CHAPTER 3: THE PAINTING
I was in awe while wandering my eyes around in a hallway with a dark marble floor. The walls are made of different types and colors of diamonds and crystals. The chandeliers were not lit by light bulbs, but by green fire that reflects through walls, making the place look brighter or blue-ish, and I could even see my reflection in the wall.
I felt like I was in a palace or castle in a magical world because of how fascinating this hallway was. It was so magical, and whoever the owner of this castle-like mansion was definitely a wealthy person because all I could see around were just diamonds and crystals.
I also didn’t know that there was such a place in the world like this. I mean, I have never heard or watched the news on television featuring this place. Well, I&rsqu
CHAPTER 4: MEMORY GODDESS "W-What are you doing here?" My jaw suddenly slacked upon hearing that question, but no words came out from my mouth even if I wanted to because I felt like my throat was burning. But by the tone of his voice, I could easily identify or say that he was a man. His sultry voice was deep and husky. It was familiar to my ears, and I couldn't be wrong. It was him . . . the attitude guy with ash-blonde hair, grey eyes, and eyebrows earlier in the room where I was in. My hands trembled in fear but I just stood still, and waited for the next thing to happen. "Aren't you aware that it's forbidden to enter this room, aren't you? You have committed blasp
CHAPTER 5: ROYAL ACADEMYI have been attending my classes at the Royal Academy for two days now as O’Brien Exequiel, and almost everyone here knows me — I mean, as O’Brien. Kaya naging maayos kahit papaano ang takbo ng buhay ko sa mundong ito sa dalawang araw na nakalipas, and they were all nice at me. But I just didn't know if they still treated me like that once they found out the truth. Well, it was impossible for them to know my biggest secret because even me, I couldn't prove it — that I was Green Lemon, and not O'Brien Exequiel.O’Brien was known here as a very beautiful and kind-hearted woman. Kaya ang malaking problema ko ngayon dito ay hindi ko kilala kung sinu-sino ang mga kakilala niya rito. But fortunately, Celeste and Scarlet were always there to help me, though we were getting suspicious already of whateve
CHAPTER 6: HER FEELINGSNang makalabas kami ni Scarlet mula sa dormitoryo ay agad kaming sinalubong ni Catterfeld na mukhang kanina pa naghihintay sa amin dito sa labas."Gosh! Your Prince charming . . . " impit na tili ni Scarlet. She was even shaking the sleeves of my uniform due to her excitement upon seeing Catterfeld approaching us."H-Hi . . . good morning," agad na bati ni Catterfeld sa amin ni Scarlet nang tuluyan siyang makalapit.Humagikgik si Scarlet sabay tulak sa akin palapit sa kaniya, kaya naakap ko siya, at tumama pa ang mukha ko sa dibdib niya."Pasensya ka na, huh? Mahiyain talaga iyang childhood . . . "Agad akong dumistansya kay Catterfeld at tinaasan ng kilay si Scarlet para pigilan siya sa kung anuman ang susunod niyang sasabihin. Nakaka-irita kasi minsan ang kadaldalan ng babae na ito. Kung anu-ano ang mga lumalabas sa bibig niya.
CHAPTER 7:"Mabuti naman at narito na kayo," agad na sabi ni Celeste nang makita niya kaming palapit sa kaniya. "Ba't ang tagal n'yo? Kanina ko pa kayo hinihintay rito," tuloy pa niya kaya pa-simple akong napatingin kay Scarlet.I was silently wishing that she couldn't tell what happened on our way here in the training ground. Pero alam ko naman na kahit anong gawin ko ay hindi ko siya mapipigilan. Walang makakapigil sa kadal-dalan niya. Kaya sarkastiko na lang akong natawa nang mahina.Nagkasalubong ang mga kilay ni Celeste nang mapansin na pareho kaming natahimik ni Scarlet. "Ah, so . . . something really happened kaya natagalan kayo. A-Ano iyon?" nakangiti niyang tanong, kaya tila natuod ako sa kinatatayuan ko."
CHAPTER 8: THEIR GOALSThe fight of the boys goes until the last pair. And it was interesting and entertaining to watch their fighting skills and techniques. Surprisingly, I was learning from them as well, but I wasn't really sure if I could apply it to myself. Well, it was really impossible because I couldn't even wield a single spell of magic. So, all of those learnings were just useless, but the good thing was, I learned different physical combat skills, which I confidently think that I would be able to do if I would try. I just need to practice it when I have free time.The duel between the boys lasted for almost six hours, so Master Zen and Mistress Herrera let us have our lunch break first before resuming the fight of the girls in the afternoon. So, we were now heading to the dining hall, and we just have given an hour for this
CHAPTER 9: FLASHBACKBigla akong nagising dahil sa malakas tinig na narinig ko sa isip ko. Umupo ako sa aking kama at hinilamos ang dalawa kong palad sa mukha para tuluyang magising ang aking diwa."A nightmare!" bulong ko bago abutin at tingnan ang oras alarm clock na nakapatong sa lamesang malapit dito sa higaan ko.I took a deep breath when I saw the time. It's only 12 midnight. I still have a lot of time to sleep and rest.Hihiga na sana ako muli nang bigla kong marinig ulit ang tinig sa aking isip. Isa itong sigaw na hindi masakit dinggin. Ang sarap nitong pakinggan. Para niya akong tinatawag."It isn't a nightmare?" I asked curiously while holding my blanket. Until I heard it again the voice that cause my heartbeat to accelerate even more."Who are you?" I mentally asked. I suddenly felt nervous though, but I have to show that I am brave and strong. Thi
CHAPTER 10: SAVING HER“Woah! The three weak children of the Neonians are here together, isn’t it amazing?” The woman’s voice caught our attention. We all turned to her.May kasama siyang isang babae, at parehas na nakataas ang mga kilay nila sa amin. Ang babaeng nagsalita ay kaparehas ng suot na uniform si Celestes, habang ang kasama naman niya’y kulay berde ito. At hanggang ngayon ay hindi ko pa rin maintindihan kung bakit iba-iba ang kulay ng uniporme namin. Dahil ba ito sa pamilyang mayro’n sila? That when you are rich, you should wear blue, green when middle class, and red when poor? But no, Virgo, Scarlet and Starlet are siblings, but Virgo’s uniform color is different from the twins. So what’s the matter?“And look, Jasmine, they have three Legacy companions, a new weak, and Virgo’s siblings with another man. What is this, a reunion of weak students
CHAPTER 11: LOST IMMORTALSIt has been a week since the combat training happened. After anyone knowing that I forgot how to wield magic, Celeste, Scarlet and our Masters and Mistresses helped to attend or do different training that could bring back my capability on how to wield magic.I knew that it was really impossible for me to wield any kind of spell of magic because I wasn't belong to their races, pero dahil hindi naniniwala sina Celeste at Scarlet sa mga pilit kong sinasabi sa kanila na hindi ako si O'Brien ay kailangan kung um-attend ng iba't ibang klase ng training na sinasabi nila kahit hindi na kaya ng katawan ko at ayaw ko na.Wala akong magawa kun'di ang sumunod sa kanila, though I couldn't also deny that I really learned something from them. And because my abili
