Parasite Evil
No no, this is not about a spin off of two action games into one, title misleading eh?
This is about a certain parasite that is so evil, the great demon himself is going to cry rolling along the floor.
Believe me, you'd rather not be away years from your hometown without any intricate communications done within at least a week or so, even if you do so, chances are there's one particular stranger who would want all your relatives' spotlight stuck upon him/her.
This stranger is literally a parasite. He/She so parasitic, I'd rather refer him/her as an "IT". It's hard to imagine your own relatives can be turned against you by this parasite, defending or trying to prove yourself will only do harm than good as this parasite clings to their minds and feeds on long forgotten grudges (or even recent) and little misunderstandings you have invoked upon your relatives.
What is left for you to do? If the parasite's aim is to destroy you or put you into minimum importance (or even turn you into a total stranger to your own blood) Apathy is a good way to go, you cannot go wrong with this one, if you really know your relatives vice versa, the truth will eventually unfold.
Whether you like it or not, you'll just have to see this parasite thrive until the right opportunity comes, confrontation will only backfire on you. What I meant apathy is that disregarding any provocative acts and yet being subtle. Being subtle yet you're fully aware of what's happening. Being aware yet putting yourself on your relatives' shoes on how is it being stirred by a parasite and you do, you'll do good. Remember that anything that this parasite says or does has a chance that it is targeted on you, assume beforehand but don't conclude.
This parasite could have made enemies more than friends (explained by its self-centered and attention whore behavior). There is a good chance that you can ask around but be totally careful , you don't want to talk to the wrong person which I'll refer as "infected". Just start a random conversation topic which will lead to the confirmation of the parasite's identity and ways, just be creative. As much as how your pride goes, you still have to adapt some of the ways of this parasite to survive living with it, it's there to make your life hard to live by.
IF this parasite is your brother's wife then you're probably screwed... just joking, everything still applies, this is just my way of dealing with such parasites. There could be your own way as well.
God help this parasite.

Gaming Company Politics - They exist
It's always in the news, allegations, conspiracies, corruption, and everything about politics. But do gamers can actually escape the fact that politics also exist in Gaming companies? No.
How can I say so? Come on, if you've been a MMO gamer for even at least a year you can tell what's political and what's not because you're born here in the Philippines (can also apply to other companies) and you eat politics for breakfast or maybe you're just plain ignorant or simply don't mind at all. How about we get over with this already.
During Campaign period where usually campaign posters are put up, some other party will either rip off another party's poster or overlap it with theirs. Gaming companies do that too, it's either an initiative or actually an order but whatever, they're the ones benefiting from it.
Allegations about some donations being stored instead of being distributed among typhoon victims? It's familiar right? how about allegations about a certain gaming company staffs (or the company itself) who stores gaming event prizes, merchandise and some other stuff for themselves? Not familiar though.
Our Philippine athletes, they are most scarce in support in both financial and non-financial. In MMOs, I'm not totally saying Philippine MMO gamers are not supported during International competitions but there's this case where a group of individuals where sent to battle in a territory with outdated tactics and arsenals (what I meant is Patch version difference). Or simply a competition of Art where suddenly a company withdrew support leaving the poor talented guy in mid-air.
Issues, how do Politicians silence the individuals? How do they kill the topic and bury them so they will forever be forgotten? It also happens in MMOs, in forums... threads get deleted, users get banned... what else? They either SHOW ME THE MONEY or ALLYOURBASEAREBELONGTOUS and you're epically cornered to shut the trap off and let things happen like stealing candy from a kid.
If gamers think corruption only exists in the Government (or even NGOs), think again. Though it is not the company that is corrupt but the ones working at it there's still the ever damaging corruption (maybe because we are only human but do animals have this concept too?). I remembered a Gaming company that totally failed due to rampant corruption of its employees. RMT (Real Monetary Trading) though it is known to be performed by gamers themselves it is also a fact that the ones in Gaming companies are also doing it, you know who you are.
In politics you have to be a puppet, In gaming companies, it does apply, why not? Who's putting food on your plate? They'll say your ideals will take you nowhere, you have to follow or GTFO with your ideals and reasoning. It has come to a fact that gaming companies exist to MAKE PROFIT MORE rather than give gamers their needed GAMING PLEASURE. But I admit, they give it but for me cash-milking is still noticeable, can't blame them though (uh, this is not already politics anymore...) which makes me a confused baby in a topless bar.
So it has come to a conclusion that politics do exist in gaming companies. Though I want to work in some gaming company too (and this blog post MAY completely decrease the chance) I just can't help myself from being totally silent about it. Maybe I haven't tackled all of gaming company politics due to the fact that I hate politics itself. Is politics really essential? Can it be avoided? Maybe as long as we are human, it's one of the things we are certainly good at.
What's my point in posting this? Maybe nothing... Maybe...

[Fan Re-Submission] The Fate of the Three Sisters
After almost a year, I decided to re-post my one and only Fanfic here in my blog...
This was actually an entry for an event named "The Quest Master Challenge" that turned out into a fan submission. Posted on Oct. 31, 2008 and was finished on Nov. 27, 2008
Original entry link HERE
Character Profiles:
The Pascua Sisters
And so came the death of their father and an impending danger that is threatening the lives of their family, Sylvia tried to gather up her two sisters and decided to put aside their differences on attitude and views
------------------------------------------------------------------
Anita Pascua - Consumed by hatred
Age: 27
"Duh, I hate wimps." - Anita
Anita being the eldest among the three sisters, carries so much burden of her past, being sexually assaulted by her Uncle and the fact that her father knew about it and decided to keep it a secret to protect their family reputation, that made Anita blew into rage and attacked her Uncle, her father tried to stop her in which Anita almost killed her father when her father tried to block the stab of her knife to her Uncle. After what happened, Anita just disappeared out of plain sight with some of her belongings.
Anita now returns and still carries the same burden.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Sylvia Pascua - Obedience and Sacrifice
Age: 24
"There's nothing wrong about being obedient, without them we're not here in this world" - Sylvia
Sylvia is second to the eldest of the three sisters, she was of her parents' "favorite" as she was so loyal and obedient to them and that generated confict between her other two sisters.Sylvia didn't knew a thing about what happened to Anita and what is her reason for leaving.She took care of their parents alone and sacrificed almost everything including her
happiness and her love to a guy just for their parents. She has some regrets of her decision but nonetheless she can't take their parents for granted. Sylvia decided to look for her sister Anita after their father's death
------------------------------------------------------------------
Anne Pascua - Rebellious and Gullible
Age: 21
"Hard headed? Sure, but there's no reason for disregard, right?" - Anne
Spoiled by Anita and being the "Less Favorite" among the sisters, She disobeys almost everything that their parents tell her and rather listens to Anita before. After overhearing a conversation between their mother and father about the reason why Anita left them, that made Anne even more rebellious. She even called Sylvia a Dog for being so obedient and loyal
to their parents. She tries to look for Anita but Sylvia stops her.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is a prelude to the "The Fate of the Three Sisters" story since I'm going to base it on my previous one.
This is based on The Return of the Dark Lord Event.
Act I
The Meeting Place
Anita: It was time, Amethy called for the brave pioneers to Nimrod Bridge who are going to escort the Oracle Spears. Only few came, us being the first one there. So we wait for the Oracle, just as the Oracle arrives and we were planning to move on to Jezebel Glen, We got ambushed by Dark Lord Gracielos and suddenly swept down our feet with a single Dragon Kick. Dark Lord, not satisfied summoned God-Like Bernelli's that intercepted the fleeing pioneers. This is not as planned. As we recovered from our fall, we were stormed with Dark Claude Baudez's and Dark M'Boma's so we try to take cover from a distance and told Amethy to move on to Jezebel Glen because if it continues, it's going to be a serious threat to the Oracle Spears. We lured out some of Dark Claude Baudez's and M'Boma out of the Oracle downing my sister Sylvia, we should have ran but I couldn't leave my sister alone there so I told Anne to keep her distance as I take head on the Dark Claude Baudez. Of Angel Amethy's good heart, she revived my sister Sylvia and we make a run from M'boma as he casts his Dark Photon Splash, we managed to run afar but we got caught with a few Dark Photons. There's a certain force that froze my sister Anne, though I don't know what it is, I tried to guard her, downing me in the process. I standed up and insist on doing whatever we can to push away Dark Lord's ambush. At that time I had a bad feeling about it, it is as if, Dark Lord has been watching over us just before we assemble at Nimrod Bridge. Dark Lord's army weakened and finally Amethy ordered the pioneers to make a run to Jezebel Glen, we let Amethy go first as we intercept the chasing Dark Lord Minions. Few heroic pioneers did the job for us so we followed Amethy and the Oracle to Jezebel Glen's entrance. We make sure the area is clear before we proceed to Jezebel Glen. Now... on to Jezebel Glen.
Act II
Another Ambush
Anita: Just as we arrived Jezebel Glen, we thought we could rest a bit there but of a sudden, another ambush occured, we told Amethy and the Oracle to make a run to the bridge but Dark Lord's army seem to prevent them for doing so. My sisters Sylvia and Anne moved away to clear a path for Amethy and the Oracle. I, helped the other brave pioneers to defend the Oracle. It doesn't stop, they keep on coming, so many lives perished, I blindly rushed the demons that Dark Lord summoned. Amethy and the oracle somehow managed to make a run to the bridge and as before we intercepted the chasing enemies. My suspicions are heightening as another ambush downed the Oracle at the very bridge, we rushed to help the Oracle. Amethy sensed something near the Faction Beacon so we followed them there only to find a Stone Diablo standing there. What is it doing there?
Act III
Treachery
Sylvia: They keep on coming, and we don't know what a Stone Diablo is doing there, we defend the Oracle to the last drop of our blood. Suddenly, Amethy contacted the other Angel, Sacha. "This is not going as we planned." Amethy said. Sacha was a traitor, she's been possessed by Dark Lord just like our Uncle before, she said she was going to sacrifice the Oracle Victoria to the Dark Lord. I was shocked back there and my heartbeat was so fast and there was fear of what's going to happen next. I was frozen into place, I can't move, I can't do anything about it. Sacha did sacrifice Victoria and Sacha turned into Sekhmet. After that all became black, I don't know what happened.
Act IV
Failure
Anne: I woke up my sister Sylvia as she seem to have fainted on what happened, my sister Anita was so mad as she keeps on hitting the stone Diablo that stands there. There was a flash and all were gone and we and a few pioneers were there near the Stone Diablo. It was quiet, deafening silence as I put to it, my sister Anita lay down on her knees as she cries and keeps on hitting the statue. My sister Sylvia was still on a state of shock as she cannot speak, I however managed to break out to reality, my friend Amethy was nowhere to be found. Me and my sister Anita decided to return to Coimbra with my sister Sylvia still on a shock. For once I feel something unusual, a caring feeling for my sister Sylvia and Anita, I can take what happened but my sister Sylvia and Anita almost lost their sanity on what happened. We took our moment on the port of Coimbra looking over the horizon. Still we wonder if we have failed Angel Amethy and the Oracle. After that my sisters managed to get over with what happened and still we pledge our undying loyalty to the Angel Amethy and Oracle Spears.
Anita: Sacha's been possessed by the Dark Lord ever since, who am I now going to trust? I even have doubts about you Amethy but nonetheless our fight does not end here.
Sylvia: I don't know if I did serve you well but I hate what happened, Sacha's treachery, it brings back old memories, bad memories of the past. I hate this feeling that I seem can't get away with it. I did all what I can.
Anne: *cries* Amethy... what else can I do? Please tell me I'm not a burden back there. Is one of the Oracles really gone? Tell me, I'm begging you.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Months have passed since the incident...
The three sisters had gone in their separate ways...
Anita has set up a shop in the Port of Coimbra while Sylvia works in Cite de Reboldouex as a Pioneer Instructor. On the other hand, Anne is with their Grandmother in Ustiur.
It seems like there's nothing traumatic that had happened way back.
Anita's now fond of her business in fact she has saved some for her favorite sister Anne something special. Sylvia enjoys much of her work, she meets different people of sorts and even though her job does not pay well it is indeed the calling for her. Anne's not the same untamed person anymore, she had learned a lot from her Grandmother. But there's still a question within the sisters that no matter how they don't want to think of it, it just seeps into their minds... "How long this peace and tranquility will last?"
Ustiur...
Every other day is Dinosaur day for Anne as Ustiur is in constant attack of Dinosaurs all over Zones 1 and 2. Good thing Anne had managed to keep her weight besides alot of Dinosaurs for breakfast. But this day seems to be unusual, the sky has darkened and it seems like there's a great storm that is coming for them. In the midst of their lunch, a Rescue Knight wounded and trying to catch her breath brought a message for Anne's grandmother. The Rescue Knight said, "Akk.. *whimper* Lots.. offfff.. skeleton... generals... *cough* they're breaking the... main ... *cough cough* gate. The Rescue Knight fainted because of exhaustion. Anne's grandmother... Grandice stood up.
Grandice: This is not good, quickly ready yourselves...
Anne: What is it Grandma?
Grandice: I think you should meet up with your sisters and return here.
Another Rescue Knight from the Port post runs toward them.
Rescue Knight: Monsters have been spotted from the port, we are surrounded.
Grandice: I think it's about time Anne that you gather your other sisters and return to your home in the Bahamas Base Camp.
Anne: Bahamas Base Camp?
Grandice: Yes, I think you might not have remembered it since you were a baby back then. There's something you need to get from there, it is buried somewhere around your home. Quick, my Rescue Knights will escort you in the port, we can manage this attack.
Anne: But...
Grandice: No buts... just leave... we're okay.
And so they escorted Anne to the port and sailed back to Coimbra. Just as they leave the port area, Anne heard a loud explosion.
Anne: I hope they're going to be okay.
Port of Coimbra...
Anne has arrived Port of Coimbra, not long after she saw her sister Anita passing by.
Anne: Hey! Where you going?
Anita: Oh! Anne, what so sudden?
Anita approached Anne and hugged her...
Anita: Oh, I've missed you so much...
Anne: So did I...
Anne became teary-eyed...
Anita: Oh come on, you're not my little sister anymore... Cheer up!
Anne: It is just I always think of you and Sylvia
Anita: Let's go some other place follow me...
Anita: So, how's Ustiur?
Anne: Nothing much, Dinosaurs everyday for breakfast, good thing I don't gain so much weight from eating. Ustiur is constantly attacked by agressive dinosaurs. Our Grandmother sent me back, we were attacked by Undead creatures which was so uncommon. I don't know, she mentioned about something in our home in Bahamas Base Camp
Anita: Bahamas Base Camp... that place... I think we must hurry then
Anne: Yes, I'm beginning to worry about our Grandma.
Anne: Anyway, how's Sylvia?
Anita: She's okay, she enjoys touring and teaching newbie pioneers. Though she doesn't earn that much.
Anne: Uh. how about your business?
Anita: Nah... we should hurry
Anne: Okay.
Cite de Reboldouex...
At Sylvia's Office
Anita: Look who's here Sylvia...
Anne: Hey you! *smiling*
Sylvia: Oh! What's with the sudden return?
Anne: Grandma needs us to go back to our homeland
Sylvia: Hmm strange... okay okay let's go already I just informed Princess Gabriella for a vacation leave.
Anne: What?! Already? No Coffee or Cake? Argh you haven't changed...
Syvlia: Next time I promise little sister...
Anne: *sticks out tongue* Whatever...
Anita: *laughs*
Anita: So, who's gonna pay for the fare?
Anne: Not me! I'm broke
Syvlia: How about you Anita? I heard you're a famous Businesswoman
Anita: As expected... Ooof... if it weren't for Anne. Oh I almost forgot Anne, I have something for you. I'll give it to you when we arrive in Coimbra, okay?
Anne: Okay... *smiles*
Port of Coimbra...
Anne: I'm tired.
Anita: Before I forgot, I have something for you... come.
Anne: What is it? Food?
Anita: Nope, Sylvia is the one for that
Sylvia: Huh? *snickers* Okay...
Anita: Open it.
Anne opens the chest...
Anne: Wow! A Conqueror Shotgun. This is what I really wanted...
Anita: Hah! Don't even ask how much it costs.
Anne: Is this mine? Really?
Anita: Yes of course... *stomach growls* uhh I'm hungry...
Sylvia: Okay! Okay! My treat... let's go to the market before we venture to Ustiur
Anita: That'll be two Miss Camille
Anne: Hey! Hey! Give me the vis instead, I'll buy myself one gallon chocolate... I haven't tasted anything sweet the past few months...
Sylvia: Hmmm... vegetables.. vegetables... Wait...
Anne: Aww...
Syvlia: Here, buy a bottle...
Anne: A bottle? That wouldn't even touch my tonsils. Oh come on just this once.
Sylvia: Okay.. okay... *snickers*
Anne: *Runs up to Lisa Lynway to buy a Gallon of chocolate*
Anita: Gee Sylvia, that's a lot
Syvlia: Actually I could have treat her some more... Arghh wrong timings I suppose.
Anne returns with a humongous gallon of chocolate
Anne: Ooofff... this is enough for 3 days.
Sylvia: I suppose it would only take a day for you to consume it.
Anne: *sticks out tongue*
Anita: Okay... let's look for some place where we can sit...
Anne: *after taking a guzzle of chocolate directly from the bottle* Hey sisters, why did our parents leave the camp?
Anita: Harsh weather conditions, Monster Hostility... many reasons
Sylvia: And the fact that you were always sick when you were a baby.
Anne: Is that so? Then, what about Grandma said about there's something we should get from our home in Bahama Base Camp?
Sylvia: I don't know... we just have to know for ourselves
Anita: I guess Sylvia it has something to do with what father told us about before.
Sylvia: Maybe... *thinks*
The horn of the Pinta sounded indicating that it is going to leave for Ustiur...
Anita: We should go now
Anne: Could we go to the Observation Platform before we leave?
Sylvia: Hmm, we have enough time. Okay let's go...
Anne: The sunset surely looks great
Anita: *says to herself* Could this be the last sunset that I will see?
Anne: What were you saying?
Anita: Oh no nothing.
Sylvia: You know... it's been a while but it seems like a decade had passed
Anne: But you're still the same old killjoy...
Sylvia: Do you want me to take that chocolate from you?
Anne: I said you're my most beautiful and second to kindness sister in the whole New World.
Anita & Sylvia: *Laughs out loud*
Anita: Oh well... I hope we are always like this...
Sylvia: Yes... who would help and care for each other... what are sisters for?
Anne: Oh my beautiful sister going mushy hahahah!
Sylvia: *smiles*
Anita: Okay I think it's about time... or we won't catch the Pinta to Ustiur.
Sylvia: Let's go.
Ustiur...
Anne: I wonder how's Grandma now...
Anita: *silence*
Sylvia: Let's go...
Anne: Okay.
The three sisters have finally arrived Ustiur, eager to know the state of their Grandmother, they quickly run to the camp.
Anne: There's Grandma, she's okay
Sylvia: *sigh of relief*
Anita: Grandma... *bows head*
Anne: I know you'll be just okay.
Syvlia: Grandmother... what has happened here?
Grandice: You all have grown up, I'm okay, we've managed to defend ourselves from the attack.
Anita: I'm sorry Grandma if we couldn't visit you that often
Syvlia: Since father died, we are only on our own.
Grandice: I know you should all learn to stand for yourselves. Anne has been good and obedient all along here, I didn't have any problems with her.
Anne: *shows a wide grin and raises her chin up*
Sylvia: Well I'm surprised... *snickers*
Anita: Grandma, what is it that we had to get from our home in Bahama Base Camp?
Grandice: There's this thing that your father told me in the past when you were about to move to Coimbra. He hid a certain journal of their expedition. He said that when the undead and demons start to crawl out of their den I should send you and your sisters to get it. He said he buried it somewhere around your home.
Anita: I don't get it Grandma... why us?
Grandice: You shouldn't ask more... You three have to hurry, we don't know when they will attack again Ustiur Camp or even worse, even Coimbra and the other Towns. It's happening again, I suppose.
Sylvia: There's a lot that you don't tell us Grandma
Anne: *stays quiet because she has no idea on what they are talking about*
Grandice: Just hurry and I'll tell you more about it when you return... Quick, take the boat at the port so that you won't have to pass Ustiur Zones in order to get to Bahama Base camp. Here's a Map just in case.
Anita: *sigh* Okay, as you want us to do so...
Syvlia: Let's go...
Anne: *scratches head*
As the three sisters left...
Grandice: *says to herself* As much as I don't want you three to get involved... I guess this is destined...
Anita: Ok, so who's gonna paddle?
Sylvia: *Looks at Anne*
Anne: We're going to ride that boat? Hey! What are you looking at?! I ain't gonna paddle!
Anita: I guess we should all paddle... *snickers*
Anne: Awww... Okay...
On their way to Bahama Base Camp
Anne: Things are happening so fast I couldn't even imagine why are we doing this...
Anita: Neither do I, there's this strange feeling...
Sylvia: I have fears and doubts now that something reminds me of what happened to us before... remember the Oracles and the Angels?
Anne: *sudden change in mood*
Anita: I don't know... or I don't want to know...
Sylvia: That day... as much as I don't want to remember it, it seems like it happened for a reason.
Anita: We're almost there... see that river bank?
Anne: *says to herself* Amethy... Doriane... and the Oracles... curse you Sacha...
Sylvia: *taps Anne* Hey, we're here...
Anne: Oh... is this the place?
Anita: There's our home!
Anne: So what are we supposed to look for here?
Sylvia: It's a journal of our father... he and mother were Expeditioneers when they came to the New World.
Anita: I think he had something to tell us before but he failed to do so.
Anita: Nothing much have changed...
Sylvia: You believe we can find here what our Grandma wants to?
Anne: Yeah, I don't even know where to look first...
Anita: This place...
Anne: *stares at Anita*
Syvlia: Hmm...
Anita: I know! I know where father hid it... he told me before not to play around a certain tree around here...
Anne: What tree could that be?
Sylvia: I think we should start looking there...
Anne: Hmm... this ground seem not to be as stiff as the soil around here...
Sylvia: At least we could try...
Anne: *digs* Oh why should I do the dirty work... *clang* wait I hitted something...
Anita: Let me see... it's a steel box...
Syvlia: That should be it... okay we need to go back to Grandma fast.
So they went back to Ustiur...
Anne: Grandma! We're here... we've got what you wanted...
Grandice: *says to herself* So... they found it...
Anita: Now, Grandma... you can now tell what we need to know...
Grandice: I understand how you feel Anita...
Sylvia: Does it has something to do with the Dark Lord... all the things that have been happening?
Grandice: One question at a time only my little girls... first of all you need to know something about your true identities...
Anne: *became eager to listen*
Grandice: The three of you are only orphans... but it's a fact that though you three are, they still treated you as their own.
Anne: *shocked* No, it can't be...
Anita: Why our father didn't tell us?
Grandice: Because he fears that you might leave him. You three were believed to be descendents of the Almobador family...
Sylvia: The three sisters that valiantly defended Auch from onslaught? Whom the lake was named after them... El Lago de Tres Hermanas?
Grandice: You're absolutely right about that. After the onslaught their whereabouts were unknown... there was no corpse found... as if they disappeared into thin air.
Anita: How about you get us straight Grandma?
Grandice: *brushes off some rust from the box* History will repeat itself... it's written in the box that you found.
Sylvia: You mean we share the same fate as the Three Almobador sisters? Why us?!
Anne: *speechless*
Grandice: After the onslaught your father found the three of you on the lake's shore... Anita seems to have a head injury, you Sylvia was unconscious while Anne was floating on a crib with a box which is this box that your father buried.
Grandice: *opens the box with a key* So that's why your father gave me the key to this box...
Anne: Let me look Grandma... *peeps into the box*
Anita: There's a journal... an earring, a necklace and a ring...
Sylvia: *gets and opens the journal* This journal is empty... it has nothing written on it... wait there's a paper in between the pages...

By the time you read this you three must have grown up now...
I'm sorry that I didn't tell you about your true identities.
When you were growing up, each day... it hurts to me that you three are not my own.
Anita, take the ruby earring...
Sylvia, the sapphire necklace is yours.
Anne, get the emerald ring.
I can't oppose what's destined for you three.
A mysterious figure talked to me that the three children I found cannot escape their fate.
To my worries before I decided to go to Bahama Base Camp and raise you there as normal children.
I get nightmares every now and then... it's the same mysterious figure. I often see myself and you three
above a lake. I don't know but I can't help think that you were the reincarnates of the Three Almobador sisters.
Finally, the mysterious figure talked to me again... it said that when the time comes you three will be needed
once again not only to defend a city but the whole New World. It also told me that you need to wear the 3 artifacts
that were found in the box. The Archangel's Earring, Siren's Necklace and The Ring of Rafflesia.
[/quote]Grandice: That explains it... okay you three, you must spend your night here before you go back to Coimbra.
Anita: I still don't get it... why us...
Sylvia: *silence*
Anne: *worries*
Night at Ustiur
Mysterious Voice: Anne... Anne... Come here...
Anne: *stands up from bed and goes to the place where she hears the voice*
Anne: Who are you? Show me yourself...
Mysterious Voice: You need not to know who or what I am... The time has come...
Anne: What do you mean the time has come?
Mysterious Voice: The time has come... the time has come.. the time has come... *fades*
Anne: Wait!
Anita: What is it Anne?
Sylvia: It's already midnight...
Anne: It's the Mysterious thing that father told about in his note...
Anita: Let's go back to sleep now... we need to rest. I fear that something awaits when we come back.
Anne: Okay...
Finally...
Just as the sisters were to arrive at the port...
Anita: Strange, I know Coimbra can be such a busy place but there's a lot of people I can see from here.
Sylvia: I'm beginning to worry...
At Port of Coimbra...
A Coimbran Guard approached Sylvia
Coimbra Guard: Ms. Sylvia, Word came from the Reboldouex Office that they are experiencing massive attack at the Gate. The officers from the City of Auch also reported that monsters are already by the lakeside.
Anita: What's with the commotion going on here?
Coimbra Guard: Dekaravia is spotted at the Coimbra Nimrod Bridge, few pioneers that managed to survive and flee told us that they have been attacked as well by Captain Shaffenberg with some Escudo Pechers in Porto Bello entrance while in Jezebel Glen they were attacked by the Mueletos Chief and Dr. Fran Morthein.
Sylvia: My sisters I need to go to Cite de Reboldouex.
Anne: We shouldn't separate you know that.
Anita: What are you going to do?
Sylvia: Let us just meet at City of Auch okay, we don't have much time left.
Anita: I don't get it, Anne go ahead at City of Auch wait for us there.
Anne: But?
Anita: Just go...
As Sylvia and Anne left...
Anita: It's happening again...
Anita stood on a platform and shouted...
People started to gather around
Anita: People of Coimbra! It has happened again, I know many of you right now are uncertain of what will happen next. But don't let yourselves lose hope. I maybe an ordinary person to you all but I want to tell you all that I want to make a difference, if I want... I can... and if I can... and so are you.
Let's get out there and give them our all. Are you all with me?!!
*Pioneers shouted their battle cry together*
Meanwhile...
Sylvia: How's the casualty?
Reboldouex Soldier: Nothing much at the gate Ms. Sylvia, only a few wounded Newcomers. What worries us much is the ones at Ferrucio Junction near the statue.
Sylvia: Are we able?
Reboldouex Soldier: Yes Ma'am.
Sylvia: Let's finish off the ones at the gate so we can extract the Newcomers.
Rebolduex Soldier: Yes Ma'am
City of Auch
Anne: People here are already in panic...
Someone tapped Anne's shoulder...
Anne: Huh? Hey! It's you! (Hugs Amethy)
Amethy: Ooofff not too tight... I can't breath...
Anne: Oops I'm sorry, it's been a long time since...
Amethy: I know, Dark Lord now once again poses a threat to us all...
Anne: *changes mood* Where's Doriane?
Amethy: She's going to meet up with Sylvia.
Anne: They know each other?
Amethy: Of course, your sister is the most resourceful person I've ever known.
Anne: So that's why...
Amethy: We're going to meet up here, I think this is not all of what we are experiencing right now. Anyway... where's your sister Anita?
Anne: She stayed at Coimbra to help out the people there. I hope she's going to be okay...
Amethy: I'm sure she will be okay. Trust me. Hey what is that you are wearing?
Anne: I haven't told you, we've finally known the truth about our identities...
Amethy: *confused*
Anne: It's a long story...
Anne and Amethy heard an explosion.
Anne: Let's help them out...
Amethy: I know you would. *wink*
At the Thueringen Lakeside
Amethy: This is not good... Fallen Champion... Gerero... Vladimir... and Crysalis... what more monstrosities is Dark Lord capable of unleashing...
Anne: Look out!
Amethy: Thanks!
Back at Cite de Reboldouex...
Doriane: Sylvia, we should go now to Amethy...
Sylvia: By this time I think Amethy have already met up with Anne, they're going to be ok as long as Anne is with her.
Reboldouex Soldier: Ms. Sylvia, we have a problem... Garim and Chrysalis have been spotted at Ferrucio Statue. Our troops are not going to hold that much longer.
Sylvia: Let's help them out.
Doriane: Now, you're talking
Port of Coimbra
Anita: Hah! All of you demons go back from the hell where you came from!
Coimbra Guard: Ms. Anita, a message from Ms. Sylvia... She said that you need to meet up right now with Anne in Auch.
Anita: Ok. People! All of you have put up a nice fight! But we couldn't just rest ourselves assured. Don't keep your guard down.
*Pioneers shouted their battle cry together*
Anita leaves for City of Auch.
Sylvia: This is bad... we need reinforcements.
Doriane: ...
Suddenly a lot of people came...
Doriane: Good... let's do it.
Sylvia: We need scouts! Quick...
The sky became dark... A familiar voice has spoken that were heard all over the place.
Sasha + Sekhmet: Futile attempts... you all are going to bow over my presence... I'm going to make all your sufferings worse.
Sylvia: That voice... It's about time, I'm going to meet up with Anne and Anita
Doriane: Okay, We'll handle this.
City of Auch...
Anne: It's that traitor... I'm going to have my revenge now...
Amethy: Don't rush yourself...
Anne: *shouts* Hey you! Come out! You're so going to pay!
Anita has arrived and met up with Anne
Anita: Where's Sylvia?
Anne: She's not here yet...
Amethy: She's on the way.
Sekhmet spoke again.
Sasha + Sekhmet: Very persistent... how are you going to handle this...
King of Greed and Treasure Golem is going to loot out all your precious treaures and reduce Tetra Golden Road into rubble...
Lava leaf and Einwind is going to sink Bahia Island into the deep sea...
Uraeus and Frogfish will turn your beloved El Lago into a Swamp...
My undead minions Skullic Leader, Boneless, Thoracotomy and Bellboy of Mein are craving for living bodies in Ustiur Zona 1...
My Merman Eaters in Lago Celeste will not just eat Merman but will now eat weak Humans like you...
My Griffon and Chimera are having a good time in Thueringenwald...
Diablo is going to turn Deprimida Valley into his playground...
Enjoy your doom weak Humans... hahahaha...
Anne: What are we going to do?
Suddenly the three artifacts glowed...
Anita: What's happening?
Amethy: That artifact... it can't be... The Ruby Earring, The Siren's Necklace and The Ring of Rafflesia... You three are...
No... why just now... lives could have been saved...
Sylvia: I don't get it either Amethy...
Doriane arrived
Sylvia: How's the situation there?
Doriane: They're holding them off. Heard that bastard Dark Lord so I came here.
Anita: I think this is it... Our fate my sisters...
Anne: The glow is getting brighter and brighter...
Sylvia: Dark Lord already knows about our presence... he wanted us to separate but that's not going to happen...
Anita: Wait I'm feeling something unsual...
There was a great flash of light...
Just as the blinding light subsided, the three sisters were gone...
An Unknown Place... Floating around...
Anita: Where are we?
Sylvia: I don't know either...
Anne: Are we still alive?
Anita: *pinches Anne's cheek*
Anne: Ouch that hurt...
Anita: Yup, we're still alive...
Mysterious Voice: It is time... This is your fate... and in your fate lies also the fate of Humanity...
Prepare yourselves and don't be afraid...
Anita: I feel a warm and comforting breeze...
Sylvia begun to hold Anita and Anne's hand
Sylvia: I love you all my sisters...
Anne: *teary eyed*
Anita: Don't say that, we'll be just as we are after this... living our normal lives...
Sylvia: Whatever happens, we will not leave each other's side... Okay?
Another blinding flash occured...
Anita: This is it...
The three sisters arrived at another unknown place...
Anne: Where are we again...
Mysterious Voice: This is Sekhmet's lair... You three are blessed and gifted with the power to defeat him... Now... Go...
The three sisters step further to the lair...
Sasha + Sekhmet: So you are the ones who dare to oppose the Dark Lord's will... Don't worry, I'm going to give you all quick and painless death...
Anita: Bring it on!
Anne: You are so gonna die!
Sylvia: *loads pistols*
And so the Three Sisters finally fought Sekhmet with all their might...
Though gifted with additional power... they find it hard to defeat him.
Anita: This is taking too long... I don't know if we can make it.
Sylvia: Don't lose hope... He's going down...
Anne: I feel tired... No! We must do this...
Meanwhile
Amethy: Dark Lord's Forces are retreating...
Doriane: Bunch of cowards...
Mysterious Voice: Amethy... Doriane... the sisters... they need everyone's help...
Amethy: What is it that we must do?
Mysterious Voice: Tell them to concentrate their thoughts to the sisters... Fear is the source of Dark Lord's power... as long as there is Fear...
Doriane: I don't have that fear you are talking about...
Mysterious Voice: Courage is not absence of fear... it is the resistance to fear that is what we can call courage... everyone must have courage in their hearts... Be quick Angels... time is running out for them...
Doriane: Ok... let's do this... everyone gather up!
Amethy: I'll lead them... People of the New World... our battle against Dark Lord does not end here. There's a battle currently being fought by the three sisters, they need our help... even though we can't help them physically let us take our time to quiet down and concentrate... remove the fear in our hearts... we've set aside all our differences... we are now one... we have different views... but same objectives...
There was a great moment of silence...
Tiny creatures of light suddenly appeared and rose up the sky...
Mysterious Voice: Hope... Faith... Trust... these are what the three sisters represent... Now it's up to the sisters... the decision of the fate of humanity.
Sekhmet's Lair...
Anne: I cannot hold much longer... *gasp*
Anita: No, we won't die like this...
Sylvia: *keeps on attacking Sekhmet*
Anita: Wait! What are these apparitions? The people! What are they doing here...
Anne: They seem like the real thing...
Sylvia: *tired*
Pioneer Apparitions: We're here to help you... now let's take this demon back from where he came from...
The three artifacts became to glow brightly again...
Sekhmet: This can't be... I'll wipe out all of you... Raaaaawrrrrr....
Sylvia: It ends today... right my sisters?
Anne: Yeah!
Anita: Yarrr!!!
Pioneer Apparitions: Charge!!!
Sekhmet: Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!
Sekhmet explodes into oblivion...
The sunlight peeped through the dark clouds...
Cherry blossoms began falling down from the sky
The sisters once again found themselves floating at a place they don't know.
Anne: Mysterious one... where are my sisters?
Mysterious Voice: You all have done well... you all have served your purpose.
Anne: Will I get to see them again?
Mysterious Voice: Of course...
Anne: When? Where?
Mysterious Voice: No one knows... maybe a different place... or a different time... a different identity... but surely when the day comes again... though you will never remember anything...
Anne: Is that so? Well could you just give us a chance to spend our time together?
Mysterious Voice: As you wish...
There goes again the blinding flash of light...
The sisters find themselves at El Lago de Tres Hermanas...
Anne: Gee, I think you two wished the same thing too
Anita: Of course... If I would die or something at least I want to spend my time with you and Sylvia.
Sylvia: What a heck of a day isn't it...
Anne: Okay! Group hug...
Anita: I love you Anne and Sylvia...
Anne: Love you too Big sis
Sylvia: Sisters till the end....
As the three sisters walk towards the lake... they disappeared...

"Duh, I hate wimps." - Anita
Anita being the eldest among the three sisters, carries so much burden of her past, being sexually assaulted by her Uncle and the fact that her father knew about it and decided to keep it a secret to protect their family reputation, that made Anita blew into rage and attacked her Uncle, her father tried to stop her in which Anita almost killed her father when her father tried to block the stab of her knife to her Uncle.

"There's nothing wrong about being obedient, without them we're not here in this world" - Sylvia

------------------------------------------------------------------
Prelude
Notes: This is a prelude to the "The Fate of the Three Sisters" story since I'm going to base it on my previous one.
This is based on The Return of the Dark Lord Event.
Act I
The Meeting Place
Anita: It was time, Amethy called for the brave pioneers to Nimrod Bridge who are going to escort the Oracle Spears. Only few came, us being the first one there. So we wait for the Oracle, just as the Oracle arrives and we were planning to move on to Jezebel Glen, We got ambushed by Dark Lord Gracielos and suddenly swept down our feet with a single Dragon Kick. Dark Lord, not satisfied summoned God-Like Bernelli's that intercepted the fleeing pioneers. This is not as planned. As we recovered from our fall, we were stormed with Dark Claude Baudez's and Dark M'Boma's so we try to take cover from a distance and told Amethy to move on to Jezebel Glen because if it continues, it's going to be a serious threat to the Oracle Spears. We lured out some of Dark Claude Baudez's and M'Boma out of the Oracle downing my sister Sylvia, we should have ran but I couldn't leave my sister alone there so I told Anne to keep her distance as I take head on the Dark Claude Baudez. Of Angel Amethy's good heart, she revived my sister Sylvia and we make a run from M'boma as he casts his Dark Photon Splash, we managed to run afar but we got caught with a few Dark Photons. There's a certain force that froze my sister Anne, though I don't know what it is, I tried to guard her, downing me in the process. I standed up and insist on doing whatever we can to push away Dark Lord's ambush. At that time I had a bad feeling about it, it is as if, Dark Lord has been watching over us just before we assemble at Nimrod Bridge. Dark Lord's army weakened and finally Amethy ordered the pioneers to make a run to Jezebel Glen, we let Amethy go first as we intercept the chasing Dark Lord Minions. Few heroic pioneers did the job for us so we followed Amethy and the Oracle to Jezebel Glen's entrance. We make sure the area is clear before we proceed to Jezebel Glen. Now... on to Jezebel Glen.
Act II
Another Ambush
Anita: Just as we arrived Jezebel Glen, we thought we could rest a bit there but of a sudden, another ambush occured, we told Amethy and the Oracle to make a run to the bridge but Dark Lord's army seem to prevent them for doing so. My sisters Sylvia and Anne moved away to clear a path for Amethy and the Oracle. I, helped the other brave pioneers to defend the Oracle. It doesn't stop, they keep on coming, so many lives perished, I blindly rushed the demons that Dark Lord summoned. Amethy and the oracle somehow managed to make a run to the bridge and as before we intercepted the chasing enemies. My suspicions are heightening as another ambush downed the Oracle at the very bridge, we rushed to help the Oracle. Amethy sensed something near the Faction Beacon so we followed them there only to find a Stone Diablo standing there. What is it doing there?
Act III
Treachery
Sylvia: They keep on coming, and we don't know what a Stone Diablo is doing there, we defend the Oracle to the last drop of our blood. Suddenly, Amethy contacted the other Angel, Sacha. "This is not going as we planned." Amethy said. Sacha was a traitor, she's been possessed by Dark Lord just like our Uncle before, she said she was going to sacrifice the Oracle Victoria to the Dark Lord. I was shocked back there and my heartbeat was so fast and there was fear of what's going to happen next. I was frozen into place, I can't move, I can't do anything about it. Sacha did sacrifice Victoria and Sacha turned into Sekhmet. After that all became black, I don't know what happened.
Act IV
Failure
Anne: I woke up my sister Sylvia as she seem to have fainted on what happened, my sister Anita was so mad as she keeps on hitting the stone Diablo that stands there. There was a flash and all were gone and we and a few pioneers were there near the Stone Diablo. It was quiet, deafening silence as I put to it, my sister Anita lay down on her knees as she cries and keeps on hitting the statue. My sister Sylvia was still on a state of shock as she cannot speak, I however managed to break out to reality, my friend Amethy was nowhere to be found. Me and my sister Anita decided to return to Coimbra with my sister Sylvia still on a shock. For once I feel something unusual, a caring feeling for my sister Sylvia and Anita, I can take what happened but my sister Sylvia and Anita almost lost their sanity on what happened. We took our moment on the port of Coimbra looking over the horizon. Still we wonder if we have failed Angel Amethy and the Oracle. After that my sisters managed to get over with what happened and still we pledge our undying loyalty to the Angel Amethy and Oracle Spears.
Anita: Sacha's been possessed by the Dark Lord ever since, who am I now going to trust? I even have doubts about you Amethy but nonetheless our fight does not end here.
Sylvia: I don't know if I did serve you well but I hate what happened, Sacha's treachery, it brings back old memories, bad memories of the past. I hate this feeling that I seem can't get away with it. I did all what I can.
Anne: *cries* Amethy... what else can I do? Please tell me I'm not a burden back there. Is one of the Oracles really gone? Tell me, I'm begging you.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter I
A Brand New Fear
A Brand New Fear
Months have passed since the incident...
The three sisters had gone in their separate ways...
Anita has set up a shop in the Port of Coimbra while Sylvia works in Cite de Reboldouex as a Pioneer Instructor. On the other hand, Anne is with their Grandmother in Ustiur.
It seems like there's nothing traumatic that had happened way back.
Anita's now fond of her business in fact she has saved some for her favorite sister Anne something special. Sylvia enjoys much of her work, she meets different people of sorts and even though her job does not pay well it is indeed the calling for her. Anne's not the same untamed person anymore, she had learned a lot from her Grandmother. But there's still a question within the sisters that no matter how they don't want to think of it, it just seeps into their minds... "How long this peace and tranquility will last?"
Ustiur...
Every other day is Dinosaur day for Anne as Ustiur is in constant attack of Dinosaurs all over Zones 1 and 2. Good thing Anne had managed to keep her weight besides alot of Dinosaurs for breakfast. But this day seems to be unusual, the sky has darkened and it seems like there's a great storm that is coming for them. In the midst of their lunch, a Rescue Knight wounded and trying to catch her breath brought a message for Anne's grandmother. The Rescue Knight said, "Akk.. *whimper* Lots.. offfff.. skeleton... generals... *cough* they're breaking the... main ... *cough cough* gate. The Rescue Knight fainted because of exhaustion. Anne's grandmother... Grandice stood up.
Grandice: This is not good, quickly ready yourselves...
Anne: What is it Grandma?
Grandice: I think you should meet up with your sisters and return here.
Another Rescue Knight from the Port post runs toward them.
Rescue Knight: Monsters have been spotted from the port, we are surrounded.
Grandice: I think it's about time Anne that you gather your other sisters and return to your home in the Bahamas Base Camp.
Anne: Bahamas Base Camp?
Grandice: Yes, I think you might not have remembered it since you were a baby back then. There's something you need to get from there, it is buried somewhere around your home. Quick, my Rescue Knights will escort you in the port, we can manage this attack.
Anne: But...
Grandice: No buts... just leave... we're okay.
And so they escorted Anne to the port and sailed back to Coimbra. Just as they leave the port area, Anne heard a loud explosion.
Anne: I hope they're going to be okay.
Chapter II
The Reunion
The Reunion
Port of Coimbra...
Anne has arrived Port of Coimbra, not long after she saw her sister Anita passing by.
Anne: Hey! Where you going?
Anita: Oh! Anne, what so sudden?
Anita approached Anne and hugged her...
Anita: Oh, I've missed you so much...
Anne: So did I...
Anne became teary-eyed...
Anita: Oh come on, you're not my little sister anymore... Cheer up!
Anne: It is just I always think of you and Sylvia
Anita: Let's go some other place follow me...
Anita: So, how's Ustiur?
Anne: Nothing much, Dinosaurs everyday for breakfast, good thing I don't gain so much weight from eating. Ustiur is constantly attacked by agressive dinosaurs. Our Grandmother sent me back, we were attacked by Undead creatures which was so uncommon. I don't know, she mentioned about something in our home in Bahamas Base Camp
Anita: Bahamas Base Camp... that place... I think we must hurry then
Anne: Yes, I'm beginning to worry about our Grandma.
Anne: Anyway, how's Sylvia?
Anita: She's okay, she enjoys touring and teaching newbie pioneers. Though she doesn't earn that much.
Anne: Uh. how about your business?
Anita: Nah... we should hurry
Anne: Okay.
Cite de Reboldouex...
At Sylvia's Office
Anita: Look who's here Sylvia...
Anne: Hey you! *smiling*
Sylvia: Oh! What's with the sudden return?
Anne: Grandma needs us to go back to our homeland
Sylvia: Hmm strange... okay okay let's go already I just informed Princess Gabriella for a vacation leave.
Anne: What?! Already? No Coffee or Cake? Argh you haven't changed...
Syvlia: Next time I promise little sister...
Anne: *sticks out tongue* Whatever...
Anita: *laughs*
Anita: So, who's gonna pay for the fare?
Anne: Not me! I'm broke
Syvlia: How about you Anita? I heard you're a famous Businesswoman
Anita: As expected... Ooof... if it weren't for Anne. Oh I almost forgot Anne, I have something for you. I'll give it to you when we arrive in Coimbra, okay?
Anne: Okay... *smiles*
Chapter III
One Step Back
One Step Back
Port of Coimbra...
Anne: I'm tired.
Anita: Before I forgot, I have something for you... come.
Anne: What is it? Food?
Anita: Nope, Sylvia is the one for that
Sylvia: Huh? *snickers* Okay...
Anita: Open it.
Anne opens the chest...
Anne: Wow! A Conqueror Shotgun. This is what I really wanted...
Anita: Hah! Don't even ask how much it costs.
Anne: Is this mine? Really?
Anita: Yes of course... *stomach growls* uhh I'm hungry...
Sylvia: Okay! Okay! My treat... let's go to the market before we venture to Ustiur
Anita: That'll be two Miss Camille
Anne: Hey! Hey! Give me the vis instead, I'll buy myself one gallon chocolate... I haven't tasted anything sweet the past few months...
Sylvia: Hmmm... vegetables.. vegetables... Wait...
Anne: Aww...
Syvlia: Here, buy a bottle...
Anne: A bottle? That wouldn't even touch my tonsils. Oh come on just this once.
Sylvia: Okay.. okay... *snickers*
Anne: *Runs up to Lisa Lynway to buy a Gallon of chocolate*
Anita: Gee Sylvia, that's a lot
Syvlia: Actually I could have treat her some more... Arghh wrong timings I suppose.
Anne returns with a humongous gallon of chocolate
Anne: Ooofff... this is enough for 3 days.
Sylvia: I suppose it would only take a day for you to consume it.
Anne: *sticks out tongue*
Anita: Okay... let's look for some place where we can sit...
Anne: *after taking a guzzle of chocolate directly from the bottle* Hey sisters, why did our parents leave the camp?
Anita: Harsh weather conditions, Monster Hostility... many reasons
Sylvia: And the fact that you were always sick when you were a baby.
Anne: Is that so? Then, what about Grandma said about there's something we should get from our home in Bahama Base Camp?
Sylvia: I don't know... we just have to know for ourselves
Anita: I guess Sylvia it has something to do with what father told us about before.
Sylvia: Maybe... *thinks*
The horn of the Pinta sounded indicating that it is going to leave for Ustiur...
Anita: We should go now
Anne: Could we go to the Observation Platform before we leave?
Sylvia: Hmm, we have enough time. Okay let's go...
Anne: The sunset surely looks great
Anita: *says to herself* Could this be the last sunset that I will see?
Anne: What were you saying?
Anita: Oh no nothing.
Sylvia: You know... it's been a while but it seems like a decade had passed
Anne: But you're still the same old killjoy...
Sylvia: Do you want me to take that chocolate from you?
Anne: I said you're my most beautiful and second to kindness sister in the whole New World.
Anita & Sylvia: *Laughs out loud*
Anita: Oh well... I hope we are always like this...
Sylvia: Yes... who would help and care for each other... what are sisters for?
Anne: Oh my beautiful sister going mushy hahahah!
Sylvia: *smiles*
Anita: Okay I think it's about time... or we won't catch the Pinta to Ustiur.
Sylvia: Let's go.
Ustiur...
Anne: I wonder how's Grandma now...
Anita: *silence*
Sylvia: Let's go...
Anne: Okay.
Chapter IV
History Repeats Itself
History Repeats Itself
The three sisters have finally arrived Ustiur, eager to know the state of their Grandmother, they quickly run to the camp.
Anne: There's Grandma, she's okay
Sylvia: *sigh of relief*
Anita: Grandma... *bows head*
Anne: I know you'll be just okay.
Syvlia: Grandmother... what has happened here?
Grandice: You all have grown up, I'm okay, we've managed to defend ourselves from the attack.
Anita: I'm sorry Grandma if we couldn't visit you that often
Syvlia: Since father died, we are only on our own.
Grandice: I know you should all learn to stand for yourselves. Anne has been good and obedient all along here, I didn't have any problems with her.
Anne: *shows a wide grin and raises her chin up*
Sylvia: Well I'm surprised... *snickers*
Anita: Grandma, what is it that we had to get from our home in Bahama Base Camp?
Grandice: There's this thing that your father told me in the past when you were about to move to Coimbra. He hid a certain journal of their expedition. He said that when the undead and demons start to crawl out of their den I should send you and your sisters to get it. He said he buried it somewhere around your home.
Anita: I don't get it Grandma... why us?
Grandice: You shouldn't ask more... You three have to hurry, we don't know when they will attack again Ustiur Camp or even worse, even Coimbra and the other Towns. It's happening again, I suppose.
Sylvia: There's a lot that you don't tell us Grandma
Anne: *stays quiet because she has no idea on what they are talking about*
Grandice: Just hurry and I'll tell you more about it when you return... Quick, take the boat at the port so that you won't have to pass Ustiur Zones in order to get to Bahama Base camp. Here's a Map just in case.
Anita: *sigh* Okay, as you want us to do so...
Syvlia: Let's go...
Anne: *scratches head*
As the three sisters left...
Grandice: *says to herself* As much as I don't want you three to get involved... I guess this is destined...
Anita: Ok, so who's gonna paddle?
Sylvia: *Looks at Anne*
Anne: We're going to ride that boat? Hey! What are you looking at?! I ain't gonna paddle!
Anita: I guess we should all paddle... *snickers*
Anne: Awww... Okay...
On their way to Bahama Base Camp
Anne: Things are happening so fast I couldn't even imagine why are we doing this...
Anita: Neither do I, there's this strange feeling...
Sylvia: I have fears and doubts now that something reminds me of what happened to us before... remember the Oracles and the Angels?
Anne: *sudden change in mood*
Anita: I don't know... or I don't want to know...
Sylvia: That day... as much as I don't want to remember it, it seems like it happened for a reason.
Anita: We're almost there... see that river bank?
Anne: *says to herself* Amethy... Doriane... and the Oracles... curse you Sacha...
Sylvia: *taps Anne* Hey, we're here...
Anne: Oh... is this the place?
Anita: There's our home!
Anne: So what are we supposed to look for here?
Sylvia: It's a journal of our father... he and mother were Expeditioneers when they came to the New World.
Anita: I think he had something to tell us before but he failed to do so.
Anita: Nothing much have changed...
Sylvia: You believe we can find here what our Grandma wants to?
Anne: Yeah, I don't even know where to look first...
Anita: This place...
Anne: *stares at Anita*
Syvlia: Hmm...
Anita: I know! I know where father hid it... he told me before not to play around a certain tree around here...
Anne: What tree could that be?
Sylvia: I think we should start looking there...
Anne: Hmm... this ground seem not to be as stiff as the soil around here...
Sylvia: At least we could try...
Anne: *digs* Oh why should I do the dirty work... *clang* wait I hitted something...
Anita: Let me see... it's a steel box...
Syvlia: That should be it... okay we need to go back to Grandma fast.
So they went back to Ustiur...
Anne: Grandma! We're here... we've got what you wanted...
Grandice: *says to herself* So... they found it...
Anita: Now, Grandma... you can now tell what we need to know...
Grandice: I understand how you feel Anita...
Sylvia: Does it has something to do with the Dark Lord... all the things that have been happening?
Grandice: One question at a time only my little girls... first of all you need to know something about your true identities...
Anne: *became eager to listen*
Grandice: The three of you are only orphans... but it's a fact that though you three are, they still treated you as their own.
Anne: *shocked* No, it can't be...
Anita: Why our father didn't tell us?
Grandice: Because he fears that you might leave him. You three were believed to be descendents of the Almobador family...
Sylvia: The three sisters that valiantly defended Auch from onslaught? Whom the lake was named after them... El Lago de Tres Hermanas?
Grandice: You're absolutely right about that. After the onslaught their whereabouts were unknown... there was no corpse found... as if they disappeared into thin air.
Anita: How about you get us straight Grandma?
Grandice: *brushes off some rust from the box* History will repeat itself... it's written in the box that you found.
Sylvia: You mean we share the same fate as the Three Almobador sisters? Why us?!
Anne: *speechless*
Grandice: After the onslaught your father found the three of you on the lake's shore... Anita seems to have a head injury, you Sylvia was unconscious while Anne was floating on a crib with a box which is this box that your father buried.
Grandice: *opens the box with a key* So that's why your father gave me the key to this box...
Anne: Let me look Grandma... *peeps into the box*
Anita: There's a journal... an earring, a necklace and a ring...
Sylvia: *gets and opens the journal* This journal is empty... it has nothing written on it... wait there's a paper in between the pages...

By the time you read this you three must have grown up now...
I'm sorry that I didn't tell you about your true identities.
When you were growing up, each day... it hurts to me that you three are not my own.
Anita, take the ruby earring...
Sylvia, the sapphire necklace is yours.
Anne, get the emerald ring.
I can't oppose what's destined for you three.
A mysterious figure talked to me that the three children I found cannot escape their fate.
To my worries before I decided to go to Bahama Base Camp and raise you there as normal children.
I get nightmares every now and then... it's the same mysterious figure. I often see myself and you three
above a lake. I don't know but I can't help think that you were the reincarnates of the Three Almobador sisters.
Finally, the mysterious figure talked to me again... it said that when the time comes you three will be needed
once again not only to defend a city but the whole New World. It also told me that you need to wear the 3 artifacts
that were found in the box. The Archangel's Earring, Siren's Necklace and The Ring of Rafflesia.
[/quote]Grandice: That explains it... okay you three, you must spend your night here before you go back to Coimbra.
Anita: I still don't get it... why us...
Sylvia: *silence*
Anne: *worries*
Night at Ustiur
Mysterious Voice: Anne... Anne... Come here...
Anne: *stands up from bed and goes to the place where she hears the voice*
Anne: Who are you? Show me yourself...
Mysterious Voice: You need not to know who or what I am... The time has come...
Anne: What do you mean the time has come?
Mysterious Voice: The time has come... the time has come.. the time has come... *fades*
Anne: Wait!
Anita: What is it Anne?
Sylvia: It's already midnight...
Anne: It's the Mysterious thing that father told about in his note...
Anita: Let's go back to sleep now... we need to rest. I fear that something awaits when we come back.
Anne: Okay...
Chapter V
The Fate of the Three Sisters
The Fate of the Three Sisters
Finally...
Just as the sisters were to arrive at the port...
Anita: Strange, I know Coimbra can be such a busy place but there's a lot of people I can see from here.
Sylvia: I'm beginning to worry...
At Port of Coimbra...
A Coimbran Guard approached Sylvia
Coimbra Guard: Ms. Sylvia, Word came from the Reboldouex Office that they are experiencing massive attack at the Gate. The officers from the City of Auch also reported that monsters are already by the lakeside.
Anita: What's with the commotion going on here?
Coimbra Guard: Dekaravia is spotted at the Coimbra Nimrod Bridge, few pioneers that managed to survive and flee told us that they have been attacked as well by Captain Shaffenberg with some Escudo Pechers in Porto Bello entrance while in Jezebel Glen they were attacked by the Mueletos Chief and Dr. Fran Morthein.
Sylvia: My sisters I need to go to Cite de Reboldouex.
Anne: We shouldn't separate you know that.
Anita: What are you going to do?
Sylvia: Let us just meet at City of Auch okay, we don't have much time left.
Anita: I don't get it, Anne go ahead at City of Auch wait for us there.
Anne: But?
Anita: Just go...
As Sylvia and Anne left...
Anita: It's happening again...
Anita stood on a platform and shouted...
People started to gather around
Anita: People of Coimbra! It has happened again, I know many of you right now are uncertain of what will happen next. But don't let yourselves lose hope. I maybe an ordinary person to you all but I want to tell you all that I want to make a difference, if I want... I can... and if I can... and so are you.
Let's get out there and give them our all. Are you all with me?!!
*Pioneers shouted their battle cry together*
Meanwhile...
Sylvia: How's the casualty?
Reboldouex Soldier: Nothing much at the gate Ms. Sylvia, only a few wounded Newcomers. What worries us much is the ones at Ferrucio Junction near the statue.
Sylvia: Are we able?
Reboldouex Soldier: Yes Ma'am.
Sylvia: Let's finish off the ones at the gate so we can extract the Newcomers.
Rebolduex Soldier: Yes Ma'am
City of Auch
Anne: People here are already in panic...
Someone tapped Anne's shoulder...
Anne: Huh? Hey! It's you! (Hugs Amethy)
Amethy: Ooofff not too tight... I can't breath...
Anne: Oops I'm sorry, it's been a long time since...
Amethy: I know, Dark Lord now once again poses a threat to us all...
Anne: *changes mood* Where's Doriane?
Amethy: She's going to meet up with Sylvia.
Anne: They know each other?
Amethy: Of course, your sister is the most resourceful person I've ever known.
Anne: So that's why...
Amethy: We're going to meet up here, I think this is not all of what we are experiencing right now. Anyway... where's your sister Anita?
Anne: She stayed at Coimbra to help out the people there. I hope she's going to be okay...
Amethy: I'm sure she will be okay. Trust me. Hey what is that you are wearing?
Anne: I haven't told you, we've finally known the truth about our identities...
Amethy: *confused*
Anne: It's a long story...
Anne and Amethy heard an explosion.
Anne: Let's help them out...
Amethy: I know you would. *wink*
At the Thueringen Lakeside
Amethy: This is not good... Fallen Champion... Gerero... Vladimir... and Crysalis... what more monstrosities is Dark Lord capable of unleashing...
Anne: Look out!
Amethy: Thanks!
Back at Cite de Reboldouex...
Doriane: Sylvia, we should go now to Amethy...
Sylvia: By this time I think Amethy have already met up with Anne, they're going to be ok as long as Anne is with her.
Reboldouex Soldier: Ms. Sylvia, we have a problem... Garim and Chrysalis have been spotted at Ferrucio Statue. Our troops are not going to hold that much longer.
Sylvia: Let's help them out.
Doriane: Now, you're talking
Port of Coimbra
Anita: Hah! All of you demons go back from the hell where you came from!
Coimbra Guard: Ms. Anita, a message from Ms. Sylvia... She said that you need to meet up right now with Anne in Auch.
Anita: Ok. People! All of you have put up a nice fight! But we couldn't just rest ourselves assured. Don't keep your guard down.
*Pioneers shouted their battle cry together*
Anita leaves for City of Auch.
Sylvia: This is bad... we need reinforcements.
Doriane: ...
Suddenly a lot of people came...
Doriane: Good... let's do it.
Sylvia: We need scouts! Quick...
The sky became dark... A familiar voice has spoken that were heard all over the place.
Sasha + Sekhmet: Futile attempts... you all are going to bow over my presence... I'm going to make all your sufferings worse.
Sylvia: That voice... It's about time, I'm going to meet up with Anne and Anita
Doriane: Okay, We'll handle this.
City of Auch...
Anne: It's that traitor... I'm going to have my revenge now...
Amethy: Don't rush yourself...
Anne: *shouts* Hey you! Come out! You're so going to pay!
Anita has arrived and met up with Anne
Anita: Where's Sylvia?
Anne: She's not here yet...
Amethy: She's on the way.
Sekhmet spoke again.
Sasha + Sekhmet: Very persistent... how are you going to handle this...
King of Greed and Treasure Golem is going to loot out all your precious treaures and reduce Tetra Golden Road into rubble...
Lava leaf and Einwind is going to sink Bahia Island into the deep sea...
Uraeus and Frogfish will turn your beloved El Lago into a Swamp...
My undead minions Skullic Leader, Boneless, Thoracotomy and Bellboy of Mein are craving for living bodies in Ustiur Zona 1...
My Merman Eaters in Lago Celeste will not just eat Merman but will now eat weak Humans like you...
My Griffon and Chimera are having a good time in Thueringenwald...
Diablo is going to turn Deprimida Valley into his playground...
Enjoy your doom weak Humans... hahahaha...
Anne: What are we going to do?
Suddenly the three artifacts glowed...
Anita: What's happening?
Amethy: That artifact... it can't be... The Ruby Earring, The Siren's Necklace and The Ring of Rafflesia... You three are...
No... why just now... lives could have been saved...
Sylvia: I don't get it either Amethy...
Doriane arrived
Sylvia: How's the situation there?
Doriane: They're holding them off. Heard that bastard Dark Lord so I came here.
Anita: I think this is it... Our fate my sisters...
Anne: The glow is getting brighter and brighter...
Sylvia: Dark Lord already knows about our presence... he wanted us to separate but that's not going to happen...
Anita: Wait I'm feeling something unsual...
There was a great flash of light...
Just as the blinding light subsided, the three sisters were gone...
An Unknown Place... Floating around...
Anita: Where are we?
Sylvia: I don't know either...
Anne: Are we still alive?
Anita: *pinches Anne's cheek*
Anne: Ouch that hurt...
Anita: Yup, we're still alive...
Mysterious Voice: It is time... This is your fate... and in your fate lies also the fate of Humanity...
Prepare yourselves and don't be afraid...
Anita: I feel a warm and comforting breeze...
Sylvia begun to hold Anita and Anne's hand
Sylvia: I love you all my sisters...
Anne: *teary eyed*
Anita: Don't say that, we'll be just as we are after this... living our normal lives...
Sylvia: Whatever happens, we will not leave each other's side... Okay?
Another blinding flash occured...
Anita: This is it...
The three sisters arrived at another unknown place...
Anne: Where are we again...
Mysterious Voice: This is Sekhmet's lair... You three are blessed and gifted with the power to defeat him... Now... Go...
The three sisters step further to the lair...
Sasha + Sekhmet: So you are the ones who dare to oppose the Dark Lord's will... Don't worry, I'm going to give you all quick and painless death...
Anita: Bring it on!
Anne: You are so gonna die!
Sylvia: *loads pistols*
And so the Three Sisters finally fought Sekhmet with all their might...
Though gifted with additional power... they find it hard to defeat him.
Anita: This is taking too long... I don't know if we can make it.
Sylvia: Don't lose hope... He's going down...
Anne: I feel tired... No! We must do this...
Meanwhile
Amethy: Dark Lord's Forces are retreating...
Doriane: Bunch of cowards...
Mysterious Voice: Amethy... Doriane... the sisters... they need everyone's help...
Amethy: What is it that we must do?
Mysterious Voice: Tell them to concentrate their thoughts to the sisters... Fear is the source of Dark Lord's power... as long as there is Fear...
Doriane: I don't have that fear you are talking about...
Mysterious Voice: Courage is not absence of fear... it is the resistance to fear that is what we can call courage... everyone must have courage in their hearts... Be quick Angels... time is running out for them...
Doriane: Ok... let's do this... everyone gather up!
Amethy: I'll lead them... People of the New World... our battle against Dark Lord does not end here. There's a battle currently being fought by the three sisters, they need our help... even though we can't help them physically let us take our time to quiet down and concentrate... remove the fear in our hearts... we've set aside all our differences... we are now one... we have different views... but same objectives...
There was a great moment of silence...
Tiny creatures of light suddenly appeared and rose up the sky...
Mysterious Voice: Hope... Faith... Trust... these are what the three sisters represent... Now it's up to the sisters... the decision of the fate of humanity.
Sekhmet's Lair...
Anne: I cannot hold much longer... *gasp*
Anita: No, we won't die like this...
Sylvia: *keeps on attacking Sekhmet*
Anita: Wait! What are these apparitions? The people! What are they doing here...
Anne: They seem like the real thing...
Sylvia: *tired*
Pioneer Apparitions: We're here to help you... now let's take this demon back from where he came from...
The three artifacts became to glow brightly again...
Sekhmet: This can't be... I'll wipe out all of you... Raaaaawrrrrr....
Sylvia: It ends today... right my sisters?
Anne: Yeah!
Anita: Yarrr!!!
Pioneer Apparitions: Charge!!!
Sekhmet: Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!
Sekhmet explodes into oblivion...
The sunlight peeped through the dark clouds...
Cherry blossoms began falling down from the sky
The sisters once again found themselves floating at a place they don't know.
Anne: Mysterious one... where are my sisters?
Mysterious Voice: You all have done well... you all have served your purpose.
Anne: Will I get to see them again?
Mysterious Voice: Of course...
Anne: When? Where?
Mysterious Voice: No one knows... maybe a different place... or a different time... a different identity... but surely when the day comes again... though you will never remember anything...
Anne: Is that so? Well could you just give us a chance to spend our time together?
Mysterious Voice: As you wish...
There goes again the blinding flash of light...
The sisters find themselves at El Lago de Tres Hermanas...
Anne: Gee, I think you two wished the same thing too
Anita: Of course... If I would die or something at least I want to spend my time with you and Sylvia.
Sylvia: What a heck of a day isn't it...
Anne: Okay! Group hug...
Anita: I love you Anne and Sylvia...
Anne: Love you too Big sis
Sylvia: Sisters till the end....
As the three sisters walk towards the lake... they disappeared...
THE END
OR IS IT?
