LXXXI. A Teacher of the Past

Sir Tanori and Amethyst were just having their coffee outside the office. It was overlooking the city of Jazel at night as they were high up on the cliffs. The veranda was always their favorite spot.“If that woman is really a Moonling, what would you do about it?”For the first time in a long while, Tanori had no quick answer. He just stood there looking at the full moon, the heat of the coffee escaping in small wisps of smoke that dissipated into thin air. His cup was still full. He was again thinking deeply.Amethyst knew why Sir Tanori had no answer.“Restoring the relationship of the Moonlings and the Earthlings seems too impossible for now, sir. Moonlings don’t even show themselves to us anymore. Who knows how many years that woman has been hiding her real identity.”All moonmages knew the stories. The Earth and Moon were once two spirits who fell in love with each other. But then, the Moon was infected with an illness and decided to kill herself so as not to harm Earth. Earth w

LXXXII. Time is Backward

Raii Shin was getting an earful from Dawn.''You were what?!''Their classmates turned around towards Dawn and Raii Shin's seats. Raii Shin felt awkward.''Um, Dawn, you might want to lower your voice? Everybody's staring,'' she pleaded.Dawn looked around, only noticing by now. ''Oh, right, sorry.''A girl named Harana, a known dancer and a social media figure rolled her eyes at them. Dawn may not have noticed it but unfortunately, Raii Shin did. Raii Shin even saw Harana say something to her friends and laugh while pointing in their direction. Fortunately, Raii Shin wasn't into girl fights or gossip so she really didn't care. They were already in college. Everyone should be past childish things.''So you're telling me that you got in a serious match with a senior in your taekwondo class? Isn't that against the rules? Did you complain?''Taekwondo class is what Raii Shin always used as an excuse whenever things got busy at Orion. Dawn was a smart woman but for some reason, she alway

LXXXIII. Standoff Between the Marred Moon

Their part-timer disobeyed health protocols again.There she stood at his office, all sweaty, with an odd-looking book in her hand. Everyone had stopped what they were doing upon hearing her story.''Do you know where your teacher is, then?'' Sir Tanori was already typing at his screen and signaling orders to the others. They still didn’t know anything at all. But seeing the confidence oozing off from Regina, he didn’t have any reason to not listen to her and act accordingly. Regina was displaying determination. She had thought this through.''I have a clue, based on one of her notes.'' She brought out a crumpled piece of paper.''I found it weird on why they are written vertically and why some of the words don't follow any spacing at all.'' She then pulled another paper. When they squinted closer, they found out it was a rough draft of Jazel. She placed it above the last page of the book.Regina turned on the flashlight of her phone and lit the papers from behind.Rituals.Host.Immo

LXXXIV. Another Case Closed

“Sir Tanori, are you sure you want to take in the grueling task of teaching the basics? You already have lots on your plate,” asked a lady in a black and purple corpo attire who was standing in front of Tanori’s table.Tanori looked at the office clock first. There were only a few minutes before midnight. He then turned to his messy desk with papers, pens, notes, and coffee sachets. His mouth made a tsk sound. Looks like he won’t be able to guide that part-timer again because the stack of papers were keeping him glued to his seat.“I have to do it, Ammie.” The secretary raised her brow at the mention of her nickname and she cleared her throat while her eyes moved around the office to see if the others had heard it. Tanori immediately realized his mistake.“Amethyst, I mean.” The lady then acknowledged it by nodding her head in approval.Geez, women. Now, I don’t feel like I’m the boss.“Why the sudden need? You have competent mentors under you who can do it for you. Or are you not sat

LXXXV. Two Dimensions

Raii Shin had to skip class for the whole day. Dawn kept on ringing her phone and bombarding her with messages which Raii Shin only noticed when Orion Agency was having their quick lunch before they delved into the details of what they were going to do.If you're gonna ditch class, why didn't you call me? I badly want to take a break from Mr. Crescentiment.''Mr. Crescentiment was their nickname for their teacher in Arts that doesn't stop talking about how arts is the whole world. The professor was too passionate and every afternoon, Raii Shin and Dawn wouldn't stop laughing, impersonating him how cringey he was.Sorry, I'm on my period. Couldn't hold the pain anymore.It was half-truth. She really was on her period though thank the heavens, she was not having cramps.Okay, okay. Use your warm bag and drink the tea that I gave you last time. I'll try to talk to our teachers to cut you some slack. See yah tomorrow!At least Dawn bought her excuse. Raii Shin couldn't think of a more rea

XC. Realizations of Reality

When Wayl finally stopped talking, the night was too deep. Normal people would be sleeping but here they were, wide-awake as they were slapped by reality, including Lidon.Maryan didn’t look like she was enlightened. She sat there in front of the fire, a blanket over her body and the orange reflection of the flames highlighted her face all the more. It was as if she had a hunch of all the things that Wayl said but it was only until now that it was confirmed. This wasn’t new at all to her, Lidon could see.She finally verified her truth, he thought.But to Lidon, not only was it a long history but a shocking one. All his life, he only thought about serving the Rigiddin and his village. He never cared about the past of humanity or the Shore because he believed whatever happened then can never be changed and that the present and future was more worth fighting for. But hearing the other side of the story instigated something within him–to know more.He had been listening outside for hour

XCI. The Last Witness of History

That day, Lidon woke up to a different morning. His brain was on fire like an apocalypse just happened last night and he knew exactly what he should have done to prevent it from happening but instead he just slept through the night, waiting for someone to do it. Pathetic. He was still that same boy, peeking through the cracked wall and staring at the back of the young chief Raius, the man whom he swore fealty to and admired more than his life.He was in the middle of his complicated thoughts when there was a loud banging at the door. The house where they stayed in only had one room available for Maryan but lucky for him, there was a nearby shed where they kept their gardening tools. At least they had the decency to let him sleep although he was trained to hold his drowsiness.The banging wouldn’t stop and Lidon opened with a full swing of his arm.It was Maryan. And there were tears in her eyes.“G-go to the house,” she stammered, her face in a state of shock.When a woman sheds tear

XCII. Caught In-Between

It was nighttime when they came for Maryan.She had been sleeping for hours straight. That was good. She had to take her time to relax while she still could. Lidon watched over her the whole time, eyeing the windows for any movement outside. The sunset passed over them in a bloody color as if reflecting on what happened earlier.Who could have killed the old man? How did the culprit do it? And what was the reason behind it?As Lidon had observed, the guerillas respected him. It was evident in the amount of his visitors upon hearing of his demise. In just a few hours, the mountain was busy with people moving up from different directions. He was like a legendary general who served his country well. On the other hand, Lidon can’t fathom how a guerilla leader, an enabler of the bad times, could be revered very highly.Lidon still couldn’t quite grasp the reason why people still want to become guerillas in this age and time. Why would they fight in the deep mountains and away from the amen

XCIII. On Point

It was only when the guerillas shouted did Maryan wake up to reality.“Get out of there!”Maryan looked at Lidon with terror written on her face. Her eyes were wide in fear and she was quivering despite being covered in thick clothes. Lidon knew that Maryan wanted to plead right then and there but she was too afraid to even squeak one word. Lidon approached the door and asked,”What do you need of her?”“The leaders have decided. Everyone present before his death will have to testify in front of the guerilla council. Only they are able to determine if she is guilty or not.”Lidon could sense that they weren’t just one outside. Lidon had his ears pressed on the door and he could hear the faint and slow walking of the others. They were quietly surrounding the shed and he could clearly hear the clink of metals. Too many footsteps.“Shouldn’t she be exempted already? She’s your ally, a commander of Hearth, the one whom you are partnering with in this war. She even risked her life to meet
