Chapter 41: Daughter of the Sun

/41/
Daughter of the Sun

---

"DOWN!" GABRYLE was quick to shout and pull me down until we were both crouching behind the thick, dark walls that make up the embrasure.

I let out a whimper nang tumama ang sumisiklab na putik sa isang bahagi ng embrasure, melting its hollow blocks until it seeped down like a mudslide crashing from the top of a high mountain.

Mabuti naman at hindi natamaan ang iba naming kasamahan na hinihingal na ngayon. Before the elemental dragon can burst out another dangerous breath, William Phoenix swiftly raised both hands and transformed his arms into a pair of flaming wings. He then surged up into the air in an attempt to attack the dragon and the Solis guard controlling it.

With a swing of one flaming wing, William then threw a spark of spiking hot flames towards the dragon who whimpered in pain at the attack. Agad naman siyang sinundan ni Sherlindrea Lovell pati ni Tyrion Mudhart na dinedepensahan kami mula sa iba pang mga watch keepers at elemental dragons na ngayon ay sumusugod ng mabilis papunta sa amin.

"Find Winthrop! We'll take care of the battle up here." Sherlindrea managed to muster as she struggled to balance in-between the cemented blocks that were untouched by the earlier dragon's attack with molten lava.

She didn't need to tell us twice as we frantically got up from our cover. Gabryle was already up and tugging my hand, but I quickly whirled around to try and find Winthrop below.

To my annoyance, she alongside her subjects were nowhere to be found now.

Tanging ang kaguluhan lang ng mga Ethearians ang makikita sa ibaba.

"She must have escaped," Madison breathed heavily beside me before finally pulling me towards one of the towers connected to the embrasure nang sigawan kami ni Gabryle na bilisan namin ang galaw namin.

"Or, she's trying to protect the crown she made." Avery uttered, hearing Madison's remark.

"Wherever she is, sigurado akong nasa castillo pa rin siya." Mariing sabi naman ni Eionne na mukhang nag-aalala para kay William na nakikipag-laban kasama ni Sherlindrea at Tyrion, lalo na't pasulyap-sulyap pa rin ito mula sa bintana ng torre.

"Then we'll ransack this castle." I muttered under my breath, nodding my head as I realize the heaviness of the matter we are about to undertake. "Overthrow every furniture and turn every table — wala akong pake. Kailangan niyang pag-bayaran ang hustisyang pinagkait niya mula sa bawat Ethearian."

Nang iangat ko na ang aking tingin ay nakita kong tumango si Jareth, Avery, Madison at Damien sa sinabi ko habang seryoso naman ang paningin nina Gabryle, Asden, Scarlet, Eionne at Victoria.

"We'll lead the way," Victoria finally offered after the period of silence, turning her head to the other side in order to hide the ugly burned sear on one side of her face that was earlier caused by the battle between her, Gabryle, and William.

"We know the castle better, like the familiarity of knowing the back of our hands." Diin nito at tumango naman si Gabryle bilang pag sang-ayon.

"Then take us to your queen."

And there was not a moment to lose. Agad na nanguna si Eionne at Victoria sa pagbaba ng hagdanan na sinundan naman namin. Si Asden at Jareth naman ang naiwan sa likuran para siguraduhing walang nakasunod na mga Solis guards o alagad ni Winthrop.
