Welcome, Player

Chapter Fifty-Five: The Northern Continent

"Well, that's my guildmates they want to kill!"

"Pero may nagawa silang masama sa-sa-!" umiwas siya ng tingin. "Sa amin..."

Sinamaan siya ng tingin ng kasamang babae bago tumingin sa'kin. "Isa ka din Sol! You upped those fees inside Takara and now we can't enter! You're no better than them!"

Isang nakakakilabot na ngisi ang ginawa ko. "Oh... really?"

Dahan-dahan kong kinuha ang espada at iyon ang nagpatigil sa ilan sa kanila. A few stepped back but those who did not see continue running.

Ngunit noong bandang gagamitin ko na ang [Slash] ay naramdaman ko ang isang mabigat na bagay. Feyre, Voldmir and Minerva jump and landed on me. Napaatras ako at ang sunod ko na lang na nalaman ay nakahiga na ako sa malamig na nuwebe. At may tatlong tao sa ibabaw ko.

"Get... off..." mahina kong wika dahil sa lamig at bigat nila.

"N-Nasaan tayo?" nanginginig na tanong ni Feyre.

"Waaa..." Minerva is already sitting in the snow, unmoving and in trance.

Talagang ang ginaw. Wala akong makita kung hindi ang snow lamang at ibang ice. There are also heaps of snowy mountains and it was too cold. Lalo na sa suot naming hindi magandang pandepensa mula dito.

"Welcome to the Northern Continent!"

I looked behind me and saw the cousins smiling mischievously. Nakasuot sila ng malalaking parkas at kompleto sila sa waterproof boots, gloves and hat and neck warmer. While the seven of us looks like we're going to die from freezing already.

"Ba...kit wa-wa-walang may nag...sabi na," Feyre gulped. "Napaka...la-lamig dito?"

"Oh, we didn't?" magiliw na tanong ni Ais. "We must have forgot."

"Yes! So forget... this!" aniya at agad na inatake si Ais.

Kung atake nga ba ang tawag do'n. Feyre was moving in a slow manner, para siyang zombie na naglalakad. Hanggang sa tuluyan siyang matalo ng lamig and she fell face-first on the snow.

"Please help us. We have one man down," turo ko kay Feyre. "And five man losing their minds."

Matagal nang nagshutdown ang systems nina Priamos, Hex at Vesta. Nakatayo na lang sila ngayon at nanginginig sa ginaw. Minerva is in trance while sitting. Voldmir is using Cerbe to heat him up. Feyre's dead on the ground while I'm covered in Periphas wings - to protect me from the cold.

"Check your bags. We've already assigned northern wears for the seven of you." saad ni Cord.

Mas mabilis pa sa'king tumingin ang mga kasama ko. Feyre who was once dead on the ground came back alive after wearing it.

"Yes! Now this is what I call winter!" sigaw niya at tumakbo-takbo.

"Yey! I love winter po!" Minerva also ran with her.

Parang hindi lang sila nagshutdown kanina.

The seven of us stilled when we heard a loud flapping in the air. Na para bang may isang malaking halimaw ang dadaan. And true enough, something flew above us. A dragon about as big as Asteria city appeared. He covered the sun and loomed over us. Nalaglag ang panga ko habang tinitingnan siya at ang ilan pang dragon na nasa paligid.

"A cold weather," biglang wika ni Ais. "And the homeland of dragons. Welcome to the Northern Continent."

"This is where we'll do the quest?" tanong ko. "I hope it's not the dragons which we'll face."

Nagkibit siya ng balikat. "Who would know, you know~?"

Ipinakita sa'min ni Ais ang mapa ng buong kontinente. Itinuro niya ang kuwebang papasukan namin para kunin ang susi. It was along one of the snowy mountains. It has a cave near the summit, and it houses the queen of the dragons. Our quest was simple. Go in and get the key from her nest.
