The Elven Round (COMPLETED)

Prologue

Euclid Astral Gemini's PoV

"Headshot." I smirked as I watch the little robber's head get holed after firing a shot. Agad namang naging alerto ang mga kasama nito. Some clutched the ropes of their horses tightly na tila ba takot na takot sa ilalim ng araw.

Ohh, that must be their leader.

I whistled a bit. Knowing how awesome the new poisoned needle I bought. Isang tama lang ngunit eto s'ya at sumusuka ng dugo saaking harapan.

I was about to start assassinating them one by one. Ngunit napigil ito ng biglang may napugot na ulo. Blood squirted from the old man's neck and spurted all over. But like earlier, walang tao o nilalang ang nakitang dumaan o pumasok.

The other men started screaming and running away, ngunit naiwan sila ng kabayo when their bodies was cut into half.

I got comfortable in sitting on a tree. I wonder who's the killer? Must be one cool person.

Nanahimik lamang ako sa isang tabi at nanatiling tahimik. My silver eyes flickered on the shadows done by the trees as I watch the guy came out from the side who slaughtered the bandits in just a swish of his silver sword. I even felt his light golden orbs on me. But I shrugged the thought off. Sino ba naman ako upang mapansin n'ya?

I am nothing but dust. And I plan to stay that way forever.

The guy disappeared into thin air. But when the huge wooden box carried by those bandits moved, agad n'ya iyong nilapitan. He sliced the locked open at ganoon na lamang ang pagkakagitla ko ng may tulungan s'yang isang dalagita palabas ng kahon.

The lady moved with such elegance. Her black hair flowed softly in the air habang ang kanyang mga mata ay tila berdeng bato na kumikinang sa dilim. She was glowing. Dressed in both majestic linens and accessories.

She was someone I am not.

Hinilig ko ang aking ulo upang mawala ang mga iniisip. Of course you can and could never be her Aust. She is a princess, someone from royalty. And you, an elf, someone from dust.

I watched as the guy talked with the girl. As if reassuring her with something. Napatingin ako sa nasa tenga nito.

Those are pure diamond earrings, she's got two and oh hell I'm sure it won't hurt losing both. I just need to stay cautious. Isa pa, her ring is also, very beautiful.

I touched my necklace and get a needle from it. Now... Must I kill her or just steal?

I smirked at the thought. The latter is well, heartwarming. And I'd rather not.

Agad kong pinalipad ang karayom patungo sa direksyon ng dalawang nilalang. But to my surprise. The man in blue caught my needles. He looked in my direction, and at that time, I knew, I was in deep danger. I held my breath.

Never had someone ever stopped a flying needle of mine. Never. Except for someone. But still, never.

May lumapit naman ditong isa pang lalake na nakasakay sa kabayo na itim at may kabuntot pang isa. They talked. But instead of staying, I fled.

Hell! I decided to live longer. And in this life, I learned how to back down. Na hindi lahat ng bagay makukuha mo.

Napakibit balikat na lamang ako. Siguro ay makakapangnakaw pa ako bukas. All I have to do is to leave this place.

I jumped on trees until I reached the country's border.

I was about to cross it when I felt someone touched my neck. Napatigil tuloy ako sa pagtalon mula sa bato tungo sa isa pang bato dito sa gitna ng ilog. I shivered at the man's touch. Ngunit hindi ko iyon pinakita. Imbes ay tinanggal ko ang kamay nito. The smell of blood quickly engulfed my nostrils.
