Chapter One Hundred Thirty-Two:
"Ganghang lanika om ab gotatai nga angrula yani?" I asked my brother as he keeps the toy that he gets from his ex-girlfriend.
"Until I get tired of it…" he simply answered.
"What was that? Is that a question?" he just laughed. "Manu, you know that thing… is kind of old." I said as I keep looking at it.
I don't know but the thing her ex gave to him was really old but still he really likes it because he feels like he's not alone whenever he holds onto it. Yet, the more I look at it, the more it became so creepy for me to see and look at it.
"Edelweiss, lama ngok dihin om togus is Bela rope, bisanasi ok yosa yosa ngal galata koa. In dihin ok an ang yasi sipiina ngan hilda yak Bela yaka, waghu ak ngan gam-lalaa ap." He calmly stated but still I don't like that joker, as if it carries a dark wave that will soon flood us all.
Present…
Unexpectedly the sudden earthquake and the only thing that happened next was the explosion of darkness that enveloped the whole town.
"What is going on?" I asked Redmond as soon as the commotion begins.
"Duke Haimon!" he runs at my side. "There's something going on at the outside."
"And what was it?"
"Darkness but a very different one," he answered.
"What!" I immediately went to the window only to see the darkest of darkness. I could not explain what I was witnessing and as I stared at it for a long time, I felt that darkness engulfed me. Yet before I am consumed with that darkness, suddenly someone pulled me out of the window.
"Duke Haimon!"
"Wh-what happened?"
"You were beginning to consume by those dark waves."
"Dark waves? What was that? And where it came from?"
"That, we're trying to figure it out." He answered. "The entire Witches and Warlocks even the half ones are trying their best to figure out what is going on, though." He seriously looks at me.
"What was it, tell me!"
"The power of the dark waves was too strong that suddenly take over the whole town and its worse, by the time it reached the place of the human place. A catastrophe will happen to those who are there. Death will be presented."
…
"Haimon!"
"Uncle Norward, what are you doing here?" I asked as I came closer to him.
"The events happening outside, we need to do something about it before the shield that put around the human place gets destroy."
"Yes, we're working on it." I spoke. "But the thing is what is going on? Where did the dark waves come from that suddenly ate the whole Edelweiss Clan and Manu Clan?"
"That--"
"I can explain." Suddenly the voice that I miss so much, I suddenly heard it.
"Siara?" I said as I turned around to see her standing at the front door. "What are you doing here?" I worriedly asked her as I approached her.
"Love!" she suddenly runs and hugs me so tight. Siara just hugs me in silence, a very warm and tight embrace and for a moment there, I feel like there is something wrong with her. I can sense it, but I can't ask her instead I hug her back with the same warm and tight embrace. Oh, I miss her so, so much I couldn't let her go anymore even if it means…
"No!" I said without noticing I speak it loud and I deliberately cut off our embrace. "What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you that you should--"
"Stop!" she cuts me off. "I know what is going on with you but that isn't important right now, because there is much more important than that. And," Siara turned to Norward. "Bela. He was the one who done this."
"Bela? What are you talking about? And who was that?" I surprisingly asked her.
"Uncle Norward," she speaks. "You need to enlighten him now, because we don't have much time left before the dark waves crash down the barrier that protects the human place."
…
After Norward told the hidden secret about the Maiden's Grail, I didn't immediately believe it especially when my wife is involved about the truth. The alter history. The truth about Bela or known as 'The Joker'… and lastly about the awakening of 'The Curse One'!
The one that will destroy everything once he finally awakes and now, what is happening outside is the beginning and none of the Witches or Warlocks can stop the dark waves from conquering the whole town. And Siara has a big part in it because she is the only one that can wake up 'The Curse One'.
"And I need to die." Suddenly Siara breaks my thought.
"No!" I said as I hold her shoulder. "What are you saying?!"
"Haimon, if I stay alive, it only means that he will also live freely. And I can't just let him take all that innocent life just to fulfill what he really wanted."
"No! I won't let you die, Siara!" I seriously exclaimed before turning to Norward. "Please, Uncle! Do something about it! Find another way to stop this catastrophe without my wife involving in it!"
"I'm sorry, Haimon. But we couldn't find anything to stop this catastrophe."
"What!"
"We can talk to the Elders and the Princess of the Cabot Tribe." Suddenly Siara suggested that made me look at her. "I know this might sound crazy but, Uncle Norward, I think I really need to summon them here right."
"Siara, what are you talking about? How could you say you need to summon them?"
"Because she really can," Norward answered while intently looking at her. "If you already remember your past then, we really need to talk to them now. Without any delay, we really need to inform them what is going on before death counts on."
…
"Siara, you know I'm still confused but…"
"Trust me, my Love. We can do nothing more."
