Elegant dresses, the sound of clasping footwear, and the enchanting music filled every corner of the ballroom. Every people dancing moved with grace and harmony I almost envy them.
Nanatili akong nakatayo sa tabi ng isang mataas na haligi habang pinagmamasdan ang mga taong nagsisiyahan sa bulwagan.
Clean royal colors of blue and white filled the entire room. The bright light from the chandelier streaked all over. Cascading curtains fall down from its high raised windows. Even the suits and ballgowns of the people here are in theme. Mabuti na lamang at nakasuot rin ako ngayon ng isang presentableng kasuotan. It was an elven type of suit but it was formal so I can present myself in all of the nobility here. I don't kno
LOL, I think this would've been great if I wrote this on Maxima's point of view. But IDGAF, let's focus on Aragorn more. :))
"King Gavan has been drugged.." natigilan ako sa sinabi ni Iston. It wasn't a very nice thing to hear, especially when you have just been rejected.Tumaas ang kilay ko. Sino naman ang hangal na may kayang gumawa non sa aking amang hari? Hindi ko sila mapagbibigyan.Kumuyom ang mga kamao ko sa galit na aking nararamdaman. Hindi ko matanggap na naganon nila si ama. Paano nila iyon ginawa? Paano sila nakapasok sa aming village? Are they waging war against us?"What is Tyrion's say to this? Kilala na ba ang may salarin?" Umiling ito dahilan para mas lalo akong magmadali.
"From now on, you are forbidden to set foot on Zarhuy." tila paulit-ulit bumubulong sa isipan ko ang mga sinabi niya.With the realization that Tyrion is using his authority on me. Hindi ko matanggap.. bakit.. kaya ba talaga niyang gawin ito sa akin? Sa sarili niyang kapatid?Ganon ba talaga kalaki ang kasalanan ko upang humantong sa ganito ang kanyang parusa?I looked at him with confusion. Samantalang nanatiling matigas pa rin ang kanyang ekpresyon. His words are absolute, no one can dare to oppose it, not even me. Only our father can, but he's not here, kailangan ko siyang makita."Fine." kahit labag sa kalooban ko'y sumangayon na lang ako sa kanyang kagustuhan. Wala akong laban sa kanyang otoridad kaya mas mabuting sumunod na lamang ako sa kung anong gusto niya."But
Shocked by my father's current state, I immediately rushed towards him and my mother; pain-stricken by the gruesome situation my family is currently facing. "Ama..." sambit ko sa isang nagsusumamong tono na tila nagmamakaawa. Ngunit hindi ito sumagot. "Ama, andito na ako. Kausapin nyo ho ako, pakiusap." pilit kong inaayos ang estado ng sarili ko habang pilit na tinitignan nang diretso ang mata ni ama. "Arathorn..." tanging sambit ni ina, na siyang lubos na naapektuhan sa nangyari sa kanyang asawa. She was devastated the moment she knew something had happened terribly to his beloved husband. At ang kaisipang wala siyang kahit anumag magagawa sa kalagayan nito ay mas nakakapag pasakit pa nang kaniyang damdamin. Iniisip niya na wala man lang siyang magagawa para iligtas o malunasan man lamang ang kaniyang asawa kaya't ang hagkan at manatili sa tabi nito ang syang tangi niy
"Itigil mo na ito Tyrion!" pagsusumamo ni ina na ngayon ay hagkan na si ama. "Pakinggan ang iyong ina! Hindi mo ba ginagalang ang desisyon ko?!"For a moment he did not speak until he faced her with an unexplainable expression on his face. "I respect you mother... with all my heart." he solemnly said. "But as a king in charge, I cannot make such subjective decisions... you need to trust me."I could hear the sadness in his voice, ngunit mas pinili niyang hindi iyon ipakita."I trust you, Tyrion. Just... just stop this. Mayroon pang ibang paraan!" ang sinabi iyon ni ina ay tila hindi tugma sa kung anumang layunin na nasa isip ni Tyrion ngayon.Panay ang pagiling nang ulo nito at bumubulong, "Hindi, hindi..." he ran his hand through his face and made a frustrated look. "It's clear that you don't trust me, mother... I can tell if you are lying. B-bakit lagi mong pinapaburan si Aragorn?"
Sa kung anong kadahilanan, nagawa ni Tyrion tukuyin kung nasaan ang babae. nanlaki ang mata ni Vanora sa nakikita, kahit na iginiya na siya ng mga kawal palayo ay nagawa pa rin niyang makatakas sa mga ito para lamang alamin kung ano ang mangyayari pa sa dalawa niyang kapatid. Hindi niya akalain na ganito kalakas ang kakaiba ang kapangyarihan ng kanyang kapatid. Ang huling beses niyang makita ang pagpapamaalas nito ng kapangyarihan ay hindi pa ganito ang lebel ng kaniyang lakas. She would not want her only two brothers to be dead just for some petty throne and a simple mistake. She was always the objective one when it comes to her siblings but this time it’s different, everything is in imminent danger at kung wala siyang gagawin baka lalong masira pa ang kanilang pamilya at kaharian. And that's the last thing she wanted to happen.Napatawa ng pagak si Tyrion na tila nanghahamon. "Hmph, akala mo ba makakatakas ka sa akin ng buhay?"Nguni
No matter how hard he resisted, he just could not for some reason. Tyrion's face clearly conveyed confusion and anger at the same time, thinking how unfathomable and impossible it was for this situation to happen. Paano nangyari ito?Kneeling in front of his brother is embarrassing for a standing king of Zarhuy. Lalo na at nakababatang kapatid niya itong linuluhuran niya ngayon, what a shame. Ang pangyayaring ito ay tila bangungot para sa kanya. Naisip niyang mas mabuting matalo pa iya sa laban kaysa sa ganitong pawang sinasamba na niya ang kalaban.This can't be... Bakit hindi ako makawala?!Much to his dismay, his mind keeps conflicting, to why does he cannot do something in this shameful situation.Nagugulumihanan naman si Ela'an sa mga nangyayari. Pakiramdam niya ang kakaibang pagbabago sa pananalita ng Aragorn na kilala niya. Yes, there is still the arrogance but this arrogance has much more imp
She entered her trance state and immediately submerged into the depths of her power, despite the sword in her face, she teleported and stood at the sword's point displaying great balance. Tyrion quickly swung his sword but Ela'an quickly jumped dodging his attack and instantly landed on the point of the sword again.At nang makakita nang pagkakataon, kaagad siyang tumungo at inilapat ang kamay sa malapad na parte ng espada saka inilagay ang lahat ng kanyang bigat roon habang itinaas ang katawan, doing a handstand. Once in an upside down position, she arched her body for her hips to encircle Tyrion's neck, choking him. Mahigpit na pinulupot ni Ela'an ang kanyang binti sa leeg ni Tyrion, ngunit alam niyang hindi lang basta-basta niya matatalo ito sa ganoon lamang. Dahil na rin dito, hindi na napigilan ni Tyrion at nabitawan niya ang kaniyang espada at pilit tinanggal ang nakapulupot na paa sa kanyang leeg na pumipigil sa kanyang paghinga.The
Naguguluhang tnignan ni Maxima si Ela'an, nagtataka kung bakit siya kilala nito gayong hindi pa naman niya ito nakikita sa kanyang talambuhay. Galing siya sa isang misyon at saglit lamang siyang napadaan dito para sana magliwaliw at magpalamig mataops ang kaniyang matinding misyon. At ang lawang ito ay isa sa mga lawang pinupuntahan nila ni Aragorn dati, gusto lamang niya sanang tingnan ang payapa nitong kapaligiran ngunit pagdating niya ay ito ang kanyang nadatnan. Ela'an's face was displaying a wide smile, her eyes gleam with excitement, thankful because someone in the outside world can finally help them at ang masuwerte pa roon ay kilala niya ito. Binitawan niya ang mga dalang m,ga gamit at akmang tatakbo papunta kay Maxima ngunit nakita niya ang pagbaling nito sa nakalupasay na Aragorn di kalayuan sa tabi nito. Kaagad siya natigilan at awkward na napangiti, "H-hindi! Iba ang iniisip mo! Hehe." pagtanggol ni Ela'an sa sitwasyon. "Alam
Aragorn:"Hey," I called as an angel tilts her head just to look at me with a questioning stare.Nakataas ang kilay nito at tila tinatarayan ako, "What?" maarte nitong bigkas.Napatawa na lamang ako sa inasta niya at siya naman ay inarapan lamang ako.A moment of silence was upon us, but it was just a perfect time to just look at her and quietly admire her beauty.Amidst the array of flowers there she goes, solemnly appreciating the peacefulness around her. Mas pinapaganda lamang ng mga bulaklak ang kanyang alindog na siya namang pumipilit sa aking mahulog nag paulit-ulit.I plucked a flower and made sure that I picked the most beautiful one in all of the flowers here.Muli kong tinawag ang kanyang pansin. Hindi ko mapigilang ngumiti. Ngunit tiniis ko ang sarili kong sunggaban siya at paulanan ng halik.She then again
Aragorn was left astounded when he heard what Yvanne said. Hindi siya makapaniwala sa sinabi nito na may koneksyon si Maxima sa demonyong minamanmanan niya.He was still at the bar drinking but in an awful state. Parang nagpakalunod na siya sa alak dahil sa hindi niya nagustuhan amg balitang narinig kay Yvanne.Yvanne told him the details, bit by bit not even a single detail missed. So he was at the point of being convinced. But he cannot be fully persuaded by just some information that his friend says.Kung gusto niyang maniwala at malaman ang katotohanan, mas gugustuhin niyang malaman iyon mula kay Maxima mismo. Kahit na kung sa ganoong paraang ay mas triple pa ang sakit na nararamdaman niya kung totoo nga. That Maxima colluded with the devil himself, the very demon that ordered the Chancellor who in light of retribution caused his father to be damned without a known cure.It was the demon's fault
Nagulat silang lahat sa sinabi ni Aragorn. Akala nila ay magiging maayos na ito dahil sa pagkalma nito ngunit hindi nila inaasahan na ito ang kaniyang sasabihin. They all know that Aragorn has a lot on his plate but neglecting his responsibilities is just not like him. He was not the kind that would neglect his tasks by just some series of shocking events."Aragorn... Please reconsider... Kailangan ka ng Traia." paalala ni Ela'an ngunit nanatili ang marahang ekspresyon sa mukha ng prinsipe.He had made up his mind."Not to mention, you are the rightful ruler of Zarhuy, not your arrogant older brother." dagdag pa nito ngunit imbes na maglagay pa ng gatong sa malapit nang magbagang apoy, tinapik ni Eredar and balikat nito at nagsalita."Hayaan nyo siya." tipid nitong banggit kaya naman pati si Aragorn ay nag angat ng tingin sa kaniya."He had enough, he gave his best and he is tire
Aragorn woke up feeling light headed and uneasy, his body was bare and topless and the breeze of the wind that came from the window gave him chills. Para siyang napapasuka ngunit tila walang mailalabas. Nasa silid na siya ng plasyo ng Traia kung saan siya namamalagi ngunit wala siyang matandaan kung bakit at papaano siya pumunta roon.The direct touch of sunlight on his face and eyes coming from the open window beside him caused him to get up and out of his bed. Napaupo sa sa gilid ng kama at bahagyang natulala, napasapo siya sa kanyang ulo at pinapakiramdaman ang dumadagundong na sakit ng kaniyang ulo, para itong tumitibok at pinupukpok ng martilyo.Pilit niyang inaalala kung ano ba ang mga nangyari bago pa man siya makapunta sa loob ng kwartong ito. Ang tanging naalala lamang niya ay ang madugong labanan sa gitna ng digmaan hanggang sa malaman na ang rebelasyon na..."Garfiel!" he exclaimed then immediately ran to the
When Parrish thought that it was the end for him, a beam of light shone upon them and its warm caress secluded him from Aragorn's attack as if purposely protecting him.The warm light gradually faded and it revealed a maiden with pure white two pairs of wings. Her wings flapped as she descended, causing dust and rubble to blow with the generated wind, making everyone near her cover their faces and close their eyes, obscuring their view.Aragorn for one did not even pay attention to the arrival of the familiar celestial that has landed near him for who knows what reason. He just stood there patiently as he waits for the celestial's introduction, he cannot fathom how Parrish successfully dodged almost all of his attacks and he was revered as a powerhouse when using a sword. Even semi-unconscious and not partially on his rightful mind, his pride could not accept that fact, thus he wanted more.But the celestial's interferen
Hindi niya alam kung ano ang gagawin sa sitwasyon na iyon. Ngayon lamang siya nakakita ng isang elfo na ang mata ay naglalabas ng isang kakaibang liwanag. Kakaiba sa pakiramdam, ang tila masaya pa niyang tagumpay ay napalitan nang pangamba dahil sa kung ano man ang inilalabas ng prinsipe na kapangyarihan. Hindi niya maintindihan, ngunit alam niya sa isip niya na mukhang magiging mapanganib na ang takbo ng lahat. Base pa lamang sa hindi pagsasalita ni Aragorn at dahan-dahan na lamang nagkaganito ay tiyak na siyang nainsulto niya ito sa anumang paraan na ginawa niya. Ang hindi lamang niya natansiya ay kung paano ito magrereact sa kanyang insulto. Napahakbang siya patalikod, dahilan para umatras din ang isa niyang kasama sa likuran. "Commander Parrish... ayos lang po ba kayo?" The soldier asked the silent Parrish, frightened with mere awe and intimidation that Aragorn's presence imposes. Nanlalaki ang mga mata n
"Garfiel!" Iston shouted with panic, shock was all written all over his face for his friend had fallen from the enemy's blade. He was struggling because he was caught by Parrish, his blade not meters away from his face and he is afraid that he may also fall prey to it just like Garfiel. He cannot break loose from Parrish's captive hand and the latter was just already starting to get annoyed.Kaya naman hindi na nagdalawang isip pa si Parrish at agad diniinan ang pressure point ni Iston sa batok, dahilan kung bakit bigla na lamang itong nawalan ng malay. Hindi niya inaasahan ang nangyari, na matamaan niya si Garfiel, ngunit wala naman itong importansya sa kanya. His only objective is to win the war and both him and Aragorn share this mindset at parehas nilang gagawin ang lahat sa abot nang kanilang makakaya. But Parrish's idea of that is slightly different, Aragorn will do anything just to win but by following certain guidelines and principles but Parrish has no
Aragorn disregarded Parrish's escape in his grasp. He is not of utmost importance, the main objective here is to win the war and put an end to this nonsense war. He is just baffled as to why Parrish's approach to changing the ruler is this kind of way. This is unlikely of an Azsarian to resort to such methods, this is clearly too much bloodshed and violence, and most Azsaraians do not act this way.They solve disputes like that in a more formal way since they highly put hierarchy in high regard and social standing is a must here so maybe he understands just a little of where is Parrish coming from. It is utterly hard to be involved in politics if you lack power or connections. You must have the ability to lead people and at the same time maintain your image to them so as to not lose their trust. Azsarian politics is not a joke and Azsarians risks everything just to put themselves in a higher position, their competence in every aspect is nighly unbeatable compare
Their swords clashed fervently as soon as they locked eyes on each other. It was but a stalemate for both their weapons conflict with every swing they initiate. Powerful thrust of Parrish's polearm threatened Aragorn as it went back in forth his face. He just kept up with the swift attack of Parrish that he could not even have a turn to land a blow. He had nowhere to go and he can't think of any move that could stop Parrish's continuous attacks. Soon, he will crash to the fighting warriors at the back of him, so he needed to immediately think to get out of that situation.He just then let himself walk backwards where the concentration of the enemies fighting is at its peak. They were too occupied that they did not know that their leader, Parrish, was also in the battlefield. At nang malapit na siya sa mga naglalabang mga kalalakihan, nakita na niya ang tamang opurtunidad para gawin ang kanyang plano.With nimble feet, he jumped and did
