Soul Slash. That is the name of the aura blade he releases that cut the barrier Verdyn made. Heith has no idea that he made Cerbero smirk from sensing what he is doing. He had been searching Mattheus since earlier since the connection he imprinted him got cut off. That’s when he had an idea of using the death aura like aura blades in his past world. He condenses and condenses his death power and releases it until it’s freezing cold and packed. But he could feel Verdyn but he is nothing but a grim that reaps the wrong and a threat to humanity and Verdyn was seen as one. No matter what happened in his past, such is nothing to the crimes he had done to humanity and even if it was, the threat of his power will continuously haunt them and must reap out to avoid further disturbance to the life of many.
Quite the irony, he lost the precious things in his life because he attended to what be

The Great One Reminiscence
----Verdyn.I thought of the Skyscraper as people-loving and a land of happiness but I never thought that such benevolence has a set price to take. All good things has such price and so I did bad for a change and that is truly satisfying.But I still couldn’t fill this empty feeling.It’s crawling, rooted in the deepest of my body and whispering that I should do more that I always and every time submit into.I’m tired.I got recognized from a very young age and was entrusted with a lot of responsibilities that I didn’t fails to fulfill. But such was just drawing a clear line to people to be mindful of their standing with mine giving me a childhood filled with adults and responsibilities.I don’t like that.But I keep on reaching more and more until the crown given me a role that would rob me of everything I t
The Great One Last Farewell
I poured my mana over him. His sorry self without flesh in his waist made me reluctant of saving him but as soon as my magic came in contact with his body, his will to live push him to go and stand up like an obedient puppet. How interesting. “Walk till we got to our home. If you’re slow I leave you behind.” It didn’t answer…mostly all of them was like that but I don’t mind. I decided to test his endurance. That red burning hair and black eyes were familiar to me. There is that one peculiar boy that I couldn’t forget that has a mini butler with this feature. He is a little bit older than of his but maybe he is the son. How cruel. You did all you can to treasure your offspring but as the time went by, a promised price that is not evident or clause which people called “end” will surely come to reap what you owe for living in this Skyscraper. Maybe I

“Come again? You, will what? Accepted his offer to be his disciple? I thought…Haa…” Sitting in the drawing room and receiving the most comfortable guest they are having in the middle of the night, Cerbero is rubbing his forehead and calming the nerves that being agitated by what he is hearing this late of the night. Cygne jabbed Mattheus on the side and eyed him to better shut his mouth before he could rip it off for him but Mattheus misunderstood it as something him being shy of him stepping up and saying what they had decided to tell them. It made him grin like a dog and Cygne pisses more. “For how long is that plan to get out of the world and be this lovey dovey like this in front of me?” Cygne glared at Cerbero who he ignored and just looked at Mattheus who is beginning to get intimidated with the pressure he is feeling from Cerbero’s stares. Thanato which is right in front of them was glaring and Cygne don’t know how or where to sta

“pass the ball dimwit! c’mon! hurry! they will get the championship!” “demm! can you just wait dumbass! i’m trying to break free here! geez…” Eh? This conversation felt so familiar? When is this? Cygne found himself in a darkness that doesn’t felt so cramped. There are voices everywhere and he tried listening to some. Among them, the one near him was about a happy memory that he remembered. It brings back that time they didn’t won the basketball championship of the barangay league. They all went to a friend’s house to drink and later on, one by one, they started crying and voice out their frustrations. Of course, as the team captain, he cried too. They all slept with tears in their eyes and after that went to their own path before the start of the chaos. He retracted his hearing and found himself into another set of voice. Bombs and explosions were on the background and shouts an

Thourne Mansion, Florence Capital. “Do you have no house to live with that’s why you are here feeling so welcome without even needing the head to greet you? How comfortable you are?” Cygne with his usual grumpy remarks and scorn towards Mattheus that is simply watching him practice his magic. They are at the separate place in which the family does sparring and training, either alone or with others. Experiments and formulation of new techniques had gone into this place and multiple newly created attacks and that is all thanks for Ki Lin who didn’t waste any idle moments of his life and went to this place whenever he finishes his work or has free time. Cerbero is very much satisfied with it and no one voices out their displeasure…even Tien. He prefer that his child to learn more on his own that him giving pointers and guides. But Cygne think otherwise, as someone with the same ‘don’t bother me’ syndrome, he could tell that Tien just avoidi
The Great One Gift
Holding the ordinary blade at the knuckles, Cygne traces the edges of the blade and smiled for being satisfied from the sharpness of it. Has the ability to cut the hardest metal, it has more than the others could think it has. Gripping it tightly, Mattheus could see the resonance after the connection had been made and even him was amazed like a scholar given new enlightenment in his life. "What are you planning on doing? I felt there is something dangerous that is going to happen... " His hairs are standing on its ends and sweats are forming in his forehead which he normally experience when there is something about to happen. Cygne looked at him with boring eyes and started to slash the weapon in the air. There is a sound in every slash and the crisp tone of it makes Cygne smirked at Mattheus while pointing the blade to Mattheus. "Do you know why I conjured this weapon

Millefleur Restaurant, Capital Florence.“It has been a while Mister Thourne.”Heisenberg choke his offered hand and laughs, ”Surely you jest, it’s not even a week had passed since we last saw each other”, he said smiling before breaking contact with him. “My apologies if we took so long before we got in here. We just fancied walking on our way here since it has been a while before we had the leisure to walk with everyone with our busy schedules. Please forgive our nuisance.” He bowed which Mattheus desperately make his head rise by bowing the same.“Oh sir, no please raise your head. I just arrived myself that is why there is nothing to apologize at. It would be very much pleasing if we start to take our meal since I had forgotten to eat my meals before going in here and because of that I’m a bit hungry. Shall we sir?” Heisenberg nodded and lead the way that Ma

Epilogue (2)
"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

Epilogue
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

Hold my hand I'm sleepy (2)
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

Hold my hand I'm sleepy,
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

End of the line
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.
