Final Chapter: Secrets of the Wind
I caught a glance of myself in the glass wall of the flower shop I was working in. My hair was really the unusual color, like an albino. But I am sure I was not one. I was not born with this hair, through growing up white strands just started to show and now my hair was nearly all white. That was the reason why I cut my long hair and always wear a hat, to hide it from speculating eyes.
I fixed my hat and picked up the spray I was using to water the flowers. Just then wind passed by, nearly tucking my hat out of my head. The wind made some flower petals dance with it up above the air. I smiled by the beautiful scenery of the dancing petals basking under the rays of the sun.
It was a happy scene yet my heart started swelling. Sigh, I just can’t make myself continuously happy, I wonder why too, maybe in my past life I have committed a huge sin?

The man's footstep sound was swallowed by the wind as he run through the forest of the Crook. He was almost at the orifice of the Willow now. He was safe. After the entire chase from the Milieus, the evil wizard's followers, they have finally given up. If only he had the permission to eradicate all of them he would have done it in a blink. But the orders were strictly no killing till time has come. He can only sigh; he cannot afford to contradict the Supremacy for the time being. As he got at the clearing, the luminescent moon was shining proudly in the sky. It was a cloudless night. The moon's light illuminated his ashen hair and accentuated the sparkling blue parallel lining that surrounds it. He turned his gaze to the Willow of Llfhame and saw something glinting in the sky. Was it a star falling? Quickly, he entered the Willow following the direction of the light's descent which was now falling faster than it was earlier. It was gaining speed as it falls closer to t
“Magandang Umaga!" greeted the receptionist. I was amazed and a little bit stunned. This store was using the ancient language. Hundreds of years ago it was the language that was used in the world but as time passed, the language continually changes and evolves. As a respond to the receptionist Johann nodded to her. I continued to look around, in awe of what I was transpiring before my eyes. Such beautiful dresses! Fabulous designs! But my sightseeing was abruptly interrupted when the lady receptionist gasped.“Captain! I didn't know you were supposed to visit today!"“Is Griselda here?" asked Johann totally ignoring the receptionist’s antics. I bumped him to get his attention which I didn't fail to do. He looked at me and mouthed what."You're so rude!" I whispered.He just shrugged and asked the receptionist to call the woman named Griselda. After a while she came back together with a middle aged woman. She has a measuring tape in her shoul
"Johann cannot make it Lista,” was the news I heard from Monk Amon early in the morning.It did make me sad. I was hanging on to the fact that Johann will be there for me on the entrance examination easing my nervousness. But what could I do, I guess he got caught up in an emergency for him to break his promise. He never once did back down to his word. Even at that time. He told me we would meet on my 17th birthday but my day nearly ended and even his shadow was not there, or so I thought. Because that midnight he came to my room with tattered clothes and bleeding arm. He was injured and in pain, but the words that came from his mouth made me shed tears. He was smiling when he said it.“I made it," was his words. So I know that something is up, some emergency that he could not leave. Well, I only hope he is okay. Right now I should get ready. Without Johann I might collapse because of nervousness. I am so anxious that I almost pleaded
Hah! At last I've capture them, now I've secured my poi--- what was that? My vision began to dim, slowly until it was completely gone. I blinked rapidly and I regained my sight back but all I could see now is a radiant black light like those colorful Tinkers but this one is, oh, it's the black tinker, the strong one. I guess I became its victim. I should probably be panicking right now but for some reason I don't feel anxious or scared. "Listarte" A voice that seems so distant echoed in my ear. Who's there? I asked. "You have showed great power," it said on an approving tone. I even imagined the voice nodding. What do you mean? And who are you? “I am the guardian of these Tinkers; some calls me the Great Tinker. I have come to meet you my dear" What, what do you need from me? "I do not need anything from you dear Lista, I have come to pay respect and to warn you of the foreboding danger. You shall pre
The cheers outside hasn't subsided. The thrill of the exam was still on going the crowd wasn’t even growing tired while I on the other hand felt a thousand sharp knives piercing my body. The mental challenge was even harder than any physical exercise! Plus the mana exhaustion I was feeling, my body was ready to retire to bed anytime. Currently I am in the orientation hall of the academy. The 30 white mahò users who passed the second test were all gathered here. Out of the 150 examinees only this bunch withstood the challenges. Everyone’s appearance was traced with tiredness and faces were haggard as if they have ventured in a 1o kilometer run before arriving her but they also had satisfied expressions, proud that they have come this far. The headmaster himself will welcome all the incoming 1st years and will brief everyone regarding the rules and regulations of the Academe."Did you know? They say the principal is an aberrant," said Antonella, the second placer of the

An explosion covered the whole place with dust. Two people were in their fighting stance, both wands in each other’s throat.“You should give up, you can’t beat me Lalia” said the woman fighting against Lalia“Huh! Where will I see another wind mage as strong as you, if I beat you here I would be the strongest.” Lalia stood firm, resolved in beating the opponent. She threw another spell towards the woman, leaping backwards to have a better range.“Chime Wind, Defendio,” defended the woman. The opponent, who was also have wind as her element was clearly stronger than Lalia. But Lalia wanted to defeat her, not for her pride but to become even stronger to protect her love ones.“Power unfathomableBlow everything possible, Blast!” Lalia casted again, the spell produced a strong wind leaving even trees uprooted. But the opponent wasn’t so easy to deal with; another defensive spell was perf
"What do you mean what a surprise, you were the one who barged in here!” headmaster shouted in a whisper. “Oh, I didn’t know you were the professor here, so it’s truly a surprise, haven’t seen you in a while,” the woman’s voice was still lively. “And how did you get here? Did he give permission?” When the headmaster asked this, the woman’s face slightly turned sour, but was quickly replaced with a proud look, chin up, she said the next words that earned a reaction from the froze wizlings. “Ha! Yes, I got permission from Johannes, that man, not even allowing us to get some fresh air.” She exasperated. By the mention of Johann’s name the huge door opened once again revealing a nearly out of breath Johannes. “What have just happened?” Nellie spoke, still astonished by what just happened. Who was that woman? Who was she in Johann’s life? I was already hearing the other girls talking. They even didn’t make an effort to avoid letting me hear their conversat

“Moria!” I flinched when someone slapped my face. Slowly, I opened my eyes and saw a face I have not seen for the longest of time.“How dare you sleep in the middle of a war?” The accusing voice was so refreshing, I missed this feeling.“Ferepia,” I called out to the owner of the hand who slapped me.“Yes it is I, the great fire goddess, now stand Moria, you have a battle to win.”When I realized what was happening I quickly stood up and my eyes witnessed the horrendous scene before me. Dead bodies were everywhere, the once green lush ground was now filled with ash, and the trees that were within battle range were all down, burned and destroyed.Meters away from where I was standing, emitting black energy was The Grand Arch Wizard. But there was something different the energy was decreasing. It was constantly decreasing!“Did it worked goddess Ferepia?”Th
“Chant Lucianna”*“Seething fire of judgmentI offer my strength to give you strengthBurn the your brightest, leave only ashWith your eyes punish the sinners”*For a moment nothing happened, nothing appeared after she chanted the spell, then a flickering light began to grow. In a short time, a bright flame, no, it was the brightest flame I have ever seen danced in from of us.I did not wasted anymore time, I began to fuse my wind spell at the bright flame. The wind would be the guide of this child’s power, the power that will end the enemies.Together, Lucianna and I raised our hands, pointing our spell towards the huge bubble below us. I saw our allies’ faces inside the Johann’s board domain; I trust that they will hold on.“Now!” With all our strength the huge force was directed down to the battle field.I caught Lucianna when she was about to
There was another detail in the prophecy that everyone failed to take notice of. The most important part that will be the key to all of this, it may be our only chance. It was indeed possible for a goddess to defeat this enemy but only one would not suffice against so many enders. So if one would not be enough, we should just call on more.“To my allies, people of Llfhame, for many decades you have put your trust in the gods. Once again, show your devotion and belief; call upon the help of the gods! Together!” I used air to transmit my voice to my comrades.It is gamble since the enemy could hear it too, but this is the only chance.“Your coward gods would never come!”“But I am already here,”Up above the air, I produced a large magic circle enough to cover the whole battlefield.“Now Johann!” I yelled at Johannes who was fighting below. There was no time for him to look at
“Lucianna!” Johannes exclaimed when Lucianna suddenly launched an attack towards me as she approached us in great haste.“I am sorry oh great goddess of the wind, I just can’t seem to forget my burning hatred for you, can you grant me your benevolence?” she sarcastically remarked.I held Johann’s hand and stopped him from going nearer Lucianna.“What happened?” I asked her.Though it is true that Lucianna hates me I know she did not meant to kill me. There is no intention to kill in the energy surrounding her, in fact there was the willingness to cooperate. And of course her hatred for me. the fact that I am a goddess did not seem to have any effect in her view of me. I am still the annoying girl who stole her love interest.“They are ready to execute the plan anytime. My brother is in position,”I nodded at her and faced Johann, “It is time, go lead everyo
Slashing and clashing sounds could be heard all over the place, the other aces were on standby not so far away from the battle field. William ran all around the place, circling Antonella who was rooted in her place.William could have easily go on offensive and return the damage he have taken but because it was Antonella he was facing, he could only go as far as getting on defensive.“Why wouldn’t you fight me?” asked Antonella with an edge of irritation in her voice. “You indeed see me as someone who is weak! That’s what I hate most about you, it’s always you… the genius, the best, the healthy and outstanding William!”The nearest root started to attack William, he sped forward, towards Antonella but a smoke that was violet in color crawled towards him and he knew that if he inhaled that smoke, he would faint. So in one swift motion, he avoided the attacking root and distanced himself from Ant
The wind has become harsher; it felt the brewing danger from the resurrection of the Grand Arch Wizard. Once Johann and the spirits have settled, we came back to the formation and followed the original plan. The others from the academy and the temple were already in their positions, if this comes to worst that plan, we could only hope that is enough.“Don’t worry, we can defeat them,” Johann’s smiling face was oddly not comforting.He trace of smile from what happened earlier was still there, I shook my head in disbelief which only made him grin wider.“William is still restraining Antonella, and we could already see the progress, everything is going as planned.”I remembered the meeting we had at the academe, how we formulated the plan and prepared all the back up plans in case the first strategy fails. We have used all the resources we have, all to not let the Grand Arch Wizard grow more. We should
The wind brushed harshly against my skin as I soar higher to the skies, the creeping feeling of his gaze still lingers in my skin. Quinn has also felt it, the overwhelming pressure the enemy emits.“What are you planning to do?” Beside me Johann struggled to fight against the pressure of the wind, my eyes rounded when I realized he was with me.I was too hasty, when I felt that gaze I moved on instinct, and my instinct was telling me to run away from that place immediately. I ordered Quinn to halt and the wind quickly calmed down, we were higher up in the skies, we were not able to see what was on the ground anymore.What I saw up here was a familiar scene, I once saw this in my memories, that time I was with him, “Harlequin,” the name suddenly came out of my mouth.“Moria?” there was wonder in his voice but I could hear the joy by my mere utterance of that name.“The Grand Arch Wizard has ful
“Antonella?”“Yes?” she answered as if there was nothing wrong with her.But I know it, and I feel it, she was not the same Antonella I know. And I could feel it, energy opposite of the ember I hold.“Where are the milieus executives?”“They are preparing for the resurrection right now?” she nonchalantly said.My eyes almost widened but I was able to maintain a straight face.“Did they hurt you?”“Why would they? They opened my eyes! Now I am able to see the ugly truth about the life I have been living,” she spread her arms wide and her lips trembled.“Let us go back Nellie, to the academe; William is worried you know,”Antonella’s expression turned into the worst turn after hearing William’s name. A circle formed under her feet and the trees around us began to move. It was turning into a
