Immortality of Love
Warrior Atlas & Ruler Lee

"Uno!" First battle position... A straight posture with left arm at rest and right arm diagonally straight while holding on the sword on the left hand tightly.

"Uno!" The warriors repeated what their commander stated and copied the position.

"Dos!" Second battle position... Both right leg and right arm forward, sword straight ahead.

"Dos!" The warriors repeated and copied the position.

"Tre—" The commander's voice was cut short by a woman's squeal.

"Daddy!" Tuwang-tuwa na patiling pagtawag ni Lee sa kaniyang ama na siyang army commander and trainer.

All warriors immediately covered their ears.

All, except Atlas, the exchanged warrior from the southern army. But he got suprised, though.

"Who's that?" He asked his fellow warrior, Rakki, beside him.

"Lee," Agad na sagot ni Rakki. Minasahe niya ang mga tainga. "Peste talaga 'yang babaeng 'yan. Grabe kung makatili. Sakit sa tainga." Reklamo niya, masakit pa rin ang mga tainga. He also made a face.

"The commander's daughter?" Atlas asked for clarification. To be sure.

He wouldn't dare offend any member of the northern army commander's family. He must behave... so that he can go home to his adoptive family soon.

"Oo," Ang sagot ni Rakki. Tinapik niya sa balikat si Atlas. "P're, napakasalbahe n'yan. Maldita pa at utosera. Hangga't maaari, lumayo ka para magkaroon ka ng maayos-ayos na buhay rito." Isa pang tapik. "Doon lang muna 'ko sa may silong, ha? Init dito, eh."

Tumango lang si Atlas at umalis na nga si Rakki.

Pinanonood niya ang mag-ama. They are both sweet towards one another. He can't help but feel... a bit jealous. He never knew the feeling of having an actual father, let alone a real family member. He was abandoned at the doorstep of his adoptive family at birth which is composed of his adoptive mother and three adoptive younger sisters. No father... Both in real and adoptive.

The training soon continued when that Lee left. It lasted until sunset.

Atlas was walking towards his own tent far in the woods when he come across Lee.

Tahimik siyang naglalakad at akmang iiwasan ang babae, pero bigla-bigla na lang itong nadulas, dahil sa maputik na lupa. As if programmed, he saved her, holding her by the waist.

Sana pala hindi niya na lang ginawa.

"Bastos!" Lee shouted as she forced Atlas to free her from his grasp.

Inalis na ni Atlas ang pagkakahawak sa bewang ng dalaga. Napakunot-noo ang binata. "I just saved you, Miss, and this is how you thank me? By calling me bastos?" His voice was full of sarcasm. He actually got offended.

"I don't need your saving!" Malditang sagot ng dalaga. "Hmp!" Umirap pa ito at pinatama ang buhok sa mukha niya bago padabog na naglakad palayo. Ang binata ay lalong napakunot-noo. It was his first time meeting someone that bratty.

Such a brat, on his mind as if continued to walk towards his tent. Napapailing pa ang binata.

— a Riddlestory —

The next day, he have met her again... and she made him serve her the entire day! Utos dito, utos doon. Ang daming kung anu-anong pinagagawa sa kaniya ng dalaga na lalong nagpapagod sa kaniya! Pagod na nga siya sa pagsasanay, pagod pa siya lalo dahil sa malditang utoserang Lee.
