•Niamh's POV•|
Hingal na hingal na naglalakad ako papasok sa isang malaking puting kastilyo. Every Reapers and Licht bloods are busy in this years. Kakagaling ko lang sa pag sama sa pagsundo sa mga namatay.
It's a heavy task for now, dahil mas madaming death eaters ang nag silabasan. I need to clean all of this blood stains in my whole body.
Napatigil ako nang makita ko ang mga death Grimm Reapers. Kakatapos lang siguro ng isamg bakbakan, kaya mag susundo nanaman sila.
It's a time where wars, and colonization are very crucial. Many people are dying, women, children, men, even animals. Ang aking kinababahala lang, mas madami ang mga killer souls.This is not the end yet, hindi pa nagaganap ang first world war. And We know that there will be a second one. That's why the whole Licht Society is in alert mode. I feel bad for the innocent.
War has a great relationship with death, ganun din ang ibang mga Disasters. Kaya alam namin kung kailan, o paano mag kakaroon.
"Cassimira will never be the same now. Kahit pinanganak ulit siyang Licht, puwedeng patay na siya dahil sa mga espanyol ngayon."
I shrugged aggressively, then I take a glimpse of my hand full of my ex lover's blood. Hindi man siya ang nag sabi ng mga salitang binitawan kanina, sakaniya naman ang mga dugong na sa kamay ko. Yes, he is a High-class rebel, and any wound won't kill him. But, it's still his blood.
I saw a glimpse of white horse at my life side eye. Agad akong tumigil nang tumigil ang kabayong iyon. Dahan dahan akong tumango, at nag bigay galang sa kakababa lang.
He is Grand Master Amadues. The head of the Licht Clan and Society.
"I see, you still got in trouble?" Nakangiting bungad niya saakin.
The horse suddenly disappear. That's normal here in Licht Society.
Humugot ako ng malalim na hininga.
"Nakalaban ko ang Voodoo Rebel. Kasama niya ang Time Puppet Rebel." I stated.
"What's new? Madaming namatay, of course they will be there for souls." Natatawang sabi niya sabay kibit balikat.
"No it's not, Master." Malamig na sabi ko sakaniya, at ipinakita ang kaliwang kamay ko.
Unlike my right hand, walang galos ng dugo ang kaliwang kamay ko. Pinalitaw ko ang barahang alam kong pamolyar sakaniya. It's an Ace of Heart.
Napakurap ng ilang ulit si Master Amadues sa gulat. "Let's walk." He said.
Nag umpisa na ulit akong mag lakad, kasama naman ngayon si Master Amadues.
"Let me see." Sabi niya, at sa ilang iglap lang ay napunta na sa kamay niya ang barahang hawak niya. It's not a magic trick, but it's an inborn power on us.
"Do you think, she is dead?" Tanong niya saakin.
Dahan dahan akong tumango tango bilang tugon. Many people are dying, so there is a big chance that she is dead. Kahit na na reincarnate siya bilamg isang Licht.
Humugot ng mallaim na hininga si Master Amadues. But then, he smiled and gave me a relaxing look. "It's not new, Niamh. We can't have her until 2020. We should be great full at least. Ten deaths to go."
Bago pa ako makapag salita, nawala na siya. Master Amadues really love surprises.
Ten deaths to go huh? That's still painful.
We are called, the Licht Clan. Kami ang namamahala sa mga namamatay, simula sa pinaka maliit na uri ng mga nilalang, hanggang sa pinaka malaki.— Except fo the titans, sinumpa sila ng dating head ng Licht Clan dahil sa mga makasariling mga gawain nila. They're sleeping on the earth's surface. Until the day of judgement—
Pinamumunuhan ang Licht Society ng pitong mag kakapatid. Ang una ay si Master Amadues, the oldest. Siya ang namumuno sa buong Licht Clan.
Ang mga Licht ang mga namumuno sa buong Licht Society. Nabubuo ang Licht Clan, dahil sa mga fallen angels na gustong mag balik loob. Nabubuo naman ang Licht Society dahil sa mga manggagawa nito, grimm Reapers, souls, and many more death-living. Siyempre nag tatarabaho sila sa mga branch ng Death. Yes, death have many branch.
FIRST, is the Grim Reapers. Pinamumunuhan ito ni master Israel, the second son.
Grim Reapers were born, because of humans committing suicide. Their souls will become grim Reapers since they are capable of getting their own life. Suicide came from the different touch of life, but it's a very harsh tragedy when the reason is because of illness. Depression, to be specific. Sometimes suicidal souls can pick if they want to rest, or they wish to fulfill the duty.
If they will rest, their souls will put into sleep, then another death flower will bloom. That death flower will soon produce a nectar. That nectar soon will became a honey, and that honey is given to a suicide soul that is belongs to a child.
If they accept the duty, then a Grim Reaper will born.
Grimm Reapers was naturally known for their black cloak and death scythe, but an appearance of a Grimm Reapers, has a corresponding meaning about their ranks. Emotions and feelings are also not forgiven.
May tatlong level ang mga Grimm Reapers. The first one is the Black Grim Reapers. Black Grimm Reapers, has a duty to fetch One million souls. Plain black cloating ang damit nila, and the weapons of thier choice. It can be a sword, bow, daggers, Scythe, and etc. Humans, animals, and any other living. This is the stage called, "getting to know death." Magkakaroon sila ng goal dito na makakuha ng One million souls, after that they will proceed to the next rank. Again, emotions and feelings will never exist.
After getting one million souls, next,
Second stage, of being a grimm Reaper, is the Senior Grimm Reaper. This is the stage where Grimm Reapers have to fetch and guide killer souls. Ito iyong mga tao o nilalang na pumapatay ng mga kauri nila. Mga nangunguha ng buhay ng may buhay, mga inosenteng buhay. They need to fetch ten thousand killer souls. In order to reach the third. Again, emotions and feelings will never exist.
After getting ten thousand killer souls, a present from master Israel will be granted. Be a peaceful soul, or continue your duty as a Death Grimm Reaper.
Death Grimm Reapers will be granted a great power. They're wearing a black cloack, and carrying the weapons of their choice. But not enough to surpass a power of a Licht. Puwede silang mamili, ng trabaho nila sa mga iba pang branch ng Licht Society. They can be a mentor or guide for those black grimm reapers. They can be one of the mentors, or any more. But the duty to fetch souls, is strictly need to follow. Sa stage na din na ito, puwede nang magkaroon ng emotion ang mga Death Grimm Reaper, kasama ang alala nila noong mabubuhay pa sila.
SECOND on the branch, is the Reception. Si Master Juan ang may hawak sa branch na ito. Dito pinapainom ang mga yumao ng water of death. Kapag nainom nila iyon, ganap na multo na sila. Mga taga Licht clan ang nag tatrabaho dito.
Their main duty is to welcome souls. Dito pinapakita sa mga bagaong patay pa lang kung ano ang mangyayari sakaniya.
Pagkatapos nilang kausapin ang mga kaluluwa, they will be given a drink, called drink of memories. Souls will be given 40 days to roam the human world. And the rest of it, is to join the light, and wait for the judgement. Their souls will be kept in a tree called, tree of life. Masama ka man, mabait, sanggol, hayop, o ano man. Your soul will be sent there asleep, and you will be awake in the time of judgement. Gagana lang ang drink of memories, kapag natulog ka na. Trabaho ng inumin na ito, na patulugin ka at kalimutan pan samantala ang mga nangyari saiyo.
Those suicide victims have to drink the drink of memories too. In order to forget their feelings, emotions, and memories.
Kaunti man ang trabaho ng mga receptionist sa Licht Society, ito pa rin ang pinaka importante sa lahat. Their job is to calm down a soul. Kapag hindi nila magagawa iton, kukunin sila ng mga death eaters.
THIRD is the Task Makers. Pinamumunuhan ito ni Master Quiad. Sila ang nag aayos ng mga task ng lahat ng branch ng Licht Society. From Grimm Reapers, to trainees, lahat sila ay may mga task na susundin. At sila ang nag aayos din noon.
Nasa ilalim din ng pamumuno ni Master Quiad ang three sisters of life. Wala silang mga pangalan. Tanging si Master Quiad lang ang nakakaalam nito. Those sisters has only one job, that is to cut the thread of a living being, to end it's life.
Task makers may be simples, hindi mo sila maloloko. They know what is a fake task or a real task. So, watch out.
THIRD, is the Protectors. Master Enoch/General Enoch, siya ang namumuno dito. Just like the power angels, they're the warriors of the Licht Society. Puwede silamh sumama sa mga grimm reapers, para protektanan ang mga kaluluwa. Puwede din silang maging guwardya dito sa bawat sulok at paligid ng Licht Society. The protectors is always present in fighting. Though, everyone in the clan knows how to fight, but as long as it's not necessary to fight, protectors will carry on the work.
Protectors also have an ability to heal, silabang laging nasasabak sa labanan, kaya dapat ay marunong silang gamutin ang sarili nila. May mga Protectors din naman na tinatawag na Healing Unit, dito nakikita ang mga protectors na master ang kakahayan ng pag gamot.
Kung satingin niyong labanan lang ang alam ng mga Protectors, no it's not. They're a bunch of geniuses. Making battle tactics, potions, and many more. Nag i-imbestiga din sila sa mga bawat disgrasyang nangyayari sa Licht Society, o sa pag sundo.
LAST AND FOURTH is Developing Unit. Dito sinasanay ang lahat ng mga manggagawa ng Licht Society. Master Edmond/General Edmond is in charge and the leader of this pack. Simula sa mga Grimm Reapers, hanggang ss mga protectors.
Knowledge, wisdom, fighting skills, and discipline. Dito sila sinasanay. Hanggang sa maging perfect sila para sa magiging trabaho nila.
We all started in zero, the Licht Clan or Society also starts into zero. If not, a seed won't grow into a beautiful tree.
This is how the branches work. Hindi man sila detailed, but it will help us to guide into the next book of Cassimira.
We may face death, but death is not the end. Until the judgement, came.
It's not the start, it's not the end. But I hope, it will be a magnificent story that will lead to a satisfaction.
How about me? I am once a living before. I am a former Nymph, living in greece, serving the nature. Yes, Nymphs exist. But, all duties can change. Nang mamatay ako, hinikayat ako ni Master Edmond na maging kasama sa Licht Society, that's why I am here.
If before, I serve the Nature, now, death has my service.
"Senior Niamh!" Napatingin ako sa biglang nag salita. It's Kai, one of the captains of the Protectors.
"YUKO!" Biglang sigaw ko nang makita ko na ang mga mangyayari.
Hindi na ba ako makakapag pahinga? Agad kong pinalitaw ang pana ko.
Agad akong umasinta at masayang natamaan ko naman ang death eater na papalapit sana saakin.
"Close the gates, papasukin ng mabilis ang mga kaluluwa! Move!" Agad na utos ko kay Kai.
"Puno ang reception area." Kinakabahamg sabi niya.
"Just do it!" Sigaw ko na lang.
I look up in the sky, and saw a familiar figure. It's the rebels.
Rebels or death eaters, they're the same. Their main goals is to get souls, and eat it for power.
Nagmamadali akong lumipad pataas, para kumalaban ng mga death eaters. Unti unti akong naglaho sa paningin ng mga death eaters.
I started to kill them, without blood, using a potion that attached in my body. It's an old tactic that Cassimira did. This is the last bottle, so this will be the last time that I will use it.
Kada hawakan ko ang mga death eaters na ito, maamoy nila ang lason sa katawan ko. Dahilan ito ng unti unting paglaho nilang lahat.
"What a scent." Natigilan ako, nang biglang may yumakap saakin mula sa likod.
Even though it's just a hand, i know who's hand it is.
Alam kong nakikita na ako ng mga death eaters, nawala na din ang lason dahil kay Harou.
"Immortal pest!" Galit an sigaw ko at nag pakawala ng mga halaman gamit ang kamay niya. Dahilan ng pag butas ng kamay niya, at unti unting pag hiwa ng mga halaman sa braso at kamay nito.
Natigilan siya ng bahagya, pero mukhang ako ang natigilan. Nawala na ang mga halaman, at unti unting bumalik sa dati ang kamay at braso niya.
"Niamh." Nakangiting tawag niya saakin. Lalapit sana siya saakin pero sinaksak ko siya gamit ang mga halaman na lumabas sa kamay ko.
Natamaan ang puso niya. But, he is an immortal. Any wound of him, won't affect. It's a curse, but looks like it's a pleasure for him.
"Enough! Where is Cassimira!?" Natigilan ako sa biglang nag salita, at napalingon ako sa nagsalita.
"The Time puppet Rebel."
