Skies Heart II: Secrets [Completed]

Chapter XXII: When the enemy steps

Napatayo bigla si Sehire ng imulat ni Kria ang mga mata nya. Panic was never on his dictionary kaya pinaupo nya muna iyon ng ayos at pinunasan ang tumatagaktak na malamig na pawis na muka ni Kria ng nakahanda nyang bimpo. Nang mapansing nahimasmasan na ng kaunti ang kaibigan sa panginginig nya ay sunod sunod agad ang tanong na sinambit nya doon, na sinagot naman ni Kria isa isa ng matapos nya inumin ang tubig na iniabot sa kanya ng kaibigan.

"So Ayisha was actually fine, and Sora now knew what's currently happening here." Tumango si Kria at binigyan ng matamis na ngiti ang kaibigan. "I owe you Sehire. I know you're the one who sent that message to Elune and Sora." Sehire is so glad that he succeeded in doing something he thought was impossible. If it did not, then maybe Kria was really in big trouble right now. Soul Taxidi is really dangerous.

"It was Sasha's idea though." Napatigil saglit si Kria at napalinga linga ng mapansing hindi na kasing dami ng tao ang nasa kwartong kinalalagyan nila. Napansin agad ni Sehire ang nilinga ng mata ng kaibigan kaya sinagot na din nya iyon. "They met up with some enemies while finding Sora. Sasha and Yussen that is, while Tray is still on the hunt."

Bahagyang nanlaki ang mata ni Kria sa narinig. "What other things did I missed?" Napabuntong hininga muna si Sehire bago nagsimula. Sinumulan nya sa oras na nakaharap ng kaibigan nya ang mga pwersa mula sa Krous, walang pang ilang minuto ay nagsimula na din ang mahinahong pag-evacuate ng mga mamamayan ng Avillo City sa Moani sa tulong ng iba pang grupo na natira mula sa Level 2. The council then set the forest between Moani and Avillo, where Sasha is currently fighting, the Avillo City, where their team was the only ones left, the forest next to it, where Tray was last located, and the land where Miskeif's castle is located, where Giya's team where heading into, as the dangerous points of the Island. The council members are doing their last preparation to march into the mission to kill the Morcefs, for the judgement bestowed upon them proves that there's an enough evidence beyond reasonable doubt that they betrayed the whole world by their actions inciting to a world chaos. Sehire did not explain further how and what other circumstances Vipie told him are present, he knew Kria would never be interested. 

"So fires fuel up while I was unconscious." She seems a little disappointed, but then worried. 

Sehire doesn't know what to say, his brain was still caught up in the image of Yussen holding Kria whose life is in danger. Somehow, that scenario feels so familiar, must be something that his imagination disrupted that would happen sooner or later. "Kria..." mahinang bulong noon habang nakatingin sa kaibigan nyang hinahaplos ang buhok ni Ayisha. 

"Why don't you just let him know?" Magsasalita pa sana si Vipie para sumingit sa katahimikan ng dalawa pero napatigil din iyon sa kakaibang bagay na naman na namumutawi sa usapan. 

Kria remains silent while avoiding eye contact. 

"If you think it's to save him from suffering, then you're perfectly crushing him into it." Kria grips her palm tight and jumps up from bed. "DON'T leave Ayisha here all alone." Sehire did not had the energy and time to protest, when he looked back, the Mortal Queen already jumped off from the window. 

He wryly sigh and faces their youngest friend whose still sleeping calmly. Somehow, knowing she's fine lightens up his head. "When you fall inlove, I hope you could just be honest." He's almost begging while thinking about the complicated brains of Sora and Kria. 

Napabagal sa pagtakbo nya si Kria ng marinig sa mentalidad nya ang boses ni Sehire. Another thing happens to the communications and Sehire forgot to told her about it. Now he's talking to their sleeping comrade with every words that must be dedicated for her. 

"Kria and Sora thought keeping their secrets would be the best decision, but they're just running away don't you think? Tray and Yussen too are such cowards for their unspoken confessions." Napabuntong hininga na lang ulit si Sehire bago narinig ang malamlam na pag o-out ni Kria sa linya nya.
