After the games, they didn't let me out without a proper rest. Ang sabi pa ni Lolo dahil second origin daw ang ginamit ko, hindi talaga ako pinayagan kahit gusto ko lang pumunta sa garden ayaw akong payagan.


"Ayos na ako okay?" Saad ko habang kausap ko si Matthew, pababa kami galing sa second floor. 


"By the way, Trina's here. Zenith went here with her." Matthew said and we went straight to the main living room area of the castle. I saw her with my brother, they have something in common but I don't like her for my brother.


"Emerald," Agad namang napatingin si Trina sa gawi namin ng tawagin ako ni Kuya, "How are you?"


"I'm fine. Are you sure you want us to accompany you or not?" Dinodouble check ko lang kung gusto ba n'ya ng may kasama o wala, eh mukha namang mapipilitan s'ya eh.


"I don't know anything about the mortal world Emerald, you know that world more than me." He then shrugged after saying his magic word on me, natipan na kaagad ni Lolo si Kuya Zenith kung saan s'ya tutuloy. "And also, hindi ko alam kung saan ako tutuloy kung ako lang mag-isa."


"Oo na sasama na kaming lima sayo." I answered in defeat, as if I can say no to my brother. I was about to go upstairs, sa kwarto ko para kunin ang susi ng bahay when Kuya burst a bubble.


"Trina's coming with us," Nagulat ako sa sinabi ni Kuya, kaya napatingin ako sa kan'ya. I smell something fishy with the two of them pero hindi nila maamin. "Pwede naman 'di ba?" Tumango na lang ako kahit ayaw ko, hindi ko alam kung anong mangyayari sa amin doon.


"Kain muna tayo, gutom na ako eh." Andropov said and he nodded at me, he saved me this time. 


"Akyat lang ulit ako, kukunin ko lang yung susi sa bahay," ayoko namang sabihin ni Kuya na wala kaming pinagsamahan kahit meron, ang ayoko ko lang na may mabanggit s'ya na hindi ko magugustuhan.


"Bakit parang napipilitan ka na lang na isama si Trina?" It was Carlos, "Hinid ba magkaibigan kayo?"


"Correction, ex-bestfriend. Kahit pa sabihin mong wala naman s'yang kasalanan sa nangyayari, ganito ako eh, nadadala ng bugso  ng damdamin ko. Ang pangit naman na galit ako sa kanila tapos may exception ako."


He shrugged his shoulders, parang hindi pa s'ya convinced. Right after the games, nanliligaw na talaga si Carlos sa akin. And yeah, he's serious about his words. Sana all may paninindigan.


Bumaba na kami, they're all eating kaya sumabay na rin ako kami ni Carlos sa kanila.  When we finished eating, we asked for another two dragons for my brother and Trina. Umalis na kami kasama si Lolo para makasigurado raw s'yang hindi kami masasaktan o kung ano pa man.


May isa pang daan sa Dragon Kingdom patungo sa mundo ng mga tao, "Luceat lux vestra, Korakuen."


Nagbukas na ang portal papunta sa mundo ng mga tao, "I'll be expecting you tomorrow, one day here is equivalent to two days to the human world. Enjoy."
