2024-10-29 19:42:56He felt like being carried by the water in an open stream. Floating freely with no worries he might get stranded. His limbs, his mind and his feelings were at ease. He even said, "I could live in this for eternity."
No light, no enemy, there is no one to be cautious with. Who is he? What is his name? He just wanted to exist. The sense of time or the flow that imprinted in his body. It felt like his circadian phase got twisted.
How long does he had been floating? He couldn't care less. Letting go of this lifetime bliss is like turning your back to happiness. It's awfully rude. Cygne reaches his hands to the ground and seems like grabbing something in the air. He couldn't see his limbs, nothing a light could reflect inside. But his heart has been in the comforts of calm sea. Quite addicting? Maybe.
[What's bothering you? Let's just stay in this cozy, cope up like space.] Serene and comforting,

Cygne isn't moving. Not that he cannot move but his feet couldn't move. Below his feet were waters that can't put out. The barrier were still mighty and up. Phoebe were just watching him pitifully before she did something she promised to Cain. Something that will crush Cygne even more to the dread of misery and guilt.What happened? What's going on? He felt like he had done something wrong. Because of this, his mana and death power got chaotic and the wall that is separating him and Arao shattered. Phoebe and the others noticed it and they went into panic."Cygne! The walls!" But his mind is currently out of it zone. Arao smirks and the moment he could fit in, he dashes towards Cygne with his blade swung in the air. He could taste victor and it is something sweeter than any pastries or candies.

Cygne casted one more gazed to the slowly disappearing back of the child that had no choice but to turn away and left her group dying. That's all the weak can do. Run when you cannot take up the strong. He usually won't move to save the others out of his territory but he heard a whisper. A very desperate whisper that brought by the wind that had been absent the entire time during their battle. It was a desperate cry and when he looked around to search where it come from, he saw the eyes of desperation and someone who had accepted his fate.Cygne just have to do about it. If no one can hear or do hear but doesn't make a move, that is just the same of being an accomplice to the felon. That's why his limbs moves before he could even agree to the request.

Cygne was sitting beside the man who is holding a bird in his hand and feeling the air to the other side of the space. They are meeting from two ends of different timelines and Cygne has no idea about this. All that he knows is, when he woke up from that shout, he is in this space and creatures couldn't see or feel him. He tried various experiments and all resulted to him in his astral form and cannot be felt nor seen by anyone other than this weird man who is just acting normal despite having a serious talk with him."Are you nuts?" Cygne whispered with his hand covering his ear and acting like he is saying something that shouldn't be heard by anyone else. The man, seem stunned, was looking at him with amusement. Eyes that holds many meanings and lips that is forming a slight smile, he is sitting in such relaxed position that is making Cygne wanted to relax too. But he pulled himself up and tried to grab the man but he flew away because of the wall that i
The Great One She is a lady, she is mother
She peeks to where Cygne is and unknowingly hid but there is nothing that could hide him in her sight. Sky did the same and he blocks her view but she is faster and she moves swiftly which looks like they are playing."Ehhhh, what's this little Sky? You are hiding someone from mommy?" Her eyes squinted and her tone is being mixed with suspicion. Sky almost jump in surprise but he put on a smile and hugs her."What do you mean hiding mom? I'm just making sure that Yan had already hidden himself before you could arrive to prevent him the embarrassment of being seen by you while in tears."The woman went closer to him instead and looked at him in the eye while Sky is trying to push him away to have some space. But she is strong and she slap her both hands into his palm to prevent him from moving and meet her eyes."You are hiding something from me!""MOM!" He blurt
The Great One Back again from the start
I was a child that brought to the orphanage because I couldn't be raised by my parents."You are an unwanted child! Who would want to have you?!" That's what mother superior told me before I went away and decided to live the streets. To be honest, I never expected to live in the slums and collected garbage for my food. I never thought that I would see the reality even before I could even started to read and write.Cold nights and sometimes being soaked in the pouring rain. The stench of garbage where I built my house in become unbearable to live when days are like this. I sometimes wonder."Why even am brought in this world?"Every night when the faint noise from the cars and trucks in the far highway blessed my ears, thoughts are inevitable to pass-by.That's why every time it comes, I went to the mountain of trash, not so far to where I built my house.

"What is your name?" Raspy voice and almost felt like cat's claw in a metal steel, it can hurt your ears. Unlike his rough voice, his eyes were of innocence that knows no bad. You will felt bad if he is actually the one who is at fault. Brawny body and bushy beard, all that is childlike in him was his eyes that sparkles brown unlike the usual dark and black that is commonly being seen around."Are you okay? Hurt your head at the ground?" I got irritated from his frequent asking and harshly pulled him with an attempt to put him the ground instead. But my attempt was for naught. Since he doesn't bulge from where he is standing! Is he a rock or something? I just pulled myself up and dusted the clothes that felt ancient because it already went dry like what the old people said...it could stand on it's own."Why did you hit me with that huge rock huh?" He flinches after hearing that I am aware that he is the culpri

I thought that by gaining strength and power, I wouldn't feel the hole inside me...that emptiness of no purpose but the more that I become stronger, the more that it proved to me that having power is even more complicated than having none. Betrayal, greed, desires and lust. People had been intoxicated with such. No matter how much they have in their plate, the more they wanted more than what they can eat.I cannot say that I didn't have a person that I truly love that time. But the sad truth about that love was I am the only one that had fallen without asking anything in return. I was the only one foolish to believe that if you had fallen for someone, giving it all is a normal thing to do. That...even if its too much of your capability to get what they wanted, you still do what they asked you to get.I am that foolish and that stupidity had produced three little angels. Unfortunately, due to my partner's greed I couldn't

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.
