Dedicated to excipes!!
Belated happy valentine's day!

Enfys winced in pain as the massive unhuman being slammed her against the wall. With her hand shaking, she pushed it downwards to calm her nerves, which were fueling the pain.
Mabilis niyang ginalaw ang bakanteng kamay para kumuha ng enerhiya at pwersahang ibinigay 'yon sa mga papasugod sa kanya.
They all stumbled as she stood up to climb to the nearest tree.
Hingal siyang napatago sa kumpol ng mga dahon at madiing kinagat ang pang-ibabang labi habang sinusubukang indahin ang sakit na kanyang nararamdaman.
Lady Eavour was right.
"Are we going to face death already?" Takang tanong ni Iraia habang tinatali ang kanyang makulay at mahabang buhok.
"Medjo lang." Hindi siguradong sagot ni Sefarina na halos ikatawa naman ni Enfys.
"Quick. Baka hindi lang isang paa ni Damien ang lumubog sa lupa." Paalala sa kanila ni Arrow na tumayo pagkasintas sa kanyang sapatos.
Enfys looked in the direction of her friends, who were all preparing for the chaos that was about to happen.
It was precisely after the King and Luna had left that their uninvited and unwanted visitors appeared.
"Ano to, put-" Malakas na tinampal ni Pream ang bunganga ni Veton na ngayo'y namumutla na sa takot.
"That's Lady Eavour's messenger." Enfys acknowledged the silver-eyed owl who was resting serenely on Veton's shoulder.
Halos maligo naman sa pawis ang huli sa takot na baka kung ano ang gawin nito sa kanya. She motioned him to shut up as she notice something on its neck.
"En." Rinig niyang pigil sa kanya ni Pream sa balak niyang gawin.
She slowly moved towards the nebulous owl and carefully removed the rolled paper tied on its band. Mabilis naman siyang hinatak ni Pream papalayo at kinuha ang papel nitong hawak.
"May nakasulat." He announced.
"Malamang, tanga. Sulat 'yan diba?" Sarkastikong sagot ni Veton na kulang na lang ay humiwalay ang ulo sa katawan sa kagustuhang mailayo ang sarili sa kuwago.
"Shut up, please." Ubos na pasensyang awat ni Iraia sa binata.
Hindi naman sumagot pa si Pream at tuluyan nang binuka ang papel.
The arrival of the King at the academy is the signal that the rebels have been waiting for to launch their attack. Damien is in the lead, trying to delay Armour's arrival as much as possible. Try your hardest to keep them occupied. Not to worry about the dovetail, she is on her way.
Take care, Pharaohs.
Napaubo si Enfys ng likidong pamilyar sa kanya. Gamit ang duguan ding kamay ay pinunasan niya ang labi na may bakas din ng dugo.
She didn't know how long they'd been working to keep the rebels from entering the palace directly. Given that the King has yet to arrive, something must have prevented them from coming here.
"I can't die like this." Iling niya sa sarili at sinubukang pagalingin ang mga bali niya sa katawan.
If she's nowhere far from death, what more Damien? Upon their arrival, he was too occupied in killing thousands of their opponents alone.
