MORTA OF IMPERIAL HOUSE

Wakas

MORTA'S POINT OF VIEW

Nang mabilinan ko na si Erno at Equina ay muli akong lumabas. Wala akong ibang magagawa kung hindi ang harapin si Lukio.

I need to kill him this time for sure. I really need.

"Why are you here?" Tanong ko kay Lukio ng makalapit ako dito.

"I am here to see you, my little niece" pahayag ni Lukio.

"You know, you can't kill me here inside the Imperial House but you know, I can kill you, right now" sad ko kay Lukio. Tumawa naman ito ng malakas.

Nangunot ang noo ko. Muli kong sinubukan na kontrolin ang dugo ni Lukio ngunit wala akong maramdaman na kahit na katiting na dugo sa kaniyang katawan. What the hell is happening? Why is he still alive without even a drop of blood?

"You can't right? I thought so too" natatawang usal ni Lukio habang nakatingin sa akin at sa naguguluhan kong ekspression.

"You're too powerful for your own good. I am not even a match for you. You can end my life in an instant with just a blood but that's all you've got. I drained my blood so I can face you and kill all your love ones. Then you can go berserk all you want" nakangising saad ni Lukio sa akin.

Hindi ko naman alam ang gagawin ko.

"Are you even still a human?" Tanong ko kay Lukio.

"I already abandoned humanity a long time ago"

"What did you do to yourself. Did you rip your heart out just to put a core of life inside you?" Tanong ko pa dito. Umiling naman si Lukio.

"I experimented a lot just to meet you again. Be grateful. It's pretty similar to the core of life but their function are different" pahayag ni Lukio.

"Then, I can kill you now using my blood right?" Tanong ko kay Lukio.

Natigilan naman ito sa aking sinabi.

"I'll tell you my secret. I already see the future. You came at the right time but it's different. It's totally different from what I saw" saad ko kay Lukio.

The timeline is the same. The only difference is the thing that about to happen.

Mabilis kong inilabas ang punyal na nakatago sa aking kasuotan.

Itinapat ko ang dagger sa aking palad.

"No, don't do that Morta"

Hiniwa ko ang aking palad. Huli na ng marinig ko ang sigaw ni Adralia.

"Master, I think there's something dangerous inside his body" pahayag naman ng aking crimson orb.

Natigilan ako at napaluhod dahil sa kakaibang sensasyon na aking nararamdaman. Bumigat ang aking hininga at hindi ko maramdaman ang aking mga kamay at binti.

"This time, I successfully made a core that can suck your blood, Morta. It can also poison you and it will kill you slowly. You know, I lost my hallucination magic together with my blood that's why this is the only option I have" usal ni Lukio.

Pinanood ko kung paano pumasok ang aking dugo sa katawan ni Lukio.

"Adralia, Call Damian. He can kill Lukio" saad ko dito.

"Yes, Morta"

"You came because you see the future right? Is this what you saw?" Tanong ni Lukio sa akin.

Hindi naman ako sumagot.

Ang totoo nan, hindi ito ang nakita ko sa hinaharap ngunit alam kong parehas na oras at panahon. Maging ang suot siya ang parehas. Ngunit iba ang pangyayari.
