She's having an early morning meal with her Inang and Amang. Everyone are busy with their roles and routines.

"How's your training, Elara?" Malambing na tanong ng kanyang Inang.

She raised her head and smile at her Inang.

"Mabuti po, Inang." Magalang na sabi niya.

"Aalis kame ng Amang mo. May pagpupulong kame ng Ethereal Council. Baka sa susunod na araw pa kame babalik ng iyong Amang." Sabi nito at nginitian siya.

"Para saan po?" Tanong niya ulit.

"It's nothing." Umiling pa ito sa kanya habang nakangiti.

Kahit hindi sabihin ng Inang niya ay alam niya tungkol iyon sa mga nawawalang tao sa magkaratig-bayan. Naririnig niya din sa ibang elves na inatake ang Eldoria. Ang Eldoria ang kaharian ng mga griffins.

Hindi na siya sumagot at tumango na lamang. Her parents, as much as possible, keep her uninformed about what's happening outside the barrier. She doesn't like the feeling being left out. She feels like she's useless and needs protection.

"Waya will be with us." Her Amang stated. "Kailangan mo pa rin magtraining kahit wala siya dito." Tumango siya ulit.

"Amang..." Tawag niya sa attention nito.

Paano ba niya sasabihin na gusto niyang sumama kay Vesto sa pagkuha ng impormasyon sa Lira?

"Amang, magpapaalam sana ako kung papayagan niyo akong sumama kay Vesto sa Lira?" Napalunok siya ng makita ang paghigpit ng hawak nito sa kubyertos.

"Sa Lira..." Madiing sabi nito. "You know what's that place, Elara?" Tiningnan siya ng diretso sa mata ng ama.

Umiling siya dito.

"It's a deadzone, Elara. The vampires took control of the area." He said. "Only the few survives in that area."

Napalunok siya ulit dahil sa narinig. Is that how bad the area is? She didn't know the details. She only heard about it from Vesto after her training with him.

"They're not just any vampires. They're from Noctrisrealm." Mariing sabi nito.

The Noctrisrealm Coven. She heard stories about them. I've read about them. Her father is correct. The vampires in Noctrisrealm are not just any vampires. They are the royalties. Their rulers are full-blooded vampires. They're lineage is from the ancient vampires. The strongest and the originals.

Their ancestors are fighting with them million years ago. Her father was fatally injured when he encountered a royalty from the Noctrisrealm. The strongest man in their kingdom is at spar with them.

"Just stay here, Elara. It's much safer here especially that we don't have the full details about this." Her mother said in a sooting voice.

Ngumiti siya ng pilit dito at tumango. When they finish having breakfast, nagpaalam sa kanya ang mga magulang. Hinatid niya sa labas ang mga ito at hindi na siya pinayagan na makalabas sa barrier.

She entered her room immediately. Liwayway comb and braided her hair. After Liwayway done playing her hair, she change he dress. She wear her long wavy white dress.

"Elara, are we sneaking out again?!" Liwayway asked her almost whispering.

"Oo, Liwayway. Doon lang naman tayo sa talon pupunta!" Sabi niya dito. "Sige na. Maliligo lang tayo. Malapit lang 'yon dito diba?" Pamimilit niya dito.

Liwayway raised her eyebrow at her. She looked at her while crossing her arms in her chest. She stopped herself from smiling because of her cuteness.

"Sige! Basta bumalik tayo agad." Sabi nito at nauna ng lumipad.
