Xaria's P. O. V.

"WE are one..." 

     Pabulong niyang sabi at halos hindi ko maikurap ang mata ko habang nakatitig sa mata nitong kulay kahel at sa labing nagsasalita.

"I am Ashanti Deirov, the creator of the cursed wall, and you are living because of my cursed. You are the punishment I bestowed upon this world."

"You are the child of Stygians....."

      Ni pagkuyom ng aking kamao ay hindi ko magawa. Ang dugo at sugat na meron sa akin ay pinapahina ako.

        I looked at everyone through my pheripheral vision. I need to stay alive for them.

"It was still incomplete, I see," bumalik ang tuon ko kay Ashanti, nakatitig siya sa akin.

"You needed to die Xaria, that way, the ten generals inside of you would be free together with my half."

    I was fused with anger. I felt my eyebrow twitch.

"H-half?"

        I wanted to erase the smirk on her face. Diableries hunger wouldn't be sated because they summoned a wrong creature.

"I am your shadow Xaria Lin Menoa, you are my other half."

        Lumunok ako, ang panginginig at takot sa akin ay biglang nawala. Ngumisi ako sa kanya.

"You're weird,"

     I am a monster. Am I?

  I've always been asking myself if what was the thing that I always lose whenever I kill magical beast? Am I still the person I know after I wake up?

    I gained the power even know it's from the darkness, I have no choice, this world doesn't give me choice.

"If I die, you'll die with me."

Ngumisi ako sa kanya, If she's my demos and I killed her, I'll die, on the other hand if she killed me, she'll also die.

               We are one but I know it's not really the case. 

   After I got the ten generals, it's as if they become my shadow.... I'll still survive if I killed her...

    Pero nangunot ang noo ko nang tumawa siya at ngumisi sa akin na tila nababasa niya ang naiisip ko. 

"That's not true. If I killed you Xaria Lin Menoa, the sealed will be gone."

         Hindi ako makapaniwalang napatitig sa kanya. Kumibot nang bahagya ang labi ko.

"W-what do you mean?"

"You're the key to the past as well as the seal. The rage inside you is the decay that will broke the seal."

       Kumuyom ang kamao ko at nakaramdam ako ng tuwa sa puso dahil alam kong kontrolado niya ang buong katawan ko. Ramdam ko ang pagtagas ng dugo mula sa sarili kong kamao, ang kaninang pamamanhid ko ay napalitan muli ng sakit at hapdi mula sa mga sugat ko.

"Do you understand now, Xaria Lin Menoa? You needed to die. That way, Eckhlais memories will be free."

Hinawakan niya ang pisngi ko dahilan ng pagtayuan ng mga balahibo ko.

       Nakangisi siya, at ang ngisi niya ang dahilan ng galit ko ngayon. She's my shadow, yet she's the reason why every year, hundreds and thousands of infants were being fed to those monsters.

   All because of her beloved who die.

"I'll never forgive selfish people like you..."

    Mariin na at nanginginig ang boses ko at madilim na paningin ko.

     Stygians who eat innocent childrens are my power. I am a monster, there's no doubt I am the curse. Wala akong karapatan mabuhay.

    But the only thing that keeps me alive is to protect, and I need to protect my family. I need to do the right, even just this time.

"I'm so sorry, I can't die."

    Nawala ang ngisi niya nang makita niya ang duguang palad ko na humawak nang mariin sa braso niya. Nanlalaki ang mata niya, larawan ito ng gulat dahil hindi niya maipaliwanag ang nangyayari.

    I am being controlled by her but how comes I can touch her without her order?

     Nagtama ang mata namin. Walang buhay ang mata ko habang gulat ang sa kanya.

"I am a survivor."

          The day that I survived in the forest, I already decided that I'll destroy my fate. I'll continue to live even people around me is telling me to die.

     Naramdaman ko ang pagyanig ng lupa at pang-iinit ng mata ko, ang mata ni Ashanti ay nagmistulang salamin at nakita ko ang sarili kong anyo na nagbabago. Ang kulay putik kong mata ay nagiging pula kasabay ng itim na ugat na tila gumagapang sa mukha ko.

"Migara..."

       Migara, the stygians of wrath,the one who lead millions of stygians before to create a war against the living and the dead.

     Nakita ko ang itim na usok na unti-unting gumapagapang, ang duguan kong palad ay nanginginig na kumumpas kung nasaan si Ashanti.

"For once, vanish from my sight."

   Bulong ko sa hangin at kita ko ang pagsakop ng dilim dito at paghiyaw niya sa sakit. Ang buong paligid ay nayanig, ang establisyamento na kinatatayuan namin ay tuluyan nang nasira.

     I'll be a survivor till I die. I can't be killed, for I am the killer. And if ever I'll die---

"I won't die alone Ashanti, you're going to be my tour guide in hell." sambit ko at ngumisi.
