“Sir Xavier…” “Umalis kayo sa harapan ko! Kapag may nangyari sa kanya dahil sa pagkaantala, sisiguraduhin kong mananagot kayong lahat!” ***** Sa gitna ng nag-uumapaw na ingay, isang galit na sigaw ang dahan-dahang gumigising kay Mayumi Santillan mula sa kawalan ng malay dulot ng car accident na kanyang kinasasangkutan. Pinilit niyang imulat ang mga mata at nakita ang isang pamilyar na pigura na tumatakbo palapit sa kanya, para itong diyos na bumababa mula sa kalangitan. Napuno ng luha ang kanyang mga mata dahil sa galak. Naipit siya sa nakataob na sasakyan, hindi niya alam kung ilang minuto o oras na siyang naroon. Akala niya ay hindi na darating si Xavier. Bago ang aksidente, nagkaroon sila ng pagtatalo. May plano sana silang magkita sa kumpanya noong gabing iyon, pero biglang kinansela iyon ni Xavier matapos makatanggap ng tawag sa telepono kinaumagahan, at simula noon ay hindi na nito sinasagot ang lahat ng tawag niya. Nang mangyari ang aksidente, ginamit niya ang huling natitirang baterya ng kanyang cellphone upang ipaalam kay Xavier ang nangyari sa kanya. Inakala niya, gaya ng dati, na babalewalain na naman nito ang message niya… but he is here now, ready to save him. “Hang on, baby. Daddy is here…” sabi niya habang hinihimas ang umbok sa kanyang tiyan. Napatingin siya sa dugong patuloy na umaagos sa mga binti niya. She is scared, of course, pero konting panahon na lang ay mare-rescue na siya. Nahihilo na siya sa pagkawala ng maraming dugo sa kanyang katawan, pero konting minuto na lang ang hihintayin niya. Gusto niyang sumigaw at tawagin ang pangalan ni Xavier, pero natuyot na ang kanyang lalamunan kaya’t walang tunog na lumalabas.Pero hindi na iyon mahalaga, ang importante ay natagpuan na siya ni Xavier. Marahan niyang inangat ang braso at pilit na kumaway… Ngunit sa kanyang pagkabigla ay nilampasan siya ni Xavier. Ni hindi man lang ito huminto at nagpatuloy sa paglalakad. Naguluhan siya, napagkamalan ba ni Xavier na ibang tao siya? Hindi niya kasi minamaneho ang kotseng pag-aari ng pamilyang Valerio sa araw na iyon. Ginamit iyon ng hipag niya. Ang kotseng dala niya ay regalo ng kanyang ina. Bihira niya iyong gamitin kaya normal lang na hindi ito nakilala ni Xavier. Wala na siyang oras para mag-isip ng kung ano-ano. She tried calling his name to get his attention… pero wala. At dahil sa tuloy-tuloy na pag-agos ng dugo sa kanyang binti, naubos na ang kanyang lakas. Maging ang pagsasalita ay hindi na niya magawa. Hindi siya narinig ni Xavier. Nagpatuloy ito sa paglalakad hanggang sa marating ang puting kotse na naging sanhi ng aksidente. Bago pa man siya makapag-react, binuksan nito ang pinto at kinarga ang isang nanginginig na babae. Ang babae ay nakasuot ng mahabang coat, payat at sopistikada, may nakakabighaning ganda na agad na makukuha ang atensyon ninuman. Nang makita niya ang mukha nito, pakiramdam niya ay nahulog sya sa isang nagyeyelong bangin. The girl is no other than Xavier’s first love… Ysabel Cortez! Bigla niyang naalala kung paano biglang lumiko ang kotseng sakay nito kanina. Hinahabol siya na parang baliw. Ni hindi man lang siya binigyan ng pagkakataong makaiwas. Ang kotse nito ay nasa gilid ng kalsada, samantalang ang sa kanya ay nakataob. Pero bakit parang ito pa ang mukhang kawawa? At ang sarili niyang asawa ay yakap-yakap ang ibang babae, samantalang siya ay halos nag-aagaw-buhay na! Hindi nya lubos maisip kung bakit biglang umuwi ng bansa si Ysabel, ang alam niya ay nasa abroad ang dalaga. At bakit tila nagkataon naman na si Ysabel pa ang bumangga sa sasakyan niya? Iwinaksi niya ang mga naisip. Ang mahalaga ngayon ay ma-rescue siya at ang kanyang anak. Habang pilit niyang kinakatok ang bintana, napansin ng isa sa mga bodyguard ni Xavier ang paggalaw sa loob ng sasakyan niya. Mukhang nakilala nito ang kotseng gamit niya. Muli siyang sumigaw, pero wala pa ring boses na lumalabas sa bibig niya. “Sir, may tao pa po sa loob ng sasakyang iyon!” narinig niyang sigaw ng bodyguard ni Xavier. ***** Napalingon si Xavier Luis Valerio sa kotse na itinuro ng kanyang bodyguard. Ang babaeng nasa loob ay puno ng dugo at patuloy pa sa pagdurugo. Pero sa kabila ng dugong bumabalot sa mukha nito ay tila pamilyar ang babae sa kanya. Natigilan siya, akmang lalapitan ang kabilang kotse, nang biglang umungol sa sakit ang babaeng hawak-hawak niya… si Ysabel Cortez. Bigla siyang nataranta. “Nasugatan si Ysabel! Dalhin natin siya sa ospital!” sigaw niya sa kanyang mga bodyguard. “Pero, sir… paano ang babae sa kabilang kotse?” Hindi na nito tinuloy ang sasabihin dahil sa takot sa kanyang mga titig. Wala itong nagawa kundi sumunod sa utos nya. “Sige po, sir… tara na po sa ospital…” sambit nito. **** Walang habas na tumutulo ang mga luha ni Mayumi. Wala siyang nagawa kundi panoorin si Xavier na sinulyapan lang siya bago muling naglakad pabalik sa kotse nito at buhat-buhat si Ysabel. “Xavier! Iligtas mo ako! Iligtas mo ang anak natin!…” Inubos niya ang buong lakas sa pagsigaw, pero hindi pa rin iyon sapat. Walang kahit sinong pumansin sa kanya. Mabilis na umarangkada ang sasakyan ni Xavier, karga si Ysabel sa loob. Wala na siyang nagawa kundi panoorin habang unti-unting naglalaho ang kotse papunta sa malayo. Pilit niyang nilalabanan ang pag-pikit ng mga mata kahit pa matinding sakit at kirot na ang nararamdaman sa buo niyang katawan. Nang hindi na niya nakayanan, dumilim ang lahat sa paligid at muli siyang nawalan ng malay.Cassandra was ruminating on the balcony of her room, looking at the view around her. The wide blue sea full of ships and boats coming to and fro from many places always mesmerized her. So many people went about their works, continuing their daily lives. But, her life was different. She has been a prisoner for the last five days. She was trapped in this beautifully decorated room like a doll in a case. She repulsed it. Everything around her disgusted her. Any other time, she would have loved to sleep on this feathery bed, smell the salted air of the sea, and gazed at the valley beyond which illuminated with the rays of the morning sun. she missed her home, her simple cot in the precinct of the temple, she missed her father and his pat on her head. Mostly she missed her brother. Throughout her life, she had been an ardent devotee of Athena and Apollo. Why did they do this to her?Karseus visited her every day, drunk and high, and coaxed her into submission. But she stood fix up
Argus moved closer. Selene knew what was coming. Her heart pounded in her throat, echoing through her entire body as she lifted her hand and placed it on the warm expanse of his half-open bare chest to stop him from moving forward.Time stopped and the world shrunk and she was caught up in a moment of wild ecstasy. All reservations broke loose and all limitations cracked when Argus held her close. Hard and quick with strong arms enfolding her, he brought her up against his tall frame as he bent his head. Selene met his lips hungrily, leaving all her shame and embarrassment behind.Their mouth closed and fought, his tongue strong and battling with her. She had him under her hands, her fingers against the warm skin of his neck, the damp fringe of his hair, pulling his chiton open.Argus lifted her and slammed her onto the wall. He swept her into his arms and kissed her soundly. She accepted his command and answered w
Throughout the day Argus worked and trained with the Kraken soldiers. They were known for their brutality with swords. The way they whirled and twirled the piece of the blade was enthralling to watch. They were lethal with flexible bodies and indomitable spirits. Clytus had sent messages all around the kingdom, to all the tribes who honored Karmen to join for the common cause. Many of them arrived with their phalanx and regiments. Argus was revered by all. His capacity and aura initiated a sense of respect among the people. His gravity to tackle every situation, his manners and his compassion for the people of krakens earned him a name. Everyone desired him as their leader. He was a truly worthy heir of Karmen. On one hand, he behaved like a baby when he played with the children of the tribe and on the other hand he was a fierce warrior who gave hardcore back-breaking training. From being a son of a priest, he wolfed into the king that he was destined to be. This was how the Three S
The journey to Corinth began at the first light of dawn. Fabian was equipped with all the necessary paraphernalia. He was still limping a bit. Maybe a day or two and his leg would be fine as before. He has chosen Theseus and two other best Kraken spies: Olus and Hermes, twin brothers. According to the plan, they would reach Corinth and try to know the political situations out there. They would disguise themselves as fishermen and traders and would blend among the Corinthians.Corinth was also known as Ephyra, after the daughter of titan Oceanus, lord of the ocean who was later overthrown by Poseidon. The biggest port of Corinth Magna Graecia was known for having the largest docks in the country. People from Athens, Cyprus, and the Levant arrived in Corinth through that port and set up business and trades. Fabian and his group too would join these bunch of traders and step foot into the city. Then they would manipulate and bribe the sentries and guards of the castle and
