Chapter Sixty-Eight: Gate of Lies

-chapter sixty-eight-

THIRD PERSON

When the large gates slammed to a close, the crimson sky was filled with winged beasts.

It started at one small dragon, screeching as it passed by. Ang mga manlalarong naiwan sa labas ay nagtatakang napatingin sa taas. Ngunit dahil hindi naman talaga sila interesado dito, they ignored it.

Until about a dozen flew by, wings flapping aggressively and shadowing the hundred of them below.

Dierran, who was already on alert at the first dragon, pulled Wes into a dark alley. He's still unconscious and it's Dierran's fault. Akala niya ay healing potion ang ibinigay ni Marcella kanina, but it was actually to put Wes to sleep. It baffled Dierran at first dahil hindi niya alam ang rason sa likod nito.

But when he saw Finn in the center of undeserved criticisms, he understood it.

Marcella knows that Wes wouldn't care about the situation their alliance is currently in. Dahil alam ni Marcella na wala sa kaniya ang loyalty ni Wes, her plan would break if he ever speaks up. While he's not popularly known for his gaming skills, he is respected as a smart and wise strategist. Kaya naman kung kokontrahin niya ang sinabi ni Marcella or provide doubts for the people to hesitate. It can destroy Marcella's plan of destroying Finn's image.

Hindi alam ni Dierran kung bakit niya ito ginagawa, ngunit hindi din siya nakapagsalita kanina dahil sa sitwasyong kasalukuyang hinaharap niya. They really crafted the plan carefully, making sure that there are no holes.

"Sebastian." tawag niya sa lalaking nakaupo sa may gilid. He has both hands on his downcasted head, shoulders slumped in defeat. "Go and hide next to Wes. You can't fight in your current condition."

"I'm always useless." mahinang tugon nito. "I don't even know why I came here, hoping I could protect Finn when I can't even do shit-"

His words were cut off when Dierran pulled him up, pushing him next to Wes. The voices behind them are getting louder as the dragons keep on appearing. They weren't attacking, just circling around the city. Pero kailangan pa rin nilang maging alerto in case of any sudden attacks.

They don't know what's happening inside.

"Don't say that. Dadating din ang araw na masasabi mo kay Finn kung bakit wala ka sa tabi niya ngayon."

Hindi sumagot si Sebastian sa sinabi ni Dierran. It still doesn't excuse how helpless he is. Kahit siguro mapatawad siya ni Finn, he still can't forgive himself for just standing in the side as she suffered those insults.

He still can't believe it. How everything fell into a chaos when Finn lost consciousness.

Right now, the world they're in is under different filtered truths. It's painted in colorful lies where everyone has their own faults and sins.

A world that is currently being attacked by dragons.

The winged beasts swooped down without hesitation, wings tucked behind for a quicker speed and fangs out, ready to bite. Biglang nagkagulo sa nagkukumpulang manlalaro. Dahil sa sobrang pagpapanic ay napapatakbo sila sa iba't ibang direksiyon, causing them to bump against each other.
