Chapter: Chapter 46"That Argon... I don't like him." Vanessa blurts out with a whimper. "What's his right to command all draconian to meet him? I wish Father will put him in the right place!" Vanessa continues, as she walks with Amira along the hall. They're to meet the most sovereign, Douman, in his chamber.Argon and Mandel have had a serious talk. To what it was all about, Amira has no idea. She doesn't want to meddle in their business, but her gut is sending her a warning. She fears what the dragons are going to do next. All she can hope for is for her kind to settle on the power they haveShe hasn't spoken to Argon, too. She doesn't want to speak to him but it's impossible now that they're in one kingdom. Besides, he has gotten hold of the Heart of Magic. Amira has to find ways to get it off of him. She's concerned he might use it for evil, just like what he did back when her mother was still alive. After knowing about the dreadful past from the mortal world, there's only one thing she wants to do:

Chapter: Chapter 45"Douman, that once was a little brother of mine. Has he accepted you as his own? He didn't introduce me to you, did he?"Amira just stares at Argon; her head is partly tilted. Her mind is full of questions. The words are battling to rush out of her mouth, but they can't simply outrun one another. And so, she's left with her mouth ajar."I know you have a lot to ask. Come with me and I shall tell you everything." Argon stretches his hand to Amira but she just stares at it. Soon after, Argon senses something's gushing toward his hand. He effortlessly swings his palm and the object diverts back to the source like a rushing fireball.Within a second, they heard a rough cry, "Uh!" It's Bruce. The stone he throws bounces on him and hits the side of his stomach. Now blood is spurting extensively from it."Bruce!" Missy, Liza, and Miguel cry. They're in shock at what happened. They reach out to their friend instantly. Even with their trembling hands, they try to calm their friend and put pre

Chapter: Chapter 44"Trifecta!"Under the pale face of the midnight moon, Amira's voice echoes all over."Trifecta! I beg you to help me! Show yourself!"The cold breeze blows her cries away. Yet again she is unable to sense a response from the creature she's summoning. The woods have been silent toward her all day. Desperate to connect with the fairy who sent her to the mortal world, her feet bring her to where she has first seen this foreign land—the seaside in the city of Lavandel. However, this, too, plays deaf at her cries."There must be another way back and I must figure it out!"Amid her desperate attempt to think of ways, she suddenly halts, taken aback by the huge shadowy figure that hovers over her. Her mouth gapes open as she watches the creature fly passed her. The night is maybe dark but her eyes miss not identifying it. It's a dragon quite huge and terrorizing, resembling the one showing up in her dreams. As she takes a minute to process what it means, squeals and screams from here and

Chapter: Chapter 43Roasted and burnt. The smell mixes with the air and flies across the atmosphere. Amira's nose titters as the pungent smell enters through her nostrils. Her senses are awakened and before even realizing it, she finds herself standing in front of a great devastation she wouldn’t want to see. Her heart sinks seeing a town down in ashes. Roasted men scatter everywhere. Smoke evaporates from their blacked bodies. The horrifying tragedy leaves not even a single life around. Amira's heart slashes in two at the sight of a poor woman with a newborn baby on her arm. Behind the lady were three more kids, all burnt out and lifeless. She can only imagine their struggle and how they ended up that way. ‘Who could have done this?’ she asks herself. She’s unable to grasp how one can be so heartless. ‘Was it… Argon? How can he do this! Does he even have a heart?' Though in her veins, run the blood and soul of a dragon, the very same creature that created the horrible sight in front of her, she can't

Chapter: Chapter 42A swirling web of soft tissues goes on and off until it blossoms and pushes out Amira from where she had her entrance into the Land of Infinite Desire. The curse on her mouth is gone, cleansed by the healing power of Elena's aqua. The marks of failure and defeat forms a fine line on her face. She is down in dumps having neither Hasham to run to nor the Heart of Magic to be victorious of. She is down in flames. No matter how much she wants to believe there is still hope, her emotion just won't cooperate. Meandering around, her setting down foot halts as she spots a man almost lifeless on the ground. Having no one but her in the forested heart of Vormundham, she instinctively hastens their four-meter distance. She slouches on the loose soil as she draws near him, leveling her knees with his body so she can attend to him.When she turns his head to face her, her eyes widen and her mouth drops open. She goes pale all of a sudden as if her soul absconds from her earthly body. Split lip, b

Chapter: Chapter 41Slack sitting like a frog by the seashore, Bruce throws on a pebble that slashes over the shallow to deep jewel-blue sea. The pebble plops as it thwarts with the rippling waves, snatching the boy’s thoughts again. “There’s really something that I should be remembering but I can’t remember. It’s stuck in my head and I can’t pull it through. Grr!” grumbles the kid. “I feel you bro! But what could that memory be?” Miguel rests his elbow on Bruce’s shoulder as he puts on a thinking face. Since early morning when they rise from sleep, they’ve been trying to pull out a memory from their head but their mind seems to be playing Whac-a-Mole with them. At one point, they will spot it on but quickly it disappears. “Tss. You just probably forgot to wash your assess after defecating!” Missy bubbles while randomly picking seashells along the coastline. The two boys’ ears wiggle. They are just a few meters apart from Missy and it’s hard not to miss what she just said. When she finally realizes tha

Chapter: Chapter 9Tulalang naglalakad si Camila sa gilid ng kalye habang iniisip ang mga sinabi ng kapatid ni Brent. Alam niya na ngayon ang dahilan kung bakit pumayag si Brent na maikasal. Pareho lang naman silang pinapakinabangan ang isa't-isa. Si Camila, upang maipagamot ang kan'yang ama at mailayo ang sarili sa manloloko niyang ex at si Brent naman ay para matupad ang pangarap na posisyon sa kompanya.Thinking of the possible consequence if she won't appear in the event knowing that Brent's grandfather is anticipating her presence, napahinto siya at napatingin pabalik sa venue. Hindi pa naman siya nakakalayo, kaya pa niyang bumalik pero ang suot niyang damit ang nagbigay sa kanya ng alinlangan.Suddenly, her peripheral vision caught sight of an artist working his hands on a beautiful canvas, an idea crossed her mind. She rushed to ask for some paints and brushes in exchange for a little cash she had on her pocket. The artist was hesitant at first but seeing hope sparkling in C

Chapter: Chapter 8Dalawang linggo na ang lumipas mula nang ikasal sila. Tuloy pa rin ang pagpapanggap ni Camilang maging mabuting maybahay at pakisamahan ang asawang madalas gabi na umuwi at animo'y binata kung kumilos. Naging matigas ang puso nito mula ng huling encounter nila pero may mga pagkakataong pinagkakatuwaan siya nito.Sabado, maagang nagising si Camila para maghanda ng makakain nila pero mag-aalas-otso na nang umaga ay mahimbing pa rin ang tulog ng kan'yang asawa.Sa pagkabagot ay minabuti niya na lang na libutin ang kabuuan ng kanilang bahay. Sa likod nito'y mayroong malawak na espasyong maaring gawing hardin. Ginala niya ang sarili sa kabuuan nito hanggang sa matigilan siya sa harap ng payat na punong sa tantiya niya ay ilang buwang tanim pa lamang. Sumilay ang ngiti sa labi niya dahil sa ideya at imaheng pumasok sa isip. Kung aayusin at dadagdagan niya ng mga tanim ang espasyong ito ay tiyak na gaganda ito. Sumilay ang ngiti sa labi niya sapagkat mayroon na si

Chapter: Chapter 7Dumako ang mugtong mga mata ni Camila sa orasan. Halos sa pag-iyak at pagpapahid lang ng mga luha umikot ang buong araw niya. Isang bagay na iniiwasan niyang mangyari ay ang mag-isa dahil mas lalo siyang nalulunod sa lungkot at sakit.Maghahating-gabi na pero wala pa rin ang kan'yang asawa. Matapos nitong maligo ay umalis ito ng hindi manlang sa kanya nagpaalam.May pag-aalalang biglang bumalot sa kanya. Marahil dahil sa inasal niya kanina ay naisipan na nitong 'wag na lang umuwi sa kanila, baka maisipan nitong makipaghiwalay agad sa kanya.Ilang oras pa ang nakalipas at may bumusina na sa gate nila. Naalimpungatan siya mula sa saglit na pagkakaidlip sa sofa pero agad naman siyang bumangon upang kompirmahin kung si Brent na ba iyon.Nang bumukas ang pinto ng kotse ay una niyang nakita ang isang pamilyar na lalaki. Dinukot niya sa isip ang ala-ala kung saan niya possibleng nakita ito at napagtanto niyang isa ito sa

Chapter: Chapter 6Masarap na amoy ng pagkain ang nalanghap ni Brent pagkababa niya ng hagdan. Malayo pa ma'y natanaw niya ang asawang busy sa kusina. Nakatali ang buhok nito sa burdadong manipis na kulay abong panyo. Tumigil muna siya upang pagmasdan ang babae. Maganda ang suntanned na kutis ng balat, at mukhang malambot ang caramel-colored na buhok nitong may pagkakulot ang bandang dulo. Katamtaman ang pangangatawan nito, hindi maituturing na payat pero hindi rin naman mataba.Natigilan si Brent sa pag-oobserba nang mapansin siya ni Camila."B-brent, I cooked breakfast for you," sabi nito na halatang hindi komportableng makita siya. "S-sit here. I'll serve you food," dagdag pa niya at in-offer ang upuan.Napatunganga siya sa kinikilos ng asawa. Ang Lilybell na nakilala niya noon ay hindi maitago ang galit sa kanya. Paano ba naman'y pinagtri-trip-an niya ito lagi noon. Ngunit dekada na rin naman ang lumipas at marahil ay nakalimutan na ni Lilybell ang pinaggagawa niya.

Chapter: Chapter 5Camila wakes at the comfort of a soft king-sized bed. Nilibot niya ang paningin at napansing nasa isang malaking room siya na napipintahan ng pulos puti. Natanaw naman niya mula sa tinted glass window na naghari na pala ang gabi. Inalala niya ang nangyari at kung paano siya napadpad sa kung nasaan man siya ngunit ang huling alaalang nahugot niya ay nang nanlabo ang kanyang paningin ng akma na siyang hahalikan ng lalaking pinakasalan niya. "Shocks!" Tinakpan niya ang kanyang buong mukha at halos masabunutan na rin ang sarili nang ma-realize ang nangyari. "Regretting what you did to me in the aisle, hmmm?" Isang baritonong boses ang nagpabukas ng mata ni Camila. Nanlaki ang mga mata niya nang makita ang half-naked at kumpol-kumpol na muscles sa gitnang bahagi ng balingkinitang katawan ng isang lalaki. Mukhang kagagaling lang nito sa shower room dahil mamasa-masa pa rin ang expose niyang katawan. Naglakad ito papunta sa nakatangang asawa. Hindi malaman n

Chapter: Chapter 4Dahan-dahang bumakas ang malaking pinto kasabay ng pagtugtog ng malambing na plawta. Maya-maya pa'y lumitaw ang isang babaeng nakasuot ng magara at mahabang damit pangkasal. Hindi pa gaanong maaninag ang kanyang mukha dahil sa liwanag na nanggagaling sa labas."I swear by the moon and the stars in the sky And I swear like the shadow that's by your side."Panimulang awit ng isang napakalambing na tinig.Lahat ng bisita ay nakatanaw lang sa babaeng nakatayo pa rin sa bulwagan, inaasahan ang paglapit upang mas matanaw pa nila nang malinaw ang mukha nitong natakpan ng puting veil.Nanghihina ang mga tuhod ng bride, hindi niya alam kung tama ba ang naging desisyon niya, kung makakatakas pa ba siya sa sakit, kung anong bukas ang naghihintay sa kanya pagkatapos ng araw na ito."I see the questions in your eyesI know what's weighing on your mind."Kumirot a

The Culprit's Verdict
When finding evidence is by the skin of one's teeth, what price are you willing to lay to find the culprit?~~~She was just a typical girl from a not so typical family, who will seek justice after her loved ones' death. She was the only survivor in that death trap or at least that was what she knew. Their death wasn't just a mere tragedy, it was intentional. The purpose was to eradicate her clan, but they failed when she survived.When her only reason for living was taken away from her... What was left in her being were: hatred, anger and the burning fire to have her revenge, but it was hard to find since no obtainable evidence could uncover the culprit behind the terrible scheme.When her boss, turned lover, started to show affection, a beam of light was flashed in her being. The newly found solitude with him gradually replaced her negative feelings. But as another guy entered into the picture and claimed her to be his, it drifted her back to her intentions which led her to unravel some secrets she never thought existed. Join me as I lay pieces of information about the Culprit's real identity.

Chapter: CHAP. 29: REVELATIONI gasped for breath as my consciousness came back, panting and sweating at the minimal air in the atmosphere. I roamed my eyes around the dim, empty, and windowless room I was trapped in. Metal chains clanged on the floor as I moved to reach for the door. That's when I realized my right foot was locked on the chain embedded in the cream-colored wall.The thuds of the footsteps echoing from the outside alarmed me of the approaching being. I anticipated the unlocking of the knob for seconds, but it didn't happen."Who's there? I know there's someone at the door. Tell me who you are; show me your face!" I commanded, but to no avail, the footsteps retracted away and faded fully.Strange.Thoughts of Juliet sent chills to my bones. I didn'

Chapter: CHAP. 28: THE ABDUCTIONI got up early the other day and waited for the CEO to arrive at his office. When Wanda finally left the room, I decided to approach. "Wanda, I just need a word from Mr. Val," I said. "He's not in the mood. He doesn't want anyone in his office at this moment," she said. She was just following her boss's order, but I was eager to confront him at this hour and so I quickly rushed to open the door. Wanda failed to stop me hence she ended up explaining herself to the CEO. "I'm sorry, Mr. Val. I already informed her that you don't want to be disturbed but she–" "It's okay, let her come in." He cut Wanda's explanation while he undisturbedly focused his eyes on the fascinating view from his glass window. She was left with no choice but to give me some way. I eyed her and threw a timid smile as she closed the door. "What brought you to my office, Ms. Nam?" "I want to talk to you about something." "What is it?"

Chapter: CHAP. 27: THE MYSTERIOUS PLACE"Juliet," I mumbled. I tried to catch up with her movement despite the sudden itch I was feeling on my left ankle due to the two inches high heels I was wearing. She went inside the lift and pressed a bottom. She seemed not to be in her right state as she ignored my calls. The elevator closed and I had to wait to check the floor she stopped. "7" I entered the other elevator and hit the 7th floor. I rested my back on the shiny surface behind me and watched as the number rose from three to four. "Why is Juliet here? Why didn't she look back when I called her?" I asked myself. Suddenly, a startling jolt from the carpeted floor disturbed my trance. The lights flickered once, twice, three times. My heart jumped for a minute and my knees dilute in nervousness. "What's happening?" The elevator squirmed a noisy crick as it halted. "What the–!" I tapped the elevator door with all my might and tried to break it open, but failed miserably. "Hello?

Chapter: CHAP. 26: LAUNCHINGRambling my dresser for the dress Juliet had ordered for me online, I stumbled upon the brown envelope I received a couple of months ago from agent Doe. A sharp pain pierced through my chest once again as I opened it."Will I ever find the culprit, Mom, Dad? Will I be able to avenge you from them? Will we ever get the justice we deserve?" I held my tears back as I wrapped the pictures in my arms.A tinkling sound of falling metal distracted me. I looked down to see the key pendant necklace they'd gotten from the crime scene and examined it. "Why didn't I see mom wore this one before?" I thought. This seemed to be a key, but on what? Failing to find the answer to my question, I placed it back inside the envelope.My scanning continued and finally found the dress
