Diamant Pulling Strings
With his arm across his face, Li stare at the ceiling. He could hear the loud chatter of guards outside, the little insects making their usual noise at night, the slow burning of the wood in the fireplace that kept the little room warm and illuminated. He could hear almost everything with how silent his mind was. The loudest to him was the noisy breathing of the guard naked by his side as she cuddled close to him under the thin cover cloth covering away their nakedness.Then slowly his mind went stormy and his eyes went blurry with tears. He blinked it away, his eyes still focused on the ceiling.He just hoped that this sacrifice would be worth it.******************************Li entered the dungeon, his eyes casted to the ground. He mumbled to himself, then he looked at his sister who smiled feebly at him. The guard followed closely behind and when he was settled, she chained him back to his post. She smiled broadly at him then gave him a forehead kiss before disappearing into the
Diamant A Stagger From Oblivion
"I know." She whispered while she slipped to the ground. She didn't care for her gown while she sat on the floor, although they made a loud swishing and rumbling sound because of how big they were. She brought her knees up and rested on them her chin."I couldn't sleep last night, I haven't been able to sleep at all." She went silent for a while, too long that Lewis became worried. He almost turned to look at her, even if she was resting her back on the bars, he would at least be able to see if she was fine. He started moving but stopped when he heard her sniffle. She was crying.He gritted his teeth and said nothing. He had a feeling this was all going to be over soon, dragging his life along with it. How could it make it hurt less for her? Would pushing her away do it?"I stood angry at you for so long long, why had I done that?! I wish I hadn't done that." She broke into tears again. "Forgive me, Lewis. Please forgive me."It went silent again sve for Clara's soft sobbing."What
Diamant A Glimpse Of Something Wicked
Diamant walked in with the specter and a torch in one hand while she dragged a bag of raw meat in the other. The smell of flesh and blood filling her lungs. She could hear Landrus breathing but she couldn't see where he was then her eyes caught two blue light shining in the darkness."I am sorry I haven't really had time to come and see you. I brought you some food." She lifted her eyebrows at the bag on the floor. Landrus huffed and slowly emerged from the darkness. She stepped back, the space becoming too little with every step he took. He looked at the sack then set to it a blast of fire. He feasted hungrily on the meat, Diamant watched, her eyes gleaming with satisfaction. Soon he was done, he laid on the floor with his head on her laps. She stroke his head and he purred. She felt at peace and protected, it felt like her a great weight was lifted off her shoulders. Even if it would be only for that moment, she wanted to enjoy it. Suddenly, Landrus lifted his head, his ears perk
Diamant Flickers Of Unplanned
Diamant walked into the room hastily, her hands searched through the surface of the table and everything she could check."My Lady," Clara's shaky voice cried out while she grabbed her vase tightly to her chest."Is there any problem?"Diamant turned to them, different thoughts running through her mind. She had searched everywhere!Could it be that her thoughts about Doctor Rika was wrong but Minister Gu said they were in the plot together. If he had left an antidote to heal Clara, then it meant that something had gone wrong and he had backed out. Her hope was wavering. Had they, perhaps, lied to her?Although she suspected that Lewis was innocent, a part of her even completely believe it but if she didn't see prove, there was nothing she could really do. "My Lady?" She heard Clara call out again. Diamant snapped out of her thought, her eyes zeroed on the vase Clara cradled tightly to her chest. She stepped closer to her and without warning dragged it out of her grasp. Before Clara
Diamant Duck For The Shooting Mess
Nana's heartbeat spiked immediately when she saw Aaron's squinted eyes. She gasped in shock, "You must believe me, I am your grandmother!"His look towards her didn't change, sadness flashed in her eyes, "I will never do such to you, Aaron." She whispered to him, her voice begging him to believe her."DL was your garndson too, Nana. You had fooled us, gathered us as you did months ago. Our motive was for Alusa's greatness but yours was the throne!" Li stepped forward. He was lean and weak, the chains on his hands clung together and Mei Ling held him tightly. She looked small compared to him. Her once long shinny black hair was now tangled with dirt."I don't know what you are talking about!" Her voice thundered before she sprung her head in Aaron's direction."Your Majesty, can't you see that this is all Lewis's plan against me? Why do I deserve this?" Her eyes pleaded, her eyes looked distraught."Stop accusing my mother, you criminals!" Neil stood up, his stomach tumbling along with
Diamant Too Fast A Pace
The hands around him pulled him back roughly. Someone twisted one of the arrows further into his back. The pain shot in his head, his legs went weak and he crashed against the floor. His scream penetrated through his mask as he curled and uncurled on the floor in pain.Aaron's breath hitched, his chest raising and falling. He raced down the stairs and drew away the mask off his face. He staggered back at the sight of his scar filled face. The warriors had dragged the Twin up, so he was standing although if he wasn't held, he would fall forward.Aaron accessed his scar filled face while the Twin looked back at him with bitterness in his eyes."Pathetic people with faces, your blood wants your death." The cold words melted against his heart and he gritted his teeth. "You are not from here." Aaron said in a voice that was fighting being overcame by the pain of betrayal."This isn't treason either, my loyalty is to whosoever I give it to."Aaron looked at him questionably. Shouldn't he
Diamant How Does Your Medicine Taste
Nana broke into laughter while tears ran down her face. Her tangled red hair had now fallen down her shoulders."Such loyalty to my grandson and yet he has not recognized your dedication for him. I know of your sacrifice..."Malik who was now close to the bars turned slowly to her. He forced himself to stay silent while her eyes held his gaze.Satisfied at having his attention, Nana pushed."I know of the woman, the one you loved. All these sacrifice and all he has done is make you a dog and him, your master."Malik tightened his fists so much that he could slowly feel his hands got limp from restriction of blood flow."I can help you. Let me go and I will give you everything you ever wanted, everything that my grandson has refused..." An angry slap swept across her face making the remaining words died on her tongue. She spat out blood and barred her bloodstained teeth at him. His eyes were filled with raging anger."Your words are like the words of a Witch, they are poison to the ear
Diamant A Bitter Pill To Swallow
"Nein...Nein...my son." Nana stood up quickly but the weight of the chains coupled with her weakness brought her back to the ground. She stood up back, more carefully this time, her face lit with a smile of hope."Mother...." When he came into the view of the little torch the dungeon provided, her smile fell. The corners of his eyes looked sulkened and his eyes were red, like he had been crying."You don't look alright. What happened? Is it about me?" She tried to reach for him but the chains restrained her movement and the heaviness made her drop her hands back. She looked down at her chained hands, her heart heavy with doubt and pain but she looked up at him with hopefulness."Don't worry, I will be out soon. All I need you to do...""You did want to kill him, didn't you?"His silent voice cut her words shut. Her smile slowly fell again and she blinked rapidly."I begged you," he stepped closer to the bars, "I begged you not to touch all I had from Daniella. You know how much I love

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
