The world is changing and there are the beings that manipulating the ‘changing’, orchestrating, to make it pompous and grandeur, not knowing the harm they put through others. Or maybe they are, but they don’t have the morality or sense of familiarity towards the same specie or being.
Here I am, thinking of the plausible ways to end an act but it seems there is no other solution but to make it even more extra. ¾unknown
=== Two days earlier
The whole estate was busy for the preparations at the festival. They were taken surprised by Anthony who had said that he wanted to join the festival yesterday when he already had signed for it, nine days ago. Even Aeron was shocked to the fullest and almost choke Anthony to death. They are considered foreigners into this town for being here in just a little of a month yet, his nephew were too abrupt and wanted his curiosity to be satisfied. Although Aeron himse

Merkel Forest, lower right of the Merkel Town.It’s about wider than their estate and the vastness just make anyone see it wonder…what is the extent of this? Glistening white, glowing under the ray of light walk with their head high a company of four were stealing the attention of the other carriage that came with them.“It seems we come here at the perfect time. We are the Twain family of the Twain County at the Western border. May I have the privilege to know the fine gentlemen and elegant miss?” A flock of black hairs and black eyes and the one talking has a short hair, slick back and a scar at his right eye going down to his cheek. He is intimidatingly slick that is bursting with energy in his late thirties. There is a lady and two children. All black, eyes and hair. Anthony went forward, closer to the one who is sneaking at the back and doesn’t want to be notice.
Merkel Forest, Merkel Town.The surrounding is quiet and Anthony just went to drop Timothy somewhere he insisted that was okay. He checked the vicinity first before he letting go the kid.“Anthony! We’ve been talking about fetching you already! Where you’ve been? We are about to eat! Come!” Aeron grabbed his arm and let him seat at the block of wood they made as a chair. It turned as a smooth as it can compete to commercial produce products. All it’s lacking was a cushion and cover and it is ready to sell. Anthony seated and handed with a plate of steak that is seems familiar to him. Too familiar that his stomach agreed with what he thinks..Growl.“It seems like your stomach speaks louder than you. Happy lunch!” Aeron said before tapping his shoulders and went back to his seat with his plate.Anthony looked at his plate with a steak, ste
Merkel Forest, Merkel Town.The forest been filled with this metallic scent that is stinging Anthony’s nose. He pulled a handkerchief into his ring and wipes his nose before looking at Timothy who’s having his silence.“Why are you so quiet? Are you hungry? Want some fruits?” Anthony was about to pull some fruits from his ring when Timothy reached out and stop him.“No, I’m not hungry. I’m alright.” Weak smile painted his face but Anthony doesn’t want to probe more. He let the silence engulfed the both of them. Anthony has been sniffing something unpleasant, a scent that he hasn’t smelled before. He is trying hard not to scrunched his face all throughout their walking.They arrived into a crossroad and Anthony automatically turned to Timothy who pointed out the way while sighing. He didn’t ask anymore and let the rest of their journey
Merkel Forest, Merkel Town.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.“Where is my uncl
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
Unknown, West.Moisten leaves and broken branches from the impact, a groaning man was struggling to get up while the other land unscathed. The child with bruises and cut was thrown without any care. 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! Let’s go you big old Blackie!” a wing sprouted in his back again which Clinton felt like being awe but immediately scolded Cygne from his misbehavior.“Lan
Unknown, West.“Have a cuppa dear.”“Oh thank you, you are so kind granny!” Ciara pat the head of the little girl who is blowing her cup of milk while the boys were at the fireplace.“You are telling me that the adventurer’s guild of Solstice capital asked you to go here and ask information about the dimensional path at the Southern border because it worries the lots if a powerful monster would pop their head to take a peek to our Skyscraper. Are you saying that? Those green royals, really.” Chief Chilton said and smacked his thighs. The ember that went to the chimney were lively but when it reaches a certain height, it bound to weaken and eventually will become nothing. How poor flame. The child not that young of 15 thought while watching the fire. His mind was not with the crowd. Maybe from exhaustion but he couldn’t keep up with the lively warm atmosphere that t
