When Rave confirmed na sa Alexandria ang possible destination ng apat, he immediately reroute his plane to this Mediterranean city in Northern Egypt. Rave rented a stand alone villa na may malawak na garden at nasa harap ng beachfront.
"Asan si Rave? Bakit biglang umalis? Saan daw pupunta?" tanong ko pagdating namin sa villa at lagay ng gamit sa kwarto.
"Andito ko, si Rave hinahanap mo."
"Jelly ka na naman ba? Buntisin mo kaya ako para di ka magselos?"
Napatigil si Sage sa pag-aayos ng gamit. Akala ko aagree sa akin si Sage pero tinaasan niya lang ako ng kilay as if ayaw niya ng sinabi ko. Nakatingin siya sa akin as if nasusuklam.
Ayaw ba niya ng suggestion ko?
"Sage, ayaw mo ba? Sorna. Nagsusuggest lang naman..."
But Sage pulled my hands towards him. He cupped my face and kissed me. Walang pakialam kahit kasama namin sa labas ng kwarto ang ibang military men ni Rave.
"Ayoko ng suggestion mo, napaka unsophisticated..." bulong niya sa akin kahit di pa rin binibitawan ang labi ko. I quickly put my arms around his neck and kissed him.
"Anong gusto mong sabihin ko? Sage, I want to make love to you? Ganun?" mahina kong sabi habang tinatanggal ang shirt niya.
"That's fucking better!" he said as he scooped me and lay me on top of the bed. He positioned himself on top of me and kissed me as if nagmamadali.
"Are we going do this kahit may damit pa tayo?"
Pero di niya ko sinagot and he just sank his lips to mine and I kissed him with equal passion. Hanggang ngayon, di pa rin ako makapaniwala na asawa ko na ang lalaking to na dati lang ay binigyan ko ng chicken sandwich.
"Rei, I want to build a family with you, but not in this difficult times. I will just be putting you in so much danger."
"So binitin mo lang ako?"
"No... Silawin and Quinn just arrived... Let's continue this later on," nakangiti na sabi ni Sage sabay hila sa akin patayo sa kama.
He's right again. Dumating nga Si Uncle Syl at Quinn kasama si Phoebe, pero wala si Rave. Ngayon, sure na ako na may X-Ray vision talaga si Sage.
"Alastair was last seen here in this city and he is not alone," sabi ni Phoebe sabay bigay sa amin ng tablet kung saan may video footage ni Alastair with other two silver haired guy.
"They know how to hide in the security cameras but this time, they deliberately show themselves as if they are taunting us,", dagdag ni Phobe.
"Phoebe sino yung kasama niya?" tanong ko sa kanya.
"Alastair is with Azaroth and Azalar. If they are alive, Abraxas will soon wake up. Raviael thinks that their Angelus is hidden here in Alexandria or Abraxas is possible here.
"Bakit naman nakahiwalay pa yung Angelus nila sa kanila? Di pa pwede na maghibernate sila kasama ng swords nila?"
"Reichel, they hibernated to preserve their power, for it to be untapped and to grow overtime. They need to be away from their Angelus to do this. It is like the source of their power or their essence as a guardian. I don't have one because I am a low ranking guardian compared to them."
"Phoebe hindi ka siguro namin kilala na mabuti pero nagpapasalamat ako dahil tinutulungan mo kami," sabi ko sa kanya sabay hawak sa kamay.
Nakikita ko ang lungkot sa mata niya. Siguro dahil kapatid niya ang mortal enemy namin or dahil hindi kayang suklian ni Rave ang pagmamahal niya.
"Ako dapat ang nagpapasalamat sa inyo Reichel. Sayo Sage, Quinn at Silawin. Tinutulungan niyo kami ni Raviael. Ayaw niya lang ipakita pero alam ko, punong puno ng guilt si Raviael sa nangyari."
"Dahil iniisip niya na fault niya kung bakit nagrebelde si Lilith?" tanong ni Sage kay Phoebe.
Siguro nakakarelate siya kasi he also felt guilty nung naging vampire siya.
"Raviael and Lilith are the two most powerful guardians. Kung sa army, sila ang pinaka high ranking officials. Next ay ang mga silver haired guardians. There are eight of them. The four rebelled and became demons and the other four died fighting them but they gave up their Angelus to defeat Lilith in the future."
Siguro yung apat na sword hilt ang tinutukoy ni Phoebe.
"I am a low ranking guardian and I always admire Raviael from a far. I'm also aware that my sister loves him. But Lilith grew jealous. Una, dahil sa mga tao. Pangalawa, dahil kay Diwa. When my sister became a demon, nangibabaw lalo ang jealousy sa kanya. Sa muling pag gising niya, sigurado ako na manganganib ang sangkatauhan dahil sa kanya."
