Zoriel spent a few more days resting. It was almost miraculous how quickly his wound was healing. There was something strange—something special—about the leaves Zenaida kept applying to it.

It was only when he was finally able to stand that he realized the house they were staying in used to belong to his grandfather.

The old wooden house was fairly large. Despite its age, it remained in good shape, with barely any damage. There were a few holes in the roof—after all, it was made of nipa and some parts had come loose—but the walls and the foundation were still strong. It was built on four sturdy stilts, raised above the ground, with a space underneath.

To an outsider, it might look like someone still lived there. The area around the house was well-kept. Not a single weed could be found—only vibrant, colorful flowers filled the yard.

“Did you find it already?” Zoriel asked Zenaida.

They were having lunch. Caloy had cooked adobong sitaw, using the string beans he harvested from their yar

  • Chapter 29: The Unborn Child

    They left Zoriel with the beautiful young woman in the small living room of their house. She sat there quietly, waiting patiently for what would happen next. Lily hovered in front of her, flitting through the air as if inspecting every inch of her. Meanwhile, the siblings were in the kitchen, speaking in hushed voices.It was just far enough that they could talk in private while still keeping an eye on the mysterious guest.“Where is she from?” Zenaida asked, her brows slightly furrowed.They spoke barely above a whisper, still watching the woman from the corner of their eyes.Zoriel shrugged. “I haven’t spoken to her much. I just walked her here.”“What did she say again?”“She’s looking for Lolo Santhel. And she said she got pregnant by a tikbalang.”Zenaida clenched her fists at the mention. She stared at the young woman—more specifically, at her belly.“I’ll check her,” she said.Zoriel nodded silently.Zenaida approached first. The girl turned to her and gave her a small, hesit

  • Chapter 27: The Coven

    Zoriel groaned as a sharp pain pulsed through his side. He could still feel the sting of the claw that had pierced him—like it had gone all the way through to his core.He grunted softly and slowly opened his eyes.The first thing he saw was a ceiling made of woven nipa. The breeze from the sea carried a distinct scent that filled his nostrils. The quiet around him brought a strange sense of peace.“Zoriel! You’re awake!” said Lily.She popped into view so suddenly that Zoriel flinched and sank back into the mat. She giggled when she saw him wince.“Sorry! I’m just really happy you’re okay! I’ll go get Zenaida!”Zoriel exhaled and let her fly off without a word.He gently touched his side. He could feel a leaf placed over the wound and a cloth wrapped around his waist. He was wearing different clothes now.And then the memories from the night before returned—The Bruja.The fight.The voice.“Remember who you are.”He thought it had something to do with being the next Santhigar. But a

  • Chapter 26: The Bruja

    "You pests! You shouldn't have come here!" Agnes screamed, her voice now shrill and sinister."Ahh! What is that?!" Caloy cried out, instinctively hiding behind Zoriel.They all backed away in shock as Agnes’s form began to change. Even Lily fluttered behind Caloy in fear.The woman who once had smooth, radiant skin now had wrinkled, sagging flesh. Her once-gentle face twisted into something cruel and feral, and her formerly straight hair turned wild and tangled.Their friend had become a witch."Y-You’re not Agnes! You’re not her!" Zenaida screamed. "You’re a Bruja!"The Bruja snarled. Her long, jagged nails nearly grazed Zenaida’s face as she pointe

  • Chapter 25: The Villagers

    Zoriel couldn’t explain the strange sensation creeping over him. With every step he took, he could feel the islanders’ eyes fixed on him.The women that were cleaning fish near the docks.The men who had just gotten off their boats.Even the children who had been laughing and playing just moments earlier had all stopped—and were now staring.They came to a stop at the center of the shoreline. They couldn’t go any farther anyway; the narrow path ahead was blocked by a wall of people.Zoriel felt like every single person on the island was now watching them.“Who is that?”

    Chapter 24: Back Home

    “This place is amazing!” Caloy exclaimed with excitement, his eyes darting all around.They were riding in a customized van—Crystal’s work vehicle. It had been converted into a tiny house, complete with everything she needed for travel and rest.“Thank you. I’m sorry if this is all we could bring. The bus still isn’t ready. A few things are being fixed,” Crystal explained a bit sheepishly.Caloy and Zenaida exchanged glances.“You have a bus, too?” Zenaida asked, stunned.“Is it like this one?” Caloy added quickly.Lily flew up near Crystal’s face. “She must be a princess or something!”Zoriel could only sigh. Somehow, he was the one feeling embarrassed for his companions.“I’m sorry, Crystal. They’re always like this.”“It’s fine. There’s food in the mini fridge. Help yourselves,” she said kindly.Caloy’s grin widened. Without hesitation, he stood and opened the fridge. Zenaida quickly followed to check what was inside.Zoriel shook his head again. “They're really embarrassing,” he m
