Aziel Draco Adryan Silvers Zacharia

For a thousand years I stayed in the afterlife with nothing but darkness and passing souls, it's too overwhelming and it pains me to do it, but I did everything in my power so I won't forget her once I am reborn.

I can't see Celestia in this world's land of souls, she's probably lost in another world's after life because of her blood line.

And every second I spent from the very first day I am here.. All I could think about is her, all I could see is her beautiful face and all I could hear is her melodic voice.

I know that I might not be able to come back.

But I prayed and prayed, that once again let our fate meet. Let me cross path with her once again.

Praying that if ever I get another chance, I will spend that entire life with her once again and finally live our lives filled with happiness. And even if they say that our fates are not supposed to cross, being the ruler of darkness and the daughter of the light. Then I would just have to cross another life and spend it with her.

I won't ever get tired until they stop messing with out fates.

Eventually, as time passed by, my voice got louder and louder it reached the creators.

The light, Celestia's mother in the past, found me and granted me that wish. To be with Celestia once again..

A door opened in front of me in the after life and I didn't even think twice as I decided to open it.

It's Mytheia, thousand years later.

A far more peaceful life, with it's citizens living in harmony, no matter what your status is.

Celestia will surely be happy, if she's with me, seeing that the world we sacrificed ourselves changed to a better place.

I can't feel her in this world, I don't know if she already got reborn but I will wait.

I waited for a thousand years, I can wait more years, just to be with her.

My powers also got fully revived, I can even feel that I've gotten stronger.

I opened a portal into another world to find the love that I lost and fulfill my promise.

The moment I saw her again, I feel like I'm alive. Para bang totoong nabuhay na nga ako nang makita ko siya ngunit hindi ko alam kung papaano siya lalapitan nang hindi ko siya natatakot.

She doesn't remember me. Unlike me who came back from the afterlife, she got reborn which made her forget. 

Nakita ko kung paano siya mapayakap sa sarili niya pagbaba niya ng kaniyang sasakyan.

My breeze is hugging her, something I wish I could do at the moment.

Gustong gusto ko na siyang yakapin at hagkan. Gusto ko na siyang makasama.

"I knew that ominous dark power is yours."

A familiar voice said making me grin.

"How are you Leonard?"

Ngiti ko habang pinagmamasdan padin ang pinakamamahal.

"She's still the same as before, balasubas padin. I'm sure, if you introduced yourself to her, she'll fall for you. Kasi malandi ang gagang iyan."

He hissed.

Inirapan ko lamang siya. Nang mapansin ang kaniyang katabi.

"Is this the love you found, back when you stayed in this world for years, before? she got finally reborn huh?"

I said making him grin.

"Yes, she's a half human, half deity. I can finally be with her as long as I live."

Bakas ang kasiyahang saad ni Leonard habang sinasabi iyon saka hinawakan ang kamay ng kaniyang asawa.

"I'm glad."

I said.

"Leonard told me everything."

His wife said.

"I just wish, you'll take care of my friend for me."

She smiled, napatango ako doon.

"I will, with all my heart and soul, it's our vow when we got married before."

Ngiting sambit ko saka muling tinitigan si Celestia.

They left after that. Leonard told me that they just teleported here to greet me and doesn't want to bother us. But I know, he just wanted to do that thing with her wife.

I frowned bitterly.

I also did it with her in our first night... Well also our last night. But it is the best night of my life, that the time I spent in the afterlife is not enough for me to forget that.

'Tangina bakit ba hindi ako makatulog?! Nakapag kamay nako't lahat lahat wala padin!"

Narinig kong reklamo niya sakaniyang isipan na nagpainit sa pisngi ko't nag iwas lamang ng tingin.

I sighed as I gently kissed her with my breeze. Unti unti ay bumigat ang talukap ng kaniyang mga mata roon at tuluyang nakatulog.

Napangiti ako doong dahan dahang lumipad patungo sakaniyang silid.

Her fragrant smell is all over the room, and her soft expression is over whelming, I just wanted to hug and kiss her.

Napangiti ako roong taimtim na tinitigan siya. Isang bagay na kahit kailan ata ay hindi ko pagsasawaan. I wanted to have her in my arms, but right now, I have to be contented with this.

"Sleep well, my love."

I whispered and then gently kissed her forehead.

The moment I had her in my arms, is enough to make me think that the wait is over and it is so worth it.

I teared up, feeling the overwhelming happiness.

She remembered me! 

"When I was in the afterlife I never forgotten you, not even once. But the moment, I was allowed to get reborn, I knew I would  forget everything. So I casted a spell on myself, that once I see you again, all my memories of you  and everything that happened will come back."

Garalgal ang boses na pagkukwento niya.

"I waited for you Draco, I waited for so long, but the time is not enough for this feelings to fade away. Mula noon hanggang ngayon, ikaw parin, ikaw lang hanggang sa susunod pang mga taon at hinaharap."

Ngiti niyang mabilis na nagpatibok saaking puso saka tuluyan ng inangkin ang kaniyang malambot na mga labi.

Pareho kaming napapikit roon.

"I Celestia/Draco, promise to love you with all my heart, with all my soul, through prosperity and darkness. To hold your hand in hardships and joyfulness, to guide you to the right path, to give you light when it's dark, to give you shed when it's blinding."

"To give my all to you in this life and even in the after life, you will all I would ever love. With this ring, we sha'll be one, I will engrave this vow of mine in my body, in my heart in my soul."

We both announced our vows in front of everyone in that world's temple, called church.

She is so beautiful in white, it feels like she'll glowing. I don't know if my rough hands should be holding her recklessly like this but heck, I'm addicted.

I just want to stop the time and hold her in my arms forever.

Nakanganga lamang ang kaniyang mga magulang sa buong seremonya, samantalang ang kaniyang ama ay tuluyan ng nawalan ng malay at kasalukuyang pinapaypayan ng kaniyang ina.

Celestia called them just now, to tell them she's getting married, a week after we met again.

She used her connection in this world to make the procedures faster.

"Ate ano to?!"

Gulat na saad ng kapatid niyang si Lucius. He looks exactly as that identity, Celestia used back then, I have no idea, he's a real thing.

"Wala kang mata? lamang kasal duh, next honeymoon na hihi."

Hagikhik nitong nagpailing lamang saakin.

"Sino ang lalaking iyan Celestia at paanong ngayon kayo ikinasal?"

Kunot noong tanong ng kaniyang ina.

"Kasi hindi bukas, charot."

Humalakhak siya doon.

"Yun na nga, mama na love at first sight kami---"

"Wag mo kaming lokohin ate, walang matinong taong papatol sayo, saang mental mo dinukot iyan?"

Tanong ni Lucius na nagpangiwi kay Celestia.

"Hoy baka gusto mong pasabugin ko yang pinagmamalaki mong kotseng galing lang naman sa bulsa ko, batang to, di man lang magpakasupportive."

Iritang saad nito.

"Itoo naman si Ate hindi mabiro! Welcome to the family bro! ang pogi mo sana kaso bulag ka---charot! congrats! hehe..."

Ngumuso lamang itong inirapan ni Celestia.

"Mama! si Stelle po may sinapak sa school!"

Sumbong ni Silver saamin patungkol sakaniyang kakambal ni si Stelle.

"Eh sabi niya kung matapang daw daw ako harapin ko siya eh, edi sinapak ko, left and right para informed siya."

Irap nito dahilan upang mapahilot lamang ako saaking sintido, samantalang si Celestia na buhat buhat ang bunso naming anak na si Phoebe ay kunot noong binalingan ng tingin si Stelle.

"Yun ba yung batang lalaking uhugin sa kanto?"

Taas kilay niyang tanong kay Estelle na nagpatango dito.

"Bakit mo sinapak!"

Nanlaki ang mata roon ni Lucius na nasa tabi ko at kumakain.

'Is this real? Sasawayin niya ang anak niyang kasing siga niya?'

Narinig kong saad nito sakaniyang isipan na nagpakunot ng noo ko.

"Dapat binayagan mo din!"

Ngisi niyang nagpatango tango sa anak namin maging saakin. Napatampal nalamang ang kapatid ni Celestia roon at naiiling na ibinalik nalamang ang atensyon sa kausap sakaniyang telepono.

"Oo nga noh? sayang! dibale mama next time pag ka hinamon ako gagawin ko yon."

Hagikhik nitong nagpailing nalang saakin.

Estelle who has silver hair and violet eyes has the power of darkness, while her twin, despite of being a boy, Silver, gained an ability unlike every males in their bloodline.

He has the ability of light. Just like his twin, Silver has Silver hair but his eyes is also silver.

"You should also knock him down next time."

I suggested making my little angel smile widely.

Napangiti ako doon nang hawakan ng bunso naming anak na si phoebe ang aking daliri gamit ang buo niyang kamay.

Her hair is mixed with silver and light brown, and her eyes is both silver and violet.

It's still unclear to me, but I can feel both light and darkness in her, as well as Life and destruction.

When she was born, the sky got devided into two, the moon turned gold and all the stars fell from the sky.

The birth of a great goddess, just like when Estelle and Silver was born..

And just like me, my children were immortals. Were having a hard time hiding it, since it is not considered normal in this world and unlike Silver, Estelle moves a lot.

Looking at them makes me feel delighted, seeing how they can still live normally among the mortals.

Hindi ko hahayaang maranasan nila at maramdaman ang mga naranasan ko noon.

I want them to feel all the love and affection even if I am having a hard time expressing myself.

I may not have the best past, but it doesn't have to be passed on to my children. And my lovely wife helps me a lot on guiding them.

I just want them to face their bright future ahead with a beautiful smile. And whenever they look back, they would see us, always having their backs.

"Ewan ko sa pamilyang to! Mababaliw ako lalo! Diyan na nga kayo."

Lucius hissed as he stood up, nailing nalamang kami ni Celestia.

"Oh siya't magluluto pa ako! Da, pahawak nga sandali si Phoebe."

Ngiti ni Celestia na bahagyang nagpabilik sa tibok ng aking pusong nagpahalakhak saaking kabiyak.

"Oh natulala ka nanaman sa kagandahan ko!"

Hagikhik niya saka masuyong humalik saakin at iniabot si Phoebe na agad ko ding tinanggap saka ngumiti sakaniya.

"Mama, tulungan ko po ikaw."

Malambing na sabi ni Silver saka yumakap sa binti ng kaniyang ina.

"Sure, tara na?"

Ngiti nitong nagpatango kay Silver saka humawak sa kamay ni Celestia at dumiretso na sa kusina. Napangiti nalamang ako doon saka binalingan ng tingin ang mga munti kong prinsesa.

"Papa! Let's have a tea party while mama and silver cooks!"

She gigigled making me smile as I also carred her while still carrying phoebe.

"Sure, if my angel wants it."

I smiled as we both went to get her box of toys to play in our living room.

Noong una at tawang tawa pa saakin si Celestia. It's quiet fun game, and their giggles are priceless,  so I love playing the princess role.

Estelle put a tiara in my head, braided my long silver hair and even put a messy make up in my face along with phoebe.

I was laughing heartily with my angels, playing dolls with them, when my wife came with silver.

"Kakain na!"

Anunsyo niyang nagpatili kay Estelle.

No matter how busy they are in playing, they won't miss meal times, specially how good the food that my wife prepares.

"This is the best."

I whispered making Celestia smile.

"Binola mo pa ako."

Tawa niyang nagpangiti saakin.

"I don't do bola, I just say what my thoughts are."

Kibit balikat kong saad na nagpatawa sakaniya.

"Konyo yarn?"

Halakhak niya.

Living with my family is filling with nothing but happiness. There are a lot of ups and downs, but thise are not enough to tear us apart.

We've been through a couple of lives and deaths and we would always find ourselves in each other's arms, simple challenges won't even buldge us.

And no matter how long the time has passed, no matter how fast the clocks runs, she is still the only one my heart belongs to.

Even if she turned old and gray, my heart still races with just a sight of her. She is still as beautiful as the first time I laid my eyes on her and my feelings never changed.

Not even a bit, in fact, it becomes deeper and deept that I could never see the bottom of it.

Masuyong niyakap ko si Celestia mula sa likuran habang siya ay nakahiga saaming kama.

"Amoy lupa na ako Da, wag ka ngang masyadong nagdididikit."

Iritang sabi nitong nagpahalakhak saakin.

"You still smell great to me."

I said and sniffed her hair.

"Did you feel upset earlier? why did you lie?"

I asked making her sigh.

"Wouldn't be embarassing to have an old woman like me to be your wife? Ilang beses ka ng napagkakamalang apo ko, hindi ka ba nahihiya?"

Tanong niyang nagpakunot ng noo ko.

"Kahit ipagsigawan ko pang ikaw ang kabiyak ko ay wala silang pakielam. And if you were bothered by their words, I could just make them silent for a life time."

I hissed.

Humarap siya saakin. Her soft skin, became wrinkled, her hair turned gray and she can't see much anymore.

But her deep gaze still drowns me.

Ngiti kong hinaplos ang kaniyang muka at maduyo siyang hinalikan sa noo.

"Let me kiss the most beautiful woman in my eyes."

I whispered when I noticed how she avoided it.

"But----"

I didn't let her finish her sentenced and kissed her lips softly.

God, I love this woman so much.

"I'm old and ugly."

She pouted making me shook my head on her.

"Look in my eyes, Celestia, look how beautiful you are in my eyes. I don't care if you look old and wrinkled, you're still the same woman I love so much, that I crossed the after life for thousands of years just to be with."

I stated then wiped her tears.

"I love you so much Celestia, you're already, deeply engraved into my heart and soul, that you being old doesn't change a thing... So don't worry too much."

I added making her nod.

"I love you, Drashit."

She smiled making me laugh.

"It's been a while since I heard that."

I chuckles making her laugh softly.

"Hoy, matanda na nga ako't lahat lahat may sumusundot padin."

Reklamo niyang napakamot ulo saakin.

"Because you're too irresistable."

I sighed making her roll her eyes on me, then kissed me softly.

"I lived another great life time with you, I have no regrets. This life is only filled with happiness, thanks to you abd our children."

She smiled then yawned.

"I'm gonna sleep now."

Mabigat ang paghingang sambit niyang nagpatango saakin..

"Good night, Celestia, see you tomorrow."

Bulong ko saka masuyo siyang hinalikan sa noo at sakaniyang labi..

"I love you, Aziel."

She whispered weakly as she slowly, closed her eyes, sleeping in my arms.

A lonely tear fell from my eyes as I felt how her breathing slowed down along with her heart.

"I still can't get used to this."

Bulong ko saka nakangiting hinalikan ang labi niya kasabay ng pagtigil ng kaniyang puso.

"See you in the next life, Celestia, don't you dare leave me again in that life."

I whispered then hugged her while still crying silently.

It didn't take too long, after that as a new creator arised along with me.

"Glad to see you again, Drashit."

She smiled at me sweetly after the crrator of light bestowed her the tittle. Wala na akong sinayang pang oras at mahigpit soyang niyakap kasabay ng pagpalakpak ng mga nilalang na kasama namin.

"Don't do that again."

Sambit kong nagpasilay ng ngiti sa maganda niyang muka. She looks just like when she came back to life, in mytheia.

"Mother!"

Our children, the great gods of Yara came to greet us. They are delighted to see their mother again after a year of her death as a mortal.

Walang pagsidlan ng saya, ang puso lo ngayon habang pinagmamasdan ang aming pamilya.

This time, we will surely live another great life, filled with love in each other's arms.

I feel complete as I held her hand once again and leaned closer to kiss her.
