TWISTED FATE OF THE KNIGHT

Chapter Twenty- Nine: Avy

"Where is he?! Why does only a horse come back?" Lady Miary asks me while controlling herself not to grab my collar.

"I don't know but I am sure that he runs first before me," I said to her.

"I'm going to look for him!" She said but then her maid said 'no'.

"Don't go! It's dangerous Lady Miary!" I said to her since she insists to look for Avy when the magic cast in the forest was already gone.

"Then, should I just wait for him if we already know how dangerous in the forest when the magic cast on the forest was gone?!"

" I'll go look for him" Napalingon naman kami sa nagsalita. It was Ian whom we expect less to act carelessly as Ronan stopped him to ride his horse.

"It's too dangerous, Ian," Ronan said to Ian as he holds him not to ride.

"Dangerous?! How about him?! We cannot let him die there?!" Ian shouted with his worried face as he clenched his fist. It's my first time to witness Ian's so angry.

"I agree. Let's go, Ian." Lady Miary calls Ian, and they prepare their horses but I stopped them to calm down.

"Calm down the both of you. Avy is not the person who will die easily so don't act recklessly. This is an order." I said so they have no choice but to listen. I am also worried about him since I was with him but I need to act rationally.

"Yes, I know but I can't help to worry." Lady Miary said as she calms down a bit while Ian is quiet when I look at him bago niya binitawan ang tali ng kanyang kabayo.

"Fine, let's look for him tomorrow." He said as he left us, and we go back to our tents. 

"Your Highness, you should rest for now. We can look for him tomorrow." Ronan told me as he taps my shoulder before he left me. I didn't answer him as I go back to my tent, and I was questioned by Kerz and Dravis kung hindi ko talaga kasama si Avy. They said to me to look for him now but I refuse since it is already night and it is very dangerous to look for him lalo't natanggal ang barrier to control the strength of the magical animals in the forest especially it is a full moon.

"But your Highness--" 

"No is a no Kerz. Don't make me repeat it," I told Kerz as Dravis calm him down before I went into my tent. 

Nahiga ako sa kama ko at napahawak sa aking noo kung saan si Avy even though I told them that he will not die easily but I can't stop worrying about him. I can't sleep because of it so I went outside and I didn't expect that it was already midnight. Pumunta ako sa may entrance para tignan si Avy baka sakaling nahuli lang talaga siya. I saw someone in front and it was Ian facing the forest kaya lumapit ako at hindi niya ako napansin.

"You can't sleep?" I said so he looks in my way.

"Your Highness, I am sorry a while ago. I lost my patience." He said as he looks forward again.

"It's okay, Ian. I feel the same but I need to be calm since I don't want to let my subordinates be endangered." I said.

"Your Highness, you did the right thing but I hope he is safe somewhere in there." He said as he smiles a little bit pero agad ding nawala.

"I agree but knowing him, he is definitely hiding in a safe place," I said to assure him since he looks so worried na bago sa akin.

"I really hope-- wait something is coming out from the forest!" He said kaya napatingin ako doon.

"I-is that the magical beast in the magical tree?" I ask him since it was glowing ash with light blue highlights on it. 

"Yes, it was and it looks like something on his back-- It's Avy!" He said at si Avy nga ang nasa likod nito nang makalapit sa amin.
