Bloody 32: Descendant of the Dragon God

Roen Astrid.

What a pleasant evening, really. Bumuntong hininga ako at tiniis ang hapdi sa bawat parte ng aking katawan. So much for a solo mission, Roen.

Damn it. I have never envisioned for this situation to happen at all. Napakagat ako sa aking labi nang maramdaman ang isang matulis na sangang dumaplis sa aking braso.

I poured all my strength in running through the wide forest. I have decisively withdrew my wings long ago and decided to use my legs to run instead. I'm well aware that I shouldn't use my trait any longer since it requires an excessive amount of blood. I'm already quite exhausted from venting all my anger to Porter's servants.

"Running away? I just want to ask some questions, Miss Astrid. I don't mean to hurt you."

I am running because you're chasing me! Paulit ulit ko siyang minura sa utak ko habang tumatakbo sa masukal na kagubatan. It was a good thing that Porter's manor is located near a vast expanse of greenery and forest. I decided to run here as my means to escape because I knew I'll be at disadvantage in the air. He's called the dragon's soul for a reason.

Why the hell is this guy chasing me anyway? He should be busy with the minister and not waste his time here. Kung alam ko lang na mas interesado siyang habulin ako ay hindi ko na sana ginamit ang clone upang magsalita.

I tried my best to run across the trees in order to mess with his sight but my bloody red outfit didn't help me at all.  As I repeatedly condemned my own recklessness, my eyes quickly scanned the surroundings.

How can I possibly escape from Ryder's sight?

At this moment, a huge wide tree a few meters away came into vision. This is a perfect chance to try my luck. As I neared to my desired location, my wounded hand gathered every drop of blood oozing from my wounds. Sa maiksing oras ay lumikha ako ng sarili kong clone upang lituhin ang 'dragon' na humahabol sa aking likuran.

When the timing is right, I resolutely released my clone beside me. A sly smirk played within my bloody lips. Now what, dragon? I bet you'll have a hard time hunting me.

I ran together with my clone, changing positions in a zigzag manner. I took advantage of the trees to mess with his vision. Nang makailang beses na kaming nagpalit ng pwesto ay mabilis akong nagtago sa malaking puno na nakita ko kanina. I controlled my clone to go in the opposite direction. Well, I could only hope that does the trick.

Will it work?

I held my breath when I felt Captain's presence right behind the tree where I'm hiding. Agad akong kinabahan. What? Did he purposely stop because he knows I'm here?

"Sneaky lady." I heard him mutter before running away.

Nang maramdaman ko ang paglayo ng kanyang presensya ay agad akong napadausdos sa puno. I breathed heavily as my entire body trembled from ache. Everything is stinging from pain. Mixed blood and sweat covered my body in addition to the dirt and leaves I have somehow collected along my escape.
