Screams and shrieks are heard everywhere. Explosions and dark smokes can be seen at every corner of the palace.This is what I welcomed me when I opened the room of my door.Chaos.I suddenly saw Granny running towards my direction. She looks so problematic and worried at the same time."Fhyra! Hija! What are you doing here?! Where's Cool?!" She said while looking around vigilantly."What's happening?" I asked worriedly as I look at the once bright walls of Glaciers but was now filled with dark smoke."The Darkess attacked us. The guardias are delaying them while we evacuate the citizens." She answered and worriedly walked passed me to approach the lady she saw."Bugnaw! Hurry!" She said as she helped the lady.'Fhyra! Where the hell are you?!' I was suddenly alerted when I heard Cool's voice.'I'm outside my room. I'm with Granny. How 'bout you? Are you okay? How about Sassy? Ignis? And Hailec? Are you with them?' I asked him hurriedly while helping Granny guide the other fantasians t
"Princess," Blaze greeted as soon as he saw me approaching them in the large main function hall of the Glaciers, which now serves as the evacuation area of the citizens.I gave him a quick glance and a slight nod before I faced Cool who was with him.I wanted to just ignore him but it would be too rude since he did help us in rescuing the people of Glaciers from the attack of the Darkess."What's the status out there?" I asked Cool.We might have been able to successfully evacuate the citizens inside the palace, but the fantasians living outside was still under attack by the Darkess."I think we would have to go out there to help rescue the others. The guardias wouldn't be able to withstand them for so long." Cool said which I nodded."I'm coming with you." I proclaimed."Princess, it's too dangerous---" I gave Blaze a sharp gaze that caused him to stop talking.I returned my eyes back to Cool who was staring at me intently."The Count is right. It would be too dangerous for you." he a
"Please take care." Granny said for the nth time as she was sending us off."We will, Granny.""Please, return safe and sound." She said worriedly to everyone.Everyone nodded and gave their farewell bows and hugs to Granny and their families.We would be going out of the palace today. We made sure first that the defense of this place was strong enough to keep everyone safe before we decided to go.Granny faced Cool after exchanging goodbyes with the others."I know you would do this even without me asking but please. Please take care of my granddaughter and come back safely." She said as she sweeps off some hair strands away from Cool's face.I smiled with how intimate Granny and Cool is. I heard Granny was the one who raised him, that explains their familiarity and intimacy."Go on. We won't be delaying you anymore. Please keep safe and get back with our people safe and sound." Granny said as she waved her last goodbye.We turned our backs from the people and face the gigantic ice ga
"Fhyra!" I heard Cool and the others shouted in panic.I thought it was just because I was using too much power but no.It wasn't.I realized that when I felt a black smoke engulfed me whole."No... No... No! Fhyra!"'Fhyra, fight back. Please.' My eyes flew open when I heard Cool's voice inside my mind.I tried to fight back but I can't move my whole body.I feel so drained.'I c-can't.' I answered.And I felt a gushing wind under my feet before darkness finally consumed my consciousness.I woke up in a very dark place. My hands and feet were all tied tightly.I felt so weak.I think this has something to do with me using too much of my ability earlier. Altough my persona was strong, it still have it's own limitations. And that was my first time emitting fire from my mouth and my body was on full blaze.Of course, it would drained me.I tried moving my hands behind but I immediately felt a stinging pain against my wrist."Shit! Please. Please, don't let it be a laso." I muttered under
"Take off the laso." Lord Dorchadas ordered to no one in particular while his eyes remained on me.Suddenly, two dark moving shadows came towards me from the darkness to remove the laso around my wrists and my feet. After finally being free, I stood up and gently massaged my wrist.I'll take care of this later.It looks like the darkess had no idea that I had a persona of a glacia too. Well, not like anyone knew about it, except Cool of course."I'm interested as to how you want to play this so-called game of yours, Princess," I smirked at his remark as I cockily tilted my head to the side to show him one of my confident smiles."You wanted to see my abilities? Right? Then, I'll show you.""How?" He asked, his green eyes slowly turning to slits once again because of curiosity."Take me back to my group," I said nonchalantly and I saw how surprise and wickedness danced along on his face."And why would I do that?" He asked, challenging me.I rested my back on the wall and crossed my arm
I was panting hard after I finished off another set of pillies sent by Lord Dorchadas.'How 'bout now? Do you think you're near enough?' I asked Cool.'I don't think so. We're in the middle of something that looks like a forest.' He answered which caused my shoulder to sagged in disappointment. I exasperatedly sighed and continued walking, mentally cursing the Darkess for this tiring situation we're in.Seriously? Just how far are we from each other?'Don't you think they had fooled you? Maybe they didn't bring you back here.''If that was the case we can't communicate like this.' I answered.I groaned loudly when I saw another set of pillies approaching but as they came closer I realized they were not common pillies like what I have been battling for hours now. These creatures were atleast three times bigger than the normal ones and they have sharper and longer teeth and claws."Son of a bitch. You've got to be kidding me." I muttered in a low breath as I stared at the five huge creat
We've been battling non-stop for straight three days and Lord Dorchadas haven't ceased in any of his attacks.We were all tired, deprived of sleep, and absolutely famished.But what we were so worried about was Hailec. He was the one who was replenishing our energies and personas again and again. And now, it's taking a toll on him."Just rest for a while, will you?!" Sassy scolded him when he insisted to help us again after fighting with another packs of wolves and Pillies."Sassy's right, Hailec. Rest for a while, we can still manage." Cool said as he started to heal the injured guardias.I wanted to help so bad since I had already mastered this healing technique, however, if I do that, Lord Dorchadas would realized that I had the ability of a glacia as well.And I can't afford that for now. That was my trumpcard so far. So all I can do is sit beside Hailec and try to let him absorb some of my energy.He was panting so hard, and bullets of sweats crowded his face. He was already tired
I didn't how long it had been, but numerous bodies of fantasians from all tribes were scattered on the floor. Some were filled with blood but some were not. I even lost count as to how many darkess I had killed.This was indeed a bloody war.I stopped to stare at the battleground after finishing off another dark shadow from the darkess.My eyes immediately met Lord Dorchadas' green eyes."You really wanted to see this bloody war? Dear, you should've just surrendered, then all of this wouldn't be happening." He said with a calm smile on his face."If you didn't want to destroy Narte Fantasia, this won't be happening either," I answered boldly."You're a feisty one, huh. Just like your mother." My eyes widened when I heard him mentioned my mom."Oh? Nobody told you why I wanted to destroy your tribes?" He said as he crawled around me.I was following his every move while taking into consideration that Princess Umbra was just inches away from us."I wanted your mother. I always did. But s
