CHAPTER 27- INDICATION

N A E A

I woke up instantly and Densu's palm on my head. I sat down immediately and scares them, Ram spills his coffee. I'm dampening my chest, I can even hear the beat of my heart like it's about to explode.

As I calm myself, I look around and I'm still on the ship. I'm just dreaming. I thought the mission is done. I narrowed my eyes at Densu whose face were scowling and his upper lip raised

"What just happen? I saw it, tell me what was in that dream?! Tell me" I asked hurriedly and he just tilt his head and his expression were blank

"Huh what are you talking about?"-he just lost and scratch his head. Like he has no idea about what he said a minutes ago

"You gave me a vision"

".....uh?"

"Naea okay kalang? Binabangungot ka siguro" Singit Naman ni Aewa. Napailing nalang ako sa sagot niya at tinalikuran ako. Such weird one. Jamai the shy type. Komori the normal. Hanako the sleepy this one is lutang. "Naea okay kalang? You pass out lately and Ram carried you. Ito nagluto ako ng pagkain"

"Mamaya nalang"

I got up and refused to eat, I just lost my appetite. I went on a crows nest and where heading to La Neompa. I slide down and steered the wheel. I just had a mission about those two Deities. Like they're trying to talked to me telepathically but their presence are blurry. Nasa kamay sila ni Rina. I knock my head on a wheel. I sighed heavily with a mixture of frustrating and disappointment, so much expectation that I thought its all done!

"Naea is there anything bothers you?"-tanong ni Ram na dinalhan ako ng juice sa baso. Inabot ko muna ito tsaka na ako magsasalita.

"I saw on my dream that Spike has them.."

Ram just suddenly chuckles; thought maybe I was just joking and I just stared at him and made him stop "You serious?"

I nod. And my guts really tells me something and I listen. We heard a rustling sound from the trees, both ram and I watch underneath and made our boat rocking and gone on a different direction. Nasaktan ako ng masubsob ko ang dibdib ko sa kahoy ng biglang paghinto ng barko.

We heard a growl and weird murmuring and a clattering sounds and it's climbing fast. I immediately unsheathed my sword and jump on the edge of the both but I flip backward. II was lost in oblivion but my body move on its one and dodge those attacked.

Pareho kaming napaatras ni Ram ram sa mga taong may mahahaba nitong kuko. Hindi ko alam kung tao ba sila pero masasabi kong normal silang nilalang dahil sa mga suot nila. I rush to close the door secured the deities leaving us outside. Inikot ko and espada at bilis itong tinama sa matandang lalake at narinig ko ang boses niya sa ere na sumigaw sa sakit at dun ko napagtanto na talagang normal sila.

I climb up and saw ram fighting. "Ram they're villagers!"

"WHAT THE HECK?"-he push them and jump up and I reach his arms and haul him up to the yardarm. "So this is what cleo told us"

I was shock because they really knows how to climb. We heard the loud bangs on the door and heard them inside. "Naea what's going on?!"

"Its dangerous here!"-sigaw ko.

I can't go to the wheels because its loaded with bunch of villagers. Biglang tumagilid ang barko and gave a hand gestures to ram and he nodded

"Everybody hold on!"-sigaw ko at niyakap ang kahoy ng biglang pagpaliktad nito at nahulog sa mga puno ang mga tao.

Tinali namin ang mga iyon na walang malay at ginamot naman ni aewa ang mga nasugatan at nabalian sa taas ng kanilang kinabagsakan.

"Densu is afraid"-napalingon naman ako ng magsalita si densu at mahigpit ang hawak nito sa kamay ko. I sat down  at magkasingtaas na kame his terrified on something. His pale and gasping for air.

"Tell me ano ang nakita ko sa panaginip ko?"-i desperately ask him

"I had lost my memories. I use my powers to connect upon the protector of lucid dreams. I saw feiya's connection calling to you. She needs help"

Napatingin kaming pareho. So it wasnt just a mere dream its a vision all along. After a few minutes; the villagers was conscious and they are out of control they trying to to get away from the grip. Naawa ako sa kanila pero natatakot din akong palayain sila.

"This happens to my kingdom on valda. Isa itong sakit na lumaganap saming nayon"-said ela and show us her scars on her shoulders. " I almost died that day but still lets be gentle with them their normal people"

Aewa untie a boy and its trying to bit him. Ram help to put a handkerchief on its mouth and made it sat. Ela on the other hands searching the pulse and she just feel uneasy with it. Even Aewa is finding it difficult. Ela inserted the acupuncture needle and it just stop squirming.

"It works"-said she. "With this we wont be able to hurt them. But they can kill us"

May mga naririnig kaming kaluskos sa di kalayuan at naalerto kame para bumalik sa itaas. Napailing nalang kame na nakatanaw sa ibaba; napakaraming tao na nadamupuan din ng sakit na iyon. Ano bang nangyayari sa etheria.

We have arrive at the la neompa and couldnt believe our eyes. The smoke is thick and it covers the sky. There we see the countless people breaking the place to the ground.

"Anong nangyayari?"

"The time is running out naea"-said ram kaya napalingon ako sa kanya at nakita ko naman ang mga bata na umupo at naghahawakan ng mga kamay at pumikit. Ganyan rin ang nakita ko sa king panaginip ang sabayan nilang pagpikit. I'm squinting as they just lit up and I saw them open their eyes at lahat ito puti.

Tila namayani ang katahimikan. They have levitate at napapikit ako sa lakas ng hangin na nakuha kaming mapaatras.

I saw komori wave her hand counterclockwise at sumabay ang iba may lumitaw na isang imahen sa harap namin at nakita ko kung pano bumagsak ang buong kaharian at wala nang natira sa mundo kundi patayan. The darkness will soon spreading across Gaivera.

"Etheria is in danger, The Other kingdom will blame you, Thy search for my pieces. The connection is clear my pieces still entangled with me, search for them and unite us. Cause time running fast"-komori speak. Dahan dahan silang bumaba at naging normal at naginga listo ako at nasalo ko si komori. "W-what happen"-she said in a weak voice

"You have shown us something"-aniko.

"ACHOO! AA--ACHOO!"-Densu turn red and look sick all of a sudden. Pinahiran naman agad ni Ram ang tumulo nitong sipon.

Agad akong tumakbo pataas at inikot ang wheel. Alam ko kung saan sila mahahanap nakita ko nasa kamay sila ni spike. I dont want war I want allies dahil nasa panganib ang mundo namin.

"NAEA LOOK OUT!"-hinila ako ni ram na dala dala ang bata.

Nakita ko kung pano bumagsak ang barkong sinasakyan namin. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang nangyari pero wala rin samin ang nasugatan sa insidente. Naglalakad kame sa gubat ng rimara and we had no choice but to walk on foot.

Our boys secured us dahil dala dala namin ang mga bata. Nabigla nalang ako sa tunog ng isang bakal na nagpatunog sa blade ni ram at nakita ko ang pagtarak ng palaso sa puno na hinarang niya. Nagsilabasan ang mga taong hubo't hubad at lumabas si ela pero itinago ko siya sa kanila. "Naea stop. I know them"

Yumagayway si Ela sa mga iyon at tumigil sila. "Its me a friend of lady kamuma!"-

pagpapakilala ni ela sa mga ito at dali dali itong lumapit sa kanya at yumuko.

Dinala nila kame sa kanilang tribo at nabigla ako sa mga matambok nilang dibdib. Nakita ko kung pano nagdugo ang ilong ni ram na nakatinghala sa kalangitan. I saw a woman with a bone crown embraced ela, delighted for her arrival. May mga babae ring nag yaya samin kumain at hinandaan kami ng isang malaking manok na tinapa. Priyoridad ko ang mga bata at pinakain ko na sila habang ako kaharap ang babae.

"Pano sila nakapagkilala?"

"Actually nung nanyari satin nang magkahiwalay tayo. Natunton dito si Ela at nakipaglaban sa dating chief ng tribo. Si lady kamuma ang babae na tumulong sa kanya para makalayo dahil muntikan narin si Ela patayin"-pagpapaliwanag ni Aewa habang katabi ang mga babaeng nilalandi siya

They had an important meeting and its urgent. Nagpadala siya ng kanyang tauhan upang maprotektahan rin ang mga deity ngayo'y nasa panganib na ang buong mundo. Even her join us.
