The sun is kissing Elaira’s white soft cheeks habang nagiinat ito. She smiled upon hearing bird’s tweaking around. It always feels good in the middle of the forest. Since she started earning for herself she chose to build this house in the middle of the forest beside the lake dahil mas comfortbale sya dito compare sa city. Well she can’t say anything bad at the Water fairies capital City the Deepmist. Let’s just say that she’s so introvert. And she wants to spend most of her time alone. She is willing to train than to go out with girls and hang out with boys. That’s one of the reasons why the sisters who took care and raise her are always worried about her future. But she’s not. Since she’s a child she always dreamed of being a Warrior to protect the Tree of Life. And now it’s an honor to say that she’s one of the now.
Nagkakamot pa sya ng ulo ng dalawang mararahang katok ang narinig ni Elaira. Kumunot agad ang noo nya. It’s very unusual for her to have a visitor early in the morning. Dahan dahan syang kumilos papunta sa pinto at nakiramdam. She heard nothing. After a minute ay dalawang mararahang katok na naman ang narinig nya. by that time she ready her bow and frozen arrow. She’s ready to shoot anyone who will try to do her harm. Dahan dahan nyang binuksan ang pinto then she stepped backwards and load her frozen arrow.
“Come in…”
The door slowly opens and when it does…
“Dear Spirits!!!” bulalas ni Elaira upon seeing the white- haired man who stumbled down her floor. He is dripping wet and in labored breathing. Elaira immediately removes her bow and arrow and helped the poor man to get up on the floor.
“Morons!! You are all morons!!!” halos umalingawngaw ang boses ni Lester sa buong Black Citadel habang nanggigigil nitong pinagmamasdana ng sirang wristwatch na iniabot sa kanya ng mga tauhan. Sunod sunod din ang pagmumura nito na parang wala ng bukas na dadating pa at kulang na lng ay ibaon nito sa hukay ang mga kausap. “How can two breathless vampires escaped you???? And you call yourselves member of the Black Order!! Idiots!”
“We are so sorry Sir, but those two are like ghost!”
“Ghost!?? There’s no such thing! And to think that it all happened inside the Rim of Fire!”
“Sir, we will find them.”
“You better be!!! Catch that two vermin. I’d prefer my dinner with two headless vampires in a silver platter!”
Napalunok muna ang isang member bago nito nagawang tumango saka umalis na sa lugar na iyon.
“Can someone contact Clinda? That woman sure is late!”
“No need to contact me Lester.” said Clinda while she’s walking towards Lester na bahagya pang nasorpresa sa pagdating nya.
“Clinda! Oh dear… I thought you’re not going to make it.”
Inilibot muna ni Clinda ang paningin sa buong paligid. The pentagon table is empty.
“What did you do to them Lester? “ puno ng pagsususpetsang tanong niya dito.
“I killed our leader. Well, he’s a worthless one. All this time in this organization he only listens to what I’m saying. He’s just my puppet.”
“So it’s you after all. You’re all behind this. I always knew that Dust is a brainless man to create such big organization. Who are you? Really.”
Lester smiled. Then he faced the 3 pillars with two stones on top of it. “I’m one of the living creators of this wonderful masterpiece!” after saying that ay unti unting nabuksan ang malaking itim na bintana. A blinding light embraced the whole room. At kinailangan pang pumikit ni Clinda sa liwanag na iyon. Then what she saw next almost take her breath away. She saw the majestic Tree standing proud and tall. Malayo iyon pero tanaw na tanaw nila dahil sa laki nito.
