CHAPTER 10- KOMORI III

E L A R I E N ••P●V••

At Sorcerer Cleo's apartment, Bilis niyang nilamon ang jaffa cakes at sinabay sa joffre cake at strawberry roles. She's so famished. Inagaw niya rin ang pagkain ng kasamahan ko. Nagtinginan lang kame sa kanya na lamon lang ng lamon "ito-- ang phenominal being?" She looks like  a normal child. But whose the woman in the portrait I seen back there? They both have white hair and ruby eyes. Wait, Did she shrunk? She's cute in this little body.

Aktong kakainin ko na ang tinapay ko at hininge naman niya sakin. Ito lang yung umagahan ko pero kaya ko naman kesa sa kanya. It wasn't enough to fill her satisfaction and want more.

 "Are you sure this is her?" everyone leaves to wonder and looking at komori since we arrived.

"She told me that she's Komori, Di naman siya mukhang sinungaling"-sabi ko. But still keep me wondering, if she was the one we've been searching for. As she stepped out of her doorstep her house is collapsing but we manage to go home thanks to the help of lady Cleo.

"I didn't expect that she is a just mere child. I thought she's you know what I mean. A goddess like.. Phenominal bodies but.."-Cleo has the same thought as i was "I think something is wrong with her. Her phenominal body was slowly fading. This is bad"

"Butterfly!!"-sigaw ni komori at hinabol ang paro paro, komori can easily distracted, such free spirit Deity "Catch, catch. Come here..."

Cleo glides her fingers to the books on the shelves until she picked one and blow the dust away that covers the title. I saw a vines that seems to be its locked. It surrounded the book covers. She somehow murmuring in her breath like she's casting a spell on it. And the vines crawl away and disappeared. Inilagay niya ang libro sa harap namin. And she wave her hands and the door shuts by its own to keep komori inside. We can't loose any sights of her. Cleo open the pages and stop at chapter seven. I saw an image of a woman and she called Komori.

"Who is this?"-she asked with a soothing voice, Komori smile and her eyes sparkles

"Feiya!"-masayang sigaw ni komori na nakaturo dito. "FEIFEI! feifei" she shouted in excited with a little hop while rasing both of her hand in the air

"You still remember them aren't yah?"-Cleo asked again, komori thought about something and look anywhere to think. Until she gave us a blank expression  and she told us that she knew feiya as her friends thats all and nothing else.

"Somehow its looks like she lost her memories"-said Nyne

"D'you think other deities forgot their memories too?"-tanong naman ni spike

"Pero siguro kilala naman nila ang kapwa nilang deities diba" tugon ko naman

"According to the articles.. Listen carefully, you must bring back the world of dreams or its too late for Gaiverian. Of course we will be affected. Haeannon, revona, Zetara, Glaceal and even your place.  Five deities a maker and a protector of the five elements of dreams. And all of them have there roles-responsibilities to every living things Aside from that. Komori is the holder of dreamcatcher. The one who started the world of dreams as she began web weaving.."-Cleo pointed out and gave komori a yarn and she giggled. She just knitted a spider web at agad na pinakita samin. I pat her at natuwa siya she so proud of what she was doing.

"What do you mean?"

Cleo close the book and sighed deeply.  "Lady Jidere a moment!"-tawag niya at may nagpakitang tao sa likuran niya and made Nyne withdraw his sword at her.

Natawa lang sina Cleo kay Nyne sa pagiging alisto nito at muntikang matamaan sa leeg ang babae. She touch the blade and it crumpled like a paper.

"Nasty"-malaseductive niyang pananalita at napalunok lang si Nyne ng wala sa oras

"Jidere your scaring them"-saway ni Cleo sa mahinahong pananalita and Jidere smirk and the blade was back on its actual look. Nyne put it back to the and go back to his respected seat to listen

"Is there a problem cleo?"

"Kinda. Komori come here" tawag niya sa bata at lumapit naman ito at nandun nakadapo ang paro paro sa kanyang ilong at napahatsing siya ng lumipad ito paalis "Jidere what do you think?"

Jidere look so surprised and approached little Komori and take her on her hand and put her on her lap. She adores her and keep smooching komori puffy cheek and hugged her like a baby. Komori still unbothered--knitting until the yarn was all done and she take a nap after that "Protect this child at all cost. She's our Deity. She's in grave danger, she'll losses all of her memories, abilities until she'll faded and never exist. And Gaivera will be in danger. And not just it-- Be aware theres a bystander, spies too. Waiting to take the opportunity to take her for granted. Pero just pin this, keep it in mind. Find the five deities who has scattered on your land. Jamai, Hanako, Densu, Antholene and Feiya this five deities are missing. Find them or all of you will turn to these"-turo niya sa mga sculpture na tao na may mahahabang pangil. "You'll be under the control of bad spirit. Nixx"

"I will give you a map. Kung saan napadpad ang limang ito"-inabot niya ang isang mapa kay ram at tiningnan nilang lahat. Dahan dahan kong binawe si komori na humahagok at yumakap lang ito sakin na natutulog.

"Do we have any more time" aewa asked anxiously

"As a matter of fact, your running out of time and be better hurry, komori is the only way who can senses her fellow Deities. This map will just lead you to them but can't tell you the exact spot or who was these Deities are.."

"So what are we waiting for lets go!"-pagmamadali ni spike at dinala na ang mga gamit. Agad din kaming nagpasalamat. Lumabas na kame at nabibigatan ako sa pagbaba ng hagdan na dala dala si komori. Himbing parin ang tulog nito at hawak parin ang kanyang tinahi. Inabot kolang ito at binigay kay Spike tsaka naman niya nilagay sa bag ko.

"Its a long way back home, your penniless"-habol na wika ni cleo sa itaas at naghalungkat naman ng bulsa ang aking kasamahan. Nyne shook his head si Spike meron pero gagamitin namin iyon para makabili ng pagkain.

"Marko buhay kapa? Long time no see!"

"Yeah. Still young I see, huh cleo. Mao have told me about the grand celebration going in mermadia.." he didn't continued as he draw his attention on us. I'm just amazed by such beautiful man, such perfect face ratio. Heterochromia iris.. He looked so gentle yet I felt such intense power surrounding him.

"Oh, sorry neighboring kingdom? Well then 𝑁𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑛𝑎 𝑔𝑜𝑣𝑎𝑛𝑛𝑜𝑛-𝑐𝑖𝑛 𝑚𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑜𝑛. 𝐼𝑚 marko luin etherial 𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑛 "

We just drooled, I fell in love with him the second he spoke to us "Marko don't use our mother tongue to our friends. They won't understand us"

"Oh my apologize.. I just thought. I said nice to meet you"

Napatulala kaming lahat sa lalakeng tumambad samin. Tao pa ba to? Grabe wala akong masabi. He looks like a noble Elf and a warrior elf at the same time. Wearing a rare and expensive type of silk. Lotus silk.

"N--nice to meet you din" sabay naming lahat

Nilingon ko naman ang iba pati yung mga lalake namin titig na titig sa kanya. Nakalimutan nilang lalake rin sila pero grabe sila makatitig "Marko kindly borrow your wilwarin?"-said cleo at tumango lang si marko. Lumapit siya sakin na nakakunot ang noo at muntikan akong matumba dahil sa tangkad niyang nakadungaw lang sakin. Tiningnan niya si komori at ang kaninang maamo niyang mukha faded into curiousity.

"Cleo, I think--"

"I know right, napansin ko rin magkamukha sila"

"Magkamukha?"-maiksi kong tanong. Di niya sinagot ang tanong ko basta nalang siya ngumisi at banayad nitong hinawakan ang mukha ni komori. Bigla nalang nakita ko ang masaya niyang ngiti na pati ako muntikan ko pang ikabagsak sa kinatatayuan ko. Ramdam ko ang init sa mukha ko ng tumambad sakin ang isang pambihirang lalake. Ramdam ko Ang init na dumaloy sa ilong ko at inabutan niya ako ng panyo at bilis kong pinahiran.

"Be careful on your journey"

I just mixed feeling and my face is burning. Help God!! I couldn't even uttered a word. I know I look silly by now.

"ELARIEN come on!" our reunion shattered like a broken glass. And I woke up to reality. Tinatawag na ako ng mga kasamahan ko at natulala lang ako sa pagsakay namin sa dambuhalang paro paro. Pumagaspagas na ito at nasa ere na kami. Yumagayway lang sila sa baba pati narin kame.

Sinampal sampal ko Ang Mukha ko parang halos mahimatay Ako sa titig niya.

"You okay?" tanong ni Aewa at tumango ako

"Yeah"

I raise my hands above my head, feeling the cool air hit my face and I breathe in gratefully. Aewa gave me an apple and they were made sweet with a bitter twist. It's beautiful to be up here. Gising ko narin si komori at yakap yakap ko siya na nakaturo sa malayong nayon at mga ibon na nalalagpasan namin. I kiss her head and she kiss me back on my cheeks. "Love you mama"

"Love you too baby komori"

The time was fast and its almost dark. Mabuting may dala silang pagkain at nagpulutan lang kami ni komori sabay sawsaw sa vinegar na kyutan ako sa paggigil at tirik ng mata niya ng matikman niya ang asim. Di ko maiwasang kurot kurotin ang kanyang pisnge sa sobrang kakyutan niya.

➖➖➖

NEXT DAY.. We have arrived at the shore of Etheria and the butterfly flown away back to haeannon. Pinapasa pasa nila ang mapa at napunta naman ito kay aewa. She grin and doing again that twitching smirk with her body.

Binaba ko si Komori at naglaro ito at nanguha ng alimango sa buhangin. Lumapit ako kay Aewa para tingnan ang mapa na iniabot nina lady Cleo samin. "They have been scrattered everywhere"-sabay kamot ni Aewa sa noo niya. "

Lahat sila nasa north at east ng etheria. Its a good thing though kase kapag nagkalat sila sa buong Etheria mamatay tayo sa kakahanap"

"AAAAAAHHHH!!!!"

Nataranta kame sa sigaw ni komori at ewan ko kung maawa ako o matawa ng maipit ng alimango ang daliri niya.
