Caverns of the Shunned Forest

The portal's light faded, and we found ourselves standing in front of a huge forest. The ancient trees stood tall and the twisted branches filled with leaves that rustled through the wind. A spectral mist clings to the forest floor that developed mystery and shadow.

"We are here. This forest is full of creatures but the demon bears are the ones we had to kill. I want you to stay alert no matter what the odds." wika ni Nyx.

He raised his hand and the bottle of potions appeared in front of us. He handed us three pieces each individually. With his right hand, he reached for the hood and over covering his features

Madilim ang buong paligid at tanging and liwanag mula sa buwan ang nagsisilbing ilaw sa dinadaanan namin. Nagsimula kaming pumasok sa kagubatan at nakakabingi ang katahimikan sa buong paligid dahil hindi mo alam kong may nagbabadyang panganib sa paligid. Kasunod namin sila Amirah na katulad ng ginawa ni Nyx ay nakatakip din ang kanilang mga mukha.

Nyx never let go of my hand as we walked deeper and deeper through the forest and glanced from side to side sensing if there was any danger. He stopped on his tracks when we reached the middle of the forest.

Nakaramdam ako ng kakaibang aura sa hindi kalayoan. Pinagmasdan ko ang isang bahagi ng kagubatan na may mga puno.

The sound of unfamiliar whispers grew louder but I could sense that something was lurking behind the bushes.

Suddenly, Nyx let go of my hand and summoned his weapon. He created a snowball with his left hand and threw it in the middle of the forest.

'Bakit siya nagtapon ng snowball? Anong meron?' nagugulo na sabi ko sa aking isipan.

Lumapit sa pwesto ni Nyx sina Dominic at Kairo at nilabas rin ang kanilang mga sandata. Napakunot ang noo ko ng makita silang ganoon ang kanilang ginawa.

Napatingin ako kina Amirah at napansin ang bakas na takot sa kanyang mukha.

Muli akong bumaling sa harapan at napansin ang kakaibang paggalaw ng mga puno sa hindi kalayoan. Inilabas ko ang espada ko ng marinig ang mga yabag na para bang may paparating na mga kakaibang halimaw.

Suddenly a pair of fiery crimson eyes pierced through the darkness. But it was not the only one because eight pairs of eyes glowed from a distance. Out of the shadows of the giant trees, eight demon bears emerged.

Ang mga oso ay unti-unting lulamapit patungo sa amin. Nakakapagtaka na hindi sila agad sumugod papunta sa amin. May kumokontrol kaya sa kanila?

"Dominic and Kairo, you know what to do. Amirah and Hailey take the ones on the west while Isabella sets a trap. I'll handle the two bears in front of me." bulong ni Nyx sa kanila ng mapansin na hindi umatake ang mga ito..

Si Dominic ay lumipat kina Amirah at Isabella. Si Kairo naman ay nasa tabi ko.

Hailey was holding her enchanted bow and arrow, while Isabella was holding guns. Amirah on the other hand was holding a red colored sword.

The bears' fur had unnatural energy and they had sharp claws that looked like ivory daggers. May kakaibang mga simbolo na nakaukit sa kanilang balahibo na parang umimilaw sa dilim.

Ramdam ko ang pagiging alerto ng tatlong lalaking kasama ko pati ni Hailey dahil parang anumang oras ay susugod ang mga oso.

"Kiara, take down the one from the right." he whispered. Before gazing back at the demon bear that seemed to be the leader of the group.

Napatitig ako sa oso na nasa harapan ko at napansin na mas maliit siya kaysa sa pito niyang kasama. Umaapoy ang kanyang mga mata. Umuusok ang kanyang mga ilong at anumang oras ay susugod siya sa pwesto ko.
