"Any progress?" Tanong ni Signia nang makaupo sa silyang nakaharap sa bintana.
"My fairies are breeding faster than I thought. Although we have a few men, masipag naman silang mag-dilig." Ngiti ni Violeta habang naka-dekwatro sa gitna ng silid.
"Huh? Edi pare-parehas ng tatay yung mga bata?!" Gulantang ni Denrich.
"What? No! Some of the women's pixies aren't riped yet that's why they'll be conceiving after a few years."
In Navillera, men and women do not need to interact in order to conceive a child. All they have to do is wait for the female pixies to ripen, which usually takes 5 years or more, and that will be their seed.
And in order for that to grow, didiligan iyon ng mga kapares ng mga babae which can be extracted in their pixies. As soon as it blooms, that's when the child comes out.
However, all these are only applicable if they were to breed in their natural form. Kapag naka-anyong mortal naman sila ay malaya silang gumawa ng bata sa paraan ng paggawa ng mga mortal.
But since they were born small, it will be difficult for them to bear the child for 9 whole months. Kaya hangga't maaari ay iniiwasan nila iyon.
"You're so judgmental. Ano na bang happenings sa territory mo?" Irap ni Violeta.
"You're so judgmental." Denrich mocked, even distorting his face.
Well, the millennia they were together made them all close with each other kahit na most of the time ay pagbabangayan lang ang ginagawa ng mga 'to.
"Ano nga?"
"Gago, nag-reklamo sa'kin yung bata ko. Bakit daw gumawa ako ng maasim na aso?" Hindi makapaniwalang singhal ni Denrich.
"Kailan ka pa gumawa ng aso?" Pagtataka ni Signia.
"Ayon nga, bro. Bakit ako gagawa ng aso? Kaya hinayaan ko muna roon si Dylan kaso tangina, pagbalik ko para ng binagyo ang Zetril?!" Nauulol na kwento ni Denrich.
Samantalang si Cosmos at Esme na tahimik na nakikinig ay nagkatinginan bago nagtanguan. Ginalaw ni Cosmos ang kamay para magpalabas ng joule kung saan tanaw mula roon ang 360 view ng buong Zetril.
"The fuck?" Saad ni Signia na sinundan ng halakhak.
"Aso lang gumawa niyan?" Pagdagdag niya.
"Oo, tanga. Aso." Sabay tingin sa joule.
Mula sa sulok ay dahan-dahang lumabas ang mga asong halos triple ang laki sa mga nakikita sa mortal realm.
Their legs are long, making their massive bodies appear taller. Ang balahibo nito'y makapal ngunit hindi sabog, which will certainly be adored by most pet owners because they are cuddly. They are either gray, white, black, or a combination of the three.
Bukod pa roon ay kapansin-pansin din ang mga mata nitong matalim kung tumingin. At first glance, they're like dogs.
Huge wild dogs.
"How did the wolves get in?" Pagtataka ni Cosmos.
"Wolves? Really, C? Are they even-" Bago pa matapos ni Violeta ang kanyang sinasabi ay tumirik na ang mata niya kasabay ng pagbagsak sa kinauupuan.
Mahinang natawa si Esme dahil kahit kailan, hindi na nagbago ang dalaga.
"Anong wolves sinasabi mo?" Singhap ni Denrich at mabilis na nakalapit sa tabi ni Cosmos.
"Wolves? As in lobo? Yung mga malakas umalulong? Yung kaagaw namin sa mga tao?!" Mabilis nitong sabi.
"Yes. Yes. Yes, and yes, Denrich. And yes, they're the ones the Luna mentioned."
