Golden Blood (Legend Of The Stars #2)

Chapter Fifty-nine

Battle in the Caged Kingdom

"Who are you?"

Kadiliman. Narating na ng gabi ang kabuoan nito. Walang nahahagip ng mga mata ko kung hindi ang kadiliman ng gabi. Tanging ilaw lang mula sa mga bulaklak ko ang nagsisilbing gabay ng mga mata ko sa pagitan ng sarili ko, at ng mga nilalang na walang kamatayan.

I have loved the night. Every night was ours. Mine and Veron's. We cherish every hour after dusk.

But this. This is not like one of those nights. This night is for the devils behind me. The night for us to look forward to death.

"Ako it, mahal ko. I've never left you. I won't leave my queen without her king."

Fire. Red is fire. That is Vedalli's symbolism. Raging power and ruling which my mother and father had followed. Conquering and dominating with their blazing power and they wanted this to continue with Adrenyi's significance to Vedalli.

Laking pasasalamat kong hindi natuloy ang mga maling pagpapasya nila sakin. How I thank every god and goddesses, Astraea, Veron for not letting our marriage for bonding happen. Vedalli... was meant to be the first bridge among the five kingdoms. Masyado na ngang... nabulag ang ama ko sa napakahabang oras ng kanyang pagkabuhay. Ito ang itinayo niya. Vedalli. Tahanan ng mahigpit at marahas na pamamalakad.

But he's daughter was born differently. Out of the redness of our kingdom's dominion, he's daughter rose a different significance to his life and our flush. It's not fire. It's blood.

"Maghanda kayo. Zeref, Reagan, they are rising. Sorin, stay hidden in they sky. Huwag mong hayaan munang maramdaman nila ang mga dragon..." Boses ni Adelaine na punong-puno na ng pangamba at katatagan.

"Hindi iyon sumagot sa tanong ko," I began to touch the blade of my sword in my fingertips. Diretso ang tingin ko sa tahimik at madilim na isla na anong minuto man ngayon ay dadagundong na. "Who are you?" My voice was full of pride and power.

Wala na akong pakialam. Now's not the time for kindness and chivalry. Kahit sino pa man siya sakin noon, ay isa pa rin siyang taksil sa mga oras na ito.

'You belong to me...' I muttered the sword in mind. I felt its response in my blood. I can feel it giving me power. Nag-uumpisa na itong magpalabas, magpadaloy ng kapangyarihan papunta sakin.

"Ang aking Emperor ang may ganito ring mga bulaklak, Sora. He made an entire field of this for you. He offers you an immortal reign. Us. Mahal ko, hindi mo na kailangang tumakbo dahil lahat ng parte ng mundo, Astraea man o hindi ay ipagkakaloob na niya sayo. You just have to come with me... Let us finish the vampires, and you'll be our Empress..." He soothingly offered. Ang marahang boses nito'y isang malaking ilusyon. He's talking like he's not beside my greatest enemies.

"Sora." Tawag ni Zeref, Adelaine, at Celestre sakin.

I know Adrenyi's trying to tame me, but I'm already tamed to the sword. I don't care who he was and is now. He will die tonight. Ang prinsipeng may hawak sa kapangyarihan ng apoy ay mamamatay ngayong gabi.

Humugot ako ng malalim na hininga. Nanatili ang mga matang kong tanaw ang tumutupok na kadiliman. I started hearing noises all over the place, disturbing the silence and slowly rising. Noises the same as the ones behind me.

Shcreeches and teeth gritting are settling on my back. Yearning in thirst. Tila nagpipigil o nananabik, o may nagbabadyang sumakmal na sakin ano mang minuto. Bawat segundo ay dumadami ang tunog sa paligid, hanggang sa pinuna na nito ang buong isla. I was called by many in my mind, and it's only a matter of seconds now. Seconds before our plan apprears before the ground.
