Me and fruit were only the ones who manage to get out of the history book. We hope that the other members of the protectors get a magic item to key to the “Golden Scroll”.
All of us except for Silent were able to resist the Winkies. He always wants to touch beautiful items. He is an artist. There are different version of Winkies. One Winkies have the description of the Omoron fruit. He said, “This looks like the Omoron fruit described by Mariefe. How come this is here?” Before he eventually died he told us to look for a certain babaylan “sorcerer” to reanimate him when he dies. It was really a sad story.
“Foolish you. You are a glutton.”, said by Lie. Even when he (Silent) eats many, he doesn’t get fat. “Let us say each of our last words for Silent.”, Snake said. Everyone sobbing like we lost our parent. “My sister really loves you. He is just waiting the right time to give you her answer.”, Angel said. Lead remarked, “I know that you deserve to be a Protector. You were able to perfect the Values test where I only manage to have a passing mark. I envy you on this.” “What can I say?”, Bear says. He only cried and cannot say much words. “You are a dear buddy. You motivate me when I am down…”, Psyche said. Magic said, “I always pray for our team:
Lord, we don’t want to be alone. Thanks to Protectors.
Lord, lead us to good people.
Lord, please lead us to you.
Lord, let us recognize you in the works of others.
Let us love you and my fellow Protectors.
Lord, in this overpopulated world, I hope we could find real friends. Protectors.
Lord, we want to learn your ways so we can attract good people into my life.
We want to change our lives and lives of others as well.
Lord, we want to belong in your company.
Lord, please give us meaning to our lives.
Amen.”
As for me, “You are a dear person. Beyond this noisy world, I know that there is a place of you. You will be in our hearts. We will finish this quest.”
We directly went to the lake. Also hoping to find Victor. On our way, we encountered first manananggals, old mythical creatures in the Philippines that separates from their lower part of body and their fangs and wings give it a vampire-like appearance.
We fought bravely we dedicate it to Silent. We want to finish this mission as soon as possible. This day was a bit hard and tiring. Then we camp. “Lie, Angel, Snake and I will take turns in care of guarding this night. Tomorrow will be others.”, said by Lead. Lead took the first shift, 10 PM to 12 MN.” The others are sleeping soundly because of tiredness.
Snake, It is your turn. Snake were half asleep when Lead woke him. He did not dream when he slept. He had a premonition that Victor is already dead. He told Lead about his premonition.
“You are kidding right?”, “That is insensible.” “Victor is very wise and very strong compared to us. How could he just be beaten like that?”, Lead said to Snake. “We will prove you wrong. After that Silent left, now it is Victor.”, Lead said. “You know that my premonitions are always right. It was never wrong. I can dream the future.”, Snake said. “Sleep again perhaps your dream might change..”, Lead requested. Lead took the shift of Snake. Snake drank a sleeping pill.
“Lie, wake up. It is your turn to guard.”, Lead said. “Why are you the one guarding? It was supposed to be Snake.”, “Is there a problem?”, Lie said. “No, there isn’t!”, Lead said. “You know that I can detect lies miles from here.”, Lie said. “Besides, you are not a good liar.”, Lie said. “Tell me what happened.”, she added. “Let us wait for the story of Snake.”, Lead said. “Now you sleep, you need it.”, Lie said.
“Angel, wake up.”, “It is you turn.”, Lie said. There were no problems also during her shift.
Angel all wake us up. This is the time we continue our quest. We headed to the lake of dreams. There are sea monsters. Evil shokoys and sirenas were many. Little that we know, we are still dreaming. Psyche summoned a mirror entity but it doesn’t work. Psyche cannot summon creatures through dreams. “Elemento, you must turn in to waking chemical.”, Lead said. I did what was ordered. I turned to a very smelly chemical. Everyone woke up.
We thought it was a genjutsu (reading too much manga). We headed to the lake of dreams. There we see Victor. Victor was lifeless. “Animate!”, the biggest monster said. Victor was like a zombie now. We stayed together and fought together. We first beat the smaller monsters. They are half animals and half humans and some were zombies.
Angel uses flight and strength.
Lie uses hypnosis.
Snake uses quickness.
Lead uses matter manipulation.
Bear uses the strength of a bear and other animals.
Psyche uses summons.
Magic cast spells.
Me, Elemento uses the power of chemistry and its elements.
Fruit uses his strength and wisdom.
We defeated the smaller monsters easily. Now it is time to face the biggest monster. He summons creatures still. “Angel and Elemento, attack the head.”, “Psyche and Magic, attack the body.” “The rest attack the legs and feet.”, Lead commanded. We attacked for few hours and the monster keeps regenerating. Victor said attack me. Snake seconded. It is a soul bound or soul trade.
“Lightning bolt!”, Magic casts it. It was a painful event. The biggest monster now turned to the “Golden Scroll.” Victor releases a white sword. Angel touched the sword but can’t pick it up. It turned into sand then back to sword again. Lie touched it too but can’t pick it up. It turned into water then back to sword again. “Let me do it.”, I, Elemento said.
I was able to use the sword. “Sigh. Sigh. Sigh. Sigh. Sigh.”, I said. I returned back to History office together with Fruit.
