The Assassin In The World of Duastra

The People Waiting For Her

Third person's point of view

Mataas ang sikat ng araw na makikita sa bintana ng opisina ng isang magiting na heneral ng Amera. Maaga siyang nagising dahil inatake na naman ng masamang panaginip ang kanyang asawa na si Adrena.

Hanggang ngayon ay madalas na hindi pa rin ito nakakatulog nang mahimbing ilang taon na ang nakakalipas simula nang mawala ang kanilang anak na si Eda. Palagi napapanaginipan ng kanyang asawa kung paano pinagtulungan saktan ang kanilang anak at pagtangkain patayin.

Naging masama ang epekto ng pagkawala ng kanilang anak sa kanyang asawa. Palagi itong tulala, binabangungot at naghihisterikal. Hindi na alam pa ni Warren kung ano ang dapat gawin sa kaawa-awang asawa. Hanggang ngayon ay wala pa rin silang makitang bakas kung saan nila pwede itong mahanap.

Isang malaking misteryo at trahedya para sa kanila ang nangyari nung gabing iyon.

Hindi na niya nahuli pa ang kapatid niyang salarin dahil nagawa nitong makatakas papunta sa ibang kontinente.

"General Warren." pagbati at saludo ng isa sa pinagkakatiwalaan niyang mandirigma.

"Any news?" Malamig na tanong nito at binalingan ng tingin ang lalaki.

"Yes. After failing to find her in the kingdom of Roanza, I've tried to search in the Atopia kingdom. And there, I found traces of a girl who resembles her. ." Tairus reported.

Tairus is one his trusted knight. Few years ago, a boy applied to become one of the kingdom's knight. Tairus was exceptional in physical combat as well as using his abilities. He easily took over the position of vice commander and managed to gained his trust as well. That's why he gave Tairus the mission of finding his daughter.

"Have you met her?" Warren asked.

Napailing ang binata.

"I Apologize, General but I did not see a glimpse of her, that's why I couldn't confirm if the girl really resembles your daughter or not."

"Where is the girl?"

"Someone said that she was chosen to become a scholar student in the Retaliare Academy." Saad nito.

Kumunot ang noo ni Warren. Peasants undergo challenges in order to become a scholar student in Retaliare academy. Unlike in royalties and nobilities, they can easily become a student because of their status for it is said that nobles and royals inherited the powers in majority than the peasants.

Warren remembered her little daughter being different and strong. She has the most rarest power among the continent.

"Have... Have you found out about her ability?" kuyom ang mga kamao na tanong niya. He's badly hoping that she's their missing daughter. He's hoping that she's still alive.

"According to the witnesses I've asked. The girl doesn't have any ability. She was just... skilled in fighting." Tairus answered.

Napahinga nang malalim si Warren. Ayaw niyang umasa. Malaki ang posibilidad na wala na ang anak nila ngunit hindi siya maaaring sumuko hanggat hindi nila nakikita ang katawan nito.

"Here's your new mission, vice-commander Tairus. Enter the academy and find out if she really is my daughter." the general said with authority in his voice.

"I'll go ahead then, General." Pagsaludo ni Tairus.

Lumipas ang isang buwan sa akademya. Ang mga bagay na tinuro sa paraan ng pag-gamot ay nakamamanghang pareho lamang sa tinuro sa 'kin noon ni Maestro Aldos.
