Amethyst: Game Start

XXII - Three-way battle

“Talk about stupidity…” Austin whispered while watching me eat a pack of Potchi. I grimaced at him and looked around, we are inside the Madow along with the Shadow Crane and Black Plague.

We are gathered in our respective guilds, the go signal is not yet released so the calm still resides.

I looked behind and gave Austin an innocent look. I’ve been analyzing what will happen in this three-way battle, but all I can think is how the Black Plague will use this battle to take revenge for Richard against Snipey. But knowing that Amanda is angry at me, she might target me.

While the Shadow Crane wouldn’t waste their energy to touch except for Snipey. I still lack a lot of information, especially that I have no idea about their soul except to the people I personally know.

But thinking of the what-ifs, I can’t escape the fact that I can’t really fight with the Zodiacs watching because not even my brother knows that I am Amethyst.

All of a sudden, I can’t lift a single finger. It was unsightly, especially that I’m still feeding myself. Our phones began to ring simultaneously along with the magnificent rays of the sun reflecting the letters coming out of our phones.

A loud screeching noise echoed as it somehow paralyzes us. After that, most of the players engaged in a battle with their opponent.

Kusang tumaas ang kilay ko nang mahagip ng mga mata ko si Amanda na nakangiti lamang sa akin habang hindi umaalis sa puwesto.

“Sphene!” Nawala naman ang atensyon ko ro’n nang sinugod ako ng isang babae na may kamay na gawa sa tentacle.

Ginamit n’ya iyon upang hulihin ako ngunit mabilis akong yumuko at pinatid s’ya habang patakbo sa aking direksyon. Tanginang lampa.

Napangisi na lamang ako ng hampasin ni Zeus na bigla na lamang lumitaw ang babae bago pa ito makatayo.

“What?” I asked, making Zeus shrugged.

Saya talagang kausap no’n.

Muling nawala sa paningin ko si Zeus kaya’t umupo na lamang ako sa gilid ng puno at muling kumain. Nasisiyahan akong ginala ang mga mata ko at katulad ng inaasahan ko ay ang grupo nina Keigo at Travis ang pinakamaglalaban.

Ngunit mas humango ako sa bagay na bagay na soul nina Anikka at Noah. Kung si Noah ay nagmamanipula ng ink, si Anikka naman ay papel na may iba’t-ibang kulay at ang abilidad ng mga papel ay depende sa kulay nito.

Kanilang pinoprotektahan si Snipey mula sa mga atake ni Keigo. Napatigil naman ako sa pagkain nang may mapansin akong hindi tama, tila may kulang sa labanan na ito.

I enhance my sense of sight but just like I thought, Hunter wasn’t around. Even Amanda and her fruit stealers goons.

Napangiwi ako nang mapansin kong tumatakbo si Hallie papunta sa direksyon habang naka-child form s’ya, hinahabol siya ng isang lalaki na may hawak na espada at buong lakas n’yang kinokontrol ito upang tumama kay Hallie.

Saglit kong binitawan ang Potchi ko at hinawakan ang kamay ni Hallie upang maiilot s’ya at bago pa man makaiwas ang lalaki ay ninakaw ko ang paningin nito dahilan upang tumama ang tuhod ni Hallie sa mukha nito.
