I WIPED the tears that escaped my eyes while I stared at the fire that was consuming the body of our dead comrades. There were seven of them and three of them were just on their teen stage in life. I regretted that I came  on that scene late to help them. If only I was there when the attack started, perhaps I can build a plan for us to do, a strategy to easily defeat our enemy.

That has already happened and I cannot do anything about it now. This regret of mine can never give them back to us. I just need to accept the fact that they were gone even if it was too hard.

I looked towards Matias who was staring at me for quite some time now. Of all the people in here, he was the one who knew me the most so I know he knows what I am feeling as of this moment.

“We need to find another place to hide,” I whispered to the air which I knew he could hear.

He nodded at me gently without looking. “Indeed. For the safety of our people.”

    AFTER I put what I had stolen in my bag, I looked around. I felt like someone was watching me from somewhere I cannot determine in which part of the market he was in. I did not feel that when I set foot here. Most probably, just another opponent.“Make sure not to make yourself known to me if you still want to keep that useless life of yours,” I said in a low voice.I whistled silently to call for Vivi, whom I knew, was just around the area.“Try to find the one who has been following me,” I said, still with a low tone as he approached me.“Follow me, Miss! Follow me!” he said as he flapped his wings, flying towards some direction.I resumed walking, finding some prospect I can rob.It was about an hour that passed when I looked at the crowded parts of this market. From where I stood, I could see the sea. I can only see a fragment of the sea because of the trees that were blocking me from the sight but it

    I PAUSED for a moment when I beat the two opponents in front of me, turning to Elana who was watching from the side. She looked at me sharply so I smiled at her to annoy her more before I fought with her men again.They took turns rushing at me, some of them were so good that I could not knock them down so I chose the weak ones to lessen them a little. I slumped down just to be hit by the whip of one of them. When he tried to hit me again with it, I grabbed it and pulled hard.With a shocked face, he moved towards me and that made me smile as I kicked him forcefully causing him to be sent flying onto the huge tree nearby. With the force of his impact on it, he immediately lost consciousness.After that, they rushed one after the other, so I prepared the sword, raising it up into the air and turned quickly so that they could be wounded altogether at the same time. I smiled as the three walked away to take care of their wounds. I took a deep breath and charged at

    She threw the weapon she was holding and touched my shoulder. The soldering I felt doubled and it seemed like any moment I would faint. My glare deepened on her when I saw his grin. This fool of a woman! "Even though I do not want to get my hands dirty, it looks like it was really inevitable for you to get lost in the path of Sevasti and me," she said and brought her face close to mine. "This will be the end of you," she added, calmly. I laughed at her even though I was feeling weak. "Once I get out of your grasp, it would be you who would be killed first between the two of us," I grunted as I struggled on her grip. Even speaking seemingly drains my energy. She just smiled as if to say that it would not happen. She removed her hand from my arm and took a dagger hidden inside her garment. I looked at her more deeply. If only my stare was lethal, she would have fallen to the ground earlier. She was about to stab me when an arrow flew towards her

    I JUST watched him as he continued to paddle, boarded on a small boat from a small island near the kingdom of Farianio. He took me for a walk because of the beautiful scenery there, making me so entertained that it was almost dark before both of us decided to go on the boat.And now it was night time because he was slow. But that was somewhat okay with me because we get to spend more time together. It was noon when I left our hideout but they knew I was just going around to different towns and markets to steal so they would not look for me if I were to be late. The reason why I am also not worried while I am with this man. My man.He looked at the ocean that seemed endless so I watched him freely, as time went by, he became more handsome in my eyes. With a slight frown on his forehead, I smiled. Whatever reaction he showed did not lessen his handsomeness. I think it has increased even more as we spend some more time together.His hair was fixed upwards now so ma

    IN THE MIDDLE of the night I woke up to Vivi's shrill and repeated voice, calling my name. I immediately got up and frowned, turning to him."Why, Vivi?" I asked, puzzled."Bad news! Bad news! Adrina!" he replied, causing me to slowly wake up from my dazed self.My eyes widened and immediately ran out of my small room. My companions who had traveled to go to the market to shop for our supplies greeted me with a different scene. Adrina was being led by two of our comrades, who were immediately approached by Matias.With my speed it was just an instant I was next to them, surprised when I got to see Adrina. Weak. Her hair was slightly disheveled and her lips were pale. She was the only one who was in that condition among all of them so I already had an assumption as to what happened to her.If the enemy attacked them they should all be wounded but no."Adrina," I said lowly, turning to the two who were leading her. "Take her straight to her ro

    I FOCUSED on Adrina's wounds and I did not like what I was seeing in her. As time went on, my anger built up. Thinking how I was going to retaliate against that stupid woman.I will not allow it to end this way. I will never allow her to do what she wants with us without us getting back at her. A warrior does not simply bend its knee on someone just like that.She was the first one to charge at me so she just deserved it. She has no right to take her revenge.I left the room even before Dana finished applying the herbs to Adrina's wounds. Adrina did not notice that I had left the room because she had her eyes closed and it seemed like she would lose consciousness in a few moments."Aliara," Matias called as he followed me. "Where are you going?" he asked curiously when he saw that the road to my room was not the one I was taking.I stopped and turned to face him blankly. "Why are you following me? Rest in your room as well.""I saw the look

    My mouth tightened. I got his reason with what he said but I could not help but be annoyed. I must be the one who was angry, not the other way around.And how did he know I was here, by the way? How did he see me? Why was he there near Elana's house?I wanted to laugh at myself at the answer that entered my mind. Maybe he was going to visit that woman because she was there. Obviously that was the answer because what else would he do if it was not about her?"Are you going to their house too? Are you going to visit her?" I ask again in a serious tone.His forehead furrowed as the anger he had shown earlier gradually disappeared."At this time of night, Sevasti?" streaked with anger, I questioned him.I laughed sarcastically. He could not answer and seemed to have no intention of contradicting what I have said.I drew my sword again without taking my eyes off him, showing he could never stop me from what I planned to do.I cannot

    SILENTLY, I walked away when I got off the horse I was riding, as I let Matias put it in the cage and give it a drink of water. We just kept quiet the whole trip coming here on our turf, he did not ask me anything. Perhaps he felt that it was not the right time, the fact that I was not okay right now.I do not know what he was thinking when he saw Sevasti and me together and seemed to be arguing for something he was unaware of. I do not want him to think that Sevasti had anything to do with what happened to Adrina but I also do not want to further talk about it and explain it to him because just thinking of it drains all of my strength.I just hope he does not ask more about that tomorrow. Because I do not know how to answer him in a way that would suffice him and his curious questions.Instead of going straight to my room, I went to where Adrina and Kera reside. I sat on Kera's bed and watched Adrina. She sleeps soundly so I do not move, being extra careful not

    Sevasti's Point of View I WATCH her in the middle of the forest, here in Kozania. She was sitting in front of the clear water of the stream, the thing that is between us. I was so far away from her the reason why I think she did not notice me. Also, she seemed to be out of it and was thinking deeply to even notice my presence. She had been here earlier in the afternon and now it was getting dark but her position did not seem to change even in the slightest. I exhaust my eyes just staring at her beauty, at her hair wavy every time the wind blew. She is dressed better now than before. Truly, she became the queen of Kozania. She had achieved her dream of rebuilding her kingdom, and I am happy for her. Even if it costs the death of my father and us losing the ownership of the throne in Farianio. It was never ours to begin with so it was only just for it to be returned to its rightful owner. This is my only free time to stare at her because as soon as she feels my presence, I will immed

    I LOOKED at Adrina when we reached Farianio's palace. Tonight, to be sure to really surprise them with our attack, and another is for them not to be ready so that we can easily conquer this kingdom.Everyone is in the dark, hiding and waiting for the signal so that they can show up to the opponents. We use the sturdy weapons made by the Verdantes.It also took a long time before Dardo made his decision but in the end he chose to be my ally. I gave him a chest of gold which he really enjoyed. But he did not join our attack, considering the welfare of his kinsmen. I did not force him either. We have enough weapons from him and I think that is enough.He nodded at me so I smiled and turned to Vivi."Vivi," I told her. He flew away from my shoulder and fly freely through the air."Start the attack! Start the attack!" he shouted repeatedly with his shrill voice until it reached all our comrades.I pulled the sword out of its sheath and jumped fro

    "I LOVE you so much, Aliara! And yes, you are wrong if that is what you are thinking about me. You are the only woman I have ever loved in my whole life. The woman I will continue to love and will love until the last of my breaths," he said, seemingly trying to make me understand what is being said by him as the heaviness of his breath intensified. He looked down and when he spoke again, calmly. "I am sorry that I am not with you in all your suffering. I am not there when you need me. I am not there when you are looking for me. But, Aliara, I really want to go and see you at times you want me to be there. I want to save and protect you but my father always stops me. He does everything just so I cannot see you." His mouth clenched his jaws and turned to face me again, his eyes full of anger, longing and sadness. "I really love you, Aliara. That will never change. I hope you will forgive me for all my shortcomings. And please, do not take away your love for me. I cannot afford to lose

    He also smiled and seemed defiant. "How can I not know that there was such a commotion that day. The rebels that were a threat to the peace of Farianio escaped. The fairies only saved you, the reason why you are still alive today. Who would have thought that even the fairies were on your side? Maybe you really ought to live quite a long life.""It will still take a long time because I am barely done with everything I have to do." I moved closer to him, he did not budge and just stayed in his place. "But how do you make sure they are fairies? You just heard that they can control plants, do you not? You know it was not just fairies that had the ability to control plants."His forehead furrowed, wondering, and eventually that was replaced by panic."But--how ..."I proudly smiled and nodded softly at him. Agreeing with what is currently in his mind right now. Yes, Dardo, Hederon. They are not yet dead. They are just hiding from our sight. And now, it is time

    WHEN Adrina and I met again, she gave me another hope to continue what I had started, revenge on Henicio. She talked to me a few times about it but when I asked her why she was encouraging me, she did not answer and in fact, changed the subject.Now, I am standing in the middle of the forest while looking at the moon as I realized why she wanted me to kill Hencio. She wants revenge because of Matias. It is not hidden from my knowledge that she loves the man and even though I did not see her grief at his death, I know how much she felt at that moment.Perhaps, she has not forgotten yet. She has not lost her anger for the creatures that were the root of all of this. Especially with Hencio. He is the one who is responsible for all of this so he is the one to be avenged.I turned to Zalina who was by my side, she was Adrina's mother but she seemed to have aged just a little ahead of me when it came to appearance. Adrina and I were with her when I went to the V

    We now face the creatures who were watching. The reactions they show vary but curiosity prevails. I closely watched them as the soldiers adjusted the rope at my height. That only faded when I heard Vivi’s loud whistling in the air. He circled the creatures in front of us before approaching them. He did not stop flying, but his eyes were focused on me.A soldier pulled me up again to attach the rope to my neck, I just let him do that, still looking at Vivi. Earlier, he had been quiet all the way down as he followed us and I know he was sad now as he witnessed my fate. Her chirps seemed to be crying as I heard it so I also felt sad. I will leave him. It was just now that thought crossed my mind. That I will be leaving him.I smiled at him to convey that it was all right. That he did not have to cry and be sad. I know he can do everything without me. She can find a new friend to love and take care of him like I did. Otherwise, he will join other birds and live

    THE SURROUNDINGS were bright as the sun had already risen when we reached the center of Farianio. The creatures parted to give way to us, curiosity was written in their eyes as they looked. The soldiers were in front and on our side, watching us closely as if we could still escape in this condition. Aside from chaining our hands, we were already tired and weak from the long journey. And most of us were still wounded.I could no longer walk properly because of my trembling leg. The aching wound in my thigh seemed to spread all over my body. My sweat was dripping, my throat was dry and I was definitely pale because of the blood I had lost.These stupid soldiers do not even give us a drop of water."Aliara," Casias called, he was just next to me. Hands were also tied and had nothing to do but obey these soldiers. He called me several times but I never looked back at him.This stupid traitor! He still really wants to talk to me."Do not talk to me," I

    I nodded and stomped on his foot. His jaws clenched and we applied more strength to our swords, still stuck to the air. I quickly backed away and struck the sword I was holding on his stomach but he immediately dodged so it just touched his clothes.He gripped his sword tightly and successively rushed at me but I avoided everything as he continued to retreat. When he stopped, I turned around and rushed first, with each strike of my sword he shielded it with his weapon. However, I hit him several times with my arm and hand. But because he was strong he was not shaken by those measly attacks.Annoyed, I blew a massive puff of air when he kicked me on the side, I backed away and stopped. My eyes were firm as I turned to him. I was ready to rush again but I stopped when an arrow hit my arm causing me to release the sword I had in my grip.My mouth stopped at the pain I felt here. I did not notice it coming! However I no longer paid attention to it when Favier rushed

    "YOU ARE a princess, Aliara?" Rowan spoke again but I ignored him.And since Casias was also not surprised by that, it was only a fact that Favier was stating the truth, that he was affiliated to the palace.I smirked after a while, sarcastically. There are many questions in my mind but I am slowly coming to an understanding on what is happening now. They have known each other for a long time, even before I came here to Ohayas. It was very clear that Casias had betrayed me, he pretended to know nothing about me, that he did not know me. Perhaps that fool Henicio is watching over me. And this is the right time to kill me.Am I quick to trust so I am always betrayed by the people around me?I want to laugh at myself for that question.But even if he deceived me now I do not intend to question him. It also does not matter if I ask him why he did this to me. All of them wants only my life.And I will not just give my life without resisting.
