After hearing a terrifying prophecy about her life, Reika had to become a stronger Divian to protect herself from the looming danger. Together with her best friend Lexi, they traveled to the Capital for an apprenticeship under a Spirit Master, but e...
A ring of fire surrounded us, yet I felt a chill through my body. Seeing the winged dragon up-close scared the life out of me but Ignus' presence made it worse.
"I finally found you, Princess," he said with a taunting smile.
Trembling with fear, I leaned back to get away from him, even just a centimeter. I bumped into Ryleigh and felt his hitched breathing. When I turned around, he was in a state of shock and fear.
"R-Ryleigh?" tawag ko pero nakatulala pa rin siya. "Ryleigh . . ." With my trembling hands, I reached for his arm and finally caught his attention. Nagkatinginan lang kami pero hindi namin alam ang gagawin. Hindi namin alam kung paano siya haharapin.
I already saw him before but I still got paralyzed by his appearance. His brawny physique and raging eyes highlighted his presence, but something caught my attention. I didn't notice it before but his veins were visible, glowing like spirit particles, and seal symbols covered his entire arms up to his neck.

However, before I could tell it to Ryleigh, the dragon started to growl.
"R-Ryleigh."
"Oh, hell. This is bad. Kon! Dai kafa!"
Kon twisted his body and went down, crossing the ring of fire. Ryleigh immediately covered the both of us with his cape to protect our bodies from the fire, but the searing heat still seeped into our body. Just then, I heard a sizzling sound and before we could react, a ball of fire came roaring towards us.
I was too scared but I willed myself to move. Humarap ako kay Ryleigh at humawak sa damit niya. Napatingin naman siya sa akin pero parang wala siya sa sarili niya.
"Ryleigh!" sigaw ko. "Send him off. Now!"
Napakunot ang noo niya dahil sa sinabi ko pero wala pang isang segundo ay nakuha niya agad ang gusto kong iparating. Kumapit din siya sa akin at napapikit ako sa sobrang kaba.
"Kon, nes-sa!" he chanted and right after the incantation, Kon's physical form vanished.
Hindi ko alam kung sumisigaw ba ako o kung ano na ang nangyayari sa amin pero ramdam ko pa rin ang init sa loob ko, maging ang init ng apoy sa paligid. The ball of fire almost hit us and it burned the ends of my hair. But the bad thing is, we were falling and below us are buildings and roads.
"Sa tingin mo ba ay matatakasan mo ako?"
Kinilabutan ako no'ng marinig ko ang boses ni Ignus malapit sa akin. Agad akong dumilat para hanapin siya at lalo akong nanghina noong nakita kong lumilipad siya papunta sa amin.
"Shit, this isn't getting better!" sigaw ni Ryleigh at naramdaman ko ang pagbilis ng paghinga niya. He's getting drained because of summoning his guardians repeatedly and going into their half-animal and hybrid forms.
