Still inside the eerie dark cave.
The black slime smiled at Cygne cutely.
"You can speak now?"
Cygne asked after he woke up from a nap due to exhaustion of his death aura. He then said to the slime after hearing it said something like "master". The black thing just tilted its head as if saying "what are you talking about?" but, then wiggle it's body as if it was disagreeing at what he asked.
"It seems like you can understand me now though. Anyway did you already had your fill? You did make me tired you know."
Immediately the slime's body drooped down like melted ice. Cygne really like the cute thing and wanted to keep it. He didn't know he already made a contract with the mysterious blob of slime. He remained lying on the ground while thinking about things he realized in his time in h
Dark Cave at the Night's Territory.Cygne snapped out of his sleep and sit up abruptly, disturbing Neah who was sleeping in his stomach in its original form. He couldn't help but frown in the next noise exploding inside his head, forgetting the earlier image he saw.• Heh. Now you know my mightiness and greatness. I betcha want to know me more. Hoho it isn't too late lil brat! Heeeek----okay I'll stop tsk.The corner of his lips nearly twitch uncontrollably from the arrogance and air of the invader inside his head. He nearly forgot this existence because of his gladness from encountering Neah who's looking at him in confusion. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly because of the abnormal heart beat his heart was stressing out. It seems like it's urging him, 'Gooooo! Find where your hearts desire'. It made the side of his mouth twitched even more before calmly rested an indi
Still at the dark cave.• B-Blackie?!Cygne clicked his tongue to the loud voice exploded inside his head that made him dug his finger on his ear. Hades said it that it was a gift and a helper. He's not that dumb to refuse such generosity so he decided to use it fully."What's wrong? It's not inappropriate because your color is black and you seems like a fluff ball with black fur." Cygne casually talks like he was talking with an old friend before he continues. His voice sounded threatening enough to glaze ice shards on one's neck. "Oh also, I despise fur and tails so you better hide that characteristics if you don't want to be skinned naked."• What the actual sh*t is this f*cking idiot is rambling abo-----!!! Shiiiit! Alright! Calm down dammit!Question marks roamed above his head on who Blackie was talking to but later on shrugged on it like it was not his business to medd
Inside the Dark Cave, Blackie's burrow.Cygne who was still amazed from Neah's ability, looked around to see a complete darkness that slowly creeps them out. It was a type of darkness on which can make you see delusions and slowly deteriorates your mind. A suppressive pressure surrounds him that made him feel uncomfortable. Thanks to the illusionary light coming from his wings, he could still see somewhat combined with his heightened sight.As he continued to look around, tall pillars were scattered around and some are broken like something or rather, someone lashed out wildly. Huge crevices was evident as dust was still flying around. It made Cygne alert when he sense someone's watching him. From his back, Neah slowly detached herself from him which the source of their light went out and she turned into her child form and run forward. Before Cygne could stop her, he squinted his eyes to see two big round red eyes f
Inside the Dark Cave, Blackie's burrow.Cygne and Blackie were reigned by silence while looking at each other. The other has a furious expression while the latter relax.They are waiting for Hades to respond but after a few moments...nothing happened.A soft groan was heard but apparently covered by a cough as they continued the conversation."Kuhum!! Just don't mention their names. It's troublesome being dragged to their games... As long as we don't offend anyone of them, you are safe.But to tell you, I have been wondering...right now I felt something in your necklace."Cygne looked at the necklace that's quietly hanging on his neck. It still has a soft glow but other than that, it was ordinary.But Blackie was intently
Night's Mansion in Death Peaks. It was the second day of heavy snow storm that brought blankets of white icy cold layers of snows barricading the door. Servants are busy removing it with layers of clothes and a thick cotton gloves. Supposedly, it was a normal day and a happy one at that. But everyone was covered with unease and discomforts on the sudden changes after the return of the young master brought forth. Clinton couldn't help but wipe the cold sweats accumulating on his forehead despite the very cold weather as he watches the servants and maids gossip about the young master brazenly without filter. He, as the appointed butler of the young master, he can't stand the buzzing of these people while their tail were hiding between their legs and were cowering in fear whenever they see
Night's Red Greenhouse.Clinton was busy chopping the vegetables being tossed to him by Cygne with a hum that trickles Cygne's ear.'What the heck is this fellow's happy about? Is doing chores really that enjoyable?' It can't help but give Cygne a crunched to his face while he busied himself from lighting a portable stove. Unlike the previous when he is still at the cave, he later saw the stove. Thankfully it was one with a similar feature with the ones on his past world, except that it was not being litted with butane gas but instead with a mana stone.He effortlessly pulled one small mana stone and put it on the socket and placed the pan on top. Clinton saw it but later on focused on the ingredients he needed to chopped. They'll be having quite a heavy meal for today and he is looking forward to what the young master will going to cook. He had decided
Night's Red Greenhouse.Going back to their chores, the chopped ingredients went flying everywhere earlier. Clinton looks apologetic but Cygne just shrugged and started to pull some ingredients again in a good mood. He never thought that he could wield magic when the normal Night can't.Clinton excused himself as per his orders and before he left saying he would be disposing the trash away, he asked Cygne to be safe which got no answer from the person.A few minutes after the butler left, Cygne started to speak like he had someone to talk with."I never thought magic was that easy? You said it was acquired after a few attempts..."「 • Brat don't spat on my face that you are just an abnormal life existence that made the impossible possible or I'll
❝Unusual place and rusting feeling. The body feels like it has been a long years before it got to feel ᅳgot the consciousness to be aware of what's going on around. Tried to lift a finger but cannot. It seems like it become numb through the years without moving. Murmurs are drifting around but couldn't comprehend it clearly. When tried to focus and listen, got pulled away from the front seat. Like the first time, one question remain as it is. "Why am I here? ❞ --- Huffs and pants. A juggling feeling like being shaken woken up the senses Cygne has. First thing he had realized that he's awake, a tremendous pain in the body and mind assaulted him. It's different from ordinary migraine or hang over. It's more painful than vertigo. An urge to vomit is slowly building up in his system from the harsh actions. Profanities flooding his head like the usual shi
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
