She pointed her trident at me while pulling me closer. Pinikit ko ang mga mata ko nung ilang metro na lang ang layo ko sa kanya. Bigla akong napangiti at naalala ko sina Mama at Papa. Siguro ganito ang naramdaman nila nung niligtas nila ang Capital mula sa Exorcists seven years ago.
Protecting someone might not make us stronger, but it makes you do things that you didn't or can't usually do. It takes courage to protect someone and in that sense, it makes you strong.
"Now, face your punishment!" she shouted but I remained calm.
"Phoebe, your first priority is Lexi. Heal and protect her," I said inside my mind and I heard Phoebe's screech. I can feel that she's complaining and I hate using my guardians as tools but this time, I need to. "Phoebe, this is an order."
I opened my eyes.
"Phoebe, cies kai!" I chanted. Her spirit particles scattered and at the same time, Serena's trident came face to face with me. Phoebe's flame enveloped Lexi and seeing that made this move worth it.
I was about to embrace my death but then a loud, thunderous growl stopped Serena's action. Then suddenly, we were surrounded by blazing fire. Pagkakita ko nun ay isa lang ang naisip ko.
Si Papa.
Napatingin ako sa paligid para hanapin siya at ang guardian niyang si Flarion. They are the only ones I know that can produce this intense heat. I desperately scanned the surroundings, hoping that I could see them, but there was nobody aside from us.
Nagulat na lang ako sa malakas na pagsigaw ni Serena at nung tinignan ko ulit siya ay nababalot na siya ng apoy.
"S-stop it!" she shrieked as she tried to extinguish the fire. "Damn you!"
"A chimera's fire is eternal. It can never be stopped."
Nung narinig ko ang boses na 'yun ay parang lumubog ang puso ko. Agad kong tinignan ang pinanggalingan ng boses at nung nakita ko siya ay hindi ko na napigilan ang emosyon ko. Tuluy-tuloy na tumulo ang luha ko.
"T-tito..." Nagcollapse ang binti ko at napaupo ako sa lupa.

Tito Leon appeared while riding Largus, a chimera and his main guardian. Binuhat niya ako papunta sa pwesto ni Lexi. Nakita ko ang pag-aalala, lungkot at galit sa mga mata niya nung nakita niya ang kalagayan ni Lexi. Bumigat tuloy ang pakiramdam ko dahil nangyari kay Lexi 'yun sa kagustuhan niyang iligtas ako.
"Largus, bantayan mo sila," sabi ni Tito at hinarangan naman kami ni Largus, at ganun din ang ginawa ni Phoebe.
Lumakad siya papunta kay Serena na nagawang pigilan ang pagkasunog ng buong katawan niya pero mukhang nagamit niya ang halos lahat ng lakas niya dahil doon. Nang makita niya si Tito Leon ay biglang nagbago ang expression niya. She looks horrified.
