Elysian Tale: Flare of Frost

Kabanata 64

Hey yo! It's midterm week. I've been busy with my heavy school requirements so I have no time to write. Pumuslit lang ako since I had no schedule for a day. Also, I'm a bit depressed 'cause a friend of mine betrayed and scam me. Please report Frenzy Kazu on Facebook, beware of him. He's a poser and a scammer. Don't easily trust anyone, even if they're your friends. Love lots and enjoy reading!

Ikatlong Persona

Nagngingit-ngit sa galit si Caiz sa himpapawid matapos masaksihan ang kapangahasang ginawa ng mga ito sa babaeng pinapahalagahan niya nang sobra. He saw everything. He waited for Frost to save her, but he didn't. This means he chooses his land over her. 

Caiz knew how Flare admired him, how they both love each other if it wasn't just because of the stupid curse that's keeping them apart. He was ready to let go of his lingering feelings towards her even if she was already engaged to him when she was still unborn.

Handa niya itong pakawalan. He's happy as long as she's happy, but after what happened today, he decided to take it back. He will never surrender her to him. He will never let the woman he loves be on the hands of a man who couldn't even defy his own land just to protect and save her. 

Binaba ng binata ang tingin niya't mas lalong lumagablab ang apoy ng mala-dragon niyang pakpak nang makita ang kalagayan nito. Puno ng mga sugat at gasgas ang mukha at braso nito. Ang noo nito'y may dugo't ang kiliran ng mata't labi niya'y mayroong pasa rito. 

She was lying on the ground with chains binding her wrists from her back. Those were sealing chains, restricting her from using magical prowess. That's the reason why he could not detect her magic. That's why she can't do anything and let these people harm her. 

His eyes are darting at those people who dared to throw rocks and hurt her. Pinanlisikan niya ito ng mata na naging dahilan upang mapaatras ang mga ito. As her knight, he could die just to protect her. He can kill anyone who would cause a threat in her life, and these people are just mere wasps he could easily destroy. 

All he could think of at the moment is to burn their sinful souls alive.

Ikinumpas niya ang kaniyang kamay at may lumabas roong naglalaglab na apoy. The fury of his flame matched the anger in his eyes, and it turned tenfold when Frost shielded those people who made her suffer. 

He said he loves her, but there he is, protecting the people who hurt her. How ironic.

Ang mga taong kanina'y puno ng takot at pangamba ay biglang nabuhayan ng loob at nagkaroon ng pag-asa. Bakit nga ba sila makakaramdam ng takot kung nariyan naman ang kanilang mga mahal na hari't reyna na handa silang ipagtanggol laban sa sino mang mananakit sa kanila. 

Well, that's what they think. They had no idea of the war that was about to happen, that their lives will only become sacrifices, and that they are worth nothing to the royalties.

Anger was the only expression seen in Caiz' face as he watched the woman he treasured the most lifted her head to gaze at Frost. How could she be so persistent with her love towards him when he don't even care about it. Can't she see he rather choose the people who did her wrong instead of her! 

"Stay away from her." Caiz warned him. Nakita niya kung paano pumatak ang butil ng luha sa mata ng binata habang nakatingin sa dalaga, subalit hindi siya natinag sa luhang iyon. Those tears meant nothing when he can't even protect her. 

"You already made your own choice. Protect your people, and I'll protect her." Frost blinked an eye and tried his best to breath properly upon Caiz' words.
