While washing my hands on the sink here in the restroom, my mind keeps on rolling like 'what's the use of the eye?'. I don't know if it's really relevant but having this quite unusual tattoo at the center of the eye, I'm about to agree.


Three knocks on the door popped my bubbles in the head for too much analyzing. 


"Brother, someone's in the living room. Cain is here. Please hurry." said Dia.


I wiped my hands and quickly gone straight to the living area. Cain is walking around while looking at our pictures that are displayed on. 


"Dia is quite ugly," he said and burst into giggling.


"You know I can kill right at this moment Kekeyn!" Dia said irritatingly. 


"Eww, what's with you? Calling me like that and acting cute." he sat on one of our couch and look at me intently. "You killed a witch, aren't you?" he asked.


It's been 2 hrs since I killed the witch and it really travels like a wildfire.


"How did I know? Come on, the prayer! You didn't cut her head, don't you? She's Number Two for Pete's sake. The prayer flies like a wind with some little pixies! That prayer reaches the Paper Candles! Sa pugad nila, Louis! I'm not panicking, you are!" he hysterically states.


Cain is right. I'm panicking internally. 


I'm starting to bite my left thumb while thinking of a way to explain this to the higher witches. I know that they are banned but for some reason, we, pioneers, still treat them important. They sealed our father's body using spells that only witches can arrange. 


"We need to greet the First Degree witch," Dia suggested. "We can fix this, brother. Tell them our plans so they will consider it! Besides, we have nothing to lose." 


"You're wrong, sister." I bluntly said. "Our line of pioneers will be annihilated. We don't even have any idea who's behind this issue. What if the witches on First, Second, and Third Degree plan this? We never know."


"What's your plan. brother Deis?" Dia asked while flipping the pages of a garment magazine.


"Let's announce my successor." Deis forthright answered.


I accidentally bite my thumb because of what he said. "Too impulsive move there, Deis."


"This is not a chess game, brother Louis! We have to give them what they wanted and turn the tables. We don't have any choice but to submit...for awhile. Annie belongs to the top 5 Second Degree witches. They planned this carefully. I can feel it."


"How about Melissa? Does she belong in this...fucking plan?" Dia asked while her hands are dramatically acting like this issue is laid out in front of her, feeling disgusted.
