“I think I have fallen in love with you.” Juniper confessed but Kriss stood stunned, mouth gaped with incredulity creeping on his features.

“Come again?” Kriss asked, praying he heard her wrong.

“I don’t intend to, I never wanted to but life seems so beautiful with you, Kriss. I can’t deny it anymore. I love you.” She whispered, pulling onto his shirt.

Her eyes held hopes, begging for mutual connection. She continued to stare at him, waiting for a response desperately but his silence was hurting her, breaking her hopes.

“Juniper.” Kriss chuckled nervously, holding her hands, kissing them softly, giving them a squeeze.

“You know you are very close to my heart, right?” He asked softly, not leaving her hands but his unclear response was shattering her expectations.

“I do, Kriss. And you are to me, I.. I have never felt this alive with anyone, I was never attracted to anyone, you- you hex me and I can’t stop my growing feelings for you, Kriss. You understand that, right?” She asked h

    Where two hearts were broken by a passionate moment, on the other hand Ruth went to see Zen to talk to him about his action of getting angry. He had no reason to do so but frustrated with himself, he was on the corridor, pacing around furiously, running his hand in his hair out of dismal. Ruth could feel her legs becoming weak, she had never felt this way before. Never been as trepid and sensitive as now but feelings had always been uncontrollable. Taking a deep breath, Ruth controlled her feelings and came with a frown plastered on her face. “What is your problem? She was asking me, not you.” She asked coldly, folding her arms, standing before him with his back facing her. Zen’s heart skipped a beat, his body froze, not turning back to her. He can’t look into her eyes. “I hate lies and liars.” He replied coldly, not turning back to her. “I can say whatever I want, you are no one to tell me what to do.” She said sternly, scoffing at his words but it pinched her heart to speak

    Ruth entered the room as everyone’s eyes fell upon her. She was flushed mixed with a strange lull filling her heart. She felt tranquilized after knowing Zen’s perspective.Now, at least she won’t make her assumption and will know what is truly bothering him, she doesn’t have to overthink anymore. That is why communication is the key.“You’re back already?” Zadicus asked, looking out of the window and saw Persephone in the courtyard, hugging herself.“Yeah,” She trailed off, hugging her sides, taking a seat.“Do you want to share?” Zadicus asked vaguely, turning to her to give her his full attention.“We should give each other distance and time to let things sink in.” She replied softly, curling her lips upwards in a smile. Calmness taking over her. His words still intoxicated her but they provide her a shore to relax and even if it takes a prolonged period to wait for his return, she will. At least now she knows what is hurting him.“Good decision.” Tristan exchanged a soft smile wit

    Kriss didn’t understand what he was doing here. They no longer had a reason to see each other, moreover to launch an attack on their serene place needlessly but then again, it’s Hizerl. “What are you doing here?” Kriss asked dominantly, straightening his back, glaring at Huzefa, prepared to fight him if the situation required it.“I have two reasons to stumble upon your path. One, to test your powers. Two, to make you pay.” He replied in the same dominant tone, getting down from the railing.“Pay for what?” Kriss asked, raising his brows perfectly in confusion.Huzefa smirked, moving his hand mid-air, explaining the way things work here, “You see, weak ones here take aid from strong ones in exchange for a portion of their income to survive and become strong too. Things here are entirely different from your world.”Kriss blinked when Huzefa explained, stopping in front of him with a frown plastered on his face but Kriss cannot apprehend his reasoning for fury.“And why are you telling

    Looking back up, Kriss’ smirk grew wider, “See. You better not meddle with our people.” Kriss shrugged. “Well, you are right. Let’s see what others can do.” He sighed, going to see how others were doing, but Kriss placed his palm on his heart. Closing his eyes for a mere beat, he wanted to feel what sensations he witnessed. Why was he not affected by their closeness? Why didn't it feel this painful anymore? He didn’t know yet. Sighing, he shook his head, going after Huzefa, but all on his mind was seeing Juniper. Zen noticed he was surrounded by four people, which made him sigh loudly, not because he was ambushed, but because his thoughts were interrupted. Sighing, he glanced around to contemplate the situation. His ways were blocked. He didn't have his weapon. He couldn't fight them head on. His only option was to run back to the room and get his lance or else he couldn't fight them. “Let’s get over this.” He mumbled and slammed his hand on the wall, blocking one of their way

    Tristan, who was already not in favor of Huzefa, when he saw it was him behind all this, he growled, glaring furiously at him, “What the fuck is this all about, Huzefa?!” “Amazing, you guys are far superior than I expected.” A chuckle came. Holding his waist Huzefa continued to smirk maliciously when his partner Gerald joined them too, praising them for their immense strength. But, it was not their fault, they sent their weakest people only to test their power. “What are you trying to do?” Zadicus growled, infuriated at his sudden attack. “The inn owner who we threatened is his man, he came for him.” Kriss sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose in disappointment for the mere reason he came by. “Oh, sounds wonderful from the man who killed his own comrade on our first meeting.” Tristan laughed, mocking Huzefa, who wiped his smirk. Sighing, he shook his head and offered in a charming voice, “Gentlemen and Ladies, I offer you my help, I can guide you.” “And to attain what? What d

    “What do I have left, Brother Kriss?! I have my brother only. The brother your country threw out on the basis of all of your behalf! None of your people believe in me! They let my brother rot!” Tristan yelled, bringing a dispute among themselves by his rage. Tristan kept his talks inside but when Kriss had brought this topic, Tristan took out his inner fury. “So don’t blame us for our path. You no longer hold the right to. You can forget but I can’t forget the time where I begged every higher up to save Brother but none of them helped me so don’t you fucking dare to give us the lesson of right and wrong now.” Tristan warned Kriss, pointing his finger at him in contempt. A dead silence came, they all were tensed by Tristan’s outraged thoughts, keeping this in his heart which had developed into a scar. “I agree with you, Tristan. It is a regret all of us had to carry forever. None can neglect what happened. If you choose darkness after falling from light, then we won’t blame you.”

    The next day, Zen was tracing his hand on his bandaged arm which Ruth wrapped up. They didn’t speak a word but it made his heart race. He smiled to himself and got up. All of them woke up eventually, and had breakfast while Kriss was going after Juniper. “Juniper, listen-” Kriss tried to call her desperately breathlessly, but she glared at him to stop. He was growing grievous but she no longer intended to listen to him. “Stop coming after me, Kriss. I have no intention of concerning myself with you anymore.” She growled, pushing him away which broke his heart. “Juniper, Please. Don’t leave me.” He whispered wholeheartedly, voice breaking while begging her to listen but she glared. “Why wouldn’t I? Who or what I am to you to stay, to help you?” She scoffed, voice cracking up as well, turning her head away. “Do you have any idea how badly you have hurt me, Kriss? I loved you, I dedicated my emotions to you only to know you only need me for your own self. I don’t mean anything? Do m

    Persephone and Zadicus were playing with the baby until their eyes fell upon Kriss, coming with his head hanging low, emitting immense dejection they were unable to comprehend.“Is that Kriss? What happened to him?” Persephone asked, stop playing with the baby for a second and turned to him.“Him and Juniper had a fight but they are not talking about it. That’s why I wanted to check up on Kriss last night.” Zadicus explained, looking up at Kriss who was about to walk away.“I see…” Persephone hummed, trailing off.“I should go and talk to him. You hold the baby.” He said but she stopped him.“No, Let me. He needs me this time.” Persephone said sternly, narrowing her eyes in compassion at Kriss who was desperately seeking help when Juniper was no longer here.“If you say so…” Zadicus trailed off. Persephone smiled faintly at Zadicus and walked up to Kriss who was lost in his thoughts.“Hey, Kriss. Where are you lost nowadays? There is a world outside Juniper.” She said playfully, givin

She had tears of felicity in her eyes which she wiped quickly and grinned at him, “Kriss?” Kriss returned a kind smile, taking a step towards her, standing before as his eyes contemplated her form, she looked like a princess who was about to end her fairytale. “You look angelic.” Kriss whispered sincerely, stopping at her eyes, felicitous for both Persephone and Zadicus. “Thank you.” She mumbled sheepishly, not used to fancy dresses and gowns but for her special day, she wore the most beautiful floor length lace gown, embroidered heavily. “Zadicus is dying to see you. He is so lucky to have the one he loves. No

How’s Ava doing?” Tabit asked, waving sweetly at Ava.

First Juniper and Ahlum and now him.” Vera whispered, not liking there were reducing in numbers but at least no one was dead.“I am going home.” Kriss said sadly, not wanting to talk about it anymore, ever since Juniper left, Kriss was totally depressed, he didn’t want to talk with her anymore.“I will check-” Persephone was about to speak but Zadicus stopped her.“Don’t check up on him. He needed to be alone. You guys go. I need to take Persephone somewhere too.” Zadicus said, taking Persephone’s hand.“Where?” She asked but he began to drag her away with him as quickly as he could, leaving everyone bewildered at his rush to take Persephone somewhere they didn’t know about.“Just come. We are already late.” Zadicus said, panting heavily while they were running down the forest, hands tightly locked together so no power of this world could part it. “Zadicus?” Persephone asked, worried at hi

Juniper was slightly sloppy while Kriss’ talented lips gave her a whole new sensation of euphoria. Chuckling huskily, Kriss pulled away, holding Juniper possessively, “Be mine.” He pleaded, losing his breaths, having one desire left in his heart. But it wiped her felicity, replacing it with the apprehension of what she ended up doing in spur of emotions. “I can’t.” She whispered, horrified, realizing she ended up being manipulated by feelings.“Why not? You love me, I love you, I am willing to do everything.” Kriss asked, laughing nervously to wonder

    Since Juniper was injured badly, she took a prolonged period to recover from that injury. She was sleeping peacefully until she felt long nails running down softly.Opening her eyes slowly by the foreign feeling, she saw Ahlum was no longer there with her but Delora was.She gasped instantly out of fear, unable to move while she was stroking her hairs.“How are you, Juniper?” Delora’s seductive tone came, caressing her sister slowly. “Fine.” She gulped, alarmed in her presence but her body was not ready to move and judging Ahlum’s disappearance, Delora must have taken her back to Yizar.“You guys did great. I knew he could do this. Zadicus had this potential in him.” Delora whispered sincerely, pulling her hand away, tracing her finger down to Juniper’s scar on her back, ruining her beautiful sister’s skin- according to her.“Are you here… to kill me?” Juniper asked hesitantly, swallowing hard in dread to wonder what she wanted from her.“You had enough adventure.
