The Dares of Death. [ Dedicated for Fatima SY: 2019-2020]

32 - Witness.

"We talked about this Mikhaila. No one is going anywhere. We are gonna stick together." Galit na singhal saakin ni Louise.

"But we can't just stay here and do nothing. Mabubulok tayo dito!" Sigaw ko pabalik kay Louise.

"We can't risk again."

"But we can't just be forever scared. Hindi pwedeng lagi tayong nakatunganga dito at habang buhay mag tago. Hindi ako pinapakinh duwag kagaya mo Louise." Matigas na sagot ko. Bumakas mukha ni Louise na nagulat siya sa sinabi ko.

"Hindi ako duwag Mikhaila. Nag iingat ako dahil hindi lahat ng laban kaya mong ipanalo. Sige kung gusto mo sige pumunta kayo sa Zoclailor."

"Wala ng dahilan pa para pumunta sa Zoclailor. Sira na ang lahat wala ng natira lahat abo." Mahinang sambit ni Rian.

"Ano bang ngyari sa Zoclailor Rian?" Tanong ni Louise.

Sandali kaming nabalot ng katahimikan. "I thought we ended him. I thought we killed him. But we didn't"

"Pardon?" Si Adeline.

"The Void, he's still alive. He left his mark on my home town darkness. I've never seen something so dark before...there's not even a speck of light. It was so dark and cold."

"This is why we need to do something Louise! We need to fight. The Novem world is collapsing. First Zoclailor then what? The whole novem world?" Sunod sunod kong sabi kay Louise. Tinitigan niya ako sa mata.

"No. Still no." Maikling sagot niya. Napailing ako

"But she's right Louise. Hindi pwedeng habang buhay tayong mag tago dito." Si Alliyah.

"Sorry Louise but i'm with Mikhaila this time." Si Valerie.

"Who's with me? We're gonna fucking kill that void once and for all." Tanong ko. Lahat sila ay nag taas ng kamay at nakita ko ang mapait na pag ngiti ni Louise.

"Do what you want. But i'm not with you guys. Wag niyong sabihin saakin ni hindi ko kayo binalaan." Sabay lakad paalis.

"Hindi ko lahat ipapadala sa Nullocos i'm gonna pick some. Ayokong isugal lahat." Panimula ko. Lahat ng atensyon nila ay nakatuon saakin.

"Be prepared everyone. This is gonna be a hardfight."

-

Handa na ang lahat. Handa na kaming pumasok at tapusin ang buhay ng Void.

Nakita kong naka-silip si Louise sa bintana. Malamig na nakatingin saamin. There's no going back now Louise. You will regret not coming with us.

Third person's POV

They then entered the portal to Nullocos.

"This is it.. The Void's realm.."  Christian said as he took a deep breath, trying his best to calm himself.

It was ironic how the home world of the most feared being in CPGI feels so peaceful.

The entire place is nothing but black.. but it wasn't dark. They can see each other clearly. The sky is also empty. No clouds, no stars, but there are figures that one could compare to northern lights.. But instead of the regular blue and green color, it's just different shades of purple.

The floor displays a faint purple light whenever they take a step. There is air but it's very faint. It was a surprise that they can breath in this odd realm. There are trees around, it looked like a forest. But they weren't normal. The trees are all twisted in different shapes and looks. There's a few flowers and plants. And just like the trees, they are all twisted and purple.
