Forty-Eight
There's no such things as accidents, just things falling into place.

“Could you tell me about it?”
“About what?”
I hesitate at first, but I ask either way. “About your banishment?”

Progress happens when people are willing to change.✾ The moment we arrive in Laguna, you could tell the air was more electrifying than when we went there the first time. The market was still bustling, the sea was still full of boats and fishermen, and there were still lots of people walking about. There were some tourists too, just a few. I could tell from the difference in both skin tone and clothing. Laguna was part of the old Niju. Unlike Savanna and the Torrids who used to be part of Sem. The guards didn’t stop at this time; however

Plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.✾ “Please, just leave me alone.” I frown, we haven’t even said anything to her yet. She was already pale, her eyes very anxious. It’s like she can’t even stand being near us or even being in the same place as us. Yohan was still pulling the deer by the twine; they were being restless. I’m guessing this is the first time they saw these many people, plus it was very noisy out here by the docks. Fishermen were screaming at the top of their lungs their catches fo

Does a child understand, what a mother does not say?✾ From my position, I could see Yohan crouching near the dam. He was making sure everything was set and placed on their exact locations. One wrong move and miscalculation we might end up with a bigger problem than we anticipated. Back at Thelma’s place we made precise decisions on the best place we could set it. This is to make sure that there would be no casualties. After all, it’s not everyday people attempt on destroying something big like a dam. It’s not everyday that p
Rules and Roses Fifty-Two
A well regulated plan, can never be counted as an accident.✾ “Yohan?” I ask, my anxiety raising by the minute. He doesn’t answer me, but he nods. We were by the overlook now, looking down on the dam. Or at least, what’s left of it, anyway. The wooden debris blocking the waterflow from reaching both the Torrids and Savanna were now broken down because of the bombs we strategically placed. Thelma was right, we didn’t have to place much, we just had to place enough. Bombs at the places that held much of i
Rules and Roses Fifty-Three
Control how you respond over things you have no control over.✾ The first thing I notice back at the Torrids is that it has gotten hotter. It was already hot before we left, but now that we’re back it had gone hotter. I didn’t realize just how cool it was then already, that there will be a time where it will be hotter. There was already a pool of sweat forming in the middle of my back and Yohan who was silent the whole way back didn’t look any better. Wiping the sweat off my forehead, I groaned loudly.

A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves.✾ I enter Judith’s hut first while Yohan calms himself down outside. His anger was valid, but it was just uncalled for. From how I met Judith as well as how I saw how she took care of Kofi, I knew she didn’t want this to happen. It would be unfair to blame her for something she couldn’t control. As well as with the resources available, there might be reasons as to why Kofi got sick. I slowly made explained this to Yohan since his mind wasn’t in the best of place when i

The art of medicine consists of amusing the patient while nature cures the disease.✾ I follow Yohan as he makes his way outside the room. He was picking up his rucksack from the floor and leaving some things behind in Judith’s table. The old woman was still snoring soundly on her own sofa. She must have been very tired. Yohan pulls tons of souvenirs and food items from his rucksack. I didn’t even realize he had a small shopping trip in Laguna. There were some scarves, caps, and even a small bottle opener. Not that it would be put

Even though your time on the job is temporary, if you do a good enough job, your work there will last forever.✾ I blink in surprise. “Kofi?” I couldn’t even believe my own voice. He was sick, how would he be able to travel with us? I voice out just that. “He’s sick, he can’t travel with us. He can’t even sit up all on his own when he’s in bed.” &
