Diamant Swaying Emotions
They approached the cave in silence, each one thinking about how things had turned out terribly in such little time. When they got in, they prepared a little fire and started going through the small bags with them that Diamant had mandated they had taken with them. Diamant frowned at the numerous bottles of herbs in her bag. She didn't really have much of anything else. She had quickly grabbed on them before leaving Alusa and she was glad she had learnt a thing or two from Sunain. Although, they hadn't seen each other before Diamant had to leave hurriedly for Canilus.She looked to DL and her heart clenched. Her decision seemed to weigh down on her and once again she couldn't help but doubt herself.What was wrong with her? It was just one arrow, one arrow laced with sleeping herbs! What was the big deal about that? Why should that allow her to see him in a different light?! He was still what he was, still who he was. He was still a murderer, he was still her punishment! Nothing had
Diamant Unexpected Betrayal
He was never one to wake up late, not with the hard trainings his grandpa gave him but today was an exception. The rays of the sun that creeped into the cave almost blinded him when he opened his eyes. He brought his hand up to shield his eyes and rested on an elbow. He looked around, adjusting his eyes to the light.He found Diamant who was pulling a shirt on some distance away from him. She tied her long black hair up into a ponytail. She turned to him and he remembered. He remembered their close moment had only happened yesterday. He wanted to smile at her but her hardened face stopped him."Finally, you are awake, my Lord. We would have set out at dawn but the rest was needed for you. I have surveyed the area and I have noted everywhere the guards are that is close to the cave. I hunted, so there are some roasted meat for you to eat. We must hurry, Dragon Lord..." Diamant cold voice was cut short."Drako" He corrected.Diamant clenched her teeth. She didn't want to say his name, s
Diamant Decisions
"I love you." Aaron said again desperately seeing the way Diamant was doubting herself. He took a step closer to her and DL instinctively pulled Diamant more to his back."It is pathetic for you to claim that you love her." DL said dangerously low to him."And it is pathetic for you to keep her behind your back without a reason. What? You think she will pick you? You are the reason her life is in a mess!" Aaron scoff in annoyance.Diamant sucked in a breath at that, it reminded her why she was in this situation in the first a place."I will not allow myself to fall at the feet of any distraction." She remembered what she had said and her mind was made up."You are already nothing. Why would she pick the side of the one that destroyed her life?!" Aaron concluded spitefully.DL looked away, embarrassed and angry. He had nothing to defend himself.Aaron smiled in his head with satisfaction. He looked at Diamant and stretched his hand to her, urging her to take it."Come on, I am waiting.
Diamant A Gift
His face was hard with disapproval, he looked darkly at the small muscled teenager who was panting heavily on the floor with defeat. "You haven't even fought me yet and you've already lost." His hard lips barely moved yet his cold voice penetrated the silence.The teenager swung up immediately, blinded by frustration and fury, he swung his sword at the man who easily step sided his greatly flawed attempt. The teenager fell again and the man hissed in annoyance. He took his stick and hit the teenager with it in one instant. His movement was so fast that the only evidence that it had happened was the cry of utter pain coming from the teenager and the teenager's aching back."Do you know why you will always fail like this? Because you are afraid of me. You believe that I will defeat you easily because I am the fear." The man said then crouched to the floor. He raised the boy's head with his stick under the boy's chin so that the boy could look at him.The teenage boy was shaking from c
Diamant Turned Tables
"Finally, a dungeon you can call yours out of experience." Diamant's cold voice rippled through the silence. DL looked at Diamant who was standing outside the bars, her hands held behind her back as she stared back at him coldly. The torch provided just enough light to see her twisted lips. Goben stared at her too, rage filling him with every word she said."I am afraid Lucius already beat you to that." DL replied offhandedly."Then it is one served to you by the cruel hands of betrayal." She said."That, you are right." He chuckled darkly. His back was hurting terribly from sitting too long like that but he didn't feel bothered at all."You betrayer!" Goben shouted at her, shaking with rage but Diamant looked back at him calmly through the bars."Don't make such mistakes, Goben!" She clucked her tongue playfully before she resumed talking. "I had already warned that I would be his dog as long as he had the chains, you should blame him for losing the chains so easily. He was fairly w
Diamant Mother
Then it started with just one voice, maybe that of a child, a young person or maybe even an old lady, it didn't matter. All that matter was it started and it was all the people chanted."Mother! Mother! Mother!" They were all shouting and Diamant had to look away from DL's roasted and dead body. She looked down to the people praising her for liberating them."Mother of Alusa! Mother! Mother!" They kept on chanting and Diamant looked at Aaron, her eyes conveying her surprise. He looked back at her surprised too but he smiled back at her in encouragement.Diamant stepped down from the podium and started walking into the crowd. Warriors came to rally her immediately to guide her from the seizeless touch from the people but she stopped them. She walked further into the crowd till she disappeared and latter reappeared on the shoulders of two people lifting her up while the people kept on praising her.She looked down overwhelmed and she smiled blindly at them. She had won the people and n
Diamant Fading Peace
The closer the burning body moved, the more her heart raced with fear. She stepped back mindlessly, her eyes not leaving the DL's burning body as it moved closer to her. They were there again, just that this time there was no crowd calling her Mother. There was no Aaron sitting on the throne, no Nein, no Nana. Just her on the podium and DL's burning body.She could feel the blazing heat. She looked up at him but his face was burnt, black and some of his burnt skin were falling to the ground."Go away." She whispered out of fear as she stepped back but it kept following her. She looked around quickly if there was something she could throw at it but there was nothing so she continued stepping back till she finally hit the wall. Her hands felt the wall and her heart raced knowing she was trapped. Her eyes turned glassy with fear and she looked back at the burning body that was still walking towards her."No!" She screamed but he didn't stop.When he got close enough, the heat engulfed
Diamant A Strategy
Today marked three months since it had all happened. The distance between he and Clara grew, the void strong enough to devour them. Three months of her acting to him like he was a total stranger. It wasn't like he wanted to keep track of how long this had cut him, he just had no choice but to watch time go by and his heart die slowly.This wasn't the love he had hoped for. This wasn't what he had wanted when he betrayed the Dragon Lord.He hit the wall again and kicked it severally. This anger in him was raging, the hurt running through him and he had to just look for a way to push it all out."They drive us nuts, don't they?" He heard a voice and turned around."Your Majesty." He bowed immediately, paying Aaron respect.Aaron made a sign and he stood up."They drive us well out of our minds." He commented with a smile and Lewis rubbed his aching knuckles."She won't still talk to you?" Aaron asked."Yes, Sire. She now hates me." Lewis replied heartbroken."But you will still do ever

Unfree Freedom
As much as she wanted not to feel pity for him, there was a sense of unison in his grieve, a depth and pang of guilt that she could understood, one that she could also feel. She felt a tear run down her cheek, she didn't know if she was grieving for her pain or his."We have so much in common." He said looking down at her with a tinge of a distant smile before his eyes held a glint in them."Let us start again, Diamant. From the very beginning like all these never happened."She looked quietly at him as he brushed away her tears. Her eyes glinted with hope of survival and escape but his next words held something within them, something that held so much significance but could have almost been missed."Let us start from the very beginning, my woman. We have so much laid out for us, let us not ruin it. I forgive you for everything you have done, let us put it all behind us."His voice hit different strings in her. From a slow consideration to confusion, realization then silent rage.Forg

Memories of Raining Nights
Except for the clanking of the utensils against the plates, the silent whizzing of the fire in the fireplace and Aaron's unanswered questions that still hung in the air, the dinning room was silent. "Do you like the food?" He pressed his hand against his fork with slightly more pressure as he asked her again. His gaze were fixed on Diamant who sat by his right in a long blue dress. Her shoulders were tensed and she made sure that she stayed eating during this unwanted lunch so there would be no reason to have any conversation that he would likely force her to, which he was already doing.Aaron watched her closely, his eyes slinted with observation, "you are doing this on purpose."She took a goblet of water and drank before rushing back to her food.He muttered something harshly to himself under his breath before taking another bite of his food.He was tired of this. It had been over a week and although she ate well now and gave no trouble, it was like she had decided to act like he

Sneaky Old Ways
He spoke against her neck while he pushed her legs apart with his own, his hand slowly went beneath her back, crashing her to him. She moaned a little at the sudden movement, reaching her hands up his neck.He knew it all, where to touch that would get the best reaction. Old ways were sneaky, they always found a way to creep back into a person's very being. Old ways were dangerous.Her legs hurt, she wanted so badly to take off her heels but even now in the midst of her crazy emotion, she knew the basis rule and followed it as always.Beauty was pain, and she was beautiful."And it isn't for you either. What kind of mess have you found your self, Naturella?"She moved up for him to kiss her. There was so much urgency for her to feel wanted, needed... loved."You talk too much, Hector."She felt his firm hands pulled up her gown by the slits, a cold breeze blew her legs letting her know how exposed she was and she felt the roughness of his trousers against her bare thighs."It was st

Too Many Quick Flashes
Like a beating heart ripped away from its duty, snapped suddenly during its pumping yet pumping still, his heart feel heavy and filled with pain. Pain that he couldn't describe. He felt lost, miserable and without a sense of direction. Nein's heart felt totally hallow...void. The woman he had trusted all his life, loved and respected had turned against him and wanted to seize the life of the one he had brought to the world, one that he loved even though he knew he would never get loved in return.Maybe he deserved it, like his mother said.Mother...?He chuckled weakly then he coughed, dry long coughs that erupted through his chest each time, threatening to tear him apart.Could he call her that? A mother? He could still see her burning on the cross in his mind and everytime he remembered, grieve seized him. As much as he hated what he discovered, he couldn't help but remember how she had protected him with her life at all cost, how she had risked her life all the time to come and se

Hands Getting Out Of Hands
Blinded by an unexplainable rage, Aaron tightened his fists on Malik's neck till suddenly he pushed him out of his grip. Malik's hands went up his neck, glad to be free while he stepped quickly away from Aaron. He focused on his breathing like he was trying to get all the breath he couldn't get before.After a while, he looked up at Aaron then he saw his shaking hands and he gasped lightly. Aaron heard him and snapped his face to him, his eyes sending warnings that even Malik's swollen eyes could see.They stayed like that for a while in silence before Aaron sat on the ground exhausted. It wasn't until then that he felt his hand bleeding and aching from Malik's previous struggle to survive."You...""Don't say it," Aaron said breaking his sentence short. Malik slowly sat next to him."It's getting worse," he whispered, his voice laced with concern."I have it under control.""You almost killed me!"Aaron scoffed, "but I didn't..." he muttered to himself then pointed at the sword dug a

The Good Old Way?
The meeting didn't go well, not one bit. Some tribe leaders had taken it upon themselves to be absent, in a way to show their displeasure of how he was ruling.Or maybe it was about the rumour...the one he had killed a long time ago. Was it suddenly gaining strength again?No! Absolutely not! He had put an end to it. It can't be the rumour.This was supposed to be their first meeting, one that should have been held a long time ago. Only the leader of the fire tribe and his wife had been present, even Skull Dwelling hadn't sent a representative. Those gang of crimimals!Although he had expected that would happen, the people from Skull Dwelling were rugged and highly daring. They were doing all their appointed duties just fine, one can't get a lot of taxes from places like that but it was a great source of labour. They weren't ones for a talk around a table and they made that clear.He ended the meeting, furious. How bad could the morning get?!Too much things were happening. He was

New Shade, Old Shade.
"I hate seeing you like this, I really hate seeing you hurting." He said with concern and a flash of anger in his voice, then he rested on one of the pillars around the bed, his eyes still on her."What is so wrong in you loving me? I really don't ask for much, you know? Just stop running away from me and accept your place by my side." His left hand shook slightly and he quickly grabbed it in the other, blinking furiously before his face went back to its relaxed state again.She tried to say something again and his attention was fully back on her. His eyes lit in excitement and he stepped forward taking off the gag from her mouth. She sighed in relief once the cloth was off her mouth. He stood there, his face set inches away from hers, waiting for what she had to say. Then suddenly, She spat in his face, conveying all she thought of him in that one act.He straightened himself up slowly, reached for an handkerchief and wiped his face clean with it. Surprisingly, he didn't take any of

A Different Shade Of Him
He whispered something to a guard next to him, his eyes still fixed on Diamant while he spoke. The guard soon left in a hurry. Aaron walked down the short stairs slowly not taking his eyes off her for a moment. The wind blew softly and he shuddered lightly from cold, drawing his robe closer to him.She pushed her captive away from her grip roughly. He fell to the floor, stood up immediately and scurried away from her with his sword and armour clanking loudly.She felt wild and furious. She took quick angry strides to Aaron who was now down the stairs and watching her with a silent smile just like a predator waiting patiently for his prey that was walking foolishly walking into his trap."How long?!" She was breathing heavily from anger, her lips trembling slightly in rage.He looked around to see how much attention they now had. His face was blank and his eyes looked confused, feigning ignorance."How long what?""Don't you dare lie to me, your Majesty!" She snapped at him and a slow

Layers Of Surprise
Aaron closed the door then went to the bathroom pushing the door opened to see a quivering Aliyah on the wet floor while tears streamed down her face. Her face twitched in pain. He stepped in and he saw her visibly go stiff.He scoffed before crouching before her and pulling her slowly to her feet so that they were both standing. She felt weak in his hands like she could fall if he wasn't holding her and she felt...hot.She must be sick.He squinted his eyes at her, then he noticed the now turned red cloth wrapped around her upper left arm and he gave a sharp short hiss.Aliyah flinched."You are sick, aren't you? You shouldn't have come," he said with a gruff before leading her to the room which she followed along without a fight. He made her sit on the bed then fetched a bowl of clean water attending to her cut.She relaxed a bit, her gaze fixed on the floor. She had stopped sobbing now."You are always doing this... demanding," he said quietly.She heard him squeeze the cloth into
