Seven's Point of View.

I flinched in surprise when my door was slammed open by someone outside. Nahulog pa ang quiver na ilalagay ko sana sa likod ko para lumabas at tingnan ang kaguluhang nangyayari dahil sa pagsabog. Handa na sana akong patamaan ng puwersa ang pangahas na nagbalibag ng pinto ng k'warto ko pero naramdaman ko na lang ang pagkatuod ko sa kinatatayuan ko.

"Y-Yzair?" gulat kong ani sa taong nakatayo sa bungad ng pintuan ko.

Confusion is visibly written on his face as he looks at me. His gaze grazed down my being that made me conscious. Damn.

"Kitten? Is this your room? But your father said-- oh, wait," he stopped and looked outside na tila may narealize. He then turned to me and I saw how his shoulders fell. Hindi pa rin ako makaimik. Hindi ko mabasa ang isipan n'ya. It's not that I can't but rather, I won't. Hindi n'ya naman siguro ako sasaktan, hindi ba? Kasi kung 'yun ang intensyon n'ya, sinaktan na n'ya sana ako.

Nang hindi s'ya nagsalita ay inayos ko na quiver at stick na hawak ko. Hinigit ko ang nakatagong espada sa gilid ng aparador bago lumapit sa kan'ya at ibinigay iyon. Nagtataka n'ya iyong tiningnan bago kinuha.

"Take that. You cannot survive from a battle without a weapon. Either of the side you're taking, you will need something to defend yourself," I said. Hindi ko na s'ya hinayaang makasagot at tinalikuran ko na s'ya. Pero bago pa man ako makalayo, nahawakan na n'ya ang braso ko kaya halos pabalya akong napaharap sa kan'ya. Kinunutan ko s'ya ng noo ngunit seryoso lang n'ya akong tiningnan.

"Your father told me to get a weapon in your room."

"And? Nabigyan na kita ng sandata mo. Let me go dahil tutulungan ko pa sila," pataray kong sagot.

"But this is not what I need," he said in a serious tone that made my forehead knotted even more.

I sighed. "I get it that you're powerful and you can always throw that sword away if that's not what you need right now--"

My words were cut when he pulled me to his body. In a second, he snaked his arms around me and hugged me tightly, seemingly scared to let go.

"I missed you," he whispered. And just like that, my heart went wild. I thought... I thought, galit s'ya sa akin? "Will you let me fight with you?"

Napangiti ako at niyakap s'ya pabalik bago humiwalay. "That's would be an honor, Commander."

He smirked. "Let's go?"

"Aye."

Third Person's Point of View.

"Engage into battle!"

Zander's voice roared in the massive field with his men when they succesfully bombed the barrier in the northern part. Dala ni Zander ang buong hukbo ng Sandatahang Lakas ng Lanham na minamanduhan ng ibang miyembro ng Konseho sa sumama sa kan'ya sa pagsugod.

He signalled his men to spread at palibutan ang buong lugar kung nasaan naglulungga sina Stanley. But even before his men could reach halfway of the border, men who were dressed in black armor suddenly appeared and slaughter Zander's men in surprise. And just like that, the battle has begun.
