It was indeed freezing outside, but I wanted to know where I am, that’s why I opened the window. I peeked outside; it started raining, the wind was running towards my direction, whipping my back with drops of the rain that began to get stronger. I darted to close the window, I can’t afford to become sick again, and I don’t want to offend the owner.
The young man had the brightest blue eyes that I’ve ever seen. His hair seemed like a fire put over his head that kept burning over and over again. He was wearing a thick shirt torn by the right sleeve but was fixed just recently.
« I am thankful for saving me, my Lord. I hope that I could pay you for your benevolence to me but I need to leave as soon as possible, my friend is a general, and he would be glad to pay you back, » I said bowing my head slightly on my hands.
I was waiting for him to tell me to raise
My eyes fell on the empty grate; the room was bitterly cold. I don’t know how I ended up here, my mate fainted. I was scared that something has happened to her, the next moment I blinked I found myself in this strange room. Standing still behind me the closed door, I was waiting patiently someone’s order. I moved to the empty grate and bent down, trying to use my magic to light a small flame to enlighten the darkroom. Strangely, I couldn’t cast a simple spell. I felt awkward.« It’s no use; you don’t need to warm me, I am used to the cold, » it was a familiar woman’s voice.I couldn’t see a thing because of the darkness. I drew back. Strangely, my senses were all declined, I couldn’t smell like I used to and I couldn’t see in the darkness, as if I was a human. From the window, the moon’s light was making me the silhouette of a hand pointing at m
He played with his glass of wine then he got up while she was taking her clothes off, he walked to her, and he emptied the rest of his drink on her head. It gave her white hair a slightly reddish colour in some parts. Her eyes still empty. Acting like a doll, doing what he ordered her to do. If I were in my body, I would’ve already ripped his throat. I couldn’t do anything, she told me to stay still, but I followed her. Where is the thing that showed that she seduced him? She was obviously the victim here. Why didn’t she run away? Just say something, show ma that you don’t want this. Defend yourself; I’ll help you. I know how to fight. I couldn’t even get out of this room.«Now, I want you to crawl to me.»He shattered his glass on the ground. She crawled over it; he told her to redo it three times, her blood was covering the ground now. I couldn’t st
« Do you want some? I can buy something for you, » I said, caressing her arm.« Do you think that I’ll be able to have a happy ending? »« Sure. Why not? »«I wonder.»She looked at me then pulled me to a stall selling grilled chicken. I bought her what she wanted. We spent a good night enjoying the festival; the food, the costumes, the dances, the magic display… I was preoccupied with two robust men that we bumped into; the glared at us without apologizing. I wanted to scold them, but my mate pulled me, warning me that attracting any undesirable attraction wasn’t going to benefit anyone. We would just be exposed. They were suspicious; they had a mercenary attire. After strolling the street for a short time, I noticed that there were robust men eve
I opened my eyes and got slapped by reality. I had a blackout; I don’t remember a thing from what happened. I only remembered that I fainted in the Lord’s arms. I turned my head in every direction and noticed that the Lord had just woke up too. The most important confusing thing is that we were in the ruins of Agammon. I remember them from my last trip to one of the Empire cities. Fortunately, no one was paying attention to me. They all had their attention on him. I blushed because he was really someone handsome. The sun was high in the sky, and it was showing his features more clearly now. I couldn’t stay here. I needed to run away. I can’t just stay with someone that claimed that he wouldn’t hurt me and the situation that I was in wasn’t good. Instead of the plain dress that I was wearing, I was dressed up in that midnight blue dress. I don’t know when I changed my clothes. Perhaps someone chan
I must jolt myself forward. I got up, fiery look in my eyes. I felt too light. As if I was a bird, I had the urge to go flying, but I had my two feet on the ground. I tilted my head and screamed at my body that was pulled away by an unknown force. I ran behind it, trying to catch, but it disappeared right in front of me.Am I dead?I stumbled and fell on my two hands resulting in injuring them. I was flabbergasted by the awkwardness of the situation. I didn’t feel like a dying person or a dead one. I was injured by a simple fall; that means that I am still alive. Right now, I cannot leave without my body. I pivoted on a whim and spotted a ghost floating in front of me.« Do I seem like I am presenting a show? If you don’t look around I’ll get your eyes out and cook them then I’ll feed the infected with them, » I said.
I opened my eyes wide and excused myself, letting him continue his walk always looking around. I felt like I was disparaged; I couldn’t convey a word to him. I ran back to him, remembering the question that I wanted to ask.« Excuse me but, were you seeking some things? » I finally inquired.« I have no business with an unkempt being. »« I am sorry. I am new here so I thought that I could help you in exchange for some clothes. »«When you’ll find some decent clothes then I’ll be happy to share my worries with you.»I pivoted to examine where I could find some clothes. There was a beautiful house that had a little garden in front of it. I was mesmerized by the beautiful flowers that were displayed. I walked closer and approached my nose to smell the sweet perfume, a
I searched for Adelia for a whole day, but it was in vain. I didn’t understand why she disappeared like this. It was unprecedented. I thought she never made it back from the time loop, but her scent was strong enough to prove otherwise. I thought of the idea of running away, but if I still had the memories from the time loop, then she had them too. I don’t understand why she ran away.«Alpha, we should get back, we can’t delay our return to the capital anymore. I think it would be best if we searched for her later,» bellowed Rasha.« I can’t let her roam in this forest. She is still recovering from her injury, » I replied.« She is used to moving in this forest. She can survive on her own. Your worries are built on unstable matters, » she said, moving her stick towards the route that we must take.
«I’ll paint a tomorrow different from the past, painting hope for just the two of us,»she smiled, showing her teeth, «wait for me, I’ll come to you. Wherever you are in the world, I’ll find you and always be with you. I am sorry…»I nodded once again and smiled at her. I was taken aback from her words, apology accepted. I used fire magic to create words in the air. The words were hovering right in front of me in a way to make her see what I wanted to tell her.«It’s alright. You don’t have to apologize. Just know that I’ll wait for you until you’re confident enough to face me and I am sorry too for not being able to protect you before. I indeed have only the memories from the time loop, but I realized that I wasn’t strong enough to protect you back then. »
"Now, I want you to get out of here, and I hope I would never see your faces again," Barbara pointed at the back door and urged us to go. I stopped right in front of the door after Edward left, waiting for me outside."Is it really alright to go like that? I can help. I know I can do it.""You were the only one who was called traveller, you know. You may not know who you are, neither I do. However, you must be someone who had already seen enough and chose to experience the same thing all over again. Please stay out of it. This is our battle. Zadimus must have already knocked your friend. Take him and go. We will take care of these things. Since you exist, our battle will be successful."She pushed me outside and closed the door behind us. I did not know what to do. Suddenly, an idea came to my mind. We can help them kill the demons that will emerge from the portal using Xavier and his pack. I looked at Edward briefly and ran to the hot spring. I was confident I
"We also have a legend about your deeds... more like it was about the portal. No one knew it existed beside a few nobles and the Rayginaz family," I explained."This is strange! I do not dare show off. The portal indeed exists, and I am keeping it at bay. However, it was a matter that I had to do in exchange for debt. We do not dare to blend with people, and also, we do not dare to take a human bride. It is already odd for me that you exist. From your words, that means I took a human as a friend and another human as a bride. It will shorten our lives if we do so.""In every generation of the Carmander royal family, there was a human bride. As to strengthen the bond between humans and vampires.""Then that means you are dhampirs. Vampires have a long lifespan, we like living in isolation, and we cannot stand humans. I am already doing my best to coexist with them.""As I thought. I found it already strange that the royals do not live as normal vampires," s
"I was wondering for a while, young man. Why can't I read your thoughts?"It was a question that made me panic. I did not want to say who I was exactly, and at the same time, I admired the man in front of me. He was sitting elegantly, showing signs of wisdom and a lifelong experience. I never imagined that I would be meeting the ancestor that everyone admired."He is your great-grandson or great-great-grandson, I do not know exactly," Bonine held my hand and smiled at me. Thinking it was fine to tell him."That is surprising," Zadimus laughed, and his laugh was contagious. I laughed at my turn. I did not expect him to believe us. I truly wanted the wisdom of such a great man, "from the way the young man looks at me, I guess I must be someone you really look up to. You see, young man. I am no great man. I wander these lands keeping the door in the dungeon under us in control. I do not know exactly how to seal it. How is it, the life in the future?"
After a good bath, I met Bonine sitting on a bench right outside in the street torturing the bird."I was wondering for a while but, aren't you an odd fellow? You have the intelligence of a regular person. Who is that master of yours?""He is the mighty Diego. How about you become my master's bride instead of staying with that good for nothing? My master is a good man. He will give you the life you dream of. I feel like you desire a normal rich life where you have everything you want, with many servants and girls... I mean boys, handsome ones..." I flinched. I wonder what she will answer?She grimaced. "You deserve another beating. Do you know who he is? The one you are badmouthing.""Whatever he is, my master is better. It is not like he is a king.""He is a king."The bird screamed and flew away. "Excuse me. I do not want my feathers taken away. I guess there is no future for you and my mater. Goodbye! I hope you will have all the ha
We travelled as soon as we finished Bonine's ideas. She got depressed when her castle was not complete. However, great concepts must take time to flourish. There were approximately twenty members in Xavier's pack without counting children since they stayed back in the mountain. We were going for a war. Therefore, taking weak people with us is considered a hindrance.Westineof is a little far from here. We had to walk a great distance before arriving at a weird village. It was crowded with pacifist people, and a peaceful atmosphere crowned the air wherever you went on that land. The first option we had is to relax in a hot spring that was available in the village. It was surprising that it still existed and was not infected by the disease's virus. It was a blessing for us since we did not relax for a long time. Bonine rejoiced with the idea and disappeared immediately, searching for the items that we will use.Our whole gang threw himself into the spring, splashin
"Good morning, Guardian deity Grazar; I hope that I did not disturb you," I looked around me and caught a glimpse of Edward and Davina sleeping, "I did not want to create a disturbance. However, I need your assistance.""You are a Grande, yet you need help from a guardian like me. I do not find anything to help you with."I looked at my bare hands then clenched them. There was something that had to be done. I stared at him with confidence. It was better to keep this a secret from the others. "I do not want to fake anything. I am not Adelia. I do not know what I need to do to fix all this mess, even if it was not my fault or hers to begin with. What I intend to do will be good for us as well as for you.""You got my interest. What can I do to help a worrisome soul like you? I already knew who you were. Words travel with the wind, and my friend told me about it. In fact, the future Adelia must have connected the two eras. That is why you ended up here.""Sh
I was thinking for a while now. Wouldn't it be fine if we left something for ourselves for the future? Something to prove that one day we walked by here and contributed to a great cause. If we were to fix everything, the results would be attributed to our respective roles, not our true selves. This idea kept ringing in my head for a while now. I could not accept that our success would be given to someone else.I mean, since the future we know of is a fine one. We live in a society where we do not know even about these dark times. That means we will succeed; it is just that we have to make our decisions according to our judgements following the great cause. It means that Grande was only following history since if she did not send us, the future we know of would not exist.My head started to hurt. It isn't obvious. How did she know we were in this time? Does it mean we are already sharing the same body, and I am the one dominating it? It is really confusing.
As I described my relationship with Edward, of course, I left our real identity out. There was a jolt of numbing cold in my back. I did not cry in pain, but Edward darted to my side, pulling me under a tree. As he turned his eyes searching for the culprit, a cloaked man barely visible in the light since he was hiding in the shadows, jumped forward followed by other clocked men. They had daggers, and one of them had a wand.The one with the one was pointing his hand towards me and holding the wand with the other. I understood immediately who they were, assassins. They came out when we sent our three companions. Even Alisha was not with us since she stayed behind studying the werewolf silver pack condition members.Xavier unsheathed his sword and charged towards the cloaked man with a wand. The first thing you had to do in a battle was to eliminate the healers, supporters and offensive magicians. As I slumped back against the ground, pushing Edward forward, t
"Indeed, they must have touched it in its sleep. Some creatures lived since ancient times and have established their own domain in this world."It was authentic of them to do it. If no one harmed them or trespassed their own personal space, they would show generosity and kindness. If you happen to meet them one of those days, they would only stare at you and move away. Some could be dangerous. However, they did not harm weak creatures since they consider themselves above all of them.We found a village in a normal state, there were only some nasty smells here and there, but it was normal since food could rotten. We looked around each on their own; I went to one of the houses; it was completely normal besides the unusual scene of people taking their mean; they were all stones. I pitied them; they could turn back to their usual form. However, the magic had to be dispelled. There are two options; whether to talk to the guardian deity or leave it alone, it will wear
