Hindi ko alam kung maiinis ba ako sa mga batang ito o matatawa. Huminga ako ng malalim pilit na pinakalma ang sarili, habang sila ay patuloy na nasa harapan ko.

"What do you both want?" I ask with a hint of cold tone...well, they were used to it. Ever since they turned three and learned how to talk.

"We want po sana sumama sa adventure mo po kuya, kaso di po namin alam kung paano magpaalam po kay papa..." Delian and Delia said at the same time while fiddling their fingers.

Oh, besides spending those years training, I also dedicated time to painting, drawing, and having adventures like exploring other kingdoms without getting caught by soldiers or guards who were searching for me.

It's been 5 years yet they still kept on finding or searching for my existence....and I don't know why.

"Then go and ask Seb, I'm not your parent- ah!" I hissed at the pain while rubbing the back of my head

"How many times have I told you not to talk with YOUR siblings like that?!" And patting my head with a kinda strong force.

Kung nagtataka kayo about sa sinabi niyang 'Your siblings thingy'. Well, Seb claims me as if I were his own child...

I kept calling him by his name because I wanted to, and he was used to it. Sometimes, he scolded me because I kept calling him that.

"Ah! Stop it Seb! ah! Okay, okay. Ow! I'm sorry!!" I plead while trying to run away from Seb's grasp.

"Tsk! Subukan mo lang na ulitin yang pananalita mo at hindi lang iyan ang matatanggap mo mula sakin!" Pasigaw na saad niya at tinigil ang panghahampas sa akin.

Rinig ko naman ang paghagikgik ng kambal kaya inis ko silang tiningnan, dahilan upang humagikgik ng todo.

But their giggles ended when Seb looked at them like a 'strict-looking mother', Well, he really is the mother of the twins.

Yup! Kambal ang anak nila kuya Seb and Mr. Savior.

"At kayong dalawa, walang sasama kay kuya Galen niyo. Final." Strictly said by Seb as he crossed his arms across his chest.

"Pero pa... gusto po namin sumama kay kuya Len" they whined while pouting and stomping.

"Pero pa~" Seb playfully imitated his children making me snickered behind them.

"No. Masyadong mapanganib kapag sasama kayo, what if some bandits came into your way katulad ng nangyari noon sa kuya Galen niyo?? Buti sana kung mapro-protektahan kayo ng kuya Galen niyo agad-agad. " Seb added causing them to frown.

They give me a 'kuya, please help us here' look, but I playfully stick my tongue out at them, causing them to frown even more. I snickered.

"Let them Seb, I promise I will take care of them. Pupunta lang naman ako sa Honō Kingdom para bumili ng mga libro at art supplies po" I said as I walked towards the twins and poked their foreheads.

'Damn...I fvcking miss hugging Keiji and poking his forehead...' I consciously thought

"Fine. Make sure you all come back in one piece." Said by Seb making the twins jump in excitement, hugging their father so tight and immediately went inside to pack their things up. ( ;Nasa terrace po sila hehe^^)

"Seb? Um, I think we'll be spending three days at the Honō Kingdom... I want them to enjoy their first adventure with me, please?"

He sighs "Okay, as long as you three are safe...let me hug you" said as opening his arms.

I smiled, hugging him so tight as he did the same thing to me.

"My little prince Galen is growing up already. Don't get caught by those soldiers or guards okay?"

Letting go of the embrace and smiled

"Of course, I'm an expert when it comes to hiding" I proudly said as I grinned like a child that was given an ice cream., showing my ('cute') boxy smile.

Tumango na lamang si Seb bilang pagsang-ayon sa sinabi ko at tumawa habang ginugulo ang buhok ko.

-Jared

"I'm home" said by me as I entered the house that was owned by kuya Roy.

"Finally, how's school??" Ibinaling ko naman ang aking paningin sa direksyon ni kuya Roy na nakaupo at nagbabasa ng dyaryo.

Kalmadong akong pumunta sa kanyang kinaruruunan at umupo sa kaniyang tabi.

"Okay naman po, palagi nilang tinuturo yung mga naituro niyo sa'kin. And I've learned a few techniques that I can use with my nature and normal energy"

"What about Ru? Did he take care of you?"

"Opo, palagi pong punupunta si teacher Ru sa dorm at chine-check kung okay lang ako at kumakain ako." Masayang tugon ko sa kaniyang tanong

Tumigil siya sa pagbabasa at nilagay ang dyaryo sa maliit na lamesa sa harapan at tumingin sa akin, he pat my head causing me to smile.

I'm so thankful he adopted me as his little brother. Yes, he adopted me. He and kuya Seb have been taking care of me ever since Galen let me come with them... celebrating my birthdays with them is the best days I've ever experienced in my life

"He has to..... you are growing up so fast, you're almost at my height." Said as he chuckled lightly kaya napatawa din ako ng kunti.

"How about you spend your vacation with them?" I brighten up, I get up and immediately go to my room to pack things up. Rinig ko pa ang tawa ni kuya Roy habang ako'y umaakyat sa taas.

-Vladimir

"So, how and where are you two gonna spend your vacation?" Rhory asked, mine and my twin's best friend. The prince of Honō Kingdom.

"We don't know....maybe we will spend it by finding our little brother, again. It's been 10 years, and still we couldn't find him" said Evander with his emotionless expression.

"Oh come on you two, you've been spending your every vacation by finding your little brother. You two need some time to enjoy your life." Rhory said as he looked at me and my twin.

"How about you two come with me at our kingdom? Let's explore some places there and invite Kaena to join us. We can go to the hot spring to relax or maybe visit the forest" He added causing me to think.

We spent our time or vacation searching for our little brother but still we couldn't find him...maybe, just maybe we have to rest for a while.

Me and Evander look at each other and nod at Rhory. Rhory smiled in victory and dragged me and my twin to pack our things up.

-Galen

"Kuya Len? Where are we going po?" Delian asked as we kept on walking.

While his twin sister was on my back- sleeping peacefully, such a sleepy head.

"Hmm...at the Honō kingdom, we're going to explore some places there and buy some things...or maybe go to the famous hot spring."

"Really?!! Do they have dragons there?!!" Delian asked excitedly.

"I don't know...maybe, people say that they were hard to see and catch."

"Awww....but is there a chance to meet the dragons??" Curiously ask as he tilts his head....kawai.

"Hmmm, I think so...come on let's keep moving before it gets dark" I said

He responded with a 'hai!' as we continue to walk
