“Señor (Sir) calm down. You are scaring the pupils. Let me take you to the admin office and sort this out.” Trish tried to keep her appearance calm. However, inside she felt an awakening had happened. Her hormones were on edge. She felt a pull towards Sambag which wasn’t there before. Sure, they see each other daily but she felt nothing for him.
“How… can I relax? I need answers.” Sambag was still in outrage and was shouting inside the class. The other adjacent classes had stopped and everyone was trying to peek into the room. They were curious what was happening. Heads and eyes were popping up in every corner. It seems their curiosity had peaked.
“Señor Sambag, my apologies. Can you take a second to breath and let us try again?” This time it was King Pat who attempted to calm him down. Sambag or Leo looked at him. A lost puppy kind of face was very visible to Trish.
“Try again what?” It seemed King Pat was able to get Sambag's attention and calmed him. Sambag looked at him as if he said something worth a bag of gold.
“You should calm yourself first. Start by doing three deep breaths. I will try prepare you for teleportation.” King Pat instructed him. Trish knew what he was doing. He was not doing a teleportation but was deceiving him to calm him down.
“I am calm. Now what?” Sambag was acting different. He wasn’t calling King Pat with honorifics or by his title. “You should address him as Teacher Pat or King Pat, Sambag.” Trish reminded him.
Looking shocked at the mention of King, Sambag's eyes became bulging orbs unlike before you can barely identify it. There was just a small thin line between his eyelids. “King? Him?” Sambag pointed at King Pat and questioned Trish. Everyone who saw and heard him gasped. No one had disrespected King Pat yet, here was Sambag.
“Yes, he is a king. Not just any king. More importantly he is your King.” Trish said this with great emphasis on your king.
King Pat suddenly grabbed Trish and Edith outside of the room, leaving the diwata in front of him as in charge.
“My love, we have a situation inside.” King Pat said nervously to Edith who had been watching from inside the room the entire time.
“What kind of problem?” Edith knew something was wrong but with the pregnancy dampening her senses she could not point it out.
“You see, I think I made a mistake during my teleportation demonstration. You see, I am starting to believe that is not Sambag at all. Look at him, his expression. It is very different. Sambag is a jolly tayho and is very respectful to everyone. The one standing in front has no manner, ill-tempered and don’t respect anyone.” King Pat explained, while Queen Edith nodded.
“Are you saying that someone is inside Sambag? Like a possession?” This time Queen Edith's curiosity was adamant.
“That might be possible. I have observed the same thing with Sambag. Let’s be honest, Pat here is no expert in teleportation yet.” Trish tried to insert herself into the conversation. She did not care if there are pupils and teachers watching them. She just wanted to be beside Sambag for some reason.
“Then if you two are convinced of this, let us bring him to Anita. Maybe she can help us. But for now, mi amor, (my love) can you help me go to the clinic?” Queen Edith asked cutely from her husband. Even though she is not feeling well she was able to give a cute smile.
“Trish please take over here. I will be back as soon as possible.” King Pat said and took Queen Edith's hand to help her walk to the clinic.
Trish on the other hand, walked back in to get the diwatas to wait for King Pat and drag Sambag or whoever he was to Anita. Luckily, Anita was also in the school today.
Trish took a deep breath before she spoke to the class. “Alright, everyone please be quiet and stay here. King Pat just took Queen Edith to the clinic. He will be back to finish his lesson afterwards. Señor, kindly follow me. We will figure out what happened to you very soon.” Trish said full of authority yet no one followed her. She had no hold in the school as she was just an ordinary werewolf who was also a sibling of their Queen. They did not take her command as significant or important as she was just like them a pupil of the school.
“You are nobody.” the diwata who was left to be in charge by King Pat answered. “Let’s go to the garden and play, you guys come on!” she shouted and they all went out. Leaving Trish standing still in her place, while Sambag tried to hide away from the diwatas. They were feisty little men and women. They looked like normal humans except for there long white hair.
“Somehow, you seemed to be friendly. Why did you let them go out?” Sambag asked Trish. She was stunned at his question.
“I do not have the authority to command them. Just as the diwata said, I am a pupil like her. Why are you suddenly interested to what happened to me?” Trish asked him. He was shocked at himself as well.
“Please call me Leo. I am not Sambag.” He told her.
“Alright Leo come with me. I promised you answers, it is time you get them.” Trish then moved out of the room and started to walk into another classroom. Leo followed her every step watching out for any rocks or traps beneath the surface.

“Excuse me, Buenas Dias (Good morning) Princess Anita. May I speak with you for a second.” Trish said as she stepped in a garden. The classroom was under an illusion of a garden, as soon as Leo stepped inside, he screamed like a girl.
An annoyed Anita faced them. She did not like interruptions during classes, especially unannounced visits. “What is it?” Anita asked Trish while looking at the screaming tayho. “What is his problem?” Anita asked again. She rolled her eyes upon seeing them.
“Sorry to bother you, but we need help. This is Sambag a fellow pupil but he claims to be Leo and has no knowledge of what happened to him.” Trish gave her a summary of summary to make it quick.
“Did he knock his head?” Anita asked again. This time Leo was losing his breath and his scream was more of a whisper already. “No, King Pat performed a teleportation demo earlier with Sambag as the engkanto to be teleported. However, for some reason, when Sambag teleported in his classroom he was shouting and stomping. He claims to be Leo and not Sambag.” Trish explained. Anita took a few steps forward and looked Sambag closely, examining his aura and life force. Something, only she can do apparently.
“I see, and King Pat could not teleport him back am I right?” Anita looked back to Trish for confirmation. “Si.” (Yes.) Was all Trish could get out of her mouth before Anita spoke again.
It was an incantation of sorts. She just stood there while everyone looked at them. Studying her every word and her actions. They were studying Incantations at the moment so it was a perfect timing.
A few more minutes of incantation. “Now class join me in chanting the phrases.” Anita commanded them. They followed her instruction diligently.

Anita and her pupils chanted this over and over until Sambag fell to the floor unconscious. Trish looked at him. She wanted to run to him and help him but she was hesitant. It was not an honorable action to do for a teenage girl.
