Chapter 112: Risky Divulgence

My heart was beating so fast, it's palpitating hard. I couldn't be hasty and worry more at the moment. I am riding Gleeson Aiden's back to the council room. We successfully sneaked in and I'm determined to mess the current happening inside. We were chased by the council sentries tho but we managed to enter. There's a hearing about the case of Intrepid. Mukhang totoo ang sinabi ng council na kumuha kay Intrepid, pupugutan ng ulo ang maharlikang bampirang iyon at hindi ako papayag. Kahit na ikapahamak ko pa, hindi ko na hahayaang muling mahulog sa malalim na hukay ang mga paa ni Intrepid. For freak's sake, he did nothing wrong even in the past but he keeps on getting punishments he don't deserve.

I have fallen so deep that I can't help but to think about Intrepid's safety even if it'd be my doom. My mind's not clear from that moment. Aiden opposed me several times but I dominated him and he said he's compensating from his faults. Wala siyang nagawa nang nagpumilit ako, dahil mas lalo akong magagambala kung hindi ko magagawa ang gusto kong gawin. I swore to the firmaments, I'll do the thing Adastreia Saffira did not do; I'll save Intrepid whatever the cost.

I'm sweating hard, my heart has been steeplechasing with full speed horses. We're on our way to the council room. It's kinda impossible for me to hear or know what's happening inside but my divination ability helped me. Kahit na napasailalim ako ng Crimson spell ay hindi nawala ang abilidad ko na abilidad din ni Saffira noon. We are Divines and divination is a special and very rare ability a Divine has. I remember everything now, and I am understanding everything now. Meaning, the end is near.

I felt my eyes glow when a voice echoed in my mind, it came from the council, my ability's working; "The Dauntless is knocked up in his cell. It took us a lot of men to stop him." I heard someone talked inside the council, probably a sentry, "He beat up several sentries. Two hundred men lost their consciousness. Had we have not injected him a sleeping pill, we would not be able to stop him."

I gasped, I shred a tear and Aiden's grip on my legs got tighter. Vampires have a wide range of hearing, he probably heard that too. Or if not, he must've felt how I tensed. I began trembling; this can't be happening. What world and mess have I entered? Why is this so messed up?

"All right. He's done enough unpleasant activities," It was a minister's voice, "Shall we talk about the punishment for Intrepid Dauntless? This time, he will be banished. Or let's just behead him this time."

"Sir, I am afraid we cannot take a Dauntless' life that easy. They don't...die."

My eyes dilated in shock. They don't die? I've also heard them said such thing, If I am not mistaken with what I reminisce I've heard Intrepid said they don't die. What does that mean? Just when I thought I know some things, then I realized I never know everything, just literally some crazy little things. The biggest things were out of my reach, and I don't think I can handle them. Just hearing how impossible it is for the Dauntless people to die puzzles and creeps the hell out of me. Just how possible is that? Is it because of their Luna? Then what about the other clan or vampires with Luna?

"Ah yes, I remember. That's why putting him under a spell is the best choice for us. Unfortunately astonishing, he survived."

"Still, we shall try beheading him. Who knows, it might work this time around." The minister sounded so sure but he eventually took his words back, "Oh, resurrection is a curse and a blessing at the same time for the Dauntless'. Just how are they so lucky and unfortunate at the same time?"

My sweats drifted down my entire body like rushing river. My eyes twinkled when I saw the council door. We are near. My eyes narrowed as Gleeson Aiden doubled his run. He is also determined to save Intrepid. I can feel it. The Royal Dauntless, Ferdinand and Lumier has a strong bond. They must be something in the past. The precious trio.
