Chapter 6

My understanding about thee world of chimera broaden when Mr Leomoro discuss the basic knowledge about it. It's really an eye opener.

Their culture was different to human society. This what I know.

Mas active sila sa gabi. Obvious naman 'yung reason. Most of the chimera is sensitive to light.

It's ok to kill but one must be careful. It doesn't mean na libre pumatay ay gagawin mo na kaagad dahil gusto mo lang.

Most of the Chimera ay belong sa iba't ibang organization. Once you hurt one their member they will hunt you. If you're confident with your ability to accept the wrath of organization members then you go.

But most chimera don't kill for fun. They only kill if they have deeper reason. Hindi sila nagpapadala sa kanilang emosyon. And it's a waste of time to enter unecessary fight.

Ako kabilang sa Astramore Family. So oart na rin ako ng organization. Mr Leomoro told me that apilyedo lang daw 'yung meron sa 'kin. I'm not a member of the organization of our family. 'Yung mga official member daw is may tatoo sa kanilang katawan. I don't have that.

I ask him how can I joined our family chimera's organization he don't know. Usually 'yung mga nakakapasok lang daw sa organization is 'yung mga qualified at pasok sa standard.

Kadalasan pag nasa outer layer ka na ng core power mo may chance kang maging official member.

Hindi pa ako qualified. Siguro si dad is member ng organization ng pamilya namin. I know that he is strong.

Parang gusto ko tuloy buksan 'yung mga kabaong nila ay alamin kung may tatoo ba sila sa katawan. I want to know what's the image of our family organization symbol and it's name.

But I can't to that. I can't disrespect my family dahil lang sa kuryusidad ko. Now I have a new goal added to my list I want to join our family organization. Sigurado ako na marami pa akong malalaman na sekreto pag naging opisyal na miyembro na ako.

Madaling isipin mahirap gawin.

Mr Leomoro also explained to me the law of our power. There is 5 stages of our power. The last one and also the weakess stage is Outermost layer. Ang level kung nasa'n ako.

Next is outer layer kung nasaan si Mr Leomoro.

Nest is inner layer. Those chimera who break through this layer have high ranking in their organizations.

Next is Metamorphosis. It's the closest to the core power. Here there is a quantitative changes. Mr Leomoro hadn't see chimera who reach this level. But based on what he heard fom gossip. Metamorphosis level chimera was able to alter their physical apperance, they become humanoid that have extra ordinary strenght and power.

The first stage is The Ultimate. Those who reach this level are called themselves demigod and sila 'yung nagmamaintain ng peace and order of this world.

They don't live here but in the cosmos. Mr Leomoro know very little about them. They are legends and worthy to be respected despite their cold nature.

I'm very gratefuul to Mr Leomoro for sharing this worthess pice of knowledge to me. Kung ako lang I might not able to know this information.

Mr Leomoro is a member of organization but he is not a member anymore. They exile him because they saw him as a threat.

Hindi nya sinabi sa 'kin 'yung buong detalye. I can sense na hindi niya gustong pag-usapan ang bagay na 'yun. I respect him.

One night after I wake up I cleaned my self in the bathrooom. I bring candle with me since walang ilaw dito sa loob.

As I stare my self in the miror I notice the huge changes in my face. Since I can only see outlines I can't point out clearly kung nag mature na ba 'yung mukha ko or baby face pa rin ako.

Ang bilis ng pagtubo ng buhok ko. Last month maikli pa ito ngayon hanggang tuhod ko na. Para na akong babae.

Mr Leomoro told me that this is normal. His hair also grow hanggang pwetan niya na. He has a manly build hindi bagay sa kaniya, 'yung long hair niya it changes his whole demenor. Parang elegant brute warrior.

Mr Leomoro made a comment about my physical apperance, he suggest that dapat magpalaki ako ng katawan kasi hindi daw halata na lalaki ako.

I exercise everday, push up, curls up and other intense exercise activity but my physique remain the same. Hindi nga ako nagkakalyo sa palad ko kahit nagbubuhat ako ng mabibigat na gulong at bakal minsan.

Our guest was this is the uniqueess brought by my power. Siguro 'yung pagiging delicate at elegant 'yung symbol namin.

Kina Mr Lemoro naman they symbolize disease and suffering.

So 'yung build niya noong hindi ko pa siya ginamitan ng passive skill ko. Despite having a mascular body 'yung skin niya is very dry and his lips was pale. 'Yung katawan niya is parang nalunod sa tubig ng matagal.

Kahit healthy naman daw 'yung kinakain niya 'yung katawan niya is parang may sakit. Parang half dead.

Pagkatapos ko sa 'king night routine bumaba na ako.

Nasa sala lang ako nakaupo nagbabasa ng libro sa sala. Maaga pa 'yung gabi. Mr Leomoro was cooking our foods. He is more skillful to me in cooking and he knows how to cook that will fit the taste of a chimera.

Tinuruan niya rin ako but since I accepted that I don't have talent in kitchen hindi pa rin satisfactory 'yung luto ko. Malasa lang hindi masarap.

Maraming pinagbago sa everyday life ko. Now ang gabi ko is parang umaga. I am like a nucturnal animals, it's ok since 'yung mga kagaya ko is ganito din naman. It's not abnormal.

After we finished our night breakfast nasa sala kami ni Mr Leomoro. And there is a envelope in front of us. It has a sealed which I don't know what represent.

Ang kulay nito ay itim, pula 'yung selyo. Napansin ko na seryoso 'yung mukha ni Mr Leomoro. I'm very curious about the origin of this letter. Sino 'yung nag send nito sa mail box ng gate at kung ano ang laman nito.

But I choose to shut my mouth. My inside is telling me that this envelope will bring disharmony in our life. Parang ito 'yung sandok na paghahaluin 'yung mga hiwalay na sangkap.

And I can't really describe it feeling ko hindi maganda 'yung laman ng sulat. I don't know if I am being judgemental here and advance mag isip. Still I trust my guts. I can read fate.

I can see the outline of Mr Leomoro is shaking a bit. He is scared or what. I don't ask.

Kinuha niya ang sulat. I watch him as he broke the seal and open the envelope. May lamang papel. Since gusto kong malaman kung ano ang nakasulat pa simple akong sumilip. I know I must not do this since I am invading privacy, hindi ko kayang I stop 'yung sarili ko.

Napansin yata ni Mr Leomoro na gusto kong malaman ang laman ng sulat. He gave it to me which I gladly accept. Since pinakita niya sa 'kin ang sulat I'm confident na isha-share niya ito, tama nga ako.

I'm sure na hindi ito galing sa mga relatives namin. Normal envelope lang naman 'yung gamit nila hindi itim na papel and the symbol was very foreign for me. I know na para kay Mr Leomoro ang sulat.

'1 month from now you are invited in the game!'

Ito lang ang nakasulat. Walang adress, wala ang name ng ng sumulat. Parang hindi mail boy ang nag deliver ng envelope na 'to but 'yung sender mismo.

I'm very confuse. Parang kilala ni Mr Leomoro kung sino nag send nito since I can't see confusion in his face.

"Anong ibig sabihin nito Mr Leomoro?" I asked him.

"I thought na hindi nila malalaman na buhay pa ako. I did underestimate their capability to investigate. They manage to locate me in short period of time.

Fate damay ka na talaga sa gulo at problema ko. This is an invitation about the hunting games. This games was conducted once every 10 or 15 years.

It's purpose was to find a new leader that will replace the old leader.

I only have one month to prepare. I need to train harder and improve my abilities effectively in short period of time."

I understand Mr Leomoro said. Base of the term 'hunting games' it's about the predator hunting his prey to devour. And the winner will be the new leader of I don't know what organization. But I think it's the organization that Mr Leomoro joined.

Pero sabi niya na exile na raw siya. I don't really understand it. Parang nagsisinungaling siya sa 'kin.

"I don't understand everything. 'Di ba Mr Leomoro you had mentioned to me that you were exiled in the organization you had joined. So bakit nakatanggap ka pa rin ng invitation to participate in the game kung hindi ka na nila member?"

"Yes they exiled me. But I am not completely exiled since it was not approved yet by the main branch of the organization.

'Yung branch ng organization na kinabibilangan ko they tried to eliminate me because they don't want me to join this game. They create fake crime for me, they set-up me. Because of that nadamay 'yung family ko. They were killed as their son make a heinous crime.

To be honest Fate I'm very glad na nakatanggap ako ng ganitong invitation. In the game I might achieve my revenge."

"How can you join this game? Pag masyado kang lumayo sa 'kin our link will weaken it might affect your performance. Baka manghina ka o ano since I am like a gasoline and you're an engine. Pag wala ako hindi ka gagana."

"Hindi naman strict 'yung rules. I can bring outsider in the game basta hindi pa member ng isang chimera organization."

Nanlaki ang mata ko. If I have a weak control in my emotion baka napatayo na ako sa pagkagulat. I'm not prepared to hear this yet. Ang abrupt kasi.

"What?" I don't know what to say.

"I'm not forcing you Fate. But in this I really need you assistance. Pero kung ayaw mo talaga you can be a spectator."

"Can you give me time to think about this?"

"Kailangan mo talagang pag-isipan to. And I will always respect your decision."
