"I've been here before." Sabi ko sakanya. It was the same as before, the lake and vines... may maliit na grass. "Paano tayo nakapunta dito? At ganon pa kabilis? Isn't this located in a cave?"

"Nope." Agad na sagot ni Llios habang nakahiga parin. "This is my secret place pag bored ako." Secret place? Huh? Tiningnan ko naman yung passage kung saan ako una pumasok.

Pero it was covered by a wall now at mga vines. It's like it didn't even exist, "Paano ka nakakalabas dito if ever?" he looked at me and smiled.

"It has something to do with my arcana little princess. Ang lugar na ito ay hindi nage-exits kahit saan, it was created by... me." Nag hesitate siya sa last part, it's like he didn't make this

But I could be wrong dahil wala naman akong alam, it's just pure observation. "Paano...paano ito lumitaw sa kweba? I swear I saw this in the cave."

"Hmmmm... a specific person can enter this cave, only that person can enter except the one who created it." Sagot niya at mas lalo tuloy akong na confused.

Minsan kasi walang kwentang kausap to si Llios, he speaks in riddles and spits words na wala namang connect sa tanong ko...

Or maybe I didn't pay attention enough pero grabe naman yan. "Dito kita unang nakita! You're in the lake tapos... ano." Hindi ko na tinuloy dahil ang awkward sabihin.

"Ano, little princess? Go on, ipagpatuloy mo." This time ay umupo na rin siya, he was smirking now. Inirapan ko nalang siya, he's teasing me again. "I'm waiting-

"Nakahubad ka ok!? Naked!!!" inis na sigaw ko sakanya at tinawanan niya naman ako, he really sounds like Hellion pero hindi ko pa naman nakita yun tumawa.

"Well I just emerged from... nevermind." Nagtaka naman ako dahil hindi niya tinapos ang sasabihin niya. Whatever, he's always been mysterious pero hindi naman ako nag mind.

"Oh I did notice na grabe yung pagtitig saakin little princess, are you some kind of pervert?" napa-make face tuloy sako sa sinabi niya... pervert niya mukha niya.

"Nakatitig ako dahil yung mukha mo, super parehas talaga kay Prince Hellion ok?" I answered him while rolling my eyes.

"Oh???" sarap niyang sampalin ulit. Sana hindi ko na hineal kanina yung pisngi niya. "Other people didn't seem to think so though."

Napaisip naman ako sa sinabi niya and he was right. Everyone around me didn't seem to see what I see. Actually nagtanong tanong ako kina Aurora at Astral tungkol sa features ni Llios.

They said may itim na buhok, pero iba daw ang kulay ng mata niya. Even his face doesn't match prince Hellion daw, ako lang ang nakakakita non.

Nagbiro pa nga si Aurora tungkol doon eh. She said maybe I liked Hellion too much pati kasi daw sa isang good-looking kuno na katulad ni Llios ay si Hellion parin ang iniisip o nakikita ko.

Napatitig tuloy ako sa itim na buhok niya. It literally looked the same as Hellion's hair, his nose, his eyes literally everything.

Sayang lang hindi ko nakita yung katawan ni Hellion without robes you know. Hindi ko macompare yung katawan nila-

"You're staring at my body again." Halos mabulunan ako sa sarili kong laway. "You must've really like men with muscles." (If you know Sylus from 'Love and Deepspace', ganon po yung katawan ni Llios)

Tinaasan ko naman siya ng kilay, "Maka men naman to, si Prince Hellion nga lang ang nagustuhan ko..." pero yung biceps talaga eh.

Si Llios kasi nowadays ay mahilig magsuot na ng sleeveless shirts with turtle necks (can be turned into a mask btw) tapos masikip pa sakanya.

"Atsaka I was just imagining kung ganyan din ba kalaki ang biceps ni Prince Hellion." walang ganang dagdag ko dahil ini-imagine ko padin.

Sadly prince Hellion is always covered, kahit sobrang init eh covered parin yung mucles niya. ""

"Ako ang kasama mo tapos iba ang nasa isip mo, my feelings are hurt you know." One thing about Llios din is napaka-affectionate niya.

Hindi siya nahihiyang ishow yung feelings niya, hindi naman ako manhid lalo na't harap harapan niya akong ginanito.

"You are overreacting." (OA ka daw Llios, napaka OA mo. Don ako sa nonchalant gaiss sainyo na ang OA na lalakeng to -Queen A.M)

I rolled my eyes heavenwards pero nginusuhan niya lang ako at inirapan. Napabuntong hininga naman ako at naglakad lakad muna dahil di na ako pinansin ni Llios.

He was sulking like a child atsaka di ako marunong mag comfort. As I was exploring this small space na may lake, may nakita akong bulaklak.

Nag-iisa lang siya and it looks so pretty. Syempre nilapitan ko sabay hawak don sa bulaklak, it was color white pero pagkahawak ko ay naging itim ito.

Nagtaka naman ako so I retracted my hand tapos pumuti ulit ito. Hindi ko nalang ito hinawakan ulit, baka iitim na naman ang kulay.

It was a nice looking flower though. Hindi ko madesribe ng maayos cause it's just so mesmerizing. Aalis na sana ako para balikan si Llios.

But I heard a snap so I turned around, yung bulaklak ay nawala at napalitan ng maliit na amulet na hugis bulaklak. "Huh?"

Napakamot tuloy ako ng ulo, kinuha ko nalang ito para ipakita kay Llios. "Llios, I found this flower amulet don malapit sa may puno-"

Inirapan niya lang ako. Ah he's still sulking... "Ok sorry, gusto mong... um... humiga sa lap ko? It can be your pillow?" wala kasi akong maisip.

Agad naman siyang napatingin sakin, lumiwanag ang mukha niya like a puppy getting a treat. So ayon pinagbigyan ko na, kailangan ko din kasing malaman kung ano tong nakita ko.

"A flower amulet?" napaisip naman siya sabay shrug. He's crossing his arms while laying in my lap. "Wala naman akong napansin na amulet or any sort of flower dito."

"In fact wala ngang flower sa lugar nato." Pinakita ko sakanya yung nakita ko, he was just observing it. "It looks beautiful, you should keep it."

"Anong keep it? Eh hindi nga to sakin-"

"Just keep it, it might help you one day." Grabe yung confusion ko today. Andaming ganap at super mysterious pa, what is happening? Hindi ko na muna sinabi sakanya ang nangyari.

"It's time for us to go little princess." Nagtaka naman ako sa sinabi niya and he snapped his fingers. Bumalik na kami sa kung saan kami kanina...

~~~~~(Short Third Person's POV)~~~~~

Someone from afar is glaring intensely, Llios could feel the blo0dlust from above the tree. As the little princess was busy laughing, Llios was busy smirking.

"That b@stard." Someone whispered.
