Lin Trix's P.O.V
"We cannot send half of our Seniors to assist the Zens, we must deploy all of our QinMe around OUR land... That's the best thing we should do!" Sigaw ng aking tito mula sa second branch.
"But both our lands are covered by my daugh- by LinLe's student, it's best to support our allies with what we have, kahit iyon manlang ay ating mai ambag sa kanila!" Saad ng aking ama.
Most of my family are against na papuntahin ang kalahati ng mga Senior ng aking Clan para maging assist kina Yoinie at ZenSe, it's mostly because the Zen's reputation isn't as good as before...
"Zen won't be around for the next generation- let's all admit it, hindi na sila ganon kalakas mula nang mawala ang kapatid ni ZenLe, at kahit gaano kalakas ang ZenLe, kung wala siyang katuwang upang protektahan ang kaniyang Clan, bale wala ang kaniyang paghihirap! Nabaon na sila sa utang saatin, kung hindi lang dahil diyan sa anak mo ay tiyak hindi sila makakahingi ng tulong kay LinLe-" Saad ng isang Elder namin mula sa 2nd Branch.
"Huwag ninyong kalimutan ang inyong mga posisyon sa usapang ito, our 1st Qin IS the LinSe and we all must show our respect towards her... And after all what the Zens did to us? I cannot believe I am related to any one of you!" Sigaw ng aking ama.
"Ama, ako na po..." Pigil ko sa kaniya dahil baka atakihin nanaman siya sa puso.
Tumayo ako mula sa aking kinauupuan at naglakad palapit sa malaking lamesang pinaliligiran ng aming mga Elders.
"Zen Clan may not be in their best state but tandaan natin lahat ng kanilang ginawa para sa mundo, they are the best healers we could ever have and we are lucky they are one of our allies in this war. If we don't treasure them, it's our lost. If Elder Jin Sei failed to overthrow JinLe, how are we supposed to fight a monster? Kahit ang aking asawa na si LinLe cannot fight that monster without the help of Zen clan, only the Zen could neutralize their poison- at huwag ninyong kalimutang si Zen Zero and lumigtas sa aming anak, isang Zen!" Saad ko na ikinagulat nila.
Alam nilang nabihag ang aming mga anak ng Jins, ngunit ngayon ko lang sinabi kung sino ang nag ligtas sa kanila!
"Ang anak ng dating 2nd Zen?"
"Zen Rox?!"
"May anak ang kapatid ni ZenLe?"
"Oo, kaya dumalo sina LinLe sa CaJin dahil dito!"
"Gaano kaya ito kagaling sa Cultivation upang magawa niyang maunang mailigtas ang anak nina LinLe keysa kay LinLe?" Bulungan sa paligid.
Kay bilis kumalat ng balita na may anak si Zen Rox-
"Hindi ba't si Zen Rox ang The Undead?..." Saad muli ng Elder ng 2nd Branch, ang kanina pang kumokontra.
If I know, he's only doing that because he was suppose to marry ZenLe's mother, the 'Madame Zen', the most beautiful and powerful healer in her time!
"The Undead?"
"Masamang balita iyan, paano kung si Zero ay ang The Undead na nagpapanggap lang, alam nyo naman kung gaano kagagaling ang mga Spirit pag dating sa-" Bulungan nanaman na aking kinainis!
"Kung wala kayong sasabihing maganda ay manahimik nalang kayo!" Saad ko na ikinatahimik nila.
Minsan lang ako magalit dahil pinalaki ako nina ina na isang mahinhin na babae, ngunit kung ganito lamang at walang kahihinatnan ang pagpupulong na ito ay hindi ako mag dadalawang isip na ipakita sa kanila ang totoong ako!
"Zen Rox has nothing to do with The Undead, what ever that Spirit has done to this land will not change what he did while he was living-"
"What do you know about Zen Rox anyway? He refused you the second he knew you were about to be married to him-" Saad ni 2nd branch Elder na aking ikinatigil.
*Blag* Bagsak ng kaniyang walang malay na katawan.
"If no one else plans to disrespect my daughter and our authority as the head of this clan, this meeting is over... Paki kauha na si Elder Baan" Saad ng aking ama bago kaladkarin si 2nd Branch Elder.
Dealing with family member outside the main branch will always be intense, they will always be displeased with the ones who's in charge of them!
"Huwag mo nang pansinin ang sinabi ng iyong tito, Elder Baan tends to overstep his boundaries but he's one of my best Cultivator-" Lapit saakin ni ama habang hinihimas ang aking ulo.
"Alam ko po ama, and besides I didn't mind being rejected by the 2nd Zen..." Ngiti ko sa kaniya bago naglakad palabas ng pintuan.
I just had a small crush because we always see each other every week, I was overjoyed when it was announced to me that my parents chose Zen Rox as the candidate to be my husband but the second former ZenSe heard the news, they declined it immediately- we did not know the real reason but I understand and moved on... Now that I am married, I will never wish for a different ending, Lin Hien will always be my beloved!
And I am grateful that Zen Rox used to be the highlight of my weekends whenever I was sent to restore his lost Orbs after his missions, and that's just that!
"I have to go, please take care!" Yakap ko sa aking mga magulang.
Ngumiti naman saakin ang aking ina na naka upo sa isang upuang may gulong.
"Mag iingat ka anak!" Saad ng aking ina bago siya alalayan ng aking ama, itinulak ni ama ang upuan ng aking ina upang maka atras sila.
Ang dating masiglang ina ngayon ay naka upo na lamang sa upuang may gulong, wheelchair ang tawag ng mga tiga Cullaisten... My mother became weak and crippled after fighting The Undead that attacked our Capital town, CaQin 8 years ago. And if it weren't for the TriZen, the whole citizens of our capital cannot survive that attack!
"Alis na po ako!" Saad ko bago lumabas ang aking Harp, Weapon.
*Strum* Binalot ako ng liwanag at lumabas ang aking mga pakpak.
The blessing of our ancestor, fairy wing, a very rare ability our Clan could have. I flew towards the mountains of LinSan, ilang minuto lamang ay nakarating na ako sa LinUa, kung saan ay nag aanay ang aking asawa.
"Mahal? Bakit hindi mo nalang ako inantay sa loob?" Saad ko maka lapag sa lupa.
Minsan ko lamang itong gamitin dahil nakakaubos ito ng Orb, kung wala lang War ay aabutin ako ng ilang oras sa pag baybay ng ilog ng Jin... Pero dahil importante ang oras ngayon ay minabuti ko nang gamitin ang sikreto ng Qin clan!
"Wala bang naka kita sa iyo?" Yakap saakin ng aking asawa.
"Wala naman, huwag kang mag alala!" Halik ko sa kaniyang pisngi.
"The kid's here, and he brought bad news!" Saad niya na aking ikinakaba!...

Rox's
"Zero!" Sigaw ni LinLe habang natakbo sa aking gawi.
"Huh- ahh!" Sigaw ko ng yakapin niya ako ng mahigpit.
Naramdaman ko namang may pamilyar na enerhiyang bumabalot sa kaniya, I felt like I've known this before... It's not the same Craft she's using whenever she's restoring my Orb, but it was similar-
"Kamusta sina Yoinie?!" Saad niya matapos siyang hilain paatras ni LinLe.
"A- ayos naman po, ZenLe's training our Cultivators for the possible war and ZenSe told me to say hi to you for her!" Saad ko na ikinatawa niya.
She seemed calm but I felt her heartbeat earlier, she's tense... LinLe must've told her what happened.
"Lord Rivoan!" Bati ni LinSe kay Axcel.
"Good day LinSe!" Saad ni Axcel bago niya ilahad ang kaniyang kamay.
Umilaw ito at may usok na may tatlong kulay ang lumabas!
'Stay away from the colors yellow purple and green!' Zenro's words echoed in my head.
*Thud* Bagsak ng aking inuupuan ng bigla akong tumayo.
"Zero?" Saad nila.
"Are you okay?" Lapit ni Axcel.
Dahan dahan akong tumango habang pinagmamasdan ang usok na may tatlong kulay sa palad ni Lord Axcel, tatlo ang kulay ng usok ngunit hindi ito naghahalo-
"That must be a very dificult Craft, what is that Lord Axcel?" Tanong ni LinLe habang pinagmamasdan lang ako ni Axcel kung okay lang ba ako.
"*Fake Cough* This is the Incantation- Craft I found inside Can and Ran's body, probably it was on Man's body too if it weren't for Zero's healing Craft..." Saad ni Axcel habang inaantay ang aming reaction.
Naramdaman ko namang nasa balikat ko ang isang kamay ni Lord Axcel na siyang ikina kalma ko.
"This is what poisoned the TriZen upon entering ShouUa, and it's very powerful Craft... It almost took three lives today, and a quarter of this Craft's Essence have your Clan's unique mana or this land calls Nature!" Saad ni Axcel na ikinagulat nina LinLe.
"What do you mean?" Saad ni LinSe.
"This Craft contains other three different Crafts that was miraculously combined into one! The purple is the Jin's Poison Craft, the Yellow is the Shou's Mist of Confusion, and lastly the Green, Qin's Exhaust Craft!" Saad ni Lord Axcel na ikinalaki ng mata ni LinSe
"M- my Clan was involved on making that Craft? H- how are you so sure?" LinSe
"One person from each clan is enough to make this Craft! But in order to create this complex spell, it must include the blood of a pure magic user- and the Zen's pure Nature is not enough to finish this Craft... And the last clan of pure Magic Essence was last seen more than 20 years ago, and that was from my continent..." Axcel
"If the Shou have this dangerous Craft, we must take action-!" LinSe
"We can't!" Putol ni LinLe
"What do you mean?" LinSe
"We cannot enter the CaShou recklessly, we must-" LinLe
"If it's you LinLe, it's not a problem..." Makabuluhang saad ni Axcel.
"Please elaborate." Saad ni LinLe.
"Because the Fog only affects the Zens!" Saad ni Axcel na ikinagulat ko.....
