"Magigising na rin sila maya-maya."


I crossed my arms and look down at them of them who's lying on the three separated bed.


Keller, Drishti, and Raelle is unconscious and covered in wounds. I was also notified by the ritual oracle found on their backs, as the process of hypnosis.


Mayroon ring ganoon si Xena but she manage to prevent it from controlling her body. Although, that's what she said, I still can't help but to glance at her from time to time.


Yoon---who's my Dad's friend---were found inside the palace. Where the secret room is located. He got captured by Blazh again, making us unable to contact him before we battle.


He said he have something to tell me later. Siya kasi ang gumagamot sa tatlo.


I was said to be unconscious for 46 hours after fighting. But I can't really say that I'm fully healed na.


The oracle in their back unfortunately stays there forever. Yoon can process the removal of hypnosis but not that thing. He said it's embedded.


Kai, who just woke up, immediately discuss the burial of Sejin.


My heart clench to that. I couldn't even eat thinking about it. I was preoccupied again when I thought I can finally have a peace of mind.


Pero pagkagising ko 'yon agad ang bumungad sa akin.


"I don't feel okay, Red." I whispered when we are sitting on the bed inside my room. He keeps on patting my shoulders while my head is resting on his chest.


"Do you want me to take care of it?"


Umiling ako. I can't pass more of my responsibilities to him. Hindi niya 'yon obligasyon lahat. I'm thankful enough to have him here, I would like to make him stay...for me.


Days passed, I found myself inside the Palace.


Walang emosyon akong nakatingin sa taong nasa harapan ko. He's having tea like any other normal days.


"Is it hard to lost your arm?"


I asked the old man. Lumingon siya sa akin at bumuntong hininga nang makita ako. Hindi man lang niya naramdaman ang presensya ko. I can't believe it.


"Still mad at me?"


Umupo ako sa isa pang upuan at bumuga ng hininga. "I was never mad at you. I'm just frustrated on why you left us all that day." I admitted. "I feel lost, you know?"


He pressed his lips. "I'm sorry, Princess."


Nang makita ko siya no'ng nakaraan ay hindi ko alam kung ano ang dapat kong maramdaman. I feel frustrated, yes, but  also feel sorry at the same time. Kaya hindi ko magawang magalit sa kan'ya. Pero hindi ibig sabihin no'n ay tanggap ko 'yon.
