Chapter 10: Lost DeanderSeven years ago when I was 10, I decided to leave the orphanage where I grew up so I can learn how to sustain myself without depending my needs on others.At first, it was hard leaving those people in that institution who I treated my family: the nuns and sisters who took good care and fed us, my co-orphans who were still in the venture to seek for their real parents, and some of those friends that I've made.Though the people and children didn't want me to leave, it was a tough decision to make. And since the number of children being admitted in the orphanage is constantly growing, I do not want to become a burden to the nuns anymore. Besides, the ten year that they spared to feed and protect me was more than enough. With a heavy heart and disoriented mind, I left the place when everyone was asleep because I cannot stand seeing them cry and bidding their farewells to me.Isang taon akong nagpaligoy-ligoy at namuh

Chapter 12: Two Points MeetHindi naman naging matagal ang paglalakbay namin tungo sa ilog ng Yulka. Nagpapasalamat nga ako’t naging payapa ang aming paglalakad at walang kahit na anong naging hadlang upang patagalin pa kami. Magdadapit-hapon na nang marating namin ang kahabaan ng ilog."This river is too big and wide. How are we supposed to find the amulet?" ani Brielle at sinipat ang tubig ng ilog."Maybe there are clues or hints around. Imposible naman yatang walang iniwang palatandaan si Reyna Raiyah patungkol sa eksaktong lokasiyon ng agimat," turan ni Bryle.Nagsimula kaming maghanap ng kung ano sa aming kapaligiran. The guys tried moving big rocks and stones to find clues underneath. Ako naman ay sinusubukang kapain ang mga naglalakihang katawan ng puno sa paligid at nagbabakasakaling may mahanap ako roon. Patuloy namang hinahawakan ni Brielle ang tubig sa hindi ko malamang dahilan.Meanwhile, Travis just stood on one

Chapter 14: SapphireBRIELLEHindi ko maiwasang makaramdam ng kaba nang lumusong sa kailaliman ng Yulka River. Pitch black with combined swirling dark blue hues immediately covered my sight, but I kept swimming further and deeper.Wendorians acquire the ability to control water, but no one has the capability to breathe underwater—except me. Ito ang isa sa mga naisip kong dahilan kung bakit ako ang napili ni Queen Raiyah na humalili sa aming kaharian.This ability is unique and rare. Noong nalaman kong nanganganib ang aming mundo laban sa kadilimang nagsisimulang sumasakop sa kabuuan nito, pinag-iigihan kong hasain ang aking kapangyarihan nang sa gayon ay maprotektahan ko ang aking pamilya.Lalo lamang akong nagpursige nang mawalay sa amin ang aking lola at tito sapagkat pinatay ito ng mga kampon ni Voltur. That was the time when I was pushed to train harder and stronger so I can be one of the qualifying Wendo

Chapter 16: EncounterMabilis, ngunit dahan-dahan naming tinawid ang mabato at maalikabok na daan patungo sa naglalakihang pader ng bayan ng Albina.We all kept low and tried to hide our presence. The last thing that we want to happen right now is to be caught by any civilian living in this town. Even though we presented to help them—because this isn't their fight and they are just victims of Voltur's evilness in the first place— the fact that we're entering the town without their consent is still a negative impression.Apparently, those consents and permissions are no use right now. We need to help these people and that is our priority!When we arrived at the spot where we can properly perform the thing that we've planned earlier, Gust briskly lifted his hands the moment Tross signalled him. Bahagya akong napasinghap nang maramdaman ang paglutang ng sariling katawan sa ere.Actually, every one of us is floating mid-air

Chapter 18: Delusional SchemeKamatayan . . .Isang salitang kay tagal ko nang inaasam-asam . . . at mukhang, ngayon na nga ang nakatakdang araw upang maguhit ito sa aking kapalaran.If I was bound to die, then at least I've fought for my life before dying."Clove, we've got what we need."Natigil ang pagsakal sa akin ng lalake nang lumabas mula sa kaniyang likuran ang isang babae—ang babaeng nakasagupa ng mga kasamahan ko! Her eyes then turned to look at me and shot a glare full of disgust and madness. Hindi iyon nagtagal at tumalikod ito mula sa puwesto namin."Put her down. You don't want to waste your time on a wimp."The guy smirked. Mabilis akong ibinalibag nito sa isang poste na siyang pagkawala ng isang ungol mula sa aking bibig nang maramdaman ang sakit sa aking tagilirang napuruhan. Ngunit sa kabila ng naramdamang paghihirap, hindi nakatakas sa aking paningin ang isang bagay na hawak-
