There are gardens lined near the walls were cabbages, berries, and carrots grow. There were children on the garden, growing the crops. They were laughing as they touched the ground and the berries grow slowly. Their eyes gleamed with happiness, enjoying what they do.
"We are helping the kids control their power here" Kebin said again. "We are helping them reached their full potential. Pikem is a sanctuary for our kind where we don't have to hide who we are. In here, you are what you are".
Serra's lips stretched into a smile.
"Look!" Sisi gasped and looked above.

The sword landed on the old man's hand like he was holding a magnet.Serra then quickly jumped back and lifted her hand; golden flame danced on her palm. Kebin also stepped back, surprised.Then suddenly the old man's skin started to change. The old skin were peeled off into golden flakes which fell to the ground and vanished into thin air. His skin became thicker and pale; the veins were now concealed. His beard burned away in golden flame leaving no trace on his face. His long hair was also gone, trimmed to a wavy blonde cut. His deep gray eyes were now full and alive, the color of the sun like hers.Serra was shocked as she stared at the ancient one. He wasn't an old man now but a handsome man with thick black brows, chiseled cheek bones, nice jaw, and a pair of golden eyes. He was so handsome and looked like just a normal human

Serra glanced at Mira and found her smiling. She came to her friend."That was fun" Mira smiled."I remembered watching your father doing this," Serra said. "It looks easy when you're only watching" she chuckled.Mira only smiled faintly, her eyes became sad as she remembers her parents. Serra bit her lips and feel sorry. Sometimes she hates herself for that, speaking without thinking."You may now rest chosen one" Gwyn came to Serra. Her skin sizzled with sweat. "Thank you".Serra gave her a hopeful smile and nodded. Then they stalked out from the blacksmith house......They were

Sirka Village (few months ago)..."Look!" Serra pointed above. "A bird. Can you see that?"Haris laughs and stared at the bird-shaped clouds that floats in the sky."Yes. Haha. And there!" he pointed beside the bird-shaped cloud. "That's a weird shape. It looks like a dog cut into pieces".They both laughed.They were lying down on the grass, watching the infinite blue sky. The tall tree gave them shade and the pleasant sound of the river near them was solemn and placid.Serra just finished working at the fields and Haris took a quick break from the construction. Mira was in their cabin, resting because she's not feeling well.

"I only loved Mira because you asked me to! I tried to love her but it was always you my heart wants. I only agreed because I love you and I will do everything to make you happy even if it means hurting myself. But this has to stop Serra".The world suddenly shuts and all she could feel was pain. No, it wasn't pain. It was worse than pain, even worse than death. The words were like poisoned arrows, hitting her hard on the chest.Haris was crying while he was saying those words to Serra. His tone was serious and deep. He never heard Haris talked so serious before, until now.Mira's body became numb. She can't feel herself. She didn't notice the big drops of tears streaking down on her cheeks. She could hear the loud beat of heart and her ragged breathing. A lump rises on her throat as t

Serra was walking alone, kicking some rocks on her path. She never felt this lonely before. Now, it's like the world turned away from her also.It's been two days since Mira avoided her.

What could she do, she deserves it.She attempted many times to try and talk to her but Mira would always walk away.It was painful. It was a torture. She spent the two days crying in regret and self blaming.The others of course noticed and it shocked them but good thing they never asked why.Mira stayed with Nysel's cabin and Rena came with her.

They immediately climbed down and ran towards the Captain's house. Sisi stopped by on the boy's cabin to informed them.It took Serra a minute to reach the cabin with a ragged breathing. Her throat dried from running and Danika was behind her.When they got there, Nysel was standing on the table along with other winged Badbloods who look exhausted with their droopy brown eyes. Serra recognized them, they're the ones Nysel sent to watch the villages."There's still no signs of attack" a winged woman said, her wings were a mixture of brown and red color with feathers so shiny and beautiful. "We scouted the area overnight but didn't see any Badbloods.""That is because the attack will not happen there" Serra interrupted and stepped forwa
Badblood 19.2 Familiar Walls
The travel was rough as the road. On the first light, they already met a dozen of Reapers but Gwyn got rid of them with her arrows whose tips were melted from heavenly fire.The wagons forms a long line like a train. Inside was a small lamp that gives enough light for everyone inside to see.The sound of the wheels against the ground was somehow pleasing to hear. Serra find comfort on the sound of crickets, the wind gushing on the tree branches, the squeaks of the birds, and the whispers of the lost souls in the woods.Nysel would sometimes go out and fly, constantly checking the perimeter. She would fly down and alert everyone if a Reaper was seen in the distance.On the first day of travel, Serra was silent. She sat beside Sisi and stared whole day at the wagon floor. But her mi

Her expression lighten and she's clearly surprised to see Serra.Is she happy to see her? Has she changed?Serra wanted badly to think of that but the painful memory fills her heart.They were staring at each other for a minute before Rila spoke and looked away."Go away or we will shoot again!" Rila announced. Her voice was strong and full of authority.
