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
Diamant Memories of the Dead
The hall was filed to the brim as many people tried to be present for the union. They watched as the priest declared Natty and Malik as husband and wife. The new couples were overjoyed.Soon enough it was time for the ball. The instrumentalists got into action and the music filled the air. The ballroom looked so beautiful.Diamant felt someone tap on her shoulder while she was trying hard to look for Sunain in the crowd. She could hear little whispers and when she turned, Aaron was smiling at her."Shall I have this dance, My Lady?" He asked her with a smile and she could see DL once again.She stood frozen for a second while all she could hear was DL's voice saying to her."Shall I have this dance, my Ania." She could still even feel his warm hands on her. But why? He was dead and she had made sure of it. Why were this memories everywhere she turned?She accepted his outstretched hand and Aaron started dancing with her.But with each step they took, she remembered him. For her, it wa
Diamant A Pick
"What were you doing there alone, Diamant?" Aaron questioned when they got to Diamant's room and she still kept quiet.She turned to him."I saw him, Aaron. I saw Dragon Lord." She whispered to him."That is impossible, he is dead." He chuckled at how ridiculous this sounded."I know! Aaron, I know!" She shouted and started pacing around the room."I fear that I am losing my mind. Aaron, I think I am crazy.""Don't make such ridiculous conclusions." He said not believing her notion and not liking it either."Then why do I hear things others can't hear?" She questioned and moved to him quickly."Aaron, I see things others can't see? Isn't that madness?!" She hushed at him."No. We will be going to Doctor Rika in the morning." He tried to comfort her."No!" Her voice cut him off harshly. "There is nothing he can do to help me and I know it because I have already asked for his help." Diamant said, her face cold."I am crazy." She whispered and went to her bed."I am crazy." She continue
Diamant The Flaming Visit
"Nein was not around for the meeting. Nana, what was he doing? Was he sleeping with his countless harlots while getting drunk again?" Aaron asked and Nana's face twisted with hurt.She had come here with Aliyah for a different reason. Aliyah had told her about how Aaron had beat a certain man up because he had danced with her. She had come here to convince Aaron to marry Aliyah. She didn't trust Diamant and if Diamant became the Queen, she would lose power. But Aliyah, for her, was someone she could control. Wasn't she already blinded by the love she had for her Grandson?"I see. Once a spade, always a spade." Aaron said with spite to his father."I will see to it that he gets his work done. Don't worry, this won't affect the collection of the taxes." Nana tried to calm him down."You'd better." He relaxed and sat back on his throne."Well, I came here for a different reason." Nana said with a smile and Aliyah bowed her head coyly."What is it?" Aaron asked, his eyes questioning."We
Diamant Repeated Conspiracy
He laid her on the bed and she looked back at him tiredly. He tucked her into bed, the candles he had just lit allowing light in the room."I don't know what to say. You did so much to save me, Diamant." He said while he sat next to her on the bed.She swallowed hard and closed her eyes."I thought I would die." She said quietly and he place a hand on her forehead in a bid to comfort her. She was burning slightly."I think you are sick, Diamant. I will get Doctor Rika here as soon as possible." Aaron said and stood up but Diamant stopped him."No! I think I am just so scared and I feel a little odd with all that roaring." He looked at her trying to see if it was true and she gave him a convincing smile.He came back and sat next to her. His eyes filled with affection. This woman had done everything to make sure he stayed alive, even to the point of sacrificing herself. She could have left him all alone there but she did not. She stayed for him, she must love him without her notice. I
Diamant Proven Worthy
Nana stepped into the room with a tray of teacup. She placed it on the table while Diamant watched her suspiciously."Who is that for?" "You, of course." Nana scoffed."I don't want it. Who knows, you might have had it poisoned." Diamant said and turned to the other side of the bed, her back to Nana."That is a great choice but I didn't poison it. Still, I wished I had." Nana eyed the teacup with annoyance and marched out of the room.Someone ran into her the minute she closed the door."You should watch where you are going!" She shouted at the person."I am so sorry, Nana. I so sorry." The person hurriedly said while trying to reach for Diamant's door."Wait. You look like one of the dungeon guards. You are, aren't you? It is only the dungeon guards that dress the way you do." Nana pried."Nana, please I am here for something important. I promise that I am not doing anything wrong. I only came here to see the Mother." The guard said hurriedly."Well the Mother is sick and why should
Diamant A Little Off
"Sire, a dungeon guard has been found unconscious in the dungeon! Minister Li has escaped." Lewis reported breathing heavily.Aaron stood up angry. He paced in the room."Has he been attended to?" He asked deep in thought."Yes, Sire. He is with Doctor Rika as we speak."Good. Take me to the dungeon, I have to see it myself." Aaron ordered. "I hope you kept guards there so that no one would disrupt it's original state, I need to know how Minister Li escaped." He said walking to the door."Yes, Sire. I did." He said, hurrying to catch up with him.******************************After looking at the dungeon and seeing that struggle surely had taken place and Li had skillfully escaped from them, Aaron wanted to see Sanji. It baffled Aaron that Li could break away. It had been a long time since anyone escaped from the dungeons and this was a blow to him. Why had it been under his reign?When they got there Nana was just leaving. He didn't say a word to her, he had to see Sanji quickly.

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
