The Little People

Maria Tacloban

The story introduces a family that is struggling to seek for peace

and serenity because of the viscous elves stomping on an old
crib. Due to this, they hired an albularyo to seek solutions as to
how to get rid of this nuisance. As much as they tried to solve the
issue, they decided to develop a win-win relationship for both to
stay harmoniously. The elves became their alarm clocks which in
return they offer them food to show appreciation.

One day, the young girl fell down from a broken Mango tree
branch which caused her ankle to break. Pax, the leader and
oldest of the elf tribe decided to help the young girl to recover fast.
The girl felt the healing sensation and was peculiar about this
certain situation since it is not what she is used to see. Since
then, she thought elves were nice until she met Bat who helped
her when she had difficulty in finishing her Math exam.

They became good friends to each other and wanted it to to be a

secret until Bat confessed his romantic feelings for the young girl.
But then the girl refused because she couldn’t visualize herself
being a princess in the kingdom of elves doing wife duties. She
believes that she is not fit to be in the position. She told Bat that
her parents were angry upon knowing that they had been talking
to each other even though it wasn’t true. Bat was frustrated upon
hearing the news and vanished.
Even though he wasn’t seen by the naked eye, the young girl still
felt his presence and he always appears in her dreams asking for
her to be his wife. Days passed and different tragedies entered
the life of the young girl. Her loved ones were killed one by one
because she broke the trust that Bat gave to her which caused
him to keep a grudge in his heart.

The young girl was devastated and desperate for a solution that is
why she decided to head to meet with Prax and got a spell where
she could eliminate Prax from seeing and controlling her life
forever. She got the spell and successfully recited the following
phrases to finally get rid of Bat. She may have won, but it was too
late for she was the only one left in the family.
