Plans
Alysia is in her room, crying her eyes out. Lydia knocks.
Alysia: Go away!!
Lydia: It's me Sisi (silence)
I will come in anyway (opens the door and enters, then locks the door) I saw how you ran upstairs. People thought you were shy or you saw some prince who was trying to woo you and ran away from him. Some even claim to see you in the garden with a prince.
So Sisi, tell me, what made you run
Alysia: (sobs) It's...it's….
Lydia: Common tell me sis. I know I was mad at you, well I still am but I can't stop caring. So please tell me, I'm worried.
Alysia: Duren broke my heart
Lydia: Uh? You saw him? He came? So he was that prince people said they saw you with? (Alysia nods) He broke your heart, how?
Alysia: He said he loves me but loves his wife, Cynthia, more. He also said that he wants to focus on his relationship with his wife and unborn child
Lydia: Cynthia is pregnant for him? (Alysia nods) Wow, they are bonded.
I'm sorry sis. But I told you so
Alysia: (raises her hand in a way of telling Lydia to hug her, Lydia hugs her) I'm just sorry for myself. I fell deeply for someone that doesn't even Love me but just admires me. I made a stupid decision, I even fought with Cynthia for nothing!
I hate myself, Sis, I hate myself (cries loudly)
Lydia: Stop it. (Pats her back) Don't waste your tears for him. You should be glad you got to know on time before the love goes so deep enough to break you down.
It's okay, Sisi.
Alysia: I even turned down Postinur. I insulted him and called him just a ghost!! I made him feel worthless. I...I… (goes into another round of crying)
Lydia: It's okay Sisi. It's all done now. You are heart broken, you have gotten the truth. It's all done. It can't be changed. Just accept it. (Raises Alysia's head) It's okay. At Least you can now look deep into your heart and know what it says
Alysia: My heart says nothing but pain. My heart says nothing but 'im stupid'.
Lydia: No. I mean, look into your heart, search the feelings that you have for Postinur. Do you just like him as a friend?
Alysia: He has always been my best friend, he remains that way
Lydia: No Sisi. You are lying to yourself. You don't want to accept the truth your heart says. Your eyes betray your words.
Alysia: Why are you so keen on me loving Postinur? Why?
Lydia: Because he's the only one meant for you. The only one fit for you
I love you Sisi. So much, more than anything! I won't be seeing you entering into destruction and keep quiet. I can't see you ignoring what's best for you and keeping quiet. I just can't, sisi, I can't!
Alysia: I love you. You are the best sister in the whole world. (Hugs her)
Lydia: So, Do you love him?
Alysia: I don't know. I mean, I like him so much. I can't stand him hating or ignoring me. I feel pain whenever he refuses to talk to me. He's the only one that I can tell personal things to. He advises me and shows great care. I enjoy his company so much. I love his teases and little arguments, even though I pretend not to. I guess, I love him
Lydia: Stupid girl. Not guess, you love him! And I'm excited! (Postinur appears but they didn't notice)
You have to tell him.
Alysia: He is not happy with me now, he won't talk to me. I think he's mad at me.
Postinur: I'm not mad at you. You told me your mind and truth. So why will I be mad?
Lydia: How much did you hear?
Postinur: Hear what? I just came in. And I only heard, "you have to tell him".
Lydia: Oh, that's good
Postinur: Are you hiding something from me?
Lydia: Oh, nothing. Just that Sisi here, wants to tell you something
Postinur: (faces Alysia) What's that Ally
Alysia: I just know now that I have always been deceiving myself. (Postinur becomes confused) I have been lying to myself and ignoring my heart, but not anymore.
I…. Hmm
Lydia: Just say it, don't be scared.
Alysia: (breaths in) I...I love you, Postinur! (Breaths out)
Postinur: (surprised) I'm sorry but did I hear you clearly?
Alysia: Yes. I love you
Postinur: (reveals himself and hugs her) Oh, I love you, I love you so much Aly. I love you. (Kisses her forehead)
Lydia: Such a beautiful love story! (Postinur and Alysia disengage)
Postinur: Let's sit. (They sit on the bed) I am so happy that you reciprocate my feelings, Aly, thank you. (Alysia smiles)
But we got to plan. Things are happening so fast and you are of age already.
Thanatos will be coming soon. He will somehow hear that you are of age and come after you, very soon. So we have to act fast
Lydia: Yes. You are right. Do you have any plans in mind?
Postinur: The spirit detector is there to detect any spirit approaching, the bracelet is there too. I am here to protect you. Kelly will help to protect you when it comes to humans
Lydia: I am here too to help. I have skills. Like reading people's expressions and knowing their thoughts. And I'm great at sneaking without being noticed
Alysia: Don't forget, very good in playing pranks
Lydia: Yes. that too
Postinur: Alright. Alright. You will help too (Alysia and Lydia shriek)
Now. When Thanatos comes, he won't come directly. He will use ways, you have to be alert and careful. You should not talk to people much and don't listen to them either. Try not to trust too much
Alysia: Alright
Postinur: Also Thanatos will want to use your mind. He is great at using people against themselves. You should be mindful
Alysia: I will guide my thinking and reasoning well
Postinur: Good.
I would have loved to involve Kelly, but we don't know him much so we can't trust him yet. We will just let him follow and protect you as he is to do. (The girls nod in approval)
Aly, you are now skilled in combat and fights, right.
Alysia: Yeap. I even feel stronger after the coma
Postinur: That's great. How about the powers?
Alysia: Um, not entirely. I still get my feelings involved with my powers.
Postinur: Don't worry, I will be there to help
Lydia: Great.
What about Aunty and uncle? Shouldn't they be involved with the plans too
Postinur: I have talked with them. And it is best they remain uninvolved in the plans but just advise us. Because, you know, they might get hurt according to the prophecy.
But again, they shouldn't be bothered with anything as Thanatos hasn't come yet
Alysia: You are right. Wise decision
Postinur: Again, Concerning Diana and Cynthia
Alysia: What's our business with them!
Postinur: We have business with them because Diana has taken over Lystra. She killed my mom, took her form and rules Lystra in the form of mom. Duren is already trapped. (Alysia rolls her eyes) Aly, please, at least help for humanity's sake. Think about people under the rule of that goddess, try to imagine the wicked plans that she will have for them. Please Aly, assist me in helping my kingdom
Alysia: Fine, I will
Postinur: Thanks love.
Now to the plans. Cynthia isn't a threat. She has settled for love. her plan was to be with Duren and now she has him, I don't think she will be interested in anything else. Besides, they are good together, so let's leave them. Though I will keep a watch for Cynthia
Now, to Diana, we should find a way to bring her down. Maybe link her with Thanatos so that she will be taken into exile for years.
Lydia: How will we do that?
Postinur: That I don't know yet. We should let destiny take its course. And when things begin to happen, we will have plans concerning that
How do you see it?
Alysia: You are too wise Postinur (claps for him)
Postinur: Thanks smallie (Alysia frowns) hahaha, sorry my smallie (smirks)
Alysia: I give up. I can't argue with you now.
Lydia: (chuckles) Just bear Postinur taunts. He will always tease and taunt you.
(They all laugh)
