SENA

Layton's after Zelus' sleeping body.

That one sentence was enough. Enough for us to understand why we're called back here.

"Layton is a crazy bastard. His mind alone is dangerous but when blood gets into his head, that's about twice the danger." General Nakatomi sighed. "We have no idea what he needs his father's body for, but hell will break loose here in the Human Realm if Zelus wakes up."

"They will need a shit ton of pure Witches and Wizards to wake him up. Do you think the Vampires have that?" Glen asked.

Tuluyan akong napaisip sa pagkibit balikat ni General Nakatomi habang umiiling.

Kinabahan ako, aaminin ko. Pero may tiwala ako kay Mom. Kahit na patay na s'ya.

Si Mom ang gumawa ng spell na nagpatulog kay Zelus.

Mom, despite being a Halfblood, her Witch blood was more dominant than her Werewolf blood. Her combat skills of course were nothing to sneeze at especially being a Halfblood as well. But everyone knew she was better than most pure Witches in Rubellite.

May archive kami sa Headquarters na may grimoire or spell books. Doon din namin natutunan yung ibang high level spells. At karamihan doon, si Mom lang ang nakakagawa ng walang kahirap-hirap. Pati na yung pagpapatulog kay Zelus.

Hindi ko na malalaman kung paano n'ya nagawa yun dahil ikinamatay n'ya rin yung paggamit sa kung ano mang spell ang ginamit n'ya. Kahit hindi naman namatay si Zelus doon, malaking tulong na yung nagawa n'yang 'yon.

Whatever that spell is, it kept Zelus Michaelis asleep for the past 110 years.

I'm glad with that result, and would be more glad if Mom didn't die, but I'm still wondering how Mom managed to cast that spell. Yes, I believe Mom and her skills but I leave room for doubt.

A Vampire over a thousand years old wouldn't be too easy to even subdue. And high level spells take a lot of chanting and time to finish. Zelus would've ripped Mom's throat right there and then the moment Mom utters a word of unusual language. Which brings me to the conclusion that Zelus put his guard down around Mom.

Why though?

May mga sundalo sa Ruby na ilang beses na na-encounter si Zelus at 1 out of 10 ang survival rate.

"It's possible that they have enough Witches or Wizards to wake him up. Kaya nga pinatawag ko kayong dalawa. Ipapaasikaso ko sana 'to kay Veronica pero nung pumunta dito nung nakaraan ay hindi s'ya pwede magtagal." Naiiling na sabi ni General Nakatomi.

"She had an on-going mission for the Realm Council," sabi ko.

"Now, I want you two to get out of the Headquarters undetected. Use the undergound passage and check the place where we buried Zelus."

"When do we leave?" Tanong ni Glen.

"As soon as possible. You made quite a commotion on where the Major General is in charge. Baka nakarating na kay Layton na nandito kayong dalawa kaya mas maiging kumilos na kayo agad."

Pinaalalahan lang kami na huwag hayaang may ibang makakita sa amin sa pag-alis namin. Nang lumabas kami sa opisina ng ama ni Glen ay napagkasunduan naming pagkatapos naming makuha yung impormasyon na alam nung nahuli namin kanina ay saka lang kami aalis.

"I'm gonna go and read in my office." Sabi ni Glen nang tumigil kami sa harap ng interrogation room. "And inform George about this."

"How much time do you need?" Pabulong na tanong ko.
