Tahimik sa silid. Only our breathings are heard. Our sighs of regret. Napatingin ako kay Cross seated across me. Nakatukod ang dalawa niyang siko sa kanyang tuhod habang nakayuko. I know he was affected by the event earlier. Flux is his stepbrother after all.
Napahilamos ako sa aking mukha and stood up dahilan para mapatingin silang lahat sa'kin. I was about to say something when Ares spoke.
"The war is starting." Napatingin kaming lahat sa kanya.
"What do you mean, Res?"
"Look at that." Lumapit kaming lahat sa bintana at totoo nga ang sinabi ni Ares. Hundreds or even thousands of armed soldiers are marching towards the forest kung nasaan ang mga sundalo ng Oregon. I felt my knees wobble nang makita ko kung sino ang nangunguna doon. Kriven, riding his horse sakay ang bangkay ni Flux.
