“Whaaat??” that powerful voice echoed in all the corners of the Empress’s Castle. Cliandra’s eyebrows are so closed together dahil sa stress na nabalitaan.
“It’s true Head Empress, Chantele’s friends are on the Bewychville already. And they won’t stop until they find Chantele.”
Inis na tumingin si Cliandra kay Marigold. “Gather the entire Empress, I put down an order to capture those creatures and put them on the Bloodlust Point.”
Nagalinlangan muna si Marigold bago nagsalita. Bloodlust Point is the home of the Manticores. No one in this land, not even them, and Empress dared to step on that place. “U…Understood Head Empress.”
Iyon lang at nawala na si Marigold sa harapan ni Cliandra na inis na inis pa din. She can’t believe those creatures can escape the Murlocks. Well if these creatures are really powerful ones they can kill those beast for her. Manticores is a pain in her ass too. For years many Crepuscular fairies and great warriors and great Empress gave their life to stop those beasts from terrorizing this country. If that happened no one will be risking their lives trying to find out how to kill those beasts. And this country will be as peaceful as the Luminous Country. That’s her dream. And she will do everything to achieve that dream for her people. Wala syang pakialam kung ilang buhay at kung kaninong buhay ang mawala.
PLACE: Bewychville, Traveller’s Tavern
Pauli-uli si Azalea habang pinagmamasdan naman sya ni Clyde. They are currently on the living room sa kasalukuyang tinitirhan nila sa Bewychville. They decided to stay for one night because they believe that this place is a good starting place to find hints on Chantele’s home.
“Azalea, please seat down.” said Clyde na itinigil na ang pagbabasa ng libro dahil hindi din naman sya makapagconcentrate sa pagpapauli-uli nito.
“Something’s not right…”
Clyde’s eyebrows crumpled. “C’mon, this is a good place… you can relax for a while you know.”
“No…”
Clyde smiled. “You’re really a fighter huh. But everything is going to be alright.” Pagkakalma niya dito. he admires how vigilant and how strong this woman are at napatunayan nya iyon on the Dead Forest. But right on this moment she needs to rest. Earl made sure that he put a protection spell on this whole room so that they can sleep peacefully.
“You know what I’m worried about…”
“What?” nakangiting tanong niya dito
“…it’s so peaceful… and quiet.”
Tumayo si Clyde at hinawakan sa kamay si Azalea. This woman needs comforting, badly. Hindi na ata nito alam ang salitang pahinga.
“Look, you trust Earl right? And his magic…” Tumango ito. “…then there’s nothing to worry about.”
Azalea looks on Clyde’s comforting eyes. “You don’t know them Clyde. One thing that’s different between me and you is that I’m a Crepuscular fairy. I’m in the dark and I know their dark ways. I live with it, every single day. And one thing I learn from being a dark fairy is to never be comfortable with anything…” bahagya syang huminto sa pagsasalita saka umiwas ng tingin kay Clyde. “…or anyone.”
“Okay… I understand you. But I just want to remind you that you’re not a super fairy. You still needs to rest.”
“Yeah, I know that.” said Azalea saka tumalikod na dito at dire-diretso naglakad papasok sa kwarto. She can’t explain but for some instance… she feels awkward. She never felt that when they are on the Dead Forest fighting for his life, for their lives. Bakit ngayon nararamdaman na nya ito dito?
