Chapter Sixty-Three: Two Queens and a Sparrow

-chapter sixty-three-

THIRD PERSON

"I have no intention of using those rocks." anunsiyo ni Marcella.

Sumang-ayon dito si June. "Ako din. I don't really want to use them. Too much work."

The nearby floating islands gulped at the tremendous dark energy that burned that specific place. Napakabigat ng tensiyon na mayroon ang tatlong babae, since Renée was just standing behind Finn, looking conflicted. Aside from the blonde beauty, the remaining three had fierce glares and curled lips.

Hindi mo na kailangan maging sobrang talino para malaman ang hinanakit na mayro'n sila sa isa't isa.

"Hindi ko tinanong."

Nagulat ang lahat ng manlalarong nakarinig sa sobrang lamig na boses ni Finn. It was different from her usual small and adorable voice, now it feels blank and pissed - an emotion so rarely seen from the female rogue. And it was also a tone so close to a well-known streamer.

Amnesia glowered at the display of arrogance. Matagal niya nang hindi gusto si Finn at mas lumala pa ngayon. Alam niyang may tinatago itong kasamaan, at mukhang lumalabas na ang totoong kulay nito ngayon.

It truly is a surprise once the quiet girl speaks out her savage thoughts.

"How surprising." June chuckled. "You always need more provocation to talk. Pero, sige, kung hindi kaming dalawa ang gagamit niyan... who would then? Tatlo lang ang pwedeng sumakay dito." nagkibit-balikat siya. "And if no one goes, then the most injured one will be kicked out. I hope you can fly-"

Napahinto si June sa pagsasalita nang makitang hindi man lang siya pinansin ni Finn. When she started speaking, Finn only sighed and walked towards the edge of the floating island, looking at the nearest rock. Sumunod sa kaniya si Renée na may binubulong na tanong at inignora lang ng dalawa ang speech ni June.

June clenched her fists, furious beyond doubt. How dare Finn ignore her?!

Ang mga malalapit naman na player sa kanila ay napasulyap kay Finn. Out of all the players, she was the first one to walk towards the edge, with the goal of using the rock stairs. Ang iba kasi'y nagme-meeting pa kung sino ang aalis o 'di kaya'y nakatayo lang at naghihintay sa unang aalis.

After seeing Finn's lack of hesitance to use the rock stairs, the other players also made their decisions. Kahit na mayroon pa silang mixed feelings kay Finn dahil ito ang sinasabing pumatay kay Depore, at gano'n na rin kay Caspian - nagulat na lang sila nang makita ang balitang patay na ang player. He's one of the players they knew that could finish the game.

Dierran was the second one to make a decision. Kasama niya kasi sa floating island ang isang sugatang Wes, dahil sobrang nahirapan ito sa paglaban sa clown at nagkaroon pa sila ng gulo ni Kairo, at dalawang players na mukhang newbie. Dierran had to take the responsibility then, since his air magic could also support him.

Iyon din ang naiisip ni Renée.

"Ako na, Finn. You're injured." nag-aalala niyang tugon sa kaibigan. "I can also use my air magic for this."

Umiling lamang si Finn. "Shadow will help."

May tiwala naman siya kay Renée at sa paggamit nito ng magic niya, pero hindi pa rin siguradong ang gaps lang sa mga rocks ang problema. There are other things to consider, like the winged beasts that hover just above the dome. Hindi sila nakakalipad sa taas ng floating island, ngunit isa silang panganib sa mga taong bababa gamit ang rock stairs.

Once they arrive at their range of attack, siguradong mapapalaban sila.

Finn couldn't let Renée go by herself. Hindi ito dahil hindi siya naniniwala sa kakayahan ng kaibigan, ngunit dahil wala siyang tiwala sa mga taong makakasama nito sa pagbaba. Marcella and June won't lay a hand on Renée if she stays here, dahil makikita sila ng ibang mga players. The world will end before the two would let their popularity and fame be tarnished.
