---Sheara’s P.O.V.---

Parang ilang araw na kaming naghuhukay kahit ilang oras pa lang ang nakalipas mula noong nagsimula kami. Ang lupa ay siksik at mabigat, parang ayaw nitong ibigay ang laman na matagal na nitong binabantayan.

Sa bawat hagod ng pala, sa bawat paghukay ng kamay ko kapag may nakakabara, nararamdaman ko ang pananakit ng katawan ko, pero hindi ko ito pinapansin. Wala na kaming oras para magreklamo o magpahinga. Alam kong sa bawat minutong lumilipas, mas lumalapit sila sa amin.

  • A Secretary Affair   Chapter 37 : Unwritten Line

    The scratching sound did not stop. It seeped through every frozen page, every trembling breath, sharp and steady like a blade carving into bone. The ink that dripped from the tower did not fall to the ground. It pooled in mid air, twisting and coiling until it formed a shape that made Clint’s blood run cold. It looked like them. All of them. Mang Karding gripping his bolo, Trev’s mother reaching out, Sheara’s hand still laced tight with his. But their faces were blank, smooth as unmarked paper, and their eyes held nothing but empty void. “You think taking back your mark changes anything?” the voice whispered, now coming from every direction at once. “I have written a thousand versions of this moment. In every single one you break. In every single one you turn on each other just to survive.” Trev slumped against the broken chains, breath ragged but his wrist glowing bright.

  • A Secretary Affair   Chapter 36 : Calm Before The Storm

    Walang nagsalita habang bumababa sila mula sa lumang dambana. The sky was still heavy and bruised, but the rain held off, as if even the weather was waiting for the next blow. Trev walked at the back of the group, his steps slow, his hand rubbing the empty spot on his wrist where the mark used to be. It did not hurt anymore, but it felt like a piece of him had been carved out and left behind. Clint kept glancing at him, his usual eagerness replaced by quiet worry. “We cannot stay here,” he said softly when they reached the edge of the treeline. “Hindi pa tayo handa. Kinuha nito ang pinakamahalagang sandata natin nang hindi natin namamalayan. Kung susugod tayo nang walang plano… tiyak na tatalunin tayo nito.” “Paano tayo maghahanda kung hindi natin alam kung ano ang susunod nitong gagawin?” Mang Karding asked, his grip tight on his bolo. “It took

  • A Secretary Affair   Chapter 35 : Pages That Lie

    Wala silang nakitang gumalaw. Walang sumunod na sigaw o yugyog ng lupa. But that single claw protruding from the sealed stone was enough to freeze every drop of blood in their veins. Trev stepped in front of everyone, blade raised again, but his mother held his arm, her eyes fixed on the faint mark glowing on his wrist. “Wait,” Clint breathed, his voice barely a whisper. “All of this… it never happened.”Everyone turned to him at once. Clint stood rooted to the spot, both hands clutching his head as if it was splitting open. The ancient book lay open on the ground before him, its pages flipping rapidly on their own even though there was no wind. “Ano ang ibig mong sabihin, anak?” Lola Mila asked, stepping closer with worry etched deep on her face. Clint looked up, his eyes wide and terrified. He looked at Trev, then at the claw, then back at the words burning bright

  • A Secretary Affair   Chapter 34 : Weights of The Two Worlds

    Walang gumalaw. Walang nagsalita. Even the wind seemed to hold its breath, as if the whole land was waiting for the answer that would decide its fate. Trev stared up at the Nilamon, then down at the chasm that yawned like a wound between him and everyone he held dear. On one side his father, Lola Mila, Clint, Sheara, Lia every person who had stood by him when no one else would. On the other, his mother, trembling on the edge of the broken shrine, her eyes finally clear, finally seeing him after all these years. “Anak huwag!” his father shouted, voice cracking over the roar of rising shadows. “Huwag mong isakripisyo ang lahat para sa akin!” “Trev listen to me!” Clint yelled, flipping through pages so fast his fingers blurred. “The choice isn’t either or! The scroll said the Keeper’s greatest strength isn’t picking one thing over another it’s carrying everything all at once!” But the Nilamon shifted, and the ground shook harder. Cracked stones rained down from the shrine a

  • A Secretary Affair   Chapter 33 : Shadow That Erases

    Parang humigop ng lahat ng hangin ang boses na iyon. Walang bigat, walang galit, walang damdamin tanging ang matinding gutom na walang katapusan. Ang mga puno sa paligid ay unti-unting naglaho, hindi tinumba o sinunog, kundi parang binura lang sa mismong pag-iral nito. Ang lupa ay naging abo, at ang abo ay naging wala na.Trev pulled everyone close, the blade flaring bright enough to cut through the gloom. “Huwag maghihiwalay! Hawak niyo ang isa’t isa!” Lola Mila stepped beside him, her old dagger drawn, her hands steady for the first time in decades. “It does not fight with claws or fire. It fights by unmaking. It eats memory, hope, warmth… anything that makes you feel alive. The more you fear it, the faster it takes you.” Clint pressed the scroll they had taken tight against his chest while his other hand held his book open, pages trembling but glowing.

  • A Secretary Affair   Chapter 32 : Keeper's Choice

    Ang boses ay hindi galing sa langit, hindi galing sa lupa. Ito ay galing mismo sa loob ng espada, malambot ngunit tumatagos sa buto, parang tinig ng lahat ng mga ninuno na nag-alaga rito sa loob ng libo-libong taon.Lola Mila napatigil, ang mga kadena sa kanyang palad ay nagsimulang manginig at kumupas. “Hindi maaari… sarado na ang mga pintuan. Walang makakausap sa kanila kundi ako.”The words on Clint’s book blazed brighter, burning themselves into the air so everyone could see. Trev felt the blade hum against his grip, no longer pulling or fighting, but inviting him deeper. He stepped forward, keeping his hand outstretched toward her, not as an enemy but as family.“Alam ko kung gaano kabigat ang dala mo Lola,” he said, his voice steady even when his throat tightened. “Alam ko kung gaano karami ang nawala sa iyo. Pero ang paghawak mo sa lahat ng kontrol… hindi iyon magbabalik sa kanila. You are
