Chapter 14

"Huh? Why? Is it because- "I didn't finish what I was going to say because he suddenly answered. "I can't come because it's my mother's death anniversary." My mouth was shut. I sghed and smiled at him. Does he think I'll be mad at him because he can't come tomorrow? "Yes and? It"s more important than my practice tomorrow. " I said happily and continued to grow the plant. "Don't worry, spend your time tomorrow on your mother's death anniversary." I added. "I thought you'd be disappointed." It's really good that I understand Lyf better now. Maybe because he responds more or showy? I just easily understood him. "What disappointed? It"s fine, my practice is not important. " I answered with him. "Sorry." It was so persistent, I couldn't help but stand up and hold his head. You know I love patting his head. Especially since his hair smelled like coffee, he didn"t seem to mind. So I always do it with him. "Don"t be, I"m actually thankful because you helped me with this. Even though you kind of… on the opposing side. " I remarked and stopped patting his head. Actually Lyf doesn't really completely approve of this. He did help me but he"s not really sure he likes what I"m doing… Learning a second blessing I mean, maybe it will give me danger. Knowing this blessing is a bad blessing. But I replied to him that our copy blessing looks like a good blessing. I just touch a person in a few minutes and instantly copy their blessing. "Are you really sure about this? I have a bad feeling. " I just shrugged at what he said. I confidently flipped my hair and said… "Who do you think I am? I"m Dethyria Javier, the one with a curious mind. Even if it's dangerous, I can handle it. " I'm proud to answer him. But his expression didn"t change, still worried and all. "Atsaka, did I give up on you when you said you were gay? Isn't it? I"m still curious about you! " His mouth fell open and he sighed. "You did stop for 3 weeks, so…" I immediately nodded. "That doesn't count! I'm busy learning other things ok? " I retorted, his expression calmed down now. "Yes, curious about other stuff besides me." I raised an eyebrow at what he said again. What does it say? "What the heck is with you? I thought you wanted me to be curious about other things and I did! Didn"t that just answer your wish or something? " I have high eyebrows. "Not anymore." His answer was short. I just stared at him, he'll take care of it. I"m still chasing him but- why is he responding like this ?! What kind of development happened to him? Maybe it started when he turned into a child? Or the time I became curious about something else? "What"s‘ not anymore "? speak clearly. All right, I will really chase you forever and will ask a bunch of questions about you. " Napaisip naman ako and continued… "I will really include your personal life, I will be crossing the line. You will def- " "Ok." I didn"t finish what I was going to say because he intervened in what I was saying. "Huh?" -Me. "I said, ok. You can cross the line. " My eyes widened, MADERPAKER- are we sure it's Lyf? M-maybe he"s possessed? He definitely wont say something like this right? S-maybe he was possessed when we were in the cave? Or when he was a kid? H-he started acting weirdly when that happened. "As long as it"s you. you can cross the line. " ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "
I slowly walked towards Lamia"s academy. I"m with Nyphele today and we walked towards don together. "What happened to you? Don"t you feel like you"re on your own? " Nyphe asked. "By the way, what were you talking about when the prince?" "Nothing." That's my only answer, when I told Nyphe what happened, I might not believe it. Lyf"s been bolder lately. When we arrived, headmaster Ares was there. The older brothers, Fallon and Lamia, are also there. Lamia confronted us. "Let's start!" she said. We already started and I tried to copy Nyphe's blessing. It was doing fine and we had super fun. We"re already in the main empty hall of the academy. We don't have a class for some reason, "Are you done with your picture taking?" Our older brother asked, Nyphe and I immediately nodded. By the way, we took pictures for our memories at school. We are about to graduate, this is because the span of the 4th years is small. Then we were training. But for the rest of the years, they have whole year round classes. So if you"re a fourth year, you probably have like 3-4 months of class only. We"ll be trained to be a professional hunters, so we can hunt during the night! I'm super excited. "Nyphe is the only one who mostly takes pictures of me, there are only a few with her." I said again. "Let's take a picture together then, for memories!" Lamia said loudly to us, we immediately agreed. "It's a pity Prince Lyf isn't here." I commented, they all looked at me and looked at me curiously. "Tell me Lady Dethyria, are you an older brother? It"s not that I oppose you, I definitely support you both. " Lamia asked. I was immediately depressed, why did he think that? "N-no we're not-" "Isn"t it really? You both talk a lot than the rest of us, he usually answered you too. " Nyphe replied, I just raised an eyebrow at her. "We"re just friends. Besides, he"s just responding to my questions, I"m afraid I"ll tease him. " I answer again. "Don"t hide it, it"s ok. I approve even though you"re harassing him every day. " This time the older brother answered. I would have liked to speak in case Fallon intervened. "What? I thought they were dating already, but in lowkey. Not yet? Prince Lyf"s eyes were scary when I talked to Lady Dethyria. " -Fallon. What are these saying? "I seriously don't have any connection with prince Lyf, I'm just curious about his wings." "Are you sure? Just wings? or… someone is making up what is there. " I just didn't respond to what Nyphe said. I'm not sure either, do I really feel anything? I"m only focused on his… body. I sound like a pervert pero totoo naman- But when I say that, I might be mistaken for many Nyphe. "Since Lady Dethyria's second blessing has already worked, shouldn't we try something new?" Lamia asked, we looked at her at the same time. "This room is also a training room, I think our profs kept a corrupted species here." He added. "Ah I remember! This used to be a training room. " Said Headmaster Ares. Headmaster Ares walked to a large door. We entered at the same time. It was some sort of stadium or something, "This used to be a training room, case abandoned. I don't know why. " -Headmaster Ares. "We still have corrupted species that we can summon here." -Fallon. "Summon?" I will ask. "Yes this training room summons corrupted species, here they often train for blessing." Fallon replied. "Let"s try!" "Let"s use my blessing. Thyria. " My eyes lit up at what my older brother said and I immediately touched him. "You seem quite excited." "Hehehehehe I always wanted to try your blessing, it's just cool." I said smiling. "So let"s start! Who will I control? " "Me." The older brother and Nyphe said at the same time. "Wow couples again, let's go." I laughed at my comment, they ignored me anymore. Kuya told me how to use his blessing. And I immediately followed it. "What are we going to do?" Lamia asked. "Ok here"s the plan, you will summon a corrupted species. Lady Dethyria will control me and Lord Dasher. " Nyphe replied. "Lady Dethyria will control us while fighting the corrupted species." Nyphe added, Lamia and Fallon's eyes widened. "Wait isn't it difficult?" Lamia asked. "There is Lord Fallon and Headmaster Ares. They will stop us if things get out of hand. " The older brother answered. "Come on why are we going extreme?" Fallon asked. "I heard the higher ups… that something will happen in the future. A disaster. " My older brother replied… I was stopped. What? "It was just a vision, not sure yet. The one higher up has a vision blessing, giving a picture to predict the future. " Explanation by Headmaster Ares. "So if this works, then better." We looked at each other, that's why my older brother is super eager for things like this. We have already started. Lamia and Fallon summoned the corrupted species, I focused on controlling Nyphe and kuya. I was really in full control. Their eyes light up, it means they are already controlled. There are only a few corrupted species so they can easily disappear. Because Nyphe is a top hunter and her older brother is also good, it's easier. "This is great! It worked! " comment is Lamia. I sighed in relief when they had exhausted the corrupted species. I immediately confronted Lamia, Fallon and Headmaster Ares. "Nagwor-" Lamia didn't finish what she was going to say because her older brother and Nyphe suddenly attacked them. What the- "What happened Lady Dethyria ?!" shouted Headmaster Ares. I immediately looked at him- aren"t I still in control? What happened? "I don't know-" I replied, they were heading straight to Lamia so we stopped them. I- I lost control, their eyes were still glowing and… I sense bloodlust. "Stop controlling them!" Headmaster Ares shouted loudly, Fallon started grabbing Nyphe"s arms but he didn"t do it. Nyphe"s strong too, kuya and headmaster Ares were the ones who fought. Which means just balance their strength. Lamia seemed surprised and just stood on the side. "Wh-why are they attacking us ???" Princess Lamia asked, looking pale. I think he was surprised when Nyphe and older brother almost hit him. What is happening? Did I lose focus? Headmasters can't hurt Nyphe and Kuya. So all they did was prevent the attack. Kuya was still holding a sword and so as Nyphe. So it"s really hard on the side of Headmaster and Fallon. "Stop this- hey wake up!" Fallon shouted at them. I immediately helped them, I headed straight to my brother summoned a rope. "The one before was ok, what happened? Why did they start going rogue? " -Lamia. "Their eyes are still glowing, Lady Dethyria. Did you lose control? " Headmaster Ares asked, I immediately shook my head. "I- I already stopped kuya's blessing." I wasn"t sure now; did I lose control? Or am I no longer in control? "I already canceled his blessing- why don't they stop!" I screamed, I have no choice but to kick my brother in the stomach and he knelt in pain. "I'm sorry but-" I didn't finish what I was going to say because he suddenly got lost in my rope, what the? "Princess! Go call for help! " Headmaster Ares shouted loudly, Lamia immediately nodded and ran away while we stopped them from moving. I summoned my weapon when KUya would have chased Lamia again and blocked him on his way. "Kuya! Wake up! Snap out of it! " But his eyes were still bright and his expression was emotionless. W-where did I go wrong ?! Everything was ok before! What happened?! I didn"t fail… I didn"t fail! I wasn't wrong, but why is this happening? "Just continue attacking Fallon !!" Headmaster Ares shouted. "Lady Dethyria, do something to stop them." He added. I nodded immediately and walked away from them. Fallon switched in with me, I backed away and started to use my brother"s blessing again. Why… why can"t I stop it! I can"t help but my head hurts, my head hurts like crazy. my other eye is tingling and burning in pain, I was caught in the forehead ko- huh? I feel a bump… wh-what is this? I didn't pay attention to that, maybe I was just swollen or something. I had no choice but to use my whip. "Headmaster! Take them with you! " I said loudly, Fallon and Headmaster Ares immediately did what I said. And I made them catch. But for some reason, my whip started glowing… huh? It made my head hurt even more. I was surprised when my older brother and Nyphe suddenly shouted. Huh? What's happening!? Why do I feel like… I"m getting stronger ?! They lost consciousness. But they started losing color. It was as if someone was absorbing their life force. They started going pale, and their lips started turning purple. Is it the whip !? I immediately let go of the whip- "Lady Dethyria!" I slowly looked at them. Their eyes widened as if shocked by what they saw. Like they saw… a monster? "Y-you have… a horn in your ri-right forehead." -Fallon. "Your right eye is red." -Headmaster Ares. What? What? I backed away because I really felt a pain in my head. My right eye is hurting and my right part of my forehead hurts so bad. I slowly touched my forehead again, right Fallon… it feels like a horn. A demon horn? I stumbled down again. At the same time, look at the behavior of the older brothers. They were so pale- "T-take them both s-outside." Suddenly I said. I have a bad feeling about myself. That seems like something is going to happen. "We won't leave you here!" Fallon shouted and approached. "Don't come near! Don't come any closer! Go outside now! I"m getting dangerous! " I"m crying, it really hurts… it"s like I"m going to burst! Before I can speak again. A large force went out of me and hit Headmaster Ares and Fallon. The older brothers haven't been hit since they were down. "FALLON! HEADMASTER! " I shouted. What is happening to me? Why do I seem to be losing control? I was ok before- I felt a strong power flowing inside me again. I shuddered to look at Headmaster and Fallon again. They were pale… like kuya and Nyphe. I wish I could approach them, but my body hurts so much I feel like dying. Because of my headache, I didn't realize that I had used a blessing. It was Lamia"s blessing providing information. It was blurred at first, just like Lamia said. But I keep staring and staring until it clears up. Then I saw. (Steal Blessing: steals another people"s blessing. Flaw: if used too much, it will suck life force with the people around you.) I can't speak to what I read, nor even make a reaction. I just feel… nothing, after my headache and eye pain. I feel nothing, yet I stood up and walked towards my older brother. What have I done? I looked at their pale bodies. "N-no this is not true… stop-" Are they d… dead? No they"re not dead! Just unconscious! maybe it"s giving me misinformation! I gritted my teeth and slowly kneeled down and touched my older brother's face. "K-kuya… hel… help me." Crying I said, what did I do? I was so desperate, so it happened. I only used a little blessing and I didn"t use it too much. But why did I lose control? It wasn"t supposed to be like this. "Kuya…" I said crying. But he did not answer. "Nyphe… I'm sorry." My voice cracked. When I said it, "I don"t know why I lost control. I swear- I had it under control kanina- " Again, the headache came back. Why did I grow a horn? I bowed down, there was a small puddle and I saw a glimpse of my eyes. My right eye is red and the other is blue. I couldn't help but touch my eyes that were already red. I feel like this right eye is burning, I can't help but scream. It feels like I"m going crazy, I looked at Headmaster Ares, Fallon, kuya and Nyphe. That had previously been pale and seemingly lifeless. "I- I caused this, I-I'm to blame for why they're like this." I said softly, i… sucked their life force. Is that why I feel overwhelmed? Is that why I feel like bursting? Is that why… I feel so… powerful. That"s right, I feel so powerful. I feel like ripping something off… my eyes stopped dripping. "What have I done?" "T-thyria." I immediately turned to the speaker, my eyes widened and I immediately approached my older brother. "K-go! You"re awake- i- I"m sorry. I"m so sorry. I messed up and… "even though he was pale and he could close his eyes he was able to smile. "It"s not your… fault. Lil sister. " I bit my lower lips hard and itstarted bleeding. I immediately shook my head and took his hand. "K-kuya, I-I will take you outside. I will save you… j-just stay awake ok? Kuya, ok? You are the only family left. " I said tearfully to her. "Sorry." I started bursting into tears again when he said that. Why? It"s not his fault! It's my fault, because of my curiosity… "Kuya don"t say sorry please, it was me. It"s my fault, I"m sorry. I'm sorry to scold you brother. Please? Don"t leave me, j-just stay calm. I will save- " "I may not be able to keep my promise little sister." I shook him again and pulled him hard. I wanted to carry him but- My leg has lost strength, I can"t walk- I can"t walk! I can"t save kuya if I can"t walk. At least the older brother please- "Shh… brother don't say that. I will surely save you, please stay awake. Keep breathing. " I have no choice but to crawl and dragged kuya. Fallon, Nyphe and Headmaster Ares… are unconscious. I will get them next when I'm done releasing my older brother. I will save them all- "Thyria… keep doing what you love. I"m sorry if I can"t keep my promise and I don"t blame you at all. It"s not your fault- " "WHY DO YOU KEEP SAYING THAT! YOU WILL KEEP YOUR PROMISE! YOU SAID YOU"D PROTECT ME AND YOU WONT LEAVE ME LIKE MOTHER AND FATHER! " I shouted loudly at him, he slowly reached out for my face. Even with his eyes closed, he still managed to touch my face. "Kuya please? Do not leave me? I- I don"t have anyone left, promise I won"t be reprimanded. I- will not disappoint you anymore. " I cried and begged. "I will do my best not to disappoint you. h-I won't do anything to make you angry, please stay awake. Please please, I beg you. " Please… my older brother is the only one… left to me. will you take him too? Like mother and father? Isn"t this my fault? Shouldn't I be the… Should it disappear? I accepted mother and father"s death. But the person I just left behind? why would you take him too? "God… please not… my brother. A-ako nalang, I don"t care what will happen to me… just save my kuya. " Kuya is kind, kuya is caring- Although he is not showy and strict. He keeps protecting me, he saved me from my relatives. He didn"t do anything wrong, he doesn"t deserve this. "Thyria…" was the last thing my older brother said to me, his hands fell down and… I can"t even do anything? I"m useless. I caused everything, including my bestfriend. The people around me… it's my fault. Why are they still… lost? "Thyria, we don't blame you." I slowly looked up and saw Nyphe, Fallon, Headmaster Ares… along with older brother standing. Spirits spritutal… spiritual energy? (What Deth"s seeing is spirits leaving their body. Usually happens when people die, but it"s a rare scene to see. So very few have seen something like this. -Queen A.M) Why- am I seeing this? hallucination, this must be a hallucination. Illusion- it"s not true, they"re not dead. My head hurts a lot and I think I"m on the verge of collapsing. I"m just seeing things, not really what I saw. They were looking calmly at me. "Goodbye." At once they said, I opened my mouth, wanting to speak. Saying they don't leave me. I want to say sorry, I swear I"d be good pero… why are they leaving me. I reached out my hands trying to grab them but… they were fading away. NO! NO PLEASE- "Please… don"t… leave me." That's all I said, but they keep fading and they're gone forever. my vision gradually darkened. Before I knew it- a fell down to the ground with no strength. Suddenly I heard the door open loudly. "Dethyria !!!" it was Lyf"s voice… but I slowly turned a blind eye. I lost consciousness. To be continued...
