Yani's eyes sparkle in amazement. He watches every student walking to the onwards school. The circle around, diving into a fantasy and many exceptions about school. 

"Yani," He stared as his new friend greeted him. 

"You frighten me, Blaze." The young show his boxy smile. 

"Are you ready for your first day?" The brunette cheerfully nodded. 

"Don't be nervous." Blaze pats his shoulder. He entered a clamorous classroom. Thinking some of them know each other while he is only a stranger n that certain place. He put his bag, waiting for his teacher. He leaned his chin in his palm, even though nervousness was crawling in his mind. Rodolfo agrees to send Yanni to school, he's the right age. While Granny sells their crops. This life continues until Yanni reaches grade school, along with his first friend, Blaze. 

He graduated in colors and Rodolfo, as father, was so proud of his one and only son. Many people asked about Yanni's mother,. he only answered.

"She's dead, because of labor." Lies the only answer. Diyan told this story before they got seperated to save their littles one. Diyan expected that Sitan and Kapitangan would never hesitate to kill or vanish her in the mortal world.

"That was so funny," Both children laughed on the way home.

"You shouldn't do that to Mrs. Baravilla." Their advisor in contrary, Yanni is the best and most smart-witted student in school while Blaze-- 

He's the bratty one, usually doing pranks and teasing against his teacher or even a student. That is the reason no one bully Yanni, they'll face the fire of Mark Daniel Blaze. 

"Still, you laughed." A happy and cheerful happiness filling the conversation of both friends. "Wait, you want some snacks before we go home." They held their track in a store selling candies, chips and many more. (In the Philippines, there's a place called Sari-sari store where you can buy anything like spices, candies, chips and more even alcohol for men who are drinking in front of the store.)

"Ah... yes, Father requested to buy some spices for dinner. He caught a dozen of milkfish." He answered noticing a group of men drinking alcohol and bubbling around. One of them greeted Blaze and Yanni. 

"Oh, children, you should go home early, '' they folktales said. A fireball came up to the children wandering alone in the dark deep forest..." The laziness of his drowsiness in alcohol told in the story from his grandparents. 

"Friend, that was not true. It's called Santelmo, it's known in many as a fireball of the protector. They come down here on earth to protect little children in danger." The other man interjects, tapping his friend's shoulder and agreeing with his statement. Both men and the children laughed at their jokes and bid goodbye to each other, meanwhile along with the drunken men, a cryptic  man quietly watched and stared at the certain person. He looked lustfully at the young boy, fantasizing the body of the child. 

"Hey, Magno," his attention snapped by one of his drunk friends while the man, Magno, smirked, planning a plan against the innocent Yanni, beside him, a demon fairy saying a lustful thing to the Chosen One. 

~~~~~~~~

"Yanni, are you sure?" Blaze asked a worried glance to his smiling friend, they needed to part their way home. 

"Blaze, I already know the path and beside. It only took not far away from the farm." Yanni cheerfully complied with the mere fact that the bad gut feeling to Blaze, still, did not remove. "Don't worry, I'll be alright." Yanni assured before, walk the way to the farm.

~~~~~

Yanni singsong walking to the farm, he felt someone following him, as a little boy frightened a ghoul who's eating children's organs. He ran into his life until he reached their home. On the other hand, the drunken man is the one who is responsible for a noise to scare the little boy. He smirks and follows the boy, he's been stalking the little boy a while, the beauty and flawless makes the man crave for lust. 

Yanni reaches to drop his bag and changes his cloth while the man peeps into the little holes that he created while both Yanni and his father left the house. The drunken watch as the boy removed his cloth, he had a mental disorder called voyeurism. No one in the  village knows his secret. Yanni goes outside of their house and takes a shower nearby. Revitalize and continue without knowing someone watching him. He fantasizes the boy underneath his gasping. He waited until the boy finished his shower and wore his plain  shirt and brown shorts. Magno decided to take action, making his fantasy come true. An idea pops out in his mind. 

Yanni prepares everything to cook dinner for his father. A knock gramble his thought, he immediately opened the door revealing the drunken man a while. He's sweating profusely. 

"Yanni, you need to hurry." The man panting like an emergency happened. 

"W-what happened?" Yanni asked, while his heart beat fast and throb. He thinks something bad happened. 

"Your father, he's hurt.You need to follow me." The man stated, smirking on his acting. While the innocent boy who's worried about his father got dressed and followed the man. 

Meanwhile, 

Blaze worrying sick, his heart beating so fast like something wrong. He decided to go to their house. Then, he saw Yanni with the man in the store, along with drinking men. 

"Yanni," Blaze noticed panting breath out of his breath almost crying. "What's wrong?"

"Blaze, something happened to my father. Please call granny for help." Yanni painted. Blaze wants to ask more, but, inside of him, there's something wrong.

"Yanni, hurry up. We need to go before something happens to your father" The man drags the boy, to make more suspicious, however,he needs to do the deed for his first friend. Blaze followed his friend's order and went to his grandmother for help. On his way surprise, he saw Rodolfo in the store

"Oh, Blaze, what's up?" The older ruffle his hair. Rodolfo noticed the expression of the boy.

"Wait, there's nothing happening to you?" Both older confuse and look to each other even the vendor

"I saw Yanni along with Mang Magno." Blaze almost has a heart, he's puzzled about everything.

"You mean, Magno and Yanni are together." The lady almost yelled and handed her chest.

"What's wrong? at least my son isn't in danger." Rodolfo confidently said.

"You don't know, what are you talking about?" Everyone in the store started to worry and become more terrified of the next statement.

"Magno is the Danger."
