Semua Bab Darkness Within: Bab 41 - Bab 50

CASSYIT'S been a week after we came to Naian Kingdom to ask for help. And yes, we succeeded. We were able to bring the queen along with us. At hindi lang si Cristof ang natulungan niya. He even helped those who were confined in the infirmary longer than my guardian.And right now, Cristof is still at his room, sleeping. It's the effect of the queen's healing mana. Unlike any other cases where the effect is instant, the queen told us that it will take a week for Cristof to be able to stand on his feet since the poison is too strong. And her healing mana can only revert the rotten tissues and organs gradually.I've also noticed that the queen's treatment to me is colder than it was before. I can even see anger and fear in her eyes, and that left me wondering why. Wala naman akong natatandaang ginawa ko para magkagano'n siya. And when I asked Raven, he said he had no idea.Pero alam ko

CASSYHUMIGPIT ang hawak ni Pierre sa akin. I can still see that he has not fully recovered from shock. His hands are still shaking. Beads of sweat are still rolling from his forehead down to his cheeks. He even gritted his teeth while looking back at the slightly opened door."We must do something, Cassy, we can't leave the kids like this," halos pabulong nitong saad bago itinukod ang kaniyang mga kamay sa kaniyang tuhod. "We need to save them. We can still save them. There are still few alive. And who knows, baka may mga bata pang nakatago sa ibang kuwarto. And the women, they might have suffered the same fate."Hinawakan ko ang balikat niya at tinapik ito. I can feel his strong desire to save his brother's people. Gusto ko rin naman silang iligtas. But it's too risky. Kapag umakto kami ngayon, we will jeopardize not just ourselves, but also the captives.Baka kami pa ang lumabas n

CASSY"ALL HAIL to the new king!"I can't hide my smile as I saw Pierre raised his hands to the people of Phantasm. Him, wearing that crown, is such a view to see. Hindi na ako makapaghintay na baguhin niya ang iilang sistema ng Phantasm. I know he will do so much things that will make this kingdom better.Beside him are the remaining members of the Circle of Mages and the captains of each squad. Mas lumapad ang ngiti ko nang makita ko kung gaano kasaya si Captain habang nakaharap sa amin. She seems to be so proud of herself, unlike before where she feels no confidence at all in facing the mass."People of Phantasm, it's been a week since my brother died," panimula ni Pierre. He told us that he has something important to say, kaya naman ay pinapunta niya kaming lahat dito. "And it's time for me to impose my own rules and laws."Pierre stated all of his plans for the

CASSYTHE FOREST near Daemion overflows with menacing energy. I can feel goosebumps all over my body. The chill that the eerie wind gives me is something I cannot ignore. No one dared to move. Even the slightest movement can be heard.Captain signalled the five teams composed of ten members to scatter. Hindi ko kilala kung sino ang mga kasama ko. There were three girls and six boys. The girls are casters and wielders. While the boys are all middes, holding swords, spears, and bow and arrow as their mediums. We were tasked to take the southern route of the forest.Kami ang reserbang puwersa. If there will be surprise attacks, kami ang agad na susuporta sa mga kasama namin.We hid behind the thick trunks of trees. Hindi ko mapigila ang excitement at gigil na nararamdaman ko. I can't wait to face them. I can't wait to defeat my father with my own power.

CASSYNANG MASIGURO na naming tapos na ang purification kay Lovelace ay inutusan ko sina Alleyn at Cristof na dalhin siya sa palasyo at doon na lang hintayin ang paggising niya. At dahil hindi pa kami sigurado kung nasa panig ba namin siya ay napagdesisyunan naming ilagay muna siya sa piitan sa ilalim ng palasyo.Napatingin ako sa buong paligid. Wala na ang apoy pero kitang-kita ko pa rin ang pinsalang naidulot nito. Napakalaki ng nasunog na parte ng kagubatan. At nasisiguro ko, kapag nakita ito ni Floria ay magagalit siya."Cassy," tawag sa akin ni Raven kasabay ng paghawak sa kamay ko. "Tara na?"Tumango lang ako at nagpahila sa kaniya. Habang naglalakad kami ay pansin ko ang pagtingin sa akin ni Clium. At alam ko kung bakit. Alam kong gusto niya akong tanungin sa naging reaksyon ng katawan ko sa yakap niya, pero maging ako ay wala ring alam.
