Chapter 2: The Dream and The Descent
Lying wounded, Piolo's mind drifted to memories of his family, the very heart of his relentless drive. Poverty had been their relentless companion, but it was the love and dreams they shared that knitted them tightly together. Piolo, the youngest of five, had always felt the weight of his responsibilities, dreaming of a day when their lives would be lifted from the constant struggle for survival.
His sister Siomai, with her bright eyes and brighter mind, represented the future Piolo fought so hard for. Her academic aspirations, a stark contrast to their current reality, fueled Piolo's days and nights. He remembered their last conversation, her voice filled with hope and determination, a stark reminder of what was at stake.
As darkness enveloped him, Piolo's thoughts lingered on Siomai, regret and sorrow mingling with the blood seeping into the ground. He whispered an apology, a silent vow to watch over her from wherever his spirit might find itself.
Then, as the final threads of consciousness slipped away, a miraculous light pierced the darkness. Witnesses gathered, their faces a mix of horror and awe, as the sky above Piolo crackled with energy, a spectacle that defied explanation. Murmurs of fear and fascination filled the air, the moment captured and immortalized through the lens of social media, spreading like wildfire.
Among the chaos, the thief's shadow lingered, unnoticed, a silent observer to the unfolding mystery. Who was this young man, and what powers had conspired to save him from the brink of death? The city of Manila, ever restless, found itself at the edge of an unraveling mystery, with Piolo at its center.
This revised narrative aims to captivate readers by weaving a tale of hope, struggle, and the supernatural, set against the backdrop of Manila's vibrant chaos.
