Chapter 43: The Meridean
With my hair softly touching my face, wavering endlessly as if a magnetic force was controlling its lightness and sending tickles to my skin, I woke up feeling a bit nauseous and head aching.
Hindi ko kaagad naimulat ang mga mata, ngunit ramdam ko ang kakaibang sensasiyon sa paligid sa tuwing kumikilos ako. I felt my body heavy like every move I'd make was a struggle. It seemed that I was restricted from moving any further.
Pati ang paghinga ko'y kakaiba at may mga lumulukob na hindi pangkaraniwang tunog sa aking paligid.
I don't know if it was just my mind and hearing senses playing with me, but I heard faint sounds of something or someone swimming underwater. I was trying my best to open my eyes, yet it seemed like I was too weak to even control opening my lids.
Dahil wala pa ako sa tamang huwisyo, napagpasiyahan kong magpahinga ulit at ikalma ang sarili.
Seconds passed and the spirit of lethargy v
Chapter 44: Falling Kingdom Mabilis kaming lumangoy papalabas ng aiding section nang mas lumakas pa ang pagyanig na aming nararamdaman sa paligid. "Hold on tight." Tross took my hand and pulled me to swim even faster. Naramdaman ko naman sa aming gilid ang iba pang mga sirena, pero hindi ko na sila nagawang mabalingan pa dahil sa pagmamadali. The water became hazy as we stayed longer beneath the rocks. Dust filled the surroundings which hindered us from seeing the things around us. However, it didn't stop Tross from swimming forward towards a safer place Hindi ko na maaninag ang aming mga kasamahan kaya napakapit na ako nang tuluyan sa braso ng lalake. We were in a hurry with our minds unstable and I didn't have the chance to notice a pointed rock on my right. Dahil sa bilis ng aming paglangoy ay napasinghap na lang ako nang madaplisan ang aking buntok sa tulis nito. I bit my lip to prevent myself from releasing a whim
Chapter 45: Mythical RealmI turned to look at the mini clock that Tross have summoned seconds ago. With tiptoed footsteps, my head moved forward to take a peek at the remaining time that's left for the both of us to find the Obsidian Amulet.When I finally saw it, I released a sigh of relief as I discovered that we weren't too late . . . not just yet, at the moment.Binalingan ko naman sina Kerensa at Zandro sa 'ming harapan na kapuwa nakatukod sa mga buhangin at nakatingin din sa 'min.Tross was busying himself in checking the surroundings. Hindi na ako nag-abalang kunin ang atensiyon nito dahil alam na alam kong kapag ganiyan ang itsura nito ay sinusuri niya nang maigi ang aming paligid.Nakangiting nilapitan ko ang dalawang sirena na nakaangat pa rin ang tingin sa 'kin at bahagyang yumukod sa mga ito."Maraming salamat sa tulong ninyo," taos-puso kong ani at nginitian sila. "Kahit sa maikling oras ay nasanayan kong magin
Chapter 46: Into The DarknessSometimes, the best way to escape danger and save your ass from a swift moving and fifty-eyed creature must not be settled to a one-on-one fight—but running.A petite girl, like me, have an advantage on this part. My body's weight wasn't too heavy for me to carry it on my evading and these thin, yet long lower limbs of mine was of great help with leaping and jumping over thick boulders.Kagat-kagat ang sariling labi, tumalon ako mula sa isang malaking bato tungo sa parteng mas mababa ang lupa. I rolled on the floor as I landed and instantly got up before proceeding to run again on a steeper terrain.Dumausdos muna ako sa ilalim ng isang may katamtamang laking butas na aking nahagilap sa kalagitnaan ng pagtatakbo. Nang makarating ako sa loob no’n ay inihinanda ko ang sarili at inabangan ang pagdating ng mga halimaw na walang tigil sa pagsunod hangga't tuluyan nila akong mapapatay.I touched
Chapter 47: ObsidianTHIRD PERSONBy the time Tross took a step towards the clusters of dark mists that served as a portal that will take him to the place where his amulet was hidden, he felt his body oddly floating amidst darkness.His forehead creased upon discovering nothing, but eternal darkness.Normal Deanders couldn't see through the dark, yet he had this special ability to clearly see anything even with the absence of light. This was what he thought that qualified him to be chosen as Deandrelle's sentinel—his ability to see through darkness.Apparently, in the dimension where the amulet was hidden, his ability was quite nullified, or there was actually nothing to see because he was floating over nothingness. Perhaps, a void that resembled an umbra.Tross was definitely puzzled. With that, he attempted to both his upper and lower limbs. There, he proved that he was indeed floating on air.
Chapter 48: Glimpse Of Tomorrow I deeply groaned when I felt my body colliding with a tree trunk. The impact was strong, enough to make me taste iron in my mouth. I hissed and expectorated it out. Masama kong tiningnan ang malaking nilalang na nakatayo sa aking harapan. I didn't know what kind of creatures it was. One eye and six arms, with a green and bulky body. That's how bizarre it looked like. Taglay rin nito ang kakaibang lakas kaya ilang ulit na akong naibalibag nito sa kung saan. Kanina nga'y halos mahulog na ako sa bangin dahil doon ako inihagis ng nilalang. Fortunately, a lone rock attached by the corner of the cliff was extended to where I was thrown off. I was able to grab it before I could even see myself falling towards the raging waves. Nauubos na ang aking pasensiya sa tuwing paulit-ulit na lamang ako nitong naihahagis. It already destroyed my leisure time a while ago. I didn't know that it still had the audaci
Chapter 49: Once In A LifetimeBRYLEPabagsak akong umupo sa upuang nakapuwesto sa malawak na bulwagan ng palasiyo ng Kaharian ng El Wendor.Napasabunot ako sa sariling buhok at wala sa sariling napasuntok sa mesang nasa gitna. I let out a scream of frustration before leaning my back against the cushioned chair.Tumitig ako sa kawalan habang inaalala ang nangyaring labanan—labanang nagawa naming talunin ang hukbo ng kalaban, ngunit hindi nagtagumpay na bawiin ang aking pinakamamahal na kapatid.Nakita ko pa kung paano nito marahas na walang awang pinatay ang ibang mga sundalong kasapi ng kaniyang kaharian.Brielle . . . the once lively and enthusiastic girl, my lovely sister, have now turned into evil darkness.Mom and dad already knew about this and they were desperately worried about my sister's condition. They were both residing in El Wendor's capital, and I've told them to never initiate an
Chapter 50: Farewell, AdaleaIt took us more than three days to successfully bring the creatures of Mythical Realm to safety.Tross was right when he said that there were more than hundreds of untamed creatures residing in the island. Apparently, even when they were all wild and feral, they still make up more than a half of Aerydone's brave and mythical creatures.We can't risk them to be controlled by evil darkness, especially when they were predators and that killing was their main intent. Aside from the fact that we would just burden ourselves more with fighting against them if they get controlled, we also don't want them to die in vain.They may be considered as apex predators of this world, we still didn't want their races to be erased. If we could isolate them from the war that's coming, then we'll have to do it for the sake of their safety.And so, on the first day of our self-proclaimed mission to save the creatures, we wer
Chapter 51: Mordor Kingdom"You saw them?"I nodded at the guy who was shotting me a curious look. Habang nakatingin din sa kaniya ay hindi ko maiwasang itagilid ang ulo nang may maalala.Somehow, he duplicated King Dreiche. His expression, personality, and the aura that they were both emitting were deeply alike.He is, with no doubt, a total resemblance to the king. No wonder he was chosen to be his sentinel. Halos magkapareho na ang pag-uugali ng mga ito. Kulang na lang ay ipagdikit ang kanilang mukha upang magmistula rin silang magkamukha."Staring is rude."Those words instantly caught me off guard! Inilihis ko kaagad ang aking paningin sa ibang bagay na para bang nakuha nito ang aking interes at atensiyon. I heard how the guy released a soft sigh, which made me bit my lip to suppress the smile that I was keeping."What else happened in the garden?" tanong pa nito na siyang ikinibit-balikat ko. "Well, I just talked
