I was shocked when I looked at the walls... made of water... or was it an illusion? I tried to touch the huge wall surrounding Arsamanedon and regretted it when it slowly became ice.
I stopped my powers before it could even cause a ruckus. Hindi ako pwedeng gumawa ng mali sa siyudad na ito dahil hindi ko alam ang pamamalakad at uri ng pamumuno ang nandito sa siyudad nila.
My cloak turned the shade of crystal red when I touched it and purposely changed its color. I covered my face more to avoid questions from the people. Pinigilan ko rin ang mga nyebe na bumabalot sa akin dahil ayokong mabigla ang mga mamamayan ng Arsamanedon sa aking pagdating.
I was only walking too because I didn't want to use my crystal horse.
It is my first time coming here and I shouldn't cause a scene.
Humarap ako sa kapatid ko at gumawa ng lubid na gawa sa hangin para sa aming tatlo ni Evette kung sakaling may mangyari nanaman. Hindi nila ito nararamdaman at ako lang ang nakakakita at nakakahawak rito.
And this time, I made sure that it wouldn't break.
Pumasok kami sa Arsamanedon at naglakad sa loob ng kanilang siyudad na may maraming mamamayan. Blair was walking behind me and we followed the sign which said the way to the palace.
Masaya na sana. Sana.
Ngunit isang guwardiya galing sa palasyo ang tumititig sa mukha ko at mabilis na tumakbo palayo.
"What is it this time?!" Nanggigil na tanong ko.
A portal as big as the palace gate appeared, it was made of water and it created the sound of the river. Armies from Arsamanedon went out of the portal and lined up in front of me.
Lahat sila ay may dalang espada na nakatutok sa akin. Huling lumabas ang kanilang Reyna na nakasuot ng korona.
Evette turned back to his old form and stood in front of me, making a gesture that he was protecting me. Blair was just silent but he bowed his head to give respect to the queen of Arsamanedon, while I just stood there waiting for them to make a move.
Humarap ang kanilang Reyna sa akin at bahagyang niyuko ang kanyang ulo upang magbigay respeto sa aking pagdating. "What are you doing here, ruler of Auroravale?"
Kahit na nagbigay pugay siya sa aking pagdating ay hindi pa rin nawala ang pag kwestyun niya sa pagdating ko sa kaharian nila.
"I came for a talk," sagot ko.
"Talk?" Panunuya niya sa akin.
"An offer to have your aid in the upcoming war." Diretsong sagot ko sa kanya.
Agad nabuo ang maliit na ngiti sa kanyang labi. "And what made you think that I will join the war you will face?"
"Because you should protect your people."
Agad na lumingon sa akin si Evette at Blair at binigyan ako ng naguguluhang tingin.
"Are you threatening my city, Empress of Snow?" Nanlilisik ang matang tanong niya sa akin.
I tilted my head to study her face. "I am not threatening Arsamanedon, Queen Beatrix."
"I came here for the hope that you will listen, but you greeted me with your entire army."
Her beautiful skin like chocolate glowed and her gorgeous face looked like she wanted to hear more from me. I was taller than her but she stood in front of me like the Queen she is.
"Hear me out, Beatrix. Not one city from Wistervale is safe from an unknown enemy."
"Come with me." She made a portal made of water appear from the ground and I waited for it to absorb me.
