Scars of Chaos

Chapter 48

Lemon’s Point of View

Giants are ancient beings. It is said that they roamed the world in a time long before recorded history. No one has seen giants in centuries, but they are known. The archives mentioned that they live somewhere in the west, in distant lands beyond the reach of humans.

Ang mga nilalang na ito ay kilalang hindi pala-kaibigan sa mga tao at hindi nangingialam sa kahit na ano mang human affairs as long as hindi sila nadadamay. Kung kaya’t hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala sa aking nakikita ngayon. Kung saan niya nahanap ang katawan ng mga nilalang na ito, no one knows. Ang malala pa ay dalawa ang kinokontrol ng Phantom queen.

“Giants are ancient beings! They can’t be treated this way, or there will be war between us and the giants,” the queen said with so much horror. “I don’t know where she found the giants’ corpses, but one thing is for sure: the giants won’t take this lightly. The dead are enough! ”

I agree.

“Well, we still need to do something, right?" Seryosong saad ni Nathaniel, habang hindi inaalis ang kaniyang mga mata sa dalawang higante. “Those giants are dead. We can still stop them since they move slowly.” His tongue clicked like he’s annoyed at something I don’t know. “Chop them to pieces.”

My eyes widen.

“You’re creepy, bro,” nakangiwing komento ni Zeno.

Nakakunot ang nuong nilapitan ko si Nath. “Those are ancient! Chopping them into pieces will complicate things! ”

He shrugged, looking at me with his bored eyes. “It’s the only way that comes to mind, and those are corpses. We can’t stop them with our magic because, again, they are already dead. The ropes that we have are not enough to stop those giants from moving,” he says. “So, chopping them to pieces is the only way; not only will it stop them from moving, but it will also take them out of battle temporarily until that Phantom Queen is defeated.”

As the giants started to move again, the ground shook and trembled, as if it couldn’t handle their enormous size. Mabilis akong napahawak sa braso ni Nath nang bigla na namang gumalaw ng malakas ang kalupaan. I looked at them again, and my grip on Nathaniel’s arm tightened.

My eyes widen when the giants move their hands to strike our forces. Ang bawat paghampas at pagmartsa ng dalawang higante ay nagdudulot ng malakas na pagyanig sa lupa, tila’y pumapalakpak ito sa takot. I watched as the giants attacked our forces with strength like no other.

Nanginginig ang buong katawan ko habang pinapanood ang paligid na nababalot ng kagimbal-gimbal na sigaw at ungol, habang ang kalupaan ay tila’y bumibigay sa bigat ng pangyayari.

“We need to do something before they wipe out our remaining forces!” kinakabahang sigaw ni Rain sabay tingin sa hari at reyna.

The king hesitated for a while. He swallowed the lump on his throat before speaking, “Titans, I command you to do whatever is necessary to stop the giants from advancing.”

Nath smirked as he alerted his body, like he couldn’t wait to get closer to the giants. “Chop them to pieces, it is.”

I sighed before I transformed into a bird. I flapped my little wings to fly high so that I could see everything from high above. Mula sa itaas ay kitang kita ko ang lahat. Lahat ng pangyayari sa kapaligiran, kung paano pilit na nilalabanan ng mga kawal ang puwersa ng Phantom queen kahit alam naman nilang wala silang laban dahil sa bilang pa lang ay talo na sila.

Bumaling ang aking tingin kina Rain. They are running as fast as they can, and I can almost hear their footsteps echoing through the battlefield. Yumanig muli ang kalupaan nang gumalaw na naman ang dalawang higante palapit sa natitira naming kawal.
