Snowflakes

Third Person's POV

It was already midnight when the Oracle council reached the middle of the forest. Everything was dark and lightning flashed through the clouds as rain started to pour.

Umihip ang hangin at lumakas ang ulan kasabay ng paggalaw ng mga puno na para banag sumasayaw sa hangin. Patuloy ang pag takbo nila habang ang paglitaw ng mga halimaw na sumalubong sa kanila ay hindi nawawala.

Some of them were exhausted but a lot of demons appeared. The levels of the demons were 20 to 50.

Si Nyx ang mabilis na sumugod sa mga halimaw na nakasalubong kasama sina Kairo at Dominic. Ang apat na babae naman ay tumulong din sa pagpatay ng mga demonyong iyon.

They killed a lot of monsters and each of them are running out of mana. Various types of demons chased after them. Their cloaks are tainted with green blood and everything turns into a bloodbath. The more they ran through, the woods the more demons followed them.

"How much further until we reached that mountain?" tanong ni Kairo kay Nyx.

Nyx glanced at his crystal watch as he continued to run.

"Almost but we still have to cross the river." wika niya.

Nakakunot ang noo ng dalawang lalaki. Wala silang makita na kahit ano maliban na lang sa mga puno na nakapalibot sa kanila. Madilim rin ang buong paligid at maputik ang kanilang dinadaanan. Ang kapal na hamog ay isa ring hadlang sa kanilang paghahanap ng daan. Malakas rin ang ingay na ginagawa ng mga halimaw na sumusunod sa kanila.

"I can't see anything and it's impossible that there is a river in the middle of the forest." wila naman ni Dominic.

Hindi na pinansin ni Nyx ang kanilang sinabi at bumaling sa likuran. Napansin niya na iba't-ibang klase ng mga demonyo ang sumusunod sa kanila.

'This doesn't seem right. The demons don't team up together with some other clans. Which means we're getting close to the Dragon's lair.' he thought to himself.

The demons growled and echoed through the forest. The boys were ahead while the girls were a few meters away from them.

Amirah continued to run despite the wound on her arm. Hailey helped Isabella to kill the demon that ran towards her. Kiara continued to look around in order to warn her comrades of anything suspicious and used her ability.

"This is the reason why I hate missions outside when it rains. You can't see anything and your clothes will smell so bad." reklamo ni Hailey.

Dead corpses of demons scattered along their way but the number of monsters that chased after them are a lot. Despite the storm they managed to continue until Nyx stopped on his tracks and so did the boys.

Tumigil sila sa isang malawak ng ilog. Nagulat ang dalawang lalaki habang ang mga babae ay naghahabol ng hininga. Malakas ang pag ragasa ng tubig sa ilog dahil sa bagyo.

"You've got to be kidding me," wika ni Kairo na parang gulat na gulat sa nakita.

"How are we going to cross this river with this kind of storm?" dismayadong sabi naman ni Dominic.

Napatitig si Isabella at Amirah sa ilog at napalunok sa sobrang kaba. Si Hailey naman ay bumaling sa kanyang likuran. Nanlaki ang mata niya ng makitang marami na ang mga halimaw na papalapit sa kanila.

"U-uhm, guys I think you might wanna turn around. This is not good for all of us." nautal na wika ni Hailey.

Tumingin sila sa likod nila at tama nga ang sinabi ji Hailey. Dahan-dahang lumapit sa kanila ang mga halimaw dahilan para sila ay paatras.
