Bumaba kaming lahat sa carriage habang nakaabang yung mga tao sa among likoran. Yung iba nagpupustahan kung babalik ba kami, or ilang ang makakabalik samin. Yung iba naman malungkot kami na tinititigan. I saw Nathan with an old woman- probably her mother. He was really worried so I smiled at him to lifet his spirit up.

"Good luck on your journey" the man with the black suit na umassist ng Emperor dati

We already had plan our formation and unfortunately, I'm at the front, Prince Dylan and Lance will be in front of me. Aqua will be at the center because she's our healer and Velvet will be at Aqua's back.

Aqua casted a protection barrier on us and we started to walk. This brings back memories huh, walking into the forest but the only difference is that we're together and also we are in more dangerous forest.

"Let's go" Lance said at tuluyan na kaming pumasok.


The forest was normal. Hearing birds chipping, seeing butterflies flying and even other animals like rabbits hopping and squirrels climbing. We gathered some edible fruits in case something happens. 

Actually this forest is healthy but there is this region which humans didn't really reach not because they don't want to go in, they just can't. Aside from that, this forest has sunlight because the plants can't live without them so this forest is exempted from the kingdom's barrier. According to the citizens, there is this very high waterfalls na kahit anong gawin mo hindi mo makikita ang ilalim nito so if we jump, we won't know where we will land. Aside from that, Nathan's father did not reach that waterfall but encountered the T-rex already. Summing that up, once we get deeper in this forest, we will be encountering a looooot of monsters.

"Walking takes too much time but flying takes too much magic" I said and sighed

"We can carry our masters if ordered" biglang sabi ni Seraphiel at napatigil kami at nagtinginan lahat


We decided to fly but yung mga guardians lang namin. They all carried us, maliban kay Lance na ginamitan lang siya ng kapangyarihan ng Seraphim niya na si Maria. Our pace is a lot faster now that we are flying. I noticed that the tree's leaves are getting thicker and their is also a presence of light fog around us. Dahil sa kapal ng kahoy, we can't see the sun so we flew aove the trees and we can't even see dahil sa fog kaya bumaba nalang ulit kami. 

"Should we go faster?" Velvet asked

"Yeah we should. In that way, we can avoid fighting. We have to save up our magic. We don't know what's beyond that waterfall." Lance said and we nodded. He's a leader-type of person, buti nalang nandito talaga siya.

Gaya ng sabi ni Lance, mas binilisan pa namin yung paglipad but we noticed that the braches of the trees are crooked, as well as their trunks kaya napatigil kami. The fog is there and we can definitely feel a lot of magic around us as if they are waiting for us to split up and kill us.

"Monsters huh" I whispered

We heard running footsteps from everywhere kaya we all formed in circle position and Aqua as our center. She was giving us spells to maker our senses keener. 

"These footsteps are small and light, I don't think we are facing some kind of wild animal here." Prince Dylan said

"Yeah" Lance answered

The footsteps suddenly stopped kaya mas naging handa kami sa pag attake. Napatingin ako kay Diablo, he was calm and was eager to fight.

"Lance" I called at napatingin siya sakin
