"To others, he's a villain but to mine, he's a hero, perhaps, from a novel that was never written in a tale which no one knows.
Our story."

"Impostor? Impostor?!" Dominique yelled and when no one answered her anymore, she furiously throwed the hourglass— the communication magic item away.

"Ano 'yon?!" rinig niyang sambit ng mga kasama niya sa Institute dati na ngayo'y tinalikuran na siya.

Dali-dali niyang kinuha ang katawan ng hari at reyna na hanggang ngayon ay dala-dala pa rin niya at sinira ang bintana saka lumipad palayo.

She flew at lightning speed all the way to the place where she believed the king and queen will be safe once they knew the truth, Heathcliff.

But if someone else from their side is under dark magic too, then let the goddess decide their fate as she can't continue carrying the queen and king anymore.

She was flying when she bumped into someone in mid-air.

Nahulog ang dala-dala nitong libro kaya ginamit niya ang hangin para liparin ito pabalik.

"Nicolis?" gulat niyang tanong ng makilala ito.

Pero . . .

Tila walang narinig ang lalaki at nakatulala lang sa kawalan.

She knew he's also treated as a criminal now for saving Elizabeth who attempted to save her, which makes him an ally.

"Hey!" Hindi niya na napigilang batukan ito.

Saka lang ito natauhan at gulat na gulat na napatingin sa kaniya. "L-Lady Dominique?!"

"You dropped this," sambit niya sabay bigay kay Nicolis ng libro. "Why are you here? You should be hiding."

Kumunot nalang ang noo niya nang bigla nitong tinago ang libro sa likod nito saka nagsalita. "Anastasia, where is she?"

There is something strange in his eyes that she can't pinpoint what. Something changed.

Napatingin tuloy siya sa libro. It doesn't have any written title which means it's a blank book where anybody can write on.

Like a journal, perhaps.

"Lady Dominique?"

Nabaling ulit ang tingin niya sa binata. "Are you sure you're not imbued with dark magic?"

"Yes," seryosong sagot nito.

"The victims don't realize they're victims until it's too late, Nicolis," she warned.

"I said I don't!" singhal nito. "Nasaan siya? I have to stop the two from seeing each other again, he'll kill her like before!"

Takang napatingin si Dominique sa kaniya. "Like before?"

Hundreds of conclusions and conspiracies swirled her mind like a hurricane of maddening thoughts.

Natahimik si Nicol bago nagsalita. "M-My sister... she can see the future in dreams.  She just told me." Nanginginig ang mga labi nito. Kakagaling lang nito sa bahay nila ng palihim. Doon nito nakausap ang kapatid. "She told me our time was already turned back once... and that Heinzal killed Anastasia in that time."
