AIRA

We were summoned early in the morning to the office. This time we are gathered around the long table inside the conference room.

"Our accomplice already confirmed the situation in Caucacus. The citizens are jailed in their houses. May mga nagbabantay na dark summoners sa bawat bahay at pagala-gala din ang dark creatures sa siyudad. Some dark creatures are attacking individuals so everyone were stocked in their homes. Marami sa kanila ang ilang araw nang hindi nakakakain. Hindi pa malinaw sa ngayon ang pakay nila. But it seems like their planning to kill the people by starving them to death so they could use their souls." mahabang paliwanag ni Mama sa lahat. Everyone's serious mode is turned on. They have their determined expressions turned on except for me. My brows were creased and I've been biting my lips to direct my nervousness.

"What are they planning to do with their souls?" takang bulong ko. Maia is the one to turn her gaze at me.

"You see, these underworld creatures are collecting souls to add up the population of evil souls residing in the underworld. The more evil souls the more they have energy to consume since their power is driven from the negative energy emitted by evil souls." pabulong ding paliwanag nito. Napakurap kurap na lang ako at napaawang aking mga labi. How could they do that?

"All you have to do is to shoo away the dark summoners and dark creatures in the area. Kailangan siguraduhin niyong walang masasaktang mamamayan. If possible to catch a summoner, bring them to Granius." Mama continued.

"Well save them." Jay said firmly. Sabay-sabay naman kaming tumango bilang pagsang-ayon. We are all determined to save the people from those creatures. Well make sure that they'll be freed.

"Let's meet each other in front of the gate in ten minutes." with that we stood up and rushed to our dorms to prepare ourselves for mission.

Maia told me to pack daggers she actually gave me a belt were we can put our daggers. We wore battle suits and cloaks with the academy's crest then we're headed to the gate.

"The winged horses were now ready. There are only five horses, eight of you will have to ride by pairs." paliwanag ni mama na ngayon ay nasa unahan namin.

Napatingin ako sa bandang likod niya at kita ko ang limang puting kabayo na mayroong pakpak na tila kumikinang pa. It wore it's wonderful long mane which looks prettier than my hair. I suddenly felt envious.

"Aira, you'll go with jay. I know you're bad in riding horses." napakunot naman ang noo ko sa sinabi ni mama. Ngising ngisi ito habang nakatingin sa amin. I'm not bad at riding horses! Its just that I'm not just good at riding them.

"Proceed." agad naman akong natauhan at nakita kong lahat sila nakasakay na samantalang ako na lang ang natitirang nakatanga.

Dahil dun napilitan akong sumakay sa likod ni Jayden. Magkasama sina Maia at Au, si Nathan at Lucy at si Gray at Zayn panay ang tulakan at tila diring diri pa sa posisyon nila dahil pareho silang lalaki. Mag-isa naman si Alexis.

Nauuna ang kinasasakyan nila Au dahil siya ang may alam kung paanong makakapunta sa Granius. Our winged horses started running before slowly flapping their wings until we were able to fly. I immediately closed my eyes when I felt us leaving the ground.

Napahigpit ang brasong nakapulupot sa akin dahil sa nararamdaman kong bugso ng hangin at maging ang naririnig ang pagpagaspas ng pakpak. I didn't wanna open my eyes.

"What the hell are you doing Aira?" dinig kong saad ng boses ni Maia.

"Let her be. She's still adjusting."
