“They say that before the rise of demons and gods, the world was once ruled by ancient entities that were now erased by time.”
-LoreOfTheGods, translated by Professor Knightley

Kalmadong naglakad si Leona palapit sa pamilyar na mga taong puno ng antisipasyong nakatingin sa kanya.

Seeing her calm yet cold eyes, Lihanna unconsciously took a few steps back.

With a wave of Leona’s hand, a divine light shone upon everyone, and in an instant, they recovered. Even those on the brink of death were pulled back from the clutches of death.

Cornelius and Alfonse rushed to check on Damon and Asher. Both their physical injuries were gone, but there’s no sign of them waking up soon.

“Don’t worry, they will be okay. I wouldn’t have been able to save them if I was any minute late.” Saad ni Leona

“Why aren’t they waking up?” Tanong ni Cornelius

“I reverse the hands of time for the two of them in order to bring them back. Their bodies returned to it’s previous state before they were fatally injured, but their souls need some time to recover.” Paliwanag ni Leona

Lihanna finally recovered from her momentary shock, she smiled to hide her true emotions.

“Long time no see big sister.” Bati ni Lihanna habang may plastik na ngiti sa labi.

Leona smiled back, “Lalo kang pumanget. Were you stressed?”

Lihanna felt an immense amount of anger upon seeing Leona’s sickeningly sweet smile.

“You’re the hideous one!” Ganti ni Lihanna

“Excuse me, I’m not a mirror.” Leona answered with a kind smile

“How dare you!” Lihanna

Everyone almost forgotten that they were just on the brink of death a few moments ago. The tense and heavy atmosphere changed. They were seeing Lihanna as a death reaper just a few moments ago. But somehow, having Leona around made Lihanna look like a joke now.

Hindi maunawaan ni Lihanna kung bakit tila napakakalmado ni Leona. Hindi ba nito naiintindihan ang sitwasyon? She’s very strong now. She can kill who ever she wants. Isn’t she threatening enough?

“Don’t you get it Big Sister? I can kill you right now!”

“I doubt that.” Nakangiting tugon ni Leona

“Didn’t you see what I did to everyone? I almost had them! If you didn’t butt in I would have—”

“If I didn’t stepped in, I might have killed you now. You should thank your lucky stars that Damon and Asher didn’t die.” Malamig na sabat ni Leona

Lihanna isn’t convinced. But she can’t seem to refute her words. Pero impusible! Mas malakas na sya dapat ngayon kay Leona! Kayaa bakit tila ba natatakot sya dito?

“You seem to be having fun here, Lihanna.” Saad ni Leona

“But something feels off. Why do you seem demonic? And I meant that literally.” Curious na tanong ni Leona
