Raven's Point of View
PAGKALAPAG 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
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
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
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
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.
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!"
CASSYTULUYAN na naming narating ang base ng hukbong kinabibilangan namin. I really thought that it's just near the palace, but I was wrong. It's in the middle of a forest! Our base doesn't look like a base. It somehow resembles a mansion-an old white mansion."Welcome to our base, knights!" Pasia announced.Yes, I chose Pasia's squad over the other captains. And surprisingly, there are only four of us who chose to be under her command-me, my guardians, and Raven. And that really caught my attention and got me curious."Oh, ang ganda!" manghang komento ni Cristof. "Mas mukha siyang bahay kesa sa naisip kong hitsura ng isang base."
CASSYRIGHT after we heard about the mission, kaagad kaming naghanda. I don't know, but I got too thrilled to wear an armor while riding a chiore. I feel like I'll look really amazing."Yo, you're Cassy, right?" A woman with a long, black wavy hair approached me. She's wearing an armor, too, so I suppose she's a knight. "I'm Sherie, your senior," pagpapakilala niya nang nakangiti at nilahad ang kamay niya.Tinanggap ko naman ito at sinubukang ngumiti. "I'm Cassy Aguilar, nice to meet you. I hope we can work well as a team.""Speaking of that, sasama ka sa akin. Inutusan ako ni captain na gabayan ka." Tumango
CASSYUNTI-UNTING bumabalik ang malay ko, dahilan upang unti-unti kong maramdaman ang kakaibang atmosphere ng kinaroroonan ko. Amoy na amoy ko rin ang dugo sa hangin. At nang buksan ko ang mga mata ko ay natagpuan ko ang aking sarili sa isang madilim na lugar. Ginamit ko ang mana ko nang sa ganoon ay makita ko kung nasaan ako. At doon, napag-alaman ko na nasa loob ako ng isang kuweba.I tried looking for Sherie but she's nowhere to be found. Tatayo na sana ako para hanapin siya pero napaupo ako kaagad sa kadahilanang nakatali pala ang kamay at paa ko."Damn!" mura ko.I was about to untie myself when I heard a growl, followed by the lighting of the torches around. And
