"Uhm, Son, I must say that I'm utterly shocked that you are asking about your dad at this moment.""Well, I just want to know more about him. You know, I'm just curious to know what my father must have looked like. I want to know if I ever look like him."My mom suddenly burst into chuckles, which took me by surprise. "Wow, son, I'm really impressed to know that you want to know more about your dad. And of course, you look just like him. Your dad is a fine man. When I say a fine man, I mean the most handsome man I've ever met."In my heart, I prayed deeply for my mom not to describe the features of the man I had seen these past few days. If that was the case, then that only means that I was done for, and that is totally something I can never accept, no matter what happens. "Go on," I stated, watching my mom intensely. "Your father, like I said, is the most handsome man I've met. He has this aura around him that makes me feel he is like a god or something. He has this beautiful scar
*********A month later.........I walked to class nervously, not knowing what awaited me. I was terribly nervous because that was my first day of school after the incident that happened months ago. Getting to the car, I clenched my hands tightly on my bag, shut my eyes and took in a deep breath. How I will be addressed all depends on my first entry. Deep inside, I knew my life would never remain the same again once I walked through that door to take a seat. But then, at the same time, I was silently wishing for things not to change. I will possibly face the eyes of revenge and anger. Who knows? Since it was a waste of time stalling at the door, I made up my mind and quickly rushed into the class in one go. The moment I got in, the class was all rowdy, and when they noticed someone was in, they all turned towards my direction all at once. What I saw next almost took the breath out of my chest. The class suddenly went dead, instantly. The eyes of the students all dropped immediate
I quickly walked to class, only to find a rowdy class with everyone talking here and there. This was strange, no matter what happened, the students never got that rowdy and noisy before. "August, you're here," Jedai said, running towards me."What's going on, Jed, why is there so much unrest in school today?""I guess you haven't heard about what happened then?""Huh? W...what happened?" I asked, almost in panic. Juedai breathed a huge sigh and quickly pulled me out of the class to a quiet corner. "It is said that Mr Stone is dead.""What?! Y...you mean the principal?""Exactly!" Jedai answered in a whisper. "His death seemed to be mysterious and weird," Jedai added. "Could you please elaborate on this?""Well, according to the school authorities, the principal stayed up late at night, going through our exam sheets since the exams were coming near, but then, he didn't go back home until midnight. The security guard went to his office to ask if he was going to stay the night but
I quickly dashed to the other side of the street, and what I saw, immediately sent me thumbling backwards, frighteningly. I quickly found another dark area to hide away from the street lights. The person screaming was a lady, and something like a monster stood in front of her. I saw a dark fog like that of an evil flame, which possesses people. He grabbed her by the neck and pulled her up in the air, so her legs weren't touching the ground anymore. He seemed to be strangling her while she gasped for air. Cold shivers ran down my spine as I watched the heart-wrenching scene in front of me. I should be helping this lady, but here I am shrieking with fear. What will become of me if I go out? I'm sure whatever it was might also strangle me to death. But I just can't watch it take another soul right in front of me. It would be cowardly of me to watch that happen."L..let the woman go," I said in a low tone. I held the metal bar in my hand strongly, just in case it came for me. The m
I have been in the wilderness of nothingness for centuries and I had no idea what was happening beyond the wilderness. I'm also ignorant about the havoc Black must have caused in the mortal world. Knowing what Black was capable of, I'm sure he must have caused unrest in the mortal world. I wished father would realize what had been happening and sent for me. It's been centuries.It can't be that Black had succeeded in taking over the immortal realm and holding our father captive just as he claimed he would. This was because father would have sent for me if he had found out what Black was up to. Just as I was thinking of the possibility of what might have happened in the immortal realm, the fog covering the wilderness suddenly cleared up. "Azreal, my son!" I immediately kneeled, throwing my face to the ground in a bow of respect. "Yes father," I replied with great delight. "I have neglected you for so long, and today, I've come to tell you that I've seen who the real sinner was
After having a long day at work, I decided to head grocery shopping. I found out Jed was actually talking about the weekend. It was easy for someone like me to forget if there are weekends or not. That's because I don't have much to do at the weekends. After getting groceries from the shop, I quickly headed back home. I made myself some steak and a bottle of wine to calm my nerves. Just then, I perceived something unnatural around me. This was new. I've never once perceived such a powerful presence before. I walked over to the window where the scent was imminent but found no one around. It can't be that the monster had found me. I quickly took out my pistol. I had no idea if a pistol would work on him, because if a gun worked on him, those agents wouldn't be reported dead. I'm sure they had no chance against the monster. "I slowly walked over to my door and opened it, but found no one out there. I sniffled the air, and the scent was gone. I wondered if I was the one who must have p
I woke up instantly at the sudden burn I felt. "Black!" He must be close by and probably causing a ruckus due to the sudden burn I felt. This was it. I've been trying to find him all this while. Who would have thought that I'd find him soon? I quickly left my bed and dashed out of the house. I stared at the car which I had bought and shook my head. There was no need to take a car when I needed to find someone like Black. I quickly made myself invisible and teleported to the police where I sensed him. I was baffled beyond measure when I found myself in front of a huge shopping mall which had been destroyed. This was indeed the work of Black. I could see the immortal blue flame which he used in causing the destruction. What a pity, so this was all the ruling he wanted. I laid my eyes on the mortals who had no souls and shut my eyes. Black has indeed caused more than enough damage in the human world. I need to take him away as soon as possible before the whole of humanity perishes i
I stood dumbstruck at what I saw. Ever since I worked as an agent pursuing this case, I've never seen anyone who actually commanded beasts. I began to wonder if he was the faceless Saviour everyone was talking about.But for some reason, this faceless Saviour looked nothing like the one I saw on the news. He had this dangerous and unnatural aura,just like what I'd perceived that night.He commanded the monsters and that's exactly what caught my attention. How on earth was he able to do that?"Hey, August!" I blinked but didn't turn around to answer Fox because of what I saw. I was still very much in shock."Where are the monsters? We heard their voices just some minutes ago?" He asked. I turned around to face my partners, who looked around in a confused state."There are no monsters anymore.""Huh? How's that possible? We clearly heard the growls of these monsters. Have they, perhaps, escaped?" Jed asked while staring at me, desperate for answers.I lifted my gun up to them."See? I
