“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

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.

    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.

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.

    Stretching both his limbs, he lifts his intertwined hand above his head and pulled up that causes his waist to make a sound. He smiled from the satisfaction before bending his body and reaches his toes in multiple sets of repetition. The morning sun is not that strong and the weather is perfect for morning walks but, instead of going out, Heith went to the inner most part of the mansion and turned right with a smile on his face. The servants were already up and greeting him which he greeted back. There must be something today? He thought so before entering the kitchen where the chef and a few apprentices were waiting for his arrival. Ingredients and vegetables are already filling a counter and each category are separated from each other. That made Heith nod before turning to face them all. "Good morning everyone. I assumed that every one already had their fills for today. We will be extremel

I never thought that the masters are this generous!""Apparently the young sir will go out for an adventure even if he just woke up. Isn't that quite of a noble dream?

    "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

    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

    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.
