RED BLYTHE AKIYAMA

Naramdaman ko na umiinit ang bawat bahagi ng katawan ko sa narinig ko, kumabog ang puso ko at nakaramdam din ako nang galit. Unti-unting nabibiyak ang lupang kinatatayuan ko ngayon at nanganganib lumabas ang apoy mula rito.

Kinuwelyuhan ko si Ryoku at seryoso siyang tiningnan. "Hindi pa patay si Thyrian!" sigaw ko. "Sabihin mong hindi pa siya patay!" Naramdaman ko ang mainit na luha na nagtatangkang lumabas mula sa aking mga mata.

I've felt half of me started to rip and bleed and my heart is been torn to pieces.

"Ano ba, Red! Bitawan mo siya!" wika ni Shinri.

Hindi ako magawang matingnan sa mata ni Ryoku at ang tanging nagagawa ko na lamang ay umiiling-iling habang hinayaan ko nang tumulo ang aking mga luha.

Binitiwan ko si Ryoku at pumunta sa kung asan ang katawan ni Thyrian. Napa-upo ako sa sahig and hugged her body. "No, wake up, please? Rian, wake up, wake up my love... Wake up please." my voice started to break and I started to whimper as I hugged her body tightly than before.

"Please... Don't leave me, I need you, all of us need you, please..." Hinalikan ko ang tuktok ng ulo niya habang patuloy na inaalo ang katawan niya.

I can't live without her... She's my other part. She's my mate. I'm too dumb to realize everything.

She's my mate that's why I'm attracted to her since then, I can't leave her side, I can't sleep if I can't protect her and I'm jealous and I want to rip Yuki's head when they are with each other.

I can't lose her, not now, not ever. Please... Give her back to me. I'm begging to the gods above give my life back to me.

"Hey, wake up. Everything's okay, see?" I've tried to make my voice cheerful as I nudged her cheeks with mine.

"Red..." I've heard my friends pitiful and sad voice calling my name.

Hindi ko sila pinansin and tried again to wake Thyrian up. "Please, this is not a good joke, Rian."

But all I receive is nothing as a reply and the feeling of her cold hand resting in mine... With no signs of life.

Now I understand how my father felt when he lose my mother. It's beyond unbearable.

"I love you..." I whimpered and kissed her cold lips as I released a heartbroken roar of a dragon who'd lose his mate.

Lumabas ang apoy sa aking katawan and the earth rumbled, kumalat ang apoy at nagkaroon ng pagsabog na dahilan nang pagsunog ng mga puno.

"She's not dead yet... Stop being so noisy and stop ruining my land," Narinig ko ang boses ni Zhane at lahat kami napatingin sa kaniya habang pa-ika-ika niya kaming nilapitan.

He waved his hand at unti-unting bumalik ang buhay sa mga punong nasunog ko, nagniningning ang mga ito mas lalo na sa mga dahon nito. "Totoo ba ang sinasabi mo? She's still alive?" Napuno nang pag-asa ang boses ko kahit na lumuluha pa rin ako.

"Do I looked like a liar?" He boredly looked at me. "She still is... We need to find her soul who is trapped somewhere in the Dragon Realm and break the curse," wika niya at nilapitan ako.

Tiningnan niya muna ang katawan ni Thyrian and I've heard him sob. He's still a kid and I know Thyrian is important to him like how she is important to me.

"But 'di ba, hawak ni Kiriko ang buong Dragon Realm?" tanong ni Yuki as he wiped his tears.

"Not entirely, sa ginawa ni Red-nii he purified half of dragon realm. Alam niyo na ngayon na nasa bahagi kayo ng kaharian ko 'di ba? It means na kontrolado na natin ang Dragon Realm kahit hindi lahat and we can move freely in here unless aatake si Kiriko," tumikhim siya. "We can get all the realms kung hahanapin natin ang iba nating kasama and they are not in the human world anymore... They are cursed by Kiriko to be a cursed being in their own kingdom, we need to save them and if and only if we can save them, we will know where Ria-nii too," wika niya and we just stared at him mouth agape.
