*Capitolo Cinquentadue

Magsimula sa umpisa
                                    

Indeed, they are but they’re Vaguards that can almost par the Vulkan. Ngunit imbes na isatinig ito, I just shrugged. After that, wala ng nagsalita sa’min.

We are both silent the whole way 'til we stop beside a pair of double doors.

“Ready?” Xiangli

“Always” nakangising balik ko naman and at the same time he pushed the doors opened.

As he did, we are immediately greeted by powerful auras. Tulad ng dumating kami kanina ay mabilis na natuon na naman lahat ng mata sa’min particularly on the man beside me. But just like earlier, we just ignore them at tinungo ang bakanteng upuan. Mabilis na pinaghila ako ni Xiangli ng silya at nang tuluyan na akong maupo, umupo naman ito sa kanan ko.

Mabilis kong pinaglandas ang mata ko, all ten leaders were already here seated on their respective seats.

And finally, my eyes landed on them, the Elders. A sinister smile escape from my lips. Ngunit lalo pa itong lumawak nang mapako ang tingin ko sa hari ng South Kingdom. Hmm, I wonder if the Elders even knew that the man beside them is just Saeran’s persona.

Kahit sa pagtitipong ito ay di pa rin dadalo si Saeran. Well, madalang sa madalang naman ito talaga magpakita. Kung ako nga, isang beses ko palang nakakaharap ito simula ng nakawin ko ang katauhang ito, and that was when she found out about who I really am. Then the others were her persona na.

“Ah, I didn’t know that Ryker’s a gorgeous woman. And you also brought a guest.” Pagbabasag katahimikan ni Rowan Covington kaya napunta ang tingin ko dito.

“Why thank you, Mr. Covington. Ah, yes. Hope you don’t mind.” Kibit balikat na sagot ko.

Tila hindi naman nagustuhan ng karamihan ang tila pagsagot ko sa Elder na para isang normal na tao lang ito.

“Mind who are you talking to, Ryker.” Someone from the North angrily said.

“I just answered the old man.” Ako tapos tumingin kay Rowan, “Did I offend you or something?”

“You really pushing your luck.” Pagkaraa’y isang nagyeyelo’t nakakahindik balahibong tinig ang pumailanglang. Stopping Rowan from answering, kung sasagot man ito.

From the corner of my eye, I saw Xiangli or better to call him in his real name, Carson, clenched his jaws and his hand curled into a fist when the owner of the voice showed himself. But this only last for a couple of seconds bago ito bumalik sa pagiging kalmado.

Almost everyone in the room except the Elders, Hecate, Carson and me, immediately stood up from their seats at mabilis na nagbigay galang sa hari ng buong Zyralkire.

“I’m merely answering and asking your father.” Painosenteng sagot ko, “My king.” Pahabol ko pa at walang takot na sinalubong ang mata nito.

Halos gulat na napatingin sa’kin ang karamihan and then little by little changed it into deathly daggers. A look that want me ripped into pieces from answering back Paine.

“You mannerless dog.” Hindi na nakatiis na wika ni Cairo at the same time expelling some of his abilities.

Ngunit bago pa ito tuluyang tumama sa’kin ay I immediately controlled it. And of course, I wouldn’t just let him off the hook, so I sent it back to him taking him by surprise and so the others.

Some from the north, wanted to do the same to me, but I am faster than them. My invisible threads curled up around their body, immobilizing them, then the end point which is a sharp and poisonous needle, position on their chest where the heart exactly is.

“Okay, that’s is enough Ryker. So with you Cairo.” Pagkaraa’y malamig na utos ni Hecate sa’min.

Cairo’s already back on his feet and wiping the blood away from his mouth, but his eyes which are fixed on me, scream bloody murder.
