Finally, I haven't had an update on this story for over a month, I guess? So, sorry. . . I was just so busy with my activities/modules, but now that our class is over I will keep updating already. Hopefully! Thank you so much for patiently waiting, Netizens. Happy 90k+ reads.

CHAPTER 20

GREEN LEMON

Sa sandaling naitapak ko ang mga paa ko sa loob ng Genesis Forest ay may naramdaman na agad akong kakaiba sa paligid.

Nakakabingi at kakaibang katahimikan agad ang sumalubong sa akin. Wala akong maramdamang simoy ng hangin, at kahit tunog ng mga ibon ay wala akong marinig.

Madilim ang buong paligid pero hindi na ito bago sa akin dahil minsan na akong pumasok dito, but what I was feeling right now is quite different from what I felt before. I guess something weird is really happening here right now that I need to know.

Of course, this forest is dangerous, and I am aware of that, but if you are a Clandestine or if you have a high position in the Royal Palace, you have nothing to worry about the dangerous creatures living in here. Pero hindi ko maiwasang makaramdam ng takot, lalo na at may babala akong natanggap kanina mula kay Psalm. Pero dapat ko nga ba siyang pagkatiwalaan—ang nilalang na alam kong isang kaaway?

But I still immediately prepared myself. Wala namang masama kung paniniwalaan ko siya, ‘di ba? Maybe I just need to be extra careful because there are still some parts of me that still can't want to believe what Psalm said.

So I made a sword using black flames so that I could more easily defend myself if ever someone attacks me.

Hinawakan ko ang espada ko sa kanang kamay ko, at sa kaliwa naman ay gumawa ako ng apoy na magbibigay ng liwanag sa aking daraanan.

Nang masiguro kong okay na ang lahat at handa na ako ay agad akong huminga nang malalim bago ko ihakbang ang aking mga paa paabante. At labis na naman akong nagtaka nang wala akong marinig na kahit tunog ng tuyong mga dahon na aking natatapakan. Kaya sigurado ako na may nangyayari nga talagang hindi kanais-nais sa lugar.

Pero kung mayro'n man, nasa'n ang ibang Clandestine ngayon? Where's Celeste, Virgo and Harmony at this time? Panigurado akong naramdaman din nila ang nararamdaman ko ngayon. Kung gano'n man, maaaring nasa paligid din lang sila, at gaya ko ay naghahanap din ng mga kasagutan sa nangyayari ngayon dito sa Genesis Forest.

"Hindi na ako mag paligoy-ligoy pa. I'm here to warn you that there is a trap set for you within that forest."

What Psalm told me earlier suddenly flowed through my mind.

"W-Wait . . ." I suddenly stopped, comprehending what Psalm told me.

"There's a trap set for you within the forest," I mouthed what Psalm told me.

"That this means that—" I stopped when what Celeste whispered to me earlier when we were just still in our room pretending I was still asleep flowed also through my mind.

"We are waiting for you!"

"I don't understand!" I confusedly whispered.

I even bit my lower lip as I took a deep breath, trying to analyze everything, but I couldn't, I don't really get it why did Celeste tell me that earlier. I mean, why do I feel like what she said had a deeper meaning than what I was expecting even if it's just a simple sentence?

“Argh! What the hell!” I shook my head from left to right.

"Be observant!" Until I heard a cold voice pass by to my ear swiftly. It’s just like a breeze of wind that suddenly passes quickly.
