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 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
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
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
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
----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. But such was just drawing a clear line to people to be mindful of their standing with mine giving me a childhood filled with adults and responsibilities.I don’t like that.But I keep on reaching more and more until the crown given me a role that would rob me of everything I t
I poured my mana over him. His sorry self without flesh in his waist made me reluctant of saving him but as soon as my magic came in contact with his body, his will to live push him to go and stand up like an obedient puppet. How interesting. “Walk till we got to our home. If you’re slow I leave you behind.” It didn’t answer…mostly all of them was like that but I don’t mind. I decided to test his endurance. That red burning hair and black eyes were familiar to me. There is that one peculiar boy that I couldn’t forget that has a mini butler with this feature. He is a little bit older than of his but maybe he is the son. How cruel. You did all you can to treasure your offspring but as the time went by, a promised price that is not evident or clause which people called “end” will surely come to reap what you owe for living in this Skyscraper. Maybe I
“Come again? You, will what? Accepted his offer to be his disciple? I thought…Haa…” Sitting in the drawing room and receiving the most comfortable guest they are having in the middle of the night, Cerbero is rubbing his forehead and calming the nerves that being agitated by what he is hearing this late of the night. Cygne jabbed Mattheus on the side and eyed him to better shut his mouth before he could rip it off for him but Mattheus misunderstood it as something him being shy of him stepping up and saying what they had decided to tell them. It made him grin like a dog and Cygne pisses more. “For how long is that plan to get out of the world and be this lovey dovey like this in front of me?” Cygne glared at Cerbero who he ignored and just looked at Mattheus who is beginning to get intimidated with the pressure he is feeling from Cerbero’s stares. Thanato which is right in front of them was glaring and Cygne don’t know how or where to sta
“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
