There were tears threatening to fall at any moment and she hated the fact that even after all these years, she still has not let go of those memories.
Of the past that she both hated and loved at the same time. She wished she could forget.
But alas, even that simple joy was taken away from one who was doomed to live for as long as time persisted and the lands of creation still existed.
Maru saw the hurts of his beloved and chose to remain quiet. His company was enough and he needed no words but his presence alone in this moment of her weakness.
"Thank you, Maru." Ezperanza sent via her divine sense while keeping her eyes close
The nation has still been mending the wounds of the result of the alien invasion. The term was tame if truth be told because what has happened was more than that alone.It was a ruthless conquest! Pure and simple."My agent, her name is Dana Acosta, has something important to tell us." Roger replied as if in deep thought as he too put aside his cup of coffee for a moment.The two looked at each other's eyes and one need not be a psychic to guess the outcome of this talk."That bad, huh?" one said."Yes, Mr. President. It is... for us." the other responde
A year passed without anyone's notice, save three lovers who busied themselves on each other's delights.When the hard and gentle strokes waned, the only man inside the room found himself on the soft comforts of two slumbering women.He rose up without their notice and exited the premises alone."Time to take my own dao path." Maru whispered the moment he created another stagnant space where time was inconsequential to the real state of the world.He could stay here for trillions of years and not another second would have elapsed on the outside. This was one of the deluxe perks of becoming an immortal.
"I missed you, Maru. I missed you a lot." Mistress Ais whispered on the other side."I missed you too. Both of you." Maru looked at each of his women with love in his eyes."Congratulations on becoming an Immortal, Ezperanza." he noted after gauging the strength of the woman on his left.And same as the last, Ezperanza had taken the route of self sacrifice. A dao of love and affection for others who were much weaker than she was. She was really a good woman, Maru concluded."How about you, Maru? Are you finally going to choose a dao path?" Ezperanza asked after showing her thanks with a hot kiss on the mouth of her beloved.
"I have been expecting you, Maru." the armored man said while sitting on his throne."I know. That's why I'm here. Let's finish this." Maru replied. He looked at the man and he did not know how long Nameless had been enjoying the view of this magnificent display of creation.Of a huge bright light that covered everything else in the distance. With a man of this kind of power he could have had anything he wished for. Money, women and all the pleasures of the world.Yet here he was, spending the last moments of his time with no one else around him. But perhaps Nameless carried within him his entire possession and loved ones. A world within his soul.
“Yes, this is indeed farewell, Maru.” Nameless replied.The man did not make any movement yet but remained hidden within the soul world of Maru as if awaiting for more branches on this final conversation between them.“So are you going to tell me the reason before we part ways? Why me?” Maru asked. There was no sound but silence for a long stretch of time.They were immortals and knew the meaning of patience very well. Even the cold gates were closing still as it cared not for the whimsical worries of the two trivial souls that conversed with one another.“You were right, Maru. I could have chosen
“Maybe I could still get back home from here.” Maru tried to convince himself even though how considerably minuscule his chances were.He turned around and attempted to walk back the way he came.“As i expected.” he muttered when he realized that he could not even take a single step to retrace his earlier path.His feet felt like it weighed more than a billion universes combined as it was solidly and firmly alighted down the cloudy plains that comprised his current scenery.Judging that his first plan failed, Maru did not give up. There was always a second plan after. And a third and so on. One was only
The duel between one active and the other passive was relentless throughout a time beyond measure. And no one knew how long it took before the ravings of a lunatic halted completely."Your fate will be pitiful, my child. I wish you a quick death in the Eternal Domains. But alas, I do not think that my wish will come to pass."the patient man said his final piece before flicking a grain of sand unto the turbid waters."Could you not have spared him, Father?" a voice queried from behind the patient man.He turned around and witnessed the exquisite beauty of a woman that even the gods and immortals of the Eternal Domains would bl
The patient man’s daughter was about to smile but she was stopped utterly by the change of aura she felt from her doting father.His eyes turned to a resplendent red while he gazed in all seriousness to the stunned countenance of Aurora."There is great unrest in the air, Aurora. I sense that the fallen ones would try to bid again for the lost throne. If that happens... When that happens... who knows what awaits us."the patient man whispered. His voice showcased the severity of his words."Without the strong will of the Primal Author over us... I fear that we will most likely succumb to the fates of..." mortals. The pat
