The Four Elements

Element 25

/Miruh/

Maaga akong nagising para sa training ko. Last day na ngayon ng training at sa buong linggong ito, masasabi kong mas lumakas at gumaling ako. 'Yun nga lang, nami-miss ko na si LynLyn. Nitong mga nakaraang araw kasi, sa sobrang kabusy-han namin, hindi na kami masyadong nakikipag-usap kung kanino.

Saturday - Battle with Ice Waiden Ariveria.

Ayan ang huling training ko ngayong linggo. Bukas kasi may meeting kami kila Miss RK, ano kaya ang pagme-meeting'an namin? Saka kahit ano man yun, tungkulin kong sumunod dahil ako na lang ang natitirang Dalves ngayong henerasyon na ito. I want to continue what my grandparents and parents have done.

I'm willing to do anything for the palace, I'm willing to die for the royal family, just like my parents'. If I'm going to die,I want to die helping others because this is what I'm destined to be.

Kumain ako ng almusal at marami akong nakain. I need to gain more energy to be ready in the battle. Alam kong hindi na madali kalabanin si Pareng Yelo ngayon dahil lahat kami ay lumakas at naging mas maliksi dahil sa training namin. Ayos talaga si Miss RK, those rules and activities she wrote are appropriate and really useful for us.

Nagpunta naman ako sa training basement kung saan naka-assign kami ni Pareng Yelo. Wala pa naman siya kaya naupo muna ako tapos nagsend ng message kay LynLyn. May laban din sila ni VP ngayon. Good luck talaga sa kanya, napakalakas pa naman ni VP. Siya talaga ang bagay na maging kanang kamay ni boss kasi talagang malakas siya. Pasado na nga siyang maging direct descendant ng royal family. Pwede kaming maging magpartner tutal ganun din naman ang mga Ariveria at Dalves, magbestfriend pa nga, e.

Nakarinig naman ako ng beep kaya napatingin ko ang relo ko. Nagreply pala si LynLyn.

From: Katelyn Amanda Ferrer'ver

Nuks! Salamat, ikaw din! :) Bye na, nagiging leader mode na din si Assistant Leader, e.

Hindi na lang ako nagreply dahil baka pagalitan siya ni VP, imba pa naman yun magalit. Nagiging kaugali ni boss.

Bumukas naman ang pinto at pumasok si Pareng Yelo kasama 'yung Snow ba pangalan 'nun? Yun nga ata. Ba't andito ang trainor niya? Akala ko ba lahat ng trainor kasama si Miss RK? Mukhang hindi pala kasi andito siya, e.

Wag mong sabihing silang dalawa ang kalaban ko? Aba'y lugi ako pag-ganun. Dala-dalawa sila tas ako isa lang, 'no.

"Sorry if I were late..."sabi ni Pareng Yelo sa'kin. Tumango na lang ako tapos nilingon si Snow, ayaw ko siyang tawaging ate. Akward 'yun saka hindi naman ako nag-a-ate o kuya sa mas matanda sakin, e.

"Ah, right. She'll be the one who'll be watching our battle. Kailangan kasing may professional na kasama."sabi ni Yelo kaya napa-'Okay.' na lamang ako sa kanya. Pumwesto naman kami sa harapan pero...walang sumugod ni isa sa aming dalawa. Nagtitigan lang kami pero seryosong-seryoso ang aura namin. I'm reactivating my wind element.

'I'll attack him if he'll move any part of his body.' Nabigla naman ako ng marinig ko nang di sadya ang boses ni Ice. How could that be possible? I'm certain that I don't have a mind reading ability at tanging wind element lang ang meron ako dahil kung meron man, malamang nagkaproblema na ako rito. Pero hindi..

"I gave you 5% of my mind ability." That scene suddenly popped in my mind. It was from my trainor, Jaythan.

"I guess he still haven't deactivate it.."I whispered at myself. I start positioning myself well and I moved my right foot to the left, to provoke him. He, then, attacked me but I manage to reverse those water needles using my wind element and he was the one who get hurt. A blood fell but odd thing was, the blood was a clear, pure water. I don't know if it's still called blood.

He cooly went infront of me and stepped on my foot. Ansakit 'nun, ah! Naknang.

I punched him on his stomach and he stepped back. Napasuka naman siya ng dugong---tubig ang kasingkulay. Hindi naman niya ininda ito kasi pinunasan lang niya ang bibig niya at sinipa ako sa mukha. Natilapon ako sa kabilang parte ng training basement at tumama sa pader ang likod ko. Tumayo lang ulit ako tapos kinuha ang stick na nasa may bewang ko lang kanina. Pinaikot ko naman ito at nakagawa ito ng isang malakas na hangin. Tila hinihigop ang lahat ng bagay na andirito.

Napakapit naman si Ice sa lubid na nasa may katabi niya habang si Snow ay tahimik na nagmamasid sa laban namin. Unti-unti din niyang nabibitawan ang lubid, hihigupin na sana ito papasok sa parang tornado nang bigla niyang sinuntok ang braso ko. Nabitawan ko naman ang stick ko at akmang tutusukin niya ako ng mga water needles pero tumalon ako tapos gumulong para kuhanin yung stick. Ngunit bago ako makalapit ay nasipa niya ito palayo kaya napatakbo ako.

Tinuro ko siya gamit ang hintuturo ko, pero may elemental wind na nakapalibot dito. Tinuro din niya ako at may elemental water din na nakapalibot dito. Sabay naman nami itong naitira at bigla namang nagmix ang elemental wind at elemental water dahilan upang makagawa ng isang bagay na hindi ko pa kailanmang nakita.

Isang elemental...dragon

/Ice/

I attack him as he moves his foot, it was my cue. I would attack him when he tried moving but unfortunately, I think he got my tactic. When I shoot him with my water needles, he used his wind element to reverse those needles and I was the one who got hurt.

A blood fell from my arms, which I used as shield, isn't ordinary. Cause it looks like a water. I felt Miruh was amazed from what he saw so I went infront of him cooly, trying to hide my sheepish smiles. Then, I step his foot.

I was almost to form a water substance that has a sharp-edge when he punched me. Damn, that hurts. Napasuka tuloy ako ng dugong--kasingkulay ng tubig. Dugo pa talaga 'yun?

I wiped my mouth and kicked him hard on his face. He was thrown to the other part of the room and got hit on the wall. I'm sure it hurts cause the wall is made of cement.

He just stood up again as if nothing happened and get his stick which is on his waist. He turned it and formed a huge wind. I held at a rope near beneath me and looked at Snow because I got worried about her, but she's just standing there without moving. She made an ice barrier.

Fuck. I lose my tight grip on the rope. I was about to be swallowed inside that tornado 'like' thing when an idea suddenly struck me. I punched his arm which is the reason why the stick fell down, together with me.

I've let out a needle and was going to stab him using it when he jumped and then rolled. He was going to get his stick when I fastly went there and kicked the stick away from him then he ran away.

He pointed his finger at me and an elemental wind was around his finger. I did the same, too. I pointed my finger at him and an elemental water surround my finger. We both shoot it, at the same time and it mixed.

I can't believe of what I saw...

It's an elemental dragon.

Snow suddenly stood up from sitting and broke her barrier. She looked at us and shouted.

"STAY AWAY! I'LL DO SOMETHING! AN ELEMENTAL DRAGON IS HARD FOR YOU TO HANDLE!!"her voice was too loud that we haven't made any choice rather than staying away.

She made an ice ball and throwed it on the elemental dragon. The elementak dragon looked at her and slowly walked towards her. I was worried because that elemental dragon is superior and has an extraordinary strength!

Tutulungan ko na sana siya pero sumigaw siya.

"DON'T YOU DARE HELP ME! I CAN HANDLE THIS!"so I step back.

I was amazed when she throw some blazing ice balls.

But it was useless...the elemental dragon is still up..That's what I thought but I guess I was wrong, really really wrong.

Todo iwas ang dragon.. giba na ang lahat ng gamit na nadadaanan nito.. natamaan din kami kaya napatilapon kaming tatlo pero..

She just froze the whole dragon. Nasa loob ito ng isang malaking yelo na sobrang tibay na kahit pagsamahin pa ng ilang taong gigiba, wala pading silbi. Snow is just the only one who can defroze it.

"Miss Snow, what happened? Narinig ko ang sigaw niyo."Anston suddenly rushed in. Snow just pointed at the elemental dragon while yawning. Anston's jaw clenched and dropped.

"Tapos na ang laba niyo. Anston, ilagay mo yan sa species room."tumango naman si Anston at nagtawag ng kasama para mabuhat yung dragon.

I went back on our room, together with Miruh. Konti lang ang natamo naming sugat kaya okay lang.

I proposed a handshake which he gladly accept.

"Nice week of training, bro."he said then I nodded and smirked.

As I enter inside the room, I saw my sister eating while Katelyn's is asleep with lots of bruises.

"Kuya! May nahuli daw kayong elemental dragon?"Freeze told me as I sat beside her. Eh?

"Ambilis naman ata ng balita. Si Snow ang nakahuli."sabi ni Miruh tapos pumunta sa tabi ni Kae at hinalikan ito sa noo,

"Sinabi lang din sakin ni Anston."I just nodded and the two of us ate our lunch (Miruh and I) when the door opened.

There we saw two people coming inside. One girl and one boy. The girl has no scars while the boy's shirt is ripped, got a lot of bruises and scars. The two of them are Greya and Tredle. Wow? Parang mas lalake pa ata si Greya sa kanilang dalawa.

Cool na pumasok si Greya tapos nagwave kay Tredle sabay ngisi ng pang-asar.

"Sige, salamat sa pagpapahatid ah? Mauna na ako."sarkastikong sabi ni Tredle.

"Oh sure! You're welcome!"Greya answered while laughing. Umalis na si Tredle pero parang nahihirapan siyang maglakad. On the other hand, there was Greya who doesn't even care. She just ate a lot to re-energize.

NARRATOR's.

Nakatulog si Miruh habang yakap-yakap si Katelyn na hangganb ngayon ay hindi padin nagigising. Nag-uusap sina Freeze at Greya habang ginagamot naman ni Ice si Desty na madaming pasa at sugat. Lahat ng iyon ay hiwa ng kutsilyo.

"Sa tingin mo, what is the real agenda behind this training?"tanong ni Freeze kay Greya na kasalukuyang pinapaikot ang ballpen sa kamay nito.

"Hmm. This is to test how far can we stand and to make us all more stronger, superior, powerful, faster and most of all, to knoe the real essence of the Four Elements together with the Supporting Elements. And I think, we were trained because the right time is fast approaching."naguluhan naman sa huling sentence si Freeze. The right time is fast approaching?

Napatango naman si Greya dahil narinig niya si Freeze gamit ang mind reading ability niya. "Right time, a great war will happen. I'm aware of it because I can sense it. This is my unique ability, I can sense if something bad will happen."amazed and shocked, Freeze smiled and nodded at her.

Desty and Ice on the other hand;

"How could you be so kind, Ice?"Desty asked. If you thought they're already in a relationship, well you're all wrong cause they aren't.

"Isn't it obvious, Desty? Can't you feel what I fucking feel?"napataas ng bahagya ang boses ni Ice kaya nagulat si Desty at nasimula nang mainis. Hindi naman narinig nila Freeze at Greya si Ice dahil busy sila sa pag-uusap at medyo malayo ang distansya nila. Both of them (Greya, Freeze) shut their mind ability, too.

"Bakit?! Ano ba ang hindi ko maramdaman? Kasi mahirap ang umasa sa wala Ice! Kung kaibigan lang ang tingin mo sakin, sabihin mo! Kasi masakit! Masakit, Ice! Masakit dito.."tinuro naman ni Desty ang puso niyo. Tumaas din bahagya ang tono ng boses niya pero pumiyok din. May tumulong luha sa mga mata niya kaya nagulat si Ice.

Hinawakan ni Ice ang pisngi ni Desty at hinalikan na ikinagulat ni Desty.

"I don't kiss my friends on the lips, Desty.."Ice whispered.
