Sienna Astra's POV

I'm getting tired. 

Time flew by so quick, it was already three in the afternoon. We already found Luke's familiar. It was a small bird with colorful feathers. Okay na din yung familiar ni Cret. Maamo na ito at nakikihalubilo sa kanila at sa kapwa familiar. I'm happy to see them enjoying their lives with their new partners.

Sa akin at kay Zero nalang ang kulang.

After walking for almost an hour, we finally found a place to camp. It didn't look better as the previous one, but I know it's safe and good. After namin itayo yung tent, I grabbed the book that Ms. Lea gave us.

Book Of Familiar Servers

I touched the Dream Academy's Emblem to unlock it. Then, I turned the page to find some information about the jade eyes dog, purple fox, and a colorful bird.

Marami pang nakalagay tungkol sa familiar na 'to but I don't have much time to read all of them at isa pa't si Cress ang dapat mag-basa nito. I continued flipping the pages until I reach one of the pages I needed to see. Next familiar I found was Cret's.

Sa gitna ng pagbabasa ng mga natitirang familiar na napag-tunguan ko ng pansin, nakaramdam ako ng kaunting antok kaya naman napag-desisyunan kong itabi muna ang libro at matulog ng kaunti.

I was about to close the book when the wind turned the pages as if the wind itself was trying to find something in the book. And one page caught my attention.

Sky Lupus

Type: Rare

It is known to be the rarest among the rare familiars. Sky lupus is also known to be the progenitor's best friend from a long time ago. It could run and move as fast as the light. Witnesses say that this familiar could also fly as high as the birds....

It looks like a—

"Sienna, patrolling daw and food hunting kayo ni Zero." Cress informed as she sneaks her head inside our tent. I nodded to her as a response. I closed the book and put it inside my backpack. I sighed when I realized that I didn't get to sleep even for a bit. I went outside my tent and started looking for Zero.

I saw him leaning on a tree, smirking. Really? What's up with him?

He formed his fist as I walked closer to him. Fist-bump.

Since I was in a good mood, I did what he wanted us to do. But as soon as my fist touched his, a flash of light ate my vision.

"NO!!!" I pushed him to save him from getting hit.

"SIENNA!!!" I heard Cretania scream.

I screamed in pain and agony. 

What really hurt me wasn't the hit I got, but the main thing that hurt me the most is the face of the girl who did that.

"Are you okay?" I came back to reality when Zero tapped my shoulder and asked if I'm okay.

What the heck was that?

"Yeah.... Let's go, it's getting dark." I answered. He was hesitant at first, but eventually started walking again.

Then when we were in the middle of walking he asked me again about what happened earlier. I frowned at him before answering. Ayokong balikan kung ano man ang karumaldumal na nakita ko sa saglit na oras na yon. Hinahunting lang ako ng guilt ko. Oo, tama. Yun na lang yon.

"I said, nothing." He just shrugged, causing me to sigh. I guess there's no point of hiding such stupid thing. I stopped walking so did he. He faced me and frowned, "Alright, just promise me you won't laugh." He grinned mischievously.

"Depends." I rolled my eyes because of what he said. What should I expect from Mr. Jerk? 

I don't have a choice dahil this thing will keep me up all night, anyways. I need to tell this to someone whom I could trust or kahit kanino basta mabawasan lang yung pangangamba ko.

"I had a..... I guess...... A short vision." I said between my deep breaths. His face became serious. "Me, pushing you. I almost died and— and I— I saw her." my eyes didn't hold much longer. It released a warm liquid I didn't even intend to invite. I'm crying and I don't know why. This stupid eyes needs to cooperate especially whenever I'm in front of him. 

The guy in front of me didn't say anything, instead— he pulled me closer to him and imprisoned me with a tight hug.

I don't know if my explanation of what had happened wa understandable.

I didn't fight from his embrace, I just let him. I need this. I need his comfort even though I really despise cheesy things like this. I'll let him. Just for now.

Just for this time.

We stayed like that for I don't know how long and remained quiet. The only thing you'll hear were my sobs. I could actually stay like this. I feel safe and free from every haunted thoughts.

The sacred silence was broken by the magic watch. It was in half gold and half red steady light. The only thing entered my mind was, 

His familiar.

The strongest general's familiar is nearby.
