Third POV

Pagdating ng hapon, nagpasya sina Jorvina at Linglie na isama ang ilan sa mga Catrusian sa kanilang paglalakbay sa Dystria Island. Dalawampung Catrus na may hindi pangkaraniwang lakas, na kayang lipulin ang anumang kalaban na kanilang masasalubong.

They used a portal to make their travel easier. Everyone was separated into two groups. Jorvina and Lucky have 10 catrus, and Linglie and Zaphael have ten more.

When everyone exited the vortex, the wide ocean opened up in front of them. They must cross it to reach Dystria Island. Restricted ang pag gamit ng portal patungong Dystria Island. Hindi magamit nina Linglie at Jorvina ang portal nang diretso sa Dystria Island dahil pinipigilan sila ng spell na gawin iyon. Lucky suspected that Erra and Noah were the ones who did it in the past.

"We seem to have no choice but to cross the ocean itself. Hyden, gumawa ka ng bangka na magagamit natin." Tumango ang Catrus at sumunod sa utos ni Jorvina.

"We seem to have a long time ahead of us; perhaps we may depart this island tomorrow." Lucky sighed because of what Linglie said.

"In that case, we'll need to eat something. Why don't we walk into the forest and look for food?" Mungkahi ng dalaga. Tumango naman ang apat.

"That's a great idea; while the others are building a boat, we will look for something to eat," Jorvina faced the Catrusians, "who wants to come? We will enter the forest and look for food." Some of the women who joined them raised their hands.

Nang makapag pasya na kung sino ang sasama ay nag-umpisa na sila. May naramdamang kakaiba naman si Lucky nang pumasok sila sa kagubatan. Ang gaan ng pakiramdam ng kanyang katawan, parang lumulutang, sa kabila ng katotohanang hindi naman.

"Is there a problem, Lucky?" she looked at Zaphael when he asked a question. She frowned and immediately turned her eyes around.

"Something's off." The girl said, so everyone stopped walking.

"What? Is there a problem? I wasn't feeling anything out of the ordinary; are you okay, Lucky?" Tanong ni Jorvina, at lahat ng mata ay nasa kanya.

Lucky merely shook her head and sighed. Dahil dito, nagpatuloy sila sa paglalakad. Gayunpaman, Lucky maintained her guard and felt alert.

They were in the midst of the forest when the fog abruptly overtook them, making it impossible for them to see each other.

"Guys! Hey! Where are you?! Are you still there?!" Sumigaw si Lucky, ngunit wala siyang natanggap na tugon, na naging dahilan upang hindi siya mapalagay.

Habang si Zaphael ay tumama ang paa niya sa malaking ugat ng puno, wala siyang makita dahil sa makapal na hamog, kaya dahan-dahan siyang tumayo kahit hindi nakikita ang paligid.

"Lucky? Jorvina? Linglie? Na sa'n kayo?!"

Nang humakbang sina Jorvina at Linglie ay nag-umpugan ang kanilang mga noo dahilan para matumba sila. Minasahe ni Linglie ang kanyang noo dahil parang gawa sa bato ang ulo ni Jorvina sa sobrang tigas. That's hardly unexpected given the Catrus breeds' renowned for strength.

"What's going on? Why is the fog thick in this area?" Jorvina asked, carefully going up to the ground. She came up to Linglie and helped her stand up after clearing the dense fog.

When Linglie noticed the symbols affixed to the trees, her eyes widened.

"Hey, Linglie? Why are you so surprised?"

"This place...this jungle—I can't be wrong. "

"What do you mean? What forest is this?" Laking gulat ni Jorvina nang ipakita sa kanya ni Linglie ang simbolo nakita nito.
