Chapter Thirty-Three: Annessa

Chapter Thirty-Three: Annessa

"Annessa anong sabi mo?!" Gulat na tanong din ni Bryan. Habang si Alys ay natuwa at nag-sparkle ang mata

Hindi na sumagot sa tanong si Annessa at nilahad ang kamay niya, a set of keys appeared on her hand. Kulay ginto ang mga 'to, mukha ring gawa sa purong ginto, the designs are also exquisite. Unique only to them.

1... 2... 3... 4... 5.... 26?

Yaan panigurado ang mga Celestial Keys. 12 keys ay para sa Zodiacs at ang iba ay unknown na ang user lang ang may alam.

Malumanay na humarap si Annessa sa portal ruins at nag chant ng gibberish words.
Matapos pihitin ni Annessa ang susi ay unti-unting nagpakitang muli ang portal.

Nagalak sila Vellaine at lalo na si Alys nang makita niya na nasa harap na niya ang portal.

She clapped her hands in excitement then shook Annessa's hand repeatedly and thanking her nonstop at the same time.

Samantala, sa kabilang panig ng portal...

Na-alarma ang dalawang raong nagbabantay ng portal sa nangyari.

Nautusan sila na mag bantay sa portal, upang agad na malaman kung mayroong pagbabago na magaganap dito. They were to report everything—EVERYTHING that happens on the place.

Though matagal na panahon nang hindi bumubukas 'to ay hindi parin sila nawawalan ng pag-asa, they know the Voughs won't give up on them.

All of a sudden ay lumiwanag ang portal na binabantayan ng dalawa, angulat sila sa naangyaring pagbabago sa portal pero agad siilang tumakbo papunta sa main hall ng clan, kung nasaan ang mga elders, of course while screaming  and shouting that the portal is opening over and over on the way.

By the time they arrived at the main hall, nandoon na din ang ibang mga members, if not all.

Everybody was crowding around the now existing again portal. Matagal nilang hinintay ang panahon na 'to, some were skeptical and worried with its sudden reappearance, while some were rejoicing quietly as they saw that the portal was once again built, gusto na nilang pumunta na agad sa portal pero ang tanging pumipigil sakanila ay ang choice ng clan head, and also because wala pa siya dito.

Nang dumating ang clan head ay nahati ang crowd nila para mag bigay daan. The clan head stood at the front of the portal, observing it, running his hand onto his long beard.

"All of you stay here first, I will go out and see if it's safe." Sabi ng clan head. he had blonde hair with a beard and had the body of a body builder, guess he didn't have anything to do but to keep exercising.

Umangal ang mga clan members but with a wave of his hand, they all shushed... He meant that his decision was final at wala nang makakapigil sakanya. 

Without any more alms, he crossed the portal. Immediately after crossing ay nakita niya ang Princess Vough, ang anak ng mga Yereluv, isang di pamilyar na babae at ang babae na pinakapamilyar sakanya.

Agad na lumapit si Alys sa clan leader at inakap siya. She started to cry again and was turned into a crying mess once again, "Father, I can see you all again," She sobbed and smiled, masayang-masaya siya, ngayon lang ulit niya nakita ang ama niya at pati narin ang buong clan na nasa loob.

Nagagalak na niyakan pabalik ng clan head o tatay ni Alys, siya pabalik, "Alys, I thought I'd never se you again..." Sabi niya, with his eyes starting to water.

Ilang sandali pa ay sumunod na ang ibang mga members ng Bloodfallen Clan sakaniya nang mapansin nilang nagtagal ang clan head sa labas, hawak na nila ang mga weapons nila, ready to fite but instead they were greeted by the sight of a father-daughter pair shedding tears of joy.
