Chapter 67

ISABELLA

"Stay behind me love." ani ni Ace at iginiya ako sa kanyang likuran gamit ang kaliwang kamay.

Hindi ko tuloy alam kung matatakot ako o mapapangiti dahil sa bagong tawag niya sakin, pero pinili kong magpigil dahil sa seryosong sitwasyon.

I obeyed and stayed behind him but choose to face my back against his back so I could watch the surrounding for him too.

Hindi nagtagal ay nakarinig kami ng kaluskos na mas lalong nagpaalerto sa amin. Suddenly Ace called and tried to grab me but in a flash Blue moved quickly in front of me like a shield.

Ginamit niya ang kanyang ability at tumira ng yelo sa kanyang harap, nakatalikod siya sakin ngayon. The culprit easily get away from being hit. Napakabilis nito at hindi na halos makita.

It seems like the enemy knew I am the weakest that's why it's targeting me. It could possibly be a person. Kasi sino naman ang ibang kayang gumamit ng pana maliban sa tao?

"Good job Blue. We're really one in protecting your mom eh? " Ace said smiling proudly

Then the obedient dog barked once happily. Talagang nagkakaintindihan na ang dalawa, nagseselos na ako. I am Blue's first friend but they look more closer.

"Sa tingin mo Ace ano ang umaatake sa atin?" pag iiba ko ng usapan

"A person... though im not sure who. This place is known to be a myth. And it was in the book entitled Realm zero that only mythical beasts inhabits this place."

"Hindi ko alam na ang Dungeon of death lang pala ang daan para makarating rito. As far as I know we are the first people who got here... Or maybe not. "

Matapos niya itong sabihin ay mabilis siyang kumilos at ginamit ang kapangyarihan para pigilan ang mabilis na paggalaw ng estranghero. Ace's veins protruded because of the force he is exerting. Ibig sabihin ay malakas at lumalaban sa kanyang pagkontrol ang sinumang umatake samin. Blue helped him by attacking the quick moving enemy with his power.

Patuloy nila itong ginagawa hanggang sa unti unting bumigat ang tension sa paligid before the cold spread through us and a dark cloud formed.

Orre said that this paradise never experience darkness, but with Ace's presence? I don't think that's possible...

Dahil unti unting binabalot ng dilim ang ibabaw namin na sumasalamin ngayon sa mata ni Ace. His eyes are darker than usual.

"Ace.." takot kong bigkas. Natatakot akong magwala si Ace at di kayang pigilan pa ang kapangyarihan though I've never seen him loose control yet.

The atmosphere is getting heavier and colder.

"Ace calm down.." hinawakan ko siya sa braso pero napabitaw rin ako nang para siyang yelo sa lamig. My hand would hurt if a hold him longer. I don't know what to do... Blue is still busy attacking, firing ice lasers everywhere he like.

Hindi ko alam kung paano ito ihinto at idaan sa usapan ang lahat.

"There you are." malamig na bigkas ni Ace kaya napalingun ako ulit sa kanya. And I found out why he said that.

Suspended in the air looking like he was paralized was a young man our age. He was immobilize completely by Ace's ability. His hair color is gray and his eyes are silver.. Like Gusts eyes when he summon his ability.

Isa siyang mamamayan ng Silveria, pero paano siya napunta rito? Does it mean dumaan rin siya sa dungeon of Death?

"Who are you? At bakit mo kami inaatake?" I ask immediately
