The Aklan Collegian


The man raised his head. He was carrying a glittering tablet with scriptures that they did not recognize. A quill floated on top of each one's head. He spoke."You are the chosen ones. You are all fortunate but this fortune comes with great responsibilities".

The red quills exploded and turned into red dust which fell to the hands of four of them. "Hold the Phoenix's dust. For some of you, an end will come but a new start will follow and with the dust, you will be remembered through your legacy. To others, this will mark a start full of promise, full of hope, to a place where duties and adventures meet".

The white quill exploded next and turned into white dust which fell to the chest of another man. "Hold the dust of wisdom. Teach the world to value things beyond this life."

The silver quill exploded next and its dust filled the arms of another man. "Take emptiness from their time and filled it with opportunities to attain strength, agility and dexterity."

The green one followed. Its dust fell into the eyes of a woman. "Make them see the world through your eyes. Live with metaphors, inspirations, conquer fears and see the beauty of life."

The blue quill followed suit and its dust fell into the lips of a woman. "Speak of the truth and let it be known to all."

The gold quill exploded and its dust fell into the shoulders of the other two. "The resources are in your hands. Use it wisely, fulfill the mission."

A man carrying a torch stepped forward and blew on it. The place shone. "Come to me, if you need light."
Another one, carrying a scepter followed. "To lead is an honor."

Then the man carrying the tablet laid it down and a blinding light covered them all.
