The Enchantress of Snow (Delaney Series #1)

Chapter 34: An Attack

An Attack

"Your Majesty, you have a guest," the guard said when me and the queen went out of the vault.

Queen Ariela looked at him. "Who?"

"Lord Ambrose,"

Napatigil ako sa pag banggit ng pangalan ng ninuno ko. "Come on, Eira, I'd like you to meet my friend," the queen told me.

I quietly followed the queen on her way out, when we reached the throne room, there stood the man before my existence, he looked young and powerful too.

Sandaling tumigil ang tingin niya sa akin ng makita niya ako sa tabi ng reyna at ginilid ang kanyang ulo na tila ba kinikilatis ako.

"Oh, this is Eira," pagpapakilala nito sa akin.

"Maligayang araw," malaki ang boses niya ngunit malumanay pakinggan. I feel like I was looking at my father.

"M-maligayang, araw," I stuttered.

A smile formed in his lips and it made his eyes glisten. "Are you busy, Your Majesty?" baling niya sa reyna.

"I'm just giving Eira a tour of the palace," umupo siya sa kanyang trono. "Is there something you want to talk about?" hindi sumagot si Ambrose. "It's okay, Eira is a friend."

"The crystal has been glowing since yesterday, Your Highness," panimula niya. "I fear that it may be because of... something."

The crystal? My crystal? Tahimik lamang akong nakikinig sa kanila, hinihintay ang pagsagot ng Reyna. "Hmm..." The queen put her hand on her chin. "Baka may nararamdaman ang crystal, Ambrose. Hayaan mo, hindi makakapinsala ang crystal."

Sabay kaming napatigil nang may marinig kaming malakas na tunog sa labas ng palasyo. A part of the palace wall broke apart and then it fell to the ground. "My King!"

With the Queens' voice shouting her king, the guards all went to one room to check the kings' well-being. While Ambrose ran outside to check what was happening.

"Eira!" napalingon ako kay Percival nang makita ko siyang tumatakbo patungo sa akin. "The palace is under attack!" hinawakan niya ang braso ko para alalayan ako.

"We need to help," kalmado kong sabi at tumango naman si Percival.

Wala na kaming oras dahil malakas talaga ata ang kalaban dahil paglabas namin ay buong Wistervale ay sobrang layo na sa una naming nakita noong una kaming makarating rito. It was on fire and some huge rocks were thrown over a house.

Ang ilang parte ng palasyo ay nagiba na rin ng mga kalaban at nilalamon na ng apoy. Nakita ko si Ambrose na nakikipaglaban kaya agad akong tumakbo sa direksyon niya upang tulungan siya.

"Hindi ko alam kung saan ka galing, ang hiling ko lang ay wag mong baguhin ang hinaharap,"

"Let what's supposed to happen here, happen."

I heard the queen's voice behind my head.

Kahit hilingan niyang hindi ako tumulong ay gagawin ko pa rin dahil hindi ko kakayanin na manood na lamang.

Some enemies found their way inside the palace, Ambrose, Percival, and I were busy fighting with the guards.

"We need to protect the queen!" Percival said while he was choking a man who turned like a rotten corpse without even one minute.

Hindi muna ako sumagot sa kanya at sinaksak muna ang lalaking akmang saksakin ang mukha ko. I don't know why, but a part of me doesn't want to use my powers because I am the first and only person who can manipulate snow. Baka lalong makagulo.
