28.1: Moving Forward
CHAPTER 28.1
Moving ForwardWHEN MERLIN heard what happened to Selene, he was neither angry nor agitated at Lucas. He didn’t even reprimand him for taking blood on the Princess, rather; he was relieved to know that nothing more serious happened to her – which is, in the first place, Lucas would never allow to happen. After all, he dedicated all of his training to Selene and he made sure that he’s stronger to protect her.Although of course, his weaknesses would show every now and then but... He’s getting there. He can still protect Selene.“Nalaman ko mula kina Jonas na tumatawag ka kanina at may pagpupulong. Pasensya na. Inatake kami ng mga kawal mula sa kaharian ng Westmount,” paliwanag niya. Gusto niyang banggitin ang tungkol kay Fausto at kung ilang beses na itong muntik makalusot sa kanila ni Sir Fernandez kanina’t mapaslang si Selene pero hindi na siya nagsabi. “We weRelated chapters
Blood and Roses 28.2: Temporary Peace
CHAPTER 28.2Temporary Peace IT WASN’T long when Selene woke up from her sleep and found Lucas sleeping at the edge of her bed with his face buried in between his arms. Iniisip niya kung ilang oras ba siyang natutulog ngunit wala rin naman siyang mapagtatanungan. That being said, Selene pushed herself up from the mattress and sat. She used the headrest of her bed so that she could lean on it then she tried to take a peek of what’s outside even though it’s impossible to see through the thick material of her tent. Bringing her gaze back to Lucas’ sleeping figure, Selene couldn’t help it but to smile for how peaceful he looked like while he dozed off. Mahina siyang humagikhik, siniguro niyang hindi magigising si Lucas, ‘tsaka niya inabot ang ulo nito para paglaruan ang buhok ng binata. She can’t help it. Even though there is only little time for them to bathe and all, his hair still looked soft
Blood and Roses 28.3: Perilous Condition
CHAPTER 28.3Perilous Condition MERLIN HAD NEVER expected for this black aura to be manifesting in the deeper part of the forest strongly. He didn’t expect it to be protective of its vessel to the point that it’d surround the woodlands with thick black fog. The mere fact that it grows stronger in every step they take and as near they are to the dark mage, Merlin could assume that this black fog has a mind of its own. It’s acting like a protective dog who’d bite their heads off if they proceed into the depths of the forest they are in. Halos wala nang makita sina Merlin at sa t’wing susubukan nilang huminga, parang mas lalo lamang silang kinakapos sa hangin. Lihim siyang napamura’t umismid. Hindi sila makakapagpatuloy kung ganito kakapal ang usok na hatid ng itim na mahika. Hindi lang siya ang apektado rito kung hindi maging ang mga kasama niyang pinaghihilakbutan sa t’wing ii-imply ni Merlin
Blood and Roses 28.4: Something Odd
CHAPTER 28.4Something Odd NO MATTER HOW strong an aura is and no matter how slim the chance of getting past through it may be, ten percent will always be better than zero itself. Nakaismid na tinitignan ni Merlin ang maliit na butas sa gilid ng awrang nakapalibot sa buong gubat kung nasaan naroroon ang kampo ng kalaban. Staring at this hole, Merlin assumed that this is what the clones used to exit the camp so that the aura wouldn’t eat them again. Ang problema lamang ni Merlin dito e masyadong maliit ang butas na nakikita niya at kailangan nilang gumapang, pero sigurado siyang kaya nitong i-accommodate ang hanggang sa size ng katawan ni Kapitan Favian. But still, it’s better to do something than nothing. “Hindi ba tayo mahahawakan ng itim na awrang ‘yan kung diyan tayo dadaan?” nag-aalalang pag-uusisa ni Kapitan Favian na siyang ikinaismid at dahilan ng pagngisi niya.
Blood and Roses 28.5: Unforeseen Variable
CHAPTER 28.5Unforeseen Variable EVER SINCE THE deafening silence ensued, Selene just can't find it to herself to enjoy the peace and harmony. There were new soldiers sent to them and even after Sir Fernandez and Sir Theo came back from checking the entirety of their camp, they were told that the two found nothing suspicious. The day before yesterday was nothing but an ordinary day, and it's been going for three days now. She can't believe this solitude. It feels like something is lurking in the shadows and are just waiting for them to lower their guards down so that they'd be easier to take on. "Selene, why so tense?" Although mischief was hinted in Lucas' voice, she knew better— he was just trying to make her feel good but deep inside, he's probably way more bothered than him. "We've been resting for three days now, can't you at least enjoy days like this before we dive back to war?" "Pero 'di ka ba nawiwirduhan?
Blood and Roses 29.1: Made of Skin
CHAPTER 29.1Made of SkinMERLIN SWEATDROPPED as he stared and observed the humanoid in front of him created by an entity. He still has a smirk on his face but it’s also undeniable that he fears what this creature had created.After all, the humanoid was made supposedly to become human or at least, resemble a human. But the way it has a grotesque appearance, he can't help it but to point out how fucked up this thing looked like. It was just all skin and bones that peeked through the parts that weren't stitched properly. It has no eyeballs nor a proper mouth. It looked nothing but a being created to haunt for eternity. It’s disgusting.Merlin may appreciate the effort of creating something that would resemble a proper human but... Instead of this, the demon could have just possessed the person who summoned it.“You... You’re strong. I want you... Your
Blood and Roses 29.2: Plunging to Chaos
CHAPTER 29.2Plunging to Chaos THE AURA SCATTERED across the forest now and all of them are affected. Mahinang napamura si Lucas nang mapagtantong halos wala na silang makita sa loob ng ‘fog’ na nakabalot sa buong kampo ng mga kalaban. He hissed because they’ve been finding a way to get in but it seems like the chances are close to nothing. Ang iniisip niya ngayon e kung posible bang pasabugin ang mahikang ito nang makagawa sila ng mapapasukan. “Prinsipe Lucas, nakahanap kami ng note mula sa grupo nina Merlin tungkol sa itim na hamog na ‘to,” ani Jonas habang iwinawagayway ang papel na nakita nito. “Para ‘to sa grupo ni Chief Knight Fernandez pero kinuha na rin namin para makita mo nang maayos kung anong mga instruksyon ni Merlin.” Nginiwian niya ang binata. “Are you stupid? Bakit mo kinuha? Pwede mo naman akong dalhin na lang sa pinag-iwanan ng note na ‘y
Blood and Roses 29.3: What Lurks Around the Corner
CHAPTER 29.3What Lurks Around the Corner THE MOMENT THEY arrived into the battlefield, Selene was immediately distressed with the amount of bodies scattered across the place and the blood that splattered and painted the ground. The thing is, some of the bodies were not just clones, rather; they seemed to be actual humans before they were brought to their end. “Nandito si Fausto,” narinig niyang sabi ni Sir Fernandez at itinuro ang isang katawan na malapit sa kanila. Apparently, the body seemed to be eaten alive. There were still traces of the black aura around it. It seemed like he dissipated when he was embraced by the aura last time. “Mukhang hindi maganda ang nangyari sa mga kawal ng Westmount. Kaya siguro nagmamadali ring umalis si Prinsipe Zeno.” “There’s a demon here, right?” sabad naman ni Jonas ‘tsaka napaismid. Despite that, Selene still saw the man sweat drop. &l
Blood and Roses 29.4: Val’guz
CHAPTER 29.4Val’guz WHEN SELENE AND LUCAS’ troupe joined the battle, Captain Favian and the others were surprised. Hindi inaasahan ng mga ito ang pagdating nila dahil hindi naman sila ang back-up na hinahanap ng mga ito. But then again, they can’t do anything since they’re already here and they are well informed of how grave the situation is inside the fog. Iyon lang, mukhang hindi alam nina Kapitan Favian na hindi lamang basta-bastang mahiko ang kahaharapin ng mga ito. Bagamat nasa kalagitnaan ang mga ito ng pakikipaglaban sa mga clones na binuo ng mga ‘mahikong’ namamalagi at naiwan sa kampong ito, ipinaliwanag ng mga ito na may naiwan silang mga tao sa labas. The thing is, they couldn’t find them anymore. Thus Captain Favian assumed that they might’ve escaped already or they are goners. Either way, orihinal na naiwan ang mga ito para ibigay ang instruksyon ni Merlin sa
