Tale 12
Resurrection Chapters
Cold was the night and all the activities of the day are finally calming down.
"So it's really there." Puna ng isang magandang babae na nakatayo sa ibabaw ng Bridge of Judgment. Nakabaling ang kanyang mga mata sa ibaba ng tulay. Sa makapal na hamog na nakalalason.
"It's you who put it there. It's also you who put this poisonous mist to prevent others to discover it." Saad ng isang pulang ibon sa balikat ng babae.
"It's a really deadly poison. Good thing I know the antidote." Saad ng babae, si Amara
Tumalon si Amara pababa. Naglaho sya sa makapal na hamog. Kung may ibang makakakita sa ginawa nya ay siguradong hihimatayin ito sa takot. Wala pang nakakabalik ng buhay matapos mahulog sa nakalalasong hamog!
"Found it." Nakangiting saad ni Amara.. Naglakad sya papalapit sa isang maliit na templo na nababalot sa makapal na hamog.
Pumasok sya sa loob ng templo at saka uminom ng antidote. Agad naglaho ang lason na kumakalat sa kanyang ugat kanina.
"I was really cautious back then." Komento ni Amara.. Sa kanyang kamay ay mayroong isang maliit na libro.. Hindi.. Isa itong Grimoire. May tatlo lamang itong chapters.
"Resurrection Chapters." Saad ni Unbearable, ang putting pusa..
"One of your strongest magic." Dagdag ni Damnable, ang pulang ibon.
"When you reincarnated in your second life, you possessed the five strongest magic because of Ember. Even the gods grew wary of you. You built empires in your succeeding lives.. You became a goddess later.. That was a really brilliant era." Blabbermouth
"But because of that, you anger the gods. You were such a headache back then." Buntong hininga ni Damnable
"When the gods can't take it anymore, they sealed your memory about the five magic in your thirteenth life." Unbearable
"Yes.. Those gods! Good thing I made a copy of those five magics and hid them away.." saad ni Amara
"But it was a long long time ago. You don't even remember where you hid them." Naiiling na saad ni Unbearable
"I will find them. I need power.. This might be my last chance to meet him again." Seryosong saad ni Amara
Hindi nakatugon ang apat..
Binuklat ni Amara ang Grimore...
"Tsk.. This is really complicated.. I have to study it again in this life.." buntong hininga ni Amara
"Anong gagawin mo kung may ibang tao ang nakatagpo sa apat pang magic?" tanong ni Unbearable
"Do you think they can learn it? Even a genius will waste his entire lifetime trying." Amara
"Well that's true. The five magic is the strongest magic after all.. Besides, you have a terrible handwritting in that lifetime. They wont understand a thing even if they try." Damnable
"......" Amara
The next day, a lot of people gathered on the gate of Thousand Crows. Kahit ang mga ordinaryong mamamayan na napapadaan ay nagtataka.. May event ba?
Isang kalesa ang lumabas ng gate.. Agad nabalot ng sigawan ang harap ng gate ng guild..
"Amara safe travels!" nangibabaw ang boses ni Aurio sa lahat
"My goddess take care of yourself!"
"I will wait for your return!"
"Safe travels my future wife!"
"Lady Amara take care!!"
"Have a safe trip my love!"
"Huhuhu I will miss you! A week is too long for my heart!"
"My love! Come back!!"
"Uwaaaaahh! She's gone!"
Natigilan ang lahat ng mga taong nakasaksi sa kakaibang pangyayari na ito.
Samantala, sa loob ng kalesa, may limang taong nakaupo. Tatlo ay Level 5 Experts habang ang dalawa ay ang Master Alchemist na may hawak sa 5th at 3rd Division. Importante ang job offer na ito para sa guild dahil nakasalalay ang kanilang pangalan dito. Kahit pa isang henyo si Amara pati na rin si Lyndon, mas mapapanatag ang guild kung may kasama silang Master Alchemist. Kahit pa isa itong job offer mula sa Bloodmoon Alchemy Guild, ang totoo ay isa itong indirect provocation. Kung tatanggihan nila aang job offer na magbigay ng lecture sa mga Level 1 at Level 2 Experts ay magmumuka silang talunan. Hindi sila maaarimg mapahiya.
"We cannot lose face in the one week lecture, is that clear?" saad ng Master Alchemist ng 3rd division ,si Master Flint.
"Yes Master!" magalang na tugon ni Ayla, ang kasama nilang 5th Level Expert mula sa 2nd Division.
Tumango lamang si Lyndon..
"Importante ang lecture na ito dahil nakasalalay dito ang pangalan ng ating guild." Dagdag pa ng Master Alchemist ng 5th Division, si Master Roland.
"Ang guild natin ay mayroong hundreds of years history samantalang isang bagong established na guild lamang ang Bloodmoon Alchemy Guild seventy years ago. Ganun pa man, nakikipagkompitensya na sila saatin sa pusisyon ng number one alchemy guild ng State of Aragon!" Master Flint
"Kailangan nating ipamuka sa kanila ang katotohan! Tayo ang number one guild!" Master Roland
"Yeah!" cheer ni Ayla
"So what topic did the three of you agreed upon to lecture on the first day?" usisa ni Master Roland
"Something basic but deep, we decided to discuss the proper method of choosing seasonal plants on the first day." Tugon ni Lyndon
Tumango-tango ang dalawang master.
"Good choice. It's good that the three of you easily reached an agreement." Master Flint
"Errrr.. About that..." napasulyap si Ayla kay Amara... "It was actually Sir Lyndon's idea. Lady Amara didn't even share her opinion. She's a genius so I was hoping that she could participate as well.."
Napalingon ang lahat kay Amara na nakatanaw sa labas ng bintana..
"Lady Amara, this lecture requires three people. This concern you as well.. Please participate since the payment will be equally divided among the three of you." Master Flint
Hindi sila pinansin ng dalaga.. Mukang may malalim itong iniisip habang nakatanaw sa labas.
"Lady Amara??" Ayla
No response.
"Kid, show some concern!" napipikon na si Master Roland.. "This is a very important lecture for our guild!"
Nilingon sila ni Amara na tila naririndi sa ingay nila..
"This is a big chance for the three of you to make a name for yourselves!" Master Roland.. Hindi sya makapaniwalang ang isang henyong tulad ni Amara ay walang interest na makilala sa larangan ng alkemya.
"If you're waiting for me to care, I hope you brought something to eat cause it's going to be a really long time." She said flatly
"..........."
"It's just a lecture.. What's the big deal?" huling saad ni Amara bago nito muling ibinaling ang kanyang atensyon sa labas ng bintana.
".........."
