BINI SERIES - War on Blood | COLET

Continuation

A forbidden friendship began. Each day, Colet would sneak away from the South, crossing borders, and Y/n would find her in the Meridian Garden. They would talk for hours, sharing stories of their worlds, their dreams, and the burdens they carried as the next generation of their realms. Colet admired Y/n's strength, while Y/n found solace in Colet's boundless curiosity and kindness.

Here, the sky was always a stormy gray, but the garden held a kind of quiet beauty, a sense of peace that could not be found anywhere else in the kingdom. They were sitting on their spot under the huge Nara tree, breaking every each branches of a tree they found.

Colet, with her wild brown hair and curious amber eyes, was trying to catch a firefly that hovered just out of reach. Y/n watched her with a small smile, her own silver eyes reflecting the torchlight. For a moment, everything felt simple like it was just them and this garden, and nothing else in the world mattered.

Colet finally gave up on the firefly with a sigh, flopping back on the bench beside Sylvia. "Nahuli ko na!" she grinned, then opened her empty hand with a laugh. "Hindi pa rin talaga" Y/n chuckled softly, shaking her head.

Colet leaned back, looking up at the dark sky, her laughter fading into a thoughtful expression. "Y/n..." she began after a moment, her voice quieter now,"Sa tingin mo ba ay titigil na ang digmaan sa pagitan ng ating kaharian? Magkakaroon pa ba tayo ng kapayapaan?"

Their kingdoms were not at peace. For countless generations, the Kingdom of Wolves and the Kingdom of Vampires had been mortal enemies. The vampires desired to expand their domain, and their eyes were set on the territories of the wolves. War was imminent.

Y/n's smile faded, and she glanced away, her gaze focusing on the crimson roses nearby. She was silent for a moment, considering her answer. Finally, she spoke, her voice barely above a whisper. "Hindi ko rin alam, Colet" she admitted. "Napaka habang panahon na nang magsimula ang alitan ng iyong panig laban sa amin, mas mahaba kaysa sa buhay ng sino sa atin."

Colet nodded slowly, her expression serious. "Pero hindi naman kailangang ganito, diba? Magkaibigan tayo. Magkasundo naman tayo"

Y/n turned back to her, her silver eyes meeting Colet's amber ones. "Tayo magkaibigan..." she agreed. "Pero tayong dalawa lang iyon, Colet, hindi ang... hindi ang magkabilang panig natin. Ang ating mga bawat kasapi ay nakipaglaban sa loob ng maraming siglo, bawat panig ay naniniwala na sila ay nasa tama. Mahirap baguhin ang isang bagay na matagal na."

Colet frowned, a stubborn look crossing her face. "Pero bakit?" she pressed. "Bakit hindi natin pwedeng mabago, bakit hindi tayo magkaroon ng kapayapaan?"

Y/n sighed, her gaze softening. "Maaari pagdating ng araw," she said quietly. "Siguro balang araw magkakaroon ng kapayapaan. Ngunit hindi ito isang bagay na mangyayari dahil lang kagustuhan natin. Kakailanganin ito ng oras... at maraming lakas ng loob."

Colet looked down, her fingers playing with the hem of her tunic. "Sana ngayon nalang mangyari iyon," she muttered."Sana... sana hindi na natin kailangang magtago ng ganito. Na maaari tayong malaya, hindi nababahala kung sino man ang makakakita o maari nilang sabihin."
