The Kingdom of Guhya CHAPTER 28
"Shut up," I dismiss him by pushing him to the side so I can get inside the room."Oh my God! I'm not ready for it, lady," he banters as he crosses his arms in his shoulders, as if protecting himself from me. I roam around the room."Where's Jax?" Once again, I dismiss him."His name is Lorde," he insists."Whatever. Where is he?" I ask again."They are all watching over Damon," he explains. I sigh in irritation. I feel Ethan staring at me, so I raise my eyebrow at him."What?"He shyly smiles, "I'm just thankful and feel sorry.""For what?""I heard you were punched for failing to protect us," Ethan explains."It's weird, though. Rumors say that we were attacked by those men, and you saved us. But the truth is you were there to help us escape," Ethan adds. I give him a sharp look."You better shut your mouth," I warn."It's true. The rumors say Thania punched you because Damon was stabbed and you failed to protect him," Ethan added. His words made me stop. Does Thania believe I was t

"This world is surely different," Kate interjects."For all we know, one of you might have cut Grace's head off," she adds.The atmosphere grows tense as the lady utters those words, casting a dark aura around us. I sense the frustration boiling within Blair and Alhyssa, but Thania remains stoic, her gaze fixed coldly on the students."I don't appreciate your sharp tongue," Blair says."What awaits us when we leave the gate of this school?" Quinn interrupts before the girls can argue."If you are lucky, you will be able to return to your world. But our wish is for silence in whatever you have encountered here," Alhyssa replies."What is the other possibility that awaits us?" This time, Beauty asks out of nowhere."Death." No one speaks. It seems like everyone is scared by what Alhyssa said. Even from a distance, I can see the heaviness of their breaths."No, we're not leaving until Damon's condition improves. He is still in bad shape, so we can't go," Beauty av interrupts."Do we stil

There is a distinct disparity in their behaviors, mannerisms, and even their aura. Jax has always been known for his carefree and caring nature, while Lorde carries himself with an air of seriousness and discipline. The way he speaks, and the way he interacts with others, it is as if we are dealing with a completely different person. We cannot ignore this stark contrast that makes us question whether he truly is Jax or someone else entirely."Someone else? Don't be foolish, Alhyssa!" Her mother snaps her back.Alhyssa's heart sinks as she realizes her mother will not believe her.Slowly, I gather my thoughts and muster the courage to speak up against the president. "President, please listen to me. It was not Alhyssa's fault. And…Jax had never betrayed us. There must be something more to all of this."President Maria's eyes narrow, filled with suspicion and anger. "You expect me to believe your delusions? Enough of your lies, Venice!"A mixture of frustration and sadness washed over me

Quinn's StandpointOur footsteps feel heavy as we make our way through a complex passage. As we navigate through the dimly lit hallways, the faces of men in black come into view, displaying an array of emotions—from regret to rage, sadness to resignation—occupying every cell we pass. The oppressive space is a contrast to the vastness of the world outside, where freedom dances beyond reach. The persistent noise leaking from within each cell forms an invisible barrier, reminding us of the loneliness that awaits us.As we reach the end of the corridor, we are forcefully shoved by the aylwards, outwardly indifferent to our dilemma. We are thrown off balance by the push. Lorde, emotionless, looks at the man who pushes Beauty as if he is ripping his soul out. The aylward takes a step back, releasing eye contact. Anger boils within us, fueled by the situation we are currently in."What now? Are you just going to let them lock us up here? Well, not me. I'll escape from here even if it means r
The Kingdom of Guhya CHAPTER 32
Living in the cell feels like an eternity, and every moment drags on with agonizing slowness. The lack of motivation and the monotony of the surroundings intensify the feeling of time stretching out endlessly. With no windows to mark the passing days and only the dim flickering light bulb above us as a source of light, it is easy to lose track of time and become consumed by the sense of ever-present confinement.Even though we have no concept of time, we can tell it is already noon based on the meals served to us. It is our third day in the cell, and for three consecutive days, we have been waiting for the Valencias' promise to find a way for us to return to the world of mortals. Our hopes hinge on their ability to fulfill their word, but with each passing moment, doubt begins to gnaw at us. We wonder if their assurances are merely empty promises and if we are destined to remain trapped in this isolated world indefinitely. But that is the only thing that we are holding onto right now.
The Kingdom of Guhya CHAPTER 33
We become even more determined to find the truth because we know that only by finding the person responsible for everything would Lorde's name be cleared. And so, we embark on a conversation filled with twists and turns, unraveling the intricate web of deceit and betrayal that had entangled Lorde's fate."You often find me gone because I'm looking for Matt," Lorde begins. This might be the very first explanation he has ever given in her entire life. Even though he feels wronged, he just lets it be. But now, he is finally explaining himself. And I believe it is because that is how important Beauty is to her.Beauty is confused by his explanation, "You're talking nonsense."Lorde pauses for a moment, trying to gather his thoughts before continuing."I understand that it might sound crazy or confusing to you, but let me try to make it clearer," he says with a sound of plea in his voice. "Matt is alive. He's somewhere and I can't simply ignore that fact."I am struck speechless by what Lo

Nevertheless, she remains unfazed. The enemies carry long weapons, while I can only see pins flying from her hands, striking her enemies. With incredible agility and precision, she expertly dodges every strike, moving in sync with her opponents' movements. Despite her diminutive weapon, each well-placed strike of her pins proves to be devastating. The pins pierce through, finding the weak points of her opponents one by one.With the strong thrust of her pin, she knocks down the final opponent. She walks toward our cell slowly, and shortly after, she stands in front of us. Before us stands the strongest Valencia – Thania. Her presence commands respect and awe. Her eyes are filled with coldness and no hint of weariness from the intense battle. It is evident that she has fought countless battles before, honing her skills to perfection. As she stands before us, her dark energy seems to radiate, leaving us speechless.She looks at us suspiciously. Her sharp eyes seem to read every movement

Our hearts pound in our chests as we watch the president's expression closely, searching for any sign of what the outcome might be. Time seems to stand still, each passing second feeling like an eternity as the president carefully examines the contents. We hold our breath, our hopes and fears intertwined. The room is filled with tension as if the weight of the decision hangs in the air, and I cannot help but feel the weight of the moment, knowing that our fate lies in those pieces of paper. But because Max is the one who handed over the folder, a big part of us loses hope and accepts our painful fate.After reviewing the paper, President Maria inspects each one of us, and later sighs and slightly shakes her head. Without hesitation, she utters words that bring us immense relief."I'm sorry for doubting you. Release them," she says. These words are clear instructions, showing that we are no longer in trouble. So, with that, we feel relieved. I look at Blair, who seems equally surprised

His powerful punches and flawless kicks overpower his opponent at every turn. We are simply amazed by the display of his abilities. This makes me wonder how he got injured while they were escaping. Then I remember Beauty once said it was because he was protecting them. With a single decisive blow, he seals his triumph, emerging as the undeniable champion of the match.The final fight is between Lorde and Xhyee. Xhyee's face reveals concern about their fight. It is clear to me who will win between the two of them. However, I think Thania intentionally does this to test Lorde if she is capable of hurting a weak woman in the name of success. This is a serious test, in my opinion.It is an unexpected matchup, a fight between a weak lady and a strong gentleman. The crowd gathers in anticipation, curious to witness how this peculiar challenge will unfold. Xhyee stands shyly in the center of the ring. Facing her is Lorde while standing in between them is Alhyssa who is confused as to why the

Without any warning, they immediately step onto the stage floor.As Alhyssa signals the start of the match, they both jump into action.Kate attacks with a display of arrogance, launching a flurry of high-speed kicks, each executed with gusto. She is determined to swiftly overpower Beauty, underestimating her skills. With her prowess and speed, Kate almost topples Beauty, gaining the upper hand. Beauty, however, remains calm and unbothered, focusing on reading Kate's movements. She steadily maneuvers around Kate's attacks, her defense impenetrable, as she carefully assesses Kate's fighting style."I will kill you," Kate utters as she struggles to bring Beauty down.As the fight escalates, Kate's overconfidence causes her to become reckless. Confident that she will win, she exposes the openings in his defense, giving Beauty a chance to get even. In a quick, calculated counterattack, Beauty rained down a flurry of kicks and punches, showing her ability especially when it comes to talkin

The days go by quickly, and I rarely see Thania. She is busy gathering information about the spies lurking around the school and investigating the killings that have occurred inside.I am currently lost in thought on the rooftop of the classroom building when I hear a rustling sound from behind me. I look back and immediately notice Quinn stumbling from his standing position. I rush over to him."Hey, are you OK?" I ask, supporting him. He nods while showing signs of dizziness."I just came back from the world of humans," he says, as I had expected."Thank goodness I am brought back here with you," he adds, surprising me.I quickly recover and speak, "Well, that's a good thing because if anyone else saw you, you would be in danger."When he seems to have recovered from his dizziness, I let go of him. I turn around and go back to my contemplation. He follows me and sits next to me."I've been looking for you for a long time, Blair," he says, surprising me. My eyebrows raise in disbelie

I do not know the reason, but I feel fear in Lorde's presence. He is too cold compared to Jax who, though serious, has a playful aura."You're now dismissed," Alhyssa says. Without a word, Thania stands up and leaves the room. We wait for Quinn to leave before following. I am the last one to leave, so I close the door. When we get out of the elevator, we stop, and we see Grams and Pops. Grams has a pout on her face while sadness is evident on Pops' face."You go ahead," Venice tells Quinn, who immediately refuses. "We'll come with you. They're our companions," Quinn says. We do not say anything, just nod. Grams and Pops approach us while Quinn stands by our side."Grams! Pops! Why do you look sad?" Alhyssa asks as they approach."Is it true? Did another student die?" Pops asks as a follow-up question."Yes, Pops. That's why we're going to see them," Alhyssa answers."That's probably why Thania didn't even look back when we called her. She's probably angry again about what's happening.

Blair's Standpoint"Yes," I confirm. They are all silent, and shock is plastered on their faces, except for Thania who always discovers things first."Did you become friends? As I remember, we were ten years old when you had surgery, Quinn, and we visited you. We do not see a child," Ethan asks with a tone of doubt."Although, she looks familiar. She's the girl you look at on the cellphone before Matt drowns, right? We even mistake you for a pedophile," explains Ethan who also cannot believe everything that happens. Quinn looks at me slightly as if his eyes are signaling something."We only meet twice. First, when her grandmother donates blood to me. Second…" Quinn stops abruptly. At the same time, I look back on the past.#I played quietly in the playground of the human world. After the war in Guhya, my parents sent me away to the human world to save myself from the war. There I was with my grandmother who lived in the real world despite being a Dji. Because she believed that we wer

We are even more shocked when Alhyssa flies backward because of Lorde's kick. Although Alhyssa is thrown, she recovers easily. She points her weapon at us again."Who is he?" Alhyssa asks out loud, perhaps shocked by what is happening. Thania comes closer and gets between us, so Alhyssa quickly withdraws the weapon."Thania, what are you doing?" She asks a confused question.Thania is silent at Alhyssa's question, and she turns to us."Load him and follow us. Venice, Blair, stay here," commands Thania.Before she can turn around completely, Blair stops her."I'll go with you," Blair almost shouts out of panic. Thania does not answer so we follow her and so does Blair. Ethan immediately loads him with our help. We board the subway train in silence. We feel each other silently. We easily reach the forest and as usual, Thania kneels and touches the ground, causing the dimension to open and the gate to appear. We quickly enter and follow them to the Administration Building. After a while,

"Beau?" They ask in chorus."Trust me this time," I say without looking at them and continue with my pace."Are you sure about this?" Damon asks as he grabs my hand. I look at him intently and nod, our hands still holding each other."I think I know the way," I say as I look at them one by one. "How?" This time, surprisingly, Lorde asks."I see it in my vision. I think I've been here before," I say, and they all furrow their brows."What are you saying, Beau?" Ethan asks, not able to believe what I just said."I don't know, Ethan, but you have to trust me in this," I demand. Despite their doubt, they follow me, and we rush in the direction I point out. With all the twists and turns, I find the path to the exit without hitting dead ends solely based on my memory. But with each passing moment, it feels like we are just going back and forth the same way."Beau, I think your vision is wrong," Quinn finally butts in again."No, we're almost there," I say, trying to defend myself."Beau, yo

We placed next to Max who has been constantly in the first place. The last round became difficult. I feel my vision blacking out and I am about to pass out. Even so, we remain at our place."Are you well, Beau?" Ethan asks, shouting from the side.I bob. My vision is turning around at a breakneck speed. One more step, and everything goes black. I wake up to the bumpy feeling and realize Damon is loading me on his back, while Ethan, Quinn, and Lorde are holding my back and cheering Damon on as they run at the same pace. I watch the finish line, and eight students are already there, while we are about twelve meters away. We continue and in a few minutes, we finish the race."Mr. Han, is that allowed?" One of our classmates asked about Damon's choice of loading me on his back."Race is about reaching the finish line, so that's technically acceptable," Mr. Han replies smiling. The race finished with the five of us being accepted. I also noticed Sachz finishing the race, her being in fifte

Things move quickly and two weeks pass with the whole school being quiet. The students are full of excitement for the upcoming ten selections that will be held two days from now. According to them, the chosen ten rarely happens in a century. Also, we hear that it is fun to be part of the chosen ten because they are given special privileges at school. Because of this, we have also become interested in the said selection, hoping that this will be the way to get out of here. However, no one has mentioned the specific way in which the students will fight, leaving everyone unprepared for the impending battle.I am walking down the hallway when I hear someone yelling from one side. I recognize it as Kate and her two friends."Kate, are you going crazy? Why are you fighting us?" asks one of his friends who is annoyed. She is shocked when Kate pushes her, just enough to make her step backward."Because you betrayed me," Kate shouts."What are you talking about, Kate?" Kate's friends are confu
