The End
"Umuwi ka na at mag-uu-"
Kaagad na narinig ni Harriet ang pagputol ng anak niyang si Coco sa tawag nila. She lowered her phone and stared at it for a while. Coco's starting to ask about her father. Anong isasagot niya rito? Kung hindi sana siya pumatol sa isang diyos noon ay hindi siya magkakaroon ng ganito kakomplikadong sitwasyon. She even dragged Charlotte's body and identity into this. Napapikit siya sa sakit ng kanyang ulo. Everything would have been easy for her if she had not fallen for a Greek god before. However, she did not regretted conceiving Coco as her child.
Napamulat si Harriet nang biglang maramdaman ang kakaibang presensya sa kanyang likuran.
"Anong pakay ng isang naliligaw na demonyo rito sa aking pamamahay?" Tanong niya sa kalmadong boses.
Thygo was about to attack her on her back but Harriet was able to cast a protection spell quickly. She created a strong glass barrier between the two of them. Hinarap niya ang binata at tinignan ito sa mga mata nito. She watched the run of events and series of mental images flashed in his eyes. Dahil doon ay kaagad niyang nakilala si Thygo.
"I'm sorry but I have to save her," ani Thygo at nagsimulang sirain ang bagay na pumapagitan sa kanila.
Harriet completely understand the situation. The demon is lost. She smiled, an assuring smile.
"Naliligaw ka nga."
Harriet could give him a good fight but she chose to lower down her defenses and the strength of her shield giving Thygo much of an upper hand.
When the glass barrier finally broke into pieces, Thygo immediately attacked Harriet with his smoke curse. Nakailag si Harriet subalit sa pangalawang subok ni Thygo na tamaan siya ay nadaplisan siya nito. The man took this into his advantage. He threw consecutive attacks on her, weakening her and her ability to cast spell.
Unti-unti nang nanghihina si Harriet. Napatingin siya sa braso niyang nadaplisan ng usok ni Thygo. The darkness caused by his smoke curse began stretching upwards to her shoulder quickly. She's getting weaker and weaker and will surely be getting poisoned and cursed totally any moment by now. She has to counter this and stop this man from causing her more of it.
She muttered a spell to summon her wand. Thygo threw another attack but it faltered because she countered it. Tinawag ni Harriet ang pusa niyang si Maru na siya namang kaagad na tumalon mula sa isa sa mga kabinet na naroroon sa kanilang sala. Sa pagtalon nito'y nasagi ang ilan sa mga larawang naka-display doon at umagaw sa atensyon ni Thygo ang natitirang nakatayo sa ibabaw ng kabinet na iyon.
His right hand which was positioned for another attempt to attack halted mid-air due to surprise. His eyes widened in recognition upon seeing the smiling little girl with Harriet in the picture frame. Siya ay dinalang muli ng kanyang isipan sa mga alaala ng kanyang kabataan.
