The Four Elements

Element 43

/Rallen/

        I'm nervous... I'm nervous because day has passed and today is the grand ball. 

No, hindi ako sa grand ball kinakabahan.

Dark District...

Their plan is the day before the grand ball, right? And, why? Bakit hanggang ngayon, hindi pa'rin kami sinusugod? Kaya ako kinakabahan. Kasi baka pumasok ang iba sa party at doon magsimula ang gulo, mas marami ang madadamay, mas marami ang mamatay. I don't like wars, really. But I need to strengthen myself, for all of them, for all of us.

Kaya kung may plano mang sumugod ang Dark District ngayon, mas mabuti ng ihanda ko ang sarili ko. Kung kailangan kong ibuwis ang buhay ko, gagawin ko. At ngayon, ang tanging dapat gawin ko, ay balaan sila.

I am wearing a white gown right now as I run through Rhailenkhaniea's room door. I fasten up my speed to arrive as soon as I can.

"Rhailen, open the door." I said using my cold voice. After some minutes, the door opened and there, I saw Rhailen.

"What is it, Rallen?" she asked, looking so worried.

"Call for a meeting, as soon as possible."

Nasa meeting room kami ngayon, lahat kami, kahit ang guards at butlers.

"I knew an information about Dark District." I started. They were about to ask me questions when I stopped them. "Listen to me first, we are running out of time." I continued.

"Kahapon, nakaplano ng Dark District na sumulong sa Element District kaya kinakabahan ako. Maybe they will do it today so I'm telling you, sharpen your sight. Strengthen your powers. Mas palakasin niyo ang mga kutob niyo. Kung may kahina-hinala sa paligid niyo, report it to me. Using your watches, don't forget to wear your watch!" I said. They all nodded, Greya was about to ask me some question but she hesitated and didn't continue what was she about to say.

It's weird cause I can't read her mind now.

"What is it, Greya?" I asked, she shook her head so I just nodded.

Obviously, we can't enjoy the party because were busy keeping an eye at the surroundings. I told them to act naturaly and as if nothing will happen. I hope nothing would really happen, not today. More people are going to be involved.

"Ladies and gentleman, good evening. I'm right here in front of all of you to say a very important matter. Today is the right time to formally introduce, my sister, the Young Mistress. Let us all welcome, Greyalinkhaniea Jem Katrraine Helmmingjens. Together with her escort, Mister Chadryn Tredle Rock Instantino." Rhailenkhaniea said and all of the people are clapping their hands so I clapped mine, too. 

Even in this situation, I can't help but admire Tredle's respect towards Greya. She could have kissed her hand because it is also required but he didn't. He knew Greya won't be comfortable. Very well, good job Tredle.

Many performances and speeches happened including Greya who also gave her speech.

"As the second Crystal Element holder, I want you to know that I am going to fight for our district. No matter what happens. As you can see, Dark District is really the rival of all districts here and I must say they might plan for another war again. I just want to say that I am ready to face them and fight with them, together with my guild. The Future Element Holders, thank you and enjoy the night." she said and everyone clapped at her speech. She smiled a little bit but her smile vanished as she looked at something.

I looked at the direction she was looking when I saw an illusion of an owl. And the shiny thing was black.

It's from Dark District.

/Greya/

What the hell! It's an owl illusion from Dark District! What if someone noticed it? And might be hypnotised by the illusion?! That would be terrible!

As soon as I went down from the podium, I ran fastly but someone stopped me. It was Rallen, looking fiercely.

"Don't. It's a trap, don't fall over it." she told me. I was making myself calm a little bit and I nodded. I need to follow her, she know more than I do.

We were just waiting and waiting. Until all the guests are already away, they're already not here in the mansion. 

We heard a bang.

"Shit. It's starting, they're starting." Basing from Rallen's voice and reaction, I already know what she meant.

'Everyone, gather!' I said through my mind telepathy. 

'Greya, one of the guards is dead!' Desty said through the mind telepathy. 

'Calm down.' I heard Ice in the background.

'This couldn't happen, this should not be.' I told myself and shut off my mind telepathy. I need to be more careful and fast. I need to feel the movements of the surroundings. 

It's already starting, the war I don't want to be involved with.
