Diamant Death's Flamming Jaws
When did Lewis get there? His clothes were tattered, he looked lean and the chains that once held him in bondage were scattered on the floor next to his bare feet.Lewis looked at the prisoners. He had once shared the same prison with them, once had mercy for them yet they had turned against him. Aaron's smile was blinding and Lewis picked the sword from him feebly. It felt like he hadn't held a sword in years. He felt drained of strength that he had to hold the sword with both his hands as he breathed heavily.Aaron turned away, walked up the podium then took his place next to Diamant.Minister Gu stepped forward, his eyes calm, his face relaxed. When he finally got to the beheading stone, a slight sad smile tugged at his lips. He looked up at Lewis, his eyes saying a silent apology but Lewis's eyes were concealing like he was forcing himself to look straight ahead. He could hear the crowd muttering but he couldn't even turn to look at them. Why should he? For someone like him who
Diamant Beware, She is Unstable
Diamant heart skipped a beat and she looked away, till she heard Nana's painful screams and incessant cry for her to be saved."Diamant, save me!!!"Staring at her struggle against the fire while she cried out for help, while she cried out her name, twisted her stomach in knots.She had seen this before...it had happened before.She felt heat rush over her, she could feel the heat of the fire like she was the one on the cross. It felt like everyone disappeared and it was only the burning cross with Nana on it and her on her seat.Her hands coiled around her armrests. The sweat dripping down her neck made her hair stick to it. Her eyes filled with fear as they widened, her breath coming out rasp and loud."Save me! Help me!" The scream penetrated through her mind, echoing in her ears.Then images flashed before her eyes. A burning skeleton approached from the fire, coming directly to her. She sunk deeper into her seat, it was here again. She thought she had already blended with it, tho
Diamant Flirty Insanity
After the execution, the palace had fallen into an unusual silence. It felt like a cloud of despair and grieve was over the palace but for Clara, it all felt usual. For a long time, she had beared this heaviness.He must have been here. The room felt so alive, she could almost smell the sharpness of wet wood in the air.Just like Lewis... The teacup clinked as she placed it gently on the table. She wouldn't want him to see her here, as much as she wanted to wrap her arms around him so tight that he would desolve into her, she could feel a great wall had grown between them. Maybe she was no longer his Star, who knows?Just then the door creeked open. A shock wave crossed her body making her stay fixated on a spot.The blast of hot tea rushed into his lungs. He sniffed the air, it smelt like hope, like Clara. Then he saw her and looked away quickly. "I...I was j-just leaving." She made quick uncalculated steps towards the door. He stepped aside and walked to his bed, throwing his boo
Diamant Ticking Suspicion
Diamant jerked vehemently in bed, her eyes flew open and she sat up. She looked around in a hurry, taking in her environment. The flickering candle on the candle stand made her calm down, she stood up slowly, feeling dehydrated. Her lips felt dry and and she lifted her hands to her burning throat."It was just a nightmare," she whispered to herself while she gulped down a goblet of water.Something felt awfully wrong with her. It felt like she was loosing her mind. She still remembered what had happened between her and Sunain like a flickering thought seeping into her mind. Was she breaking under pressure? Sometimes she felt like she was herself, other times she felt she wasn't. She sighed, exhaustion making her legs weak. Every muscle in her body felt too weak. Her mind was completely troubled. Asides all that had been happening to her, she couldn't let herself forget that there was still something in Landrus's dungeon she must retrieve before its absence would be noticed.Fear rush
Diamant All Shades Of Sketchy
"No, what is your name?" Diamant smiled."Klaus, my Lady." The first guard said."And you?""Ranto," he said quickly under his breath."Thank you, Klaus and Ranto. You may go back to your business now." Diamant looked away from them and back to the muddy prints on the floor.Before she was confused, now she was very confused!She waited to feel their departing presence but it never came. She looked up with a slight glare."Why are you still waiting here?" "Our job is to keep you safe, My Lady," Klaus replied."So the palace isn't safe?""Nowhere is safe these days," Ranto muttered to himself.Diamant heard that even though it didn't seem like it was meant for her ears. She tightened her grip against her gown and smiled at them broadly."Alright then, excort me to my room, if you may.""Gladly," Klaus replied, his voice still stoic.When they turned around and headed for her room, Diamant could see guards scattered around, some stood rooted to a spot while others paraded the ground.
Diamant To A Certain Uncertain
She heard someone strick a match behind her. Diamant made a round about turn quickly. Her mouth parted in a low gasp and she creased her forehead in confusion.There stood Sunain with a cloth wrapped around her, her grip tight on her chest. Water dripping off her hair while it stuck to her face, a flickering candle in her other hand. Her eyes held fear and her shoulders stiffened. "D-diamant?" She whispered.Diamant blinked, she took a step closer to her and Sunain quickly took a step back making Diamant stop in her tracks."This doesn't make sense," Diamant whispered to herself, her gaze on the floor stained with scanty drops of liquid."I saw you!"Sunain looked at her, her eyes filled with questions. When she stepped closer again, Sunain stepped back like she did before."How did you come in? You were not in here before," Diamant said, flickering her eyes to the door quickly. It was still shut. She looked up at her again."I. Saw. You." The words pushed forcefully through her teet
Diamant A Little Visit
"Quite a lot, my Lady." His tone was calm, devoid of any trace of tiredness.Diamant set her position, looking carefully at her target before raising her bow and sending the the arrow flying across the room. It planted itself firmly across the wood and there was a spark in her eyes.She had been a little distracted and had missed the spot she was aiming for by a disappointing distance."Is there anyone by the names Klaus and Ranto amongst the palace guards?"Lewis sucked in a deep breath, deep in thought."I do know Klaus but I don't know who Ranto is... Then again, they are so much, I can't know everyone."Diamant looked at him quickly, her eyebrows furrowed in confusion. Her lips parted in an attempt for her to say something but she shut it back. It felt like everyone was playing a mind game with her. She eyed him suspiciously and Lewis felt uncomfortable under her intense gaze."Is anything the matter, my Lady?"She bit her lips and looked away. She had got lost in thought and not
Diamant Switching Identity
"Raise your chin, Amelia. You ain't going to hide under that ghosty hair forever." Amelia? There must have been some mistake! All the information felt jumbled up in Diamant's head. What was it about the scrolls? What was he saying? Was this man drunk?! They couldn't have been useless, she had been working on them for a long time now! Then she heard people muttering as they rushed into the room. "Hey, it's the new gal." "Such trouble she is." Hearing that, her mind thought fast and she decided to play along. There was still something she was missing and she felt an overpowering need to find out. Somehow, she felt that this was the way. "Excuse me..." She heard someone say hurriedly then she could see a pair of black muddy boots appear before her. As her eyes were fixated on the floor and her scrolls, all she could easily see and judge them by were their boots. "It is my fault, Leader! Whatever it is!" The owner of the pair of boots said hurriedly with a breathless voice, it sou
