Chapter One

As I put my earphones on I start to enter a different world, nakaupo ako at tinatanaw ang mga estudyante na pumapasok sa Sorn Academy the most prestigious school in Royu.

In the world of Nexus it was divided to two land the good and bad. The Land of Royu where demons, demigod, vampires, sorcerers and witches lives and so on and so forth. And the Land of Reveya where deities and fairies lives, obviously it was good and evil right?

Zathrian the god who ruled Nexus handed the two land to Magnar ruler of Royu a demon and to Urion ruler of Reveya a deity. We all live in the 21st century and war is not their thing anymore. People or should I say mythical creatures is now civiled and just live a normal life.

"Everyone please form your line." Isa sa mga guro ang nagsalita sa harap ko. He was tall and a bit pale and I guess he might be a vampire.

I don't get the idea why do we have to go to school if we have powers and all. Pero dahil iba na ang mundo na ginagalawan namin ngayon everything needs to be by the book. Kung di ka susunod sa batas ni Zarthian ilalagay ka niya sa Mundo ng Kawalan. I heard parang isang malaking purgatoryo siya and your powers don't work there. It's like your stuck there forever and then you'll die without even trying.

"Let me present to you Dean Caelum." One of the faculty handed the mic to the new Dean of Sorn. Di maalis ang mga mata ko sa kanyang maamong mukhang. He doesn't really look like a dean since he really look so young at ang gwapo pa niya.

"Good day to all Sornites!" He greeted with a smile.

"I am truly blessed to be chosen as the new Dean of Sorn Academy. I hope everyone would follow the new rules and regulation of the school. Let's help one another to build and obtain a peaceful year for all of us. Thank you!" Pagkatapos ng kanyang speech everyone clapped their hands while some just stare blankly at him.

"What does he mean about new rules?" Tanong ng isang estudyante na nasa tabi ko.

"I don't really get it too, what if magbabago lahat since he came from Reveya." Sagot naman ng isang babae and her answer made me look at the smiling dean.

Taga Reveya siya? Then how did he became a dean in Sorn?

I close my eyes and sigh. I really don't want to be stress out on the first day of school Like seriously?

So instead na makinig ako sa bagong rules na sasabihin ng bagong dean ay umalis na lang ako at umakyat sa rooftop. It was windy at napakatahimik dito sa taas kahit my fear of heights ako ay gustong- gusto ko pa din na pumunta dito.

Tahimik lang ako na nakaupo sa lumang bench na nakaharap sa west wing ng academy kung saan makikita ang palasyo ni Magnar. Napakalaki nito at makikita mo rin kung gaano kaganda ang famous hanging garden niya. Sabi ng mga tao para daw yun sa namayapa niyang kapatid na babae.

I heard a beautiful strummed of guitar at napalingon ako kung saan nanggaling yun. I stood up searching for it then afterwards isang malamig na boses na parang anghel ang kumakanta.

Loving can hurt, loving can hurt sometimes

But it's the only thing that I know

When it gets hard, you know it can get hard sometimes

It is the only thing makes us feel alive

Sinusundan ko lang kung saan nanggagaling yung boses na yun. I keep my steps slow and quite hanggang papalapit ng papalapit yung boses.

We keep this love in a photograph

We made this memory to ourselves

Where our eyes are never closing

Heart never broken

And times forever frozen still

It was so angelic na di ko namamalayan na nakaupo na ako sa sahig as I leaned my back sa poste ng water tank. The scene was so romantic and dreamy though I wasn't a fan of romantic movies. Nasa kalagitnaan na ako ng aking daydreaming as I listen to the mysterious guy when someone ruined it for me.

"And who do you think you are?" Tanong niya sa akin as his eyes scanned me on the floor.

I didn't answered instead tumayo ako at naglakad palayo sa most embarassing scene of my life pero hinatak niya ako pabalik.

"I said who the hell are you?" He look me straight to the eyes with burning passion.

A stupid demon I thought to myself

"Let her go Slayde." Pareho kaming napatingin sa malumanay na boses.

He was a god in a form of demon.

Napakagwapo niya and he doesn't look like a demon to me. Para siyang anghel na nahulog sa langit.

"Seriously Jedrek?" He asked annoyed but I am way too pissed to myself kung bakit di ko naramdaman yung presence niya. Maybe I was too engrossed listening to Jedrek.

"Let go." I hissed and he let me go then I walked away from the scene leaving the two behind

I couldn't care less anyway

"You're stupid Van" Sabi ko sa sarili ko habang pababa ako ng hagdan.
