"Ha!"
"Your pose is awkward!"
"Acck! Huup!"
There was a lot of shouts and screams that filled the training ground that is located at the second basement level of the mansion.
But, one distinct voice was silently being suppressed to not attract attention. The person intentionally endure not to scream or shout from the immense sparring he is in right now. Precise. Fast. Cruel. There is no softness in every strike and the attacks are getting heavier and sharp at each round.
"Ack--!! Haa.."
"Tsk...Hmm... Groan."
But his efforts are for naught because pitying gazes are gathering with him at the center. Cygne can only click his tongue inwardly.&nbs

Night's mansion.Pant. Pant.A young boy was running across the mansion in his tight black fitting clothes. His arms and legs were being wrapped with a few weight bracelets that weighs 20 kilos each. All in all he was carrying 80 kilos plus the 20 kilos belt hanging in his waist, 100 kilos."Goddammit! Huuuu!"It was his tenth lap and his legs was already shaking from the tremendous weights he put on him. It was a miracle that he hasn't fainted after doing this ridiculous idea he put himself into a week ago.It is indeed definitely made him fainted the the very first day. After that, he didn't give up after a few fainted days he barely passed out yesterday and today he have a feeling that he wouldn't be waking up from another place.The young boy Cygne was running around the estate
The Great One Thread of Chaos
❝Looking around, darkness can be found. Murmurs getting loud but not clear enough to sound. Trying to move but chains were clashing in every move. Why does the body tied? Planes are clearer to feel yet far to grasps. Aura's clashing like violent storms and yet calm voice reverberated in the room. One question remained in mind. "Why am I here?❞ --- Before the sun peeks at the world, there was a lone figure who's jumping from trees to trees. It was so soft that no one will be able to notice. The figure was draped with black from head to toe and in its waist was a chain with two sharp sickles. It move nimbly and dodged the needles effortlessly. After shooting three needles, the pursuer dash to its right and threw a dagger. The figure leap in the air and maneuvered its body sideways, making the needles and the dagger passed through each other with the figure in between. <
The Great One Cave (1)
Cygne was being overwhelmed by the loud voice that is ringing inside his head. What more, the voice was so similar to someone he knows very well! • Oi brat why aren't you saying anything? Are you ignoring me? "..." • Oho! You have the audacity to feign ignorance you little brat! Look! Look! Tch. "..." Cygne doesn't find the words to construct a response to the voice that is more talkative than his brain. It's too ridiculous hearing those words from the voice he is very familiar with.Because of this, he couldn't grasp the situation that he was in. The innermost part of the cave was deep and dark. No luminosity was present to give light and fully see the wholeness of it. But Cygne proceeded to move
The Great One Cave (2)
Still inside the eerie dark cave. The black slime smiled at Cygne cutely. "You can speak now?" Cygne asked after he woke up from a nap due to exhaustion of his death aura. He then said to the slime after hearing it said something like "master". The black thing just tilted its head as if saying "what are you talking about?" but, then wiggle it's body as if it was disagreeing at what he asked. "It seems like you can understand me now though. Anyway did you already had your fill? You did make me tired you know." Immediately the slime's body drooped down like melted ice. Cygne really like the cute thing and wanted to keep it. He didn't know he already made a contract with the mysterious blob of slime. He remained lying on the ground while thinking about things he realized in his time in h
The Great One Blackie
Dark Cave at the Night's Territory.Cygne snapped out of his sleep and sit up abruptly, disturbing Neah who was sleeping in his stomach in its original form. He couldn't help but frown in the next noise exploding inside his head, forgetting the earlier image he saw.• Heh. Now you know my mightiness and greatness. I betcha want to know me more. Hoho it isn't too late lil brat! Heeeek----okay I'll stop tsk.The corner of his lips nearly twitch uncontrollably from the arrogance and air of the invader inside his head. He nearly forgot this existence because of his gladness from encountering Neah who's looking at him in confusion. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly because of the abnormal heart beat his heart was stressing out. It seems like it's urging him, 'Gooooo! Find where your hearts desire'. It made the side of his mouth twitched even more before calmly rested an indi
The Great One Multi-dimensional Helper
Still at the dark cave.• B-Blackie?!Cygne clicked his tongue to the loud voice exploded inside his head that made him dug his finger on his ear. Hades said it that it was a gift and a helper. He's not that dumb to refuse such generosity so he decided to use it fully."What's wrong? It's not inappropriate because your color is black and you seems like a fluff ball with black fur." Cygne casually talks like he was talking with an old friend before he continues. His voice sounded threatening enough to glaze ice shards on one's neck. "Oh also, I despise fur and tails so you better hide that characteristics if you don't want to be skinned naked."• What the actual sh*t is this f*cking idiot is rambling abo-----!!! Shiiiit! Alright! Calm down dammit!Question marks roamed above his head on who Blackie was talking to but later on shrugged on it like it was not his business to medd
The Great One Multi-dimensional Helper (2)
Inside the Dark Cave, Blackie's burrow.Cygne who was still amazed from Neah's ability, looked around to see a complete darkness that slowly creeps them out. It was a type of darkness on which can make you see delusions and slowly deteriorates your mind. A suppressive pressure surrounds him that made him feel uncomfortable. Thanks to the illusionary light coming from his wings, he could still see somewhat combined with his heightened sight.As he continued to look around, tall pillars were scattered around and some are broken like something or rather, someone lashed out wildly. Huge crevices was evident as dust was still flying around. It made Cygne alert when he sense someone's watching him. From his back, Neah slowly detached herself from him which the source of their light went out and she turned into her child form and run forward. Before Cygne could stop her, he squinted his eyes to see two big round red eyes f

Inside the Dark Cave, Blackie's burrow.Cygne and Blackie were reigned by silence while looking at each other. The other has a furious expression while the latter relax.They are waiting for Hades to respond but after a few moments...nothing happened.A soft groan was heard but apparently covered by a cough as they continued the conversation."Kuhum!! Just don't mention their names. It's troublesome being dragged to their games... As long as we don't offend anyone of them, you are safe.But to tell you, I have been wondering...right now I felt something in your necklace."Cygne looked at the necklace that's quietly hanging on his neck. It still has a soft glow but other than that, it was ordinary.But Blackie was intently

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.
