Demoniesze's Point of View

Everything around me is complete and clean. The dome is completely fixed. Thanks to the high-tech machine! Today is the day. Ngayon napagpasyahan na naming hanapin ang hidden portal para makalabas. It's ironic that even the owners didn't know, well we have a better idea. We prepared our weapons kasi lulusong kami ngayon sa gubat and there are wild animals living in there. It's not safe but it is okay we are skilled persons. This will serves as our training.

By around eight o'clock in the morning we started searching but lf course we all stick together. Hindi pwedeng may mawawalay na isa sa amin. We are all silent. Hindi pwedeng mag-iingay kami sa pagstart ng traning operation. Tanging ang yapak lang ng aming mga paa na natatapakan ang mga dahon ang maingay.  We have a gang rule you know.

Gang Rule 12:
Silence. Silence. Silence.

It's kinda stupid but somehow I understand it's point. We should be silent in order to concentrate. How can you concentrate if there's a noise. You will only talk if it's important and necessary. Understand now?

Sa gitna ng kagubatan ay ang naglalakihang puno. It's big and massive. Don't get me wrong. The trunks are wide and it's very tall. If you don't memorize the path na nilakaran mo, probably you'll get lost.

"Stop."- we stopped at this moment. Observing the place and something that's creating a noise. By observing parang maynaglalakad rin at tumutunog ang naapakang dahon.

"awooo~"- Our eyes immediately looked at the wolves whose coming at us. There are ten of them! I must tell you that wolf is a strong animal and it has strong and sharp teeth.

Damn it! We did not run. Well what's the purpose of running if we had a weapon right? What's also the purpose of the weapons if not used? Kinuha ko ang aking daggers. Sa amin, ako lang ang nagdadala ng daggers. We only have little weapons. Maliit lang nadali namin.

The others is in my room at the mansion. Others have long ranged weapons and short ranged weapons and some poisons. Protective gear and etc!

Agad kong tinapunan iyong unang lobo. My dagger didn't stop him and it is clear in our eyes na tumama iyon sa kanyang leeg! The wolves continued running towards our direction.

Tinapunan ko ulit pero wala. Nothing happened. Instead na tumusok sa kanyang katawan e hindi. My dagger is just like floating in the air at agad na tamama sa lupa.

"Something is wrong here."- Hanzo concluded at tiningnan ng mabuti ang mga lobo. Luminga-linga kami sa paligid and something caught in our eyes.

There's a thing-like-cctv or something na nakadikit sa punuan ng talisay. It is showing a light that make the wolves appear.

Nang makalapit na ang mga lobo sa amin ay agad hinawakan ni Saber ang isa. Upon looking at it his hand is just like floating in the air at natatamaan ang light. Something triggers my mind! Tama. In forgot that we put that little machine in some trees to distract.

Tiningnan ko ang mga kapatid ko at mukhang parehas lang kami ng iniisip. Suddenly the wolves disappeared and another thing showed up. A piece of paper. There are series of number written.

31-23-51-52-35-23-32-55-51-52-42-43-31-41-41

This numbers made their head ache but mine didn't. I think I know this one but...I forgot.

"I think we should decipher this."- I am glad to have Helga. In think she didn't forget this.

"How?"- immediately the boys asked. Shai and Henna knows this but they did forgot. I close my eyes and tried to remember.

"Don't force yourselves to remember this."- ani Helga na may bahid na concern ang boses.

"Let me handle this."- she said. I let her. I don't want my head aching. May kinuha siyang wooden stick at agad nag-sulat sa lupa.

" To remind you guys. This is Bifid Cipher..."- she said at muling tumingin sa mga series of numbers.

"I don't know if this is actually the cipher but..."- napatingin ako kina Harith na mamumutla. Probably their minds have been drained off and turned haywire. I think I must laugh!

" I think it is. This cipher which combines the polybius square with transposition and uses of fractionation to achieve diffusion. Do you remember now, Sisters?"- right! I remembered. It's a combination lf Polybius Square. This was one of my fav!

But hindi ko na pinagtuonan ng pansin because it's only for detectives and we are not. Lumapit sa kanya si Vale na curious na curious.

Nakatingin siya sa sinusulat ni Helga.
"Wow!"- he exclaimed. She's done that fast? Good. "It says 'In The North Cliff'...In the north cliff?"- naguguluhan na siya.

Yes. There is a cliff in this dome at sa baba nun ay mas malalagong gubat. Lumapit kami sa kanya. Tamang-tama nga ang kanyang pagdecipher.

"How can we determine the north?"- Henna asked. We rolled our eyes at her.
"Babe we can use compass. I have a watch guys."- ani ni Harith at ngumiwi naman si Henna sa kanya. I smiled at this lovebirds.

Bumalik na kami sa training at nagseryoso na. We determined the north part at naglakad na. Hours later narating na namin ang cliff.

The cliff is breathtaking. Nagpahinga muna kami saglit sa cliff at dinama-dama ang hangin. Katabi ko si Jett ngayon at inilagay niya ang kanyang ulo sa balikat ko. I just let him. So this was the feeling huh?

" what's that sound?"- ani ni Shai at hindi mapakali. The cliff is shaking. Napatayo kaming lahat at napalayo doon.

"What is happening?"- tanong ni Saber at hinawakan ang kamay ni Shai.

" Congratulations. You all succeed. Please go to the portal in 10 9–

Pagkasabi nun ng computerized system ay nagmamadali kaming pumasok sa mala-elevator (portal). "3 2 1"- and then we closed are eyes sa matinding ilaw. Nakakasilaw. We opened our eyes and nasa school na kami.
