A Milpha's Rage (Born of Hate and Shadow Series) Chapter 8
“Umm, mister Etlar?” Huh? A girl (actually, I couldn’t tell her age) was staring at me expectantly. Not only that, but she had called me by my first given name, which only a few people knew. Okay. Let’s retrace a few moments prior to this event. I entered the room I was given to prepare for my meeting with the director. My mind may have been wondering, but there is no way I would have missed another presence. I can at least be sure of that much.I took in the girl’s (again, I couldn’t get a read on her age) appearance. She had an ethereal type of beauty, something only spirits and divine beings could achieve. So she is one of those, but I am willing to bet she is the former. Divine beings should not have any business with me. After coming to that conclusion, I replied to her question. “Yes, that would be me. Can I help you with something?” She immediately stood up and curtsied. “Lady Aritia has assigned me to you. Please allow me to accompany you.”She was serious? Is this her way of

“I’ll take the pain. Every single thing thrown my way threatens to break me down and tear me apart. Yes, even through the chaos of hell, I won’t give up my faith.”—OrionElsewhere…In a place seemingly everywhere and nowhere all at once, white was the only visible color. Arranged in seemingly endless rows, strange devices with large glass cases attached in the middle were lined up, each emitting an eerie light. The cases were filled with some sort of clear liquid and within them were humanoid beings.At the moment, only a few appeared to be functional. They resembled hibernation capsules a renowned researcher had invented, but these were vastly different. And while the beings inside were indeed in hibernation, most of them looked more dead than alive. The contraptions purpose was to keep the bodies in suspended animation, but perhaps due to some malfunction, many of bodies held within were already decomposing. These devices were visible as far as the eye could see. In total

A few hours ago. —Estelle—My thoughts ran in a downward spiral as I walked down the lit caverns we were currently exploring. Since everybody was busy, I had come with only one of my companions, a female elf. To make the expedition more smooth-lined, I had hired some explorers to do the heavy lifting. We were only to be informed when something important was discovered. As it turned out, something was found. As I followed behind our guide, I glance to the side, where Astra was following along with long strides. This body had developed quite nicely throughout the years, so I couldn’t really say I had the same insecurities as I did a few years back. That said, when I had companions on Astra’s level, I couldn’t help but be envious. Still lost in my thoughts, we arrived at what appeared to be an unnatural opening in an otherwise natural cavern. The smooth walls indicated it had been curved out by something bearing intelligence. I was hesitant to dub it man-made, after all, what I

Part 2 - A Milpha’s Path.“A Milpha’s power was great, but so was their restriction. A Milpha gained power in exchange of becoming a slave. A slave to the world.” —Rein◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇None knows how the whole world came to be. Most assume it was always there, while others state there is no point losing sleep over something which would no doubt remain a mere speculation. Even longer-lived races had this question at least once in their lives.It is true. Higher beings do exist. Some humans, especially those infatuated with history, were almost certain this was true. However, only those who had evolved at least twice could say it with certainty.However, for most races, evolution was close to impossible. Humans rarely did, and it was the same with therianthropes. Demons could, to some extent, evolve, but that was de

Ah, so this is a dream... I suppose nothing ever changes. A dream of the future, a memory of the past.I watched, through eyes which were both mine and at the same time not, as a tragedy far worse than anything I had ever experienced transpired. It was at this time that I made my vow, that I hardened myself to do what needed to be done, no matter what.This one-sided thinking often cost me.I've always wondered whether I was doing the right thing. Childish, some may call me, for willing to go this far over a simple grudge. I don’t care. Childish I may be, but there are some things I will never forgive.For an ending—my ideal ending—to occur, I need to sacrifice them all. Without fear or remorse. ‘Killing is wrong?’ Those were the words of an impassioned fool. So what, save strangers and leave friends to die? No. That will never happen, no matter which personality I assume. If I don’t do this, nothing will ever change.Besides, it’s not like I’m the one needed to perform th

Cold wind brushed her face and spread her hair, making it fan out behind her. She grumbled under her breath as she ascended the many steps to the top of the mountain. Despite the subzero temperatures, she had not worn heavy clothes. Her pointed ears peeked out of her silvery hair as another gust of wind caused it to come undone and fan out behind her.And neither had the person she had ascended to look for.“I had a feeling I would find you here,” she complained with an annoyed sniff. “You like stargazing too much.”“…It’s not a matter of liking or hating it. I’m simply compelled to look up at the night sky because it remains the same,” he said with a nonchalant shrug. “No matter the era. No matter the world.” He said the last sentence silently, but she still made it out. She closed the remaining distance between them and stood beside him.Leona breathed in through her mouth. Her younger brother’s sudden appearance hadn’t been unusual, but the state he had arrived in was. I

Kyra rubbed her temples in exasperation. She had already been briefed on what had happened, and she couldn’t help but cast an unbelieving eye towards Astra and Estelle. The former looked her in the eye without batting an eye—not that her expression ever changed—while the latter glanced down at her feet while fidgeting with her forefingers. “…I think my ears aren’t working well. Can you please repeat all you’ve done?” she asked, her voice dangerously low. “Okay.” Astra replied evenly. The air was tense, but despite it, she showed no outward sign of anxiety. This was not an act on her part. She simply thought the problem wasn’t hers to deal with. Meaning she threw all accusations on her companion without so much as a hint of hesitation. Kyra listened to everything they said, her brow twitching all the while. “Let me get this straight,” she paused, before releasing a profound sigh, “You activated an FRA? An admin class, no less?” Astra nodded empathetically while Estelle wis

What is time?What does it represent, what does it mean? I’ve asked myself that for countless centuries. And then I met you. Someone who is undefined by time, yet at the same time, so intertwined in it.You, boy, made me come to a shocking revelation.Time cannot be stopped. This intangible thing we call time can enslave in the truest sense of the word. This intangible thing can be expressed. It can take shape and interact with the multiple worlds in existence, all without the knowledge of people. I can choose those to favor and those to scorn.And in your case, it chose to guide. Never again shall you be free of time, never again shall you walk in your own path. It doesn’t matter what you do. It doesn’t matter what you say.For those bound by time live on in an endless and unchanging hell. I should know, I am one of them.But the one thing you should know, is that you can form it. Mold it the way you want it to play out. Guardians of time take the brunt of this responsib
