"Allena, let's eat. You'll get sick." Already the umpteenth time the Union persuaded Allena to fill the stomach, but the response that Allena gave remained the same. Fidget.
"Leave it. It's better, so I can quickly meet Mom in heaven." Allena's ant voice was captured by Uni's ear.
"No, Allena. If you die by your own will, it's not heaven you get, it's hell. Don't embarrass your father. He's a holy creature, you have to follow the current."
"But I'm tired of living a life full of threats like this. I can't stand the constant pain." Allena squeezed her chest, already beginning to feel dashed with hope.
"This is a trial, God is testing your strength. Believe me, he must have a better plan than this. Never give up!"
Allena wiped away her dripping tears, before scattering into the arms of the creature next to her. "thank you. Although we only know for a few days, but you are willing to help and encourage me. I do not know what to reply ... but certainly I feel .. a .. I'm the luckiest person to have a friend like you."
Uni rubbed Allena's shoulder. "This is the point of friendship, and I'm also proud to be a friend of a creature as strong as you."

"ALLENO! I KNOW YOU'RE INSIDE! COME OUTSIDE!"
The scream from outside the cave made Allena tremble. Shame worried. Without seeing his figure there, he already knew for sure who the owner of the voice was.
"You wait here. Let me face it." After saying so, Jose passed by with fingers circling the hilt of the spear.
"I'm coming!" With full courage Uni swung her legs after Jose.
Allena's freaking out. He immediately moved quickly blocking the two people. "Wait, everybody!"
Those in front of him frowned with their tongues begging.
"QUICK TURN YOURSELF IN, OR I'LL TAKE IT!" The screams are heard again.
Jose deepened his delicacy to Allena who was acting silly. "What are you doing? Don't mess around, we don't have much time."
"I'm serious! All this time you've been trying hard to protect me. This time let me face it."
"But you ..."
"Please, I'm not as innocent as a kid anymore. Not bragging about being able to fight alone. But I just don't want all of my threats you guys are always responsible for." Allena cut Jose's sentence in a heavy tone. His gaze implied a deep plea for the two beings to comply with his wishes.
" ... Alright. If there is anything, scream as loud as possible. Then we'll help soon."
Allena nodded steadily.
"Spirit! My hearing will always be watching you!" Uni brandished his thumbs by accompanying a wide smile.

As soon as she looked outside, Allena's eyes instantly enlarged perfectly. He thought all he would face was his former lecturer. But it turned out to be teamed. There, Kathrine became among them.
"Any, we finally meet again!" Lilisen sparkled to meet his appearance.
Immortals from various clans gathered with an irresistible lust highlight. Allena is not out of thought, so much their obsession with him until united not care with the enemy even though only to get his strength?
Even more surprising, a moment later Albern emerged from the crowd of creatures, always with his mysterious gaze pointed at Allena.
"Uhm, if you have to, you can talk to your ex-boyfriend for a while" Bryan told Albern.
There's no answer. Bryan raised his shoulders, indifferent. He moved his hand in the air, gesturing for attack.
The immortal army advanced. Allena quickly ran while flapping her wings, looking for a more spacious place.
Bryan turned himself into a wolf and roared. Kathrine leapt agilely from tree to tree, trying to make her way through Allena. Meanwhile, Albern, with his lightning speed managed to surround from behind.
Allena watched around with a feeling of anxiety. Lilisen raised both hands until that moment also the plants around moved dancing. Allena jumped back as the roots of a large tree were about to wrap around her legs.
Bryan's wolf incarnation pounced from the front when Allena was losing focus, creating a long scratch on her cheek.
Albern approached with doubt. Allena finally managed to escape by rolling her body to the side.
Before Albern could touch his shoulder, Allena's grinding immediately resuscitated, and the energy in action.
Albern crashed and fell just like that. However, he did not let out a reaction like a defeated person or in pain.
Kathrine rushed to help her brother get up again.
Allena really couldn't bear to see it. But how else? He was forced to do it for his own safety.
"Collapse! Rather than fight, waste energy. In the end you will lose too."
Allena. "Oh yeah? Why are you so sure?"
"Don't you see how many we are?"
"Sometimes victory can not only be predicted by looking at the number of opponents or not. But it's ingenuity and strength that determine."
" ... Thank you .. welcome."
From the front, it looked like the Hybrid was running about to attack as well. Allena will seize the opportunity. He immediately grabbed the fox man's hair, then kicked it until the creature's body was thrown and hit the Hybrid.
"Aww!"
Allena smiled in satisfaction, for a moment, before looking around. I realized that he was surrounded. Even against him he was not sure he would win. Many creatures grinned, waiting for the end.
Allena twisted her body, so that a blue wave appeared that was her protector. All the attacking creatures bounced around, unable to touch Allena. Slowly, his body floated from the ground, his wings flapping sluggishly.
"Al, you already have some of his powers. Quick, break through that protector!" kathrine's chuckle next to Albern.
Albern did not respond. Her gaze was attached in one direction, Allena's eyelids.
Look at me, Al. Open your eyes, you know, how longing I am for our closeness!
Either Allena heard it or not Albern's heart said. But for a second, his golden eyes rose. Looks teary.
Albern smiled bitterly. A single tear flowed from the corner of his eye. This was the first time she had cried in a lifetime.
"Allena."
Allena turned to the source of the voice, and looked at the figure of the white-clothed woman again. "Mother?"
"Be a real angel" said Maritena. Allena still did not understand what he meant. So, he fell silent, expecting his mother's shadow to continue speaking.
Maritena hugged her daughter for a moment and smiled. "Don't hold a grudge, no matter how bad the person is. I know your heart is hurting and understand what you're feeling, it must be hard to accept. But you're a descendant of a sacred creature. Soul angel. There is a time when age stops. So, before you regret it, use the opportunity to make things right."
Allena's crying broke. "Take me with you, Mom..."
"not yet. Relax, your mother and father must be waiting for your presence in heaven."
Allena wiped her tears with origin. Just wanting to hug her mother again, Maritena's shadow had already disappeared.
"Allen ..."
Allena looked down, startled, Albern was already nearby. The man's hand stretched out, piercing through the wave arch that surrounded his body.
"Take my hand" said Albern softly.
Without a doubt, Allena accepted it. Albern grabbed Allena's body in a hugging position.
"I miss you." Albern stroked Allena's hair.
"I know."
"Do you also know how I feel now?"
Allena's tight-lipped. Reluctant to answer. Albern began to soften. But he could not be sure what the feeling was, the heart of the man.
"I .. love you."
Allena's heart was shaking again. No. gabe. Albern can be good. But if saying that word turns out to be a lie, he cannot accept it.
"Don't, please.be honest, even if it hurts. Rather than lying, you know? That hurts even more."
"Pardon me for all the sins I have committed against you. In the past, my intentions were bad because of my greed for power. Now, however, because of your sincere love, I realize what I did was a perverse path." Albern breathed heavily. "I know, gaining your trust again is hard. But please, Allena, give me a chance to try to restore happiness. Don't make me regret it for a lifetime."
Allena cupped Albern's jaw with her right hand, then gave a small nod. "I've forgiven you."
Albern smiles.
The next moment they kissed. All the creatures there that were looking were simply unmoved. There was no rebellion. As if stunned by the sight before him. Is it true that there is still a speck of heartlessness in the hearts of those immortal beings?
"I swear I will always be your shield .." whispered Albern sensually in Allena's ear.
"Since in the mortal world, you've protected me a lot."
"Thank you."
"For what?"
"To God for sending you into my true love."
Allena laughed softly and gave a smile. "Be the best head of the family for our little family."
Albern raised an eyebrow.
"Fruit of our hearts." Allena stroked her flat stomach.
