[BEFORE ESMERAY, ELON AND IVAR MET]

"Elon, let's go back to the room." Mabilis naman agad tinulak ni Elon ang wheelchair matapos umalis ni Priest Sabino sa silid.

"Continue healing the children." Bilin pa ni Ivar bago sila tuluyang makaalis sa silid.

Pag pasok nila ay ganoon na lang ang gulat ni Elon dahil bigla niyang nakita na tumayo si Ivar sa kanyang wheelchair.

"My Prince?"

Nabaling ang tingin ni Ivar kay Elon at nakalimutan niya na hindi pala nito alam na nakakalakad talaga siya dahil napagaling siya ng Tower Master.

"The Tower Master fixed my legs." Sabi lang ni Ivar. Bigla naman ngumiti si Elon.

"My Prince can walk now." Napailing na lamang si Ivar at nakita niyang bumukas ang pinto at agad na pumasok ang dalawang taga silbi sa templo.

Nagulat sila kay Ivar dahil nakita nila itong nakatayo kaya naman ay ginamit iyon ni Ivar upang sugurin ang dalawa at patulugin ang mga ito sa suntok.

"Shit! This body is really weak." In the past when he was still Patrio, he could punch a big hole on the ground, but now with his new body, he can't even punch them properly.

"My Prince, this is an improvement!" Hindi alam ni Ivar kung matutuwa siya o maiinsulto sa sinabi ni Priest Elon.

Nagulat si Ivar dahil bigla nalang siyang nakakita ng bata na nakatayo sa pinto, nag aalala siya na nakita nito ang pagsuntok niya sa dalawang lalaki at maisip na tama ang kanyang nakita.

"Child, you should not do what I did to these guys." Hindi nagsalita ang bata, nag taas ito ng kamay at itinuro ang sahig.

"Basement. Children. Need help. Help. Help." Biglang tumakbo ang bata kaya naman ay nagmadaling mag bihis si Ivar para sundan ang bata.

"Child! Wait!" Nagtaka naman si Priest Elon dahil kanina niya pa ito napapansin na may kausap na bata pero wala naman siyang nakikita.

"My Prince, I think you're hallucinating. I can't see the child you're talking to."

"Oh shut it! Let's go!"

--------------------------

"That's it?" Esmeray asked Elon.

They are currently walking around the maze again to find the right way and even leaving a trace so that they will know how to get down again and find all the bones and body. The baby is now floating inside the shield using Elon's Holy Power.

"Yes, I was just happy that our Prince can walk now." Sagot naman ni Elon.

"Well I'm not happy. He's always doing some dangerous and crazy plans like right now. He hasn't changed at all even though he doesn't remember or has no memories of his past." Bulong ni Esmeray kay Elon.

"I can hear you loud and clear." Esmeray and Elon zipped their mouths.

'dangerous and crazy plan? Hindi ko pa pala nakakausap sila Esmeray at Elon tungkol sa nakaraan ng totoong Ivar' Tinignan ni Ivar ang dalawa na nasa unahan niya.

"My Prince, we found the right way and-" Mabilis na lumapit si Ivar sa kinatatayuan ni Esmeray at agad na umupo sa wheelchair na tinabi nila Elon kanina.

"My Prince, you can't walk again?" Ngumiti sila Elon at Esmeray.

"You didn't saw anything, I can't walk since the day I woke up after sleeping for a long time." Tumango lang naman sila Elon at Esmeray sa kanya at agad na tinulak ni Esmeray ang wheelchair papunta sa kung saan nakaratay ang mga bata na ginagamot ng mga priest.

Nasa hallway pa lang sila ay rinig na agad ang mga boses galing sa silid.

"What are you doing here Mage? This place is not for you! Leave!"

"Priest Sabino, the Tower Master came here together with the High Priests to help, forget about your beliefs right now. We need to heal the children first."

"This is why the God of Light temple has no believer, because you treat mages as your friends and trust them!" 

Naging tahimik ang lahat at sakto naman na dumating sila Ivar at hindi naman sila napansin dahil ang lahat ay nakatingin kay Priest Sabino.

"Are you saying that the god I followed and served has no follower because the Kingdom of Ohr trusted a mage and build a Magic Tower for them?" All of them bowed their heads except for Priest Sabino who was looking at the baby inside Priest Elon's Holy Power.

"Priest Sabino from the temple of the God of Stars, you are under arrest." Tinignan ni Ivar ang Tower Master. "Tower Master, teleport this Priest to the main palace and wait for my return. Also, bring this baby with you and feed her." The Tower Master bowed down and started to create a portal.

"Then, I will wait for you at the main palace, Your Highness." Natahimik ang lahat matapos magsara ang portal at nakatingin ang lahat kay Ivar.

"Stop wasting your time and start healing the children."

Ang mga bagong dating na High Priest ay agad naman na nagsimulang gamitin ang kanilang Holy Power at tumulong na din ang ibang Priest.

"My Prince, what about asking the High Priest from the God of Stars temple." Tinignan ni Ivar si Esmeray.

"Do you still trust the priests from the God of Stars temple?" Sa sinabi ni Ivar ay agad na napaisip si Esmeray dahil sa matagal na niyang napapansin.

"My Prince, since the day that I started serving you as my master, I realized that you really hate the priests from the God of Stars temple." Si Ivar naman ngayon ang napaisip. He's thinking about the connection of Prince Ivar's hate towards the God of Stars temple and to what will happen in the future.

"Your Highness, the amount of Holy Power from High Priests is working well." Tumango lamang si Ivar kay Priest Elon at agad na napatingin sa portal na biglang bumukas at lumabas doon ang second Prince ng Empire.

"Prince Dillon? What are you doing here? This place is dangerous because of the virus that's currently spreading." Hindi na nagulat si Ivar na lumuhod si Dillon at hinalikan nito ang likod ng palad ni Ivar.

"This temple is under the Empire, my Prince. I'm here to help." Tinignan ni Ivar si Dillon at agad na kumulo ang dugo niya dahil sa sinabi nito.

"Yes, this temple is under the Pelia Empire. You want to help? Then bring your knights and lead them to the temple's underground and clean your mess." Sa inis ni Ivar ay nasabi niya iyon na kinagulat naman ni Dillon.

"Esmeray, let's go back to my room."

"Yes, my Prince." Tinulak ni Esmeray ang wheelchair papunta sa silid ni Ivar.

Habang papunta sa silid ay napansin ni Ivar ang mga kabataan na naglalaro sa hallway. Nagtatakbuhan ang mga ito at nagtatawanan, masasaya ang kanilang mukha at walang mababakas na paghihirap. Bigla niyang naalala ang mga kalansay sa underground at mga katawan na sariwa pa, pati na rin ang sanggol kanina.

Habang naalala niya iyon ay mas lalong umiinit ang ulo ni Ivar sa God of Stars Temple at sa Pelia Empire. Marami siyang naiisip sa ngayon na hindi niya mabigyan ng boses hanggang sa wala pa siyang napapatunayan sa tagasunod ng God of Stars.

"My Prince, this is Priest Sabino's room." Natauhan si Ivar at agad na tinignan ang pinto.

"What are we doing here?"

"What else? We need more evidence, my Prince." Hindi na naghintay si Esmeray kay Ivar at agad na binuksan ang pinto.

Bumungad sa kanila ang mabahong kwarto at mga langaw na nagsisiliparan. Ilang sandali pa ay nakarinig sila ng mahinang iyak at agad naman na nilapitan ni Esmeray ang mahabang kurtina sa likod ng upuan ni Priest Sabino.

"Shit! My Prince, there's a child here!"
