════════ ✥.❖.✥ ════════❝Chapter 21❞It was late when Cassius came back to me and told me that he would only agree if I let him follow whatever he wanted. He wants to ensure that my plan to meet the phoenix would not lead me to danger so I agreed to what he wanted. I told Esmeralda that I was leaving first and lied that I had another mission given to me. It's good that she believed me even though I know she was really worried about me leaving. I also instructed her to take good care of Darius while I was away.Now we are in the middle of the forest while searching for the place where the phoenix's home is."Want some?" I offered him the rolled salmon that Esmeralda packed for me. He turned to me and came closer to me then bit into my rolled salmon.He continued walking again while I just followed him. He chose to be in his human form so that I could walk with him because it was already night and he didn't want what happened to me when I was alone in this forest to happen again. "Ouch

════════ ✥.❖.✥ ════════❝Chapter 23❞I am riding on Cassius' back while we're traveling back to arean tribe's home. Bumaba pa kami mula sa pinakamataas na bundok dahil ayoko na ang lumipad pa. Simula din nang mawala ang presensya ng lost soul ay naging maayos na ang aura dito sa itaas ng kagubatan. Nang makababa kami ay huminto muna kami sa ilog na pinanggalingan namin kanina para makapagpahinga. Cassius' washed his face while I remain quiet, sitting beside the large boulder. "What do you think will happen after we come back there?" tanong ko. Napalingon siya sa 'kin. "Why would you ask me that? I don't really care," pabalang na sagot niya saka binasa ang buhok niya. Tinitigan ko siya mula ulo hanggang paa at hindi ko maiwasang mamangha sa porma ng katawan niya. Tagatak siya ng tubig mula sa binasa niyang buhok kaya mas lalong humulma ang hugis ng katawan niya. "A lot of women are attracted to you, for sure," bulong ko sa sarili at hindi napansing nakatitig na pala ako sa katawan

════════ ✥.❖.✥ ════════❝Chapter 25❞Pumatong sa pinakamalaking bato ang priestess at inisa-isang binulong ang kan'yang mga dasal bago sinimulang gamitin ang kan'yang kapangyarihan. Nasa tuktok siya ng bundok kung saan makikita ang malawak na dagat na ngayo'y tila handa na sa pagsalakay sa kanilang tribo. The whirlpools were big enough that it could destroy a mountain, lalo pa't malakas din ang ulan, maging ang hangin. Inipon niya ang kan'yang lakas upang magkaroon ng malaking harang gamit ang hangin. The barrier was large enough to shield the island but it was not strong enough to withstand the strong whirlpools coming to destroy the island. Tears broke down from her eyes while trying control the barrier when the whirlpools striked. She can feel the pain throbbing inside her as her mana began to dissolve because of using too much power. Hiniling niya sa panginoong maprotektahan niya ang kanilang tribo. "Let us go now, priestess! Let's leave, now!" Lilith screams as she tried reach

════════ ✥.❖.✥ ════════❝Chapter 27❞My life as a call center agent was tough, inot just because of the time and tasks related to work, but it also adds up to the struggles I've been facing since I became the breadwinner. Ako ang panganay kaya ako dapat ang magtaguyod sa pamilya, ako dapat ang susuporta sa mga kapatid kong hirap sa pag-aaral dahil sa kahirapan. Si mama, hindi makahanap ng matinong trabaho dahil may sakit siya sa puso at hindi rin siya nakapagtapos ng pag-aaral. Si papa naman ay nagkasakit ng kidney stone na sa kadahilanang wala kaming pang-opera ay namatay ito sa kasamaang palad. Kaya naman ay napunta sa akin lahat ng responsibilidad. Hindi naman sa nagrereklamo ako, mahal ko ang pamilya ko. Pero sa tuwing naiisip ko ang mga pagkakataong nasayang dahil ibinuhos ko ang sarili sa trabaho ay nanghihinayang ako. I wasn't able to experience life as a teenager. Mga ligawan, galaan, at pagpasok sa isang relasyon ay hindi ko naranasan. I have plenty of what ifs that I can on

════════ ✥.❖.✥ ════════❝Chapter 29❞"Where is Darius?" I asked him. He gently caressed my head while I am leaning on his chest. "He's at your room, I teleported and hid him there." Tumango-tango ako. Nasa bench pa rin kami, pinapakalma ako. Tumahan na ako sa pag-iyak kaya naman ay pinagpahinga muna ako ni Cassius sa bisig niya. We were silent the whole time, walang nagkusang magsalita o magbukas ng topic pagkatapos ng halikan namin, ngayon lang.Para nga akong nakalutang ngayon, hindi ako makapaniwalang umabot ako sa puntong makikipaghalikan ako pagkatapos umamin ng feelings ko. Well, it's not the first time that we kissed, but it was the first time I felt that it was romantic. Pero ano nga ba kami?No label but engaged in secret?Napangiwi ako sa naisip at nagmadaling humiwalay sa kan'ya. "Okay na ako," I said to him and fixed myself. Sobrang basa ko sa sariling luha ko. "Are you sure?" he asked. Eyes checking on me, kaya mas lalo akong nailang at pinilit na iniwas ang tingin mu
