Crimson's POV‘Is this it?’“Run! I'll find you.”‘Is this the end?’“No! We'll go together! I can't leave you now. Not like this.”‘Is this what I've been fighting for?’“Don't you wanna know who she truly is, Eliora? You've come a long way just to find someone who was standing infront of you all this time!”‘Is this the only chance I have to survive? My last play. My last bet. My last card.’“You've won. Time to go home.”‘I'm free.’***“You're late.” Bungad sa akin ni Hellios. Naupo ako sa tabi niya, nasa dulo kami ng silid kaya hindi masyadong makikita dahil madilim sa parteng ito. They closed the window blinds as Vyel was presenting something in front. They started the meeting without me.“I slept in. I was tired.” Pagdadahilan ko. Naging bulungan lang ang usapan namin.“Maaga niyo raw natapos 'yong gawain kahapon sabi ni Shun.”I sighed. “Just focus on the meeting.”“Coming from someone who was half the hour late.” Biglang sumulpot kung saan si Thyne. Nakatanggap siya ng masaman

Crimson's POV‘Don't look, Eliora. Avert your eyes. You'll hurt yourself.’I want to but something is dragging my eyes to stare at them.‘Umalis ka na. Just run. Walk away. Masasaktan ka lang kapag itinuloy mo pa.’I kept telling myself those words but I couldn't. I can't move myself.I can't utter a word. I just watched them. I chuckled. ‘How long do I have to stand here?’‘How long until you finally notice me?’ Para bang narinig niya ang tanong na iyon dahil saktong lumingon siya sa akin. I smiled to myself when he tried to push the girl away.Nakakatawa kung paanong itinulak niya ang babae palayo kung kailan nakita ko na sila. Why did he do that?My lips trembled when I felt a hand covering my eyes, blocking my view. Before I could utter a word, he dragged me out of there.Habang tumatakbo ay ramdam ko ang unti-unting pagbigat ng mga yabag ko. I felt numb. Empty. Like I was slowly being pulled by a blackhole. Dragging me into a void.Hindi ko alam kung gaano katagal akong nakatayo r

Hellios' POVI watched as Crimson walk away. I didn't stop her. I chose not to.She's right. Who am I to give her this kind of treatment? I'm just like any other guy who broke her trust. The only difference is,‘I love her.’“Hellios.” Tawag sa akin ni Hanako. She looked at my eyes, asking me if I was okay. I gave her a soft smile before patting her head.“Let's go. Baka abutin tayo ng dilim.” She agreed at my statement. Habang nagmamaneho pabalik, walang ibang pumasok sa isip ko kung hindi siya.Siya lang.What she said back there. How she said it. And how it felt.Maybe I hurt her a lot. Maybe I went too far.Tahimik lang kaming pareho buong byahe. The silence was interrupted when Hanako asked, “did you hear about it?” Pertaining to the girl on Gideon's office.Umiling ako, nakatuon ang atensyon sa daan. “Where did you hear it?”“Trainees, kumalat agad sa sector namin.” She sighed.Hindi na ako nagsalita pa pagkatapos. Maya-maya pa ay, “I'm sorry about earlier.” Usal ni Hanako.“What

Knythe's POVIt was quarter to 9:00 pm already and the party will start at 9:30. Still, no sign of Crimson!Kaya ako nauna ay dahil akala ko pwede na pumasok, ngunit pagpunta ko rito, ang naging bungad sa akin ay,flashback...“You're here alone, Sir?”“Uh, no. I'm waiting for my partner.”“I'm afraid you can't come in without an assistance. The Director ordered us to be strict because we are tallying the numbers of guests.”“But, she'll be here soon. Can't I come in?”“You'll gonna have to wait on the lounge, Sir.”end of flashback...“Damn it, Elle. Where are you?” Pabulong na tanong ko sa aking sarili. I stood confidently, exchanging smiles towards the other guests.This is my way of coping up. If I sat on the lounge while fidgeting with my phone, it'll make me look like I lack self confidence. And that's the last thing I want right now.“Thyne?” A voice called out to me. ‘Great, just when I thought this day could get any luckier.’ Nilingon ko siya at bahagyang ngumiti.“Good evenin

Crimson's POV“At this very moment, I would like you all to remember, that without you, this Legion will fall. No king succeeds without a kingdom to protect. No kingdom will remain standing without knights who protects. I will fall, without my allies. Tonight happened because you made it happen. It has been a pleasure, serving with you, my fellow warriors.” Masiglang sigaw ng Director. Nagsitanguan naman ang mga tao sa paligid namin habang may iilan na palakpak at hiyaw mula sa mga manonood.“Let us all enjoy the rest of this evening, ladies and gentlemen. Have a good night!” Pagtatapos niya.The crowd gave him a round of warm applause, they cheered and stood up as they greet the Director, one by one.The rest of the party went well but I'm starting to feel really bored. I yawned before looking around, observing those folk on the aisle. Naiwan kaming mga babae sa table habang nasa pulungan ang mga lalaki. I looked over the table where the men gathered. The Director laughed as he patted
