EPISODE SEVEN

"Georgina's obsession"


City Library,

"Good morning, Miss Gomez. It looks like you are early in your visit to the library," the librarian said.

"Hi Miss Marcy, you look great today. Where's Cristy? Is she here?" Georgina asks the librarian.

"Not yet, and you are the first person to visit the city library, " the librarian replied.

"Okay, once she arrived, please let her know that I am at the second floor." Georgina said.

"Sure thing," The librarian replied.

Meanwhile, Cristy continues her investigation into her sister's death. She sneaks out to the LABORATORY where she opens a file on Dr. Nero's office, she doesn't know that the room has a CCTV and Dr. Nero's team is curious about what she's doing.

"Is she's Georgina's paid investigator?" Dr. Miko said.

"Of course, she was asked by Georgina to get some evidence about what we did to the other test subject. Remember about her facial expression. I think she knew that we were the ones why the Superhumans were roaming around the city. Especially, Chrysanthemum, I am wondering where she gets her powers. Dr. Lucio said.

"As Dr. Nero said, that woman was not our product. And regarding her daughter, Miss Georgina. Her dad said, let her daughter investigate." Dr. Miko said. While they saw Cristy was checking on all the folders until a folder caught her attention about the test subject's name which she saw the year where her sister was missing and found dead in the woods outside of the city. She immediately read the names and what the experiment did to the test subjects. Her world stopped when she saw her sister's name.

"Lambana serum?" Cristy read the document and she immediately grabbed the folder when she heard someone was coming. She hides at the table where no one can see her.

"Is there anyone there?" said the lady but Cristy covered her mouth so that she couldn't make any noise. Until the woman closed the door again and she immediately left the room after she confirmed that no one was around the hallway.

GOING BACK TO THE LIBRARY

Georgina starts to read all about the mythology.

"Mariang Makiling is the most widely known Diwata in Philippine mythology and was venerated in pre-colonial Philippines as a goddess known as Dayang Masalanta or Dian Masalanta who was invoked to stop deluges, storms, and earthquakes.

Maria Makiling is a prominent example of the mountain goddess motif in Philippine mythology, other prominent examples being of 's and on 's ." Georgina said while she was reading about Maria Makiling. When suddenly Cristy arrived and called her attention.

"Why are you late?" Georgina asks.

"I just sneak to your dad's office to find some evidence of what you said," Cristy said.

"But did you find something?" Georgina asks but Cristy immediately responds and says...

"Nothing!"

"Gosh! We are starting again from the start." Georgina said and Cristy noticed the book that she was reading.

"Philippine Mythology?" Cristy said while pointing at the book that she was reading.

"Yes, this is very interesting, did you know about the fairy? Maria Makiling." Georgina said.

"What about it? They are just myths." Cristy said.

"Yes, but did you know? Maria Makiling has the same ability as Chrysanthemum. I have a strong feeling that the Vigilante was Maria Makiling." Georgina said.

"Why did you say that? And if the vigilante was the legendary Maria Makiling. Did she help us with the killings and missing of the innocent people?" Cristy said.

"Bestie, Calm down. What I am thinking is if we do have a chance to talk with the vigilante. we can help her so that she will know who will be the next victim." Georgina said.

"Huh? I don't understand. What do you mean by helping her to know who will be the next victim?" Cristy said.

"Nothing, did I say that? As I said, we can ask for her help to know who will be the next victim as the news said, Chrysanthemum will always appear in the scene where the crime scene is. This will be a big help on my cases, you know, Attorney?" Georgina said.

"I Got it!" Cristy said.

"Well, let's go and I want you to meet the new judge in town," Georgina said

On another side of the story, let's jump into the world of Ayden where in the southside of the Kingdom called Ajax.

"This place has changed. The last time, I visited this place was twenty years ago. This whole place is nothing. But now It changes." The woman said while she was roaming around the plaza.

"But the kingdom of Ajax was not for them, they tricked the king and queen and now the princess was missing. Aside from that. They are corrupt!" Another woman said.

"That's enough, let's go back to the castle, the trying-hard queen is waiting." The woman said.

"Meriam enough of using those silly words, Maybe someone will hear you and they will tell this to the Queen. You will be punished." The woman said.

"Alright, I will not do it again Nicky," Meriam said as she promised.

Meanwhile in the castle of Ajax where the Queen of Ajax was sitting on her throne up until the visitor came.

"Greetings Queen Esmeralda of Ayden, what made you visit here?" The Queen of Ajax said.

"Greetings Queen Nerisa, I am here just to validate the report we got from your citizens. That you forced the small entrepreneurs to pay big taxes, which from the code of Ayden all the small entrepreneurs should pay at least 1% of their profits." Queen Esmeralda said, and then Nerisa stood up from her seat then she smiled because of what she heard from the queen of the Ayden.

"Queen Esmeralda, ever since we took this small kingdom, I always follow the code of Ayden. The report that you've heard was just a rumor. Don't you remember? They just accused me of an Aswang. But when the council investigated this rumor. They didn't see anything." Nerisa said.

"Yes, and the Aydenian who did the investigation was still missing up until now. ~" Esmeralda said she was about to say something when Nerisa interrupted her and said.

"This matters that you've personally checked, was not a job of a Queen. Let your team check this send an investigator coming from your kingdom and let them gather info. If those rumors are true, I'll step down as a Queen of Ajax." Nerisa said.

"Well see," Esmeralda said then she waved her hands an instant she disappeared.

"AHHH! That crazy woman was trying my patience every day." Nerisa said then an old woman approached her and said.

"My daughter, just calm down. With all of your powers, you can defeat her and get her powers especially the whole kingdom of Ayden." The old woman said.

"Mom, you are ruining my plan, for now stop flying around in my kingdom. Especially, Esmeralda will bring her henchman from her Kingdom. I don't want to get caught as I am finding the fourth piece of the scepter from Novaria. Up until now, I don't have any lead where that stupid thing." Nerisa said.

"As you wish my daughter," Her mom said and as she was about to walk away, she called her mom's attention and said.

"Mom, you may visit Senior Arnulfo in the other kingdom so that the investigation will point to his kingdom, let them confuse the investigators," Nerisa said then her mom smiled.

GOING BACK TO EARTH,

While Cristy was lying in her bed when suddenly an owl calls her attention from her window.

"Cristy, you need to help the next victim you might be caught by the Killer now." The owl said then she nodded her head as she agreed.

"Let's do this heart of Gaia," Cristy said then her necklace lit up when she touched it, and at the same time she recited a spell...

"Necklace of Gaia, turn me into an animal who is in front of me and can see in the darkness of the night," Cristy said, immediately she transformed into an owl. While Georgina went to the crime scene before the incident happened. she hid in a trash bin.

"If I am not mistaken this is the place where the sixth victim will be killed by the unknown killer. I need to do something." Georgina said.

In a few minutes, she saw a woman who was walking in the street immediately the mysterious killer appeared and the killer showed his victim the knife as the moonlight hit it, his dagger glowed. She also remembers the investigation where she hears from the police about the description of the killer.

"His dagger is glowing!" Said by victim who was able to escape from the killer.

"The victim was right, but that dagger seems familiar to me." She said while staring at the dagger. She went back to the present when the Victim was shouting for help.

"Chrysanthemum," she said when she saw a huge vine trying to catch the killer but she was amazed when the killer could move faster in a different place an instant then she saw the Vigilante appear.

"Who are you? and why are you hurting innocent people?" Chrysanthemum asks the Killer smiles then he answers.

"These humans that you are protecting were not as clean as you've thought. The same on the woman who is hiding in the Trash bins." The Killer said then the trash bins flew away, then Cristy saw her friend Georgina.

"Georgina what is she doing here!" Cristy said then she saw Georgina waving at her and said.

"Hi Again Chrysanthemum!"

"What do you mean by they are not clean? Everyone in this world is not clean," Chrysanthemum said.

"You will know this in the future and nice to see you again Cristy." The killer said then suddenly he disappeared; Cristy was stunned for a moment when she heard that but she gained consciousness when the victim thanked her.

"Thank you, Miss Chrysanthemum." The victim said when she was about to leave Cristy gave her a Lavender Chrysanthemum.

"You can use this so that the killer can't follow you. and you may leave now." Cristy said when the woman left, she asked Georgina why was at the scene.

"I don't know if you believe me, but I can see what happens in the future. I am a superhuman like you Miss Chrysanthemum. I am a clairvoyant." Georgina said.

"Well, next time if you see anything please have someone with you, or much better you need to call the police. And I can feel that the killer was not an ordinary." Chrysanthemum said.

"About the Dagger that Killer used, I know the name of that Dagger," Georgina said.

"What is it?" Chrysanthemum asks.

"Balarao, A double-edged, leaf-shaped dagger with a finger-fitting grip and a protruding tang. It was used by the Visayans and Mandaya people in pre-colonial times and was a status symbol for warriors and nobility. The Mandaya people still use the balarao today, calling it the bayadau or badao." Georgina said. (source: Wikipedia)

"That's amazing from an attorney who knows some of the mythology," Chrysanthemum said.

"Well, we have a good team if we work this together. An attorney and a vigilante who loves to help innocent people." Georgina said.

"Nah!" Cristy said then she transformed into an owl and she immediately left her friend Gina. But she was thinking about the dagger and who the person behind the mask of the killer why the killer knew that she was Cristy even though the necklace of Gaia changed her appearance.
