YRRIAFADIA : A World of Wizards

39

Genevieve's POV

Kung mayroon mang hindi nalalaman ang iba na alam naming mga Royals, isa na roon ay ang existence ng mga Phoenix rulers. They are said to be either the roots or the living signs of an upcoming war which needs to be exterminated immediately.

They are legends to many but to us is an unspoken mission. We are always ordered to kill them once we encounter one, but what's this?

Like what the f-ck is this?!

Ron Dmitri Friz, the prince of Yeri—I mean the heir of Neroi is an ice phoenix ruler? Ginagago ba kami ng tadhana?

Wait—does that also mean na may paparating na digmaan? Oh f-ck! The octagon needs to know this!

Mataman kong tiningnan si Ron na ngayon ay hirap na hirap na lumanghap ng hangin.

"Is Vynette your mate?" Hindi ko na napigilan pa ang bibig ko. According to the legend, powerful creatures do have mates, including those natural habitants of the magic world. Phoenix rulers are not an exemption, especially that they needed mates to take care of their phoenix eggs before they hatch.

Gulat namang napalingon sa akin ang dalawa.

"What the hell? Now I know why you're acting strange ever since she came, man!" Humalakhak si Xander pero agad din siyang nakatikim ng batok mula kay Phillip. Mukhang naggagantihan na ang dalawa. Tss.

"Let's go. Baka kung ano pa ang mangyari sa kanilang dalawa." Agad akong sumang-ayon.

"Be safe, Ron. We'll be back." I assured him na ikinatango lang niya. Nagkatinginan lamang kaming tatlo bago sabay-sabay na tinakbo ang direksyong sinabi ni Phillip sa amin.

Vynette, we're coming to save you. This time, I'll make sure we're not going to fail again.

Vynette Alicia's POV

I cannot—sh-t—why am I acting like this?

"Roela!" Napapikit ako dahil pakiramdam ko ay may pumupokpok sa ulo ko sa bawat ingay na naririnig ko. Arghh!

"Is she alright? What should we do to calm her down?!" Natatarantang ani ni Kelly.

Hindi ko na maramdaman ang nasa paligid ko dahil sa panlalabo at pamamanhid ng katawan ko.

Neon...please... save the egg...please...

'Master! Are you okay?'

Para akong nakakita ng pag-asa nang marinig ang boses ni Neon sa isipan ko.

Can you come out?

'Just state your command, master'

Paano? Hindi ko alam kung paano kita dapat i-summon.

Nagpakawala ako ng hangin nang wala na akong narinig sa kaniya. What should I do?

Habang patagal nang patagal ay tila nawawala na ako sa ulirat. I could hear my loud breathing at ramdam ko ang higpit ng pagkakahawak sa akin ni Roela. Pero kahit ganoon ay tila lumulutang lamang ako sa hangin habang mas lalong umiinit ang pakiramdam ko.

I tried to close my eyes as if it would ease my pain pero mas nakadagdag lang iyon sa kirot ng ulo ko. F-ck! I need to do something!

"The White light..." I whispered under my breath unknowingly. "The white light which shines on us..."

As if on cue, there's an overwhelming energy which began to spread in my system. Mas lalo kong nilakasan ang boses kung kayat natigilan ang mga kasama ko.
