I had never thought that there comes a time that I would definitely had dificulty in learning. Seriously, all those things were messing my mind. They come one after another and I couldn't completely take a grasp of everything. It all happened at once. The terms used weren't even familiar. What irked me most was the man's face beside me. Just by staring at him, I'm certain he had something going on inside his mind."I'm sure you had an idea to where you belong."I felt my lips twitched and my brow raising up. I did my best keeping it all inside but unfortunately I could not. The way of speaking was affronting—appeared to be intentional.Later on, I just found myself being restrained by Merko. However, my hands still tried to reach for Yamiko. I somewhat knew it was impossible to break loose but my mouth was still free. "What are you trying to say then?" I didn't care if my stentorian voice broke the peaceful ambiance. The heck I care! I wrestled for a chance to escape but-—argh
"I'll trust you in Yamiko's care." I studied Yamiko's reaction warily. No visible changes. Great! I almost frowned again. Surely, my mind wanted to protest but the little stunt I pulled earlier held me back. The elder might have something under his sleeve-making him end up with such decision- but I hope he reconsiders."Why won't we send her somewhere? Into the unknown? Or she seemed fit to become a living sacrifice for the Shireka?"It was a voice not coming from around. Naturally, I turned back to see who it was and hola, another perfect creation. My mouth literally gaped and my eyes stopped blinking. Like some powers were preventing me to take my gaze off her. All I did was follow her every move. Even I was dumbfounded by my own reaction. It was something different than Yamiko and the rest.The beautiful maiden walk and it didn't take long when she reached my place.She stood inches away from me. "Mhh, Purelikon would be a better choice," she added. Her gaze landed on mine an
"Are you okey?" The question was supposed to know how am I doing. And I could draft and answer right away. However, guilt crept in as soon as my mind recalled my shameful actions.Yamiko was standing straight beside me, rather like a soldier infront of his superior, with eyes though looking cold seemed sincere.What a broad shoulder.Before I could even think of a more inane things, which I'd rather not, it will keep me awake whole night— my eyes moved and stopped at the wooden bowl he was holding. Fruits I guess but they looked odd to me. Probably because, they never existed to the world where I came from.I smiled. How could I not? After the arguement he was still here. If I were him, I wouldn't care. "I'm fine,thank you," I replied. "I have to apologize about earlier," he started. It wasn't completely his fault, I was too impulsive and didn't think before speaking as well. Had problems controlling my temper and I say things I usually regret at the end. But Yamiko was not bad at
It would had been like a feast. Perhaps a regale to entertain a new visitor. The problem was, the food set on the table infront of me, weren't something I see in my quotidian routine.I didn't make any attempt to move nor touch anything. Motionless like a doll placed on her own box not until I felt Yamiko's gentle tapping on my shoulder. "Are you engaging into some staring contest with food?" he asked. I faked a laugh. "Really? Funny."Ignoring my reaction, he handed me a plate full of these thingamajigs. I managed to subdue the threatening twisting of my mouth—which I'm pleased that I did cause I didn't want to look rude infront of all these keriekos. And not to mention the fact that Ruka was just infront of me, eating elegantly. My focus on the food was momentarily disrupted when I caught her smirk.That was odd. "Eat up," Yamiko said making me face him. I ended up admiring his almost perfect bearing. Look at that face, everyone could fall for it. It was too late to realize, I
"Come and sit, Rohama. These plants are harmless. It could be akin to mushrooms in human world. Avinos are common here during Time of Growing. "What Yamiko meant was the thing he was sitting at. I admit, it had similarities with mushrooms except that it was way bigger—enough to carry the weight of a man as big as Yamiko. He was atleast 6 flat. Time of growing was just one of the seasons here, which took place every first and second month of the year. It was when the trees, flowers and every plants started sprouting and flourish. I'm only familiar with four: winter, summer, spring and fall. But here, they had 6! Yes, six seasons which changes every two months! Unbelievable! They label it like these: third and fourth month was The Dark Moon's Charade. It sounded weird to me. It instantly initiated a question in my mind. Charade? Yamiko told me that it was this moment where the moon never appears and the entire sky was pitch-black. It was deemed to be the most the dangerous days in
The grading system may differ depending upon which school you are in. It helped teacher's identify who among their students were doing excellently and who were doing poorly. Here, there were no such things. Either you pass a test or you lose. I gulped the lump on my throat and squinted my eyes. How could I not identify this plant after so many times of trying? Where was I lacking? It was almost breaking my ego admitting that I had no idea. What is it called again? Shea? Rhea?"This plant is called Añera, " Merko stated. Ah, yes. Now I do recall what its name is. I displayed a smile in exchange for a frown which I really wanted to do right now."And it is used to brew potions that can heal poisoned beings," he added. I repeated those words in my brain. I don't want it to sink away like I never heard of it. Honestly, I had plenty of that moment here. I guess I am having trouble adjusting to this world.Merko placed the plant on the small table infront of me. I heaved a sigh. This rep
The long fangs was visible, might reach half a ruler if I were to calculate. It had two up and another two down. It kinda explains the slavering. Would say like a dog eyeing his bone. With that kind of teeth? It was rather difficult to keep your mouthouth shut.He—I'm quite certain that this creature was a male—his physique resembled that of ancient people in my Araling Panlipunan books. His shoulders were broad and hips bigger than someone in his size. He was sitting or more like squatting. It looked like what monkeys do but his butt never touched the ground. His knees were bent and I hate people with really long nails but his? Well, more or less 3 inches long. The hands were stretched to the ground as if he was so tired of carrying them.I am not really comfortable with whatever he was. The red eyes were not the same as Yamiko's because his was entirely red and had a black small orb at the middle acting as his pupil.And to complete his appaling look, his body was covered in hair
"I have just been gone for five minutes, Rohama. In that short period of time, this is what I get coming back?"I could see Yamiko's brow arching in exasperation. His eyes wandered around each corner of the room. It made him frown.The area was a mess. Books were spread at the floor like an earquake had happened. I thought of an excuse but couldn't articulate a logical one. "It's just b—ouch!"The cerulean creature pulled my hair with its small fingers. I tried to swat it using my hands but the transparent wings like dragonfly were fast enough to avoid my attacks."Sweet cheesecakes! It has three fingers! Just three! Yet it hurts like my scalp is peeled off my head!"Yamiko stood still at the doorway, probably enjoying my present situation. The little voice from the man-like creature nettled me even more. Yet , I couldn't do anything. It was so tiny, might just be five inches and it's flying. It got eyes, just a black dot, a nose and a mouth."If I'd take hold of you, you abhorren
