Earth Angel: Meet Garokia

V. Meet GArokia

Its been a while since the three women started their journey to an unknown. Ater their bus "stopped" at a certain point between they are not sure if its San Miguel and Cabanatuan proper, they walked in a common ground, making them think they still is in the civilization, but then after a while, they found themselves heading to a strait road, where the road is surrounded by forest in its right or left wing, it was a long bumpy road, no other house nor establishment to regard this as a civilization can be seen, but there is this power that makes them continue their journey along this road, and this power is overwhelming for the three women that they cannot resist it...as if by fate, they have to travel this land.

Nobody could tell what time is it nor day it was, all they know is that it has been dark since the day they met, if RAven is right, it could have been 3 days since that day. Hannah on the other hand have no intention of knowing, she just wanted to go on, there is this feeling inside her, that she somehow know where to go, and she knows what to expect. Zalta is just tugging along, being with powerful humans made her feel a bit like a human too, maybe she just missed the opportunity to be human for her evil father have taken it away from her....maybe the very reason why she killed Oslak, though just a part of her is human,is its desire of coming out is much stronger than her demoness, she thought so far....but to others? she still is a demon...a demon who kills demon .

It's the 4th day of their journey, they have procure food from the forest, most are fruits from the trees it have, sometimes they kill wild animals for meat, and Zalta do most of the killing, Raven don't dare kill animals for her power of talking to them, Hannah is not so skilled in doing so...they leave that part to Zalta. In a way, the three women get closer, and closer each days that past, although Zalta and Hannah still can't stop the blickering, it never mellowed and most of the time it results to race on air, or sometimes to the point of hurting themselves, its good that raven is always there to pacify both. Hannah just love teasing Zalta and make her angry, Zalta on the other hand, being a demon have short temper, and is easily angered.

They thought its been along walk from where they started, they have been walking now atleast for 6 days, and still there was no sign of other human life, nor civilization
"I saw a nearby hill" said Raven, as she used her power to see in the distance, she lifted her right arm...a large monkey eating eagle suddenly flew right into it and landed in her forearm, "I've just learned to use eagle to amplify my power" she then looked at the eagle,"eagle friend, fly up and search for the place, search for a city or something." she told the eagle, the eagle look at her and as if it nodded in agreement then flew away
"Wow!" exclaimed hannah, "i'm at your service highness!!!!!" teased her
"I've just learned that" then raven giggles
"Can you read minds?" ask Zalta who is squatting on the ground in front of a trunk of a big old accacia tree, "can you ha?"
"Yes"
"Read mine." dared Zalta
"I cant"
"How come?" Zalta still
"I don't know. I've been trying since the day i entered the bus, i've been reading other people's mind in the bus except Hannah, the reason why i look at her, then when you came....i can't read yours too"
"But you paid my fare, i did not told you that"
"I can even tell your not paying, and yet i dont read mind....with youir look....you will pass for a "good for nothing, cheap woman" if you really are a woman!" butt Hannah, teasing Zalta
"You!!!!!!!!!!cow face!" Zalta bolted up from her place and grab Hannah by her shirt
"Okay stop it, Hannah! stop teasing!" cried Raven, "but then Zalta.....hannah has a point" she then looked at Zalta smiling
"What point? that i'm a good for nothing cheap woman.....or man?" Zalta's voice sound irritated
"No" she shook her head in disagreement, "I just look at your expression and i know your not gonna pay....probably you dont have money"
"Im a demon what you expect? we dont use money down there....we steal, its a teaching!" Zalta then shrug her shoulder then went back to her accacia tree, "Your eagle is taking time" said Zalta with a sound of boredom

In about 5 minutes or so, aproximated time, the eagle went back, Raven stood from a rock she was seated and raised her arm, the eagle landed and made sounds, deafening to the other two women.
"The eagle saw a large city, surronded by walls, near here, the eagle offered to guide us, we can fly our way there." Raven broke to the gang
"Finally!!!!! a destination!" zalta exclaimed
"What are we waiting for? lets fly!" hannah

The three women flew, with the guide of the eagle, they flew to the city, a walled city...

The wall was large, it was gigantic, as if it was made to stop intruders of gigantic stature, or perhaps gigantic strength. They landed in front of the city, the gate was close, in an eye range, there is a small window, just fit to peek in and out of the city. Zalta, being the agressive one peeked in, she saw the city
"It's an altar. Its no city....its like a very big altar made for i dont know what" Zalta told the other two
"I thought your eagle says its a city?" it was hannah
"A city have people always, Altars don't have...maybe there are people inside thats why the eagle said so" defended raven
"There is one way to know if there is or none? isn't it?" Zalta looked at Hannah and Raven mischievously, the other girls get it, "This is too gigantic for me"
"I'll help" volunteered Hannah

The two women went far from the gate, Zalta gathered her fire power into her hand and made a ball of fire in between her two palms facing each other, she rolled a fire ball as big as big beach ball, Hannah on the other hand held both hand on her side with her palms facing the sky, and gathered her magnetic energy, and form an energy balls on both her palm the size of a basket ball...the two were ready to hit the gate when Raven stopped them
"wait......we can't break down this gate...if it is a city they made efforts in building this"
The two subsided
"So what is your plan missy?" sarcastically ask by Zalta
"Theres a rope here that is connected to a bell up there?" Raven pointed out the rope first then looked up and pointed the bell
"your a sorceress.....uses head more than powers eh?" it was hannah, "maybe your the real charmed ones and not phoebe, paige nor piper?"
"Fool!" shouted Zalta, "its a series asshole"
"I know i'm just teasing....cheap!"
"Asshole"
"old boggin"
"Im not a boggin!"
"STOP!" raven shouted, "Can we please just ring the bell?"
"After you missy." Zalta made a"you go first" gesture, as if letting a princess pass in front of her
Raven pull the bell once, it roared like that you hear in a church
"That bell gives me a headache!" cried Zalta
Hannah smile, mischievously...."Rangggggggggggg!" hannah pulled the rope again, "Rannnnnnnnnnnnngggggggg" and again, and again
"Stop it hannah!" raven shouted
"You cow face!" shouted Zalta as she is holding on to her ears to cover it, kneeling down as if something terrible is happening in her body. She felt the pain hearing the bell is much painful then when she is injured by the demons
"It really hurts?" said Hannah, her voice low, serious, "Sorry, i thought you were bluffing."
"Why do you have to think i always bluff?" shouted Zalta
"Sorry" Hannah's mouth is pouting

The conversation stopped when the gigantic gate opened, and men surrounded it with spears and arrows in their hands, ready to fight

"It is a city....for real!" Zalta exclaimed as she rose on her feet
Then Hannah looked up at the center of the city, a curved wood she saw that says "The Winged City: Garokia"

"Hello" the three women smiled
