"How about Michael?"

"It's in the prophecy."

"What about his rage?"

"The fire will continue burning, however, if not quench when it started feeding gas, it would turn into complete darkness after the inevitable explosion."

"Stoping him would only aggravate the situation."

"What will we do when that time comes?"

"We don't know. We can't see the future. Only we would know by the prophecy."

"The only hope we have is for him to understand the situation, but I know it will be hard."

"If only we can do something to help Michael."

"Let's hope and pray for Michael."

Michael. Michael. Michael..

"Yamero!" Rinig ko na parang nanggising sa buong sistema ko.

"Michael." Wika ko kasabay ng pagmulat ng aking mga mata.

Ilang araw na akong walang malay?

Pagkalabas ko ay narinig ko ang galit na boses ng isang lalaki kaya ko ito sinundan.

"Yamero!"

"I have been half-dead for centuries and I just woke up a few weeks ago. I waited for a very long time despite of my patience issue, and now you want me to wait for my drink?!" Aniya habang nakaupo sa kaniyang trono.

"Forgive me, my lord, but someone stolen all your drinks."

"Dare?" Madiin niyang tanong atsaka bigla na lamang lumitaw sa harapan ng matanda.

Parang nakita ko na sila. Saan nga ba?

"I-I-I-I don't know, my lord." Utal na sagot ng matanda.

"But he's an awesome dude." Rinig naming sabi ng binatang lalaki na papunta saamin ngayon.

"Yeah. His name, James, is literally a name for a king." Ani naman ng isa.

Pagkabanggit niya ng pangalan ay biglang natigil ang prinsipe atsaka dahan-dahang napatingin sa kaniyang likuran kung nasaan ang pintuan papasok sa kinaroroonan namin.

"You, you, you. What's the name, again?" Pagsalubong niya sa dalawang binata na nagpagulat sakanilang dalawa.

Pinaglalaruan nila ang tig-isa nilang punyal sakanilang mga kamay. At dahil sa gulat nila'y muntik nila itong mabitiwan.

I found it awesome and I want to do it too.

"My lord."

"The name?" Madiin niyang tanong na may tonong pagbabanta.

"J-j-james, my lord."

"Aha! James!" He exclaimed.

"James. James? James?" Tanong niya sakaniyang sarili atsaka bigla na lang nasa kaniyang trono nakaupo at nakapatong ang mga hita sa kamay ng kaniyang upuan.

"It ranged the bell but I can't remember who's who." Sabi niya sakaniyang sarili.

"James?" Tanong niya ulit.

"Welker." Sambit ko na umagaw ng atensyon nilang lahat.

"Oh? You're awake. I thought you're gonna stay dead forever." Wika saakin.
