- THIRD PERSON'S POV -

Few minutes ago before Azra left the scene. It was only Frost and the faery with blue hair. Anyone could tell what may happen next. A fight.

"Fascinating. I didn't know I'd get to see a fairy this soon." Frost said with eyes observing the unusual appearance of faery from head to toe that he mistaken to be a butterfly earlier. Although faeries are not extinct, they are creatures known of being hostile to humans. Ayaw nilang nakikisalamuha sa mga tao kaya nakakagulat para kay Frost na makakita nito. That is because almost faeries stays at their realm, only few of them are visiting the human society from time to time.

Hindi nagustuhan ni Atasi ang pagmamata sa kanya ni Frost. This is why he hates humans, all of them are the same, always throwing unwanted gazes as if they are some interesting objects for them to see. Atasi felt insulted.

"You should've just stay inside the cell. That way I'll make your death painlessly as possible." still irritated that Azra escaped, Atasi grunted. Alam niya man na hindi basta-bastang makakaalis sa isla si Azra, nababanas padin siya sa pangingialam ni Frost. Hindi maiwasan ni Atasi maisip na paano kung magtagpo ang landas ni Azra at ng kanyang Reyna? Alam naman niyang makapangyarihan ang Reyna ngunit hindi niya ata maatim na maabala ito ng dagang kanyang nabigo ikulong. Hindi niya na kailangan pang mag tagal dito, hindi niya na kailangan pang mag sayang ng oras. Atasi is determined to finished Frost as quick as possible, and the latter seems planning to do the same thing.

"You seem dangerous." Frost put a hand on his pocket and massaged the back of his neck as he carefully scanned the surroundings before letting his ocean eyes fell into the faery's gaze. Atasi felt like he was being judged. Ganito ba talaga makatingin ang lalakeng 'to? Isip-isip ni Atasi ay parang tagos buto niya ang mga mata nito.

Frost proceed, "I apologized. I don't really know what's happening but I don't want to fight you." kalmadong saad ng binata. Prente itong nakatayo, suksok ang magkabilaang kamay sa bulsa ng kupas na pantalon. It's a kind of posture telling that he has no intention to fight. Ngayon kasi ay nasa katinuan na si Frost at nagawa nang makapag-isip ng maayos, nilayasan na ito ng espirito ng pagkabagong gising. Kung kanina ay gusto niyang kalabanin ang faery dahil sa kuryosidad, ngayon ay naisip ni Frost na mas praktikal ang wag muna. There are two reasons.

Firstly, Frost prefers to reserve his energy and not get into fight for exactly no reasons. Wala siyang malay kung ano ang nangyayari dahil kagigising lang, ang pagkakatanda niya lang ay may nangyaring bagyo at tinangay siya 'non dito. But why is the faery so aggressive? Did his crew started some fuss? Definitely not. Alam ni Frost ang pag-uugali ng mga miyembro, Jewel, Kaito, and Azra are not troublemakers, si Zech naman ngayon ay lay low dahil fresh padin ang pagkakamaling ginawa niya noong nasa Weipan sila, walang kapal ng mukha yun magsimula ng gulo. Secondly, as the captain, Frost wants to gather with his crew, gusto niyang malaman ang kalagayan ng mga ito.

Knowing all of that, Frost still continue, "It looks like you have no intention accepting my apology. Honestly, it makes me sad." Hindi padin kasi nagbabago ang ekspresyon ng faery, walang nagbago sa mga mata nitong matatalim at mga kukong handa siya atakihin. "Did we do something wrong?" Frost carefully asked in a soft manner yet at the same time, insincere and empty.

"You trespassed our territory." Atasi accused.

"Is that it?" Frost didn't bat an eye. "Or was it because we're humans."

"Alam mo naman pala, bakit nagtatanong ka pa!" Atasi aggressively charged at Frost. He lunged an attack but Frost immediately dodged it, kinuha nito ang kanyang braso at dinala patalikod, ngayon ay nakasubsob na si Atasi sa pader habang ang braso at leeg niya ay mahigpit na hawak ng lalake.
