KINGDOM OF EUFRATA
Eufrata Battle Grounds

It was early in the morning, the Royals are already up for their massive training. Hindi basta-basta ang training sa Eufrata, ngunit walang maririnig na reklamo sa mga Maharlika dahil desidido rin ang mga itong matuto.

Mapapansin ang pagiging hindi komportable ng Prinsesa. The Princess has been spacing out for days, tila ba may malalim itong iniisip. Iniwan niya ang mga lalaking nag-eensayo sa ground at piniling maupo sa ilalim ng puno. Hindi siya makapag-concentrate, mas gusto niyang mag-ensayo kung focused siya. There's something bothering her, she couldn't find answers. Maybe, hindi niya pa nahahanap ang libro tungkol sa nangyari sa kaniya. It's been hunting her, like, what the hell happened?

"You okay?"

Elysian stared at the guy paving his fast pace all the way to her. Damon was always concerned to her and she's thankful for that. He left Van and Damien battling at the center for her.

"I had this weird dream." Walang paligoy-ligoy na sagot ni Elysian.

Damon sat beside her, "What do you mean, Princess?"

"About my summo."

"Oh, did you already get along with your Basilisk? I've been trying to train with the serpents, they're getting stronger everyday. It's really fun, I feel like I'm getting better everyday as well." Maaliwalas na kwento nito, "I'm sure you're getting along with your summo, ikaw pa ba."

Elysian just smiled, "Yeah... it's just that... it's really weird, y'know. I woke up really tired, it's as if my summo has been summoned. Mukhang galing sa isang sabak ang Basilisk ko, I really don't understand but when I tried to call my Basilisk that day, it looks...exhausted." Aniya at huminga ng malalim, "It doesn't feel right, para bang may humiram o tumawag sa summo ko. Is that possible?"

This is so new to her, wala pa siyang nalaman na naka encounter na ganito. Is it possible na mahiram ang summo? Kung ganoon, sino ang humiram? Paano? Bakit?

"What?" Maging si Damon ay nalito na rin, "I have no idea, I mean...baka pagod lang iyong Basilisk mo o wala sa mood mag ensayo. Ganoon din ang mga summo ko, kapag wala sa mood hindi ko napipilit mag ensayo at para bang galing sa gyera kung umasta."

"I see... baka nga." Tumango-tango pa ang Prinsesa, but inside she's not satisfied and she's more curious now, "But it was really weird. I've been reading books about summos and so far wala pa akong nabasang nahihiram ang summo or nasusummon ng iba."

"Maybe it's possible, Princess."

"What do you mean?" Tuluyan nang napalingon si Elysian kay Damon.

"If you have the connection with that person, maybe it's possible. For example, you and Van, your connection as siblings is so strong. He could tame or use your summo if you allow it, right?"

"I don't...know. Pero kung posible yan, sino namang kadugo ko ang manghihiram ng Basilisk ko? I don't think my parents or even Van would bother to borrow my Basilisk."

Damon shrugged, "I have no idea."

Silence filled the ambiance for a moment. Sandali pang nag-isip si Elysian at malaya naman siyang hinayaan ni Damon.

Bakit kaya ganoon? At bakit hindi niya mapigilang mag-isip? Baka nagkataon lang. Kung nahiram ang Basilisk niya, ibig sabihin ay may posibilidad na makuha ito ng tuluyan sa kaniya? That Basilisk has been her companion since she discovered it living in her subconscious. Napag-alaman niyang ganoon din si Damon habang sina Van at Damien ay wala pang mga summo.

The guys keeps on saying that it was because of that girl.

"Ey, training time!" Sigaw ni Damien.

Sumagot naman si Damon, considering Elysian's condition, "We've been training day and night, pahinga naman."

Umiling-iling ang Prinsipe, "Nah, training time."

"Okay, Prince!" Agad na sagot ni Damon. Of course, walang sinuman ang pwedeng kumontra sa Prinsipeng iyon. Mahal na mahal nila ang magkapatid na Magnate-Caesar. Ayaw lang talagang sumunod ni Damon kay Damien and vice versa, that's how their sibling relationship works.

Lumingon si Damon kay Elysian, "We have to go. Anuman 'yon, 'wag mo ng alalahanin. As long as you're alright, it doesn't matter. It happens, alright? You can call me anytime if it goes bad, okay?"

Tumango na lamang ang Prinsesa, "Thanks..." She received a soft pat from Damon, she just smiled. Damon was always sweet to her, hindi na iyon bago. It's a natural interaction between them.

"Let's go..."

Tumayo na rin si Elysian, just when she was about to walk, that girl flashed in her mind again.

Just what the hell happened? Wait, first of all, how did she get that summo? That kid...that one who sealed her the Basilisk...who the hell is that kid? That girl the sovereigns were after, that one little girl who feels like...

"Elysian!"

Tuluyan nang ininda ng Prinsesa ang kaniyang iniisip at nagpatuloy sa paglalakad upang mag-ensayo, "Coming!"

Nevermind, she needs to train harder. She needs to focus on training, maybe it was all just a coincidence and she's just overthinking. She'll have to beat Van, and they'll be traveling from places to one another sooner. She needs to focus on growing. There's nothing to worry, she got everyone with her, what's there to fear?
