Face with horrors and agape mouth, Catherine couldn’t make a decision if she’ll cry in despair, fume in anger or laugh from the diverse emotion she is being fed with. Timothy on the other hand, is not moving an inch, his hands on his side and his face neutral. But his eyes were more dynamic.
“W-whaa….what…have…you…done?! Whaa--!!” She moved closer to the body of her son. She dipped her finger over his blood and her emotions paused, eyes widen and then again like being high on ecstasy. Her face distorted and a maniac laugh came out of her mouth.
“Ohhh---true bliss! The sweetness and savor….truly marvelous! I should thank you rather hate, Anthony…for opening my eyes to such delectable dish!” she wanted to shake hands with Anthony but the child refuses and readied his thread.

Merkel Forest, Merkel Town.The door finally opened and Anthony tried to scan the insides. The strange thing about it was, darkness is all his eyes could see. He sighed again after feeling a little happiness from opening it then decided to walk inside. His footsteps were light and he tried to imitate the skill casters does to enhance their senses. He felt a little hot on his eyes and then the darkness slowly casted away.He scanned the surroundings. There are people hanged with their hands together on top of their heads. Rows of it are what welcomed him.“Damn! That stink is killing me!” Anthony pinches his nose and squint his eyes to look for Aeron. Some body were swaying, letting him know that they are still alive and needed some attention to be rescued. But sadly, they are not the reason why Anthony went into this filthy place that felt like sauna from the heat they are enclosed in. Mists were around, cove

Merkel Forest, Merkel Town.The hooded person stayed standing away from them while Cygne massages his almost torn wrist from dehydration and hot temperature. He casted magic to himself, the tissue is growing in a rapid rate. It branches and connects to the other tissue before a new layer of platelet covered it to revert back like it never got damaged before.“We’ve been bumping into each other quite a lot now. Is this fate or coincidences? I bet to the latter. A well planned encounter” Snapping his wrist to check if it’s good as new, Cygne grinned at their guest who remained quiet all along. It made him scoff at his silence.“Cat got your tongue? Where’s that poetic phrases of yours? Are you revealing yourself now? Haha~ please, even though the scenery is not that good to the eyes, why won’t you come and have a tea with us? I bet this would be very enjoyable since we have a lot t

It took him a few minutes before he had confirmed that he has no fractured bone or dislocated muscle.“How long are you going to be laying there at the ground? We have to go because this illusion wouldn’t last long before they get see through to it! Let’s go!” Cerbero said before manipulating the black mists that is coming out of his finger. It was covering them and who knows what the other side are seeing. Cygne went up to his feet and dusted himself before looking at Cerbero.“I know! Tss!

"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.
