"So, let's eat!" Niara joyfully shouted. We smiled as we looked at our food, in rhythm. I smiled, the food in our house was tastier, but here, it was more enjoyable with them.
I took my spoon and fork. You might ask how a spoon and fork ended up here, well...I brought some.
“You’re using that?” I weirdly looked at Arius. Damn, what is he expecting me to use? Of course, I’ll use utensils to eat properly.
I nodded.
"Ohh, you're not using these?" Then he showed me his hands. Nah, no way that I'm gonna use that.
Should I be using that? Right, Filipinos are accustomed to using their hands when eating. I was also taught how to use my hands, then again, I didn't like it.
I'm more comfortable using utensils. When I was young, dad forced me to be 'etiquette' in eating. YES, ONLY IN EATING.
Though, I didn't know why. I always thought that he

NOLANI ran.I ran as fast as I could. She's near, I can sense it.I stopped and hid. I had to calm down, I'm shaking too much.S-She's devastating to look at. Her deep black eyes that reflect the void shows that she's not messing up. Her messy hair covered her whole face. Her dress that had once a beautiful and majestic color turned into a darker shade that made her horrifying."Come out now, wherever you are!" I heard her voice. I thought being near her was terrifying enough.But hiding in an unknown place where I can't see her is more terrifying. What if she's near? What if she's behind me?Goddammit! What the hell am I saying? I have freaking powers! Why am I so freaking coward huh?!What am I so fucking afraid of?!I'm all alone. We've hidden in different places. We panicked freaking too much!"You can't hide. I control this forest!" I could hear her vo

NOLAN"That's what she said." Amansinaya added. I'm really confused.

"RICE CAKE! SWEET RICE CAKE!" In a breezy morning, a young man shouted. He was there, in a market. So many people gave attention to him when he yelled. But no one bought his sweet rice cakes. Without any costumers, he still tried to sell.Hours passed and still, no one bought his rice cake. He was on the verge of giving up, the light that he once saw is fading.Until a few people went near him and buy those delicious rice cakes. He can't help but have an innocent and sweet smile on his face whenever someone buys his goodies. He wants them to buy all of his rice cakes, not because he wants it but because he needs it."Kailangan kong kumita para kila inay at itay. (I need to earn money for my parents)" The boy whispered using his native language. All he ever wanted was to help his parents. He yelled again and again so he can be noticed by the people passing by. Some people who heard him bought his homemade rice cakes.

NOLAN“Do you believe in mermaids?” I turned at my back to look at Orlene, irritated. Where in the world does she get that question? Only dumb people would believe that mermaids are real. I shook my head in disbelief. I looked at her again like she was the dumbest person in the world, then she frowned. “Why? I’m just asking a question.” Seriously? Is that even a question? It’s clear that mermaids are only mythical creatures and she would believe in those stupid kinds of stuff? “Are you sure you’re feeling well? It seems that you didn't have enough sleep and started asking dumb questions.” Then I howl with laughter. I laughed so hard in a way that I catch the attention of my classmates, “Oh, sorry.” I said then I stared at her, she’s now as red as a tomato. Aww, my little sister is embarrassed, cute. Well, we’re not real siblings. But I treat her as my little sister. She has the same personality as my late younger sister.I checked my watch…is our teacher not there yet?! Where in the

NOLAN“Wait for a second, who are you?” I asked her. I could not see her face. Geez, why doesn’t she want me to see her face? So selfish!She didn’t pay attention to my question. Instead, she answered me with another question.“Are you willing to find her? Even if it will put your life at risk?” She asked me. I was speechless for a moment at what she just said. Hmm, if it’s worth the risk, then why not? I opened my mouth, but I can’t come up with a word to say. So, I just shrugged at her. I cannot answer her question. Who knows? What I’m looking for might be long gone now.I suddenly removed that thought from my head, I don’t want to think that it will happen. I’m sure that it will pain me a lot if that occurs. I cleared my mind and looked at her, thinking for an answer to reply. She noticed that my eyes were fixed on her, so she tilt

NOLANI sighed as I walked towards my closet. I picked the most decent uniform to wear. Another day of school. Though, I’m not complaining that I’m going to school. It’s my dream when I was young. But, I DIDN’T KNOW THAT SCHOOL IS THIS HARD!I looked at the time. Dammit! It’s already 7:00 AM! We have a class at 7:15! I quickly wore my clothes, I went directly to the dining room, nobody’s here. Maybe mom and dad are still sleeping? I ate pancakes with syrup.I didn’t have time to drink my water. I quickly went outside and head towards our school. Well, Zonwolf University is not that far from home.Unconsciously, I looked at a girl running fast. It’s weird to see people in this place. Only a few people know about this, my family and I use this as a shortcut to school. Back to the girl, it looks like that she’s late on her work because of her messy hair and untidy clothes. Als

NOLANW-Wait what?!I was stunned, can’t utter a single word. ‘I-Is this another d-dream?!’ I asked myself. I looked at her; my mind can’t process what’s happening. Her arms were covered in water, so is her legs. Her top was also covered with fluid.The water that ran through her legs eventually became an aqua blue net that looked like a long skirt that covered her two skinny legs, just like what I saw in my dream. Then, the water ran up to her body and it made her semi-transparent cloth. The same water ran above her legs to her two arms and covered it with a net in a darker shade of aqua blue. A blue ball of water went up to her head and made her a beautiful shining crown. Lastly, the water drew something on her right arm; it was a wave, the waves of the sea.S-She’s a goddess.After she transformed, a pile of water went to her hand and formed a spear. I looked at her still stuck in my

NOLANA week has passed, and something unexpected happened. I looked at my back, I saw Orlene who’s now sitting and writing something on her notes. She apparently knew about the mermaid.She said she accidentally heard me and Amansinaya talking to each other. She even heard that Credail is Amansinaya. What’s surprising is that she didn’t even freak out. Instead, she was amazed that Credail is a goddess. She even wanted to see Amansinaya’s power. Heck, she nagged us the whole week just so she could see the goddess’ power! Therefore, we have left with no choice but to show her. Amansinaya and I decided to show it to her after class.I looked at the seat beside me. Amansinaya isn't early today, huh? Commonly she’s earlier than me every time we go to school. I looked at my watch, fifteen minutes left before our first subject starts.“Nolan, did you do our homework?” I turned my

NOLAN"Woohoo!" Orlene screamed at the top of her lungs. We all looked at the beautiful and harmonious view. The world looked so small up here!"They looked so distant." I murmured. I looked everywhere, trying to find something. My sight drifted to Amansinaya when she spoke."Hey are we like—you know...gonna find her here? I mean she's a mermaid right? Wouldn't be more believable that she's at the depths of the sea?" She ranted.Then I wondered, she got a point."Yeah yeah! But we have to make sure that she's not here." Arius spoke. Amansinaya rolled her eyes."So...ungodly." Orlene whi

NOLANMy eyes widened as I saw myself glowing. It was me! I’m freaking glowing!I glared at Arius, like me, he’s also stunned.“Bro, HAHAHAHA you’re glowing you bastard!” He roared while looking at me funny. He’s not even helping!“Have any idea what happened?” I asked, then suddenly he became serious. He stopped laughing as he held his chin. Probably thinking of possibilities who could have done it or what happened to me. Then, like a bulb lit upon his head.“Ah! Maybe someone’s pulling a prank on you.” I looked at him in disbelief. Can’t he think of a more believable idea?“Bruh, I would believe you then again with your personality, I won’t.” He then looked at me dramatically, as if I’ve said something offensive.“Bro, that&rsquo

NOLANDamn! What was that?“Arius I said fricking stop you jerk!” We heard Niara’s scream from outside. Arius only gave her a burst of laughter.Minutes passed, Niara and Arius explained everything. Apparently, Niara’s mother was Anitun Tabu, the Goddess of the wind, while Arius’ father is Kidlat, the God of lightning. They’re so-called, demigod. A demigod is an offspring of a God and a mortal. However, there’s still something off. We both looked at Orlene when she spoke. “Wait! You said that your parents asked you to help us. Is there any reason why?” That’s what I’ve been thinking for quite a while! Niara and Arius both sighed, “We…actually don’t know.” I looked in front of me when Niara spoke.“We only know that Bathala ordered our parents.” Wait, Bathala?“WOOOW! Bathala as in the King of Gods?!” I winced when Orlene spoke.“Yep! You got it, Miss Pretty Beautiful!” Orlene blushed at Arius, who’s beside her. Bruh, this freaking guy.Then he kissed her hand.“Oh−” Orlene’s face is

NOLANI woke up. I stared at the sun. The morning breeze made me shiver, so cold!I yawned. Damn, why do I feel sleepy again?“Finally, you’re awake!” I heard Orlene spoke. I looked at her irritated. She’s freaking blocking the view from the beautiful sun!“What?” I asked her.“Dalikamata said to hurry up, we have a long journey that awaits us.” I was about to speak when I heard my stomach growled.I laughed awkwardly; right I haven’t eaten anything since last night.Orlene sighed at me, “Get up,” She stopped as she saw me standing up, slowly. “Hurry up and eat!” She said.After I stood up, I looked at Dalikamata. She’s looking at the sun. Maybe embracing its beauty, maybe she’s waiting for it to set.Amansinaya’s

NOLAN“AARGH!” I shouted as I jump towards the direction of the two Manananggals.I aimed my sword at them, ignoring the throbbing pain on my feet. I sliced their two ugly heads, green gooey fluid splashed as the time their heads were cut.Wow, I didn’t know I could do that!“AAHH!” I winced when I saw their heads, what the actual hell?! Their heads are freaking moving!I looked at the two Manananggals as they began to fall down onto the ground.I screamed as I fall. I looked at my feet, the pain got worst. Looks like the rock got freaking deeper! Now, how do I get it out?!I rested a bit, a heavy pain dawned on me. The pain and tiredness are eating me up. Slowly, my eyes started to close. Until I let myself give in to that sleepiness.“Hmm, was it painful?” Asherah spoke then she grinned. The sun started setting, s

NOLANMy legs are now hurting.We have been walking for almost an hour now. We haven’t stopped or rested. I didn’t care if my legs are hurting so much as if they want to separate from my body. I looked at my watch. Amansinaya explained that the time here is not different from our time. We’ve been walking for quite a while yet we haven’t seen a single sign of the mermaid.“Let’s stop here.” Amansinaya turned her head to us. I looked at the place where we are.We’re in the middle of a forest. It’s not bad to camp here. Luckily, I bought myself a sleeping bag that I found in my room.After we’ve set up our own sleeping bags. We lay down staring at the stars displayed in the beautiful night sky.“Beautiful isn’t?” I looked at Amansinaya when she spoke.“Mm!” Orlene replied with a nod.“I always admire how they shine their light, unafraid of the darkness that was brought by the cold night.” Amansinaya continued.I nodded at her then looked at the sky. I wish you’re here so we could see th
