Fragment No. 34

A/N : Ooohh.. I'm sorry about the cliffhanger, I didn't realize! Orz So here's another chapter na, I finish it before continuing "Quiet Lullaby". ^^"

It's from Bright's POV~

****

Today started innocent enough, was what Bright initially thought. He woke up with Rome beside him, lazing around before coming back to his apartment and readying himself for P' Tum's wedding. His friends always harp at him for his laziness and tardiness, so just like any other important day, Knott picked him up with his car.

Then.. as he chats animatedly with Toota inside Knott's car with Prem chiming from the front seat after the wedding, he can't help but lament in his heart. You see, a powerful aura suddenly surged forward, strong enough to knock the air from his lungs. Prem also noticed it, his eyes narrowing and look at him meaningfully; an Opal let out his power.

P' Kongphob!

His phone went off, his brother's name on the screen. "Phi?!"

"Stop the car." The order made Bright immediately tapped on Knot's shoulder and urged him to stop.

"What the hell, Bright?!" Knott glared at him as soon as he stepped on the brake pedal. The glare wane off just as fast as it come, because P' Wad out of nowhere knocked on the car's window.

Bright swiftly open the door and hop off. before he can ask, his phi already offered a simple explanation. "The Lord is under attack, Arthit is with him."

He knew what his brother implied and nodded his head. He had to go there to get Arthit. P' Wad grabbed his hand, intending to usher him toward an inconspicuous place to teleport. Fortunately Bright didn't forget about his friends. He turned his head and shoot a goofy smile as his brother dragged him along. "You guys can go home, na. I have to do something with my brother first!"

He ignored the question stare his friends gave him, and shed the pretense on his face once they were far enough. "How's the situation?"

His brother stopped once they step into a dimly lit alley. Facing him, P' Wad said something so simple yet dangerous. "He might go out of control soon."

With the mark on P' Wad's face and neck glowing bright, the surrounding change into something akin of battlefield.

Smoke everywhere, shrouding his sight. He can see holes on the road of the bridge and its railing. But what takes his breath away was the pool of water as high as the pole above him. Inside, corpses floating eerily.

"-uck. Wad! A little help is nice, right about now!" he heard P' Kong shouted. His gaze immediately land on Arthit who tried to reach for P' Kong, who is clearly on the edge of his control. Before his friend could get hurt from the blast of P' Kong's power, Bright's hand shot toward Arthit and dragged him away.

"Bright?! wha-" his friend is clearly almost out of it, panic and fear on his face. Bright shook his head and put more strength to drag his friend away from the danger zone.

"Not here, Ai' Thit. Let's go somewhere safe first."

"What?" he almost pity his friend, finding about their true selves like this is surely feel more than just a slap on his face. It's downgrade terrifying. He wanted to tell his friend that it's okay, but P' Wad is in front of them now, covering Arthit's eyes. Immediately the surrounding changed again, and Bright find them standing on the magic array inside Water Clan embassy. In the blink of an eye, his brother already gone again. No doubt dealing with his out of control Lord.

Arthit has gone slack on his arms, the shock of teleportation was no joke to ordinary human body. Bright summon a polite smile as he saw a priestess stares at him with a guard look outside of the array, knowing that the air distortion around his hair was nullified inside it.
