Voyage of Mysteries Chapter Fifty Four: Normalcy
Who or what truly is a Sefirah? Who truly is a Godfather? These are the questions I ask myself anytime I find myself moving through stories, doing deeds that please the readers. These questions shouldn't bother only me but the readers as well as I have found the answer for them all. It's just that...just that I find it hard to accept. It's difficult to accept them all.A Sefirah is any being chosen to represent a particular Godfather, bearing an attribute of that Godfather. Sefirot serve as vessels and spokespeople for Godfathers, carrying their essences and wills.Hehe, simple huh? Well, in course of my travelling across Surreal Halls and fending off Eidolons[1] by myself, I've understood a great deal about myself but I'm not willing to accept this. At least not yet! Sefirot are not just representatives! That was a lie told by the Godfathers or They had no reason to tell us the truth and fed us what we needed to hear. A Sefirah is actually the physical...Well, I'll save this answer s
Voyage of Mysteries Chapter Fifty Five: Blockhead Ethan
Cassio walked to the sitting room which was relatively small but cosy, highly furnished and beauty. He opened the pulled a white curtain aside and peeped through the window to see if the blockhead Ethan would come despite his firm rejection. Except for the green lawn, pine trees and short wooden fence, there was no sign of Ethan.I guess he isn't a blockhead after all, Cassio closed the curtain and let out a deep sigh of relief. It wasn't actually his fault that he wasn't social—that he was typically selective with people he even interacted with. He was an INFJ[1] and there was nothing he could do about that. He couldn't be blamed for being a Cancer[2]. You see, he was born on the 22nd of June, 2006 and that determined his behavioural traits (so he claimed).Ruff!A dog barked beside him. He turned around and saw his golden retriever [3] standing a meter away from him as he wagged his tail. Chase was such an intelligent and cute golden retriever whom he had found by chance and adopted
Voyage of Mysteries Chapter Fifty Six: Masked Men
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.
Voyage of Mysteries Chapter Fifty Seven: Cassio is a Superhero? Cool!
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
Voyage of Mysteries Chapter Fifty Eight: Curiosity Kills the Cat
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
Voyage of Mysteries Chapter Fifty Nine: Other World
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
Voyage of Mysteries Chapter Sixty: Feel at Home
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
Voyage of Mysteries Chapter Sixty One: "My Culinary Skills"
"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

Chapter Ninety Nine: Serenity
Cassio and the others who were present on the battlefield and were still alive were healed by the clergyman who had just arrived to stop Walter. He was a Rank six Archbishop of the Church of the Moon and currently oversaw all the affairs of Arthur's City in place of the Prelate who wasn't always around. Like the other clergymen he was cladded in a white robe with silver threads embroidered across, a silver pendant with a moon emblem hanging down his neck. His hair was white as snow while his eyes were as blue as the sea and calm as the morning breeze. His aura soothed everything around, making the battle scene seem like a paradise. Unfortunately apart from Cassio, Ken and Louis every other knight who had attacked Walter lost his life. All of their corpses had being mangled beyond recognition, their armous shredded. "He's being dealt with," the Archbishop said as he pointed at Walter who was now unconscious with his right hand. His action was very smooth and graceful, making the t

Chapter Ninety Eight: Sleep
A young girl walked towards a castle casually. She had sea blue eyes and white long hair resting on her shoulders, her facial appearance gorgeous. She was dressed in a white floral gown, making her look more graceful like a swan. But within those eyes which appeared calm, were waves of turbulence which seemed to swallow whoever looked into them.Soon she got close to the castle and saw several guards standing there with their long spears. They were all dressed in black full body armours with a red dragon emblem imprinted upon them. They all narrowed their eyes within the helmet visors when they saw her."Halt!" one of them shouted as he pointed his spear at her. "How did you breach the castle's defenses?"The young girl smiled before turning back to glance in a particular direction, "It was a casual stroll past those guards."The other guards couldn't help but look at each other before thrusting their spears at her. They didn't know if she had dealt with the other guards or sneaked in

Chapter Ninety Seven: Power of the Destined One
As the clergyman stepped forward, the other knights couldn't help but tighten their grips around their swords. With the power of a Priest, there was nothing this fugitive would do to escape right now. He was nothing but a magician at the Magic Circle array and a knight at the Will Projecting tier. There was no way he was going through the entire army of Arthur's City plus the clergymen who can change circumstances with mere words. It was said that powerful ones could affect reality itself by just saying it. Apart from knights and magicians, clergymen were another group of insanely powerful individuals favoured by the Supreme Goddess!"You can choose to give up and resist, Walter Anderson," the Priest said. "You've suffered a lot and need to be relieved of your resentment."Walter slowly pointed his sword at the Priest before saying, "You're right. I've suffered a lot and need to relieve my resentment. And that's why I must not be captured!"Sword of Crying Phoenix!He immediately empl

Chapter Ninety Six: The Destined One
Cassio walked around the market through the crowd of people as he looked at the items for sale. Many people cast their gazes at him in horror as they moved away to maintain a distance. No, they were looking at something wrapped around his neck."That kid...he's wrapping a mutated python around his neck like some accessory!""He killed it?""Definitely. Look, it's still bleeding!""He looks like one of the knights. He's so young!""Wait, isn't that the style of cloth for the royal bodyguards?""This kid must be terrifying!""Didn't you hear? He's Cassio Patrick, Prince Ken's bodyguard! It's said he's even a Swordsman!""Unbelievable!"While the knowledgeable commoners conversed among themselves, the ordinary ones listened with rapt attention as they asked questions. Of course Cassio heard them but he proceeded to walk without saying anything.Suddenly he heard several bells chime, signifying an alarm. Soon several knights ran through the markets, ordering everyone to retreat into their

Chapter Ninety Five: Development
Cassio moved along with Medusa silently, evading the guards who were patrolling the castle even in broad daylight. He sometimes used the trees as covers and sometimes the statues. Several times the guards would hear footsteps which no doubt belonged to Medusa (who wasn't as nimble as Cassio) and run in that direction. But by the time they were there Cassio was long gone with Medusa. He moved like the wind.Soon they successfully arrived a concealed tunnel on Medusa's direction. This tunnel had a metallic door blocking it. Medusa didn't fret as she took out a hairpin from within her dress, slotting it into the keyhole before turning it professionally."How long have you been doing this?" Cassio couldn't help but ask. With the way Medusa was familiar with the whole lockpick it seemed she had used years to practise this action before becoming a master at it.Click!The door was unlocked and Medusa pushed it open with a smile, "First time I came to the castle I was so depressed and left o

Chapter Ninety Four: Princess Katrina
Medusa clutched her stomach as Cassio led her to the servants quarters. As they went through the hallway she couldn't help but stagger like a drunkard as she blabbered. She even pressed her face to Cassio's face and muttered something about a god coming down to cook for her. Cassio was dumbfounded.I didn't know my cooking would be terrifying, Cassio thought to himself as he continued holding the girl. She slowly directed him to her room and opened the door. As a maidservant assigned to the prince's bodyguard, she was privileged to have a room of her own even though it wasn't grand. It was actually small with a small bed and a wooden cupboard. Despite this it was very clean without any sign of dust or cobweb.Cassio couldn't help but become embarrassed as he remembered the situation of his room. It was always very untidy if not for Medusa who always came to clean it up. This was due to his extreme laziness which was unparalleled just like his culinary abilities.Shifting the thought o

Chapter Ninety Three: Being a Foodie is Awesome
Clang! Clang! Clang!Series of white lights flashed as two blades clashed with each other. One was the blade of a large broadsword half the size of a adult while the other belonged to a saber."Being a knight is all about surviving!" Ken yelled as he continued attacking Cassio, forcing the latter to go defensive. He didn't even give him a slight chance of attacking. "One second of lagging and you're dead!"Cassio's hands were now becoming numb as he blocked Ken's terrifying strikes. Even though this Boxer had reduced his power by a big margin, his strength was still terrifying. When the two blades collided, Cassio could feel his blood boil. Every organ in his body screamed in pain as he blocked Ken's sword strikes.Ken slashed at Cassio's chest, his broadsword tearing through the air. Silvery ripples appeared in the sword's direction, heading alongside the sword towards Cassio.I've always being weak all my life, Cassio thought within himself as he lunged forward. I've never had a cha

Chapter Ninety Two: Little Wishes Are Terrifying
There was silence in the underground cave for some moments before the genie cleared his throat and transformed into a little child with a puff of smoke. This child looked very normal and was dressed like a noble child, golden ornaments decorating his body. Seeing this Philemon couldn't help but widen his eyes which were shining brightly. He felt like snatching the genie lamp right now and becoming the genie's master. If he wished for more wishes that would be insane! Wishing for more genies would be unimaginable! On the other hand the Chief remained very reserved as he said, "There's no problem with that wish so you can grant it with immediate effect." This is why I don't do business with magicians, the genie couldn't help but frown slightly as he closed his eyes, "Coming up!" He then rubbed his chubby hands together, causing an ethereal energy to surround him. The cave trembled for moments as this ethereal energy split into several other energies. These energies had different

Chapter Ninety One: "Open Sesame"
Some miles away from Arthur's City, Camelot's capitalSeveral horses neighed as they galloped across the desert, their long legs digging deep into the hot sands. The riders were all dressed in black outfits which seemed like bandages, hoods over their heads and masks covering their mouths. Scythes were strapped their sides or backs, their eyes narrowing with fierce gazes. This was none other than the Chaldeans, the most powerful and notorious bandits in Camelot. Now the Chaldeans had increased in number and they were now about one hundred skilled bandits.As they rode, only one individual remained in the front of the caravan. His eyes were even more fiercer than the rest and he had a terrifying aura around him. He would occasionally lashed at his black horse, making it neigh as it galloped faster. The others also did the same, following closely behind him.After riding for about an hour, the man in front, who was obviously the leader of the Chaldeans, halted. He raised his left hand u
