3rd person's POV
Napatanga ang konsenho nang tumalon ang dalaga mula sa palapag. Hindi nila ito napigilan dahil sa bilis ng pangyayari. Tinanaw lamang nila ang bawat galaw ng dalaga na tila ba walang nangyayari sa paligid.
The council are actually on getting the Quaprid down but some of them are thinking about the consequences. Hindi lamang nila ito maaring patayin dahil baka may magalit na diyos. They are planning on how to return the centipede back to its slumber. Hindi sila magkamayaw sa pag-iisip kung ano ang dapat na gawin, maraming minuto na ang nasayang nila. They want to call Aerus, hoping that he'll be able to command the Quaprid to stop and return to its abode.
"Where is Lino?" isang tinig ang sumulpot sa gitna ng pag-uusap ng konseho.
"He's on patrol," sagot ng isa sa mga konseho sa bagong sulpot.
"Creos, didn't you foresee this? I know you did but still hindi niyo pinilit na pumunta si Lino dito," seryosong saad ng bagong dating sa isang miyembro ng konseho.
"Akala namin ay naagapan na ito dahil Georgia sealed the whole arena so that any creatures will not be able to crawl in," sagot ni Creos.
"What a stupid action is that? You know that you cannot alter nor prevent the future. The only thing you can do about it is to face it at alam na alam mo iyon, Creos," mariing sagot ng bagong dating.
"Edi ikaw ang gumawa ng paraan, Gregory, puro ka dada!" sabat ng isang babaeng konseho.
"How mature is that, Rina? You all are making everyone's life here at risk and yet you're still here standing and just watching this place to go down. Takot ba kayo sa Quaprid? O, takot kayong masira ang imahe niyo sa mga diyos?" litanya ni Greg na ikinatahimik ng konseho.
"You call yourselves the council pero hindi niyo kayang gampanang protektahan ang buhay ng mga mag-aaral. Go on, pray to the gods, as if they will hear you, idiots."
Pagkatapos magsalita ni Gregory ay bigla itong naglaho.
"That son of a fuck," iritadong saad ni Creos.
"But... what does he mean?" litong tanong ng isang konseho.
"What do you mean, Arika?" tanong naman ng isa.
Their conversation was interrupted by the loud noise coming from the Quaprid.
They are now seeing the girl who jumped out from their position earlier facing the Quaprid eye to eye not even cowering.
Soon enough they heard a soft lull coming out of nowhere.
"Who's singing?" they asked.
"Damn. I'm getting dizzy," ani ng isa.
"Stupid brat! Cast a repellant spell now!" mabilis na utos ng isa sa mga konseho.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck! I can't concentrate!" malakas na sabi ng isang lalake.
"This is not your abode, creature..." Ariadne said in the middle of humming.
"You are not in the position to say that, Child."
"Hm... Are you sure?" Ariadne taunted.
Humiyaw ang nilalang at pumalibot sa dalagang kanyang kaharap.
"You dared to talk back to me? How insolent."
Unti-unting pumapalibot ang buntot ng insekto sa dalaga ngunit ang dalaga ay tila walang pakealam sa gagawin ng nilalang.
"The heavens has ceased your kind..." Ariadne sang.
Tila isang asido ang tumama sa nilalang dahil sa biglaang pagsigaw nito at pag-galaw.
