I'm sure I'm not drunk. I'm fully aware what happened last night. Pero bakit nagising nalang ako na nakayakap si Vail sa'kin?! His arm wrapped around my waist and his head snuggled at the back of my neck. Paano ba 'to nangyari?!

I didn't move. Nakatalikod naman ako sa kaniya kung kaya't hindi ko makita kung gising na ba siya o hindi. I'm trying really hard to recall what happened last night. It's still early dawn so I'm quite

Huli kong naalala ay umupo ako sa tabi ng kama ni Vail habang siya naman ay puno ng pawis. He fell asleep after his drama about being scared for our sake. Never have I thought he would say those words.

I closed my eyes as I try to remember what happened next. I was dozing off to sleep after I frequently wipe his sweat. Hindi ako makaalis dahil halos minu-minuto siyang pinagpapawisan. Kargo de konsensya ko pa kung may mangyari sa kaniya. He and Aiden are the brains of this group but because of his knowledge of Agoza, he'll have a bigger role on this journey. So I can't just let him suffer being drunk.

Did he lie me down beside him?

Mukhang dito ako nakatulog kung kaya't nasa tabi niya ako ngayon. However, it doesn't explain why is he being comfortable like this. Malamang kapag gising siya nagbabangayan na kami sa oras na ito.

"Eira?"

Halos mapapitlag ako sa boses na narinig ko sa isip ko. It was from King Fabian. We lost contact ever since we entered Feu Follet and I haven't tried contacting him ever since. Nakalimutan ko naman kasing may ganitong bagay nga palang itinuro si Fabian.

"Yes. I'm here," I uttered with my voice being as low as possible. Natatakot na baka magising ko si Vail.

"Why with the voice? Anyway, that's not the issue. I've been contacting you for days. Where are you now?"

"Agoza."

Vail slightly moved and I felt like I was frozen on my place. Ironic for an ice elemental guardian.

"Denzel left the palace two nights ago. He used a portal! Kagagawan na naman ito ni Prince Samael. I'm trying to be calm for my people, Eira. Please do everything you can to stop the Prince from spreading his terror. . . And Denzel could be there already. "

"What?!"

Hindi ko mapigilan ang hindi mapasigaw sa gulat nang malaman ko iyon. A portal? Was it on the grimoire of spells that my generations were bound to keep? If a portal could be made, then there are greater things the spells of grimoire can do.

"Ang ingay mo kanina ka pa."

I felt his breath at the back of my neck before he decided to move. Mukhang bumangon siya kung kaya't bumaling ako sa direksyon niya. . . And on no it's a wrong move of mine.

"Stop acting like a kid. You're an adult stop acting you've seen something inappropriate."

It's inappropriate! Malamang magtatalukbong talaga ako kung makita ko siyang topless. It's still dark outside so I was hoping he didn't see how flustered I am. Pero bakit ba kasi siya nakahubad?

"I vomited if you're wondering why I'm like this."

"Bakit ka ba kasi nakahubad ha? At ano? Kanina ka pa gising?"

"Nakahubad? Gising? Whose with you? Don't tell me you slept with Vail?" Fabian's voice echoed in my head. I forgot he's still there.

"Of course no! Well technically yes but no!"

"Eira! Kanina ka pa nagsasalitang mag isa diyan. Mind telling me what's happening?"

I sighed. "Mind manipulation with King Fabian."
