Chapter 31: So here's the mission

.....

Hakun's P.O.V

I was standing in front of the sink. I don't really know if I am to hurt myself here or not.

Then again, even if I hurt myself my father wouldn't change and still want My twin brother than me.

It's been 6 weeks that I haven't seen my the Peculiar's faces and I'm starting to think that they've left me here while they're out there trying to save the entire Emperia.

I am insulted.

Don't they need my ability? As far as I know, my abilities are way better than Chippy's shapeshifting.

I then open my the bandage in my right wrist.

The scar was huge, enough to keep worms or larvae from sucking in the bloody flesh.

But since I'm hygienic, I won't have to worry about being eaten alive.

I stepped back in the sink and tried to wash my face, and after that I quickly exited the bathroom.

When I stepped outside that bathroom, I was once again met with the same white room with dried blood on it's walls.

This is my room. There's no changing that.

I went over to the newly added bed with white sheets all over and them I sat there.

I only have a paintbrush and a bed in this room so there's isn't much communication from outside.

Also, Dad allowed me back to Highfalls and would want me there after Three Days so that he could spend 'Quality time' with me. Note the sarcasm.

I tried peacefully laying down in my bed when suddenly I heard a voice.

"Hakun? Please help us. We need you."

I shot up and scanned the room. That voice—it sounded like Phoebe's.

I didn't know what have gotten into me but all I know is that, I need to get there. The peculiars probably needs me.

......

I managed to sneak out in the mansion and I don't really know why, but I'm wearing a white aviator jacket and a hat while walking in one of the most crowded streets in Pendilor in 7:00 pm.

I should head to the Alastair mansion but thinking of Phoebe's desperation in her voice, they must be in serious trouble for calling out. Or was I just hallucinating?

Should I head back home? No.

I mean like I could now smell the fresh city air so who would wanna stay at that suffocating room I have.

They must be in other directions, or worse in another city.

Are they in Pynka? Darn it, I'm not Sherlock Holmes. I don't need to solve mysteries, I just need to contact them myself.

But too bad, My father took ahold of my phone so I don't have it in the moment. Darn it, I should've kept it somewhere far away from touch.

Should I go back? Ugh, this is to frustrating. I just need to travel back to Cambridge to—No. The dark wizards might probably still be there.

For a moment I thought about going to Ruslan but that's too far away so It lead me no choice than to go to Maybe Orioch? Because that's the closest in the city.

I made my way to Vendibeet Alley across the Bus and Caravan station, While sitting in the waiting chair waiting for the Caravan to arrive I felt a head dropped in my shoulder.

Without a second thought I looked whose head it was and upon seeing so, I saw a girl with her Animalia being a giraffe.

I scoot over and then quickly averted my gaze. And finally the Caravan arrived.

I took a step inside of the Caravan and made my seat in the most comfortable seat in the Caravan. I reached out in my pocket to pay the Caravan's Expense when I realized that The walled I stole from dad was gone.

What am I supposed to do?! I might end up being arrested! Just where in the world is the wallet? I panicked as a waiter comes to my direction. Oh, Emperia's name.

And then the waiter came in front of me.

"Would you like anything, Sir?" He asked.

I shooked my head and was about to break my gaze when he just smiled at me.

"No, sir. You must eat, the travel we will be having is about an hour so you might be ending up hungry and we don't want that." The waiter said as he handed me a menu.

"I'll wrote your order later, I'll go and see the other passengers, by the time I come back I expect you to order a 3 meal course, okay?" The waiter cleared.

I just nervously laughed.

"Yeah..." I replied. I mentally slapped myself.

The waiter just smile and then he walked away.

After he left, I rolled my eyes.

Holy Emperia, Just how May I earn money while sitting in the Van?

I then broke my attention to the menu and rotated my head and looked over the window on the Caravan.

Should I get off? Surely they wouldn't notice, right? I should've used my levitation but that's another bad idea that I don't want to happen.

I didn't turn my gaze but I knew somebody in front of me just sat down.

"Anong kailangan mo?" I asked, still not averting my gaze to the window.

"I think you left this." The female voice said.

I turned to see who it was, and that got me stunned.

"Moon?" I asked, unbelievably shocked.

"Anong ginagawa mo dito?"

She didn't say a word but she just smiled at me.

"I just came here to check on you."

"Bakit ako? Why not Chloe? I mean she's your daughter, right?" I asked confused.

"Yes but this is a war between my children, and I mustn't interfere or else, Emperia is doomed." She whispered.

I didn't say a word and she didn't either. We just sat there in silence.

"Why won't you deal with this yourself? Where are you all these times? What war of your children?"

She gave me a soft smile and looked at me straight to the eyes.

"I couldn't do this myself, cause If I do. There will be no light in the night of the earth. I am at the entrance of both Emperia and Earth, just so every night you will see the moon. And At the last one, it's for me to know and for you to find out."

I gave her a weird look but she just giggled.

"You are smart Hakun, you have alot that is destined for you. I chose to show myself to you because you have something that the others doesn't." She said. I just looked down on the floor and didn't make a sound.

"Anyways, here you left this." She then handed me my father's wallet.

"How? Where did you find this?" I asked while taking the wallet.

"To that bloody giraffe." She said while crossing her arms.

"Bloody what?" While trying to stuff the walled in my pocket.

"Nothing. But i'll tell you this." She gestured me to inch closer.

"When you arrive at Orioch and you see the other peculiars, immediately head to Station 42 and check in to Algge Hotel, room 371. And surely there's a walk in closet over there." She stated.

I pulled away and was about to ask her what she meant when she quickly stood up and gave me a light tap on the shoulder.

"Good day, Mr. Oizys." She then walked away.

I was about to chase after her when the waiter came back in.

"Your three course meal, Sir?" He then pulled his note to his hands.

Darn, I forgot about that.

"Couscous, and Soufflés is fine. I'd like it with coffee please." I ordered while my eyes fixed on wherever, Moon went.

"Would you like heavy coffee or light?"

"Light is fine."

The waiter nodded and stepped back. Even again, Moon's mere existence in the Caravan just vanished.

.....

As I got off the Caravan, I immediately went to Station 42.

There I saw them.

"Phoebe!" I yelled. The girl's eyes locked into mines.

She didn't move a muscle but all of a sudden I felt two arms wrapped around me.

I looked and saw Hushy and Alpha hugging me.

"Hakun—dear Hakun. You're here!" Alpha exclaimed.

Alpha just hugged me tightly. I smiled.

Then Hushy commented.

"Hakun, mabuti at nandito kana! Mabuti kapa na rick person, sobrang mapakumbaba! Ewan ko lang kung bakit iniwan ako sa kamay ng mga mapagmalaki na mayayabang na panget na Alpha!" Hushy cried and I don't really know of he is trying to break my bones.

"Huh? Anong sinabi mo?" Alpha's voice became dangerously low.

But then his voice soften when Chummy came and touched his arms.

Am I missing something in here?

I shooked my thoughts away and looked at Phoebe. I opened my arms and there she ran and hugged me.

"Oi, bakit ang tagal mong nawala." She asked.

I gave out a small smile and pulled away from the hug.

"Bakit pala?"

"Kapag wala ka kasi ay parang lahat ng ginagawa ko ay palpak. Lahat ng galaw ko ay parating hahantong sa gulo." She said. I just gave her a cheeky grin and gave her a light kiss in the forehead.

"Migod, Phoebe! Wag ka ngang pabebe! Mas bata pa kaya yan si Hakun kaysa sa'yo!" Chloe blurted. Napatawa naman ako.

"Hoy, Age doesn't matter kaya." Sulpot ni Hushy.

Bigla namang binatukan siya ni Alpha.

"No dirty thoughts, okay?" Pagbabanta ni Alpha kay Hushy.

"P-po?"

I mentally facepalm myself. Phoebe and I aren't really in a relationship, just friends. Without benefits,  kasi alam kong ngayong araw ay inaabuso na nila kung anong meron man sila.

And I don't want an abusive friendship.

Tinanggal ko lahat ng nasa utak ko at doon ko na-alala si Moon.

Bigla ko namang tinignan si Chloe.

Doon ko sinabi sa kanya ang lahat, yung oras na nakota ko ang Ina niya sa Caravan.

Chloe just pursed her lips and looked at the others.

"Hali na at pumunta na tayo sa loob ng Algge Hotel. Room 371 right?" She asked. I just gave her a nod.

"But, paano kung walk in closet lang talaga ang laman nun?" Chippy asked.

Doon ko rin naisip yon.

"That's impossible, why would she even lead us to a hotel with a specific number of room in the first place?" Bluvs said.

Yep. That's right, the smart boy has a point.

"Then let's check in." Emerald led the way.

...

"Here's your room card." The hotelier said as she handed Emerald the card.

"Enjoy your stay." She said.

Bluve just gave her a light nod and smiled at her. The Hotelier's cheeks flushed as she gaze away.

"Tch. Akala ko si Alpha lang ang mahangin dito." Hushy whispered.

Napatawa naman ako as we proceeded at the elevator.

...

Bumungad sa akin ang isang modern na kuwarto, it looks like a condominium but much better.

I headed into the living room and saw the bunch gathered together.

"Are y'all ready?" Hushy asked.

They all nodded in sync as Emerald opened the door. We head in.

We stepped inside and walked into the darkness, the path is never ending.

My body feels so light and it feels like I am under the ocean. I feel like I am floating and every move and step I make would impact my whole being.

And suddenly a light flushed and I found myself walking in out in another closet.

"Welcome! It's been thousands of years since I had customers!" I heard a old lady's voice.

Then I saw her looking at us, especially Chloe.

"You with the brown hair." She said while pointing at her.

"You have a tragic fate—no In fact you all are!" She then looked at all at us. Then she looked at Me.

"And you will carry on the scars that you've all made, forever."

We all stood in silence, The old lady's Animalia is some kind of bird. And you all know, wolves doesn't trust bird. But Don't get   Me wrong, I trust Phoebe alot.

"Ah! Oo nga pala, hindi ko pa nga pala napapakilala ang sarili ko." She said as she giggled.

"I am Willow, a sorceress. I cast spells upon Emperia and I crown the next kings and queens to come. What brings you here today?"  She asked as her gaze fixed upon Alpha.

"The Prince, I see." And her eyes quickly turned to Phoebe.

"And the Princess."

"No. You must be mistaken, I am no Princess." Phoebe smiled shyly.

"Am I?" Willow asked. Then turned away.

"You all come for the prophecy?" She asked.

"No. It's just that we are here because, We don't really know what to do. It's pretty hard leaving teenagers save the world." Chloe muttered.

"Ah, So I see you've came to seek my wise advice."  She said.

"Arcane!" She yelled.

Arcane? Like the Bird?

A figure came rushing over Willow's aid. Yep, It's the bird.

When his eyes fixed upon us he stood still.

"Get me some Wandelust and some Apcode, will you?" She asked.

Arcane quickly looked away and ran as fast as he could gathering those things.

"Sorry about my great great great grandson, he's a bit shy." She said as she reached over one of the bags in her shelves.

"Here." She said as she handed Bluve the bag.

"What Am I going to do with this?" He asked.

"There's some things you'll need later on in there." She said.

Then Arcane came down rushing with a light blue liquid in a glass and a purple one on the other.

"Here." She said as she handed Chummy The Blue one and Handed Leo the Purple one.

"Para sa asan to?" Phoebe asked.

"The blue one is called Wandelust. It's going to save a life in the verge of dying. The purple is the Apcode and it will the person who drink this see the future." She said as she looked at the two potions.

"So if it lets you see the future, someone must drink it! We must find who the mastermind is!" Chummy said.

"Leo, Drink it." She said as she turned to Leo.

"I uh—" but before he could say anything he dropped the potion and its glasses are into pieces.

"Leo! Bakit mo natapon?!" Emerald shouted.

I quickly helped Leo gather the broken shards of glass.

"It was an accident! I swear!" He sounded so afraid.

"Emerald, Kalma. Natapon lang niya." Alpha soothed Emerald and Emerald eventually became calm.

Emerald turned to the old Woman and the old woman.

"Can we gave another?" Emerald asked.

Willow, on the otherhand stood frozen. Then she turned to look at him.

"No. It's the last of it's kind." She said as she looked at him.

The whole bunch didn't say a thing but then the door opened and some sort of Goblin creature walked in.

"Oh! Anyways Arcane dear. I don't need you here na!" She said happily.

"Huh?" Arcane's eyes bolted.

"This is Mesch. My new Assistant so I don't need you working here in Saturday's. Instead I'll be giving you an assignment." She said as she sweetly looked at all of us.

"You would go with them throughout their mission." She said.

"But Grandmother! They're commoners! Pathetic little Animalias! Unlike us we are much more superb." Arcane said avoiding Chummy's Gaze.

"Now, Now. Child, They are much superior than us. We practice magic but in their case, These children have magic." She said as she pointed at us.

Arcane just looked grumpily at us and clicked his tongue.

"Fine."

"Then you all will be leaving now!" And the next thing we knew is that we are standing in the middle of a forest.

Wait, what the heck happened a few minutes ago again?
