"Where's Kit?" Tanong ko.

It is already the second day of Central Magic Games. The list of games has already been announced.

What makes this second day exciting is I would get the chance to see Rill in the arena. Pinakahuling parte ng games ngayong araw ay ang battle between the presidents.

Noong nalaman pa ni Rill 'yun ay akala mo pinagbagsakan ng langit ang mukha niya.

"He won't be playing today. He's visiting Solana's grave." Nakangiting sagot ni Violet. "Pero magugulat kayo pagbalik niya."

"Huh? Bakit naman?" Tanong ko.

She just smirked. "You'll see."

Yesterday, they already made up. Nagulat pa nga ako dahil nag-aasaran na silang dalawa na akala mo'y walang nangyari. Mabuti na lang at pinaliwanag din nila sa amin ng maayos lahat.

Kumunot ang noo ni Rill. "Tigas ng ulo ng batang 'yon. Hindi man lang nagpaalam sa akin."

Tumawa kaming lahat. "Babawi daw siya bukas." Natatawang sagot ni Violet.

"Gray." Tawag ni Rill sakanya. "Ikaw ang papalit kay Kit ngayong araw."

Mabilis na umiling si Gray at pinakita ang hita niyang may benda. "I can't. Nahulog ako sa hagdan kagabi."

Nanliit ang mga mata namin. Paanong nahulog sa hagdan?

Oh, I remembered. Umuwing lasing si Scout at Gray kagabi.

Napahawak na lang sa noo si Rill. "Ang sakit niyo sa ulo lahat. Why would you even drink in the middle of the event?"

Nag-peace sign lamang si Scout at Gray.

"Daphne, you'll play today." Sambit ni Rill. Hindi na niya inantay pa ang isasagot ko at nauna nang pumasok sa may arena.

"Nice! Makakalaro ka na, Daph." Sabi sakin ni Ace.

We all went inside the hall where the other players are staying habang sina Clive, Gray, at Rill ay nasa may bleachers na.

I saw how Aries looked up when we entered the hall. Mukhang nagulat siya na makita akong nandito.

Tsk. Ganyang mukha ang ipapakita mo sa akin matapos mo akong iwan na lang bigla kahapon?

"Daphne!" Sigaw ni Zora at mabilis na lumapit sa akin kasama si Alex. "You're playing today?" I nodded.

"Looking forward to playing with you, Daph. Ang tagal na noong naglaban tayo during the meet. It's payback time!" Alex proudly said. Well, I won't go easy on him now. Nakita ko ang improvements niya and I must say that he's way too powerful than before.

"I won't go easy on you, Alex." Sagot ko.

Pumunta na kami sa assigned rooms namin. The first game is called Dragon Taming. Just by the name itself, it's all about taming dragons.
