Diamant As Planned
Diamant woke up in a warm room, she looked around and she saw Sunain. "Before you go running off, tell someone." Sunain scolded gently with a smile of relief.It was still at night and it was still raining. Sunain must have changed Diamant's dress because it wasn't wet. The whole of Black Mask sat around her in their usual hideout. She looked up and saw DL, his face stoic. She looked away, her mind playing back what had happened."They knew we were coming, I was in their carriage." Diamant said answering the unasked question that lingered over them."You saw them?" DL asked as his voice cut sharply through the silence."No, the darkness and the woman's hat, I couldn't see their faces. But the man seems like a minister, considering his robe." Diamant continued trying hard to remember as she relayed everything that happened to everyone."You are important to the Master?" Malik asked in surprise."Well, that was what I heard. I don't even know him, I don't know this Master." Diamant sai
Diamant Too Late
"What are you doing here?" Diamant exclaimed. It wasn't even time to leave yet, was it?"Our carriage will be waiting at the Moon's Bench. Your name will go by Ania and I will go by Giston. Aliyah has written a letter, they will be waiting for us and they presume that we are married. That way we are going to share a room and able to watch each other's backs. The letter says we are from the Stone clan, Aliyah has written the letter so well, important people from a lot of places are going to Canilus for the yearly festival so we won't be suspected. Also, a lot of preparations have been made to secure our fake identity." Roc said all of these only after ensuring that no one was in the room and the door was firmly locked, still he said it all in a whisper. "We are been sent to Dimitri, Canilus' minister of external affairs. I was sent to tell you all these before our departure."Diamant nodded as she walked a little distance away."So how is Rina?""How about her?" Roc asked blankly as he
Diamant The Mad Moon
Canilus was beautiful, well the King was named after the kingdom. The whole kingdom was so colourful as they prepared for the festival, it was all so colourful.Diamant took the mirror and looked at her face again, she could barely recognize herself nor could she recognize DL who sat across her in the carriage. When they got to the gate, a guard knocked at the window and it was opened."Sir Giston and my wife, Lady Ania from the House of Chandra, the Stone Clan." DL spoke and the guard went through whatever he was holding and if Dimitri did his job well, they had nothing to worry about.Dimitri did a great job because they were now in one of the guest rooms in the palace. Diamant sat across the room in front of a mirror, patting her neck mindlessly.DL had come to the conclusion that the person who attacked Roc was one of the numerous ladies he had crossed paths with. The impeccable timing was only a coincidence.DL sat down silently, he had pulled off most of his robe. He could see t
Diamant A Trap
Diamant woke up with a smile plastered on her face. She had a great night full of warmth. Speaking of warmth, she felt like she was in someone's embrace. She looked at that the bed and what she saw threw her mind into shock.For how long had she been in his arms? She struggled to be set free and DL woke up. He let her go."Why would you hold me like that?" She questioned, really angry."You were having a nightmare and I had to hold you close to me." DL said his ever confident voice flattered.She stood up in rage and stared down at him. "Those nightmares are your fault." She said with angry tears. "You can't do anything to take them away. You are useless."Immediately he stood up and was right in front of her. He was angry too, his eyes darkened as he felt he had been greatly insulted. "Remember your place, Slave." He said to her maliciously while they stared daggers at each other."My place, yes. I shouldn't always forget it the way I do." She said and stepped away from him. "But lik
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
