It is now the next day and at the Batumbakal Tribe, Lakas was in his bedroom inside their castle with Ulan, Kidlat and especially Lakam who still cannot get over what happened to him yesterday....
Lakam: (keeps staring at nothing) (feels silent and traumatized) (hugs his legs)
Lakas: (sadly sitting next to Lakam) (looks concerned and touched Lakam's neck)
Ulan: (sadly watches Lakas touching Lakam's neck) is he sick? does he have a fever or something???
Lakam: no I don't....
Lakas: (cuts off Lakam) yes he has and Lakam... (looks back at Lakam) you do not have to be ashamed of being scared..... (strokes Lakam's hair) everyone gets scared......
Lakam: but still... (suddenly cries) (nervously shakes) I was so hopeless and thought I would not make it... it showed me right into my face that I do have nothing to do about it but die... and I am so stupid for thinking that I have no choice.... having no escape... and in the verge of dying once again.....
Ulan: (approaches closer and sits next to Lakam) Lakam has a point Lakas.... (hugs Lakam) everyone will come up with a realization that they are useless when they are in a situation where they cannot escape death..... (shrugs) honestly.... it is more general that than because it just proves that mortals surviving life is basically luck and fate.... when it is your time.... your weakness and vulnerability will always take over and.... (sadly looks at Lakas) you have nothing else to do but to realize that before you close your eyes and feel nothing anymore...
Lakas: (looks down sadly) braveness is nothing when it is that time.... it will show the naked cowardness of every human being and you don't have anything to cover it when it's shown.....
Lakam: (keeps crying) I am so scared... (suddenly holds Lakas and Ulan tightly)
*Lakas and Ulan sadly watches Lakam still feeling scared*
Ulan: but still.... (pats Lakam's back) we are here.... we saved you and if what we said scared you more.... always remember that somebody was plotting to kill you.... not really fate thing so it cancels out the point of what we said....
Lakas: and it is not your time... (holds and tries to wipe Lakam's tears) I heard Sidapa actually revived you and I am pretty sure that gift is him being aware that you have a long life ahead of you....
Lakam: (nods sadly) (keeps hugging Lakas and Ulan) still... stay with me okay????
Lakas: we will be here... (smiles at Lakam)
Kidlat: (approaches everyone seriously) guys....
Ulan: (notices Kidlat arriving) oh hey Kidlat..... you are back.... any news???
Kidlat: yes... (nods) and there are more people who died..... last night.... 2 more....
Lakam: (suddenly gets triggered and feels nervous again) people keep dying... (looks around) we really are not safe here.....
Ulan: do not worry... (keeps hugging Lakam) we are safe in the castle right, Lakas? (looks at Lakas)
Kidlat: yeah and... (looks around) even though Sahaya isn't something we would like to trust.... I am concerned and wondering where she is... because in these dangers.. she has to know to stay inside..... she is still the princess after all...
Lakas: (suddenly looks down nervously) (listens to Kidlat talking about Sahaya) (in his mind) but how safe are we really in this castle??
Ulan: (looks concerned at Lakas looking nervous)While Lakas and the others are stuck and trying to keep safe in the castle, Bulan and the rest of the gang were already travelling back inside the forest to go to Mount Madjaas to visit the deep hole that Sidapa and Bulan once used to travel to hell.... at a pathway......
Agui: (leads the way and walks in front of everybody) so... Bulan, have Sidapa told you what that hell hole is called????
Hala: (looks confused at Bulan)
Bulan: ugh... (suddenly feels confused and looks down) I do not know if I forgot which I feel guilty about or.... he never said and we called it hell hole.....
Agui: (suddenly laughs) hell hole haha... (smiles down) it reminds me of something......
Hala: okay? (looks weirded out and confused at Agui) but what is it called... I surprisingly do not know.....
Liksi: yeah... does it really have a name???
Agui: yeah.... and it really is close to what Bulan and Sidapa calls... hell hole.... because it called......
Daplan: (catches up and holds Bulan's hand) (cuts off Agui) Hell Peeks......
*everyone suddenly looks impressed at Daplan*
Hala: how did you know... (looks confused at Daplan)
Daplan: (confidently speaks) that's literally my father's home so why would I not know... and yes... I can see that father forgot to tell father Bulan that it is called that way....
Bulan: (slightly smiles at Daplan)
Agui: well... (looks confused at Daplan) he is right though...
Aman: but Agui.... have you been there before since you know it and can go there????
Agui: (nods and blushes down) yeah and that is actually the root of Sidapa's slight rivalry with me... I am always loved and invited by his parents to go in hell... they actually mentored me.... gave me this privilege as well because I initially cannot go in hell when I came out and had life.... had dinners and everytime he comes home.... he is always away though so when he comes home... he gets mad but his anger is considered invalid because he is always away.....
Bulan: (listens curiously to Agui) now it is making more sense.....
Agui: (smiles at Bulan) yes it is but.... I do not think his anger is invalid... maybe it was but the reason of leaving was not because.... he always leaves to watch you Bulan.... he spent so many times with you more than what you think.... sometimes you can see him and when you do... he hides.....
Bulan: (suddenly feels emotional listening to Agui)
Agui: but only if you know how much he does wants to be with you every single second of life.... he was always next to you with both of you were little.... and he loved his responsibility of being there for you.... he may even be born just for you......
Bulan: (tears fall on his face) but... (looks around) where is he now????
Liksi: (sadly hugs Bulan silently)
Daplan: (hugs Bulan tightly) father... stop crying....
Hala: he is still out there... (looks around) I promise....
Aman: and he is just away because he knows you need a much stronger version of him... even if it really is unnecessary... he will leave just to reflect and find himself once again.... find himself with you...
Agui: yeah Bulan... (walks back to Bulan) (touched Bulan's heart) you have a burning heart that burns and beats for him... there's Sidapa.... loved and lucky to be loved by you!!!!
Bulan: (suddenly hugs and cries on Agui tightly) I always thank you boys... but I am happy that you are here for me... and Sidapa.... I am glad and will always be grateful that you all are here.....
Aman: anything Bulan... (smiles at Hala)
Hala: and whatever happens... (smiles at Aman)
Liksi: (hugs Daplan and proudly watches Bulan cry on Agui)
Daplan: (smiles proudly and Bulan crying on Agui)
Agui: (softly hugs Bulan) (tears fall on his face) (feels his heart warming) (in his mind) come back now Sidapa... come back... (stares at the sun)
*the sun suddenly shines brighter*While Bulan, Agui and the others are travelling to the Mount Madjaas.... Dumagan and Sidapa were still together in the icy and snow domain.....
Sidapa: (watches Dumangan inspecting and walking around the whole snow) (in his mind) he really is gatekeeping this place but just roaming around the whole fields every day and night......
Dumangan: (suddenly feels something wrong) (looks down confusedly) what the?? (suddenly feels the temperature getting hot and something's melting) what is happening??? (looks around) I need to check on it..... (runs away)
Sidapa: (confusedly watches Dumangan suddenly feeling nervous) what is happening???? Dumangan! (runs and follows Dumangan) wait for me.......At the northern part of the whole domain, Dumangan arrives in the ruins that forms a circle around a huge empty area....
Dumangan: (approaches the area) (notices the ruins) (catches his breath) I am here... (murmurs) (feels exhausted) I hope it is still fine or else I will use up my strength for today.... (controls and rises giant sized ice sculptures from the ground)
*6 large ice figures emerges from the ground*
Sidapa: (approaches Dumangan with concern) Dumangan... do you need any help... what is the.... (suddenly eyes widens and shocked at the ice sculptures) wait..... that... is.....
Dumangan: (eyes widens and looks nervously shocked at Sidapa following and noticing the sculptures) Sidapa?!! (looks nervously back at the sculptures)Last 5 episodes... It is so emotional and it gives depth of the personalities and histories that our characters have... tune in!!
