Kyogra.

The tumultuous climate made it difficult to predict what will happen next. It's sunny day but the heavy rain is pouring, this is the first time I witnessed such thing. I don't know if there's someone controlling the weather or it was the nature after all the happenings was happened.

What will happen after this day?

Looking at the clear blue sky with a touch of some dark clouds——reason why it is raining even the sun is still smiling at us—— makes me feel so kinda overjoyed. Weird isn't it? Knowing Queen Lara is back——I mean the real Queen, his smiles and laughter makes me smile. Way back when Ruthven stole that happiness from him is so excruciating. Staring at Queen Lara's sad face, tears and sufferings made us all suffer too. And that's the time that we promised, that no one will hurt him again. We promised that we won't let Ruthven near him again, but all of it changed after we knew his reasons.

Sound so protective but I don't want our Queen Lara to feel hurt, to feel that excruciating feeling again after he was left by his love one. Nakakapanghina, knowing he did his best just to shelter us with his love and protect us with his all might. At ni hindi man lang namin siya masuklian? Nakakalungkot isipin pero wala kaming nagawa sa mga oras na 'yon dahil alam naming hindi rin siya makikinig, he turned so cold and fierce. He did all the best for us, but we can't do anything to destroy his sadness.

"Share your thoughts, please." Napalingon ako sa babaeng nakangiti na sa akin ngayon, I just looked at her with my cold stares but she wasn't scared or intimidated. Mukhang nasanay na ata sa pakikitungo ko sa lahat ng nandidito.

"Ahm, I just saw you went here so I kinda followed you." I sighed.

"Oh, I just want to tell you that I am so distraught with your brother. He has a sharp tongue unlike you." Nasabi ko nalang, she laughed at that and she sat down right next to me.

We are outside of the towns, where all the green trees are dancing because of the flow of the air. It is not so strong but it is enough to make the trees sway their bodies.

I became misanthrope after that shitty Contro killed my parents but my hope went high after meeting Heraphim, Arakiel's past lover. I don't want to trust anyone again, I don't want to have a relationship with them after I experienced all the hurtful things. But Heraphim taught me to be independent, to fight and become who I am again. I tried, but myself before doesn't want to come back that's why I made this new self of mine. I maybe disappointed Heraphim but my trust for her is still here, so I am still hoping that's she'll appear and correct her mistakes so that I can be with her again. My close and comfort friend.

"Sorry sa Kuya ko ah? Ganoon na talaga siya noon pa, that was his defense mechanism to prevent everyone belittle him." Napatingin ako sa kaniya nang sabihin niya 'yon, belittle? Hindi halata ah? Naranasan niya ang mga 'yon? Talaga?

Leera looked at me with a smile on her lips, she noticed my confusion reactions that's why she chuckled.

"My brother experienced bullying because of his appearance before. He was a nerdy and skeletal, because of being addicted to books ay nakalimutan niya ng atupagin ang sarili niyang kalagayan." She explained. Well I don't care who is he, it really doesn't matter to me.

Tumingin ako sa kalangitan na ngayo'y unti-unti nang nagiging klaro ito.

"You missed, Esterno?" Napapikit nalang ako dahil sa sinabi ni Leera. She is starting to imitate those Serpentes! She is starting to irritates me!

"You're distressed thinking that there is a big possibility that he won't come back. Are you?" Masama ko siyang tinignan sa mga mata pero hindi siya talaga natatakot, she was just idiotically smiling at me. That sweet smile is making me nervous and I don't know why, I hate it the most when I am seeing that kind of smile.

Because he smiled at me like that when he promised me that he'll come back.

Ano? We are the Ruthven and Queen Lara's sequel story? May anak na rin ba siya and there is someone that controlling him kaya hindi na rin siya nakabalik? May anak na siya do'n?

"I don't know Leera, I don't know. Maybe you should stopped listening to Stheno and Euryale's fabricating stories." Nasabi ko nalang at tumayo sa kinakaupuan kong damuhan.

"But maybe you should stop overthinking things, Kyogra. Patience is a virtue, you must know that. If you believe that he will come back, he will come back." Hindi ko na siya pinakinggan pa at lumayo na sa puwesto niya, papalayo sa lupain namin. I don't know but I don't want to go back yet, I want to explore more from the outside.

"Shitty she is, did she think that I'll pity his brother for that? No shitty way. And who is she to tell me not to overthink about that guy?" Inis na bulong ko nalang.

I don't know the time but I noticed that the surroundings are getting heavy, the feeling is like I am carrying the whole atmosphere with me. What's with this place? Teka, kanina pa ba ako naglalakad?

I am starting to feel a weird heat but it's kinda familiar, natigilan ako at napahinto sa paglalakad pero hindi ako nagpatinag at hinanda ang sarili ko. My heart is beating so fast and I don't know the reason why! Why it is beating so fast? Why this heat is giving me something?

"Kyogra." The familiar voice sends shivers down to my spine when I slowly look at my back. My name is starting to sounds so sweet when he is the one who calls me, his mellifluous voices gave me almost heart attacks.

"E-Esterno?" Utal kong tawag sa kaniya, agad may bumara sa lalamunan ko when I saw the familiar blue fire floating in the air. It looks like it is facing me, the tears are now slowly fallin' down to my cheeks. That fire. It is his fire!

The heat of his blue fire is the only heat that I want to feel. His fire is the only fire that I wanted to hug. His fire is the only fire that I wanted to ignite my whole body.

"How are you, my love?" Hinay-hinay akong lumapit sa kaniya even though his physical body is not here.

"You found me, my fire is waiting for you to found me here my love. It's been months, huh?" I may not seeing his pulchritude but his voice is still euphonious, kagaya pa rin ng dati.

"A-Anong ibig mong sabihin, Esterno? You can talk with me with your power? W-Why? Why aren't you still here?" Naguguluhan kong tanong sa kaniya, his blue fire lightened more. He ignited his fire more so that I can see how beautiful his incredible fire.

"Bago ako umuwi, nag-iwan ako ng apoy sa mundong 'to. Apoy na siyang magkokonekta sa atin, Kyogra. Pero hindi ko alam na ang apoy na ito ay naglalakbay ng kaniya, napalayo ito sa lupain ninyo. Lumayo ito sa'yo. Kaya ngayon, hindi mo alam kung gaano ako kasaya na sa wakas ay nakita na kita ngayon." I stopped when he said that. I wiped my tears out and stared at the fire intently.

Kung may makakakita ngayon sa akin, siguro tatawanan nila ako dahil sanay silang makita akong malamig at maldito. Seryoso at hindi nabibiro. Kung may makakakita sa akin, siguro hindi sila makakapaniwala na ganito ako kabaliw kay Esterno. I want him back, I want to touch his face and I want to caress his cheeks. I want to hug him tight and I want to kiss him passionately. I may look like a puppy now but I really want Esterno back! I-I want him back!

Siya lang ang nagparamdam sa akin ng ganito, I even hate all the people not until I met my closest friends. Not until I met him. Hindi ko alam na magiging ganito ako kabaliw sa kaniya, hindi ko alam na mahuhulog ako sa kaniya. Habang tumatagal na hindi ko siya nakikita ay mas lalo ko siyang gustong hagkan at halikan.

I don't like boys. To be honest, they don't attract me. I don't fell in love, I don't entertain boys. I'm cold hearted after what happened before, my past. Pero siya lang. I don't really like men after the hurtful memories but I just like Esterno. No, scratch that! I shitty love him!

"I-I am happy to hear your voice again, E-Esterno. Please comeback now." Pagmamakaawa ko, I heard he laughed na siyang nagpanguso sa akin.

"Kung may makakita sa'yo dito, siguro tatawanan ka nila. Hindi ko alam na miss na miss mo na talaga ako, my love?" I sighed deeply, dito na part talaga ang ayaw ko sa kaniya eh. He is boasting too much! Alam niya kasing once in a blue moon lang akong ganito sa kaniya, alam niyang hindi talaga ako sweet na nilalang kaya tine-take advantage niya ngayon ang pagtrato ko sa kaniya ng ganito!

"Psh! I just miss you, there's no one protecting me here. Helbram is shitty, he loves to insult and irritates me." Sumbong ko sa kaniya, nabigla ako nang sumigaw siya ng malakas.

"Ano?"

"Tsk! You know him? He's with his sister, Leera. I think you are familiar with them. They are from your world, they are from Avalon." I replied.

"Iniinsulto ka at iniinis ng gagong Helbram na 'yon? Tsk! Kaya pala hindi ko sila nakita dito! Avzora is pregnant, her wife. She is worried about his husband's whereabouts tapos malalaman ko na nandiyan siya? What are they doing there by the way? At anong karapatan niyang inisin ka at insultuhin? Ako lang dapat ang gumagawa no'n sa'yo!" He shouted na siyang ikinailing ko nalang, how I miss his irritating voice. How I love watching him like that in front of me.

"Their Mother was originally born here, Esterno. They went here to meet their Mother's siblings, they are Wizards right? Sabi nila, 'yong Father nila is from Sentinyel. Maraming nangyari, at kailangan naming ayusin ang lahat at maghanda." I stated.

"Another chaos huh?" I nodded.

"When will you come back? I m-miss you." Nahihiya kong turan ulit.

"Huwag kang mag-alala, pupunta na ako kaagad diyan. Hindi ko alam kay Zaporah kung babalik ba siya pero mukhang babalik pa naman, nangako 'yon eh. Kyogra, huwag na huwag kang lilingon sa ibang lalaki ah? Ako lang dapat! Ako lang!" I smiled wickedly and nodded.

"Wala akong panahon diyan, Esterno. Alam ko na alam mo ang dahilan kaya huwag kang mag-histerical diyan. Ikaw lang, Esterno. Ikaw lang." I sweetly said to him.

"Stop making that voice, Kyogra. Baka may makarinig, I want you to be like that when we are alone only. Not here, not there. I am here in our school visiting my parents. And please, wait for me my love, I'll be back soonest and I'll kiss you until you blacked out." He maliciously said to me that I almost choke myself because of it. Bibig niya talaga! Minsan hindi ko na talaga alam kung bakit sa kaniya ako na-in love but I think it is because of his protective side? It is his sweetness towards me and cares, his melodious voice makes me relax all the time. I feel like he was my safe space.

I am actually starting to love this place, aside from being away from the crowd, I love this place because it feels like comfy. It feels like I can be myself here, I can show my true self. That no one can dictate and judge me. My new querencia.

"I'll be waiting, Esterno. Siguraduhin mo lang na wala kang anak diyan, ayokong mag-isip ng kung anu-ano tulad ni Reyna Lara when he found out that Ruthven has already a daughter." He stopped in midway but I suddenly heard his deep exhale.

"Mukhang marami na akong dapat alamin, kailangan ko na talagang bumalik. Kung kinakailangan ay dadalhin ko na rin kasama si Zaporah." I nodded and smiled to the blue fire.

"And wait! Don't accuse me such things my love! I don't have any child here! Diba? Sabi ko sa'yo na ikaw lang ang magiging Ina ng mga anak ko? If you are not believing it, wait for me there and I'll impregnate you! You know that it's not impossible right? Maghintay ka diyan!" Naiiling nalang akong natawa sa sigaw niya. Sinakop ko ang distansiya namin ng asul na apoy and I slowly touched it, I felt nothing but a lovely heat. It feels like I was caressing his cheek, his lips and nose.

And yes, I am a bearer too. Like Zora and Queen Lara.

"I am expecting it." I whispered. Narinig ko sa kabila ang marahas nitong paghinga kaya mukhang frustrated ito ngayon. I secretly smiled pero mukhang makikita rin niya 'yon.

"Stop, you're making me hard right now Kyogra." Uminit agad ang mukha ko dahil sa kabastusan niya pero sino ako para pigilan siya? Siya 'yan eh, si Esterno 'yan. An idiot, careless, arrogant and barbaric man whom I love.

"Let's make a baby, Esterno. Naiinggit na ako kay Reyna Lara at Zora."
