The SAPULAGOY Series
A SHORT STORYTELLING A LIE
It has been 4
years since Mother Nature’s enthralling awakening of kokorokoko of the
wanderers’ foretold destiny. This time the wandering Sagoys were fulfilling yet
another imminent prophecy; a prophecy of immense adventure, chilly intense
pleasure and tummy pounding adversity. This is the story of how these wanderers
hustled treacherous steeps, defy forces of nature, effortlessly endeavored
language barriers, threw up, shitted on random targets and conquered Luzon’s
most infamous peak. This is the
SAPULAGOY series.
CHAPTER I
The Mystical Whispers of the Mountains
On the night of
May 2nd, 2013, while everything else was contained by the hushing
cold night, a momentous gathering of the wanderers took place by the shoulder
of the serene Mt. Kanlaon. It was a celebration to express their gratitude to
the endowing mother for another year of their socialite existence. Gathered
around the fire, all heard were stories, laughs and giggles. Until a gaseous
blast broke and banged the serenity of the mountain. It was but her majesty
after all. The enchanted sabaw init fairy revealed her might from the elixir’s
bottle and forcefully possessed the alluring mortal form of kokorokoko.
Bewitched by her majesty’s presence the wanderers gazed as she enlightened them
with these words: “Oh mischievous wanderers of the scorched land. For thy
chaste valiance brought thy feet to my kingdom. It is only fair, that I shall
bestow upon thee the privilege of a glimpse of thy odds.”On that very moment a
new prophecy was revealed before them. And on their shoulders were rested a
responsibility all of them were bound to fulfill. And it was also then that the
queen of the enchanted Mount Pulag expressed her longing for the wanderers to
visit her mighty realm, softly whispering these mystifying words: “On the day
when the children of the pearl rise above the drowning seas and the horns of
the bull slit his own covers, soldiers will shepherd thee to the land of White
Sea.”
The ever glamorous
wanderers confidently accepted their fate and gathered all their strength and
resources at once. They acquire all classy gears they can find both locally and
superlocally, spending all their riches and fortunes thinking their arrival at
the mystical realm would be a red carpet one. And for hundreds of dusks and
dawns they waited for the right moment when a flock of steel winged eagles flies
north. And on June 9, 2014, just as they thought the odds will never be in
their favor, steel winged eagles started appearing in the sky and their long
awaited epic journey began.
