I can't think of anything else.
I just stood there feeling every breath that I take. Dahil hindi ko alam kung matatapos ba ang araw na ito na humihinga pa ba ako o hindi na. I can feel my hands are cold. And it is not because of the endless winter into this world. But because I know that any minute from now, this whole place will become a bloody battlefield.
Yes. This is the day. This is the day that marked the end of everything. And I hope dito narin matatapos ang lahat ng kasinungalingan sa buhay ko.
Madilim ang kalangitan. At naririnig ko rin mula sa kinatatayuan ko ang huni ng kulog at kidlat sa buong paligid. It's as if the sky knew what's going to happen in the next hours to come.
All I could hear is the howling sound of the wind.
No one dared to speak a word while we were silently standing up side by side with my comrades. We form into lines at tahimik lang kaming nakatayo sa dulo ng mga pulang rosas na tinatapakan namin. Napatingin ako sa ibaba para tignan ang mga pulang rosas na nasa paa ko. But it's not red roses anymore. It fully transformed into blue roses and that confused me even more.
Nagtaas ako uli ng mukha at napatingin sa likuran naming lahat kung saan nakatayo ang malaking puno na iyon ng pulang rosas.
And what I saw stunned me.
The big tree of red roses was surrounded by the completely transformed blue roses. But the dark red roses that's been blooming on the top of that big tree remained in its proud color. Sa sobrang pag-iisip ko sa nalalapit na pag-atake ng mga Aarvaks sa Cytherea ay ngayon ko lang napansin ang bagay na ito.
Nagawi ang paningin ko sa malaking sanga ng puno na iyon at nabigla ako nang makita ko ang silver haired na babaing iyon na mag-isang nakaupo doon. Oo, si Camellia. Wait, what is she doing there? At nakita kong kasama nya rin pareho sina Hildegarde at Cedric na parehong nakatayo sa tabi ng puno na iyon.
Mukhang napansin ni Camellia na may nakatingin sa kanya kaya biglang nagawi sa akin ang pulang mga mata nya at ngumiti ng matamis.
I just smiled back at her.
Somehow I feel a slight relief by the thought na nasa tabi ko na ngayon ang first lady ng Cytherea.
"Hey..." I heard Lucian gentle voice from my side.
Agad naman akong napalingon sa kanya.
He is so stunningly beautiful on his black armor. Hindi na nya isinuot ang black metal mask nya and that made me appreciate his beauty even more. How can someone like him exist so perfectly?
Naramdaman ko ang mahinang pagpisil nya ng kamay ko and then he showed me that beautiful smile.
"Everything's going to be alright..." he whispered. "I promise"
Pilit nalang akong ngumiti pabalik sa kanya bilang tugon sa sinabi nya. But on the back of my mind, I was screaming that nothing's going to be alright.
Ilang minuto nalang at aatake na ang mga Aarvaks. And the worst part of all of this, ay kasama si Light sa aatake sa amin.
Having Lucian beside me is the only thing which keeping me sane. He is my strength. At nagpapasalamat ako that through it all ay never nyang binitiwan ang kamay ko even though sometimes I felt like I don't deserve his love. But I hope darating din ang araw na masusuklian ko rin ang pagmamahal nya. I hope.
Napatingin nalang ako uli sa walang kalaman-laman na malawak na lupain na iyon.
It rained last night kaya nakikita ko ang mga naipong tubig sa basang lupain.
The surrounding is so gloomy and cold. At nakadagdag yun sa pinaghalong kaba at sakit na nasa dibdib ko lalo na't nalalapit na ang oras ng pag-atake nila.
Nasa tabi ko ngayon si Lucian at ang ibang Arcadian Knights. Nasa kanan ko sina Lucian, Zeke, Maalouf, Harun, King Nolan habang nasa kaliwa ko naman sina Cornelius, Jared, and Rika. Nasa likuran ko naman sina Bogs, ang Thrym brothers and the rest of Arcadian Knights, kasama narin ang ibang sundalo na dinala nina Harun at King Nolan.
Beside us is the Exodus Knights who stood so stunningly on their white armors at kasama nila ngayon doon sina Bea at Carlie. There is also an army of archer vampires na nasa likuran naming lahat and they were all led by Andromeda.
Yes.
This is the battle plan of King Nolan and I'm silently praying that it will work.
I saw the small smoke that come out from my mouth when I breath out just to relieve whatever I'm feeling right now then I turned into Lucian's direction.
Pero nabigla ako nang makitang nakatayo na sa tabi ni King Nolan ang dalawang bampirang iyon na ngayon ko lang nakitang magsuot ng black armor.
Sina Edward at Adelaine.
Teka...sasali sila sa gyera?
Mukhang napansin naman ni Edward na nakatingin ako sa kanya at nabigla ako nang bigla syang lumingon sa akin. And when our eyes met ay mukhang napansin nya ang pagtataka sa mukha ko kaya ngumiti sya sa akin at nagsalita.
"Magbebenta lang ako ng lollipop" he grin. "Sa tingin mo bibili kaya sila? Hehe"
Napakurap ako.
Magbebenta ng lollipop? Bebentahan nya ang mga Aarvaks? Oh geez. How can he be so weird?
But all of my thoughts was cut off when those unfamiliar vampire scents suddenly filled the air.
Mabilis akong napalingon sa harapan kung saan nanggagaling ang mga paparating na vampire scents na iyon. My comrades started to snarl and growl in defense of what's coming to us.
The scents were all fast approaching on our direction.
At hindi ako pwedeng magkamali.
Yes. They are finally here.
The Aarvaks.
Naramdaman ko nalang ang unti-unting pagtatangis ng mga ngipin ko nang makitang nangunguna sa kanila ang lalaking yun na inakala ko ay mapagkakatiwalaan ko. Ang lalaking dahilan ng lahat ng ito.
Si Raven.
His blue eyes scanned all of us na para bang may hinahanap sya. Then his eyes met mine. And when he saw me, I saw that unfamiliar smirk that slowly formed into his lips that cause me to feel this unnerving hate into my system. Bastard.
"They are fast approaching!" I heard Lucian roared. "Ready your defense!!!"
And after that, I heard loud growls and snarls from my comrades which signals that they are ready.
Narinig ko rin ang malakas na boses ni Andromeda mula sa likuran namin.
"ARCHERS!!!" she roared.
In a blink of an eye, there was a shower of arrows from the Archers from our back towards the Aarvaks who are now approaching us in a fast pace.
It was like thousands of knives poured from the sky and I saw some of the Aarvaks was pinned into the ground. But of course, those arrows won't kill them. It will only slow them down.
And that gave us a chance to attack them too.
Nakita ko nalang ang pagtaas ni Lucian ng espada nya and in that hoarse voice, he roared.
"ARCADIAN KNIGHTS!" he roared.
"EXODUS!" I heard Lady Lydia on our side roared too.
And all hell broke loose.
Everything went so fast.
In a blink of an eye, my comrades attacked the Aarvaks that is now fast approaching us.
I saw a lot of blood shed into the ground.
They used their swords in killing each other but some even didn't used them. They just simply ripped each other's opponents head and some even used their fangs in killing their opponent.
It's hell.
I can see hell right into my eyes. It feels like everything isn't real and I'm only suffering on an endless nightmare.
Napalunok ako at bubunutin ko na sana ang espada ko but someone stopped me.
Napalingon naman ako sa kung sino man yun at ang nakita ko ay ang nakakunot na mukhang iyon ni Lucian.
"No, love" he whispered saka nya ibinalik ang espada ko sa paglalagyan nito. "You will stay here"
Agad na nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang dahil sa sinabi nya.
What?
"P-pero---"
I was stopped from talking.
At pakiramdam ko ay bigla akong nanlamig when that familiar vampire scent suddenly showed up on that bloody battlefield. Pakiramdam ko ay biglang bumilis ang takbo ng puso ko at naramdaman ko nalang ang panlalamig ng buong katawan ko nang makilala ko kung kanino ang vampire scent na ito.
Hindi ako pwedeng magkamali...
Dahan-dahan akong nagtaas ng mukha.
Kahit ilang taon ko na syang hindi nakita...
And slowly...
...ay alam ko kung kanino ang vampire scent na ito.
My eyes widened when I saw that familiar handsome face standing in the middle of that bloody war.
Some Arcadian Knights tried to attack him but he will just release his blue fire, making his opponent turned into ashes in just a matter of seconds.
Then he slowly looked up and I felt like my whole world stopped from turning when those blue eyes met mine.
Naramdaman ko nalang ang pagsisimulang pag-iinit ng sulok ng mga mata ko at ang pagsakit ng lalamunan ko nang titigan nya ako.
God, I miss him.
But those blue eyes were so cold and so empty that I could no longer recognize him. The red rose that was engraved on his black armor made it even worse.
Yes, he is Light.
He is my beloved Light.
Pero pakiramdam ko ay ang daming nagbago sa kanya mula nung huli kaming magkita.
And right now, I have this urge to rushed into him and touch his face. I just want to tell him that everything's going to be okay. That I'll find a way to save him. I'll find a way to take that evil vampire out of his body.
But all of my thoughts was cut off when I heard the sound of Lucian's sword that he slowly removed from its sheath.
Mabilis akong napalingon sa kanya.
"W-what---"
He turned to me and spoke.
"Stay here. I'll finish this" he said.
Finish?
But just like a bomb, realization struck me.
Agad na nanlaki ang mga mata ko at mabilis akong napalingon sa kanya.
"N-no!" I screamed and I was about to touch him but those three vampires suddenly stood up on my side.
Nagtaas ako ng mukha at nakita ko ang mukha nina Cornelius, Jared, at Zeke.
My brows met.
"W-what are you doing?" I asked saka ako nagtatakang napalingon sa direksyon ni Lucian.
But he just gave me that sad expression on his face.
"I'm sorry babe..." he whispered. "You will be safer here"
At matapos nyang sabihin yun ay doon ko naintindihan ang lahat.
Agad na nanlaki ang mga mata ko at lalapitan ko na sana sya pero agad akong ginapos ng tatlong bampirang katabi ko.
"Lucian!" I screamed habang pilit akong kumakawala sa gapos ng tatlo. "P-please no! L-lucian please!"
But he just turned around and started to walk on Light's direction.
"This is what he wanted..." he whispered while walking. "...I'm only giving this to him"
Yes.
He is planning to kill Light right before into my eyes!
Pinipigilan ko sya dahil hindi ko kakayanin kapag may nasaktan ni isa man sa kanila. I know what Light is capable to do. But I know Lucian wouldn't let him go either.
"LUCIAN!" and before I knew it, I was already crying while looking at him. "Please!"
I begged and cried at the same time. But he seems like he can't hear me anymore.
Nagpatuloy lang sya sa paglapit patungo sa direksyon ni Light, killing all the Aarvaks who comes into his way.
And I felt like the world stood still when I saw the two most important men into my life stood face to face in the middle of that bloody field.
Hindi na sila nag-usap.
Because it is clear na hindi si Light ang gumagamit ng katawan nya ngayon. It's Alexander.
Pero kahit na hindi sya si Light ay hindi ko parin kakayanin ang ideya na magkakasakitan silang dalawa ngayon ni Lucian.
I've known torture. But seeing the two men who I loved the most try to kill each other right before into my eyes is beyond that.
Agad akong nagtaas ng mukha at umiiyak na napatingin pareho kay Cornelius at Jared na nakagapos sa magkabilang braso ko. Habang nasa likuran ko naman si Zeke.
"Please..." I whispered. "Please let me go..."
But Cornelius just looked at me.
"I'm sorry my lady..." he said. "But this is the only way we could protect you"
At kitang-kita ko rin sa mga mata nya ang paghihirap dahil kailangan nilang gawin sa akin 'to.
"P-please---"
But I was cut off when that familiar scent of a blood filled the air.
Mabilis akong napaligon sa direksyon nina Light at Lucian at nakita kong nagsisimula na silang maglaban gamit ang espada and I saw Light was sliced into his right arm by Lucian.
Lucian is a fire Argon.
But Light is a blue fire Argon who can easily turned him into ashes.
They continued to aimed for each other using their swords at sa bawat minuto na lumilipas ay pakiramdam ko ay mas nanghihina ko sa nakikita ko ngayon.
At nangyari na nga ang pinaka-kinatatakutan kong mangyari.
Pakiramdam ko ay tuluyan na akong nawalan ng lakas nang makita kong natumba sa lupa si Lucian and his sword was thrown away from him.
Everything stood still.
Nakita ko nalang ang paglabas ng asul na apoy sa kamay ni Light and my breathing stopped when I saw him aiming that blue fire into Lucian.
At hindi ko na alam kung paano pa ba ako nakatakas sa pagkakagapos sa akin ng tatlong bampirang kasama ko matapos kong makita yun. Ang tanging nasa utak ko lang ngayon ay kailangan kong iligtas si Lucian.
In a blink of an eye, I saw myself running my way into them and pushing everyone who comes into my way. At mukhang napansin ni Lucian ang papalapit na presensya ko kaya mabilis syang napalingon sa direksyon ko. Nakita ko nalang ang unti-unting panlalaki ng mga mata nya ng makita nya ako.
I saw the big horror that crossed into his face when I pushed him into the ground and hugged him so tight para sa akin tumama ang blue fire na balak itapon sa kanya ni Light.
And the last thing I heard is his voice that was filled with agony and fear when he screamed my name.
"ANNAH!!!"
******************
Bea stabbed an Aarvak into his chest and in a matter of seconds, the Aarvak started to turned into ashes. She could almost taste the blood that was tainted on her face coming from all the Aarvaks that she killed.
She was about to pull her sword from the enemy's chest when suddenly she felt pain into her side.
Nahawakan nya ang tagiliran at napatingin sa kamay nya.
Blood.
Yes. She was stabbed.
And before she could get the chance to turned into her opponent ay naramdaman nyang may sumakal sa kanya sa leeg nya gamit ang mga brasong iyon mula sa likuran nya.
She could tell by the arms that's now grasping her neck that it's a woman Aarvak.
"What a nice day to kill a human" she heard that hoarse woman voice from her back.
Naninikip na ang paghinga nya lalo na't mas lalong lumalakas ang pagkakasakal nito sa kanya.
Then all of a sudden, three arrows came flying into their direction and stabbed the woman's arm dahilan para mabitawan sya nito at mapasigaw sa sakit.
Napatingin sya sa pinagmulan ng arrows and what she saw is Andromeda who's wearing black armor and holding a bow into her hands.
"Watch out" Andromeda said at nagpakawala uli ito ng arrow.
The arrow swiftly flew into her direction at paglingon nya ay nakita nyang tinamaan sa dibdib ang babaing Aarvak na nakatayo parin pala sa likuran nya.
And then the Aarvak woman started to turned into ashes.
Napalingon nalang sya uli sa direksyon ni Andromeda at hindi nya napigilang mapangiti.
"Thanks!" she yelled.
Ngumiti din sa kanya si Andromeda. Pero nagtaka sya nang makitang bigla nalang ay nawala ang ngiti sa labi nito habang nakatingin sa likuran nya.
"BEA!" she suddenly screamed in horror.
Nakita nyang mabilis na humila ng arrow sa likuran nya si Andromeda but her expression changed nang mapansing wala ng natirang arrow sa likod nya.
Nagtataka naman syang napalingon sa likuran nya kung saan nakatingin si Andromeda pero...
Unti-unting nanlaki ang mga mata nya nang makitang may isang Aarvak na nakataas ngayon ang espada sa harapan nya mismo and about to stab her.
Sa sobrang bilis ng mga pangyayari ay napapikit nalang sya.
Pero...
Bigla syang napabukas ng mga mata nang maramdamang may biglang tumayo sa harapan nya.
At nabigla sya nang makitang nakatayo ngayon sa harapan nya si Andromeda habang nakasaksak ang matulis na dulo ng bow nito sa dibdib ng bampirang kaharap nilang pareho.
Nakita nalang nilang pareho ang pagkakatumba ng Aarvak sa lupa and then he started to turned into ashes.
Hindi nya napigilang mapalukso nang dahil sa sobrang tuwa.
"Yes!" she happily yelled.
But then...
Unti-unting nawala ang ngiti sa labi nya at pakiramdam nya ay biglang tumigil ang lahat nang makita ang unti-unting pagkakatumba ni Andromeda sa lupa.
"ANDROMEDA!"
Niyakap nya ito at ipinaharap sa kanya.
Naramdaman nalang nya ang panlalaki ng mga mata nya nang makitang nasaksak din pala ito sa dibdib ng bampirang napatay nito kanina.
Andromeda just pulled the sword away from her chest and threw it away. At sumunod doon ang pag-ubo nya ng maraming dugo.
Agad namang nanghintatakutang napatingin sa paligid si Bea.
"W-wait!" Bea panicked. "D-don't worry! Hihingi ako ng tulong---"
Pero doon na nila parehong nasaksihan ang paglabas ng mga crystal na bagay na iyon mula sa katawan ni Andromeda. The little crystal thing continued to move away from Andromeda's body and the wind is taking them away.
At matapos makita yun ay doon na naramdaman ni Bea ang isa-isang pagpatak ng mga luha sa pisngi nya.
"N-no..." all she could manage to whisper saka napatingin sa walang emosyon na mukha ni Andromeda. "N-no...b-baka hindi pa huli ang l-lahat! H-hihingi ako ng---"
Pero doon na hinawakan ni Andromeda ang kamay nya dahilan para mapatingin sya sa duguang mukha nito.
Then she smirk.
"Stupid" she whispered. "I' am going to die anyway..."
After Andromeda said that ay hindi na nya napigilan pa at napahagulgol na sya ng iyak habang hawak parin nila ang kamay ng isa't-isa.
"I-I have t-this feeling..." Andromeda gasped. "...t-that I have liked you in the past..."
Mas lalong lumakas ang buhos ng mga luha sa mga mata nya nang dahil sa sinabi nito.
Oo. Kahit na parang laging mainit ang dugo sa kanya ni Andromeda noon ay ramdam nyang gusto rin sya nitong maging kaibigan. Hindi nga lang nito alam kung paano nito iso-show yun kaya kahit na ilang ulit sya nitong pinagbantaan na papatayin sya ay natutuwa parin sya dito.
"I-I t-think i-it's okay to die in this way..." she whispered then smiled. "...to d-die in the arms of your friend..."
Nagtaas naman sya ng mukha at lumuluhang ngumiti dito.
"O-of c-course..." ang umiiyak nyang sambit dito saka napatango-tango. "...I-I'm your friend"
Andromeda smiled at her at minsan nya lang makita iyon sa mukha ng laging malamig at walang emosyon na kasamahan dahilan para mas lumakas ang mga luha sa magkabilang pisngi nya.
"T-thank you..." Andromeda whispered then her eyes looked at the sky.
Nakita nalang nya ang isa-isang butil ng luhang pumatak sa magkabilang nga mata nito habang nakatingin sa kalangitan.
"Atleast, I could be able to see Alex again..."she whispered saka lumingon sa humagulgol ng iyak na si Bea. And then she smiled at her. "P-promise me...that you'll stay alive and you'll c-continue...t-to p-protect the mistress..."
Umiiyak namang tumango sa kanya si Bea. "I promise"
Andromeda just gave her that last smile and spoke.
"That's all I've ever wanted to hear"
And then she finally vanished into the air. Leaving Bea sobbing her heart out in the middle of that bloody battlefield for she lost another true friend.
********************
Zeke was busy killing his opponents using his sword when someone caught his attention.
At nang makilala nya ang dating leader nila ay doon nya naramdaman ang matinding galit sa dibdib nya lalo pa na't ito ang dahilan kung bakit nagdusa ang mga masters nila.
Binunot nya ang espada mula sa dibdib ng bampira na pinatay nya and like a flash, attacked Raven.
But Raven is no wonder older and more trained than him.
Kaya hindi na sya nabigla na bigla itong lumingon sa kanya at sinangga nito ang espada nya gamit ang espada nito.
Sa sobrang lakas ng pagsangga nito ay agad syang napaatras and then he crouched into the ground.
Nagtaas naman ng mukha si Raven at nakita nya ang smirk na gumuhit sa labi nito nang makita sya.
"Oh Zeke..." he said. "I'm so happy to see you..."
He growled and snarled at him.
Hindi nya matanggap na nagawa silang lokohin at gamitin ng masamang bampirang ito. And to make it worst, ginamit sila nito laban sa masters nila. And that thought made him more mad.
"Okay, I'll give you an option" Raven said habang pinupunasan ang dugong nagkalat sa espada nito gamit ang kamay nito. "Join me or..."
Saka nito dinilaan ang dugong nasa kamay nito na nanggaling sa espada nito and then those blue eyes stared at him.
"...die."
But he just growled.
"You..." he whispered saka tumayo ng maayos. "You're the one who's going to die"
And then like a flash, he attacked him again.
They just attacked each other at dahil isa sya sa mga pinagkamagaling na swordsman ng Arcadian Knights ay nakakahabol din sya sa dating leader nila.
"This is for my masters!" ang galit na galit na sigaw nya at sasaksakin na sana nya ito pero...
Unti-unting nanlaki ang mga mata nya nang maramdaman ang pagkirot ng tagiliran nya.
And before he knew it, he slowly fell to the ground.
Yes, he was about to stab Raven but like a flash, Raven disappeared on his front and appeared into his side and stabbed him deep.
Napaluhod nalang sya mula sa lupa habang ramdam nya ang paglabas ng maraming dugo mula sa nasaksak na tagiliran. Samantalang binunot naman ni Raven ang espadang isinaksak nito sa kanya at nakangising hinarap sya.
"Was it worth it?" Raven asked with a smirk on his face. "Was it worth it to die for your so called masters?"
"ZEKE!!!" ang narinig nyang tawag sa kanya ng dalawang pamilyar na boses na iyon.
Dahan-dahan naman syang napalingon sa pinagmulan ng boses at nakita nyang nakikipaglaban sina Cornelius at Jared habang nakatingin sa kanya.
"ZEKE! STAND UP!" ang sigaw ni Jared. At pilit sya nitong nilalapitan pero hindi ito makalapit sa kanya ng dahil sa dami ng Aarvaks na umaatake dito. "ZEKE!!!"
"DON'T DIE ON US YOU BASTARD!!!" si Cornelius at katulad ni Jared ay pilit ding lumalapit ito sa kanya. "LUMABAN KA!!!"
Naramdaman nalang nya ang isa-isang pagpatak ng mga luha sa magkabilang pisngi nya.
Then he looked up and looked at Raven's face.
He could already feel his life slowly vanishing from him.
"Yes..." he whispered then smiled. "It was worth dying for all the people you cared and loved..."
Isang ngisi lang ang isinagot sa kanya ni Raven.
"Well then..." Raven said saka nito hinawakan ang buhok nya at itinaas ang espadang hawak nito.
He slowly looked up and looked at the dark sky. The sky seem so calm. At gusto nyang ito ang huling makita nya bago sya tuluyang malagutan ng hininga.
"ZEKE!!!" he could still hear his friends calling for his name.
Pero alam nyang wala na syang lakas pa para lumaban pa.
"Accept your fate" Raven said saka nito itinaas ang espada nito and aimed for his head.
And that screamed of agony and pain echoed throughout the battlefield coming from his two comrades.
"ZEKE!!!"
But it's too late.
Parehong nanlamig at nanlaki ang mga mata nina Cornelius at Jared nang itaas ni Raven ang wala ng katawan na ulo ni Zeke at itinapon ito sa kanila.
"HAYUP KA!!!" ang umiiyak at galit na galit na sigaw ni Cornelius saka nito ibinagsak ang paa sa lupa.
The ground suddenly shook at bigla itong nahati sa dalawa dahilan para mahulog dito ang lahat ng Aarvak na nasa harapan nya.
And that gave him a chance to attacked Raven.
"PAPATAYIN KITANG HAYUP KA!!!" Cornelius screamed with rage.
But Raven disappeared from where he is standing and suddenly appeared into his back.
Nanlaki nalang ang mga mata ni Cornelius nang maramdaman ang presensya ni Raven sa likuran nya.
While Raven raised his sword and about to stab him...but...
Out of nowhere, someone suddenly grasp Raven's face and crashed him to the ground. Sa lakas nang pagkakabagsak nya doon ay medyo bumaon pa sya sa lupa.
Dahan-dahan namang nagtaas ng mukha si Cornelius para makita kung sino ang humila kay Raven.
And what he saw is that blond guy with a smirk on his face.
"Oh geez. You shouldn't pick on children like that" the vampire whispered into Raven. "You should play fair"
Yes. The water vampire Argon ancestor, Edward.
Agad namang nakabawi si Raven at naglabas sya ng apoy mula sa kamay nya habang hawak parin ni Edward ang mukha nya sa lupa.
He aimed it to Edward but Edward dodge it and stood up on the ground.
Samantalang agad namang tumayo mula sa pagkakahiga sa lupa si Raven at hinarap ang ancestor na iyon.
And then he smirk.
"It's so nice to see you again, Edward" he said.
Nag-cross arms naman si Edward at nakangising napatingin din sa kanya.
"Well, it's been so long..." Edward said then smirk. "...but you're still that same old stupid boy who knew nothing but to make ruckus just like his brother"
Raven spit blood from his side and looked at Edward.
"Then are you here to stop me?" Raven asked with a smirk on his face.
Inilagay naman ni Edward ang hintuturo sa baba na para bang nag-iisip.
"Hmmm...wait lang, iniisip ko pa..." he said then he exclaimed. "Aha! May tama ka!"
Raven just smirk then took his sword firmly on his hands.
"Well, I'd like to see you try"
But Edward just smirk back at him.
"Oh well..." he said then his eyes turned serious. "I won't try. I'll do it"
And that mark the start of their bloody duel.
to be continued...
