"Seryoso ka ba, Luna?" Paninigurado ni Pream.

"Did I hear it right?" Stress na sabi ni Iraia habang sapo ang ulo.

"May panahon pa ba ako para magbiro?" Irap ni Luna at muling binagsak ang ulo sa balikat ni Sefarina'ng marahan namang tinapik tapik ang pisngi ng kaibigan.

"Gago, paano?" Mahinang bulong ni Veton sa sarili na tila nasa isang malalim na pagdi-diskusyon kasama ang kanyang sarili.

Sefarina looked at him with disgust in her eyes before facing Luna.

"'Wag ka nga ma-stress, papanget ka lalo." Mahinang lait niya kay Luna na biglang may kalakasang tinampal ang kanyang pisngi.

She winced in pain. "Aray, gago. Bakit may kasamang galit?" Nakangusong reklamo niya kay Luna na ganon muli ang ginawa pero sa kabilang pisngi naman niya.

Makikipag-away pa sana siya nang senyasan siyang manahimik ni Luna at tinuro ang kanyang ulo bago inikot ikot ang kanyang hintuturo.

"By now, we should have considered Dea Tacita's message from the Moon Goddess."

All eyes landed on Enfys who's plainly looking at the scenery from the glass window. 

Dea Tacita, ang mensajero ng Luna. 

She is beautiful, like a goddess endowed with a pleasing appearance to entice all creatures. However, as much as it will always be a pleasure to meet her, it is more uncomfortable because their meeting would mean another death.

The last time they all met, Dea Tacita warned them about the dovetail. A certain dovetail that has been unknown to them until the prophecy told them so. 

Enfys, a time traveler or perhaps more, didn't mention this for nothing.

"The dovetail... is the Akita?" Hindi siguradong saad ng dalaga at tinignan ang katabi na inilingan siya.

"No. The Akita and the dovetail's different. One is the destroyer and the latter is the danger itself." Pahayag ni Arrow at tumayo bago minuwestro ang kamay para makapaglabas ng joule.

He started writing words and symbols, even connecting some of them with his fingers, sort of like a shape. To elaborate, Damien abruptly stood up and, along with Arrow, immersed themselves in the joule.

"I'm off to sleep." Bangag na paalam ni Luna.

Pinanood ni Sefarina ang kaibigang patuloy na humihikab habang naglalakad bago hinagis ang katawan sa sofa bed. 

"Pero paano kung oo?" 

"Then we shouldn't just expect for chaos to come." Sagot ni Damien who unexpectedly heard what the Princess whispered before facing her.

"But the realms ending."

Maliit na napangiti si Luna bago tuluyang pinikit ang kanyang mata kasabay nang pagkawalan ng malay ni Pream.

"Tangina naman dude! Pwede ka naman sigurong mag-warning bago mahimatay diba?!" Malakas na sigaw ni Veton na gulat na gulat sa pagbagsak ni Pream sa kanya.

"Did he pass out?" Iraia asked, surprised.

"Oo, gaga ka. Tumulong ka nga." Tawag niya sa kaibigan ngunit siya mismo ay hindi gumalaw.
