“Alright Heithcliff boy! I wish you get out of the grasps of that grumpy bastard because it is not worth it to be that guy’s slave! Take care! Please make sure to write to me or call me through magic stone and I will surely response whenever!” Heith awkwardly pat Novelle at the back and back away with a wry smile, still undecided what to feel about this sudden friendship that had come to his way. While Mattheus is just grumpily looking at the sky outside the window, wondering how many time do they have left before the opera start. “I will surely call and let you know the comments I will hear Novelle! Thank you so much for your effort! Goodbye!” Novelle just gestured an ok sign before he smiled with all satisfaction while marveling over his simple creation. They didn’t do much really and just patch up some fabric together. He used something sticky like glue to patch everything that can last till tomorrow. It’s a black sli

Fancy clanking of cutleries and glasses were grabbing Heith’s attention towards the melody that is being played by a musician near their table. He is not having the finesse of mood in this dinner because people around them are gossiping like lowly country nobles who horribly failed their etiquette class. The journey is rough before they could take a seat in Millefleur once again but instead of occupying a private room, they were in the public dining in with others who is buzzing like bees on their side. ---earlier half an hour ago. Mattheus pulled Heith’s wrist that made the man bumped his chin to his head when he looked at him, retreating his gaze from the strange actress and someone who arrives. He automatically let go of him. “What’s wrong? That hurts…” Heith said while rubbing his chin. Mattheus is frowning and was doing his best no

Thourne Mansion, Florence Capital. After finishing his mask, Heith is ready to go and was about to jump from his window when all of a sudden, a figure came out from the shadows at the corner of his room. He has a tall build and black luscious hair. His golden irises was like a glow of predator at night that one wrong move, you’ll get caught by its fang. Unlike his usual bubbly attitude and comfortable atmosphere, his aura changed completely. “Where are you going Cygne? Your attire is not appropriate for an outdoor walking.” Precise and straightforward, his words didn’t make illusions of flowers and bubbles anymore. Even though his past self is kind of annoying to him, it is still better in his current attitude. Cygne just shrugged his shoulders and cover his mouth. Slowly, the mana inside the room swirls like condensing gas from a concoction. But before it could escape the room walls, an invisible

Unknown. Heith was dumbfounded to see that the person he thought was an assassin or some sort of a guard that sent to check who is the invading party that landed on their territory was this kind of an idiot. Who would have known that he will not dodge the object coming his way in an obvious speed? If he is an idiot, what this guy would be? An underling? That sounds plausible that even Matt think of it that way. He rubs his bloodied face due to a wound that had opened from the impact of that thing. He has this black hair that resembled of one of the notorious family in the kingdom. Somehow, Heith felt sympathy into this person. He seems younger than a few ages towards him. The silence that is growing seems getting into Matt the sound of groans assaulting his ear seems annoying enough to make him speak up. “Should I say thank you?” Heith blink his eyes before he shrugged his shoulders and went back to his

Dust and compelling cold and heat was clashing with one another with two figures striking each other’s blade with intent that could kill anyone with a weak heart. Jumping from the ground, his speed gain more by kicking into the air, releasing bursts of mana that he put into the sole of his feet to became a platform for force and so he could reach him faster. Cygne strike his sword diagonally and hit the side of his cheek that made a thin line of blood slowly seeping out of it but Timothy twisted his body to twirl and went out of his range, lowering his body during the spin with his blade aiming for his ankle tendons to prevent mobility. Unfortunately Cygne had seen his plan and quickly kick to the air once again and went to his side, following his direction turning his weapon into the thread he mainly uses. The thread with a cross shape end floated in the air and quickly strike into his forehead which surprises Timothy and changes the direction of his aim

Timothy

Timothy. I had a very old dream. I was three and there is no light but darkness filled with screams of terrors and despairs filled my ears. It made me scared to the point that tears were already flowing out of my eyes. The space was cramp and I am hugging my knees to fit myself in quietly inside. “Oh my, my! Please don’t cry! We are doing this for salvation and that will only be achieved if you meet adam and eve! Hehe! This is our salvation and with this you’ll be part of us too and we’ll live together forever! Isn’t it wonderful?!” Madness and maniacal, there is no sanity in her tone and what followed after was the sound of the knife hitting the board, making me flinch whenever it sounded like rhythm drum making a sound of final tribute to the souls that departed. There’s no warmth and light is a luxury that the likes of us cannot grab even if we prayed for

Another day has come, this is different from the usual morning I have. Felt light and refreshing, I went out of the house with full of energy. It felt like there is a new purpose for me to get up today and the day the next day and so on. A smile grazes his lips which had attracted unwanted attention. Another bunch to be added to his Romeo’s plate. The punches, the kick and slamming of the body seem so normal that it doesn’t hurt me anymore. “Give us your money and we will spare you brat! Hurry up before I kill you!” I couldn’t help but smirk to such remarks which had cause to them to beat me more till I cannot talk to argue to them anymore. I am about to retaliate and give them the most brutal outcome but someone barge in again and to my surprise my heart skipped a beat upon seeing him again. It ain’t about seeing the love of your life. That someone you will spend the rest of your vitality together, it is that some

I felt fear that he might leave any moment now. Seeing that the path is familiar from the ones I just stopped him from going, he asked me if this is the right place. I have no choice but to answer him honestly. I can see that he is unusually quiet and I can sympathize with him. “We are near.” He nonchalantly answered yes and I didn’t talk back and just went ahead to hide my guilt that is slowly getting bigger as we are going nearer to our camp. I gulped hard when I notices that we have arrived. I wanted to make him turn his head and walk back but instead I just said what I needed to say. The illusion wall that my parents had put up to distract anyone who is going into our camp went down and the horror inside was laid open for him to see. I am surprised to see him laughs and chatted to mother like they are talking about the weather and their common likes. I felt a pang in my chest. I felt betrayed. I felt like I went to fals

The mind is lost, stares into the unknown. A spell of unknown beginning shall cast to the one that doesn’t know any. Gritting teeth not shown to the smiling peers with same faces and mind. Horns are nothing to their wickedness and fickle schemes. None the wiser or the inherent being to understand, no one will know and so they too neglected the thought of being a fool – taken advantage under their nose. Illusions and nightmares, paranoia and disillusions, a mixture of everything to distort reality from present but then nothing happened. Stare to the void, drool trickle down the chin laughter started to create symphony. Bliss of nothing and hollow feeling, why? “With this shall we rejoice?! Reigns the entirety and crown the strong!” A snake shed it skin and the others followed. But one remained still, eyes watching devoid of everything. Unmoving like mountain and speaks no language, letting the ingrates be drunk t
