselves haven't we?"

Tumango ako saka inabot ang kamay nya. "Marina,"

"Aalis na tayo," sabi neto. "And Marina, if you ever saw something or have visions, please tell us so that we can help you."

"I will. Paano ba tayo pupunta sa mundo nyo?"

Ngumiti si Morton. "Morris and I will be opening a portal. Let's go..."

Sumunod ako dito. Sa labas ay naabutan namin si Rogue at si Morris na naguusap. Bumaling sa amin ang dalawa. They were carrying huge back packs.

"We can only open the portal in front of the mystic waterfall. We better get going bago pa tayo maabutan ng mga tauhan ni King Noxus," sabi ni Morton.

Tumabi sa akin si Rogue. Morris and Morton lead the way. Napabaling ako kay Rogue nang mapansing tingin ito ng tingin sa akin.

"What?" tanong ko dito.

Umiling ito. "You tied your hair,"

Napahawak ako sa buhok ko. "Yeah... Baka makasagabal lang ang buhok ko sa mga gagawin natin kaya," nagkibit balikat ako.

"Don't think about it much. Wala pa naman. Let's worry about it pag nandyan na,"

We swam for about thirty minutes then we arrived to the mystic waterfalls! Umahon kame ang it was automatic that we have legs. Even Morris and Morton.

The falls is so beautiful. So magical. Sobrang linaw ng umaagos ditong tubig. The flowers beside the falls are so colorful and pretty!

Binuksan ni Rogue ang bag na dala nya saka inabot sa akin ang damit at sapatos. It was a white lacy top. My bottoms was automatically replaced with a gold skirt. Nagdamit din sila Morris at Morton. Ganoon din ang ginawa namin ni Rogue.

"You guys ready?" Morris asked.

Nagkatinginan kame saka tumango. Morris and Morton chanted something infront of the waterfalls. Nagsitaasan ang mga balahibo ko nang unti unting pumalibot ang mga kumukinang na ilaw sa waterfalls. It was surrounded with pixies and the waterfalls is slowly having an opening in its middle.

Rogue held my hand and looked at me. "Let's go,"

Sumunod ako kay Rogue at naglakad kame papunta sa portal. Tumango sa akin si Morton. Tumawid kame duon ni Rogue at sumunod naman si Morris at Morton.

Nakakasilaw na liwanag ang sumalubong sa akin. I held out my hand to cover my eyes so I can see clearly. Morris and Morton closed the portal and the mystic waterfalls from the mortal world looks the exact identical here in their world!

Nang tuluyan na akong nakapag adjust sa liwanag ay kaagad akong namangha sa kagandahan ng mundo nila. Butterflies, pixies, and colorful flowers are all over the place!

"Wow..." iyon lamang ang lumabas sa bibig ko.

Tumabi sa akin si Morton. "We're at the Elven Kingdom, El Cris. Hindi tayo pwede pumasok agad ng Nythera Galanoth dahil naka kalat ang mga tauhan ni King Noxus,"

"We need to move now. Some of the Elves loathe Moglins because they think that they're superior and because of ancient history..." bumaling si Morris sa malaking palasyo na tanaw namin. "Moglins and Elves promise to not cross paths ever again,"

Nag simula nang maglakad sila Morris at Morton. Sumunod naman kame ni Rogue. Hindi ko mapigilan ang pagka mangha sa kahandahan ng lugar ng El Cris.

"Wait till you see Nythera Galanoth," Rogue said. "It's even more beautiful," sabi neto at ngumiti.

Ngumiti din ako. "Saan na tayo pupunta ngayon?"

"Pupunta tayo sa bahay ni Ashifia. She's a witch elf but don't worry because she's a friend. I've known her even before the tragic faith that Nythera Galanoth faced," he explained.

I nodded and looked around. I held my hand out and touched the flowers while walking. I inhaled the fresh air and smiled.

I thought I would never be able to walk again. But here I am. Walking and having the privilege to discover and witness a whole new world.

We may face danger later, tomorrow and the other days for we don't know who our enemies are but for now, I am thankful. Thankful that I can walk and see this beautiful place.

We stalked inside a forest. Nakarating kame sa tapat ng isang bahay. It was a house covered with flowers and gold spiral details. Must be an elf thing.

"Morris, no-" Morris already knocked on the door.

Napabaling kame kay Rogue. "Why? What's wrong?"

Rogue pinched the bridge of his nose before looking at Morris. Unti unting naging green ang balat neto. His flawless skin became like the skin of an ogre! Lumobo din ang katawan neto at lumiit!

"What the hell..." Morton mumbled.

I was scared with what happened but not surprised. Sa lahat ba naman ng mga nakita at nalaman ko netong mga nakaraang linggo ay ngayon pa ako magugulat? I should know that magic and spells are everywhere in this world.

"Cerulean Khalel, what a pleasant surprise..." a very seductive voice echoed around the house.

Cerulean Khalel? Is that the real name of Rogue?

Tumayo ng maayos si Rogue. "Ashifia, I would appreciate it if you'd turn my friend back to normal first,"

Suddenly, a very beautiful and sexy lady appeared in-front of us! Her body is very curvy, like the shape that you would form with your hands in the air. She was wearing a gold body hugging dress that complemented her white creamy skin.

She have long white thick hair that's tucked in between her long and sharp ears. Her nose is small and pointed, lips red and plump. Her eyes sparkling with her long lashes.

She smiled. "My apologies. I have my door under a spell for intruders,"

Bumaling ito kay Morris. She waved her hand in the air and chanted some spell and Morris came back to normal!

Morris looked extremely pissed but when he saw Ashifia it looked like he was enchanted by her beauty! Lumapit si Morton sa kapatid nya at tinapik sa braso.

Bumaling muli si Ashifia kay Rogue. Sandali ako netong tinignan. Her eyes widened and looked at Rogue again.

"Is she?" she asked even though she looks like she's sure of whatever she's thinking right now.

Rogue nodded. "Yes, and please we need your help."

"Well then, let's head inside first..."

Her house door opened and we proceeded inside. The interior of her house consists of white and gold. Everything was so classy and magical...

"I'm Morris..."

Napalingon ako kay Morris. He extended his hand to Ashifia. The elf smiled at him pero bumaling ito kay Morton. Ignoring Morris's hand.

"Twins... and you're a mage?" Ashifia pertaining to Morton.

"Yes, and you're spell back there was fascinating." sagot dito ni Morton.

Bumaling ako kay Rogue na nakatanaw sa isang picture frame. Bago pa ako makalapit ay ibinalik nya na iyon saka tumingin sa akin.

"You're real name is Cerulean Khalel?"

Lumapit ito sa malaking bintana. Sumunod ako sa kanya, hindi tiantanggal ang titig.

He nodded. "Yes. But my people have long forgotten it,"

"Because of the war?"

"Most of them don't even remembered what happened before, mostly the new borns of course. They don't know that their true land and world is taken away from them," umiling ito. Brows creased and his anger is very evident on his face. "We chose to protect our people before but this time I'll do whatever it take to take down, King Noxus. My people don't need to sacrifice their peace and happiness just because of his selfish traits!"

Humigpit ang hawak neto sa railings ng bintana. Ang mga ugat sa braso nya ay lalong lumabas. His muscles firmed and bulked! Tila nang gigigil sa galit at determinasyon.

Slowly, I put my hands on his shoulders. Napatingin ito sa akin. Tila nagulat. "I'll help you..."

I didn't know where I obtain the courage to say it but deep down in my soul I just know. That I will help him with his goals. To take down, King Noxus for the people of Homo Mermanus. For his people.

To be continued...
