We all are tired and I can see that it is already midnight base on how clear the moon is so we will have a few hours of sleep before we can have the battle with Wei and his men which is making me uneasy. Can- can we be able to fight them? For me, I can’t possibly hurt someone I know of. That is going to be my weakness. I slowly get up from that bed leaves I am sleeping at and look at Lana beside me. I gasp seeing Vlash going towards the deserted part of the forest away from where we are. “Where- Where is he going?” I get up and follow him just to see him standing there looking at his hand then he creates a ball of light and aim to a tree but when he fired it, it destroy everything on its way leaving a still burning leaves and branches then completely shatters the tree. “Having a hard time controlling your magic?” I said making him turn and sigh upon seeing me.“It’s destructive and strong. I can’t get to focus and control it.” Vlash said looking at his hands.“Hmmnn why not try clea
I sit up shocked and I touch my check then look at my hand to see blood.“Look sir, she is awake!” one of the Lebron soldier said upon seeing me sits straight.I look at where Wei’s traitor friend is to see him standing there as blood come out of his mouth followed by his body falling in half then a fountain of blood gush out and drops everywhere. I can feel something so hot emerging from within me as I look at the body of Felipo on the floor.“Tie her!” shouted that leader with a scar face. “You- You killed him, he did what you wanted him to do just to save his parents. He did what you wanted him to do.” I utter as this rising anger overcome me.His soldier are about to grab me when Lana stand up and fight those soldiers. Flora, Wei, Leo and Vlash also did the same as they fight those soldiers.“You- You take lives as if it’s just so easy. You could have just let him go. YOU!” I said as I pull my sword and hold it firmly.“Riri, that man is mine. He killed one of my men.... even if F
I open my eyes upon hearing the noisy city like noise. I am so confused and surprised seeing myself standing on the middle of the street in Baguio. I clearly remember those busy streets and stores, those buzzing traffics, those busy people going to where they are headed, and those big commercial buildings. I am just standing on the side walk and I know that I am not mistaken; I am just a few meters away from our University and a few meters near SM mall. “Mommy, look at her clothes. She looks so lovely but weird. She must be cold.” I heard a little boy say as he points at me and look up to his mother as they walk pass me.I look at myself to see that the boy is right. I am wearing the same clothes I am wearing in Evetora and I am soaking wet, even my braided hairs with ribbons and butterfly pin that is made of jewels are soaking wet. I look at my hands to see that my wounds there are gone even the taint of the blood of Vlash. I look at my hips to see my larp bag and my golden sword on
I start to walk towards them while they look at me still confuse as to who I am. I am still wearing that mask and to what I am wearing no wonder anyone of them can’t recognize that it is me. They just look at me as I walk towards them and stop just in front of them.“Long time no see guys, what’s up?” I said changing my voice a little bit.They all look at one another before they look at me again. Somehow I can see that certain confusion and hope into their eyes. I feel so bad and happy seeing them now.“Who are you?” Grace asks making me giggle.“The one you were missing this pass... 2 weeks.” I said still earning a questioning look at them.I am giggling in happiness as I look at them all. It is good to see that they all are well.“It’s good to see you all are fine. I missed you guys... all of you.” I said sounding as sad as I look at them.“Excuse- Excuse me, do- do we know you? I am sorry you must have been mistaken.” Sandra said.They all look at me from my head to my feet with th
I wake up upon hearing someone calling my name and some knockings on the door. I immediately straighten up just to sigh in disappointment. I thought that I will wake up to see that I am in the ground surrounded with grasses just like what I usually wake up to at Evetora, that ME returning home is just a dream. BUT, I wake up to see my room in our apartment. I’m so worried now about Vlash. What have happened to him right when I disappeared? He is alone in that place and he is badly injured all because of me. If I hadn’t been captured, if I am stronger enough to help him and if- if he didn’t use himself as my cushion when we fall, he wouldn’t be so gravely injured. How can I get back? I have to get back as soon as possible. I need to see if he is fine and so is the others.“Riri, are you awake?” I heard someone says as I look towards the door of my room.I sigh before I slide down the bed and walk towards the door then open it revealing one of my brothers. I smile seeing my brother Aaron
I open my eyes just to close it again. When I feel that painful aching in my eyes disappear I slowly open it just to see that I am on a slightly dark cave. I sigh in relief seeing that it is the same to the cave where I left Vlash. I look around me but I see no Vlash. I look at myself to see that I am still wearing my black off shoulder dress paired with my black knee high boots and brown leather jacket that is covering my holster belt. I raise my hand to see that foreign rolled brown leather skin like paper. I unrolled it just to see the map of the Forbidden Land.“I- I have to find Vlash.” I suddenly utter after rolling the map again.I am about to walk out of the cave when I see a shadow of someone coming in. I waited for a few moments so that the light from the cave’s mouth will not burn my eyes. I gasp seeing Vlash coming towards me holding a lifeless bird in a size of a chicken and its colored brownish while blood is falling from its head into the floor. “Vlash!” I utter in surp
I feel as tired as I walk beside Vlash silently. I can still feel how he keeps on glancing at me. We stop for some time to rest and eat then we just silently continue walking. The silence is killing me but I don’t know how to create a conversation with Vlash. I don’t know how he will react if I did.“You are oddly silent. What is on your mind Riri?” I am surprise when Vlash suddenly speaks making me stop and look at him.“I- I don’t know what to say. I thought you are not interested to talk.” I said with burning face as I continue walking beside him.I stop and look at him when I suddenly hear him laugh. For the first time he laughs, I feel like all my doubts, weariness and embarrassment are washed away as I listen to his soothing laughter that resounded to this silent, scary and slightly dark place. “Let down your guard Riri. It is just the two of us. We know each other really well now… since both had a peek into one another’s past. There is no reason we should feel indifferent to ea
I smile and look at him. I can hear the silence as if even the ‘hisets’ wants to hear my answer.“At first yes, like you I don’t want to become a third wheeler errrr someone who will destroy their lovely relationship. I feel nothing now…… not to him at least.” I said as I look at Vlash and see him confusedly looking at me.“What do you mean?” he asks as he looks at me with his light bluish eyes.“Vlash I am young.... innocent to the world of love. My heart and mind always tends to change. I am also not sure to what I am feeling now but.... I can’t afford another heart ache. I need someone who can assure me that I won’t go through another painful one.” I said as I place my hand on my chest to feel my still hard beating heart.“Someone told me before... I just remember now. The one that is meant to be mine holds the greatest responsibility amongst all creatures on Evetora. She wears a shield that I have to breakthrough, a crown that I have to place in her head, and a magic I have to defe
