I moaned, and my body was tired, but I managed to get myself out of sleep. "You're finally awake," his voice said softly. I blinked several times as I tried to register where I was. The room smelled very sweet and natural. "My baby!" I exclaimed as I tried to sit up, but his hand pushed me back. "Easy, you just had surgery," he scolded as he helped me sit up. I lay in bed, and my eyes looked around the room I was in.I'm not in the hospital? "Where's my baby?" I whispered as I rubbed my throat, feeling a burning discomfort. I whispered, and he shrugged, shaking his head. "Here," he voiced out as he held the glass close to my lips. "Drink from the straw." Staring into his blue eyes, my mouth closed around the straw, and I drank as much water as I could. "What are you doing here?" I asked him as I leaned my back against the pillows. "Didn't Miall kick you out?" He chuckled as he crossed his leg over the other and shrugged. "I saved you. Isn't that all that matters?" Evand
I stared at the huge statue that Evander had fished from the water. It looked exactly like the one I saw in my dream when drowning in the ocean."So, nothing?" Evander asked as he put his hands on his hips, waiting expectedly.I slowly shook my head and gave him an apologetic look."No, I can't sense anything. It's just stone," I shrugged, and he sighed as he dropped his head."Just stone?" He squeaked out as he kicked a rock on the ground. "She's just stone!""Maybe it needs sacrifice?" I tried, and he looked at me, amused but mostly annoyed."What kind of crappy neighbourhood did you grow up in? Sacrifice? No, her stone body won't crack because her soul isn't here anymore," he said as he pointed between me and the stone."Well, where is her soul?" I asked, amused at how stressed he was about all of this."It was in you. It's probably buried deep somewhere in all that anguish you keep to yourself.""Anguish?" I asked, smiling. "I'm happy," I shrugged, and he groaned as he rolled his e
Third Person"What just happened?" Evander whispered as he stared at the broken window where Orion stood. "Where's Amanah?"Looking at Ylil, she had an unreadable expression as she held Auri in her arms, and Miall stared out the broken window blankly.Evander ran downstairs.Reaching where she had fallen, his steps slowed as he looked around the courtyard."What the?" He panicked as he looked for her. "Where is she?" He looked up at the third floor, wondering if he had been deceived."Hmm?" Ylil groaned as she looked at the spot where Amanah's lifeless body was supposed to be."Where is she?" She gritted as she stared at Evander."I should be asking you! I knew you were a sketchy bitch the moment you showed up," Evander roared, pointing his finger at Ylil. "And you!"He turned to face Miall.Evander felt rage coursing through his veins; his heart broke for Amanah. He knew what it was like to be killed by someone you loved."How could you do that to her?" He asked as he approached him.
ℭ𝔢𝔫𝔱𝔲𝔯𝔦𝔢𝔰 𝔄𝔤𝔬"So, how was the exam!?" Ylil asked me as she wrapped her arm around my shoulder and exited the examination centre."Argh, don't even ask me about it! At this rate, I won't even make it to being a disciple," I groaned as I wrapped my arm around her waist."That bad, huh?" She whispered as she held me tighter."Seriously bad," I whispered, feeling the tears form."I probably will just be a normal human by next month," I gulped as I roughly wiped my tears."Aria," she said softly."Enough about me, how was the exam for you!?""Hmm, it was okay," she nodded and I knew she was saying it was okay so that I wouldn't have to feel alone."It was super easy, wasn't it?" I asked her, smiling, and she clenched her teeth."Yeah, sorry," she whispered, and I laughed, shaking my head."You don't have to be sorry that I was born a bit dumber than you," I joked, and she stopped walking, looking furious. She hated it when I would be negative or mean to myself."A bit challenged
Orion held my hips as we kissed in the dark alleyway, his hands slowly trailing down my thighs to my ass, where he gently squeezed.Lifting me up and pressing against the wall, he grunted as he sucked on my tongue and pressed himself against me.I moaned as his hand rubbed my thigh softly, his teeth bit into my bottom lip, and I pressed my chest against his.Pulling away from the kiss, Orion stared at me with drunk eyes, and I believe I gave him just a lust-filled gaze. Without saying anything, he helped me down and held my hand, guiding me through the alleyway.Orion would occasionally squeeze my hand, and I would squeeze his back just to let him know I was okay. I couldn't believe that had happened. Was he mad? Did he like it as much as I did? I want to kiss again.Biting onto my bottom lip, I sighed softly, feeling the pain from his bite. Orion turned around and stared at my lips. Moving in closer, he held my chin and released my bottom lip from between my teeth."Don't do that," he
Lunaria POV"Are you just gonna stand by the door?" I asked.The day was so heavy today and I was truly exhausted. I lay on my bed face-front refraining from screaming."It's so crazy how you've become so aware of everything since you became the Supreme Goddess," Orion chuckled as he entered my room."I have eyes everywhere now," I said. "And they're all weeping," I whispered as I got up and faced him."Come on, it's not that bad," he smiled as he sat beside me, and pressed a soft kiss on my shoulder. "You're just under a lot of stress.""I really thought I'd just be a disciple at best, Ylil is most suited for this role," I said as I leaned against him."You've been saying that for three years already, but you were chosen for this role because you have something Ylil doesn't have," he said as he massaged my head."What is it that I have besides being terrible at making decisions? I'm not even a scholar," I grumbled. "That feels really good," I sighed closing my eyes."You're empathetic.
Third Person"What caused you to wake up, Supreme Goddess?" Seifer asked as he stood up from his kneeling position."All the persons I created from my guilt have finally passed on, so that freed me from my prison," Lunaria smiled as she answered."Are you really free from your guilt?" Ylil asked as she glared at Lunaria."No," Lunaria answered simply. "Are you free from your guilt, Ylil?" She asked as she stared into her eyes."I have none," Ylil bit out, and Lunaria nodded as she looked around her temple."That is sad," she whispered.Her eyes landed on Miall, who was still having a hard time breathing. He pressed his head on the ground, writhing in pain."You're the one that's sad!" Ylil shouted, and all the other gods gave her a warning look.Even though they didn't agree with Lunaria's decisions, they still were obligated to protect her."I know," Lunaria said as she kept her eyes on Miall's form. "What's wrong with them?" She asked as she pointed to Miall. "Why have you sealed Ori
I wiped the counter thoughtlessly as I stared ahead. On all the days this bar could be empty, it chose today?Only a few regulars were here and none of them were exciting."You should plaster a smile on that face, Amanah," I stared at Frank with an annoyed look, and he laughed as he flipped the cocktail shaker in the air and caught it with his right hand behind his back, show off."What are you even doing here?""I came to help," I whined as I leaned against the counter and stared at Frank as he worked."You're scaring my customers away; look attractive," he scolded, and I widened my eyes."But I am attractive," I pulled my overalls and stared at him, disappointed. "Anyway, I had this dream, right," I started excitedly, and he put his hand up."Tell me all about it after you serve that customer over there. He only ever comes here whenever you visit," he said, and I raised my eyebrow."So you think it's safe for me to go serve a potential stalker?""Uh, yes. I have bills to pay, Miss Mi
