The fear crawled inside my body. “Then . . . you know what I am?” I asked, my voice almost a whisper.
“Yes. I mean, yes? Teka! I can’t read . . . your mind,” she said low with disbelief.

“Huh?”
“Huh? Ano, I said that’s not good,” palusot ko.
“Siguro ang former Bearers ang may gawa nito,” she guessed.
“Maybe. Hindi naman kasi makatarungang binabasa mo iniisip ng lahat, Suwan. Everyone has the right to own privacy of information.”
She sighed. “Ang daya naman, oh,” she complained.

“Who is he?” I whispered and Xayl’ beside me tried to respond nang maunahan siya ng lalake sa harapan.
“I am Loki, the former Bearer of Leo,” his voice roared all over the room.
