Chapter 1: PAST AND PRESENT

Three children are running away inside a dark forest. They can not afford to take rest cause their lives depend on it. Each of them are exhausted, it is because they are also carrying a big wooden cart. One of them pulls and the other two are pushing at the back. Before they ran out of breath suddenly it turns pitch black, they just close their eyes wishing they will not die.
"BEEEP BEEEEEEP!"
They hear a loud noise but they can't move.
Luckily the driver manages to stop the car before it hits the children. He go down and check them. He also found out that the wooden cart contains a baby and his mother hugging him.
He took them home and take care of them.


After 3 days.....
The mother first woke up and she is so amazed on what she is seeing. A big beautiful room full of shiny expensive furniture's.
Distracted when she felt someone is coming, she grab a vase and hides at the back of the door. "BAAM!" She hit a man on the head and he fell down.
Fascinated by the way he dress and his appearance, she looks closely to his face. Then he suddenly woke up and they looked eye to eye.
He touched her face and said,
"You're much prettier when you are awake." he said.
"UWAAAH!" She shouts then hide and closed the door.
Trying to catch her, the door hits his nose. "AW! Ouch! That hurts!"
After few seconds he leaned on the door and speaks softly.
"I know you're afraid, may be because I'm a stranger and you're in a place that you don't know... But please don't be afraid?. I will not do anything bad to you, and don't worry about your children. They are safe." he explained.
Her face light up and she open the door slightly. He smiles and said. "I will take you to their room."

In another room. Her tears almost fell when she saw her children sleeping peacefully. Suddenly the three girls woke up at the same time and hugs their mother. They are all so happy!
"HAHAHA!" The three girls are playing and jumping on the bed, when the man come back and call them. "Come let's eat!" There are many foods at the table and the three jumps on the chairs and started eating with their bare hands. "E-ehemm!" It's their mother with a scary look on her eyes.
He chuckles and said, "It's OK, just wash your hands first and use spoon and fork".
"????" They don't know what is spoon and fork.
"This is spoon and this is fork." he said while pointing to it. But they still don't know even he show them how.
"Hahaha! Just use your hands then. I know all of you are really hungry."

"Sir Charles, your son still don't want to go outside of his room and he barely touched his food again." The maid sadly told him. "Thanks Manang." he is sad to hear it.

"By the way, I'm sorry if I did not introduce myself earlier. My name is Charles Andrei Martinez but you can call me Charles and my sons name is Liel Cedric. He is a bit shy and currently he is still devastated by loosing his mother 3 months ago, so please bare with him."
He look at his wrist watch and notices that he will be late for work. "Got to go now! Just ask Manang if you need anything. Please feel at home"
Just before he got out, the lady walks towards him. She touches his face and lean him closer to her until their foreheads touch then she smiles and said "Thank you so much!"
He kneel at the girls and they did the same thing, after that they said happily. "THANK YOU!"
After Charles left the house,.....
"You all want to help in cleaning the house?" Manang ask.
"YES!" The three girls answers.
"Oh! OK.! Just do what I say." Manang said. Then the girls happily followed Manang.
"Sarah dust the furniture's, Peach help Mr. Chef at the kitchen and Joy help Manong Ben organize the boxes at the storage room." Manang ordered them.

After awhile Sarah is almost done dusting the furniture's but she still wanted to clean all the things up in the big cabinet, the wall frames and the chandelier. She looks around but can't find anything that can help her reach them. Sarah have no choice but to use her super natural power, the power to levitate.

At the storage room.....
a "So here's what you should do Joy. Put all the boxes with same size together and the boxes of fruits from the orchard just pile it up near the entrance. Manong Ben will be here soon, he will help you with the heavy boxes." Manang explains.
"Yes Ma'am!" Joy said.
"I'll just go check on Sarah, I'll be back after few minutes." Manang said then she left Joy to do her work.
"This is so easy! The villagers used to ask me for help in carrying giant rocks heavier than this boxes before!" Joy said to herself.

She started lifting the big boxes with one hand only, as if its nothing heavy inside, then suddenly Manong Ben saw Joy and he can't believe what he is seeing.
"You-Your a monster! Don't come near me! Help! Somebody HELP ME!" Manong Ben shouted.
"Manong don't be afraid of me! I'm not a monster. WAIT COME BACK HERE!" Joy chase after Manong Ben but he stumble on the big pile of boxes that makes them fall over him.
"Oh no! Manong Ben!" Joy cried.

Manang go back inside the house and she found Sarah floating into midair while cleaning the chandelier.
"Sa-Sarah! You-you-your floating!... Uhhhg." then Manang passed out.
"Manang! Manang what happened to you? Someone please help us!" Sarah cried.

At the kitchen.....
"Oh no! We're out of tomatoes!. Peach can you get some tomatoes at the vegetable garden? (Peach already left using her super speed, she find the vegetable garden and pick up some tomatoes then go back after few seconds) Sir Charles like the fruits and vegetables freshly picked so...." Mr. Chef is not yet finished talking when Peach gave him the tomatoes.

"Here are the tomatoes Mr. Chef!" Peach said.
"That was so quick! I'm not even finish with what I'm saying!" Mr. Chef said.

Mr. Chef checked the other ingredients and he found out that he still needs some more vegetables. "Will you go back and get some carrots, potatoes and lettuce..." "OK." Peach run again with super speed leaving Mr. Chef with his mouth wide open. After few seconds she quickly go back but she tripped and hit Mr. Chef while he is still astonished.
"WA-AAAAHHH!" Plates and glasses shatters on the floor.
"What is happening here?" Asked Mina. She is so shocked to see the kitchen in such a mess while Peach is crying and Mr. Chef is lying on the floor unconscious.
"Mama! Manang passed out!" Sarah cried.
"Mama please help Manong Ben he is buried under the heavy boxes!." Joy pleaded.
"WHAT??" Mina shouted.

Charles arrives home and he saw the three girls sitting at the living room and crying.
"Hi girls! I bought some new clothes for you..... Hey? Why are you crying?" He ask.

"Charles you need to know the truth." Mina said seriously. Charles face become serious too.
"OK. Tell me everything I need to know." He said.

"You see..... I'm not a real human, because I'm a fairy and that makes them a half fairy and half human. We came here from the past to run away from the evil creatures that wanted us to be killed! And my husband..... My husband died protecting us!" Mina's tears burst out while telling their story.

My story is special and attractive not just because of the story itself but because of the main characters development and the creatures that appeared in every chapter. Those creatures are inspired from most of the amazing and mysterious creatures from the Philippine Mythology's tales and superstitions that Filipinos held which mostly originated from pre-Hispanic era. I wrote this story as a great step in fulfilling my dream of creating my own manga which will harnessed my skills as an artist and also promotes my countries Mythology and traditions that can still be seen even in this modern era. I started writing this story while I'm still studying in college and its first version was in tagalog. But since I want to share it with our friends from other countries I rewrite it in english. With more details, more character development, longer chapters and better story cover, plus special chapters after every 10 chapters which explains and gives informations about the creature that appeared in the previous chapters. ☆IF YOU LIKE IT, PLEASE HIT RECOMMEND AND TELL ME YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT MY NOVEL AT THE COMMENT SECTION!
