Rizal In Another World Part 3

Something caught the attention of Rizal, something in the corner piled together with rusty swords in a wooden box, something is like calling him.

When he approached it, he was surprise when he hears a voice "over here" the mysterious voice said.

"What! Hello is somebody there" Rizal replied.

"Here!" the mysterious voice says again.

"Where are you?" Rizal asked, and when he looked down at the box one of the rusty swords was shining.

"What is going on, why is it glowing." In Rizal's mind, and when Rizal picked the shining sword, he asked the sword "are you the one, who was speaking?"

To which the sword replies "yes, that was me, I am Bathala king of the swords, and I am forge from the shattered piece of Anglao"

"What! You are one of the fragments!?" Rizal shouted, caught the attention of Makiling.

"Rizal what is happening there?" Makiling asked.

"Nothing! Makiling I just saw some rat" Rizal replied.

"Shhhh! Don't be too loud." Bathala says to Rizal.

"I felt your presence when you enter the store, I noticed you possess some of Parsua's power" Bathala stated.

"Maybe you are talking about the items Parsua gave to me." Rizal's replied.

"Good, now buy me and bring me with you, I was stuck here to long that rust cover me to hide my power so Buni's fragment can't find me and destroy me." Bathala explained.

"Parsua must have sent you to the nearest fragment that can help you in your mission" Bathala further explained.

"Now take me, and buy me." Bathala says to Rizal.

Rizal took Bathala and brought him to Makiling to buy the sword.

"Got any you want to buy?" Makiling asked Rizal.

"Yes, I would like to buys this sword." Rizal says.

"What! you want to buy this rusty sword?" Makiling shockingly asked Rizal.

"I know that you don't have any money, but you can throw that trash away and choose better sword there and I can pay for it." Makiling suggested to Rizal.

"What! What do you mean trash! And throw come here you woman, so I can throw you" Bathala angrily says to Makiling.

To which Rizal says "no, would like to buy this one, And I'll pay you for borrowing money to buy this sword".

"No, you don't need to pay for that, you can have it for free, I'm going to throw it anyway" the store owner says.

"What! What do you mean throw, saying it like I'm a trash, this old man and that woman should I Slice them in pieces" Bathala angrily shouted.

"Oh really, thank you so much then sir" Rizal replied to the store owner.

"Well, it's your choice, wait for me outside then I'll just finish purchasing this and we can go." Makiling says to Rizal.

Outside Rizal asked Bathala "so no one can hear you other than me then?"

To which Bathala replies "yes, as we have connection because of the god fragments"

"So, you and the others who may have the fragments can also hear you?" Rizal asked.

"Yes, not only that I can also feel if others fragments are near us" Bathala explained.

"That's helpful then, we are not going to have a hard time looking for them." Rizal says.

"Yes, but I can also say's the same about Buni's fragment" Bathala says to Rizal.

"Is that the reason why you covered yourself in rust?" Rizal asked Bathala.

Before Bathala can answer Makiling comes out and called for Rizal "Rizal lets go".

While walking Makiling asked Rizal why he choose to be adventurer to which Rizal replies "There is something I must do."

Makiling looked at Rizal and says "Rizal I will give you some money as a thanks, enough for you to use for a few days and to pay for an Inn to stay, it was brief and short but I think here is we part ways."

Makiling further explained that as a Babaylan she has a duty and a job to finish, and that Rizal has also a duty the is different to hers that Rizal must fulfill.

Rizal agrees at Makiling's statement, that although it is fast and brief there time together were happy and parting ways both felt sad.

"Makiling thanks for your help and everything you have done for me. May you have a safe and healthy life." Rizal says to Makiling.

"You too Rizal, thank you for saving me I won't forget it if we ever meet again don't be shy to talk to me, we are friends now." Makiling replies to Rizal.

After the two finished saying their goodbye to each other, they separated but before they can get far away to each other.

  Makiling shouts calling Rizal, saying "Rizal! I forgot to teach you one thing, how we Encanto's say good bye to each other, you must always say when saying farewell is, MAY BUNI'S GRACE BE WITH YOU!!".

At that moment Rizal stood still, shocked, and confuse for he, cannot believe what he just heard, Makiling praise Buni the god of destruction and chaos, Rizal walk slowly looking at his surroundings.

Realizing that because of his amazement at the city and everything he saw he did not notice that every one of the Encanto's he passed by and met.

Were, wearing a necklace with a pendant of a god that only his half left can be seen, as Rizal walked slowly still shocked, he reached a fountain and when he looked at the fountain.

He saw a statue made of gold a statue that is made in honor of the god Buni,

Shocked Rizal run fast outside of the city knowing that he is inside the city of the enemy.

Panting and catching his breath Rizal says "did you know Bathala?"

"Yes, that is why I cover myself in rust, and that's why I don't like them" Bathala answered.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Rizal asked Bathala.

"Rizal, I want you to notice it yourself, I want you to learn how can someone be blind when they think they were in the right place and how someone can be easily deceived by the people who lead them." Bathala explained to Rizal.

"But you should know this, those Encanto's are innocent, they just blind of the truth, because that is what their leader wanted them to see, he is using the wealth and power he has to cover the dark, corrupted and dirty truth with a glorious lie." Bathala tells to Rizal.

"That is really the reason why you are summon here, to help them open their eyes and see the truth, to help find what is right and to throw away what is false, to inspire them and to give them hope." Bathala further tells to Rizal.

"This city has been corrupted long time ago, their leader their king, he promised prosperity and peace by conquering other country, by instilling endless war, by purging the people that goes against him. Their king, King Agudayaw." Bathala still explaining.

When Rizal finally speaks, he asked if the people are really just being deceive to where Bathala said "yes". He also explains more and tell more to Rizal.

But reminded Rizal that even if he tried to fight nor try to save the citizen, it will just be an empty effort as he is weak.

"You should train, and I will train being a sword I have been use by many strong Encanto's" Bathala says to Rizal.

He also says that he is not only going to teach Rizal in the way of the sword but also in using the items Parsua gave to Rizal.

So, both of them have gone to the forest near the city and there Bathala, began to trained Rizal.

At the forest Bathala tells Rizal, that he should try pouring magic to Bathala to remove the rust and reveal the true form of Bathala.

Bathala is magical sword which transform to a sword most suitable for the wielder.

When Rizal pour magic to Bathala the rust was remove and Bathala shine, when Bathala finally done transforming, he turned into a cutlass.

The blade is a single edge like katana, with wings as handguard and a pummel in shape of eagle head.

A weapon Rizal is familiar as he once study fencing back in his world though it's a different type of sword it still familiar to him.

"Let's begin, and let me remind you I won't be gently and soft in your training" Bathala says to Rizal.

"Yes, I understand "Rizal answered, and with everything ready, they started their training, to prepare Rizal to the battle he would have to face.

In the first month they did a physical and stamina training, they did these until Rizal is ready to train in the way of the sword and magic.

And time went pass half year later when Rizal started to train, they finally came out of the forest.
