And a place that can easily forget."

Chapter 11: The Haunted Circus

Kastarthest, West

"Here we go young lads, the land of the mist. I assume you're okay now song and calton?" Ms. Ji ah asked the two as the ship prepares to drop the anchor and stopping near the land. Song and calton nods at her while looking at the land covered with mist. Wala silang makita, the only thing they can see right now are dead trees near the ocean. Cleo excitedly stares at the mist, as if may nakikita sya na di nila nakikita.

Bago pa man maibaba ng ship ang hagdan, biglang tumalon si cleo from the ship and runs toward the mist until he dissapears from their line of vision. Deon just let out a tired sigh at tumalon din sa ship, following after his brother. Calton and song glances at each other before jumping from the ship as well. Ms. Ji Ah just let out a shrugged at pinigilan ang crew na tuluyang ibaba ang hagdan because it's clearly they don't need one. Song looks at the captain with a smile of gratitude, Ms. Ji Ah nods at her.

"Just before you go young lads, be aware that this land holds something that might get you all in trouble, just be careful. Farewell and have a safe journey." Bumuga muna ang usok si Ms. Ji Ah bago tumalikod sakanila. The ship slowly starts to move until it disappears. Song took note of what the captain said, after all nangyare yung babala sakanya ng captain tungkol sa mga siren. The captain definitely knows better more than everyone so she will trust her.

"Damn brats, di man lang tayo hinintay." Iritang sabi ni calton sa tabi ni song before starting to walk in the same direction where the two child went. Song lets out a chuckle and walks by his side. It's odd because she is expecting na malakas ang hangin dito, but the land of the mist totally lived up with its name.

"Ah calton before I forgot, salamat nga pala for lending me some of your powers and sending the Goddess of light for me. I appreciated it, I owe you one." Song said with a smile at the king. Calton stares at her with a blank expression for a minute bago mabilis na iniwas ang kanyang mukha. Warm spreading across his cheeks.

'Fuck, ito nanaman sya! Why she looks so cut---Fuck that smile. Shit! this is no good.' Calton angrily thought to himself.

"H-heh. It's nothing! I still need you to find my sword anyway! yeah, that's why I helped you because you're weak." He said without looking at her direction. Bigla naman napatigil sa paglalakad si song, causing calton to stopped walking as well and then he realized what he just said.

'I fucked up aren't I? Why do I care with her feelings anyway? This is getting out of the hand.' Calton just stands on his spot and watches how song clenches her fist. Her bangs shadowing her face, making it hard for the king to read her face.

"Yes I may be weak right now, but I will do my best to be the stronger!" Song shouted with passion. Calton widen his eyes a little bit when song raised her head and her eyes flashes black for a second.

'Her eyes. So she still didn't unlock most of her power...interesting, but who sealed her power? At first akala ko wala lang to, isang imahinasyon lang kaya di ko ito pinagtuonan ng pansin. Now, I can clearly feel the seal inside her. This seal is too much powerful. I can't wait how much power is inside her once the seal is broken.' Calton eyed her with a unreadable emotion on his eyes.
