Tracy, outside gate.
The sound of the leaves been rustling by the movements the two being clad in black were crisps but not that loud. They are moving as quiet as possible but the pursuing morbid dogs with gnarling growls were making it impossible for them to go unnoticed albeit, attracting more of the same kind.
“Tsk!” Even with the help of the clothes, the dogs are able to smell them with utmost accuracy. Another one jumped onto the one clumsy boy and ripped his clothes a little that made him cuss.
“Dammit!”
“Language!” said the one going ahead but slowed down to check the other’s condition. They are the duo who sneaked out from the Tracy dukedom and was being chased now by the dogs that came from nowhere. Some were having foul smell and the others with flesh falling off their bodies and yet they are agile like a healthy mutt and that is giving troubl
❝Still not moving, consciousness still wanders around. Voices ringing came clear. Flooding system full and shakes from the impact. Keen hearing, the words are flowing more corrigible.éThe chaos went on, blood spilled in the lands. They all fight for, to the one who had the true inheritance. Kill. Destructions. Rob the child of everything that must possessed. The trumpet sounded and everyone got lost counts. Nearing and now in his foot, what shall that being do? Another lost after another, will the laugh falls to the many or to that one being who only want life in this generation.ûCurved a brow and mind chaotic as it is. Why must understand if you can’t move the limb? What is the purpose and why alone in here. But to the side a presence caught the thought swirling around. Smile that reverend but the eyes speaks but lie. No. It is much safer in the abyss, limbs wanted to go adrift. But now that realized, the limbs were cha
Wilderness, Tracy.Cygne’s eyes widened and his jaw tightened when he notices that Alana was looking at him with amusement in his eyes. He opened his tail a little for him to see Clinton and unconscious.His aura dispersed and the cold night became even colder. The wolves are looking at him with caution. There is quake in their eyes and if not because their alpha is right here with them, they would retreat and let the child be. But if that would happen…Cygne would not let anyone get away.He was trying to gain standing on their deal but it seems like he had gone taken advantage by Alana and that is what making him furious right now. You thought you got hold of the game but only to surprise in the end by the truth that you are, instead being taken advantage and now being led to your doom.His death power were slowly seeping out of his body but the usual black mist that symbolizes such pow
Wilderness, Tracy.“You have to choice and both are not the right answer to tell. HEHE! He’d given you a deal yet you left him disappointed. Kid, you have no right for a deal! You are to obliterate and erase that’s why seeing you hopeless like this awakening the cruel side of me. What if I crunch his skull? Or kill that thing near you? What would it make you feel like? HAHA! That’s making me curious. Oh! Like this!” he looked back the lifeless body of Clinton that made Cygne watch him too. The blood was flowing freely and it doesn’t slowing down. The hole that the black wolf had made is huge and he doubt that even magic is of no use to it. Death power? He doesn’t even know if it was pure luck that he could activate the first ability, Death Scent but to their situation right now, he couldn’t think of any skill or ability to help them. It’s still early he haven’t learn that much about this world or the po
Lobo Village, West Border.Complete darkness loomed in the entire village. Many debris and ruined houses were scattered around like a great disaster visited them. The makeshift gate that supposedly be manned with one person collapses but the entirety of the village were still not visible to the naked eye because of the black mist that enveloping the entirety of it. The stench that only a death wielder can smell was strong and if one newbie smell it for the first time, they would puke and end up throwing their meals out. The sun was peeking but can’t seem to reach the place. It had become isolated and the chaotic howls and whimpers were too much for imaginations to predict what is happening inside that thick curtain.There is only two individuals that remain prominent even if they are inside the den of death. They both sported black hair, one long and the other short with a few streaks of gray from aging. They are busy battling and scat
Wilderness.BOOM!Dust scattered that made Cygne covered his eyes to prevent it from going inside. But he wanted to keep it open and see how Clinton stopped the claws of that huge black wolf that was about to hit Tien that had been caught off guard when he just landed a hit and thought it would take some time for the black wolf to counter back. Cygne saw everything and he couldn’t help but be amazed.“I can feel your jealousy to the deepest that where I am right now stupid.” That made Cygne cough from embarrassment but still stayed attentive towards the fight.“Well, isn’t it amazing? He could use the death power freely when I am struggling to figure out how to even utilize one skill! That’s just unfair you know! Oh wow! That’s solid!” he exclaimed when Clinton made a solid hit on the black wolf’s side that made it grunt before retreating a
The sound of trickling water had woken the conscious out of Cygne from slumber. He grumbled from pain when a very bright light greeted his poor eyes. Questions circled inside his head. What am I doing in here? He remembers standing still and facing the wolf who wanted to kill him so much. He is in the face of danger but couldn’t make himself move. There is something that is stopping him or his limbs won’t move from where he is standing. Rebelling or not, he went unconscious when a light glowed that made him fall asleep. The rest was history because here he is, not knowing why is in the presence of something blinding. It’s a light that you cannot see pass through or behind it. That is why it’s casting a mysterious feeling when you let your vision stayed on it.“Hello?” Cygne sat down and was surprise that he is inside of that abundant light and yet the one he is facing was so illuminating that the surrounding fel
The birds are chirping under the shade of an old oak tree outside the window from Cygne’s room. The afternoon spring air was quite humid and it caresses his cheeks and his hair that had gone quite long since he has been unconscious. It has been a week since he opened his eyes and he was dumbfounded to learn a lot that had happened. The king had died and the young crown prince erected to the throne last three years ago. The South Border was in the verge of collapse when the previous head was gravely injured during the last invasion of foreign creatures that want to come inside the Skyscraper. There is a new rising hero group that said to be supported by the empire’s crown prince. The issue about the murderers who once again harvested a lot of lives in the West at the Tracy territory was the other mission of the said hero group beside the subjugation of the Demon King. The duchess Tracy had said to be investigating and strengthening their surveillance and security. &
“We are in the capital of Lumine Kingdom, the entrance to the Luminus Empire. The Royal Palace is deep within that huge wall that is separating the citizens from the royal family. There is only one family that is allowed to freely go inside and out of it castle grounds. I don’t know if you know them but they had been the right hand of the royal family. Mother said they were eccentric people that with respect come also the avoidance of people to them because of their peculiar attitude. And anyway, oh! That! Let’s go to that boutique! Anyway, where I was…oh! Right! The Lumine’s royal family…you haven’t heard of them? Who’s your tutor?? Oh! That’s lovely!” Rosalithe pointed at the fancy gems on a jewelry shop in front of them. Cygne wanted to get out of his situation right now. Because Rosalithe had insisted that they would go by foot since the market is near, no one insisted to prepare the carriage. His ankles were now hurting from walking too much. But the lady
Hello everyone, this is Twelfth Moon. I would like to thank all of you that had read this till the ends and stayed from my rollercoaster and messed up writing. I would like to thank my friends that had been my inspiration and had given me the mental support that I needed to finish this book. Cygne had been a difficult character to express from the ups and downs of his emotions and the confusing way I might have portrayed him. I would like to apologized if I made some confusing plots that might get you bored from reading it. Again I wish you all well during this time and I hope that you guys achieved the things you wanted in life and continue on living. I love you guys and thank you for reading The Great One. -Twelfth Moon
"Are you sure we are good to go now, leaving your majesty alone? HEY! SAY SOMETHING!" I grab at her shoulders which showed me her crying face. I got startled and don't know what to do, I saw her wipe her tears and made a protective barrier made out of mist.My brows furrowed and I couldn't understand why. We are staying a float in the sky. We couldn't land in the ground burning in fire."Mnnng.." I heard Fall gaining his consciousness and grabbing his head. Ciel and Alena were holding one another, he seems like feeding him with essence to keep her from losing control of not having being fed. While Thanato was keeping herself together. I couldn't understand what is wrong with her.A blinding light made us sleepy and then everything went blank. I heard the ringing sound of someone calling my name and I feel like it was something familiar.---"Nestor! Nestor!" Som
I thought that death is something painful that I would go through excruciating pain and my bones felt like being pound into dust but true to what the others said that what it would feel like.I lifted my body with eyes still shut close. It felt peaceful. Is this what it feels like being in heaven? Does Skyscraper have this Heaven and Hell? I'm sure Hades' palace is too grand to be called the dump of evil souls. But anyway, why does it feels so gentle and warm in here? I opened my eyes since I think it was safe not to pretend that I was sleeping.My limbs forgot to move. It was a utopia before the pollution from human waste for upgrading their way of living. Greeneries are abundant and the water from the stream I am near were as clear as crystal blue that reflects the bright sky. Animals from big to small were coexisting with one another. A predator taking care of a prey is a rare sight to see! I am mesmerized from what I am seein
The space felt peaceful but there is a lot of scattered bodies drifting with the dust. They had been piled one after another and almost making a wall to protect Skyscraper. I went inside the mana ball that is pushing the carcasses away and I could see Arao happily humming while still shutting his eyes close. I tap his shoulders. He looks frail pitiful in his child's form. Maybe that's why Mother is always beside him. He looks like a child that needed attention."Brother Sky! Are we done? Can I open my eyes now?" I was pulled out of my thoughts when he suddenly talks. I smiled and patted his head."You can open it up now Ra. Don't be surprise to where we are alright?" I informed him since this is rather a new place for him to see. He move his head up and down before putting down his hands and jumped towards me. I chuckled and then I patted his head again."Are you ready for the journey that we will take?" I
I walked towards Arao and in my shoulders strapped and quietly hanging is a green guitar that shines a different glow when Melody uses it. A sparkling particle which in every move it makes, a powdery dust were coming out of it, making flowers, images and all the glee a person wanted to see. In my hands were two daggers that eminates the contrasting aura of life and death. Mixing together into a color of black and white, forming a familiar symbol that had been the picture of balance.Death and mana were circling around me, not meeting or greeting, going on their own way. The veins in my body popped and the chest that had been hurting for pulsating hard is now started to bleed. It made me smile."Can you help me out for the last time now? I know you have been wanting to pull me out of this but if you do that, the whole of the Skyscraper will fall and that is something I wanted to avoid since all the people that I hold dear is livin
It was dark like Cygnelius and I's consciousness. But the different is this one has a sound of a child crying. It was faint at first, I thought it was just a hum in the air but as I walk closer to the source of it, the clearer it gets. There is nothing much in the darkness and it wasn't creepy at all. The comforts it could bring to you is boundless yet your eyes are covered from the real comfort it could do. I walked some more and I saw a little girl squatting in the ground while hugging her knees. She's hiding her face in it and her shoulders were going up and done. I went to my knees and waited until she calmed a little bit."Are you feeling a little better Hope?" But she didn't reply or even look to my face. She is still weeping on her own. I sat beside her and I was glad she didn't push me away. I stayed there and wait since the flow of time in the consciousness was faster than the outside. She perked up but still hiding her face. I smiled and didn't talk th
I bid my farewell to the both of them and went out of my body. It felt like my circadian phase had been messed up and I felt dizzy like what you will feel when riding a plane.I opened my eyes and was greeted with a quiet bursting of flames and there is no roars or shouts from Arao. What happened?I roam my eyes and couldn't find them both."Hope!" I shouted but I get no reply."Hope!" I repeated it once again but there is only silence. I couldn't feel her presence. I just went out for a short moment, please be alive! I used my wings and I kicked the foothold and my eyes scanned the surrounding but the fiery sea of fire is all I could see."Hope! Where are you?" I glided to the rocks on the sides and I almost slammed at the protruded rock behind it. I almost said goodbye to my head.I just said to keep him occupied! Why disappear with
["That mostly is my plan. Even though I wanted to give him a very rightful punishment but as things goes, I cannot satisfy my desires in exchange of the Skyscraper's survival...ain't I?"] I fixes my astral clothes just to dust off some anxiety inside of me from talking with her and seeing that serious beautiful face makes me fluster! It's different from talking with Thanato or Phoebe, this one is the real beauty but we have been talking since earlier, she haven't told me her name. Addressing her with ma'am and milady is too formal. I swallowed the lump in my throat and decided to ask her of her name.["But if you wouldn't mind...could you tell me your name so that I could address you correctly? It seems like to formal for addressing you milady all the time... So if you don't mind telling, grant my foolish wish?"] This aint me. This is because of her blinding beauty! It's making me more nervous, seeing her intensely staring at me right now. Why is her personality
The sun is the core and basic needs of a human being to survive. It provides nutrients and warmth also said to be the origin of life in Skyscraper. It was connected to the source of magic and sorcery. Without it acting as a medium, mana wouldn't be produced from the environment. In and which if you looked at it into a chef's perspective, it was the important condiment needed to make a dish flavorful.Mana is the requirement to do spells and heal someone. It's the basic requirement to do magic and the sun is the provider producer of it.I don't study college but in our highschool biology, Mrs. Reyes told us that the most important star between moon and the sun was the provider of vitamins and warmth. I wouldn't argue with that.The sun is the big ball of hot flames and many times bigger than the Earth. It's essential to living since humans are not immune to freezing cold and low temperature. Like the hum
