SOMEONE says you will not know pain until you are staring at yourself in the mirror with tears streaming down your face while you're begging yourself to just hold on and be strong. Pero si Ara, ayaw na ayaw niyang makita ang repleksyon niyang mapanlinlang sa tuwing pinagmamasdan niya ang kanyang mukha sa salamin. Nakikita niya kung gaano siya kagaling magpanggap... na animo'y wala siyang dinaramdam na kahit na anong sakit.

They have just returned from a mission. Ara immediately went to her room and is now facing the mirror while bandaging the wound she sustained. She had a gunshot wound but it was superficial, she was treating herself because she didn't want anyone else to know. She didn't want to feel pity or anything else to make her look weak.

    NAKASUOT na agad si Ara ng kanyang vest, batid niya na may bagong misyon ngunit hindi man lang siya sinabihan ng mga ito. Pagkababa niya ay nakita siya agad ni Salem. "What are you wearing?" anito."I'm going--""No, you won't" pagputol ng Unang Archon sa sasabihin niya. "You will not come with us, you will stay here and rest.""Who's asking ?, I'll come whether you don't want to or not," Ara said then turned her back on the two and left"Your Sandra doesn't seem to be afraid of you... pretty cool huh!!"

    ARA was anxious when she arrived at the mansion but when she entered, the emotion on her face changed, with hard and cold eyes.First to talk to her was Salem sitting on the sofa while watching T.V. "It's good that you're home, we've been worried about you, you just left suddenly.""Nagpahangin lang ako sa labas. Akyat na ako sa taas, I want to rest" Ara replied then went straight to the stairs. "What happened to her?" Than asked coming from the kitchen carrying a bowl of pop-corn.Salem shrugged because she didn't know either "I don't know, baka pagod lang. Hayaan na lang muna natin." "Here's your pop-corn, I'll just go back to the kitchen to cook Ara some food. For sure hindi pa kumakain yon" ani Than.Salem took Than's pop-corn "Great idea, ako na magdadala sa kwarto niya kapag naluto mo na.""Okay... Okay."Ara was under the shower, stunned by the red water flowing onto the floor. Deeply thinking as  she s

    "FINALLY, your awake after the treatments. After you woke up then you went into a coma because of the trauma you suffered... I'm glad you're awake" Zandro said with a big smile on his lips. Agatha still didn't say a word and just stared at Zandro. She is still confused about everything and she is not yet fully healed. Agatha is fine physically but not mentally, she still needs to undergo therapy."Get well soon, Thati... When you're well, we'll talk about everything we missed" Zandro added and let Thati rest. 'Thati' is Agatha's nickname, he was the only one calling her Thati then so he's hoping that her memories will come back.Salem and Than are just in the back as well as Ara and just listening and watching the two. "Told yah!, My bet is for Thati anyway" Salem said. "She has no memory, Salem. I still bet on her because she's being able to take action to have a happy ending." Than replied as if he was arguing with Salem. "Anong mero

    SINCE their last meeting, Dylan stopped seeing her again. They both decided to distance themselves from each other to avoid danger because the more they meet the more she will be put in danger. It was for her good, as well as for her friends. She doesn't want to repeat what happened to her best friend Zhilan. She can't afford to lose a friend again. "Tulala ka na naman?" biglang tanong sa kaniya ni Than. "H-ha?—" Than sighed and then laid the cooked soup in front of her. "I know the whole week has been too heavy for you. The missions followed one after the other. You had no proper rest, I think you deserve a break... Do you wanna come with me?. A simple dinner and movie... Do you know what I mean?— Like a date but not a date.""Paano ang unang Archon?. What if he needs us?" ani Ara. "Lord Miller said, no mission for today... So? Are you coming? Salem and Zyl are coming too.""Okay, How about the First Archon, is he with anyon

    "DROP your gun!!" Ara said again."Please don't kill me like the other personnel sent by the Tyrant!—" the man said, the fear is obvious in his eyes. "Why are you scared?!, You are the ones who dig your own pit!!. You know I don't want anyone to interfere with me, so you choose, die or die?" she uttered.

"Shut up or else you will die too!!!" said the male triad.While zandro has been looking around, looking for Ara " Why did she take so long.""Kumain ka na lang diyan, hayaan mo na ang Sandra mo—" ani Zyl.

    "Me, I don't even have a family. They are both dead." Ara said bitterly. Zandro felt the sadness and grief in Ara's voice so he couldn't help but ask "What is the reason for your sad voice and eyes?." "Are you taking this opportunity to find out the background of my life?" Ara said then parted from the embrace of the first Archon. "Is it too obvious?" Zandro replied. "They were killed in front of me," Ara said suddenly which caused Zandro to be silent. "Nakita ko ang pagdalak ng dugo mula sa katawan ng mga magulang ko.  And worst of all, I saw how my parents were slowly dying in my arms... I saw how my parents suffered before they died. And too sick to be left behind and a lone survivor of that tragedy. So tell me, do I have the right to be happy despite what has happened?." "Do you think that your parents will find peace in the afterlife if they see you in that condition?" Balik na tanong ni Zandro kay, Ara."This is the on

    "I NEED five minutes to take down the missile" Zyl uttered. Zandro nodded and then released his katana hanging from his back.  "I'm running out of bullets, All of you, run as far as you can. Save yourselves—" "We can't do that—" Anax responded on the other line. Anax is the chief leader of the Akritai. "This is an ambush, so run away and save yourself. I command this as the first Archon" Zandro added. "Y-yes, First Archon" The whole team answered and they're nothing they can do because that was the order of the first Archon.  The Triad surrounds the first Archon as well as Ara. They are so numerous, Ara and Zandro are trapped in the middle. "Just stay behind me" the first Archon's command. "I'm done taking down the bomb, you can leave where you are, Ara" Zyl said. "You ran away too Zyl, we'll follow" aniya. Ara and Zandro looked at each other then nodded.  "Ready your weapon." The two turn thei

    THE LEAVES are wet because of the dew and the sky is so dark, with no stars and even moon. Thunder ignited a strong and bright lightning sign that heavy rain is looming. "Take me down, you need to rest," Ara said while Zandro was still carrying her in the back. "It's about to rain, we need to get out of this forest—" Zandro replied. “We were walking in the middle of this forest for almost three hours, I think we were lost—" she added. "So you should put me down and let's find shelter before the heavy rainfalls." "I can only see tall trees, no caves, and anything we can take shelter of. If we stop walking, we will die in the cold." Ara came down slowly because her wound was still hurting. "It is better to die of cold than to die of exhaustion— If you want us to keep walking, I will just walk with my feet," Ara said then began to walk in the vast forest with the man she did not know if he is an opponent or will be an ally.

She almost dies but death seems too afraid of her so she survived to this day despite what happened. "You're stunned again, Maybe you're thinking about what happened again?." said the old Archon and walked over to her "If you're thinking about running away again, please, don't do that." Agatha looked at her godfather and took a deep breath “I promised to the first archon that I would never run away again but I felt so heavy... I don’t deserve him— I don’t deserve his forgiveness, his kindness, and his love. I made a mistake, I betrayed him and I attempted to kill him several times... I am so ashamed, I don't want the time to come when she will regret that I became her mother... Because her mother was a criminal and murderer. The sins I have committed will surely affect her as well" she uttered sadly

"It all started with you!, the bitterness- the pain and hatred I suffer every moment of my life!- You are the cause of all of my tears. The day you killed my parents, you killed me too. So I will not let you live after all you have done to me" Agatha said bitterly then wiped away her tears.She put on her mask again and headed for the gate of the mansion.
