“Papa, will that child survive his fate?” A sweet and calm voice of a lady that can make flowers bloom in spring said. She closes her eyes and embraces his father who softly caresses his back while being inside his arms. They are dancing in a song that isn’t glad nor sad to have the long face they had in their faces. The music from the player that is only the furniture inside the room while the darkness that had been their comforts since the chaos befallen the lands and bodies of people had become fertilizers or the land itself. There is nothing they could do.
The war had already started between the two.
“My daughter, we are nothing but a piece being moved by our master. That child has his own destiny to fulfill and if he chooses to do the other, we have to respect his choice and never questioned it. Since His Majesty told us, the Skyscraper depends on him.” They twirl to the musi
---Fall (Mattheus)I almost cannot move my body anymore. When will this battle be over? My senses are growing numb. It has been exactly two years since the chaotic events in my life had come. I wanted to cuss it out but this fucked up situation can be described more than that!We are supposed to be going to the west desert land in according to Sky he met this beautiful lady called Alena. I had my doubts but since Sky told me that she is trustable, I didn’t cause any more trouble for Sky and followed them but when we met the twin blades that we later found out after they had attacked us, Nikkita was just waiting for an opportunity and Sky went right into it, head first! That stupid brat who doesn’t really believe in dangers just went on and sleep right into Nikkita’s bed of pearls. It’s like water but has a hidden opening like a clam. It encloses and swallowed Sky whole and after that the twins also transformed their b
---Phoebe Mellona Tracy. I felt the eerie feeling in the air and the sky that had forgotten the shine of the bright sun. Hiding at the top of the tallest tree that had become scarce, I wiped my dirty face from not being able to take a bath since those damn Gods went down to the lands and making it their private villa to take vacation! Those aaaaaah! My brows creases when I couldn’t scream it out and brush the now short ---red hair I loved so much. To survive in this fucking land you have to be a monster like them too. Giving them the same treatment that they are giving, aren’t that irony? Taste your fucking medicines! Hahaha! I got carried away. The darkness that once creep me out become a loving companion that had helped me to execute my assassinations without much eyes to see how it was done. I no longer fancied dresses since they are too hard to move in and you know as a lady like me, I pr
----???Light had gone twisted and so the rest of the shine that expected to be the shepherd of lost lambs but turns out the latter with two great horns skewing them to damnation. The acrid smell of insanity and pandemonium spread in the air, numbing the senses that once delighting to have.What had gone wrong?Is it right to succumb to every wishes or not?Will this end the continuous crumbling of Skyscraper that is love but not me but everyone?I wish it is since it holds many sentiments to me. Long before I was born, I still remember the loving gaze and care that had put to us and learn how to be compassionate without waiting for anything in return. Bringing all the good things for the beloved love ones without minding the fact that crumbs and pieces are starting to pile up and still believe that when you pour all you have, they will grow as much as you hope they would be.
Sky has been watching the Gods talking with one another and their authority is flooding towards him and making him wanted to hit their heads with some common sense of retracting their auras so that someone who cannot handle it. But Sky guessed their mama doesn’t taught them manners which he immediately want to take back when all of a sudden they looked at him at once, focusing their authority and bullying him with it. He groaned from this childish treatment but he couldn’t do a thing. He couldn’t understand their language too. Not that he knows the language spoken but when it was processed to his mind, it was immediately translated. How amazing that is? But he couldn’t be cheery. His situation hasn’t been improving since he regained consciousness. His frequent long slumbering is freaking him out but first thing to do is to get his fucking ass out of here…but how? While the four were discussing about how to ruin the world, there is this l
Midday on the lands of sun.The heat is scorching but darkness envelops the lands. Total black and you couldn’t even see your body because of it. Sky is wondering why, the place he woke up was too bright for him to open his eyes from. What freak is robbing the light just so he could make himself better? Well of course we already know who that is.Sky is roaming aimlessly because he couldn’t recognize the place anymore. It felt so different and only negative emotions are lingering in the air. What happened when he was asleep? Not again with many changes and he is not aware of any!He scrunches his face and preventing himself from getting angry but what is happening to him is what making him forgot the promise of maintaining the balance of good and evil in this Skyscraper. He just wanted
Sky was remembering the same darkness in the beloved abode of Hades that until now, haven't contacted him yet.Yes, he is thankful that he rescued him from that hot tempered sun but it has been many years and being strong like him, it is not reasonable for him to recuperate for that long or maybe, there is something going on?"Sky look! Loooook!" Melody pointed left and Sky is not joking, all he could see was black and his sight couldn't penetrate beyond. The kid notices this and puffed his cheeks until it reddens and seeing this, Sky scratches the back of his head and started putting mana on his eyes which quickly enhances it so that he could see the horde of monsters below them reaching to their feet in silence. The hair in his body automatically stood up and he gulped the surprise down his throat before he could attract more attention. Melody reaches to the hem of his shirt and he brought back his stares to him. He quivered his lips
"AAAAAAAAAH" Sky releases his grip towards his thread and let it float in the air just so he could cover his ears. This bitch...Sky kicked to the ground and with him was the thread who moved in what he thought it would go. That quite made the two taken aback because when they were about to move, the thread rushes towards them and they both got wounded over their ankles. A quake was made when they landed on the corpse filled land mixed with murky substances that Melody and Sky avoided to get to them. They tried to stand but the moment they put forced into their limbs, they fall again like bridge in a famous song in his past world. Sky and Melody looked at one another before they giggled like little kids over their bully friends. "Are you satisfied or should I make them suffer more?" He whispered to Melody who looked at him with glistening eyes and nodded his head until it hurts and that made Sky chuckled and put his hand over
A long silence had engulped them.Sky was staring to vast nothingness with his enhanced eyes.Is what he did the right thing? Or is it something he had done out of his whim? His silence is eating him and seeing that the earlier snarl and growl of monsters below them are nothing now, it seems like he completely eradicated them. He took a breath and his lungs ballooned before it deflated after releasing the air he caged in for a while. Is it from relief? A sigh of guilt? But what robbed him of his thoughts was when Melody flew high on top of his head and patted it with a smile that could cure a broken heart.Why would he succumbed to such weakness and thoughts? He made the action knowing full well what he needed to take consequences of. So why is he drowning into thoughts that had already given an answer already? Sky chuckled that made Melody giggled as well for mistooking it because of what he did but partiall
Hello everyone, this is Twelfth Moon. I would like to thank all of you that had read this till the ends and stayed from my rollercoaster and messed up writing. I would like to thank my friends that had been my inspiration and had given me the mental support that I needed to finish this book. Cygne had been a difficult character to express from the ups and downs of his emotions and the confusing way I might have portrayed him. I would like to apologized if I made some confusing plots that might get you bored from reading it. Again I wish you all well during this time and I hope that you guys achieved the things you wanted in life and continue on living. I love you guys and thank you for reading The Great One. -Twelfth Moon
"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
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
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. Like the hum
