"Paano? How did that happen?"
Vowel told me the whole story, from us being the first creation, my mom, Luzzi, who I thought was my real mom, is the hidden creation, Queen, Kimberlite, who I thought was our grandparent is the dark creation, Eeyone, Demen Anne's ex-lover and who I thought is Vowel's twin, is the light creation and him being Aeiou Eaie.
"Hindi ko alam dahil nung panahon na nasa kamay ka ng mga Demen ay wala na akong balita sa iyo, except sa part na binigay ko sayo yung susi ng Corpse City. That was the last time I saw you tapos nakita nalang kita na nasa isla ni Queen." paliwanag niya.
"Paano mo ako nahanap at naibigay sa akin ang susi?" nakakunot-noong tanong ko. Hindi ko pa rin kasi naiintindihan. I think my life is a whole piece of lie.
"We have this thing called sense link and wonpein. Sense link means I can link all of my senses to you and you can also link all of your senses to me. Ibig sabihin lahat ng makikita, mahahawakan, maririnig, masisinghot at malalasahan mo ay makikita, mahahawakan, maririnig, masisinghot at malalasahan ko rin. I used that to find you and to control you pero hindi na naulit iyon kasi nilagyan ako ni Queen ng isang proteksyon na parang kinokontrol yung mahika ko. Wonpein is like we share the pain you or I feel. Example, kapag nasuntok ka nang kung sino man, mahahati sa ating dalawa yung sakit, mafefeel ko rin na nasuntok ako." paliwanag ulit niya. Hindi pa man ako nakapagsalita ay may sinabi na siya.
"Bumalik ang dalawang iyon ng makita kita ulit. The moment I laid my eyes on you melted the protection the Queen gave to me. Simula noong mga oras na iyon, nactivate na ang sense link and wonpein natin."
"Tell me. Bakit ganon ang reaksyon mo nung malaman mong puso ako ng Dementia? Bakit ganon ang galit mo nung nalaman mong may misyon tayong kailangang gawin para kay Queen?" tanong ko.
"Hindi ko alam na itinuring ka nilang puso nila. Kung tutuusin, lahat ng sinabi ko sayo tungkol sa akin when we were in Queen's island, ay hindi totoo." tugon niya.
"So, you lied to me?" medyo tumaas ang boses ko sa nalaman ko.
"I didn't lie, okay. Alam ko kasing binabantayan tayo ni Queen sa oras na iyon. She has a lot of eyes in that island, literally. Kung doon ko man sinabi sa iyo ang lahat ng totoo tungkol sa akin ay malamang hindi na tayo makakapunta pa dito." sagot niya sa akin.
"Tell me now then. Who really are you? Who am I? Who are we? " seryosong tanong ko sa kanya. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang dapat maramdaman ko ngayon. Magagalit? Malulungkot? Hindi ko alam pero nalilito ako sa dami ng impormasyon na isinaksak sa aking utak.
Nagbugtong hininga muna siya bago sumagot.
"My name is Aeiou Eaie. You are Sync Hyss. We are the first creation. I am supposed to be the ruler of Croatiania and you, the ruler of Dementia, but things messed up and ended up being told to be the heart of Croatiania and Dementia. No, you are not my first-degree cousin. Eeyone is not my twin, but he is our brother. He looks exactly like me, except that he looks darker and he has a different hair style. Luzzi is also our sister. She really looks like you before but due to the absence of power and immortality, she is now older, and she will continue getting older. Kimberlite, the Queen, is our evil sister. She doesn't look like you or me or Eeyone or Luzzi, but she looks like the younger girl version of Lord Syzygy and a little look older than us, but we are technically older. Five of us had the same powers at first, but Kimberlite is greedy and get a hold of Eeyone and Luzzi's power. It means, she is three times stronger than us. She has a power that only her, Skyme and Anne can use. It's travelling back in time, predicting time and changing it. But, she got greedier and got a hold also of Anne's powers. It makes that power of her two times stronger than Skyme. Now, I know what she's up to."
"Ano iyon?"
"She's trying to get both of our powers."
"What do you mean?"
"Love. Iyon ang nagiisang kapangyarihan na hindi niya makakamit. And she will use us to take a hold of that thing and that will make her unbeatable. Iyon ang akala niya, pero hindi iyon mangyayari."
"Kasi hindi nananakaw ang pag-ibig."
"Tama ka. Hinding-hindi niya makukuha sa atin iyon. And when she finds that out sooner, it might be the end of everything except us."
"Except us?"
"Hindi niya tayo masisira. Alam niya iyon dahil siya mismo ang nagsabi sa atin. She can destroy and end everything but us. We are the first creation afterall, she was just mistakenly made by Lord Syzygy."
"Pero paano niya nasira si Eeyone and Luzzi?"
"She stole the keys that holds the fate of their lives and powers."
"So, she can also take our keys?"
"Yes, but that won't happen."
"Bakit?"
"Lord Syzygy has our keys."
"And she knows about this?"
"Yes. Pero akala niya when she got love from us ay pwede na niyang kalabanin si Lord Syzygy para sa dalawang susi. She doesn't understand the concept of love."
"But she managed to tell me all about love nung nasa isla tayo."
"That's all she knows. She doen't know how deep it is."
"My head is aching from all the informations I received."
Lumapit siya sa akin at hinalikan ang ulo ko. Hinihimas niya ang aking buhok habang sinandal ang aking ulo sa kanyang dibdib.
"I'm sorry for that. I don't know kung ano ang ginawa sa iyo ni Kimberlite at nakalimutan mo lahat, but I am kinda grateful kasi at least you won't exactly remember the past and the pain."
"It's unfair. You remembered the pain and that leaves you scars. Tell me, how can I heal it?"
"I'm okay. As long as you are alright, I am okay."
Hindi ko na siya sinagot at kusa nalang akong gumalaw para bigyan siya ng halik. This may not lessen the scars but it's to let him know that he is not going to be alone again. That starting from now, I will be in his side. I'm not going to leave him again. That I'm not going to forget him again. That I love him no matter what.
