Sadie speaks out calmly, “Welcome my Lord,” she says as he gestured toward a chair with his hand,

“Someone should tell me where the hell I am" Jake decrees before someone barged into the palace, in a gown in their early 30s as she stared at Jake. who gazed at her. Sadie raises her head, as she sighted the princess.

“Princess Beatrice do not stare into the eyes of the god of the dead” she commanded sternly. “Do you not know who he is? He is the God of the Dead”

“What!?” Beatrice exclaimed, “He's the god of the dead?”

Sadie nods her head as she stares at Jake, who continues looking at her blankly.

“Princess, can you wait outside for now?” Sadie asks him bluntly as she crosses her arms over her chest.

Jake's brow furrows as he looked around the room, “Can someone explain what is happening, I was in the desert, and boom, and right here surrounded by strangers?” he demanded. “ And who are you referring

They walk through the rows of seats and stop in front of the altar. “So would you not mind telling me about the creatures disturbing the villagers?” Austin questions “Yes my lord, we all face the rage of the witch, Melina. She placed a curse on the kingdom before she died years ago” Sadie explains “Died years ago? , how did she die” He queried looking at Sadie adding a pitch of particle to a boiling liquid. “She was burnt alive by the villagers after placing a curse on them to kill her if any of them were to discover their secret”“How did she cas

    ERA CITY 07:25 AM Inside a room with the walls all in metals, an alarm buzzed beside Ray who laid flat on the bed as he shrugs still unstable. He stands to his feet with his eyes still closed as he made his way towards a door that appears to lead to the bathroom. As he entered he was greeted by his reflection staring back at him and as if he wasn't already feeling dizzy he could swear his head is spinning even faster. "Fuck." He groans rubbing his eyes then looks down at himself as he saw blood smeared across his chest. The sight alone makes him sick. He quickly turns the sink on, running the faucet until it's just cold enough to be comfortable. He grabs a towel from underneath the sink and wraps it around his waist then starts the shower before stepping under. His hands shake as he grips the edge of the countertop as water runs over his skin. It takes a while for him to calm down enough to wash the blood off his body and when he does finally get out of the shower. Ray walks

We don't wanna be stuck like this forever”"Do you think you could find anything?" Ray asks curiously.“Maybe...it's hard to tell though, but if it helps us get out of here we could try...you could sleep on the bench outside” Billy suggests.“Alright” Ray responds. “But I don't want to leave you alone for that long”Billy shrugs, “It's fine dude, I don't mind”“If you say so, but I don't want you falling asleep,” Ray states as he starts to climb to the back of the truck, “come on” he motions for Billy to follow him as he reaches the top of the cab.

Did you find something important?” Shizuka asks worriedly“Well...there is nothing new on the cameras at the school, but the security camera outside showed that they saw something unusual when they arrived” the guard replied. “But then the footage stopped, so we were unable to see what happened next”.“Is there any information regarding the person who sent those ninjas?” Zane asks.The guard shook his head, “Not that we know of, sir. They wore masks and used a strange language to communicate to their leader”.“It could be someone who is trying to keep us ignorant...” Toma points out.“That is possible, but...”“I agree that is probably the case,” Zane

Roy gets up and starts following her, keeping his distance from everyone else, knowing that they have many questions they want to be answered.When they arrive at the bottom of the stairs, Kori opens the door to one of the rooms, entering before Roy. Roy quickly follows her inside the room and closes the door behind them. He stops walking and turns around to face Kori, “So where do I begin?” he said.“How about the beginning” Kori suggests.“Alright….so let me start by asking you a question...why do you think I’m going to stay here...when I should be trying to find a way out,” Roy asks.“There is a good chance that this mission will turn into a battle. If we stay here until then, the army will capture and use you as a bargaining chip. While that may seem harsh,

    “You never did tell me about the explosion," Roy asked while staring at kori “You saved us...you saved the entire city," Kori replies. “From what?” he asked while staring directly at Kori with the image of a lady flashing before his eyes. Kori walks closer to him while kissing him gently on the kisser. Roy closes his eyes and kisses her back, savoring every moment with her. The two continue to enjoy each other's touch, enjoying the feeling of happiness before pulling away. "I'm sorry Roy" Kori apologized quietly as she looked down. “What?” Roy asked confused by what she said “Why are you apologizing? What for?" Kori glances at Roy briefly before looking forward again “It’s just...well...we've both known that we're soulmates since birth. I don't think we’ve ever told each other that we love each other or even admitted that we were attracted to each other. Even though we knew we loved each other, we didn't say anything.

    “Okay, I need to grab something out of my backpack. Stay with me, Roy. Please!” he says while walking towards the tree and pulling out one of the many bags he’s carried around. He opens the bag and begins rummaging through it once again. Then he finds what he was looking for: a small box with a few bottles of liquid inside. He quickly runs back to Roy and kneels next to him as fast as he possibly could without losing balance. “We have to get you into my tent, alright? It’s our only chance.” He places the first bottle of saline on the ground and takes the box out of his pocket, opens it, and puts a couple of pills in his mouth. Roy watches the man drink the water in his mouth and then spit it out immediately, almost choking on it as he continues to look for the proper medication. After gulping two pills down he sets the empty bottle aside, and then picks another one up and pops it into his mouth. “Here, take this one,” he says as he hands Roy the bottle, then moves to pick him up brida

    Roy could hear whispers then he opens his eyes to find himself being pulled across the hallway toward the exit that shone a bright light on his face. His body is hanging loosely from the straps of a chair. He groans slightly as he feels every movement his body makes as he is dragged across the smooth surface of the floor. He tries opening his eyes again, but he sees nothing except darkness for miles and miles. Then something hits him across the face hard. Pain shoots through his right cheek, making him close his eyes again. Then another blow. And another. Then something slams him on the back. “What kind of father do you think the general is? wanting his son dead” he could hear someone talking outHe’s thrown across the floor outside, as the got searching sun burnt through his eyes. later he hears the door close far from him, then he could hear footsteps coming closer to him.

    Back to Reality

    Roy wakes up to find himself floating by the side of the river all drained and wet with some glass pierced right into his stomach. His whole body feels like it’s on fire, from the waist down. The pain radiates throughout his entire body, not just his abdomen but his entire arm and leg are covered in blood. He tries to move his hand, but he can barely budge at all. A dull ache pulses through his head as well. As he stares into the dark water he notices the faint glow coming off of its surface of it, the reflection of moonlight against the dark green water. The air around him is still. Roy can hear nothing except for the sounds of his shallow breathing. Then there’s a movement out of the corner of his eye. Roy turns his head sharply as he hears footsteps approaching him. The sound doesn’t seem very loud though. Maybe they are underwater?The figure emerges out of the shadows. “What the hell happened?” says a familiar voice. That’s the guy who found him. It’s gotta be a trick of his min

They find a table outside and sit down to eat their lunch.“Have you ever been to the library before?” Trisha asks after eating.“No” Roy admits. He has always liked learning new things about other countries but there were some subjects that his father wouldn’t allow him to study. He was allowed to read historical novels about various countries, but nothing more.“I think I’d like to visit someday soon” Trisha admits “Perhaps after the festival is over”“That sounds great. Are you planning on coming here tomorrow?” Roy inquires hopefully“Maybe” Trisha responds quietly. Suddenly, Roy feels her tighten her grip on his hand. The sight causes him to turn to face her, noticing that her cheeks are bright pink.“Trisha” he says worriedly as he reaches out towards her “Is everything alright?”“Yes,” she says hurriedly “I mean yes I’m fine I’m ju

    The next morning Roy wakes up from bed feeling normal, strong, and healthy. He walks out of the tent only to see several soldiers and officers walking around the area. They were dressed in uniforms, and all seemed very busy.Roy notices a woman standing near the tent. She is talking animatedly to someone who is standing behind a wooden bench. As he gets closer he recognizes the woman. She’s wearing a blue dress, and she’s chatting away with one of the guards in Arabic, both of them laughing together while pointing to something in their hands. One of the guards places a hand on the woman’s hip, and they share another laugh while leaning into each other's embrace and resting against each other for a short moment, which ends in them embracing fully. Roy looks at them for a second before turning back towards his destination. He spots the boy that he had spoken to earlier lying on the ground, still sound asleep, with a bunch of toy sheep laying nearby.The boy suddenly opens his eyes and s
