Lycanthrope
Zion

"No!" A loud voice shouted, her voice trembling as I felt darkness slowly eating my whole being. "Don't leave me, please! I love you!"

"End--"

Agad akong napadilat ng mga mata, saw myself standing inside the battleground's large circle as I looked at Belle's brown eyes, my opponent.

"Are you ready?" Selene said, her sweet voice bringing me back in reality as memories, pictures of events from my dream slowly faded away. "Fight!"

What's happening? I said as I tried to recall the name I heard from my dream. What is the name she called me?

"Are you ok?" Belle said, her hands controlling the movements of water as she looked at me with concerned eyes. "Zion?"

"D-don't mind me," I said as I tried to concentrate on my battle. "I'm fine."

"Alright then," Aniya't bumuntong-hininga. "I won't hold back."

We stared at each other's eyes, measuring  the strength of each other as she said these words.

"I love you, Zion." Sabi niya't nginitian ako. "I won't take it back." Aniya't napanganga na lamang ako nang bigla niya akong inatake ng Water Waves.

Agad akong napahilamos ng mukha, looked at Belle with an unbelievable expression and mumbled, yep. I can feel it.

Hindi na ako nag-aksaya pa ng oras, agad ko siyang inatake't nagpakawala ng Fire Balls right at her direction.

"You fire can't stand a chance against my water, Zion." Aniya kasabay ng pagtaas ng kamay, revealing a huge pack of water. "You can't burn me." Sabi niya't pinakawalan ito sa patungo sa direksyon ko.

Mabilis 'kong pinakawalan ang Fire Dragon ko, using it's strength to fly away from Belle's terrifying attack before it can drown me and attacked her with my Fire Dragon's strong Flame, melting away her water and transforming it into ashes as if it never happened.

"Sorry Belle," I said as I jumped off my Fire Dragon. "Your water won't drown me."

"I don't think so, Zion." Aniya't nagulat ako nang bigla 'kong naramdaman ang tubig na humihila sa katawan ko kasabay ng pagdala sa akin ng kaniyang Water Snake sa kalaliman ng tubig. "You're wrong."

Agad akong kumawala sa atake niya, pinalibutan ang sarili ko ng apoy at pinasiklab ito kasabay ng pag-taas ko ng kamay, just like a volcanic eruption.

"I'm sorry, Belle." Sabi ko't dinerekta sa kaniya ang apoy 'kong sa sobrang lakas ay kayang gawing abo ang lahat. "But you won't win against me."

Agad na napatakip ng mata si Belle, scared of the strong flames that was about to burn her alive as Heather raised the white flag, declaring game over.

"Zion won!" Selene announced before my flame can burn Belle. "Game over."

Nanghihinang bumagsak sa lupa si Belle, her legs suddenly transforming into a mermaid's tail as I approached her.

"I'm so tired," She said, sweating as she tried so hard to move. "Water, I-i need water."

Agad ko siyang binuhat, dinala siya sa karagatang malapit sa battleground kasabay ng paglapag ko sa kaniya sa tubig.

"Flame is the Mermaid's greatest weakness," Selene said as she stood beside me, her purple eyes looking directly at Belle's weak figure. "It was the one that destroyed them." Sabi niya't bumuntong-hininga. "Mermaids are being hunted down with fire, burning their tails and destroying their whole being."
