Spring

"Spring Greenleaf, Snowflakes Frosteir and Whirlwind Fujinn, I need to talk to the three of you."

We're about to go but we heard the Baron's words. Some of them hesitated, like Mashveil and Shihira, of leaving us. And some just got curious eyes like Raisha. But they all heed to the Baron's orders.

I watched as they all walk through the huge door. They all have this questions in their faces but they are determined to get the cure for the heiress.

"Wooh.. is this some kind of test and those who didn't pass will remain?" Nakangising biro ni Fujinn.

Pinaningkitan ko siya ngunit iniayos lang nito ang nakatirik nitong puting buhok. I sighed deeply. Wala akong masasabi dito kay Frosteir ngunit mas lalong wala akong masasabi dito kay Fujinn. He's always for the fun.

My sister, Tierra, gave her worried smile at me before following the others. Siguro'y hindi naman kami magtatagal sa pakikipag-usap sa Baron. I want to see how they cure the princess. I'm also curious about the sirens.

Sirens in the human world are myths and legends but here, it's not. Marami kaming naririnig mula sa mundo ng mga tao tungkol sa mga sirena. Na sila'y masasama. They are said to lure fishermens or sailors to their deaths. But that's just hersays. Ganoon naman talaga sa mundo ng mga tao. Ang daming haka-haka.

Sirens here are friendly creatures, actually they are overfriendly to the point that they are called seductress.

"Marahil ay nagtataka kayo kung bakit kailangan niyong magpaiwan." Simula ng Baron habang seryosong tinitingnan kaming tatlo.

Katulad ko'y pagtataka rin ang nakaguhit sa mukha ni Frosteir. Si Fujinn ay tila walang pakialam but I know he's listening too. Whatever the Baron is about to say is certainly important.

Naalala ko ang aking ama. Mas matanda siya kung ikukumpara sa Baron ng Saiws.

"I am tasked to inform you, Greenleaf, that Soiller is under attack."

Nagulat ako sa aking narinig. I didn't expect that the Baron will tell me this kind of news. Akala ko ay mayroon siyang nais ipagawa o ihabilin tungkol sa aming paglalakbay.

Shit. How are they doing now? Sasapat ba ang mga kawal sa Greendallais upang protektahan ang buong Soiller? Kung sana'y nandoon lamang ako.

Ang akala ko'y kami lamang ang kanilang pakay sa Soiller kaya sila sumugod noon? Then, may iba pa silang motibo? Nais ba nilang pabagsakin ang aming kaharian?

"But you shouldn't worry for as of the moment, ay may mga ipinadala na akong dagdag na tulong para sa inyong kaharian. May mga nauna na roon ngunit nagdagdag pa ulit ako sapagkat mukhang pursigido ang mga kalaban na mapasok ang Soiller. Sigurado rin naman ako na nagpadala rin ng tulong ang ibang kaharian." At binigyan ako ng matipid na ngiti ng Baron.

"Maraming salamat sa inyong tulong, Mahal na Baron." At yumuko ako upang magbigay ng pasasalamat.

I am relieve to think that the other kingdoms are helping us. We won't be able to defend our kingdom without the help of others. Lalo na't kakaonti lang ang aming mga kawal.

"Now, Whirlwind Fujinn, I need you to send a message for your father. Kailangan niyong magtungo roon bago ang pagpunta niyo sa Fiur. Ipaalam mo sa kanya ito at sabihin mong higpitan ang inyong seguridad. Although I doubt he'll be happy if you tell him what to do." Naiiling na saad ng Baron. "You have your own way of sending messages, right?"
