On the other hands the plan was perfectly arranged by Thea. Idio and the others had their way to the throne room. They have escaped. The ice people were locked up and tied and they replaced them. They dressed themselves as part of the court.

"I know that one day she'll realize that she have done a big mistake ang begged for forgiveness"-said marko slowly crawling in the dark cold  tunnel. He know that Thea will never conquered the heart of Ajenta, because of its hard headed and free spirited nature. He read thea's movement, expressions, he knew that thea are more  capable than a blood thirsty murderer. He happens to gone to a place were the will-o- the wisp calls him and right there he has found the answer he seek for a long time. He's been away from the others and had his own journey alone.

"How can you so be so calm? Do you know something that we didn't knew?"-takang wika ni noah sa kanya pero di ito sumagot.

"There's a tunnel over here"- turo ni idio na nasa unahan nila na hawak ang mapa na pasikot na tunnel ng palasyo.

"I hope this is not a trap"-pangunguna ni yumie

"I hope too"-xirien added

"Kung isa man itong patibong, wala tayong aatrasan. Were 𝑜ℎ𝑡𝑎𝑟, we have are one goal together for the future of haeannon"-maomao tried to push away the fear and trying to move forward. "Remember if ajenta were here, she will too, She never outrun this.."

"Thea is more than that"-marko whispered

Yumie and Noah became suspicious on marko's action. Like he trust thea more than ajenta. He was too patient even he lose in the battle. Kampante ito kay thea simula sa unang pagkikita nito. Sa gabi ng kakaibang pagbagsak na bulalakaw. Isa sa dahilan na sa pagtagpo ng araw at ng buwan at sya ay bumangon. Thea whom they call the blood demon. A key for all the rauko's whose awaiting for her to finally escape.

Inalis nila ang isang bagay na nakaharang sa kanilang daanan at nakita nila ang Lagusan palabas ng tunnel. Lumabas na sila at nakapasok sila sa mga royal closet. May narinig silang tunog ng takong na papalapit at nagsitaguan sila at nakita nila ang mga taong yelo putting their makeup on. Sinamantala nila ang pagkakataon and disguise as one of the ice people. To lure them to the queen

And gone to the royal ball where the queen didn't realize that it wasn't her people, But her enemy in disguised. Thea is patiently standing right next to the queen and gave them signal to attack. She make sure that it her plan won't fail.

The music are played beautifully and they glided to the dance floor. Others playing their part and its a good disguise. Di man lang sila napansin ng reyna. Thea slightly did her mischievous grin and waiting for the queens command.

"Your majesty, may I have this dance?"-marko seduce the queen with his smile which made the queen blush and dance with him.

Sinunyas si thea na pumalit sa kanyang pwesto si maomao na pareho namang may suot na hood agad siyang umalis at hinanap ang possibleng kwarto na pinagtataguan ng tatlong meer. Mga tatlong nagkapirasong asul na crystal pero sya ay nabigo sya. Namie came to the rescue and they rushed to the library and She said to herself that theres a secret passageway but she didn't knew the exact door opening. They keep on looking and the books scattered all over the place

"Nasan!"-she curse and Thea glance on her while picking books on the shelves.

Umakyat ito sa hagdan at hinanap parin ang pinto. A slow creak was heard as she accidentally touch one book. And somehow the shelves slowly slide open. Namie almost shouted as she bump onto one of her mother's minister. But Thea didn't gave him a chance and it lies dead on the floor. They entered the secret room and it was dim inside the only light was from the torches on their respected brackets. They saw a shimmering light from a few miles a way.

A sighed in relief satisfied her.  The crystal levitate in the air and turning clockwise. Thea raised her hand to reach it and some memories came on her in an instant and she found herself lying and the earth is moving.

Napabalikwas sya ng bangon at nasa kamay na nya ang tatlong hiwaga. May ilaw na pumasok sa kanyang ugat at papunta sa kanyang kabilang mata, na di nya napapansin.

𝐺𝑤𝑒𝑑 𝑠𝑢𝑖 𝑙𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑔 𝑖 𝑒𝑑𝑙𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑎 𝑎𝑛 𝑢𝑖𝑟

The voice kept ringing and she doesn't have any idea who and why it was whispering to her. Binalewala nalang nya ito at lumabas ng aklatan. Bumalik sya at nakitang nagsasaya ang reyna at kanya na nyang tinaas ang kanyang kamay and others ripped their clothes. All of them have circled the queen and unsheathed their weapons

"Guard she's seize them!"-sigaw ng reyna pero walang kawal na nagpakita. Siya nalang pala ang mag isa. Her only chance was thea.

But she kneel on her ground when thea place the scythe on the  back of her neck. "An evil do not take orders from a coward"

Namie narrowed her eyes on her mother whose kneeling from her enemies "Mom please don't do this"

"Namie! how dare yo--"-her mother cried.

Namie became emotional but she's happy and finally have her wish granted. To set the people free..

"Sorry mom. Hindi  ko gusto ang pagtrato mo. Your not fit to rule. You killed so many"-Thea remove the queen's crown and place it on namie's head.

For a second ticks of the clock her body glowed and turn into a young woman. She now became the new frost byte queen and the heart of cold won't never won again in her rein. "FREEDOM!!"-sigaw nito at sumigaw narin ang mga mga alipin para sabayan sya.

"Freedom!!!!"

The battle is over at and the ice who covered the land. Zequar and Vanua and Ellanian honored the hero who fought with bravery and feast began. Ang mga namatay ay naglaho na bilang maliit na ilaw at sumabay na sa ihip ng hangin.

Thea is looking from a distance and have her way to north and have that smile almost ripped her face. She felt something inside her cheering. She whirled back and draw her katana as she heard a foot step coming but it was just her enemy who accidentally became her allies.

Nilahad nila ang kanilang kamay. Bilang pagtanggap kay thea. Nagdadalawang isip siya na sumama dahil sa laki ng kanyang nagawang kasalanan di lang sa kanila kundi sa mga taong pinatay nya ng walang kalaban laban.

But inside of her whispered and force herself to believe that everybody have their second chance. Tumulo ang kanyang luha at di napigilan ang sarili. They embrace her and gladly gave her an open  arms.

Nakaupo ako na umiinim ng isang masarap na tubig pero may kulay ito.

"That's a wine made out of red grape"

Napalingon ako sa nagsalita at si leo kasama si marko na may hawak na madaming pagkain sa plato.

"Want one?"-inabot sakin ni marko ang isang pulang bagay at dahil sa wala akong alam kung ano ito ay tinapon ko palayo.

"That's a food"-bored na sambit ni marko

" Why is it red?"

"Malamang may kula-- hayayay!"-inis na ani ni leo at kumamot lang sa kanyang buhok. Ano bang problema nya?

"A food comes in different colors like you"

"Are you trying to seduce me?"

Marko just turn his gazed away and his ears turn red; Smirking for finding her cute  "W--what no, no, I am teaching you"

"Nu-uh were teaching her the way of girls. Lalake ka pano ka magtututo sa babae? hmm?"-xirien. Marko turn his back and scoffed

"Is he always that intense?"-I said

"Not at all. He just selfish and a coward"

"Selfish? What selfish?"

I guess there so much more to learn. Being good is nice, Its so warm  and I don't feel fear and anger like before, It was cold and I felt all alone but now. I saw how life really is beautiful.

"Lets party muna okay? its our night"-sabay hila sakin at may ginawa silang galaw and put disguise on my face.  They're embarrassing themselves to those people around the us.

"Dance!"-hila sakin ni idio at patuloy syang gumewang gewang.

"Dance?"

"Ugh! just follow my lead.  Slide to the left then shake your booty then slap it!"

"EW"

"Step away!"-maomao push him. She's drank. No drinks for me then. She sat beside me and chuckles "Only if ajenta was here to see this"

Palihim ko syang tiningnan. Pero patuloy syang nagsalita tungkol sa babae na tinatawag nila.

"What happen to her?"

I heard mao's low chuckles and she snorted and throw the drinks away harshly. "We were to late to save her. But she's the most amazing friend. Madaldal sya madali ring mapikon at--- even nor a short time I had been free myself from the worst memory of my past. She save us from Clexa by sacrificing herself. Muntikan ko nang mapahamak si xirien dahil gusto kong makapag higanti sa ginawa nya. But it turn out everything was plan.... Chaa that's too much for one night I need to res...."-she yawn and rest her head on my shoulder. " But gladly your here.." she added and began to snore

Haeannonian was amazing. They are all amazing. Lumapit si idio at dinala nya si maomao sa higaan nito. Akmang pipikit na ako ng may biglang maramdaman akong may tumabi sakin. And its yumie. "So thea. Where you from?"-biglang tanong nito.

That was a good question. Because even I don't know where I am. And Why am I alone in the first place. "A.... I don't know. All I remember that I was awoke by all of you and I have a bad dream that I killed people in my bares hands... I don't know but I just knew that I am thrilled killing people for fun"

"You know thea. Killing is not the only way. I have gone to much. I seen dead bodies and I want it to be part of my past. But you. You just made it worst. Maybe if she was here baka kayo ang maging rival kayo"

"Why do you always comparing me with her? "-may halong inis kong wika.

"You are a lot like her. She was like you too, she was lost and she found us. And she had a promise that we will bring back the light of haeannon. I love my comrade and i'll do anything to save them"

"Why do you became open so sudden?"

"For you to know that friendship might take a long time but stronger."-she deeply sighed "Di ko lang siguro tanggap na nawala ang alaala niya"-She tries to smile kahit halata naman ay maiiyak na sya.

"I thought she's dead"

"Nope, she's very much alive"

"Do you treat me as your friend now?"

"Yes. We accepted whole heartedly even that man over there "-Turo nya at tiningnan ko si marko na nakatinghala sa buwan na nasa taas ng sanga "Alam mo na may inaalala sya. Kapag gabi kase ay sinusuway sya ni ajenta dahil sa rauko na nakakalaban namin na lumalabas Tuwing kabilugan ng buwa--"

They have fought demons? such brilliance

"How did you kill the rauko? I don't believe you"

"You don't need to believe us. I'm just happy that you listen" she said and took a nao beside me "Matulog ka na rin"

Binalingan ko nang tingin si Marko. Na nakatinghala parin sa buwan. Ang lalim siguro ng iniisip nun "Wag mo akong minamasdan ng palihim"-banta nya at nabigla ako ng lumukso siya sa harapan ko. He touch my cheeks and his hand is so warm. I felt something weird on my stomach as he do that " The moon is beautiful isnt it"

"Huh?"

There's a slight cackled on him "Matulog kana. We had a long way"

"Way? San tayo pupunta?"-bumuntong hininga ito at halatang nakulitan sa tanong ko

"You'll see"-he said and turn his back on me

"Do you love ajenta?"-tanong ko na kinahinto nya at di nya ako nilingon " Both"

"What both?"

"Just take a nap"

"Shit!"-napaatras ako ng may biglang sumingit sa likuran ko "Xirien! don't do that!"

"Actually if you wonder whose ajenta. Ajenta is the mortal being from earth and the other ajienta was the most fearful warrior of enchanted kingdom. Princess Yumie's kingdom"

"Yumie is a princess?"

She nod "Actually her name was crystille a half moon elf. She died accidentally in her coronation and she--"

"Lahat ba kayo may nakaraan?"

She nod again with a wide smile " Maomao is part of my dark past. Noah and idio is secretly a merman. And Maomao was actually mark's royal guard when they were a kids"

"I think you mean marko?"

"HAHAHA"-bigla lang syang tumawa at tinapik ako "It's not your fault to know that he was two in one body. Both Prince's merge into one.

"HUH?" Nakita nya siguro ang reaksyon ko kaya tumatawa lang sya

"Mark and yano, Ajenta renamed them as marko. The mortal one.. sorry for not telling you, both is an omen Goddess "

Mas lalo akong naiwang puno ng katanungan ang hirap nilang intindihan. May dalawang babae na may pagkapareho ang pangalan then and isa tao ang isa naman warrior them which is the goddess? WTF

"Wag mo nang intindihin its a long crazy story. Mark is a prince of a diamond kingdom and yano is an elf prince of edhellia. And don't count me as a royalty, I'm only just a fisher mens daughter..."

"Soon to be the queen of the sea"-napalingon ako kaming sabay ng magpatuloy si Noaah na kinablush ni xirien!

"Noah!"
