"THE CLOCK OF PAST AND FUTURE"
Previously...
Gabriela meets Violet and introduces to her the clock of Dalikmata.
"I'm from the Magic Investigation Bureau, we protect and save ancient relics and things. This is a secret organization. That Black Dragon Organization group is our mortal enemy, they stole some powerful weapon that belongs to the government. One of them is the Kapilan of Lapu-Lapu"
"You need to find this room, where you can find the ancient tool they took from the government, look for the goddess of people suffering from eye diseases, defects, healers, and people with the third sight, "Dalikmata" And they call this Dalikmata's tower clock. Where this could reveal the past." Violet said.
Then Gabriela started her journey to investigate the truth about the disappearance of her father.
The Continuation...
In the room where they put all the ancient things that the organization captures. And Gabriela started her search for the Clock of Dalikmata. She saw everything inside of the room until she saw the tower clock that she was looking for.
"I think this the clock, what Violet told me." She said and she touched the surface of the wooden tower clock then suddenly the clock hour hand started to run fast, then a strange light covered the place.
When she wakes up from the deep light, she suddenly sees her father and Arnulfo.
"Robert, finally you found the last ingredients of the portal where we can go to Hestia," Arnulfo said while they were on their experiments.
"That's because of your research and I want you to put this thing here and..." Robert said and when they put the heart of Hestia, the portal opens and a strong wind suddenly blows.
"Finally, we did it!" Arnulfo said.
"And a strategic moment starts when they tampered with the balance." A voice of a man said, behind Gabriela and she immediately turned around she saw a ghostly man slowly approach her.
"Who are you?" She asks the man. And the lady introduces himself as Kan-Laon.
(Philippine Mythology; Kan-Laon is the name of an ancient Hiligaynon deity. During pre-Hispanic times, the deity was worshiped by the indigenous people as their Supreme ruler. In the Visayan Language, Kan-Laon means "One who is the ruler of Time.)
"My name is Kan-Laon, and I guess you were the rebirth of my friend Lalahon," Kan-Laon said.
"What do you mean?" Gabriela asked perplexed.
"Every twenty years, our souls are looking for worthy humans so as not to break the balance and relationship between people and fairies, even now the technology in the world is so advanced, there are others who believe in us, and this is where our souls live in the world to maintain the balance of mortal world and human world," Kan-laon explains. And suddenly they were stuck on the moment when Gabriela's father Robert shouted and said.
"Stay away from this room Arnulfo. Asked to help quick!" Robert said.
Arnulfo just looked at him still mesmerized by what he saw and slowly approached her father and said at the same time.
"The portal wants you, Robert!" and Robert was shocked at what his friend said.
"What he's doing? You bastard! Help my father!" Gabriela said, but Kan-Laon remind her.
"Remember Gabriela, this is only a scenery of what happened from the past. There's nothing that you can do." Kan-Laon said.
Gabriela saw everything about how Arnulfo betrays his friend Robert. He pushed Robert into the portal, and the portal quickly swallowed him.
"Noooooo!! Father!" Gabriela said and a tear suddenly started to fall on her eyes.
"I want you to see this, Gabriela. Look!" Kan-Laon said while pointing his finger to the black smoke that suddenly emerged from the portal where his father had been swallowed.
"A black smoke?" Gabriela said.
"Yes, that's Sitan's minions," Kan-Laon said and watched seriously on that scene. Slowly the smoke gradually took shape and showed its real form.
While at the Kingdom of Hestia...
The Queen of Aera visits the Kingdom of Hestia.
"Aira is that you?" Prince Xavier said when he saw his old friend.
"No other than," Aira said, and When Samuel saw the queen Aera. He immediately ran towards the Queen and the guards tried to stop him but the queen allowed it and she said.
"It's okay he's, my cousin." The Queen said smiling at her cousin.
Samuel gave him a warm hug and she vowed to the Queen of Aera kingdom.
"How are you, my cousin?" Aira greeted him.
"I'm fine Aira, and we decided to stay here at the kingdom. And where's Liam?" Samuel said.
"Liam is on a mission with the princess of Novaria. This all started when a strange portal opened and we suddenly noticed that our prisoners Manggagaway and Mansisilat." Aira didn't finish on what she said when Robert, Gabriela's father added.
"They escape from their prison because of me."
Robert said.
"Let's stop blaming ourselves for what happened in the past. The important is how we can reshape the future for the new generations." Samuel said.
"Sammy is right, Sir Arnulfo we will do our best to get you home but for now, we can't open a new portal for you. But for now, we need your expertise for this war." Xavier said.
"Whatever you need Xavier and Sammy, the kingdom of Aera will give support on this war," Aira said.
Going back to the tower clock of Dalikmata.
Gabriela saw in her own eyes the revelation of the true form of the black smoke they saw that emerged from the portal after her father was swallowed.
"They are the minions of Sitan and their loyalty is to the god of evil, Sitan. Thier names are, Manggaway and Mansisilat.
Manggaway was named now as Enigma and Mansisilat were named as Mailin. But Mailin decided to stop doing evil things and choose the pathway of light." Kan-Laon said.
"Enigma? I've heard that name before. Not sure where I hear that name" Gabriela said.
"Because that's the woman who possessed Senior Arnulfo to do crime and Enigma slowly poisoned his mind," Kan-Laon said.
"What should I do?" Gabriela asked.
"You are the rebirth of Lalahon and the heart of Hestia will guide you," Kan-Laon said at the same time he touched the necklace of Gabriela, and a dazzling light covered all around.
When Gabriela opened her eyes, she saw the room where all the ancient things that the organization stole from the government as Violet told her.
While at Gabriela and Jasper's house.
"Bro, what happens? What is this emergency all about?" Jan asks his brother. His brother sighed and showed him a strange vine that slowly spread on his arms.
"What is that?" Jan asked his brother.
"This is the mark of death," Jasper replied.
"Mark of what? How did you acquire that?" Jan asked his brother again as he was confused as well about what he saw.
"It's a long story but I wanted to let you know when this poison vine will reach my heart. Please find our mother, I have a strong feeling that our mom was alive." Jasper said.
"No, we will find something and I will ask the Magic Investigation Bureau to find the cure," Jan said.
"I've searched it on the archive and there's no cure for this curse," Jasper said.
"Curse of what? Can you explain to me, Jasper? I'm confused and did Gabriela know about this?" Jasper said.
"No, she just didn't know everything about my condition. And you have to promise me, you won't tell Dad and Gabriela about this mark of death. But one thing I can be so sure, our mom has this curse of Sitan." Jasper said.
"What? how did you know?" Jan asked.
"I saw the past of our father from the Tower clock of Dalikmata, but a long story to tell."
While in a small nation, where Mansisilat was staying and living as a small town's faith healer. And she changed her name to Mailin.
Mailin was trying to heal herself using a leaf, and she put this leaf on her arm where we can see the same mark which is similar to Jasper's. When her assistant approached her and said at the same time.
"Mailin, you have a visitor from another Barrio. What are your names again?" Manang Lucia said her assistant.
The woman replied and introduced their selves as...
"My name is Beam; this is my Aunt Criselda and Liam."
When Mailin turns around, she immediately sees the true form of her visitors.
"They are not from this world. How I can help the prince of Andromeda, The priestess of Novaria, and the princess of Novaria." Mailin said.
"Greetings, Mansisilat!" Beam said and she gave a smile to Mailin.
