Lucky's POV

"Hey, Lucky! Time to get up! Mataas na ang araw, natutulog ka pa rin." Kumunot ang noo ko, at kahit nakapikit ay minasahe ko ito dahil sa sobrang sakit. Nang makilala ko kung kanino galing ang boses ay agad akong bumangon. When I opened my eyes, Zaphael showed up with a surprised look on his face.

"Zaphael? I-is that really you?" I asked in disbelief, and he was ready to answer, but I interrupted him and held him hard.

"Lucky? what is happening to you—"

"Zaphael! You're alive, Zaphael! Thank you, God! Please accept my sincere regrets, Zaphael! I apologize for the wrong decision I made and because of that I failed to save you—all of you! But don't worry, I'll do everything and give all I have this time to save you and prevent that catastrophe from happening!" wika ko habang humihikbi. My eyes were welling up with tears, but I ignored them and held Zaphael even more tightly.

"L-lucky? W-what are you doing?"

I was taken aback by his question and realized I was embracing him so closely that my tall breasts were touching his chest. I was ready to get away when Jorvina burst into the room and caught us in that awkward situation. I was surprised and unsure what to do, so I pushed Zaphael, causing him to fall into the bed.

I returned my gaze to Zaphael after looking at Jorvina. I noticed that his face was red, and even his ear was as red as a tomato.

"It's too early for the two of you to do something like that. Prepare yourself and go to the kitchen for breakfast before you lovey-dovey." I shook my head and wave my hands, senyales na mali ang iniisip niya. Magpapaliwanag na sana ako pero lumabas na siya ng kwarto.

"Hays! She gets the wrong idea." I murmured in the air, but Zaphael's gaze drew my attention. His face was significantly redder than usual. "Ahm... Zaphael...forgot what I said, okay—" instead of answering, I choked on my own saliva because of his response.

"Do you like me?" because of what he said, my lips parted, and when I recovered, I pushed him out of the room without hesitation.

"Is he insane? I? Does like him? Like him?! No way! There's no way I'm going to like him! Hindi nga kami magkasundo tapos maging magkasintahan pa? I never imagined we'd end up in such a relationship!" Napa-upo ako dahil hinihingal ako sa haba ng sinabi ko.

Pumikit ako at huminga ng malalim kasabay ng pagdilat ko ng mga mata.

"Okay, Lucky, relax. You should not be thinking about anything like that right now. You must avoid what occurred. You cannot allow such a catastrophe to occur again." I muttered to myself.

And in order to avert that catastrophe, I need to get to the bottom of it all.

Pumunta ako sa kusina para kumain pagkatapos kong mag-ayos ng sarili.

Nagbago ang isip ko dahil tahimik ang mesa habang kumakain kami. Tahimik si na Jorvina, Linglie, at Zaphael at tila may malalim na iniisip.

"My dream is just weird." Linglie was the one who broke the silence in the dining room.

"Weird? Dream? What kind of dream?" I asked, so she looked at me.

"Me too, my dream is weird." I was taken aback when Zaphael and Jorvina both stated it at the same moment, so I glanced at both of them.

"What did you dream about?" I asked curiously. I have an idea but it might be impossible.

"I DIED." Nang sabay nilang sabihin iyon, nanlaki ang mga mata ko. Kumunot ang noo nila at napakurap-kurap.

"You two also?" Jorvina asked and the two nodded.

"Are you as well, Lucky?" Zaphael asked me, so they looked at me.

"Ahm...I never dreamed of anything like that." I scratched my head and looked away. "By the way, isn't Dystria Island where the Ogres are sealed?"

"Yes, why did you ask?" si Linglie ang nag tanong. I cleared my throat because she gave me an examining look.

"Pwede niyo ba akong samahan doon?" Jorvina and Linglie exchanged glances in response to my question.

If I'm not wrong, we landed in Catrus Land only yesterday. Because yesterday was Saturday, and I still have seven days until what I fear would happen. I must prevent the Ogres from escaping. But, come to think of it, the Ogres cannot be freed unless someone removes or invalidates the seal Erra and Noah created.

If I go to Dystria Island before the Ogres are released, I might be able to figure out who's behind it all. I need to know who my opponent is so that I may prepare for him/her and be prepared if similar scenarios arise in the future. I cannot possibly live the rest of my life only on the power of Libra. That, too, has a limit, therefore I have to be careful in making decisions so that I won't come to regret in the end.

"Lucky? Are you still there?" nang sabihin iyon ni Zaphael, I snapped back to reality and glanced up at them.

"Huh? Are you saying something?"

"You are not on your own. You alright? Aren't you asking if we can accompany you to Dystria Island?" I nodded.

Napalalim pala ng iniisip ko kaya nakalimutan ko. Focus, Lucky! Focus!

"That's why Linglie asked why you wanted to visit Dystria Island." I agreed by nodding. Gusto kong sabihin na gusto kong pumunta doon para iligtas ang buhay nila, pero hindi ko magawa. According to the regulations that Virgo previously told me, it is prohibited to share what happened after returning to the past since Libra's power may become invalid. As a result, I have no choice but to keep everything hidden from them. I also keep the fact that I am a Celestial Guardian after all.

"How should I say this? It's like that, I know it's hard to believe, but in my dream, the Ogres got away, and I don't want it to happen." Nagpalitan ng tingin sina Zaphael, Linglie, at Jorvina. Bumagsak ang aking mga balikat dahil sa kanilang pagtataka.

Please! Just this time, believe me! Just this once!

"Okay, we'll go to Dystria Island later. Your dream is strange, yet there might be a reason behind it. Perhaps it was similar to our time in Atlantis Kingdom."

Nakahinga ako ng maluwag nang pumayag sila at hindi na nagtanong pa. Sinilip ko si Zaphael dahil tumahimik siya at parang may malalim na iniisip.

I also noticed his stressful face darkening somewhat beneath his eyes, as if he was going through something. I'd like to ask a question, but it's not the right time because we need to get through the events here first.

To be continued...
