Sky slowly got up from where she was seating. Napalunok siya. She was, too, in deep breaths. Kinakalma ang sarili, pinipilit na huwag masuka.

She summoned her katana and held it with both hands firmly. Then, with slow and steady steps, she walked towards the coffin in the middle.

She stopped when she was just inches away from it. Her line of sight was at faraway. She don't really like looking at a dead body, for for some reason, it scares her.

Because her line of sight was at faraway where there can be seen the hundreds of dead bodies— The sight really was unbearable to look at. She can't stare at it furthermore. Kaya naman, pinili niya na lang ituon ang tingin sa kung anong nasa harapan niya... How she wish she have not.

Napasinghap siya. Nanghina ang mga tuhod niya, dahilan upang mawalan siya ng balanse at maupo sa sahig. Dumaloy sa mga pisngi niya ang mga luha. Nanginig ang buong katawan niya.

Shocked, disbelief, fear, anger, grief... Naghalo-halo ang kaniyang mga emosyon, sa puntong tila sasabog na siya sapagkat nag-uumapaw na.

She started sobbing uncontrollably. She could not believe what, or rather who she has seen inside that coffin...

Skylar? Skylar, do you hear me? Skylar!

She heard Lonan's voice in her mind. He was talking to her through mind-link.

Lonan and Iro were frantic in the hallway. Skylar just vanished and was nowhere to be seen on sight... again.

Lonan tried to reach Sky through mind-link, but she just won't answer.

It took a while before she finally did...

We're late.

Lonan's body went rigid.

At the same time, he have come face to face with himself. Well, his past self.

Both the past and future Iro cursed at the same time seeing one another.

While Blue was confused but at the same time, in awe.

Past Lonan suddenly remembered of the latter so he have her summoned to the nearest town, to keep her safe.

The hall was then quiet with just four figures in deep breaths.

All of a sudden, the ground started to shake.

Right, it's Doomsday.

— a Riddlestory —

Sabay-sabay na napahawak sa kanilang dibdib ang apat.

The two Iros couldn't contain themselves anymore. The pain was unbearable, they had to shout it all out to try to ease it. Unfortunately, it was of no use.

Nawalan na rin ng balanse ang dalawa dahil patuloy pa rin ang paggalaw ng lupa. They both fell to the ground, clutching their tightening chests.

The two Lonans, meanwhile, managed to maintain their balance. But both were, too, clutching their tightening chests. Beads of sweat ran down their faces and their eyes were tightly closed.

This was the effect of having two existences exist at the same time at the same place.

Pain. Excruciating pain. Starting from the chest, it then spreads to the neck, jaw, back, up until the entire body. It's as if you're having a heart attack. There'll be also difficulty in breathing, dizziness, nausea, cold sweats and coughs. The mind is also affected, you won't be able to think clearly. All that'll be in your mind is the pain. Pain. Pain. Too much pain.
