CHAPTER 20: Rankings

Crizten's POV

Ilang minuto pa ang nakalipas bago ako nakabawi at gumalaw para alisin ang apoy sa Main Building.

“Sorry, I'm late! May sumugod din kasing Necromancer sa tribe natin at doon sa dalawa. Tapos meron din sa backgate at Eastern Forest.” Mabilis akong tinulungan ni Cassandra sa pagtupok ng apoy.

“Forget about that. Contact everyone, including the Council after this. Ask them if we could hold a meeting later.” saad ko, hindi ko man lang sya tinapunan ng tingin ngunit alam kong nagtataka sya sa sinabi ko.

“For what?”

Huminga ako ng malalim. “Just contact them and stop asking me.”

Sa gilid ng mga mata ko ay napansin kong natigilan sya ngunit tumango rin sya. “O–Okay,”

“Kuya said he could make arrangements this afternoon.”

Bumuntong hininga ako. “Tell him that we can't waste any seconds. Arrange the meeting right after this.”

“But—”

Inis akong lumingon sa kanya. “Why on hell can't you just do what I told you?!”

“C–Crizten,”

Bumuntong hininga ako saka nag-iwas ng tingin. “Please. We can't waste any seconds.”

Dahan dahan syang tumango. “I'll go and persuade Kuya.”

Tumango ako saka ngumiti. “And please call for Chloe and Charene. Thank you,”

Muling tumango sa akin si Cassandra saka ako iniwan doon mag-isa. Napabuntong hininga ako.

“I ask Cassandra to help you here but you order her to go somewhere. Tsk tsk,” Ngumisi ako dahil sa sinabing iyon ni Chino.

“Then, you should know the reason why. You didn't leave earlier so I assume you heard what those Necromancer said.”

Tumango sya saka ako tinulungang sa pagtupok ng apoy. “A war huh? We only have atleast three months before the Eastern Month,”

Mahina akong tumawa. “Isn't that the reason why I rush Cassandra? We need to rush things up.”

“But that one was a little harsh. Nope, that was harsh,” Napailing sya. Muli akong huminga ng malalim.

“Tch, I'm just a—”

“Stunned of what you have heard?” Muli syang natawa. “Of course you should be, since you will be surely lead us. You are the king, after all.”

Umismid ako at napairap. “Sige lang, dagdagan mo pa ang nararamdaman kong pressure.”

Humagalpak sya ng tawa dahil sa sinabi ko. Natigil lamang iyon nung dumating sina Chloe at Charene. Kasunod nilang dalawa si Cassandra.

Huminga muna ng malalim si Chloe saka tumingin sa akin. “You need us?”

Tumango ako. “Status about the other tribes? Any casualties?”

Mabilis silang umiling. “Bukod sa nasunog ang dalawang building sa Sorcerer's tribe ay wala namang nasugatan o namatay. Seems like Ms. La Vinci alert all of the Sorcerers beforehand na may mangyayaring ganito.”

“Same on the Magician's. Though we have a problem,”

Napatingin ako kay Charene. “What is it?”
