(POV Eliana)
Umahon kami sa tubig at naging kulay itim uli ito. Nasa harap kami ng dambuhalang metallic door tulad ng mismong entrance door ng Morpheus Citadel.
"The demon witch does not have any teleportation ability, but she can turn into a black smoke-like form kaya mabilis siyang nakarating dito. I was a bit faster than her, but since I fetched the four of you, I believe she is already behind this door," sabi ko sa kanila.
"If she is the descendant of the creator of this citadel, I bet she can easily pass through this door. Any idea on how we can we open this?" tanong ni Elixir.
Umiling lang ako dahil hindi ko din alam kung paano bubuksan ang pinto. I feel so tired dahil sa teleportation ability na ginamit ko. I even used the cloning ability of Massiah Keller and triplicate myself para mabilis ko mahanap ang daan. Consequently, masyadong nadeplete ang energy ko.
"Elixir, do you know how we can access this?"
"Your Majesty, only you can open the last door. The current Royal Heir is the key to enter the Alpha Crypt. Use your blood and your mind control ability to move the door's mechanism."
May isang maliit na metallic cup sa harapan ng metallic door. I can't see anything beyond this door as if there is a special warding that you cannot peek inside.
Tristan borrowed Bianca's knife and cut his wrist. He poured his blood inside the small cup. Kahit si Tristan ay nabigla nang biglang gumalaw ang dugo niya sa cup. Bigla itong naglaho as if it was absorbed by the door.
"Beyond this wall is the crypt of our twelve Alphas. Elixir, Gareth and Bianca, make sure to focus with the Alphas. Ensure that their coffins are still sealed. We can't afford to wake them up if Elixir's theory is correct. I will handle the third demon witch together with my wife," utos ni Tristan.
Unti unting bumukas ang dambuhalang metallic door. The moment it opened, we can already feel the twelve powerful werewolf presence and one evil presence. Tumakbo kami sa loob ng isang corridor and we end up in large circular room.
Napansin ko din ang labindalawang metallic coffin na naka arrange into circular fashion na parang isang clock. Nasa gitna ang isang babae na may hawak na black sphere, the Stygian Sphere. She is starting to cast a spell, probably to wake up the twelve Alphas.
"Who do we have here? Weak puppies?" tanong ng babae na nasa gitna.
This must be all-powerful Gresilda Renard, the Death Siren. Kung nakapasok siya sa lugar na ito, it only means that she was able to obtain the powers of her mother, Celina Renard.
"We are here to extinguish you, Gresilda!" sigaw ni Gareth.
"Oh come on, you are just a seer. Someone who can glimpse the future. And you, smart boy, you are basically useless here!" sabi ni Gresilda kay Gareth at kay Elixir.
"And we have two more ladies, one pathetic werewolf who does not have any abilities. And the other one is almost a... human being?"
Tulad ng sabi sa akin ni Professor Joaquim, our powers are deeply concealed. No one can detect the Werewolf blood within us.
"She an extraordinary human, she can even kill you with her bare hands!" galit na sabi ni Tristan.
Nagulat si Gresilda nang makita niya si Tristan. I guess even the demon witch like her can't deny the fact that my husband is good looking enough. For a few seconds, she keeps staring at Tristan. Her face is a combination of happiness and surprise.
"Tyrell? Is that you? Are you here to finally join me?" tanong ni Gresilda na lumalapit sa amin.
The four of us instinctively tried to protect Tristan at humarang kami sa harapan niya bago pa makalapit si Gresilda.
"I think akala niya, ikaw si Tyrell," sabi ko kay Tristan using our telepathic abilities.
"Tyrell is the husband of Merilda, Gresilda's sister. Tyrell is my grandfather. Nasabi na sa akin ng daddy ko na hawig ko ang grandfather ko."
"I can attest to that. I saw him during our wedding. Mas mukha mo nga siyang tatay kaysa sa daddy mo. Kaya pala pinagkakaguluhan siya dalawang magkapatid na powerful witch, your grandfather is good looking just like you."
"I think we are in front of a Death Siren, don't make me blush, my dear wife."
Unti unting lumalapit si Gresilda kay Tristan. It seems na nawala sa isip niya ang tunay na pakay niya. It is either she wants to get close to Tristan dahil akala niya ay si Tyrell ang kausap niya or gusto niya kunin ang puso ni Tristan to be the Ultimate Sorceress.
"Tyrell, I waited for centuries. I thought I will never see you again."
"Gresilda---"
"I was the one who saw you first! I was the one who fell in love with you first! Why did you choose my sister over me?"
"Because of love, Gresilda. Something an evil person like you can never have. Love is your weakness."
Weakness. Hindi na kailangan pa ipaliwanag ni Tristan ang ibig niyang sabihin. Gresilda's weakness is just in front of us.
Habang na kay Tristan focus ni Gresilda. I tried to use the freezing time ability para kunin sa kanya ang Stygian Sphere. In a split second, the glowing orb is in my hand. I used my teleportation skill para makapunta sa lugar kung saan may kumukulong lava. I dropped the Stygian Sphere inside the smoldering lava. I bet no one can destroy this ancient artifact, but no one can also obtain it here. It will be forever trapped inside this hellish fire.
Pagbalik ko sa Alpha Crypt, all of them are already in their werewolf form. They are fighting Gresilda. Without the Stygian Sphere, she is weaker. She received several injuries from werewolf bites, but she is still strong enough dahil ilang beses tumilapon si Gareth at Elixir palayo sa kanya. Both of them are already powerful dahil Direct Heirs sila pero wala silang kalaban laban kay Gresilda.
Kahit si Tristan ay maraming tinamo na injuries dahil kay Gresilda. Lumapit ako sa kanyang werewolf form at hinawakan ang mukha niya.
"Tristan, marami ka ng sugat," sabi ko habang lumalapit sa malaking werewolf.
"Did you manage to destroy the Stygian Sphere?"
"I can't destroy it, but I don't think Gresilda will be able to find it."
"Eliana, I hate to admit it, but I think we really need your help. Will you be able to give your husband a hand to defeat this evil witch?"
"Of course, Your Majesty. I can't allow anyone to hurt my dogee," sabi ko habang hinahaplos ang ulo niya.
