Jumping from the ground, his speed gain more by kicking into the air, releasing bursts of mana that he put into the sole of his feet to became a platform for force and so he could reach him faster. Cygne strike his sword diagonally and hit the side of his cheek that made a thin line of blood slowly seeping out of it but Timothy twisted his body to twirl and went out of his range, lowering his body during the spin with his blade aiming for his ankle tendons to prevent mobility. Unfortunately Cygne had seen his plan and quickly kick to the air once again and went to his side, following his direction turning his weapon into the thread he mainly uses. The thread with a cross shape end floated in the air and quickly strike into his forehead which surprises Timothy and changes the direction of his aim

The Great One Timothy
Timothy.I had a very old dream.I was three and there is no light but darkness filled with screams of terrors and despairs filled my ears. It made me scared to the point that tears were already flowing out of my eyes. The space was cramp and I am hugging my knees to fit myself in quietly inside.“Oh my, my! Please don’t cry! We are doing this for salvation and that will only be achieved if you meet adam and eve! Hehe! This is our salvation and with this you’ll be part of us too and we’ll live together forever! Isn’t it wonderful?!” Madness and maniacal, there is no sanity in her tone and what followed after was the sound of the knife hitting the board, making me flinch whenever it sounded like rhythm drum making a sound of final tribute to the souls that departed.There’s no warmth and light is a luxury that the likes of us cannot grab even if we prayed for
The Great One Timothy (2)
Another day has come, this is different from the usual morning I have. Felt light and refreshing, I went out of the house with full of energy. It felt like there is a new purpose for me to get up today and the day the next day and so on. A smile grazes his lips which had attracted unwanted attention. Another bunch to be added to his Romeo’s plate. The punches, the kick and slamming of the body seem so normal that it doesn’t hurt me anymore. “Give us your money and we will spare you brat! Hurry up before I kill you!” I couldn’t help but smirk to such remarks which had cause to them to beat me more till I cannot talk to argue to them anymore. I am about to retaliate and give them the most brutal outcome but someone barge in again and to my surprise my heart skipped a beat upon seeing him again. It ain’t about seeing the love of your life. That someone you will spend the rest of your vitality together, it is that some
The Great One Timothy (3)
I felt fear that he might leave any moment now. Seeing that the path is familiar from the ones I just stopped him from going, he asked me if this is the right place. I have no choice but to answer him honestly. I can see that he is unusually quiet and I can sympathize with him.“We are near.” He nonchalantly answered yes and I didn’t talk back and just went ahead to hide my guilt that is slowly getting bigger as we are going nearer to our camp. I gulped hard when I notices that we have arrived. I wanted to make him turn his head and walk back but instead I just said what I needed to say.The illusion wall that my parents had put up to distract anyone who is going into our camp went down and the horror inside was laid open for him to see. I am surprised to see him laughs and chatted to mother like they are talking about the weather and their common likes. I felt a pang in my chest. I felt betrayed. I felt like I went to fals
The Great One Reaper
The mind is lost, stares into the unknown. A spell of unknown beginning shall cast to the one that doesn’t know any. Gritting teeth not shown to the smiling peers with same faces and mind. Horns are nothing to their wickedness and fickle schemes. None the wiser or the inherent being to understand, no one will know and so they too neglected the thought of being a fool – taken advantage under their nose.Illusions and nightmares, paranoia and disillusions, a mixture of everything to distort reality from present but then nothing happened. Stare to the void, drool trickle down the chin laughter started to create symphony. Bliss of nothing and hollow feeling, why?“With this shall we rejoice?! Reigns the entirety and crown the strong!” A snake shed it skin and the others followed. But one remained still, eyes watching devoid of everything. Unmoving like mountain and speaks no language, letting the ingrates be drunk t
The Great One Verdyn Floy Florence
Mattheus.I never thought that I would see my fallen ancestor, a traitor of Lumine Kingdom. Verdyn Florence is a genius in his generation long before two generations ahead before mine. The abundance he had given the kingdom is cannot be count and the loyalty he has back then doesn’t amount any riches or prestige and yet he still end up doing a very tremendous catastrophe that had opened the eyes of many. That not all good can never ever be turned into evil.Written journals of the previous head and member of the family said that Verdyn is responsible man who is proficient in any type of magic but the one element he is more compatible with is the fire element which the kingdom’s worshipped element and God. He is called the “genius” and was elected to be the owner of the tower in the age of fifteen, as soon as he reached adulthood.The kingdom prospered in his time and even the king given him title
The Great One Soul Slash
Verdyn’s Territory, Land of walking dead.As the time goes on, the land didn’t have the darkness that normally occurs when the day was well-spent and an indication for a rest but according to Heith’s body clock, a day already passed with their continuous battle from Timothy to Verdyn who is looking fresh and not that ragged like him and Mattheus. They couldn’t be called a noble or someone with a family of prestige. Dust on the clothes or dirt that already dried from dodging or intentional taking the attack, they looked worse than a commoner. But they don’t have that in mind because they both are getting tired. Mattheus in expending his mana pool while Heith from controlling two power that is new to him. His mana pool is too large for him to tire now. Using a telepathy spell, Heith continuously dodge the arrows that Verdyn conjured while dealing with the balls he continuously shot towards him.&ldqu
The Great One Clash
Verdyn’s Territory, Land of walking dead.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.

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.
