Third person’s POV
The blasting of the cannons, the yells and screams of bleeding hearts full of strong desire to grasp justice and stability, are all gone. The field that had once grown vast seas of dandelions now was covered in crimson blood.
Cruelty, deceit, and wondrous bloodshed. Killing and rivalry had never left the world.
His eyes were like raging seas, his every step closer and nearer to where the subject is was like thunder meeting the ground. The fire had been ignited and there was no turning back.
“We met again,” he spoke.
Amidst the dark skies with only the shine of the
Adira’s POV“How many had Sinandaya sent?” I asked Tyler, Sinandaya’s second-in-command, while I stand on the military camp reserves’ portion.“Five platoons under His Highness’ order,” he answered with his hands crossed behind him. Right, from the moment Sinandaya has been brought back on Claveria’s map and its existence to the other territories’ eyes, Felipe Homura finally was crowned as the prince regent and should’ve been formally Sinandaya’s Emperor if it weren’t because of me who pulled another war. If it weren’t because of Tyler, I couldn’t have known the reason why Felipe left abruptly.“Does it in
Death… is never evitable. Life has started the sprout. And then when it blossoms and reaches the end, they’re sent to death. That’s why they called them best of friends. “What would you want to be your reward, Gaia?” His voice reverberates inside my head. It still sounds euphonious even if it’s only a memory. “Balaraw. Hand me a dagger that is winged with a symbol of nobility and a warrior. I want it to be finely-worked with precious metals and ivory.” A tear fell down and blotted the cream color of the ivory handle. My fingers simply glided it away as I pulled the blade off from its sheath. &nbs
Episode 1: The AlphaIf I can turn back time, I wish I didn’t leave.This pain and torment they’ve caused still lingers,And revenge is my morphine.“To be a great leader, acknowledge your boundaries. Study your tactic and focus on defenses.”I smiled as father taught me of these things. A war on a battlefield is an unending history, both an honor and a sacrifice. Being the General’s daughter, everything was complicated. A ceaseless deliberation, a risky life-and-death situation, that I must take over. It was fourth moon when I returned home from the academy, witnessing an unexpected scenery.“Your kind can never be superior to us.”A tear escaped from my
“Nonsense.” Holding a chalice full of red wine, I gritted my teeth to such thought. An Alfarro will always be an Alfarro, they’re deceptive and ferocious. I should have not underestimated this Abberant Alpha, seems like I will be needing more time to take his complete favor. “Commander Gaia,” another voice called, making me turn back to the banquet hall. This home coming feast was part of their customs after every army have successfully won a battle. A tribute perhaps. I raised my cup, giving them a toast. I can’t risk staying inside with the faint smell I can’t t
“Commander Gaia of the fifth infantry division, the Alpha has given out a mandate for you.” A loud voice and a destructive banging of the door woke me up. I aggravatedly closed my eyes and tossed this thick green blanket as I get up from bed. “It’s an urgent mandate, the Alpha said.” It’s a new face, I wonder who this is. “Commander,” he repeated as he handed me a letter with its ash seal still intact. My forehead creased as I opened it, a mandate? What would he want me to do? “Fifth Infantry Division’s Commander, Several reports of a massive vampire town settling on the border of the Abberant and the Madfur Okami Territory has been
Sun sets, and the entire army was bound to return to Abberant. Mounted on a horse, I calmly lead the voyage. Down a valley, where clouds heads down to touch the earth and the greeneries kissing the last drop of sunshine. A simple gesture on my hand released thousands of silver arrows from the sky. “Assassins!” “Watch out!” “Protect the Commander!” Dozens surrounded me in an instance, sheltering me from the flaming arrows. With no hesitation, I draw out the sword from my left and mercilessly slashed their throats
Episode 5: An Alfarro“Forget it,” He murmured, grabbing my hand as he walks away.“What’s with my hand? Why are you dragging me?” I complained but he did not answer. He walks faster and faster like he’s chasing someone which I do not understand why he needs to take my hand. My forehead creased as I let my legs follow him until we reached a cliff. The edge of the cliff that boasts the best place to see such scenery, a smile suddenly was painted on my lips unrestrained. I stepped closer at the cliff’s furthermost part and stretched out my arms. The full moon seems to draw really close that I can touch even the glow it possesses, sceneries like these makes my heart finds its ca
Episode 6: Sign“Did he leave?” I questioned which I later then answered on my own, “Of course he did, you wouldn’t come here if he is still around.”“I do not know if you really get it or you’re just acting unaware,” Diego enunciated as he wipes off the remaining drips of blood on his neck. “He is my father, do you think I would just stand there and watch you two kill each other?”“It could’ve been a wonderful live performance for you to watch.” He chortled as he turned away and walked towards the opened veranda door. “If I am you, yes I might’ve done that. But I am not someone wh

“I’m not gonna shut unless you tell me what happened at the field,” I irritatedly replied when she again yelled at me to shut up. But still, she didn’t answer what I ask for and darted me a glare before taking it back to the tiny creature he was holding. “I’m not a good storyteller. Just do ask your good friend when he comes back later.” My eyes automatically rolled and lay my back on a standing pillow as I sip from a glass of blood. Then she suddenly talked, starting a decent conversation perhaps.“Do you have a name for him?” I shook my head and flung a plain stare at the sleeping baby in
Third person’s POV*Sinandaya; A week before Diego had left Abberant pack for the convocation in Shadowstone“It seems like you want to find something.” Snow is falling so hard. The windows are all shut tight except for the door that slammed open from the outside. In came a woman zipping her leather jacket. Her hair was untied and messed up flowing with the wind.“I know you,” blurted the man sitting on a single-seater couch facing the lighted fireplace. Her hair with a streak of crimson red settled on her shoulder when she tied it slowly as her feet approaches the man with a tied dark brunette hair.“So, you get cold too? Didn&rsqu
“What? They’re declaring what?” I almost tip over when one of Mayari’s team suddenly flashed down from the front carrying a sealed letter. And Pinansey-angan’s attack was stopped unanticipatedly.“Ceasefire, General. They want to pause temporarily.” My brows furrowed even more that I snatched the letter from her. But instead of a decent group of words, what’s written was a bunch of meaningless ones. ‘The Senate’s judgment.’“Why should I care about the Senate’s judgment?” I muttered irately with my fist clenching the piece of paper.
“The princess regent of Daghum committed the most ridiculous thing during a war. Hmm, never have expected that,” Marco casually commented as his eyes travel meters towards the enemies’ side. It’s almost set. Only a few more hours and the sun will be buried in the east, the signal for them to attack.“For now, we should leave her case for tomorrow. We have a problem that much needed our attention than hers. Do you two have something in mind?” I questioned them. Mayari talked and pointed Daghum’s army on the far corner of the frontier’s first line of defense. “What happens to them? I don’t think they will be under our control, now that their commander had left.”
Being told about my pathetic chronicle, Mayari shut silent about the Abberant’s side and didn’t ask any more questions. Except these two; the current beta of Sanguine and the princess regent of Daghum, trying to crack the shell.“I am warning you, Lady. If you dare step in my way, I’m gonna kill you.”“Oh, really? As if you can approach me, not even an inch, lowl!”“What? Do you think you’re that difficult to slit?” Since these two entered the tent for the convocation, they’re like cat and dog trying to kill each other in quarreling. One’s defending Abberant and the other against his side.
“Gaia!” Mayari blurted, eyeing the black stallion I’m in. Edith’s right, they’re all in here. Abberant’s main frontier, specifically in the fallen first and second lines of defense, was now retained by three divisions; Daghum, Sanguine, and Mayari’s platoon.“I need the plan,” I opened. Leaping down the horse and walking towards Mayari. A sword was on her side and attached to her leather-like chest plate were clusters of tiny daggers and blades, and if I would guess, it was not only secret weapons that were resting inside every clutch but of other useful things like pieces of cloth and perhaps tablets. “The&mda
