Against the God: End of the Gifteds (HIATUS)

52

[Alexis]

I have a smile on my sweet, innocent face.

This will end fast. I don't think it will need an hour for us to finish this. Walang kahirap-hirap, hindi na kailangang padaliin. 

So this is the Generation of Prodigies. They have strong gifts indeed, but all you need is a gift that can counter them, and it's done.

My love Dias will definitely be happy about this. Iniisip ko pa lang ang ngiti at pagbati na isasalubong niya sa 'kin ay umiinit na ang katawan ko, bumibilis ang pagtibok ng puso ko.

"Haelo, let's finish this fast," walang ganang sambit ko sa lalaking katabi ko, hindi pa rin nawawala ang ngiti ko. "Dias is waiting for me."

I want to see Dias now. Nauna siya sa amin. I'm sure that he wants to see his queen too, I know that he misses me.

Haelo looked at me, confused. "But Dias went ahead because he doesn't want to travel with you, right?"

For a second, my smile faded. Nanlisik kaagad ang mga mata ko at masama kong tinignan ang katabi ko. "Are you fucking deaf? Do you want to fucking die?"

He kept his mouth shut. Fucking saying nonsense. My love Dias just needed to go ahead to meet the bitch Andina. I'm sure that if he could just spend all of his time with me, he would.

"Look, while you're spouting nonsense, they're gone." Walang buhay ang mga mata ko nang malipat ang tingin ko sa pwesto ng dalawang peste. Wala na sila sa mga pwesto nila.

"Did they escaped?" tanong ng katabi ko.

"They can try, but they can't. Nakapalibot ang troop natin sa gubat, hindi sila makakatakas," sagot ko.

How funny it is to watch the Generation of Prodigies run, tails between their legs. I don't get it why their generation was called prodigies when they're just kids. They're nothing special.

"Go after them, let's kill them fast," ma-awtoridad na sambit ko.

Mabilis na sumunod sa akin si Heilo. He looks clumsy while running. For pete's sake, why is he Dias' king? Sinisira niya lang ang reputasyon ng minamahal ko.

Hinawi ko ang buhok ko at sumunod na rin ako sa paglalakad. Napangiwi ako nang makatapak ako ng putik, nakakadiri.

Stupid King and Executioner. It's pretty obvious that they're scared after seeing our gifts. They definitely know by now that we have the advantage. Bakit pa nila pinatatagal 'tong laban at hindi na lang sila sumuko? Inaaksaya nila ang oras ko.

Gravity doesn't mean anything. And dark, will never—ever beat light.

"Haelo!" I called out, irritated. "Have you found-"

Saktong pagdaan ko sa isang ilalim ng malaking puno ay bigla akong kinilabutan. Parang may dumaan sa 'kin, tumaas ang mga balahibo ko sa katawan.

Kumunot ang noo ko. Inilibot ko ang tingin ko sa paligid. "What the fuck was that?" I murmured.

I ignored it, thinking that it's just my imagination.

Nagpatuloy ako sa paglalakad. Mas lalo akong naiirita.

"Haelo!-"

I flinched when someone touched my shoulder. I almost used my gifted as I look behind me.

"Alexis!" Sumalubong sa akin ang mukha ng kasama ko.

Inis ko siyang hinampas. "Fucker! Where were you?!"

He looks troubled. "I can't find them, for some reason... I can't communicate with the troop too."
