The Faraway Land 소설 & 이야기

At hindi ko naman alam kung ano ang sasabihin o irereact ko. "Wag kang magalala, iba yung Boundary sa Gate to Heaven kung nagaalala ka, yung mga nasa Boundary ay yung mga taong taga Far Shore lang nagi-stay bago umalis papunta sa ibang mundo," sabi nya na may kasabay na ngiti. "...Far Shore?" nalilito kong tanong.

Napapikit siya ng maramdaman na tila puputok ang ugat niya sa galit. Nook Village is the furthest place from Maleferia Castle. "Natatakot po kaming matunton ang aming kinaroroonan. Nawawalan na po ng pag-asa ang mga mamamayan lalo pa't biglang nagpatong ng malaking buwis ang bagong pamahalaan. Sa'yo na lang po kami kumukuha ng pag-asa, My King. Pakiusap, bumalik ka na po sa Maleferia." Mas yumukod ito sa harapan niya.

Nasa isang private seaplane sila, patungo sa isang kilalang luxury resort sa Maldives—isang paraiso na tila isinadya para sa mga bagong kasal na gaya nila. “Are you okay, love?” bulong ni Dawson habang dinadampi ang labi sa gilid ng kanyang buhok. “You look… distant.” Ngumiti si Farah, pilit ngunit banayad. “I’m fine. Maybe just tired from the wedding yesterday.”

Those fucking trouble-makers are nothing but a bunch of bullies and cowards, preying on innocent villagers. After the expanse of rich farmland, hues of burned shacks behind the thick clouds of smoke are visible from the village portal. Nalibot na niya ang buong isla noong una siyang dumating dito. Isa ang nayon na ito na nagpamangha sa kaniya at ang mga tanawing iniingatan ng kalikasan sa parteng ito ng lupain. The green land rolls like it is an extension of the sea, the sky, and space in between them. As if the place is enclosed of a horizon through the edges. Branches of open landscapes are all natural that human hands cannot imitate.

Pero sa kabila ng takot, natatawa siya dahil kasama niya si David na halatang nasisiyahan sa kanyang mga reaksyon. Pagkatapos ng nakakapagod na rides, naglakad-lakad sila sa paligid ng Far Far Away kingdom, kung saan mas naging relaxed ang vibe. Natuwa si Cherry nang makita ang malaking castle na parang mula sa fairytale. "Ang ganda dito, parang nasa ibang mundo talaga," sabi niya habang kumukuha ng litrato kasama si David.

Pagkatapos marinig ang kwento niya, walang nasabi ang mga Targwyn. Gulat na nagtanong si Zoe, "Kailan pa lumitaw ang isang napakalakas na binata sa Land of Tabal?" "Nagpaliwanag si Laelia, "Ama, hindi siya isang cultivator mula sa Land of Tabal. Nagmula siya sa labas ng mundo natin; nagmula siya sa Earth. Nagpunta siya sa Land of Tabal para maghanap ng pagkain dahil dumaranas ng likas na sakuna ang Earth."

sagot nito at narinig ko ang paglalakad niya palayo. Nang lumingon ako ay wala na si Raven. Maybe he's checking the perimeter. Pero sa tingin ko naman ay hindi na kailangan. Fatum is a kingdom for good land creatures like dwarfs, elves, pixies, wild argoes and chiores. The forests of Fatum are also a home for rare bird and plant species. This is where Phantasm import most of the raw materials and goods. And of course, just like any other kingdom, Fatum also have villages and palace. But their palace is somewhat hidden, since the Goddess of Nature doesn't like mingling with others. As what as my mother told me, there are only few lucky mages who got a glimpse of the beautiful palace of Fatum,

Happy memories was filled with darkness, laughter was replaced by suffering and the smile was replaced by strange sadness. "T-Theo, don't stay away please. Don't leave me, I need you. I can't fight if you're not by my side. I beg you my love. Don't be like this. You said, you will stay by my side and you will not walk away from me like the others. But what happened? Why did you stay away from me? Why did you leave me? Why --- When I already love you, when I already believe in you, when I'm used to your presence then you just leave me and stay away as if nothing happened? You even broke your promise. Why Theo? W-Why? Why!"

Baka pa ito na mismo ang magtaboy sa kanya palayo. She decided to move faraway. Hindi na sapat ang layo niya so she thought she’ll find a place na hindi sakop ng impluwensya nito. It was an exhausting journey for her and her growing child. Marami rin siyang lugar na tinigilan but everything felt like there was someone after her. Hanggang sa makarating siya sa Ormoc at makilala si Rita, the woman who was a runaway like her, who chose to rebel against her family and choose her passion over anything else.
