Mission

Flashbacks 

"Don't hurt my wife" Jules shouted at the tikbalang, but the tikbalang still hit his wife

He got upset and rushed at the tikbalang but the tikbalang immediately took action and attacked the man

His wife was cursed by Anggitay that she will remain an elf until their child grows up and their child defeats their clan and other creatures

Since then, the man who is Daniel's father has not been seen

Present Time

   Daniel learned the truth that his mother, whom he had been looking for for a long time, was now with him

Daniel didn't know what he was going to feel because it was full of anger and sadness

"But grandpa Jemmy, is my father dead?" Daniel asked his grandfather

“The tikbalang and anggitay have a human body and a horse's chin, but the tikbalang is a man and the anggitay is a woman" Jerwen interrupted their conversation

"Why do you know?" Daniel asked Jerwen

"Because that is the story of my father who is also a friend of your father" Jerwen answered him.

        “By the way, why are you here? You just appeared from nowhere” asked Daniel

“Well, I have superpowers too. I can teleport!” Jerwen replied

“Lucky for you, you now know what’s your power whereas for myself I don’t really know yet what power I possess. I need to know more about this gift of mine” Daniel sat down with a sad face. 

   Night falls, Jerwen decided to have a sleepover in Daniel’s home

     While Jerwen is snoring and is sleeping soundly, Daniel couldn't sleep at all

He decided to look out the window, he noticed something strange that seemed to be burning in the distance

He woke up Jerwen and they immediately went out to see what it was

So they went there despite the heavy rain

They didn't realize that they were already far from where they were going when Daniel asked Jerwen

    "What kind of creature is that?” “I don’t really know but it’s cool”

   "Let's go, we have to follow it" They heard a voice of a woman coming towards them

They were so scared that they had to hide in the bushes.

   When all of a sudden 2 young ladies approached the ball of fire

“Aha, finally we are here” said Charmelle

While the other lady named Alliah, was catching her breath they were frightened by a sudden movement in the brushes

“Ahh!!” They screamed

Charmelle slowly approached the brushes to check who was there

When Daniel and Jerwen stood up it surprised Charmelle and ran towards Alliah.   

    "I think we were reunited” A familiar voice echoed through the forest

Claudine was standing at a distance and was smiling as if there was hope in her eyes

“Greetings my dear chosen ones. I was the one who sent the santelmo. I am glad that you all gathered here tonight" She said

“Uhm, what exactly is a saltemo? Alliah asked confused

"All I know is that it's called santelmo so we can't catch up, we were truly reunited" said Jerwen

Alliah was about to say something to Charmelle when she suddenly froze and remained silent because he saw someone in the distance that was Amomongo, a man-sized ape with long nails.

  Charmelle asked Alliah “Wow, for once you are silent today what’s wrong with you?”

Then Alliah whispered “Don’t move” while pointing at a distance

“Oh I’m not the type of person who can easily be pranked” Charmelle laughed but when she turned around…

    There was an Amomongo staring at them with hunger in his eyes, he was ready to devour them.

But luckily Daniel was really fast and stabbed the creature in the back

The Amomongo was furious and fought back, they all ran and he chased the counters

“We need a plan” said Alliah

“Oh let’s confuse him, let’s split directions” Daniel replied.

         All of them ran in different directions to escape from the Amomongo.

Daniel ran until he reached the edge of the river, he looked back to see if he was being followed by the Amomongo but when he made sure no one was chasing him that’s when he stopped running and catching his breath.

He looked at his surroundings to search for an easy route to get back with the others since he was not familiar with the forest

While looking around he noticed a figure of a person sitting beside the lake.

He could not clearly recognize the figure of what he saw, so he decided to come closer. 

   When Daniel got closer he saw that this person had the tail of a fish and he realized that it was a sirena. 

      Daniel went away as soon as he saw her but when he turned around, there was the amomongo behind him

The siren saw that Daniel needed help and she called him

"Hey, come here, I'll help you. Just don't be afraid of me"

Daniel didn't know if he should believe the siren or not. 

         The amomongo came closer to him so he had no other choice but to run to the sirena’s direction

The amomongo attacked them but the sirena quickly pulled him under the water and the amomongo could not reach them

They went to another part of the river and Daniel got up quickly to push the amomongo into the water and the sirena quickly pulled the amomongo but the amomongo quickly moved and fought them both.

Alliah’s POV

       While the vampiric birds were chasing us, I distracted them

Jerwen took the opportunity to teleport us in a different direction and made a small portal in front of the vampire birds not so far

I finished them off with the use of my powers.

Another load of vampire birds were coming right at us and were about to attack us. 

    Claudine and Charmelle arrived just in time and killed the vampire birds that were trying to attack them

"Hurry up while the other wakwak are still far" Claudine said. 

        They ran as fast as they could to get away from the vampiric birds.

"I didn't know that you had that kind of ability, Jerwen" Alliah praised him

"You were very cool with your power though" Jerwen replied.

Jerwen has the ability to teleport so they were not aware that it is also possible for Jerwen to make a portal

"We don't have time, so let’s hurry and look for Daniel. He's not used to being alone, especially when this forest is enormous and full of creatures we still don’t know of" Claudine told us.
