Celestia Rogue

'No! don't sneak out again! I have a bad feeling!'

I said unconsciously as I watch the child sneaking out again even after an angel firmly told her not to.

She is humming a really good lullaby that kinda seems familar to me.

Patuloy siya sa paglalakad upang hanapin ang misteryosong lalaki ngunit hindi niya siya mahagilap.

Patuloy niya itong hinanap habang kumakanta ng kantang madalas niyang naririnig bago siya matulog.

"That's an interesting song..."

A ccold voice said making her gasp as her face were filled with fear looking at the moon goddess.

"G-Greetings, to the moon goddess, S-Selene..."

Kabadong saad niya saka nag iwas ng tingin sa napakagandang diyosang may malamig na aura.

"Ano ang iyong ngalan munting anghel?"

Malamig niyang tanong saka ngumiti sa bata habang titig na titig dito.

"Selene..."

Saad ng isang boses bago pa man siya makapagsalita. Nanginginig siya sa takot matapos makita ng malapitan ang mga mata ng diyosa.

Puno iyon ng hindi kanais nais na emosyong nakakikilabot.

"This is an angel from my land."

An unfamiliar man said as she held the angel's hand.

"I see..."

Goddess Selene said then again stared at the child with a cold grin plastered on her face.

"Be careful next time, little angel...."

Ngumiti ito ng matamis roon.

"You might recklessly get lost again... Specially that, there are lots of demons lurking around, waiting for an opportunity to devour."

Tila ba makahulugang saad niya na nagpadagdag sa takot na nararamdaman ng bata.

"Thank you for your concern Selene, we'll get going now."

The unknown man said kindly as he held the child's hand tighter then smiled at her.

"Let's go, my angel."

He smiled, medyo napanatag doon ang batang tahimik na napatango saka sumama sa lalaki sa paglalakad.

Muli ay nilingon niya ang diyosa at bahagyang napasinghap nang matagpuan niya ang malamig na mga titig nito kaya agad siyang nagbawi ng tingin at sumama nalamang sa lalaki.

'Her eyes were full of anger, jealousy and greed'

She thought.

I sighed as I remembered the scene that I saw.

"H-here's your change babe---este miss!"

Utal at tulalang saad saakin ng tindera saka iniabot ang sukli sa binili kong mansanas habang titig na titig sa muka ko.

"Keep the change."

Ngiti ko saka kumagat sa mansanas na binili at kumindat saka tumalikod na.

I again hid my presence well since I don't need an unnecessary attention without my mask while exploring the capital.

I am planning to walk untill I reach Draco's house and bother him.

Taas noo akong naglalakad habang walang pakielam sa paligid.

I am wearing my casual outfit that I usually wear. A simple seaweed green cargo pants, and a black racer back tank top that I paired with an ankle boots.

It's way comfortable than those dresses with corsets that noble women wears. It's already modern era why do they still wear those?

Though it is their preference something about etiqutte I guess or whatever so I don't really mind as long as I am not wearing those.

Anyway, mabuti nalang at hindi puti ang isinuot ko dahil tiyak na nagkulay pula na ito matapos kong pumatay ng mga walang hiyang guardians----I mean nagbaon ako ng basura dahil ang mga kagaya nilang walang magawa kung hindi abusuhin ang kanilang mga kapangyarihan ay mabuti ng ibaon nalang at gawing pataba sa lupa, nang may pakinabang naman sila.

I warned them, with the help of the awakened gods, we warned them through prophets who dreamt of what will possibly happen in the future.

But all they do is pray with empty words without actions of actual change.

If this continues, I'm afraid theians will have to taste the fruit of what they planted along with Lucian and his demons.

The wrath of the awakened gods...

The war against the sun god is getting near, I can feel it.

The leaks are increasing, the glowing birds that shows up on safe places to guide the travellers and commoners are dying.

More theians were born without mana because of the increasing amount of demoms that we were doing our best to stop.

This world is slowly dying...

The beautiful lands will soon turn into a war zoon between the traitor and the gods who wanted to reclaim their rightful throne to save Mytheia from destruction.

And I am suppose to stop the destruction.

Naikuyom ko ang kamao ko roon.

Sa dinami dami ng makapangyarihang nilalang dito sa mundo ay bakit ako pa?

I am full of madness, I am reckless, insane, I am not kind or pure.

So why me? It still bothers me.

I should ask Aisha and Percival when they talk to me again.

Natigil nalamang ako sa paglalakad nang makaramdam ng delikadong enerhiya sa paligid at isang komosyon sa malapit.

It's Ayesha, bullying someone, a commoner? No, that man is already dead and is just possesed by a demon.

Napasandal ako sa malapit na pader at humalukipkip na pinanood sila habang may ngising naglalaro sa labi saka kumagat sa mansanas.

"A-Ayesha that man seems strange, dapat ay patay na siya!"

Saad ng isa sa mga bago niyang alipores. Ewan ko kung nasaan yung iba, baka patay na din.

I should open a coffin business infront of the Sullivan's resident, sa dami ng napapatay ni Ayesha sa isang araw.

"Then we should just continue our fun till he loose his worthless life."

Ayesha said then giggled as she kicked and electrified the commoner.

"That's what you get for looking at Ayesha!"

Natatawang saad ng alipores niya na nagpakuyom sa mga kamao ko habang malamig ang tinging pinanonood sila habang ang lalaki ang nagsusumigaw na, mukang magpapalit ito ng anyo.

Should I kill her?

No, masyadong madali ang kamatayan sa dami ng kasalanan niya, hindi ko siya bibigyan ng ganoong klase ng regalo..

I'm kind of busy most of the time to deal with a trash.

Napangisi ako nang unti unti ay magbago ng anyo ang demonyong umangkin sa walang buhay na katawan ng lalaki. It's a high level demon and it seems like he wants to have Ayesha's mana as his meal.

"A demon! a demon! call the high priest!"

Nagsisigawan ang mga taong nagsimula ng magtakbuhan.

"Ayesha! we should go!"

One of her team said making her glare at the theian and grabbed her neck.

"Huwag mo akong pangunahan."

Mariing saad ni Ayesha saka inihagis ito sa kinaroroonan ng demonyo at ngumisi.

"This will be easy for me, I am the second---"

"Actually you were the third now."

Pagputol ng kasama niya dahilan upang samaan niya ito ng tingin at akmang aatake ngunit nang makita ang paparating na atake ng demonyo ay agad niyang itinulak ang kasama sa demonyo at umiwas saka niya ito tinira.

Bahagyang nalukot ang kaniyang muka nang makitang hindi man lang naapektuhan ng tira niya ang demonyo na nagpatawa saakin habang nanonood padin.

She is uselessly attacking it but the demon would just keep snacking on her mana. Nagsasayang lang siya ng kapangyarihan sa ginagawa.

I saw how injured she is right now and the rest of her team already left her as she still believes that she could win.

"I can handle this guardian Ayesha."

Saad ng kararating na high priest na sinubukan siyang tulungan ngunit marahas niya lang itong sinakal at binuhat pataas habang pinadadaloy ang malakas na boltahe ng kuryente sa katawan nito.

It is the newly appointed high priest of the temple.

"Don't interfere, you pest! kaya kong talunin siya ng mag isa!"

Sigaw ni Ayesha saka ibinalibag ito sa malayo at kahit na hirap na hirap na ay pilit pading kalabanin ang demonyo.

Napabuntong hininga nalang akong umayos na ng tayo at nakapamulsang naglakad palapit.

"That's cute."

I said then let out a chuckle making her stop as she turn her gaze into me but suddenly froze as soon as she saw my face.

"You look pathetic."

I added then gave her sweetest smile as my pair of violet eyes glowed with visible bloodlust.

"No!No! No!"

She said with a horrified face, it's making me want to laugh and take a picture of her face.

"Why? you look like someone who have seen a ghost."

I shrugged then kicked her to avoid the demon's attack. Napaupo siya't napaatras habang puno ng galit ang mukang nakatingin saakin.

"N-No way...y-you're dead! that bitch is dead! so who are you! who are you! answer me slut!"

Sigaw niyang nagpataas sa isang kilay ko habang nakangisi ngunit nanatiling malamig ang mga matang nakatitig sakaniya.

I let my intimidating presence out as I look straight into her eyes with disgust.

"If I were you, I would be careful choosing my words."

I said with a dangerous tone as I easily dodged demon's attack then formed a dagger made with light and swiftly slashed it's hands making the devil shout in pain.

That made her gasp with shock as she saw how I easily hurt the demon when any of her attack couldn't even work.

"This can't be happening...y-you look like her! you look exactly like that bitch!"

Nakakuyom ang kamaong galit na galit niyang saad.

"Wala akong pakielam kung sino ka, papatayin kita kagaya ng ginawa ko sa basurang iyon! papatayin ko kayo kahit ilan pa kayong magkakamuka sa mundo!"

Sugaw niya saka pinatamaan ang muka ko upang masunog iyon ng kaniyang kuryente. Hinayaan ko lamang iyon at hindi iniwasan na malapad na nagpangisi sakaniya.

"I'll ruin that face of yours first."

She giggled, but then stopped the moment she saw how my face healed faster as if it weren't hit by a single lightning she threw at me.

"H-How....y-you! you're a demon! a demon!"

She shrieked making me laugh as I changed the dagger into a bow and arrow to attack the devil turning it into ashes with just one hit.

"Hindi ko ito matatanggap! hindi!"

Sigaw niya saka [ilit akong inaatake ngunit ni daplis ay hindi niya ako magawang matamaan.

"How funny.."

I said with a playful grin as caressed her horrified face.

"That's the same face your victims are making."

I laughed.

"Why are you so afraid? didn't you like these kind of games Wait..."

I gasped playfully.

"Don't tell me you didn't know? After committing such vicious acts, you should've known that there will be consequences greater than what you've caused."

I giggled while playing her hair.

"Shut up!!"

Sigaw niya saka muli akong pinatamaan ngunit napaubo na siya ng dugo dahil sa sobrang pag gamit ng kapangyarihan.

"I like that expression of yours better."

I chuckled.

"Die! die! just die Celestia! you're already dead! how come you're alive!"

Galit na galit niyang saad habang patuloy sa pag ubo ng dugo at pagluhod na nagpatawa saakin.

"I don't know who is that Celestia and what is your problem with my face---oh no, I think I have an idea."

Saad ko habang umakto pang nag iisip habang inilalandas ang dulo ng aking dagger ng dahan dahan sakaniyang muka.

"Nah...I do't think I'm right, you couldn't possibly just attack me just because you're an child in an adult's body who couldn't accept defeat? It's not like you're some kind of an insecure bitch."

Sambit ko saka malakas na natawa, nasisiyahan ako sa ekspresyon ng muka niya.

"Y-You're a demon! I'm sure of it!"

Takot na takot niyang saad na nagpatawa lalo saakin.

"If you say so.."

I grinned widely while looking down on her making her tremble in so much fear and pressure of my cold stares.

"Do you know what karma is?"

I smiled at her sweetly, hindi niya magawang makagalaw dahil sa bigt ng presensya ko.

"Think of what happened today Ayesha Sullivan, think of this feeling, never forget the fear you felt today... Think of it as your warm up, para naman ready ka."

Ngisi ko.

"Cause this will be the start, masyadong madali kung papatayin kita ngayon Ayesha, hindi pa sapat ang takot na nararamdaman mo ngayon."

Saad ko pa saka inilapit ang bibig sakaniyang tenga.

"I will make sure you'll pay for all the lives you stole slowly, you'll die slowly and live forever with fear without hope like what your countless of victims felt---No...you will feel more than how they did in your hands and I will be sure to watch you suffer."

Paunang bayad palamang ito, sa susunod ay sisiguraduhin kong sisingilin ko na siya ng buo. Napangisi ako roon ng malapad saka tumalikod na at naglakad para iwanan siya, ngunit pagharap ko ay naroroon si Draco na titig na titig saakin.

Napangiti ako doon saka kumaway na nagpailing lamang sakaniya.

"I missed you."

I whispered as I kissed the side of his lips, making his gaze darkened as he leaned closer to kiss me.

"Should I kill her?"

He said coldly making me chuckle.

"No, I still want to play with her."

I grinned making him smile as he held my hand and kissed the back of it affectionately.

"Draco..w-what are you doing? that woman is a demon!"

Deperadong sigaw ni Ayesha habang sinusubukang gumapang papalapit.

"Dare to insult my woman again, I'll make sure, you'll experience worst."

Malamig niyang saad dahilan upang mamutla si Ayesha habang mangiyak ngiyak na nakatingin kay Draco na nasaakin lamang ang mga mata.

"Don't mind her, let's go."

He said making me smile as I I walked beside him.

"You're mine Draco! You're only mine! mapapasaakin ka din! papatayin ko ang babaeng iyan!"

Nagsisigaw na saad nung basura na ikinadilim ng ekspresyon ni Draco.

"I want to kill her, I've been stopping myself since I found out what she did to you, for your plan."

Mariing saad nito habang naglalakad kami palayo na nagpatawa saakin.

"Be patient, it's not like anyone could harm me with you by my side."

Ngiti kong ikinapula ng kaniyang pisngi at tenga, gusto ko sanang asarin eh.

"Damn, I'm so whipped."

He chuckled then kissed my forehead making me smile as I teleported both of us infront of our house.

"What the----"

"It's our hidden house near our village where me and my parents are staying."

Pagputol ko sakaniyang sasabihin habang tulala lamang ito sa bahay sa harap namin.

"Your parents?"

Kunot noo niyang tanong na nagpatango saakin.

"I found my father alive in that world and managed to get out with him, sawakas ay buo na din kami."

Masayang pagkukwento ko sakaniya na ikinangiti nito habang titig na titig saakin.

"I'm happy as long as it makes you the happiest."

He said then kissed my temples and held my hand lovingly making my heart race as I opened the door.

"Ma! Pa! Kasama ko jowa ko!"

Malakas na sigaw ko pagpasok sa bahay dahilan upang maibuga ni papa ang kapeng iniinom habang nakaupo sa sofa sa living room kasama si Leonard na nabulunan naman sa kinakain.

"Ay tangina proud pa ang malandi mong anak!"

Saad nung epal habang si papa naman na mukang nakaraos na sa pag ubo ay masamang tumingin sa direksiyon namin.

Maya maya ay nakarinig kami ng pagkabasag, si mama iyon na naihulog ang hinuhugasang pinggan sa kusina na mukang nagulat sa pag sigaw ko.
