Cassio stayed in the kitchen for several minutes to fry the pig nose which he had cut to proportionate sizes.Sizzle!The chunks of pig nose sank into the golden oil, its skin changing from pale white to golden colour.A tantalizing aroma wafted the whole kitchen, seeping out through spaces to the entire house. Anyone who smelt this aroma wouldn't help but salivate instantly, greedily wishing to have at least a bite of the dish.Cassio proceeded to take a bottle of ground pepper, sprinkling it across the glistening oil. After that he added ground crayfish and salt. These condiments seeped right through the bubbling oil into the chunks of pig nose, giving them a shade of brownish colour."I'll try seeing what this book is all about this night," Cassio told himself as he turned the chunks of flesh with a spatula. "It shouldn't be simple with such aura."~Ethan couldn't help but sniff in air, his face squeezing up. After a few seconds he relaxed his face, his eyes shining with delight.
The ten masked men were all standing in front of Ethan, obscuring his only escape path. Although it was broad daylight they all seemed to be basked in darkness, a terrifying aura emanating from all of them. But then the aura from the man with a staff was thicker than all of them, suppressing the aura from the other nine."God..." Ethan was very much scared. Even being couldn't describe the bleak situation he was in right now."Give us the book," the man with staff said, "and we will grant you a swift death."This intonation? Ethan was surprised, his eyebrows arching as he asked, "Are you british?"The man looked at his comrades with a common thought, Is this kid a blockhead? Didn't he just hear the threat?"I'm telling you the last time," the man said in his british accent, his eyes turning miasmal, "give us the book!""What book?" Ethan asked in a dumbfounding manner. I don't know any book they are talking about."The book about Cthulhu Mythos!" the man was becoming impatient. Time w
Cassio walked out of the portal followed by Chase who kept arguing that it was better for Ethan's balls to be chewed raw to prevent him from telling on them. Cassio instinctively closed his legs, remembering what had happened earlier. How could his golden retriever be so brutal?After laying Ethan on the settee in the sitting room, Cassio stood next to him and wondered what he should do next."I'm still saying it and I'll say it again," Chase said. "Lemme crush his balls!"His eyes shone with delight as he wagged his tail excitingly. He couldn't wait to show his expertise in biting balls again. Shouldn't he be called, Ball Crusher?Cassio roughly shook his head, "If we wanted him to die we should have just left him in the hands of those thugs.""That was before he knew I could talk," Chase quickly showed his displeasure."Then we'll find other means," Cassio said as he looked down on Ethan who had cracked his eyes open.Ethan stared at Cassio and then at Chase, wondering what he was d
The trio were very quiet, pondering what the woman had just said right now about the realm which existed—the realm called Stivilli. Cassio didn't take it to heart because he had dreamed about it, Chase was a little flustered but Ethan felt entirely different—as if he had been led to a whole new world of knowledge.Ethan silently sat down and asked Catha, "This Stivilli, it exists in another universe, right?"Hearing this question Cassio couldn't help but become surprised. When did Ethan who was naturally a blockhead know about universes? What happened to him being blockhead?"What's your definition of a universe?" Catha asked, becoming interested in Ethan's question.Cassio who was more knowledgeable couldn't help but sit down and listen to what Ethan would say in relation to Catha's question.Chase on the other hand eagerly sat down on the floor and waited for Ethan to say something stupid and provocative to the woman. That way him chewing off his balls would be justified.Ethan took
Patrick and his daughter led Cassio and Ethan through the market to their house with Chase following behind. The village had several wooden houses and huts which were of a very low quality. Obviously people living here were poor and only made a living through fishing, farming and trading. There were a few people in the village and so it was not crowded. There was so much space around."Welcome to Arthur's Village," Patrick said as he walked towards a hut and pushed the door open. The old door creaked as it was pushed backwards, almost falling off its hinges."Arthur's Village?" Cassio asked. Who was Arthur and why was the village named after him?"You don't know Arthur?" Joana was shocked, her mouth agape. Who in Camelot didn't know who Arthur was?Cassio narrowed his blue eyes and was about to say something cold when Ethan's voice broke through, "Sorry to trouble you but can you tell us about Arthur? We've lost our memories about everything except for our names.The hut was very shab
"Uh...you asked us to feel at home, right?" Ethan asked with a puzzled look. "Yes, I asked you to feel at home," Patrick said, sizing up this Ethan kid once more. "So does using your old clothes as rags count as feeling at home?" Ethan asked. Patrick's face darkened, "No one uses treasures for rags." "But your clothes don't look like treasures," Ethan muttered inaudibly. "Ruff," Chase rubbed his body at Cassio's right calf as he turned to stare at the three large tilapia fish hanging by the fireplace. Cassio turned to look and then narrowed his blue eyes. I think I need to cook but I don't know why. Well, recipes are coming into my head and I might have another migraine if I don't try to cook. "I have to go out fishing," Patrick said. "I would have stayed to cook but time's running out." Of course that was true. After rescuing the noble kids he had spent much time taking them home, preparing medicine for them and watching them get bandaged. It was so time consuming and
In a couple of minutes Joana and Ethan were already done with eating, their plates licked clean. Their eyes were watery, begging Cassio for more food."Hehe," Cassio chuckled to himself as he raised his chin in pride, his eyes gazing at Joana with triumphant."Please I want to eat more!" Ethan begged as he dropped to his kneels, his voice becoming surprisingly feminine.Cassio was disgusted and waved his hands, "Stop that already. It's gross.""But...but..." Ethan muttered sadly."Can I have one more plate?" Joana asked as she stared at the big plate of food on Cassio's laps."Funny enough, you're not been honourable," Cassio said. "I won, remember? You brought the betting terms."Of course Cassio forgot about the kissing part but Joana remembered everything and blushed deeply."What?" Cassio asked in a puzzled manner as he stared at Ethan who looked as if he had swallowed a bar of soap. "Why are you looking at me like that? You don't want her to kowtow to me?""N-not that..." Ethan w
Ouch, I feel so weak!My body feels so weak!Cassio gradually opened his eyes, his chest heaving gently as he took in a deep breathe. The sun rays penetrated the cracks in the roof and radiated through the windows, making him to shut his eyes immediately. After some time he opened his eyes and moved his hands. He tried sitting up but felt very weak. That was when his hand bumped against something. At first he was alarmed but calmed down when he felt that the object was as soft as silk.Gosh, I was alarmed for nothing...Cassio took a deep breathe as his left fingers fiddled with the silky object and that was when the thing moved."..."Cassio was momentarily stumped, his fingers curled around several hair strands which he had mistaken for silk."Ah..." a soft feminine moan came from beside the bed, causing Cassio to freeze. Then the object which turned out to be someone's head moved in his direction.Both boy and girl stared at each other in a daze for some time, their mouth agape. All
