Alves didn't really know how to process what was right there in front of him. It looked like a third degree simulation. He was right to mistake this for several other things. But then, he was in an otherworldly environment and things like these were only natural to happen. But he could never had imagined that there would come a time that his body would split into two. It still didn't make an actual sense to him. He was staring at his other self. Though it wasn't quite hard to tell which of the two he really was. Of course the giant was his Ri and the other normal reflection was himself. "What else from here?"He muttered, not sure of what else was going to happen. He didn't know whether or not to expect something quite unusual. Everyone was still bowing to him. Even the voice in his head wasn't working anymore. How could it? His Ri was right there next to him. Only if he would speak, then Alves would know what next to do. He slowly got up on his feet. His real normal body. The g
"Count yourself dead today."Alves walked past Akulia, almost knocking him out of the way. He kept on walking as the maids which were making an aisle in the hallway bowed down to him again. He hardly paid any attention to them. He kept on walking till he bursted into the hanger. "Just follow me."He called over his head when he heard the hurrying footsteps of Akulia closing in from behind. He got to the jet and did the motion. The door lifted to him and he climbed up. Akulia got on too. The motion of the vehicle was ignited and it was suspended in the air. It started to leave the area. As soon as they were off the Ja Hall, the noise from beneath started coming again from the people within the vicinity of the super huge Palace area. Alves didn't seem to be interested in the shouts of the people yet. And he didn't even give an instruction to the jet yet. "Are we going to the other Palace? I mean the usual?"Akulia asked but Alves didn't say a word. Akulia took it upon himself to di
"Oh... hi..."Alves turned in the direction of the door which had just opened. He was pooling with his own sweat. But he was back to his normal sense. What was quite interesting was the fact that he never thought of changing back to his normal self. He was still thinking about it. It was as though his Ri took the favor on his behalf. He was bare chested and quite jumpy. He quickly took a glance at the back, perhaps he could see to the other side of the jet where the dragon was. His gaze was back on Mia who was still staring all stunned and speechless. "Heyy"He started to close the pace between himself and Mia who was still by the door. "You should wait inside the room, I'll join you as soon as possible."When he saw Mia's eyes, he noticed that her eyes were glued on his body. His chest. She seemed to be more mesmerised by the muscles in his chest. He thought. Alves could tell that much. He wanted to enjoy the moment too, but he had a couple things to worry about. The last thing
"I do know that you are still mad at me."Akulia started, looking from one corner to the other. His eyes seemed to be too busy for the brain. "And by extension I do not have a say in all of th--""Then shut the fuck up. Who asked for your opinion in the first place?"Alves snapped at him. Akulia didn't see that coming though, but because he wasn't on a good page with Alves all along, he didn't really make a deal out of it. Even if he did make a big deal out of it, what could he had done at that moment?Alves got up on his feet and started to walk towards the exit of the living room. He walked out and was walking towards the garden. He had walked for a while in the garden when he took a turn in the garden in the direction of the pool. He got to the pool and halted. He removed his cloth and dived into it. He went deep down into the depth of the blue pool. There was this strange soothing feeling which coursed through every corner of his body and settled in. It was unreal, utopian as we
Alves suddenly had a strange feeling deep inside of himself. He didn't know what to make of it first until the old woman got to him. And before he could tell what was happening, he felt the whooshing of warm and sharp air directed towards his face. His reflex would had come to his aid, to deny the possibility of events to take the usual turn. But it had happened regardless. A smack across his face. A tough and hot slap. Alves' jaws tightened as soon as the slap landed on his cheek. He didn't know what to feel at that moment. But one thing which was for sure was the fact that even if he was pissed out of his mind, there was little to nothing he could do. Even if he wanted to carry or breed a hybrid of argument, the old woman's lips was starting to move,"Why did you send my second away...?"She let the words out. The words hit hin so suddenly that Alves didn't know when he muttered, "Huh?"Grandma had continued almost immediately. She was not even going to give him a cool. "What a
Alves turned to look at the jet for the last time. But it seemed as though he was expecting something else. Though on the ordinary, it seemed like he was staring at the jet which was across the lagoon, but then deep inside of him there was a sort of longing. Though the feeling was not fetish or too strong, but it had a soft push to it. But then he quit looking. "Fuck this."He spun around at once. And immediately he spun around, he felt a presence behind him. As though some eyes were set on his nape, creeping on him. But he didn't turn to look at the back anymore. He started to walk up the forest. The forest which led to the lake. AKULIA. He heard his Ri talking to him but he didn't care. Of course he already had the feeling that it could only be Akulia that was staring at him, standing behind him. NOT AKULIA. The voice in the head came again. "What!"Alves halted at once. He didn't turn yet, not because he wasn't curious. but he just wanted to make sure that he was hearing th
There came about seven sabres in his direction, and they came too quickly that Alves could not avoid any. Not even one of the swords. He could feel and hear metals tearing into his flesh, and shoving his inside to the side. The pain was severe and excruciating. He had meant to stand up at once to fight these men off, but he wasn't even given the chance to take a perfect stance before he was ambushed and stabbed at every corner of his body. He dropped on his knees. Blood was about streaming from every part of his body. The sabers were in his chests, sides and legs. There was no part of his body that didn't have a share of the pain which was travelling across his body in a great and quick velocity. With pangs.He could hear the men saying some things but he couldn't understand them. One thing was the fact that he couldn't make meaning of what they had said and the other, he had no idea what other fate would fall on him. But then he did know that one would be at the mercy of the other
"Do you think he will be alright?"The young man asked, looking at his father, an old man. The old man was the best friend of Casper, Alves' grandpa. And the young man, the old man's son. "He hasn't even moved since we brought him in and it's been three days. Is he dead or something? Didn't you tell me in the stories that the monarch of the kingdom cannot know what taste death has? Or has everything being a sort of ---""Why are you so loud?"The old man snapped at the young man at once. The lad looked a little disappointed. It was obvious in his eyes that if he had his way, he would keep on arguing. But somehow, he couldn't bring himself to it. "Will you let his Eminence take enough rest. Who knows what he had been through. And if you're bored sitting here. You could excuse yourself and go do something with your life. At least go on a date with any woman from the dating app."The old man advised. And after those words of the man, the young man got up on his feet. They were both se
