Maru wanted to take another route of escape once again but his sister's words stopped him cold.
"Is father not here? Tell me, brother. I can take it. I'm a big girl already. Is that it? Were you just lying to me all this time?" These words of accusations rang in the air and Maru felt his heart get crushed.
He wanted to open his mouth but no words came out. With how hurt his sister appeared, Maru knew what would happen next. And so he could only do what he can.
"Uwyn." Maru muttered and hugged the little girl in his arms. After this, Uwyn bawled like a baby.
"You liar! I hate you, brother!" Uwyn cried and her tears marred the d
Maru decided to keep to himself and spare Uwyn some cause for disappointment. This world was ugly and it seemed like he can't keep his sister out of the muck for any longer."Really, brother?!" Uwyn asked once more."Hmmm..." Maru smiled and only nodded gently towards his sister."Oh... my poor lovely Fiona..." Uwyn whispered softly and took the magical beast into her arms in a babe's carry.It was good that Fiona's intellect was not that inferior to a human's and thus, she continued to close her eyes and enjoyed the caress of her master, Uwyn."We want
The old man gained from his past experiences that silence and impoliteness would only bring a harsher and harder beating unto himself.During those times, not only would his body be bleeding and broken all over but the old man was also drained mentally and emotionally as a result of the thrashings.This particularly true a long long time ago when he still bore the hope of getting out of this place. With each failed escape, the old man suffered crueler torments than anything imaginably possible.There were times when he was so close to the doors of death itself and it was extremely easy to give up. To not eat nor drink and just waste his life away in silence.
Eldon closed his eyes once more and thanked the usually unfeeling gods for this rare feat of mercy."CLAP!""CLAP!""CLAP!" a piercing sound broke the revelry of the trio after 5 more minutes of silence.It came from a near distance and yes, the sole culprit behind the disruption could have only been the fat man. The first to ever witness the reunion of one father and his children."I would love to stay here as my heart turns even mushier with all the familial love that you've shown me today but i can't waste my time any longer. I still have to pass a re
"You promise?" Uwyn asked again."I promise, Uwyn." Eldon nodded his head and as time went by, he was regaining the use of his faculties as it was becoming easier for him to talk normally."Pinky swear!" Uwyn replied and raised her pinky finger up towards her father."Pinky swear?" Eldon was lost for words but copied the unfamiliar words and repeated it on his own."Pinky swear is the most sacred of oaths, father. Let me show you how it's done." Uwyn started."First you need to make a fist, then open your right pinky up. Like this."
Maru did not reply with a word but only nodded his head in response."Brother's pet is called Ash, father!" Uwyn offered once more after Ash had graced everyone's vision with his mighty appearance.Though he might be a miniature dragon but nobody would be inspired to caress his body with how ferocious he looked even with his diminutive size.Eldon gazed at the magical beasts in his care and realized just now that every single one of them were silent.They neither moved nor even made audible wheezing sounds that usually accompanied their breathing."They'
Eldon was glad that he was feeling better than anytime he could ever recall since forever.There was strength in his limbs and he could even experience that continued revival of his spirits with every breath that he took.He did not know if it was because of his children or not but he concluded that they were most probably one of the reasons for his rejuvenation."How long has it been since i've last seen the sun and the sky?" Eldon thought as he gazed upon the bright horizon above. It was beautiful. Simply breathtaking! He continued within."We have someone we need to take with us, Uwyn. You'll see once we get there." Maru sm
"I'm Maru and she is my sister, Uwyn. We're happy to see you today, Daisy." said Maru.His heart went out for the child. Her shabby thin dress barely protected her from the elements and even her face seemed gaunt with not enough nutrition into her small body."How about your grandpa? What's his name?" Daisy asked once more and pointed on the distant old man who was accompanied by Fiona and Ash.She was curious about the cute flying creatures and had wanted to approach them for a time and maybe touch them but she was afraid that she might offend them.Her aunt Lily had always reminded her to be wary of her actions towards peopl
It was ineffective but it broke the heart of her father. In the end, Eldon released his daughter and put her down."Aunt Lily!""Brother!" Daisy ran towards her family the moment her feet touched the ground."So shall we?" Maru asked again with a smile."Yes." was all Lily answered because she had no choice but to do it. Her body and voice was controlled by an unseen influence.She had wanted to shout and crawl out of whatever this place was but she concluded that she could not. Lily was like a soul trapped within her own body. Powerless to stop what was
