I’d like to believe that everything happening around me right now was all part of a fairytale that I once dreamt of. As this evening will go down in history as the most memorable night of my entire existence, and also for the entire Blue Moon Pack as well. It's hard for me to believe that the day we've been waiting for has finally arrived. Matteo and I have been dating for about 4 years and a half, and I have always dreamt of this day to come. I remember being an ordinary cook’s daughter back then and eventually became his friend and then lover. An overwhelming rain of delight showers down at me while recollecting how he first confessed that he wanted me to be his bride. In fact, he is going so far as to order his men to bring me the Sapphire blue gown that I will be donning for tonight. The sight of it dangling from the body mannequin that is located next to my vanity drawer just leaves me completely speechless. The sequences and swarovski beads that were incorporated into the de
The dark sky becomes the full moon’s stage to ramp its beauty as it shines down everything beneath it. There is this old story about the full moon that always fascinates me. It is about the Moon Goddess who often comes down to earth during the full moon to take a bath. It is said that there came a time when the lone wolf patiently waited for the Moon Goddess to descend to earth. The lone wolf instantly got fascinated by the Goddess’s beauty that he prefers to distance himself from her out of shame.Until one full moon when the lone wolf finds out that humans are sneaking nearby to peek at the Goddess’s body. The lone wolf defends the Goddess' purity by killing those humans who made an attempt to defile the Goddess’ purity.The Moon Goddess is moved by the courageous did of the lone wolf. And the lone wolf took the opportunity to confess his admiration towards the Goddess, however, the Goddess can not reciprocate the lone wolf’s affection for it is forbidden. What the Goddess did, ho
Just like the old tale says, the moon goddess blesses the luna bride on the first full moon of the year. And yet, here I am dying in vain because someone frames me up for an act that I have not done.While falling into the cliff, I am still clinging to that small ray of hope that someone will rescue me. In the end, I only see a light. It is so bright that it blinds me.And before I know it, I find myself waking up once more in a human form. I am even more surprised to discover that I am inside an unfamiliar room. Instantly, I begin to rummage my entire body but I see no single wound. What happened just now?I remember falling into the cliff after being pushed down by that traitor. However, as I try to visualize that person’s face, somehow, I just fail to remember anything about it. All that I can recall is the foggy clouds obscuring the face of that person.“Good morning, Miss Silverstone. I was about to open the curtains for you.” Suddenly, I turn out to be surprised by an abrupt
“Miss Claudette? Is something the matter?” Klen immediately takes my attention off my quick reverie.“I’m sorry, what was that again?” I immediately ask Klen the moment that I get to my senses once again.It is quite a relief that Klen has not bothered trying to insist me about what it is that I have been thinking about earlier. Instead, it is nice that he just replies, “ well, Ms. Claudette. As I was telling you earlier, that is if you don’t mind me asking, we have received a request coming from the police station inviting you to be the sole survivor of the accident that you and your father went through.”I can sense that Klen was a little hesitant to tell me all about it. I understand that it might be because he is just being cautious that I might still be in a traumatic situation given the way what happened to me and Claudette’s father. Too bad that I can’t just easily say that I am perfectly fine. It’s not like I am even the real Claudette Silverstone anyway. As a matter of fact,
“Are you certain that you’re alright, Ms. Claudette?” Klen immediately inquired as to the time that all of us were already inside the precinct lobby. I swiftly nodded and said, "Yes, I’m alright.” After a while, Klen immediately approaches one lady police officer, who is at that time accommodating people at the lobby, and inquires about the invitation we received earlier today.Not a moment long when the lady officer led the way to the police staff in-charge with our case. “Good day, I’ve been expecting you, Miss Silverstone. I am Police Sergeant Antony Gabriel and I will be in-charge in handling your assassination case.” the police sergeant introduces himself as he extends his hand to me.I immediately reach for it and smile at him. “Thank you, Sergeant.” I said.“Please have your seats.” Sergeant Gabriel immediately told us after. As we all took our seats, I couldn’t help but swiftly ask him about this assassination thing that he just said. “Sergeant, what do you exactly mean th
The Alforque manor.It seems like yesterday that I was inside there celebrating what was supposed to be one of the most unforgettable events in my life, and that was to be formally engaged to Matteo. But after all that they’ve done that night, that wonderful evening turns out to be my greatest nightmare.It is all because of that traitor. Unfortunately, I just can’t remember the exact picture of that traitor. The traitor’s face is blurred every time I try to visualize it.However, this isn’t the time to think about that traitor. If I can’t find the traitor quickly, I better warn my mother and my original self to avoid such faith ever coming to my present self again.The Alforque manor was always secured with men back in the days, however, this time, it is entirely different. It seems odd to me that there are fewer guards stationed around the compound; given that the Alfoque should be increasing the level of security they have at this point. Especially after the incident that happened
The room is heavily covered with thick black draped curtains that I almost couldn’t see through who this person was standing before me. All that I can envisage is his broad physique, long wavy hair, brusque arms. And have I already said that his eyes were a bit glowing, making me see clearly how beautiful like topaz her hazel eyes are. He must be a beautiful man but for some reason, the way he stares at me speaks differently. I can strongly say that he is a man despite just those silhouette physiques that I can visualize at the moment. I mean, I don’t think that he is a woman. I have never seen any woman of such physical attributes around the Alforque manor before.Right at this moment though, It seems like I am about to face danger being anywhere near this man. Yet, I can’t even move my feet to run away or even make any sound to ask for help. I wonder if someone will even come for my aid had I even made any attempt to shout for help. Perhaps, if I call for my mother then she might
It came as a complete surprise to see him so soon. It's hard for me to believe that out of all the people I'll run into inside the Alforque Manor, my ex-fiancé Matteo will be one of them. I just can't believe it.“Matteo?” and I even accidentally said it out loud.It's impossible for me to be mistaken about him because he's Matteo. The features of his face, including his eyes, lips, and nose, are intrinsically him. The only difference is that he now has tanned skin and messy long hair that is shoulder-length or longer and is tied in a half-ponytail behind his head. The fact that he even has a few braids is relatively odd.Does Matteo look like this before? When we first met, he didn't look anything like that, and it's all I can think about now. He has a whiter complexion than I do, which contributes to the fact that he is paler than me. He also has a neater haircut. And yes, he doesn’t have any brusque physique. Additionally, the Matteo that I am familiar with is not the type to str
Now that sounds really suspicious. But I know I can’t just argue with her about it. Taking that step might just make her harm me or take back the antidote from me. I have to pretend like everything is okay from my end.In this situation I am in, I have to make it appear before Magindara’s eyes that I totally agree with her suggestion. Somehow, there are points from her statement that really do convince me but a greater picture doesn’t deny me the intuition that she might be trying to take me in as tool for her ulterior motive.I don’t know what it really is but I have to be vigilant and ready about it. Ready in a sense that I at least could handle the situation even if I am not aware what kind of battle that I am about to face here.“I’ll see what I can do.” I just replied.I believe that would be the safest thing to say for now.“Do you have any other question so far?” Magindara asked me. I wonder why she suddenly came up with that question.Did she find or somewhat noticed it from m
“Nothing that involves you or Florante.” I told him that shut him up quickly.This time, I didn’t wait for Leandro to act on my request to withdraw the troops away from Magindara. And so, I yanked my head to their direction and yelled, “All of you! Lower your weapons and withdraw from her at once!”“You can’t do that, Miss Emalia.” Leandro tried to protest.“And why can’t I?” I retort back.“Because I am the one leading them, Miss Emalia.”“Very well.” I said with full pride facing the troops, I then added, “As your master’s bride, I also hold the highest command alongside your master. Deny me of this and you shall be severely punished by your master.”And it was like a fearing statement, all the troops begin to withdraw from Magindara and not even Leandro was able to stop that.Magindara still hasn’t remove her barrier but I saw on her face that she is convinced that I did this so that we’re somewhat even for keeping me alive. I nod at her as I make my exit from the cave.As the gua
It makes me feel regretful though but a tinge part of me has become quite the curious as to how the image from the translucent pearl just keep on showing Florante when I am so focused to see my mother?My inquisitive thoughts have been rattling me once again and this just makes me frustrated as I know I won’t set myself aside without trying to know the reason why. But apparently, it seems that Magindara doesn’t have the answers for me as well and this bugs me.“I feel bad for this but do you still wish to try it again?”Though deep down within me says I would prefer to, I think it would be better off if I won’t pursue trying again. It’s kind of scary trying again and then Florante will just be the end result of it.And so I told her, “No. We’ve done it twice already. If it’s not meant for me then it’s okay, but what I just don’t understand it that, why does it keep on showing Florante no matter how I try to concentrate to see my mother? Do you perhaps know a deeper thought about it?”
After handing over the small flask of my tears to her, Magindara went to her drawers and drop in some kind of a blue liquid into before she heads back in front of the translucent pearl once more.“Come closer. Now, as I drop your tears into the pearl, I want you to envisage the moment you wish to see.” She told me.It will be quite difficult for me to try and picture it out since it was the day I was born. I have zero recollection about it except for the stories that my dad often tells me.I wonder how on earth will I start creating such image in my head. But as Magindara head on to drop the liquid on the pearl, I quickly had to concentrate and think deeply about that moment when I was born. I could use my baby images to help me concentrate and it appears that it is working.The translucent pearl is beginning to glow and I couldn’t hide my excitement that I’ll finally get to see the image of my biological mother after twenty-seven long years.Even though Magindara has stop from singi
The beauty of the silver clam boasted as it spread itself open before us. It revealed a shiny pearl inside.“This is a translucent pearl. It can give you a mirror to reflect anything you wish to see from the present and past.”Could that pearl really be that powerful enough to see anything from the past?“Will I be able to see someone from the past even if I hadn’t got the chance to know them?”“Well, the pearl never misses anything the water could see.”“There is someone I’d like to see. Could it be possible thought…I wonder.”“Do you have anyone in mind you met while you are anywhere near bodies of water?” Magindara asked.I’m not sure if it’s okay to tell her a weak side of me. But I’ve been yearning to see an image of my mother. I wonder for real, if doing this will give me the chance to see her even for a short while.“I’m not sure. The last time I was with her was when I was born. My father says she died giving birth to me.”“I’m sorry about that but it seems like we have no oth
“You came back here for the purpose of knowing the truth. But your appearance in this era has made quite some changes in the present time without your knowing.” Magindara stated. She glides her way towards rock formation that resembles a cellar.Magindara gestured me to follow her and I followed. It’s such a surprise that I actually don’t find it scary following her. For some reason, I am just too confident or was it more like I find it normal.It never came into my mind that I am inside an enemy’s lair and a mythical creature that could easily harm me. was this boost of confidence because of the other half of the orient pearl residing inside of my chest?I held into my chest and tried to scrub it gently, I wanted to feel the pearl inside of me but when I find myself looking weird, I immediately stop.Magindara and I stop when we reach the ground where a lot of jars are kept. From different sizes and colors. The whole place appears like Magindara’s secret laboratory for me. I didn’t k
“Did you even try to talk to him again?” I asked. For some unexplainable reason, I really didn’t understand why on earth did I asked that. Was I really trying to torment myself further? I guess so.Magindara just looks at me with a serene face and answered, “A lot of chances came to me but I never push through.”My brow wasn’t able to control itself from rising up as I followed up to ask, “But why didn’t you?”There, Magindara just smiled shyly, “I came to the point of asking myself, if I ever ask for forgiveness and he forgive me. Then the two of reconcile, what would happen if Aman Sinaya will return and ask for the same question again. I’m scared that my loyalty for Aman Sinaya will only make Florante hate me too much that he would rather kill me to death than see me alive.” She said back.I wanted to strangle her. Deep in my thoughts I wish I could just slap her for once but who am I to do that even if I am Florante’s fiancé.Magindara is bound in her faithfulness towards Aman Sin
“Florante saved me once. When some fisherfolks tried to hunt me down, Florante came to my aid and wash them out using the tidal waves. I owe him my life, so I told myself that I would love him and care for him…”Hearing those lines from Magindara stiffen my nerves. This impulse is making me crazy. I am now being consumed by the jealous frenzy. And the feeling just got more intensified when Magindara added saying, “…and I was happy that Florante noticed me and my affection for him. Perhaps it was because he was longing for someone to value and take care of him that’s why he finally noticed me. For quite some time, I stayed in his dome and had the vision of being wed to him. I know it came to his mind that he would ask me to be his wife but something came up.”The sudden turn of events from statement made me more curious. I just have to find the right words to make it sound from my end as if I was just less interested yet at the back of my head, I am so eager to know.And so, I asked, “
There I realize that maybe that was the bargain they made for their only child. That in exchange for their child to live, they have to offer even their own lives. It’s a very noblest thing for his parents to sacrifice at such extent.I feel all the pain that the young Florante is currently experiencing right now as I see him nestled himself on the ground wailing in tears. I can read through the movement of his mouth how he tries to call for his parents but since they were stoned, apparently the poor boy won’t be able to receive the response he was yearning to hear from them.“In exchange for the boy to live longer, his parents made a deal with the sea God. They will offer their lives to be used as auxiliary life source so that Amanikable could transfer his mentala to the young boy. Florante’s state was so fragile that if it’s not done that way, Florante might not be able to handle to amount of mentala inside his body that he will soon perish to death quicker than they could even imagi
