Parallels I Chapter 18 “Memories and Light #1”
/ElyonThe high trees and their branches reach towards the sky, dividing it, so full of strength, giving off the light. Strange creatures in this place lurked everywhere. Little beings crawl on the leaves, the fairies that fly around rustling flowers and leaving traces of starry dust behind. All this seemed like a part from a movie or dream that is too real and too vivid.I got up, wobbled a bit, before gaining my footing. It felt like my feet were jelly and my body was made of wet cotton. What is this?Ahead was a path, leading somewhere. Unsure of what was going on, I took a few steps ahead, then bumped into something, almost tripping over.Looking down I saw a fairy-creature standing opposite me. This fairy was barely one metre tall, looking like a child, watching me with her blue-green eyes, her wings fluttering on her back.“You!” – Angrily spoke fairy, hands on hips, eyes squinting.“Me?” – I pointed at myself with a finger in surprise.“For as far as I see - you’re the only int
Parallels I Chapter 19 “Memories and Light #2”
/ErickThe town had changed, the outskirts gaining new roads, new connections. Yet there still were deserted, forgotten paths. Less groomed, since not many took the steps through these ancient groves. But still in existence.This same path I once walked, to discover the old lady, with much to tell on the top of the tree. Birds cheeping, tall grass rustling softly from the wind – these things did not change. Although, how much time has passed by now?Some parts grew more trees, some became fields, yet one mighty tree stood untouched. Its slightly bared roots are still coloured in red, although not as bright now. The Color reminded me of rust now.Now the climbing part.I came close to this tree, grabbing onto the trunk, pushing off, then getting upwards. Slowly. The branches were small stoops, at the beginning, very hard to hold on. A tricky tree even years later. After a while the branches began, making it slightly easier to climb.Well, if I did it once, I can do it again! The tree i
Parallels I Chapter 20 “The Issues in the Deep”
/AdrianThere are little moments about life that you may regret later. But there is nothing quite like the same two events repeating themselves all the same way, that makes you boil with anger, before having regret.I’m pacing in my office. Puffing out angrily. Rummaging in my head about when and what went wrong. What ‘might’ have gone wrong. The “Echo” is going well, although there are disturbances that violate security of the whole operation.The Grande plan that had been executed stage by stage for so long… The wanted documents, tech, all were going smoothly. But then the ripples began.People that were sent in - were all administered into where they must be, having the information that needs to be right there and then, playing their parts well. But there still is something causing ripples. Damn things do not work well!I swooped the table. Having all that was atop - fly off, hitting floor. Whiskey glass crushing against the wall.“Muppets! Who on this damn planet would pry on my p
Parallels I Chapter 21 “As it slowly gets Back”
/MerinI have the persistence of a very jealous wife, who tries to accomplish what I began. I want to see what my eyes want to see, my heart shut its door to it permanently. I am used to accomplishing all I set out for. Adrian was of no mistake one of those goals. Though with years that goddamn son of a bitch showed his true colours of emotionless, cold-brick bastard.Sure, he can be the multi-billionaire Adrian, the fucking holder of sixty percent of shares to AIO, the good looking man of science and progress that allows the new generations to blossom. But guess what?This bitch is using me as a great asset, due to me being the daughter of the founder of a medical company that made billions due to greatest inventions. I am the one that helps him when dealing with board of directors, those old fucking bastards that cling to damn heavens of medical advancement to keep them going. Like, even viagra is not the answer when it’s all old and unable to work. Just leave it the fuck alone, bu
Parallels I Chapter 22 “More than one Battlefront”
/DavidOrins really concerned look surprised me, as I "returned". She took out a handkerchief to wipe blood from a corner of my mouth, once done, she went to turn the music off.I checked the watch, from here - I was gone for no more than five-ten minutes.“I ah, I walked around the flat… And uh, then you just suddenly had a seizure, with blood going out of your ears and mouth. I… I did as you asked and managed to slap you out of it.” - Orin trembled slightly.Indeed, witnessing a person going through the damn jump to this extent is indeed a painful sight.“Can you get something to drink? I'm parched.” – I asked as I tried to get up, but dizziness got me to stay seated.Slight nod and Orin went to get some water. She checked the cabinet for cups and pulled one out. She poured the water from the container, then took it to the coffee table near the couch.“How did it go?” – Her worries were written all over her face.I took a few gulps, gathering thoughts that had to be said.“Elyon is
Parallels I Chapter 23 “The Sadness of every Matter”
/NikoBird tweeting is joyous, sun is shining bright, wind is caressing skin softly. Yet the sour faces of the gentlemen are annoying to boot. I kept my hands in my pockets, as I walked. Knight walked beside Erick at all times, just like Yuki did. Both were pressured about recovering their Rose, as well as keeping him safe. Ary lead way.Ary sometimes would be there to join me, without any words, to walk beside me. There was the sense of the pain and camaraderie that was only shared in this miniscule way we could. Others were not part of it.“Your brother is up to some really interesting things.” - I let out quietly, so others would not hear, as we were going through the woods.“I’m not even surprised that you know of him and what he does.” - Ary said dryly.“Even though you are like that, he might be interested in, maybe, getting to know you again.” - I said.Ary gave me a glance.“As much as my brother Verin is a pompous brat, he’d not ever dare speak to me. After the blessings we’
Parallels I Chapter 24 “No longer in Focus”
/NikoThe entrance to this forsaken place was guarded by scale covered ash ghouls. All this menace was left for Ary to deal with, well, enough killed for us to make way to get in. For more than one reason Ary was deeply involved in this mess. Using his dark magic Ary managed to get all of us inside the ruined castle safely.Halls were long and dark, light was a luxury here, since all that was made to have light was broken a long time ago. Moon lizards were roaming around halls, with their claws scratching walls and ceiling as they moved around.The sudden cracking sound of the burning furnace and weeping in pain was audible. It felt like outside had become a sort of menacing purgatory. The sound of ghouls, screeching in agony, as they burned alive.“That’s a dragon. Calm down.” – Gabriel said.“What’s a dragon doing here?” – Asked Yuki.“Occasionally these creatures migrate further from Sky Garden. Perhaps this one got fascinated by all the murky ghouls here and decided to have fun by
