"Sino ka" tanong ko, bago sya tignan ng masama.
"Ah hahaha of course you won't remember me...thats understandable" sabi nya, at magsisinungaling ako kung sasabihin kong kaya ko syang talunin.
Isa syang Demon, ang mga nilalang na pinanganak na may angking magic power ng isang Mage na nagaral sa Golden Academy ng 20 years.
Who is she? Paano nya alaman ang tungkol sa pagkawala ng alala ko. Hindi kaya...
"Ikaw ba ang may kagagawan ng pagkawala ng alala ko" Samantha said in her calm and cold tone, completely different from what her inner self. She never felt this kind of fear before, she knows this girl is powerful. Hindi nya sukat akalain na matatakot sya ng ganito para sa sarili nyang buhay.
Tumingin ang Demon sa kamay ni Samantha na ngayon ay nanginginig dahil sa sobrang takot. Samantha hid her hands in her back before looking at the demon directly in her eyes.
She's awed how can this girl looked directly in her eyes with falling on her knees. She's been releasing her deadly mana to make her fall in her knees again, just like before.
Napakunot ang Demon ng makita nya ang kakaibang kislap ang mata ni Samantha.
Something is off about her.....this is not the girl I meet months ago... She thought.
"Sabihin mo....sino ka" Tanong ng Demon kay Samantha at napalunok si Samantha dahil sa gulat but she remain her cold expression.
"Hindi ko kailangang sagutin ang tanong mo. Demon" matapang na sabi ni Samantha, kaya biglang natawa ang Demon bago ito dahan dahang lumapit sya kanya. Na nagpanginig lalo sa mga kamay nya, she wanted to run so badly, she can't win this fight and she's certain she will kill her if she runs.
Demons Race, for over eighteen years of silence, why they making a small moves now? Are they planning something?
"Ha....Samantha you make my heart hurts, did you forget who I'am? Oh....Sorry Haha I forgot. Well I'm Xer" sabi ni Xer kay Samantha.
Samantha stood up, shaking mind to clear all the shits of her to wake up from her pitiful self.
Xer watch the young girl, on how she recover from her feared self into a fearless one. Hindi ka makakakita nito sa loob ng isang daang taon sa tanang ng buhay ng isang Demon.
"Naging mas matapang ka na kaysa sa huling pagkikita natin" Sabi ni Xer na kinatitig ni Samantha sa kanya, its like her emerald orbs is tempting Xer to fight her.
Xer looked at the barrier before walking near to it. Pinanood lang ni Samantha ang paglakad nito palapit sa Barrier bago ito lumingon sa kanya.
"We captured some rats here....perhaps thats the reason why you're here am I right?" Xer said while her red bloody eyes is darted at Samantha.
Samantha ables to gave her fake smiled before walking near to Xer. Xer smiles at Samantha's movement amused at her bravery to talk to her so calmy.
"Your right Ms. Xer, I do need to find that RAT you've been talking about, that RAT is a citizen from Salt Kingdom...and its my job to escort her back" Samantha said while looking at the mask lying in the ground, before looking at Xer.
"That Rat has nothing to do with us anymore...." Xer said making Samantha to lose her facade
"Anong ginawa nyo sa kanya" Samantha Angrily said she was about to pull her daggers when Xer blowed a powder on her face, making Samantha to fall on the ground.
"10th Princess...hindi pa ang oras ng pagkikita nating muli...hayaan mong buharahin ko muna sa isipan mo ang babaeng iyon....." Sabi ni Xer bago hawakan ng marahan ang ulo ni Samantha.
At mula sa paghawak nya rito ay nakita nya ang mga ilang sandaling alala ni Samantha kausap si Erin, binura ni Xer ang lahat ng usapan tungkol kay Death at sa pagkawala nito sa Ignus.
"There.....my dear 10th Princess....we shall meet again, but for now let bid our goodbyes" Xer said before walking pass to the ignus barrier while whistling, leaving Samantha on the ground.
***
Dinilat ko ang mata ko at nagulat ako ng makita ko kung nasaan ako. "Ignus barrier?" Usal ni Samantha at dahan dahan na tumayo habang nakatingin sa barrier.
"Anong ginagawa ko dito?" Tanong nya sa sarili bago subukang alalahanin ang dahilan kung bakit nya narito. At napangiwi sya ng maalala nyang sinundan nya ang isang Palmos papunta dito.
Palakad na sya paalis ng maisipan nyang lumigon sa kabilang panig ng Ignus Barrier. May kung anong pwersa ang nagsasabi sa kanyang kailangan nyang lumingon doon, pero sa paglingon nya ay wala naman syang nakita na kahit na ano doon.
"Anong bang nangyayari sayo Samantha ah" bulong nya sa sarili bago isuot muli ang hood ng coat nya para maglakad papunta sa direksyon kung nasaan ang Ancient Water Serpent.
***
As Samantha walk to the valley of Dandelions she saw a very familar figure of a guy with a grayish blonde hair who's playing with Ramvits.
"What is he doing?" She asked herself with smiling at his silly actions. Naritong sumayaw sayaw si Aris at nakakatuwa naman ang paggaya sa kanya ng mga Ramvits.
Samantha quickly hides when Aris suddenly turns to her direction. Making her to hissed and asked herself why the hell she's hiding?
"Sinong nandyan!" Matapang na sabi ni Aris bago nya hugutin ang water sword na mabilis naging yelo.
"Ow? So he manage to used his second element huh?" Samantha comment as Aris sways his sword from left to right.
Napatingin si Samantha kay Aris ng bigla itong yumuko at kinausap ang mga Ramvits, naakala mo ay nakikipagusap sa mga bata.
Samantha smiled but its dissapeared when she feels a level 999 monters going straight forward to Aris direction. She was about to warn Aris when a cute pink Rambit jump in her lap. She looks at the rambit before looking at Aris who's cheerfully playing with the other ramvits.
"You want me to stood by?" Samantha confusedly aksed, sa kung ano mang dahilan ay pakiramdam nya ay ngumiti ang ramvit na ito sa kanya.
"Bakit ba ko nakikipagusap sayo?" Tanong ni Samantha sa Ramvit nya ito ibaba sa damo. "Osige susundin kita pero kapag namatay sya ikaw may kasalanan, ikaw at ang mga kapatid mo ang babalikan ko" She said in her cold killer smile on her face making the poor cute ramvit to jump away in fear.
Samantha just chuckles before finding a Right spot to watch Aris to run at fear. Umupo si Samantha sa isang matabang Sanga habang nakatingin kay Aris.
"Your happiness is about to ruined in...3....2....1.." Samantha said before crossing her arms.
Aris suddenly feels the earth trembles at isa lang ang ibig sabihin nito para sa kanya. Takot syang lumingon sa masukal na damo at mula sa roon ay lumabas ang isang Leon na may tangkad na 11 feet, kulay lila ang balahibo nito sa ulo at may pares ng golden brown na mga mata na nakatingin sa kanya na para syang isang masarap na potahe.
"Ikaw na naman! Cacaw!" Sigaw ni Aris sabay hatak ng espada sa beywang nya pero nagulat sya ng wala syang mahugot mula rito, pagtingin nya sa mga ramvits ay nakita nyang bitbit ng mga ito ang espada nya palayo.
"Aissh naman e" inis na bulong ni Aris pero agad din syang napatingin sa harapan nya ng ungulan sya ng Earth Lion na si Calaweer. Isang Forest protector na tagapagbantay ng buong Vanumos Forest. Simula pagkabata ni Aris ay lagi syang hinahabol ni Cacaw (bulol kasi sya dati) at magugulat na lang sya kapag iniwan na sya nito ay nasa tapat na sya ng mansion nila.
"Cacaw....hehehe wag naman ngayon pwede? May sinasamahan kasi ako at.....aahhhhhhh wag mo ko kainin!" Sigaw ni Aris ng bigla syang sakmalin ni Calaweer kahit na hindi naman ito tatama sa kanya at nagtatakbo si Aris papunta sa kung saan.
Samantha laughs at her fullest when she saw Aris frighten face. "oh damn! Hahaha that was epic hahaha ah" Samantha laughs.
She recovered her posture before smiling again. "I guess Protector Calaweer has chosen his Master huh?" Samantha said before smiling.
She jumps from the trunk into the ground. "Its chasing time" Samantha said before running where Aris and Calaweer go.
***
"Waahhh ayoko na! Tatantanan mo na ko Cacaw!" Sigaw ni Aris na walang kasing bilis ang pagtakbo. Siguro kung sasali sya sa isang marathon malamang na mananalo sya.
"Don't run away from him!" Napatingin si Aris sa gilid nya ng marinig nya ang boses ng babaeng gusto nya. At nanlaki ang mata nya ng kasabay nya na itong tumatakbo, na may ngiti sa labi nito.
"S-Samantha!" Sigaw nya, pero ningitian lang sya ni Samantha.
"Alam mo, monters festival ngayon, kaya malamang na gusto kang maging Master ni Calaweer....give him a chance....kung tatakbo ka na lang ng tatakbo sa problema mo pano ka magiging malakas gaya ng Ama mo?" Samantha said as if they're not running.
Nilingon ni Aris si Calaweer na patuloy pa rin ang paghabol sa kanila. All his life this darn Lion always chase him to death, naging fast runner na nga sya dahil doon. Pero sa tuwing hinahabol sya nito ay nakakauwi sya sa kanila ng buo at ligtas. Naalala nya pa noong unang naligaw sya sa loob ng Vanumos Forest.
He saw those golden brown eyes loking at him in pitiful look as he cry while saying 'I wanna go home'. Calaweer growl at him making him to stood up and called Calaweer (Cacaw) instead of its name. Calaweer suddenly chase him so he have to run as far as he can be. But when Calaweer stops running he looked at the giantic Lion as its walks peaceful back to the forest. After that he heard his mother called.
Calaweer, has always been my protector back then, but I'm always running away from him. Pagtingin ni Aris sa tabi nya ay wala na si Samantha na kasabay lang nya kanina.
Aris bit his lower lip before halting. Naramdaman nya ang paghinto rin ni Calaweer, nilingon nya ito bago sya huminga ng malalim.
"Cacaw!.....hindi....Calaweer! Gusto kong itigil na ang pagtakbo nating ito!" Sigaw ni Aris kaya inungulan sya ni Calaweer
