CHAPTER 6- WISH GONE WRONG

Y U M I E

FOR NOW..were heading east to find the very first medicine. We still have no knowledge of what was written in the scroll. I'm one of em. According to fairy those clues are the medicines, not just one. I bet they're so many of them, maybe ten. But why clues?! Ang masama pa dun kung hindi sa iisang lugar ang mga gamot na hahanapin namin. Hays!

Ang bilis ng pangyayari since ajenta came back. Our mission starts again.

It's not that didn't want to embarked on a journey with them, but its been seven years since she's gone walang pang nangyaring ganito. Maybe its just a coincidence. It's so mysterious, the Queen was suddenly infected in an unknown illness. 𝑓𝑖𝑠ℎ𝑦

The Golden fluer or known as the heart of the Gold itself. Lies at the very bottom of the Cave. The forgotten empire, A city who fell to ruin. Now known as the legend of the lost kingdom of Ethier Vedalia.

A legends that says that millions of lives lost. Greed and power leads them to loose even some might have succeeded and brought the Gold to their nations and left the empire to ruin. But they failed to find the Golden fluer. It says that it can control over humanity.. This was the legend of the Lost king and the Cam Wethrin. This story was believe to be a cruel fate of his journey. This mystery remain unsolved. It is because the pages of the history book is missing. Even the book of Diamant was long gone for thousands of years.

Hindi raw madaling makuha ang unang sangkap. If ganito ito kahirap then what more pa kaya ang pangalawa. Goodluck nalang samin. But I hope we can find it on time hopefully we're not too late to be there on time.

Thanks to fairy she'll safely leads us there. But sadly we must walked there on foot. Because of the incident that pegasus looses it's ability to fly, even the wilwarin of Yano turn into cocooned again.

"Y--yumie may dala kabang tubig dyan?"-I woke up to reality and look back and saw ajenta catching her breath. Parang abot tuhod na dila nya. Tumagaktak lang ang pawis niya at pinahiran ko nalang tsaka inabot ang dala kong tubig.

"Ito oh"- She snatch it on my hands and drank it fast without even trying to stop and breath. Bigla syang napadilat sa hawak nyang paglalagyan ng tubig na mapansing naubos nya lahat

"Sorry ah, naubos ko lahat"

Ngumisi lang ako sa kanya sabay kurot ko ng kanyang pisnge"Okay lang may dala pa naman akong extra"

"Masukal ang daanan natin pasulong at maaari tayong mahulog sa mga bangin o mapahamak at nakalimutan ko ring dalhin ang lantern magpalakihan nalang tayo ng mata para makita ang daanan."leo said. I can't see his face anymore, ngipin nya lang nakita ko.

"𝐷𝑎𝑟𝑜 𝑎𝑛𝑖𝑑ℎ𝑖 𝑠𝑖" -said Mark at nag agree naman kame at umupo agad ako sabay buntong hininga at bagsak ng katawan ko sa bag. Huli ko nalang naalala nang masaktan nalang ako ng mabagsakan ko ang baso sa likuran ko. Napaaray at naluluha nalang ako sa katangahan ko. Hinimas himas ko lang para mawala yung sakit

"Paki translate please"-singit ni ajenta sa likuran ko na kinalingon ko naman sa kanya. Balak ko nang itranslate pero inunahan na ako ni Mark na hinahasa ang kanyang espada sa bato.

"I said stop, we shall rest here diba obvious?"

Ajenta was too stunned to speak. The tone of his voice was a bit harsh for her "Gee its not my fault if I can't understand your gibberish language duh bobo kaba remember di ako taga rito. Di ako elf! Gets mo di ako unggoy!"

I tried not to laughed swallowing back the humor inside me "Mark you can't blame her. Kahit naman ako di ko naintindihan ang kanta nya noon"-pagtatanggol ko kay ajenta. Oo yung night na pinatulog nya si baby Ian. I got nosebleed but her lullabies were soothing.

"Lucky for you unggoy i'm still learning korean words if I mastered it. Lagot kayong boys sakin tingnan natin kung sino manonosebleed"-Ajenta warn them with fierce. Kulang nalang pamalo

Ajenta stretch her legs and her back sabay bali nya ng katawan nya. Her body is so flexible "Ai salamat nakapagpahinga rin sawakas! Can we built a tent here I'm tired, bukas nalang tayo maglalakad..."

I heard Mark low growl; His gritting his teeth. Kulang nalang maging isa syang malaking unggoy "Nagpapatawa ata to e, di pa nga tayo nakakalayo sa palasyo, kitang kita pa dito ang palasyo oh tapos pagod kana?"-turo nya dun sa palasyo at natameme ako. His right di panga kami nakakalayo pero parang nirayuma na kame "Kung makareklamo ka parang malayo na ang narating nyo e di naman kayo nakakalahati"-dugyong nya. Hihi ang cute nyang magalit.

Yano had enough of such deafening argument and sat on a log. He's like sitting on his throne. Prinsepe nga talaga."Bakit bawal bang mapagod? Edi maglakad kang mag isa ikaw naman nagsabi na magpapahinga muna tayo dito. Ikaw pa mareklamo"

I heard mark scoff like his about to mocked him "I said rest not spending our night here. Indolent fool.."

"What?! Anong pinagsasabi mo say it to my face dork!"

"Fool!"

Fairy and I heave a deep sighed and both of us groaned...there they go again!. I need to pacify these idiots. Leo flinched and trying to avoid from those quarrelsome stupid and move somewhere so he won't be involved and trying to take a nap. Pero kung saan sya pumwesto andun naman ang dalawa. "Maghahanap nalang ako ng kahoy--"-agad syang umalis para di madamay.

Tinakpan ko na ang tenga ko pero ang tulis ng mga boses. "Ano ba mag aaway na naman kayo di kayo natatapos? Gosh Alam nyo ba dun sa mundo ko ano ang tamang hugot dyan? THE MORE YOU HATE THE MORE YOU LOVE ayeeiii "-sabay tili ni ajenta.

Mas umitim ang aura nung dalawa at nagkadirian kaya natawa nalang at sinakayan si ajenta sa trip niya "Actually bagay nga sila"

Both just turn green, lifelessly and about to barfed. Virile and Petulant as always, they never gets along..Ang cute nila lalo na pagmapikon at para di matuloy ang asaran nila maghahating gabi na pero mas maingay pa sila sa ingay na nagmumula sa inang kalikasan "𝑇𝑎𝑚𝑝𝑎 𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑦𝑎! Yumie!"-sabay nilang sigaw na nakadilat pa ang mata

[Stop that!]

"Okay, okay... whatever"-both of us chuckles and those two just turn red and about to attacked us. They left and gone to opposite direction. " Hey! where are they going?"

Nag walk out e. About a minute passed, leo arrived with a few log rested on his left beef shoulder and set a fire for the night. Ajenta pit some rocks beside the fire. I rubbed my arms slowly as the chill settled around me. I'm freezing, as the gust of wind kissed my skin. We surrounded the fire to get some hit. While fairy is resting on top on my head. I flinched as when there something touch my skin and its just a hare then for a moment i was surrounded with different species.

Ajenta snatch the baby squirrel and hugged it but its looks like she's trying to squeeze the poor thing. The squirrel keepnon screaming; trying to lose from her grip and the other animals hid behind me. As the squirrel escape her eyes narrowed at me grinning. It even scares me. I felt the animals were trembling.. But she jump on them and they rushed for their lives back to the woods and never came back.

I narrowed my eyes to ajenta, she's wasted "Ang panget ko naman para matakot sila ng ganon!"-mumbling under her breath and frown na parang minalas sa pag ibig.

"Animals here are not likely to mingle with us and mostly ayaw nila sa mga tao na bigla bigla lang silang paghahabulin at yayakapin. Ikaw ba naman hinahabol ng higante di kaba matatakot?"

"May ganon? Arte Naman shess"-she frown with a nostril flare "I wish my cat was here. Choosy ang mga hayop dito"

Few hours of waiting the two had arrived with foods in them. Mark brings a deer meat. While Yano carried the fruits in his robe. Yano is a life saver of ajenta alam na alam nya talaga na hindi kumakain ng karne ng usa ito bukod sa prutas at gulay. Di naman kase type nya yung karne dito nasusuka sya lalo na nung special broth rabbit. Di mapinta mukha niya

"Kasya ba ang pagkaing yan para bukas?"-diretsong tanong ni fairy na kumakain ng hiwang mansanas. Umiling naman si Mark. Si yano tiningnan ang dala nya at di rin sigurado na kakasya rin ba ito para bukas.

"Matatagalan kayo dun sa kweba pano kung magugutom kayo at wala man lang kayong dalang pagkain pwera lang sa damit wag nyong sabihin yan ang baon nyo bakit makain ba yan?"-fairy became a little bit pilosopo like ajenta, she even sounded like her.

"Fairy naman alangan din na maghuhubad kameng maglalakad kung pagkain lang ang laman ng bag namin"-Leo interjected

Mark and yano both groaned and shook their head at the same time "Common sense naman dya..."-pareho silang napahinto at nagharap. "Bat moko ginagaya?!"-pero sabay naman silang magsalita ulit.

Ajenta was just enjoying watching those two brat "Aww. Ang cute nyo promise. Sarap nyong batuhin sa mukha! Di pa kayo natatapos sa pag aaway parang mas babae pa kayo samin ni yumie e"-her mood suddenly change.

Ang labo din nya. My friends are all weird. Leo holds his laughter at nabawe naman nya ng umiba ang aura ng dalawa na nakatingin sa kanya. Ilang segundo naman lumipas ng magramble ang tatlo. Another useless warfreak! Ang mga lalake ang hilig sa gulo. Simple nonsense fight pero ginagawa nilang malaki. Ugh

Kumuha nalang ako ng kumot at nagsalo kame dalawa ni ajenta yung tatlo parang ayaw pang matulog mukhang ipagpapatuloy pa nila ang away nila mabuting pang matulog nalang mapupuyat lang ako kung pigilan ko yung tatlo.

"Come on! "-pagkarate move pa ni leo sa prinsepe at nilampasan lang sya nito. Ngayon kolang pansin na ang pandak pala nya.

Yano braids his smooth silky white hair and glance back to leo and the petals start dancing around him. Even the moon light was agreeing with him too. Ang ganda ng posture niya parang siya ang bida ng kwento "A prince should not abuse a low life creature"-pahabol nyang asar at naglagay ulit ng kahoy para di mamatay ang apoy.

"Magbabantay lang ako, matulog na kayo"-Mark. Buti naman nawala ang interest nilang gumagawa ng ingay sa kalagitnaan ng gabi. "Kailangan nyo ng lakas para bukas mahaba pa ang lalakbayin natin"

"Wag mo namang sabihin di ka matutulog?"- tanong ko. Paniki nga talaga sya.

"Parang di nyo ata ako kilala yumie"

"Just concern"

"Ah, may ilog ba dito na malapit satin gusto ko kaseng maligo e"-pagtatanong ni ajenta kay Mark at lumingon ito samin.

"Meron dyan malapit sa ikaanim na puno pasulong, bakit maliligo ka?"-Parang nahahalata kong nagbibiro lang si Mark. Pansin ko kasing napangiti ang mata nya. Maybe ajenta notice it, its obvious. Di naman sya ganong kaduwag para maniwala.

"Sira takot ako sa dilim, bukas pa ako maliligo. Sige good night and Mark as a friend kailangan mo rin namang magpahinga wag mo nang alalahanin ang paligid mo nandito naman tayo lahat wag kang nagpapapuyat di yan maganda"-her voice is calm and even Mark was confused.

Wow si ajenta ba yung nagsalita? I glance Mark and trying to act cool "I don't need your advise"

"De wow!"

Hay nako.. tong dalawang ito. Kinuha ko ang scroll at kinuha naman ni yano sa kamay ko.

"Gets some sleep its almost midnight"- aniya

"So di ka talaga matutulog?" tanong ko ulit

He wrinkled his lower lip and shook his head. Humiga nalang ako na nakatinghala sa kalagitan.

𝐻𝑎𝑛 𝑏𝑎𝑑 𝑙𝑖𝑛

I heard it again. Who is behind those voice? it annoys me but I simply ignored it and dust my bed and sleep..

A J E N T A

I heard the nature is awake, birds chirping on the trees. I quickly entangled myself from the sheets that were cocooned around me and everyone still sleeping. My brown eyes glanced upward and saw mark fell asleep too. Nakatulog din naman after nyang sinabi na magbabantay sya samin. Amazing boy nakaupo sya sa branch na nakacross arm at di sya nahulog balance na balance unggoy nga talaga sya hundred percent.

I walked tip toeing to avoid noises that might disturbed them. Lumakad na ako at hinanap ang MALAPIT na ilog na sinabi nya. Emphasizing the word 'malapit' yun pala kabaliktaran. I charted my course carefully and leave some people on my tracks.

HOURS LATER••

Lokong yun inisahan ako e ang layo ng nilakad ko parang sampung puno na ang danaan ko pero wala parin akong nakitang ilog. "MARK!! you lying son of a b...." Napasigh at sabay irap nalang ako with pamewang. Nakakabadtrip. Lumakad lang ulit ako at may nakita akong isang limestone sa gitna ng daan. Pinulot ko ito infairness ang smooth. Parang pearl sya "Mukhang nawala ang isang to. Dapat sa dagat ka diba bat ka napadpad sa gubat? "

Its has a perfect heart shape. Pinulot ko ito at parang nagspark pa. Inikot ko ang bato para suriin kung pano yun nagspark. Mukha naman sya ordinary.

"Ajenta mornin... wow! Ang swerte mo naman"-pagiging amaze ni fairy sakin ng batiin na ako at nakita ang nasa kamay ko.

Swerte saan? Malas nga ako e nauto ako ng unggoy nayun."Anong swerte e kanina pa akong naghahanap ng ilog wala naman akong nakita sinungaling talaga ni mr. Unggoy"

She laugh at me at parang inaasar pa ako. Sige take your time tawa lang dai. "Uto karin kase buti pa si yumie napansin niya agad si Mark"

Alam mo naman pala bat di mo sinabi!

"Malay ko ba hindi ko naman alam na laking sinungaling pala ng taong yun para utuin ako"-She sighed and flying circling, surveying the stone i was holding. So what now?

"Pero swerte mo rin dahil nagkataon lang na nagpapakita puting bato nayan nahanap mo ang sarili mong ilog... That rock was from Artiera. Kahit saan pwede magpakita ng batong yan at swerte ng makakita"-she added sabay turo sa pearl na hawak ko. Parang half kilo ang bigat niya. Ako daw nakahanap ng sarili kong ilog langya pano yun nakasya sa batong to. DAMN LOGIC! hahaha

"T--teka pakilinaw nga ano to magic ganern?"

"Oo"-bitin nyang sagot. Hinihintay ko pa kung may dugtong pa syang sasabihin kaso mute na sya.

Di pa nya ako tutulungan na pano ko gawin ang process para magpakita ang ilog. Maybe I should throw it on the ground? Or do that crazy mangkukulam thingy? Yung may paikot ikot ng kamay nito sa Orbuculum?

Insane!

"Fairy how should I do the trick?"-charoot. Try ko daw baka darna nga talaga ako. Di ko naman malunok kase malaki pa sa leeg ko e. Isinuntok kolang ang kamao ko sa ere sabay sigaw na darna like the last time na nakapikit. Parang nakaramdam ako ng malakas na enerhiya and slowly open my eyes and fairy looks so disappointed at me. Gagi tangahan mo pa self.

"Nung ginagawa mo?"

"Di ko nga alam e"

"Throw it and pwede karing mag wish kung gusto mo"

What the heck sa dami ng kalokohan kong naisip kanina. MAGWISH lang pala "Wish? What kind of wish?"

"Any wish but only once"-buti pa yung magic lamp tatlo. Ito isa lang. Hashtag DAMOT "pwede mo rin iwish na sana puputi ka or gaganda basta mga ganon ikaw na bahala."-she said. Ugh I don't think I needed to upgrade this face of mine. Okay lang maging pangit basta di maganda

Pano kaya kung macombine sina mark at yano Hihihi gwapo siguro ng combination. Handsome cold face of mark plus the cuteness of yano would be purr~fect. Parang sabaw na sakto ang taste walang labis waleng kuleng. Kain na mesherep yen hahaha. NaMM ako dun ah.

"Okay lets start. I wish na suswertihin kame sa paglalabay namin at malalayo kame sa kapahamakam"-wish ko at tinapon na ang bato na one meter away from me and as it landed on the ground the pond appeared. I was astonished.

WOW! Incredible!! Nakapalakpak nalang ako ng wala sa oras.

"Sige maliligo na ako, fairy bantayan mo ako ah"-tumango sya agad at nakapatong sya sa damit ko.

Lumuksong palaka agad ako sa tubig at di naman nakakatakot ang ilog ano pa ang mas nakakabreath taking ay buhangin ang naapakan ko at may mga pearl din. Di malamig ang tubig saktong sakto lang sa balat. Samahan pa sa magandang sikat ng araw. Medyo nagpatatagal tagal muna ako at nagpalutang lutang lang ako sa tubig na nakahiga at nakatingin sa langit

"AAAAHHHHH!!! Ewww" -dinig kong sigaw ni fairy at nakita kong tinakpan nya ang mga mata nya. And now i know na kung bakit. I FLOAT na walang saPLOWT.
