Kabanata 35: Clium the Purifier
Last Updated:
2021-06-09 12:24:36IN A SNAP, the peaceful land of Naian Kingdom turned into a land of despair and horror. Lures are appearing anywhere, spreading horror and fear to the Naians.
The guards' number are not enough to stop the uncountable number of monsters that are descending from the portals in the midair.
The desperation of everyone to run away is evident, making the queen feel helpless and useless as she stare at her people getting devoured by the monsters.
But hope sprouted as she saw yellowish rope-like threads of light coiling around the lures' bodies and binding them into one place. And there, she saw Raven fighting for her people's safety. On the other hand, she saw Cassy wielding a trident and attacking every lure she sees.
The queen knew that Cassy is hiding something from her. From the moment their eyes met, chills ran down on her spine. She knew t

Darkness Within Kabanata 36: Saving Prince
CASSYIT'S been a week after we came to Naian Kingdom to ask for help. And yes, we succeeded. We were able to bring the queen along with us. At hindi lang si Cristof ang natulungan niya. He even helped those who were confined in the infirmary longer than my guardian.And right now, Cristof is still at his room, sleeping. It's the effect of the queen's healing mana. Unlike any other cases where the effect is instant, the queen told us that it will take a week for Cristof to be able to stand on his feet since the poison is too strong. And her healing mana can only revert the rotten tissues and organs gradually.I've also noticed that the queen's treatment to me is colder than it was before. I can even see anger and fear in her eyes, and that left me wondering why. Wala naman akong natatandaang ginawa ko para magkagano'n siya. And when I asked Raven, he said he had no idea.Pero alam ko

CASSYNASA loob na kami ng base maliban kay Raven na umalis kasama ang guardian niya at kay Alleyn na pinuntahan si Cristof. Kasalukuyang pinapalibutan namin si Pierre dahil sinabi niyang may sasabihin siyang importante. He seems to be so worried. Parang ang bigat din ng dinadala niya. Malayong-malayo sa Pierre na nakilala ko roon sa palasyo.Nagulat pa nga ako nang makita ko siyang kasama si Alleyn. Pero mas nagulat ako nang malaman kong may nagtangkang pumapatay sa kaniya. Magpapatay to be exact since he is such a wonderful person. Kahit hindi mo pa man siya kilala, through his smile, eyes, and music, you can really say he's such a good man."Tell us what exactly happened, Prince Pierre," panimula ni Captain. "Tell us everything we need to know para matulungan ka namin."Huminga nang malalim si Pierre bago niya diretsong tiningnan sa mata si Pasia. "I thin

CASSYHUMIGPIT ang hawak ni Pierre sa akin. I can still see that he has not fully recovered from shock. His hands are still shaking. Beads of sweat are still rolling from his forehead down to his cheeks. He even gritted his teeth while looking back at the slightly opened door."We must do something, Cassy, we can't leave the kids like this," halos pabulong nitong saad bago itinukod ang kaniyang mga kamay sa kaniyang tuhod. "We need to save them. We can still save them. There are still few alive. And who knows, baka may mga bata pang nakatago sa ibang kuwarto. And the women, they might have suffered the same fate."Hinawakan ko ang balikat niya at tinapik ito. I can feel his strong desire to save his brother's people. Gusto ko rin naman silang iligtas. But it's too risky. Kapag umakto kami ngayon, we will jeopardize not just ourselves, but also the captives.Baka kami pa ang lumabas n

CASSYWE ARE about to make our move. Nasa labas na kami ng base at hinahanda ang sasakyan naming chiores. Everyone is anxious. Everyone has their thoughts of the possible consequences if the king finds out about our plan too early.Habang pinapainom ko ng tubig ang chiore ko ay lumapit sa akin ang guardian ni Raven. Halos magtagpo ang makakapal nitong kilay at sumingkit ang kaniyang gintong mga mata. Maya-maya pa ay tinitigan ako nito mula ulo hanggang paa habang pinaglalaruan niya ang kulot niyang buhok. Ngumuso pa ito bago umiling-iling.Hindi ko alam, pero bigla na lang akong napangiti dahil nakakagaan ng pakiramdam ang presensya niya kahit pa nakasimangot siya. And whenever you see him, you'll have this feeling na gusto mong kurutin ang pisngi niya."What is it, Clium?"Pinan-ikutan lang niya ako ng mata bago siya lumapit sa chiore at ni

CASSY"ALL HAIL to the new king!"I can't hide my smile as I saw Pierre raised his hands to the people of Phantasm. Him, wearing that crown, is such a view to see. Hindi na ako makapaghintay na baguhin niya ang iilang sistema ng Phantasm. I know he will do so much things that will make this kingdom better.Beside him are the remaining members of the Circle of Mages and the captains of each squad. Mas lumapad ang ngiti ko nang makita ko kung gaano kasaya si Captain habang nakaharap sa amin. She seems to be so proud of herself, unlike before where she feels no confidence at all in facing the mass."People of Phantasm, it's been a week since my brother died," panimula ni Pierre. He told us that he has something important to say, kaya naman ay pinapunta niya kaming lahat dito. "And it's time for me to impose my own rules and laws."Pierre stated all of his plans for the

CASSYWE DID NOT waste any time. We went to our respective bases to get the things we need. We have already confirmed the location of the Colossals' base-no, let me rephrase it, Pierre have already confirmed the location of the Colossals' base right before he formed this squad. Thanks to the mana of one of the chosen knights which enables her to locate anyone by using anything that has been touched by the target. She used the former king's cloak.And to confirm it, Nile teleported to the place she have located. And there, he saw an old manor overflowing with mana. It's located hundred meters away from the hole in the seal of Daemion.Naikuyom ko ang kamay ko. This is it. At last, I'll be able to avenge everyone who died and became sacrifices for his awakening.Pagkarating namin sa base ay agad na nagbigay ng order si Captain sa mga natira. They were st

CASSYTHE FOREST near Daemion overflows with menacing energy. I can feel goosebumps all over my body. The chill that the eerie wind gives me is something I cannot ignore. No one dared to move. Even the slightest movement can be heard.Captain signalled the five teams composed of ten members to scatter. Hindi ko kilala kung sino ang mga kasama ko. There were three girls and six boys. The girls are casters and wielders. While the boys are all middes, holding swords, spears, and bow and arrow as their mediums. We were tasked to take the southern route of the forest.Kami ang reserbang puwersa. If there will be surprise attacks, kami ang agad na susuporta sa mga kasama namin.We hid behind the thick trunks of trees. Hindi ko mapigila ang excitement at gigil na nararamdaman ko. I can't wait to face them. I can't wait to defeat my father with my own power.

CASSYMY KNEES trembled-no, every fiber of my flesh is trembling in pain and surprise. This is not what I expected. This is not the reunion I dreamed of. This is not the way I want her to see me. Napapikit ako at pilit na kinalma ang sistema ko. Pinigilan ko ang sarili kong lamunin ng kahinaan. I need to be tough.I looked at her lifeless eyes. She's not at her usual self. I can feel it. Someone did this to her. And I know who. I'm certain that it's the leader of the Colossals.Naikuyom ko ang kamay ko.This is too much!"Leave us alone. I'll handle her. Find the others and regroup," sambit ko nang hindi sila nililingon. "Move!"Mabilis akong gumalaw nang makita kong naghahanda na si Lovelace para atakihin ang mga kasamahan ko. I blocked her fire with my black lightning. Her power is not as strong way back before.

CASSY'S Point of ViewNAGISING AKO hindi dahil sa liwanag ng araw na tumatama sa mukha ko, kundi dahil sa mga brasong lumilingkis sa baywang ko. I shifted my position to face the owner of those warm arms."Good morning," bati niya sa akin bago hinalikan ang noo ko. "How was your sleep?""It's good as always," sagot ko at hinalikan ang tungki ng ilong niya. "I had a good sleep because I know you're with me. I felt safe that's why."He gave me a smile before cuddling me. We spent minutes cuddling before I decided to jump out of bed.Mula sa veranda ay pinagmasdan ko ang aking mga nasasakupan. The place is as lively as ever. Goblins, ogres, lures, dragons, and other pure-blooded monsters coexist with halbmiuns and humans who chose to live under my jurisdiction. I never thought I could bring back the liveliness of this gloomy place. I never thought I could change Daemion in ju

There is no need for them to take Cassy since their mission has been accomplished, and it was to trigger the darkness that has been repressed inside Cassy's body.Pero kahit umatras na sila, Cristof and Alleyn pursued them.

THIRD PERSON'S Point of ViewHINGAL NA hingal na lumapag si Cassy sa lupa. Her hands were supporting her body from falling. Hindi niya inakala na magsasayang siya ng mana. Hindi niya inasahan na ganoon karaming halimaw ang kailangan nilang tapusin.Nilingon niya ang mga kasama niya. Her guardians are near to their limits, too. So as Raven and his guardian."Akala ko wala na silang katapusan," sambit ni Cristof bago ibinagsak ang katawan niya sa lupa. "Mabuti na lang at naubos din sila.""Oo nga," segunda ni Alleyn na nakaupo habang nakasandal sa puno.Magsasalita na sana si Cassy nang may maramdaman siyang presensyang paparating. She stood up, trying to locate the exact location of the presence she felt.One. Two. She sensed two beings. Mabilis niyang inalerto ang kaniyang mga kasamahan at nagpaalam na titingnan niya kung anong klaseng kalaban ang pa

CASSYNANG MASIGURO na naming tapos na ang purification kay Lovelace ay inutusan ko sina Alleyn at Cristof na dalhin siya sa palasyo at doon na lang hintayin ang paggising niya. At dahil hindi pa kami sigurado kung nasa panig ba namin siya ay napagdesisyunan naming ilagay muna siya sa piitan sa ilalim ng palasyo.Napatingin ako sa buong paligid. Wala na ang apoy pero kitang-kita ko pa rin ang pinsalang naidulot nito. Napakalaki ng nasunog na parte ng kagubatan. At nasisiguro ko, kapag nakita ito ni Floria ay magagalit siya."Cassy," tawag sa akin ni Raven kasabay ng paghawak sa kamay ko. "Tara na?"Tumango lang ako at nagpahila sa kaniya. Habang naglalakad kami ay pansin ko ang pagtingin sa akin ni Clium. At alam ko kung bakit. Alam kong gusto niya akong tanungin sa naging reaksyon ng katawan ko sa yakap niya, pero maging ako ay wala ring alam.
