AFTER WEST CHANTED the answer of the riddle, it automatically went open widely.

Namangha si Pierra sa kanyang nakita. This room is made of crystals and mirrors. Its extravagant.

"Oh, someone finally opened me." Said by a deep baritone voice who looks like it was amused.

Napalingon - lingon si Pierra sa paligid. Wala siyang nakikitang tao o BM (Boss Monster). They alerten their senses.

Napatingin siya kay West na parang wala lang. West is wearing a bored face. Wow ha? Lakas ng confidence. Hindi ba siya natatakot? Na baka multo kalaban nila.

Oh wait! Speaking of takot...

Napatingin siya kay Adidas na namumutla na. Nang mapansin siya ni Adidas ay agad siyang sinamaan ng tingin.

"What? I'm not scared." He said, trying to normalize his voice.

Tumaas ang kilay niya. "Wala pa nga akong sinasabi e. Napaghahalataan ka." Sabi niya tapos tumawa ng mahina.

"See it is not so easy..." that voice again.

Is the riddle connected with this BM?

"Whoever find me, I'll give you an award." The voice said again.

"Who are you?" Crimo asked.

"I'm one of the wind, I'm the one who stays at your back, sometimes in front. I keep in the dark, and I'm part of you." He said again.

Another riddle?

Gawd. Mabibiyak isipan niya rito.

"Keep in the dark daw, Pei. Baka multo ito." Adidas cried.

Napatingin siya kay Adidas. "Walang sinabi na multo siya. Ikaw talaga, umayos ka. Lalaki ka pa naman tapos takot ka sa multo. E patay na sila. Mas matakot ka sa buhay. Tingnan mo, pinagtitinginan ka na nila." Sabi niya kay Adidas.

Adidas straightened his back. Trying to get back his composure. "Sino sabi na takot ako? Hindi kaya." Tapang - tapangan na sabi nito.

"Andyan ang multo sa likod mo." Sabi ni Vanice na siyang ikinahiyaw ni Adidas at yakap sa kay Pierra.

"Ahh! Pei! Pei! Iuwi mo na ako! Ayoko na dito!" Hiyaw ni Adidas.

Tumawa sila Hayla, Forbes, Diwa at Vanice. Siya naman ay napapoker face lang.

"Umayos ka Adi." Sabi ni Pierra sabay tapik sa balikat nito.

"Ehh! Ayoko! Tinatakot nila ako e. Kasalanan ko bang natatakot ako sa multo." Pagrarason ni Adidas.

"Malamang, you can control your fear naman diba?"

"But ghost are different."

"Umayos ka kung ayaw mong tadyakan kita. At isa pa, huwag kang mag-alala. Hindi naman kita pababayaan." Then she smiled at her.

Adidas felt that Pierra is sincere and the assurance is there, so he unclasped his arms encircling to her. He sighed. "I should be the one saying that."

Mahinang tumawa si Pierra. "But now, you can't do it. You are bounded with your fear."

Adidas crossed his arms. "Hmp! Whatever."

"Who among you here can answer the riddle. You have three chances or else I'll cut everyone's life." The voice said again, who seems amused looking at them.

Crimo and Mosley is now wracking their brains out, while West is using his eyes to see the corners of the room. He looks relax. Hindi siya nababahala kung sino ang kalaban.
