ILUMINA (POV)
I slowly opened my eyes because of the dazzling sun hitting my face. I looked at the clock hanging on the wall of my room.
It was eight o'clock in the morning, so I stretched my body, before going to the bathroom. I took off my knee-length garments, and slowly dipped my body in the milk, surrounded by strange rose baths.
This is what my mother has been doing to me since, I was a child and even now. I still carry it with me, as I grow up.
My mother left me many reminders but there is one that sticks in my mind, that I need to remain a virgin until, I have not seen is what the goddess of the sky has set for me.
That is also one of the reasons why I want to go down to this tower. I want to find the man who is set for me.
While soaking my body in the Milk water, I thought of singing.
Since childhood, my mother has trained my voice, because she says it is one of the most powerful instruments in the world.
I never finished my song because I got up to rinse my body and prepare what I was going to eat.
After I exchanged, I went to my kitchen.
I made a special dish that mom always made when she was alive.
"I remember you again, mother." I sighed sadly with only one breath
"Why did you leave me so fast, mother?" I added that I did not realize that there was hot liquid flowing from my eyes.
I wiped it quickly and continued to do so.
-
Earlier I was wandering around here to find my pet rabbit. Where is he? All I know is that, he likes to go down the tower to play with his fellow animals in the forest.
"He hasn't come home yet?" I wondered to myself.
I just went to my library and read all day.
| LOVE STORIES |
I read the title of the book I chose. Uhm love? The word love seems familiar to me. I slowly opened the first page of the book and read it carefully.
(1) In ancient times a woman blessed by the deity was sent down to earth for a mission. Mission to find the powerful bird in the world of mysteries.
But she discovered another power, this is what everyone calls love. So when Bathala found out what had happened to his disciple he ordered the woman to kill the man she loved and do her mission quickly.
But it seems that the woman of blessed is not agree at all, because for the first time she disobeyed the God she was serving, for the man she loved. So when Bathala found out again, he himself went down and killed the man whom the blessed woman loved.
Because of what happened to her beloved, the blessed woman became angry, she was so angry that she even killed Bathala. So then the blessed woman has been recognized as the goddess of the heaven of all.
To my amazement I finished the first page of the book I had read. So the goddess of heaven was the first woman blessed? She was sent down for a mission but the result was that she fell in love with a landlord?
The story of the goddess of the sky is sad because she lost a loved one. I know it hurts but, even so I still admire her, and courage her.
Even without the one she loves, it's doesn't stop her from giving everyone a good future.
And now that I am her instrument to rebuild the broken world and make it modern, I will never disappoint her.
That's a promise!
I heard a crash outside the library room so I hurried out to look at it. And I am very happy to know that this is my pet rabbit.
"Clover!" I happily called my white rabbit, he happily circled around me so I sat down and picked him up.
"Where are you going again huh? You're a real scolding rabbit." I told him I feel a little bit tickled, when he licked my face.
" What the? Clover!" I shout it, while laughing. He still doesn’t stop me so I could do nothing but use my power.
I waved my hand and floated clover in a bubble. I laughed because he was a poor rabbit at the reaction of his eyes.
"Next time don't be that annoying, Clover. " He just nodded at what I said so I waved my hand again and the bubble disappeared.
"Come on Clover, let's eat ." I said and headed to the dining room while Clover followed behind me.
I was sitting in my chair when suddenly I felt a strange presence at the bottom of my tower. So I got ready as fast as lightning.
I uttered a strange prayer to give protection to my home. I also overheard their conversation below.
"I'm sure there is a lot of treasure inside" I heard an earthling say.
"That's for sure!" One of his companions added.
I just shuddered because I knew, it would be the last day they would see the world on earth, because they would be cast into the burning world because of the sins they were committing.
Simultaneously with the end of my prayer, was also time taking the life of the sinful earthling.
I closed my eyes and prayed fervently in my mind.
"Goddess of heaven, may you cleanse my heart because of what I have done to two sinful creatures, all I want is to protect myself and my home that reminded me my mother."
At the same time, a strange magic was applied to my body, so I slowly opened my eyes and looked up at the sky and paid homage.
"Thank you very much, dear goddess."
