Legend of the Holy Sentinels: Night Hunters

CHAPTER TWELVE - the NORTHERN ENCAMPMENT

"MAMA!" Kayzar hailed excitedly as they finally abandon their final footprints in the Jungles of Narra with great haste.

Their beautiful mother revealed her relieved cheerful face as she turned around seeing her twins running fast to catch up to their spot having a picnic in the fields just outside the Jungles of Narra.

Anagea - their mother and the last direct descendant of the Great Daomagar Lineage - was waiting for them in the clearing with eager eyes. She is wearing a golden set of light armor with her long black hair all curled up on top in a twist revealing her angelic face. Her cheeks blushed as her happy round eyes sparkled its usual brown glow spotting their arrival. Normally, a Princess her stature wears gowns of silk or other excessively-ornamented dresses but not her. Her boyish attitude with the confidence and the fighting spirit of a fierce sea serpent gives her the personality to deviate from the norm. Though having equipped in full battle gear might mask a woman's femininity, her natural beauty still stands out without being compromised which many a people considers to be almost magical, truly worthy to be called one of her aesthetic gifts.

Many of her people were against the thought of her being a soldier at first, thinking of course the preservation of the last of the Daomagar's direct line, and many a suitors were intimidated by the effect but some later came to accept it for she is one of those few Daomagarians who can maximize their Bathala-given talents to the ultimate, garnering the title "The Destroyer", placing her fourth in the list of the Great Twelve, the twelve most powerful Daomagars alive.

Karus and Kayzar ran together as they saw her waving and almost raced to hug her tightly with teary eyes.

"Now, now. Did you behave while you two were in the Palace?" she asked with her soft soothing motherly voice that they have long dreamt of hearing.

They just smiled to hug her again, tightly as they can. They did not know what she meant by 'behave' because they have had the craziest month at the Palace.

"Ma," said a small voice as they felt their mother's armor being gently pulled at the back. "I'm done now."

They saw Rika, their sister, who apparently just healed Yosh that can now be seen sitting at the far back hugging Luna. She has her round blue eyes that shyly look at them as she try her best to hide herself from her brothers behind their mother's. She has a blue round crystal embedded on her forehead with a ripple-like tattoo marking around it. She is born to the will of the water and might possibly be the youngest water caster performing the healing ritual that they know considering her good news.

Anagea smiled as she kissed her on the forehead and stood up to go to Artemus who is now walking near them. The twins grabbed this opportunity to talk to their sister who's been biting her silk handkerchief with innocent eyes still looking at them.

"So, how old r'you now?" asked Kayzar smiling while brushing her hair vigorously with his hands.

"Fi.. no. Six... Six!"

"And you healed your Kuya-Yosh with the help of the other water casters?" said Karus with his juvenile voice mimicking her sister.

"uh-huh..."

They smiled as they looked behind her trying to find other casters besides the members of their travelling party. They saw them having a picnic, eating what appears to be a variety of different kinds of meat and vegetables. They tried hard to crane their heads to scan the area only to identify a Daomagarian woman, smiling widely seeing Yosh's unique appetite.

"uh, isn't that Mama's personal..."

"but see..." added Rika, "I healed them all myself, uh-huh, because I'm the only one that can follow Mama, uh-huh."
