An audible gasped escaped from Mayari's lips as she stared with wide eyes towards the familiar man standing between Lucas and the enchantress, along with several black-suited men standing from behind.Evan took glimpse at Mayari, seeing her clench her teeth before he followed her gaze towards the said man.He too wore a black suit with gold chains dangling in his neck and a golden watch strapped in his wrist accompanied by several rings adorning his fingers. His hair and beard were a mixture of black and grey while wrinkles and signs of aging were visible in his olive skin, yet his physiques was mascular and well-built.He took a dragged of his cigarette before blowing a puff of smoke in mid air and pinning his gaze towards a certain kin who's eyes undeniably mirror his... Then he spoke with a stern cold voice that sent shivers down her daughter's spine."I'm not surprised." He looked straight at her. "You're alive but I bet you would like it better that your dead, Mayari."Mayari's v
A cold soft feeling embraced Mayari's body as she felt submerged in cool water. She regained her consciousness but she could only see darkness, and felt a bandage was firmly wrapped around her eyes, indicating that she haven't fully healed from her injury.Will she be able to see again?She felt a hand suddenly touch the bare skin of her shoulder. Alarmed, Mayari immediately grabbed the person's wrist in a tight hold. The owner of the hand yelp in surprise, then she suddenly called out her name."Miss Mayari!" A familiar voice spoke coming from the unknown person she have grabbed.She then heard several footsteps against the tiled floor, coming closer from different directions. Followed by the hushing sounds of different female voices whispering to one another."Miss Mayari, you are awake!" The said person exclaimed beside her. "It's me, Lissy.""I know." Mayari nodded in acknowledgement, whilst Lissy smiled."Wait here, Miss Mayari, I will go immediately tell the mistress that you ar

"Welcome back." A voice, devoid of emotion greeted Mayari upon her wake.As always, the sky in her mind was a tapestry of swirling gray and blacks of cloud casting a somber mood over the dried grassy land.Laying under the tree, the air feels thick and heavy, as if nature itself holds it breath. The lifeless branches above form a canopy, their silhouettes stark against the murky sky.Mayari's dark bay eyes traveled from branch to branch, searching nothing in particular. Each gnarled limb, stripped of its leaves, seemed to tell a story of decay and resilience. The bark, cracked and weathered, bore the marks of countless seasons endured.She felt a strange connection to the tree's silent testament of survival, as if in its barren form, mirrored some unspoken part of herself. The air around her was still, amplifying the quiet reverence of the moment as she continued to study every inch of the lifeless monument.As she traced the skeletal remains of what once was a vibrant tree, something
"Have Ms. Helen visited you already?" It was an obvious question but Dr. Ashley still asked anyway."She visited yesterday." Mayari flatly replied from her chair."Good." Ashley smiled. "She have been really busy lately, it is good to know that she made time to visit.""What's the situation?" Mayari inquired.Dr. Ashley paused to arrange her herbs and ointments on the table before replying hesitantly."Umm... It has been quite... hectic." She heaved a heavy sigh and turned towards her patient. "The citizens from different kingdoms are becoming anxious, soldiers are passively bullying different races, and the enemy's army are drastically growing as the days go on.""Pardon me, Dr. Ashley." Lissy spoke up from beside her mistress. "May I asked something?""Yes, go on, Lissy." Ashley nodded. "You do not need to be too formal with me, I am just a mere local doctor.""Thank you, Dr. Ashley." The maid bowed in gratitude. "Why haven't the Royals attack yet? they have been planning for quite
The abyssal darkness stretch to the horizon in the not so dark night, overheading the busy street of the city. The shadows ate up all the stars that suppose to twinkle above and left a neverending loop of darkness in the position that they once have shined.But their is one brightness that they couldn't swallow, a silver orb of beauty and mystery that lingered throughout the darkness with it's fullest light. We called her the moon and she shined brighter than a thousand stars.Then below the night city sky, is a crowded bar of flickering rainbows and discos. There came out a wealthy man with a beautiful lady in spotlight. The man have two buff bodyguards by his side and is approaching his white shiny limousine of luxury.The man smiled and laughed along with the enchantress lady dangling by his shoulder like a precious accessory. Unfortunately, Neither of them knows that this is their last glee and the rest will be fear.Just not far away, a high building
Mayari woke up as the sun's ray pass through her window in complete blinding brightness shouting to her to get up.Hearing the clock tick she couldn't afford to miss her flight. She then went out of bed and went to the bathroom to do her morning routine.After breakfast, she then took all of her luggage and head to the parking lot to find her car.As she walk, she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket, she push her hand deep to the opening and grab it.But a woman, in a hurry, accidentally bump Mayari, causing her to accidentally let go of her phone. The phone then instantly got pulled by the gravity and smash to the floor."Oh my, I'm sorry dear." The woman then grabbed her phone and dusted it by her hand.The woman is in her 30's and holds an elegant mother-like beauty. She have dark chestnut hair cascading down her shoulders in big curls, and fair peachy skin with blue bright eyes that display her positive personality.She gave the
Mayari took a breath before she twitch the knob and open the door. She finally entered Adolf's office and close the door behind."What do you want, Mayari?" Adolf asked while looking at his big glass window as he holds a glass of wine and suck a cigarette.Mayari took a step closer."I want to quit the organization" Mayari goes straight to the point.Then in anger her father immediately face her and throw the glass of wine towards her. Mayari can easily dodge it, but she didn't instead she received it, she knows it will only make her father more angrier if she dodge.The glass shattered in Mayari's head, scarlet blood then drip after but she didn't mind it, like nothing happened."Remember this Mayari, you can only leave the organization if you have left this world! Therefore, you can never leave unless you die!" Adolf loudly said enrage, "Understood!?""Yes, Father..." she replied.She then turned with her heels and walk to the door."Don't even think about running away, you know how

An audible gasped escaped from Mayari's lips as she stared with wide eyes towards the familiar man standing between Lucas and the enchantress, along with several black-suited men standing from behind.Evan took glimpse at Mayari, seeing her clench her teeth before he followed her gaze towards the said man.He too wore a black suit with gold chains dangling in his neck and a golden watch strapped in his wrist accompanied by several rings adorning his fingers.

"LET GO OF ME, MAYARI!!! NOW!!!" Evan shouted at the top of his lungs. Eyes filled with rage as it stared at Mayari's dark brown irises.When he finally shouted her name in anger, she suddenly felt her body flinched underneath him, her eyes held something he didn't expect to see from her— the slight flicker of fear. It was gone for a millisecond but he couldn't be mistaken. Her eyes held fear for a moment as he saw his angered expression reflecting from her wide eyes.Evan immediately realized what he have done, his anger slowly sunk as guilt started to pull his heartstrings painfully. He opened his mouth to apologize but no words escaped his lips when the droplets of tears that is threatening to fell from his ocean eyes came crashing down at Mayari's cheeks, and it cascaded down her face like several drops of warm rain.Mayari then slowly removed her hand from his collar and reached his face. With a single stroke, she wiped his tears away as she spoke."Clear your head." Her voice is
"Boys!" Helen called out to Evan and Jim. "I will clear a path, go to Mayari and whatever happens, don't let anyone disturb her spell."Both men nodded and quickly went upstairs while Helen fend off the arrows shot towards the two men. When they reached her, they immediately guarded her surroundings and block off every attack from swords to arrows."We'll take it from here, Mayari." Evan spoke."Just do your thing, May, we'll handle the rest." Jim said with a grin."I am ready when you are, dear!" Helen shouted with a smile.Mayari silently nodded, then she closed her eyes and concentrate her mana to her surroundings as her whole body started to emit a deep bright blue glow.Electric current then travelled in her arm as she held her hands in abdomen level. Then sparked a single ball of blue magic filled with lightning. Thunder begun to cackle with intensity as the ball of lightning grew between her lifted and lowered palm.Mayari's eyes then snapped open, her now glowing blue eyes tra
Bright light illuminating from the familiar manor greeted Mayari and Helen's eyes as they entered the large steel gate of the estate.Upon their arrival a servant immediately led Mayari to a different direction causing her to be separated from Helen.According to the maid, the guests have already arrived, residing in the main hall and since the bride and groom must be seen together in the party, they must use another entrance to avoid the prying eyes.After navigating thru the paths with twist and turns, they have finally entered the mansion. Mayari could hear the distant playing of music and the fancy chatter of nobles.After climbing a set of stairs and a short walk, Mayari was directed to enter a room."Lord Lucas wishes to see you. He is currently in the room with his servant." The maid informed. "He awaits your arrival, my lady."Mayari's sharp eyes lingered for a moment to the maid before moving to the double door decorated in gold. She held the handle and was about to do what s
Bundled in her beautiful glimmering red dress, Mayari watched in distaste as she tried to move but struggled because of the many layers of fabrics rendering her movements.Her crimson red ball gown flared as her very puffed skirt spread to the exterior of her dress. Her off shoulder sleeve were decorated with shiny rubies with rose patterns stretching down her waist. The sheer fabric used in her gown gave her a misty red look matched with her red glassy sandal.Her black hair was tied in an updo, ornamented with fresh red roses. Around her neck rest a golden necklace with red diamonds paired with other accessories that have similar design. Nails were also painted red along with the color scheme of her light makeup."Don't forget to wear your gloves." Helen chimed as she walk inside the room.A maid then handed Mayari a pair of white gloves, embroidered with patterns of silky white roses."This gown is too excessive." Mayari commented as she wore the gloves."It's your engagement ball,
