❝The first trumpet had blown and the chaos had served bloodshed to many poor souls. Earthen vessel shall imprint a lasting fear and the savior shall be seen as bad as the villain who unreasonable kills. The lands will be in great uproar and dimensional path shall made open for the return but, the last laugh would never be to the smirking creature behind the curtain of falsity. Slowly the cogs still turn and the fate shall be fallen to what the Great One had told or maybe not?
Still the limbs are not moving and the consciousness is wavering from staying awake or to remain drifting at the depth of abyss. A question remained as it is.
“Why am I here?” ❞
Deep Forest, West Border.
“Stay safe Andrei boy! Remember not to go to where the light gathers” Gregory went up first and offered his hand towards Andrei. The other accepted it and got lifted up to his

Village Entrance, West Border.“We’ve been looking for you!”“I told Gregory that I was going to the forest!”“Who the fuck is Gregory?! For godsake! That woman is dangerous brat and you just openly went to her lair with your guard down! DO YOU KNOW HOW WORRIED THAT HUMAN???”“CAN YOU PLEASE NOT SHOUT?!”“What’s wrong with you two?”“HE STARTED!”“HE IS!”Liam blinked to the two raging bulls with smoking noses. Even Gregory is shocked from the two who’s still walking side by side and shoving each other’s shoulders like they are close in age. Liam went forward and move in between them which ended up being sandwich by the two.“PLLEEEEEASE!! SHUT THE TRAP NOW!!!” His veins were bul
Lobo Village, West Border.“I lost his trails” Apologetic, Liam told Ciara that is still shaking from shock and fright. Brent didn’t do anything and Andrei was thinking deeply. I wandered the forest and find nothing about the creature and what a coincidence that it attacked this house among all the houses in here? Law of gravity? What bullshit is that?“Are you okay dear?” Ciara asked him which made him automatically looked at the old woman and smiled.“Yes I am grandma. I was just worried that the creature would come back and eat us.” Ciara lovingly smiled and motioned Andrei to come to her. The boy went and sat beside her on the sofa.“It will not go twice my dear. I know he’ll not” her voice is whole and is sure that the creature won’t come again. Liam with his sharp eyes didn’t let that small suspic
West Border.“You left without eating? Why?” Liam asked while they were walking by feet. The city is not that far and so they decided to go this way and catch things up since Andrei told him what happened that morning. Brent was in his usual not talkative self after bursting up earlier but he didn’t tell Liam about it. Andrea was just looking around like a curious kid that has been out for the first time in her life.“Yes, I think this is more than we are suspecting Clinton. That purple liquid that visible in my eyes is not present to anyone normal. They are really trying to kill us. Or rather me” He said all those words with stresses each syllable very hard. Andrei is mad for being direct such threats when he hasn’t done anything yet to anyone…as far as he remembers. Well…that one time is completely understandable since what they are doing is much more evil than his and he just served justic
Adventurer’s Guild, Tracy City. The soulful arena became quiet and no one dared to talk. Andrei was like having his expectations down on how powerful or strong these people are. But he is not completely being left down. He found many formidable opponents here too. “Good day participants! I am Gil and we are about to start the first test but before that, I would like to congratulate each one of you for having the resolve to be here, to try and take the exam. Congratulations! The first test would be about stamina. When we give missions, most of the times it is involved the wilderness or the forest. You need to hunt or to gather herbs and ingredients which can make you in harm…that’s why! To avoid unfortunate events, this test is the first to execute…What are we waiting for? I’ll call the names of each participant so just please step forward!” Gil said and waves the pile of paper in his hand. The crowd cheered but their gazes suddenly went
Adventurer’s Guild, Tracy.“The guild master said he would come down and eat with us, we have to wait” Liam said with Maria nodding on his side and her hand still wraps on his arm. It seems like he got immune already to this kind of treatment that he see this as normal. Brent was with Andrea that got a lot of stories to tell. They are happily talking at the corner and you could see flowers at the background when you see let your imagination fly. The guard was still not with his helm and now that Andrei is looking at him, his red hair that looks fiery under the sun and his sharp silver eyes made the boy wonder if he is really just a guard at the gate. Because his sharp facial features and gentle personality makes him look like a flower with thorns.“Is there anything you needed me for?” it seems like the guard noticed that Andrei has been staring too long so he smiled and just ask what he is curious about.
He felt a tremendous pain on his head when he woke up. It felt like that feeling when you had one can of beer or too much the night before the pain assaults you. It gave him no choice but to open his eyes and see the unfamiliar ceiling once again. Somehow he is missing his room at the Night mansion.“Can’t catch enough sleep?” he quickly turned his head towards the familiar voice and frowned. He remembered that the one he is sharing with is Andrea and Brent could figure what he was thinking from his frowning face so he explained without being asked.“The human is being assaulted by that girl human. They are noisy” then he put his gaze back again to the book that felt like not fitting to his image as someone who will make profanities shy when it comes out of his mouth. He get up and slowly releases the hug at his waist to prevent Andrea from waking up.“The sun isn’t up yet, how w
---HerThe people cheered and all the names that had been called went to their respected cage to battle but my gaze is only focused on one person. He has been the only one who I hated the most since he participated in this exam. This should be my debut as an adventurer and yet because the two of them joined, I was nothing but a background now! I won’t really forgive him!The first test is easy that even her taken it lightly and she didn’t even felt any nervousness in her. It should be just to show your stamina or how heavy can you carry and yet! Not just “5” but “8” came out as his result! He surpasses what I did and ended up tied with her nine year old sister! He is evidently is one of my age and yet! I felt lost in that moment that is why I didn’t hold the reign of my emotion well and accidentally made him felt my intent. It wasn’t my fault really! I had hidden myself after though so he
Tracy.They decided to spend the night at the city to do more shopping and resupply. But Andrei didn’t need such thing because his rings has a far more enough item to sustain him for about years. Finished shopping they are now at an inn different from what Maria recommended. But wait…why is Maria not tailing them anymore? Did she finally come to her senses?“Where is Maria?” everyone look at him like if he is asking the right question except for Brent. He is still sane and perfectly in the right mind so why are they looking like he had lost it? After confirming that he is not joking, Liam sighed before brushing his hair up out of frustration or not? Well who knows…“Don’t you remember? You told her off and a creep for sticking on a man far too much. That’s why she bid her farewell when we got your registration card. I kind of pity her face that time. She
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.
