Kabanata 18: The Real Enemy
Hioner's Point of View
NILAPITAN kong muli si Piora upang alalayan siyang tumayo. Kitang-kita ko ang panginginig ng kaniyang mga tuhod. Masama ito. Bumibigay na ang katawan niya. Ilang minuto mula ngayon ay tuluyan na siyang susuko at mawawalan na ng suporta ang barrier ng academy.
Kung sana'y may mga scroll pa, ay magagawa ko sanang maibalik ang lakas ni Piora, ngunit ang scrolls ay matagal nang naglaho kasabay ng pagkaka-seal kay Colossus. Naging sakripisyo ang mga ito upang mapagtibay ang seal na aming ginawa. Kung mayroon pa mang natitira, iilan na lang ito at mahirap nang hagilapin. Ngunit base sa nakikita ko ngayon, mukhang tuluyan nang nawalan ng bisa ang scrolls at humina na ang seal, kaya madali na lang gumawa ng butas upang malaya nang nakakalabas ang mga halimaw mula sa kaharian ng God of Havoc.
Pero ang tanong, sinong makapangyarihang nilalang ang gumawa ng butas sa seal?

Cassy's Point of ViewNAIKUYOM ko ang kamay ko sa panggigigil. Nangangati ang kamay ko na alisin ang ngisi sa labi ng babaeng nasa harap ko. My guts never failed me.Matagal ko nang iniisip na maaaring isa sa mga kalaban si Lovelace. Magmula noong inatake ako habang pabalik ako galing sa training namin nila Sapphire. Sobrang pamilyar ng apoy na ginamit ng estranghero nang atakihin niya ako. At mas tumibay pa ang hinala ko nang makaharap ko siya sa Weapon Handling.Hindi coincidence ang pagpili ko sa kaniya, sinadya ko iyon para makumpirma ang mga hinala ko."What's with the face? Ganiyan mo ba talaga ako kagustong patayin?" dinilaan nitong muli ang kaniyang ibabang labi. Mas lumaki ang ngisi niya hanggang sa tuluyan na siyang humalakhak. "Huwag kang mag-alala, ganoon din naman ako. Nangangati na ang kamay kong patayin ka!"Nilingon ko si Hioner na ngayon ay tahimik na umiiyak habang nakatingin sa mga palad niya na hawak-hawak kanina ang
Darkness Within Kabanata 20: Dragon of Darkness
Raven's Point of ViewAs soon as I saw a blast of red and black fire soaring up in the sky and coloring it with pitch black, I concluded that Cassy and I were not the only semideus in the academy. I badly want to hurry to the academy but these Colossals and monsters are stopping me. Even though they are not that strong, still, their number is a pain in the ass. Binding and defeating them really consumes my time and mana. Also, they kept on coming. There's no end to them. And if my assumptions are right, someone opened a portal for these foes to pass. And fighting that mage is my primary mission. To kill a plant is to cut its roots."Sorry, but I have to go," I whispered before extending my hands skywards. A huge yellowish magic circle appeared in the dark sky, releasing threads of light that soon coiled around the creatures below it.After doing that, I felt a slight pang on my chest. Dang it, even though I am overflowing
Darkness Within Kabanata 21: The Strength of a Queen
Raven's Point of ViewPAGKALAPAG na pagkalapag ko sa lupa ay bumungad sa akin ang paligid na nababalot ng alikabok. I can't see and feel anything, and this kind of feeling is somewhat not good. It feels like the enemy is just watching me from afar, trying to find a chance to attack and devour me. I hate to admit it, but I somehow appear to be the prey. But too bad, I am a prey that fights until his last breath to defend himself from his predator; a prey that can turn to a predator. One wrong move and I can turn the table on the other side.I was taken aback when a strong blow of wind passed through me. I was about to make a move, but I found myself lying on the ground with an immeasurable pain on my waist. And as I took a look, I saw a big deep wound. Just when did this happen?I followed the direction of the wind and saw the dragon queen-smaller than its latter size. I can't help but to be amazed by its ability to shrink and expand its size. So that's the reaso
Darkness Within Kabanata 22: Clash of Semideus
Cassy's Point of ViewRIGHT in front of my eyes is Lovelace with crimson-kissed hair and eyes. She's wearing a crimson metallic armor covered with dragon scales. On the center of her chest lies a luminous red gem, and there's this fire threads dancing around her. Basing on her semideus form, masasabi kong hindi ko siya basta-bastang masusugatan. Her armor will surely block my attacks. And that will certainly give me a hard time.Napangisi na lang ako bago ako mabalot ng kulay lilang usok. Lumitaw ang malaking magic circle sa aking kinatatayuan kasabay ng pagbulusok ng kulay lilang liwanag sa kalangitan, na nagresulta upang magkumpulan at umikot ang mga ulap sa palibot nito. Kasabay n
Darkness Within Kabanata 23: Over
Cassy's Point of View"Cassy, anong ginagawa natin dito?" tanong ni Alleyn habang sinusundan ako papasok sa loob ng kagubatan."Oo nga, ano nga ba?"' segunda naman ni Cristof."Bakit kaming dalawa lang ang sinama mo? How about Sapphire and Evagne?" tanong ulit ni Alleyn."Just quit asking, okay? I know, may alam kayo kung bakit ko kayo dinala rito," naiirita kong sagot. "I need to confirm my speculations, okay?"Nakahinga ako nang maluwag nang hindi na sila nagtanong pa. Sinundan lang nila ako hanggang sa tuluyan naming narating ang loob ng gubat. Hinarap ko sila at pinameywangan. Kitang-kita ko ang pagtataka sa kanilang mga mata, ngunit naroon din ang curiosity."Alleyn, come here," aya ko sa kaniya. At nang makalapit siya ay bigla kong hinawakan ang magkabila niyang pisngi. "Show your true form, Nixus," bulon
Darkness Within Kabanata 24: Be a Knight
Cassy's Point of ViewA MONTH after the attempt to destroy Phantasm, the kingdom already recovered and has brought back everything to the way it used to be. The academy is back to its good shape, but still, the pain and longing of losing someone is still there. Even the headmaster is in deep sadness, dahilan para hindi ito magpakita sa iilang estudyante na bumalik para sa summer class. Pati na rin ang responsibilidad niya sa Circle of Mages ay napabayaan niya na, leaving the twins, Rasiel and Rasier alone. Sila na lang ngayon ang umaako sa mga responsibilidad at gawaing naiwan nina Gabriel, Piora, at Hioner.Speaking of leaving, Sapphire chose to live by herself. She left without giving us a notice. I dont know where she went, but one thing I am sure of, she left to heal her wounded heart. At wala naman akong tutol sa desisyon niya. If that's what she thinks that is best for her, then, I will support h
Darkness Within Kabanata 25: Forest of Illusion
Cassy's Point of ViewPASALAMAT talaga ang lalaking iyon at hindi ko itinuloy ang pag-atake ko. Pasalamat talaga siya at napigilan ako ni Alleyn at Cristof. "Nakakapagod," naiiling na sambit ni Cristof habang pinupunasan ang pawis niya gaya ng ginagawa ng karamihan sa nakapasa.The first test ended and almost half of the aspirants were kicked out, including the one who attacked me. And now, since most of us are exhausted, unti-unti nang nagpapakita ang tunay nilang kulay."Cassy, I am so happy that you managed to control your temper," nakangiting saad ni Alleyn bago kumuha ng pamunas at pinunasan ang pawis ko sa noo at likod.
Darkness Within Kabanata 26: Survival of the Fittest
CASSYNAKASIMANGOT akong lumabas ng gubat. At for the record, wala akong inatake. Pero hindi ibig sabihin na wala akong sinaktan. Marami. Inatake nila ako kaya dinipensahan ko lang ang sarili ko. Magkaiba ang dalawang bagay na iyon.Nakita kong maraming lumabas na bagsak ang balikat, at alam ko ang dahilan kung bakit.That forest shows an illusion of our hidden secrets. And even though the evaluators are not able to see the illusion, they can still have a glimpse of it through our emotions. Heck, nakakainis. Some knights are surely asking themselves why I, a cold and composed aspirant lost her composure."Cassy!"
