Tales of the Supremes 80 TRUTH INSIDE

As the day of the selection came near, the busy city became busier as students and teachers of the school went back and forth to the school.

The sun was already down, but the busy street seemed not to subside.

Kalipsi visited Tala to his residence hoping to see the person he wanted to see.

He touched the wooden doorknob and was going to twist it when he heard faint noises inside.

"Tala!" He unceremoniously went inside only to see five unfamiliar faces that seemed to have bruises on their eyes. His face immediately darkened.

"Who gave you permission to be here?" His tone was low, but it was enough to make the skin of these unfamiliar faces crawl.

One of these unfamiliar faces wore a headband. He gathered his courage to open his mouth. "We... we are here... to... invite Tala as senior Lamig ins..tr...tructed."

Kalipsi smirked remembering the face of the lady they called senior Lamig.

He scanned the room and saw the unorganized things of Tala. His eyes met up the eyes of the unfamiliar faces who immediately lower their heads. "Who the hell messed up this room!" His tone became gravely serious which made the unfamiliar faces shivered their knees.

They simultaneously knelt down and beg for mercy. "We are sorry. We didn't mean to make a mess here. Please forgive us!"

They have been ordered to search anything that can sully the name of Kalipsi through the belongings of Tala. Unfortunately, they haven't even seen any suspicious things.

They begged as if their life depends on it. They knew that they don't have the strength to fight him even of they gang together.

Kalipsi clicked his tongue. He found a seat and sat down. "Clean it up!" He ordered casually.

"Ah.. yes!" These unfamiliar faces heed his order and tidy up the place as fast as they can.

After ten minutes, the place was clean and neat as before.

Kneeling behind Kalipsi, they asked for permission to leave.

Kalipsi didn't face them as he waved his hand; a signal that they should leave immediately.

These unfamiliar faces vanished on the site.

Kalipsi leaned his chin to his right hand as he looked at a certain wall, but his thought was not on the wall.

He didn't know how long he was been thinking, but he was only snapped out to a ring of a bell; the sound of the beginning of the night.

His mind slowly came back from wandering. He lifted his head and was going to stand up when the corner of his eyes caught a figure sitting next to him.

The figure's face was hidden under a hood.

He was startled at first, but after scanning the figure, he recognized him.

"Why are you wearing that inside?" He hastily asked whilst catching his breath.

The figure put down his hood and revealed the face of a braided young man, Tala. "Nothing much," she simply replied.

Kalipsi regained his composure and remembered what his reason for coming. "Why did you just come back?" He crossed his arms.

Tala realized her mistake hearing his words. Though Kalipsi was young, he also knows how to worry about her.

She hasn't talked about where and when will she go, and how long she will be gone. Understanding Kalipsi's worry, she materialized a pouch and hand it to Kalipsi. "I've been concocting that pills. It's called White Spiritual Pills. Pills that can help boost the energy of a spirit."

Whilst she explained the details, Kalipsi opened it and scrutinized it.

It emits pure energy that he hasn't felt before.

Little patches were visible, but the luster of each pill didn't outshine by these patches. Instead, it seemed like to be the unique characteristics of the pills.

He was mesmerized to its energy emitted that his eyes were visibly shining.

He put it back and asked, "What does it do?"

He extended his arms and hand over the pouch.

Tala waved her hands and the pouch vanished. "It will boost the energy of any spirit creature."

'Spirit creature?' Kalipsi light up hearing the words. He remembered the spirit creature guarding the place where he lives. His family was staying there, so, he thought of them and their safety. "Can I ask for one piece of it? If I need to bargain, what can I bargain?"

He knew that if he asks for it, Tala will not be hesitant to give one for him, but he was already given a lot and for Tala to be missing for almost a week, he thought that it took him a great effort to concoct each pill. So, he decided to pay this time.

Tala chuckled. She hasn't thought that Kalipsi will ask her that. "This pill isn't suitable for humans. What do you need it for?"

Kalipsi hurriedly waved his hands saying, "No. It's not for me." He rubbed the back of his head. "I am thinking of giving it to Ani."

He didn't explain much. For sure Tala already deduced what he means by the named Ani.

Tala looked at his eyes and said, "You didn't need to worry about it. Besides, I concocted the pills for Ani." She smiled at him.

Kalipsi surprisingly looked back at her. He couldn't find a word to tell. "For real!?"

Tala gently nodded. "I am thinking of sending it after the selection. If you want, you can see it off."

Kalipsi giggled in excitement. "I will."

"Then, I will notify you."

Kalipsi nodded discernibly.

...

The sun rays brightly illuminated the city, glimmering to every moist leaf of trees.

Loud sounds of bell woke up those sleepy head students.

West side, inside the residence of the ninth cream of the crop, Lamig.

Sitting in a wooden room, Lamig seemed like in a daze.

Knocks resounded on her room but she didn't hear it out, but as the knocks became loud, she snapped out from her wandering mind.

She opened the door only to see the face she hates so much.

The man's curly long green hair lay on his back. With a wrinkled forehead, he asked, "What happened to the thing I ordered you to do?"

Though displeased to his tone, Lamig forcefully crept out a smile. "I will do it during the selection."

"Tsk. You always delay it. I've heard that you've invited Uno for a talked. Don't tell me you didn't achieve a thing."

Lamig avoided his gazed and said, "I will do it on my own." Her voice showed a tinge of annoyance.

Hangin heard her indifference tone. He grabbed her collar and whispered annoyingly, "I think you misunderstood young miss. I'm ordering you!" He didn't loosen his grip as he continued. "I just want to you remember that you aren't in that position without my family's support. If you keep annoying me, I will have no choice but to report you to my father."

Lamig was taken aback. She couldn't believe that her first mistake will escalate that far. She hasn't thought that this young master of her has that grave matter towards Kalipsi that even her future will be affected.

No other way to climb the peak of power, she can only lower her head.

Hangin crept a vicious smile seeing Lamig timidly lower her head. He patted her head. "Good girl."

Lamig wanted to shake her off, but she doesn't have that courage. She let him bragged things that made her felt small and allowed him to order her around like a slave. She went back and forth to her own residence just to follow Hangin's order.

When Hangin left, Lamig went inside her room and throw her body on her bed. She clenched her fist and leaned it hard on her bedsheet.

"I'll definitely remember everything."

Drops of years slowly fell to her eyes. She faced down and let her tears fell.

The room became suddenly gloomy whilst Lamig bewail.
