Kent tilted her head slowly, looking at her friend’s raging face. Kent couldn’t utter a word, she knows she should be the one to save Christian, but she didn’t. She’s still powerless. Protecting herself from her classmate’s rage could only spark another conflict. She decided to just agree and listen. That’s the only thing that she could do.
“How could you? He’s our friend! Our classmate! You let those creatures eat him!” Darline’s tears continue to fall to her cheeks to the dry ground, making it the only liquid that nourishes the now dry soil.

The seven-foot-tall killer had never shown any weak spot for them to attack. There are seven of them inside, it's logical to win against one. A strong impact to its turtle mask could've prevented them to be in such position. "kill" spoken by the killer with a hoarse sound showing its utmost desire.

Alex was thinking. And he's sure that she's the sister of Rabi who claimed herself as the guardian of the marshland. She must have been really the reason why we were ambushed back when Christian was captured and the reason why the marks were stopped in the middle of the mission – the routes we were taking."Hey, does that mean she's Rabi's sister?" Darline asked.Everyone nodded. "Yes, maybe that's that.""How did Noel get captured? He can be invisible during the night?" Gloyd argued."Then Ranthi can see through him, she's a guardian after all. They possess immense power like Rabi." Alex said. "I think he's still safe. Rabi don't seem to be hostile towards us. If we're lucky, maybe her sister, is, too."

"Alex was right. When the queen bee capitalized the land with her barbaric acts, the other stapus were forced to leave and evacuate the lands that were originally theirs, making the queen bee's hive the only kingdom in the South. Although their methods of nurturing the lands were surprisingly good, their selfishness was a different matter." Rabi continued. Alex looked at Kent and she seemed doing well.
