First of all, I really don't want Lyren to die but yeah, things happen.
First of all, how did Lyren get the Linking Magic? Where did she get it? Remember Afiel, (spoiler alert if you're reading from last to start) Ophiel's brother, and the user of the Linking Magic? How did Lyren get that magic?
Whew, I'm so sorry for killing you, Lyren.

Hope that you enjoy reading!

ALL SHE CAN DO | LYREN
"You have to do something. That girl's power is not enough," he said. He is sitting on a throne made from emerald stones. The whole area is being lit by a green light.
"Pero bakit ako?" Nagtataka rin ako kung bakit kailangan niya pang magpakita sa panaginip ko. Gusto ko lang namang matulog nang matiwasay.
Delta rose from his seat. This is the second time that he appeared in my dreams. And he keeps on saying that I need to do something.
His gold and green coat shines as he looked at me intently. "We deities only want to help you in your battle. We cannot fully throw ourselves in this battle. This is a battle of mortals and we have no right to interfere. And as I see it, your force is not enough to defeat Black Phoenix. Someone has to make a sacrifice." He sighed. "You are the only one that I see fit."
"Sacrifice? Anong kailangan kong isakripisyo?"
He gave me a melancholic smile. "Lahat-lahat."
My heart sank. Hindi ko pa rin maintindihan kung bakit kailangang ako. Gusto kong tumulong na iligtas ang mundo. Pero kailangan ba talaga na ako ang magsakripisyo? Hindi ba pwedeng iba na lang?
"It's not like you can do anything. Once a deity chooses you, wala kang choice kundi sumunod. Isa pa, kapag nakita mo ako, may ipapakita akong sorpresa sa iyo," sabi niya na may nakakalokong ngiti.
"Ano naman iyon?" asik ko.
He laughed. "Secret. Kapag nagpakita ka sa physical form ko, ipapakita ko siya sa iyo." Umiling-iling siya. "Mali pala. Dahil kapag hindi ka nagpakita sa akin, mamamatay ka at hindi mo na matutulungan ang mundo. Bilisan mo dahil hinahanap niya rin ako. An island to the southeast of Plendesia. Meet me there tomorrow. Good night," he winked and disappeared before I was able to say anything.

Ngayong nakatayo ako sa islang ito, hindi ko alam kung itutuloy ko ba. Hindi ko rin maintindihan ang sarili ko kung bakit sinusunod ko ang utos ng lalaking iyon. Ni hindi nga ako sigurado kung mapagkakatiwalaan siya. Pakiramdam ko'y niloloko niya lang ako.
Pero ibang klaseng isla ito. Pagkatapak ko pa lamang ay alam ko nang hindi ito ordinaryong isla lamang.
The stillness in the air, the deafening silence surrounding the whole area, and the trees that are not moving even a single inch; all of these are signs of a mystic island.
Nagsimula akong maglakad. Tila isa akong estranghero na walang alam sa pupuntahan niya. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ko ito ginagawa. Dahil ba isa siyang diyos? Dahil ba sabik ako sa sorpresang ipapakita niya? O dahil gusto kong ako ang magsalba sa mundo? Hindi ko matukoy kung ano.
Bawat pagtapak ko sa lupa ay lalong dumadagundong ang dibdib ko. Kinakabahan ako. Gusto kong bumalik sa kastilyo upang makasama si Xeo. Gusto kong bumalik at lubusin ang oras na kasama siya dahil alam kong mawawala na ako, gaya ng sinabi ni Delta nang una kaming magkita.
