(DEATH RESURGENCE) “DEATH RESURGENCE.” With Arius's words that somehow echo in the near distance, the gate opens as she steps inside and welcomes herself inside the world and book of the other shard soul. "If you want to know, you should first see this world, the dread that the other shard is holding. I’ll meet you at the other end, and all after Arius will open my very gate.” From those words that keep on ringing inside her mind and the person behind the dread and more than what she expected and knew. Daniela takes the steps into the dark path as she takes the step out and into the light where the other, she rings with the reality of the world and the book that revolves around the same blood and death. “ON the strike of the eight-scarlet festival, to the reigning of the 8th in the third age of the Scarlet Moon you will meet the person that the heavens fated for you of long ago, but fate made you forget for fifteen years.” Hit with the familiar pain
(FAMILIAR MELODY) “YOU WOULD NOT FORGET, RIGHT?” “I WILL COME BACK, FOR YOU, RYUU.” Knock by the familiar melody of those words bring to both of them. Arius smirks as it is too early for him to draw back, as he will never accept such petty feelings for it is nothing but weakness in his world. “Shall we?” Impatient, yet in reality, he just wanted to escape from the drowning scene in front of them. Daniela nods as she jumps inside the space that he marks and strips from the thin layer of time. But before the hole ever closes, she looks back as she knows the feeling, the promise, and the said memory that is being forgotten. “Promises.” She whispers all as their surroundings change and they both now stand in their still ghostly appearance at the beginning of the current book and the world they are within. As the voice and image of the other shard of him ask. “WILL you be my scarlet kingdom?” Now u
(CHOICES) “I CAN’T STOP THE TIME AS I COULD NEVER TURN BACK WHAT HAS ALREADY ENDED, BUT ONE THING I AM SURE ABOUT, IN THIS FANTASY YOU WROTE, AND EVEN IF I DON’T EXIST IN YOUR REALITY, I, RYUU WILL FOREVER PROTECT YOU NO MATTER WHAT.” Heard enough as she had already seen enough of the life and soul of the other shard of the original and just like her. Daniela could not help, but crumple her fist with the dismay and hurtful truth that no matter what world and book, the shared soul of the original all have the same fate the is being run with the Supreme and HIS enemy in the game of the grant chess. “I have seen enough.” Knew and somehow sympathizing, yet not entirely to what she is feeling after witnessing the two of the six shard souls of the original and their world, including his. Arius smirks, even though he does not want to admit it, as he is too stone-hearted to give in to such puppet play that he considers this entire game is. Yet, is n
CHAPTER CD (THE WORLD OF TIME) “ORIGINAL WORLD AND NEVER BEEN A BOOK.” Daniela whispers, talking and somehow wondering about the original where there are all taken from in a form of the original’s shard existence, except for one. Now looking ahead and taking a deep breath out, the name of the world echoes and its existence and a bit of its origin whispers. “SHINZO DIMENSION.” From the world that she just reads, the chance and time in that space and dimension open, as the pages flip the words echo. ‘To the loop of innocence, from the brim of chances and life, lie the truth, hate, love, and the seven deadly sins. To the theory that comes forth to the creation of the Universe and the Multi-verse, will once past mistake save everyone out of everything in the brim of destruction due to the love that is bound with the curse?’ It started with the sin, the first of the seven is born. With the death of the true Supreme. It marks the beginning and the first question that the fi
(IN THE DIMENSION OF TRUTH) MORE than anything and the original world that they are both is now into. Daniela found herself inside the mind, no, in the reflective glass mirror of the original ‘she’. In the void where she is nothing, but a mere fragment of ‘her’ soul. She witnesses up front and centers the dream and ability of the pure where she will never be. “If you want to know, you should first see this world, the dread that the other shard is holding. I’ll meet you at the other end, and all after Arius will open my very gate.” Taunting, yet more than that. The words that keeps on repeating inside her mind and the presence that she needed to see, to ask, but to do so, she needed to understand everything. Understand that thing that she thought that she already had. Remember every detail that will point her into that specific thing. For she needed to know the sins of the other shards, and finally be one in mind and heart to the Princess and the one that her existence should be o
(DREAMS AND SORROW) “THE pain of loosing that person you love because it is according to what fate design. Will something like comforting one can mend that pain?” The thoughts that suddenly pops inside Daniela’s mind. Knowing about the fact that no one can go against for no matter what they do, the inevitable and what HE had written from long ago will happen and will be happening, is something that they have no control about. With the promise that’s hitting the sorrow and longing that the original her is feeling and directly affecting her for being the same. Daniela stood unto her ground and eases it all. Holding up and staying brave for she needed to see everything at the very end. To understand the beginning and the exchange that put everyone to where there are right now. “WILL you resent me, if saying goodbye is the only thing behind the reason to protect you? Would you rather not have the heart that will only lead to your suffering for an eternity?” “If losing you will be th
(THE SHATTERED CONSEQUENCE) SEEING the same moment and time of the departure, ending of the loop, but the beginning of the next one. Daniela's tears fall, as she witnesses once more the pain and longing of the originals who are separated by the glass of time. Shattered by destiny as the fragment of their memories reflected unto each shard. Reaching each other, but could never be. The echoing promise ends as everything turns black and blank. Just then. “TIME Princess, wake up!” Found herself in the dreaming void where the beginning resembles hers, yet deeper than what she ever felt and encountered. She stands in the corner still in her ghostly self as she is somehow being sealed with the spell that would never allow her to interact or be made known to anyone. Then in there, the name is called, as the sleeping princess is being awakened. From the void and time of the original’s world. “Time Princess, wake up.” a soft yet commanding prevailing voice, a whis
(HER) FACE to face with the original she and within the original world where everything of the other six is stripped and reflected upon to be the very equivalent exchange of the truth. That is now being circulated with lies and deception. Daniela crumples her hands into a fist, for she is now aware and now fully understands the sin that they six holds as the shard of Princess Ai’s soul. “In this game, among the gamble and lies. I know what I needed to do.” “Game, truth and lies. Nothing is certain only the inevitable things that are plan and written by HIM.” With a smile that Princess Ai draws onto her face, she has warned her about the fact and the remaining one that she needed to be fully aware of. The question that she needed to find the answer to, and the deeper truth of the darkness and hate that her dear friend holds towards her. “You have been manipulated, the manipulation that cause you the pain and the same one that you needed to endure and especially after losing you
(BUTTERFLIES)“THE butterflies have been sent. Everyone should have received it by now, right, Chie?”HE asks in a bit of a threatening tone. Sitting perfectly to his throne and tapping the helm of his chair with his right pointer finger. With a drawn sinister smile and the Mistress of Time standing beside him, the meeting place are all set and perfectly placed with the chairs that resembles the chess board.“Just as you wish for it.”The Mistress smile that is equally threatening and hiding something that she prefers to keep like a souvenir. With the grand clock ticking and finally to its very last seconds. A bit of a change from the past are corrected. Now presenting it in the way that is better than before and too perfect to be told to be a fault.Then.“Here I thought that you wouldn’t came.”“Tsk! I’ve been thinking about it and I realize that I couldn’t miss this for the world and books.”An echoing footstep sounded. With the smile and the sinister one that they both knew and re
(BOOKS)“STOP!”The protest and utter denial of Alliah for the truth that is presented right in front of her. The words and the said facts shake her entire world and currently put her into the deepest darkest corner that she has ever been in her entire life. “No, it can’t be. I am not her. I am me. I am!”She screams in frustration, and wide eyes, and expresses the kind of fear that is a mix of horror and surprise. All for the reality and the truth that she doesn’t want to believe, she thinks that she didn’t deserve it, and all along is an utter lie. “Open your eyes and face the truth. You are not who you think you are, Alliah.”“No, no, no. It can’t be.”Tears fall inconsolably from her eyes. Her body trembles with fear, and the knocking words and reality that she couldn’t escape from somewhat pulled her deeper into that demise. She wanted to escape, she wanted to run away and think that this is all nothing, but a nightmare.“That’s right! This is all but a nightmare, everything of
(ROSES)“YOU do not need to say anything anymore Pauleen. I understand and know my sin from the past that ruined our relationship. I should have accepted the fact that he chooses you, so, for this life and this final loop. I promise to stay by your side.”“Jade!”Overwhelmed with joy and relief that Pauleen felt. She hugs her sister tight, after reminiscing and the very first loop where their relationship breaks and crumbles into ruins. Didn’t go through any bumps and cracks, nor Jade felt the excruciating pain of remembering the past loops. Christopher is true to his words when everything on the side of the sisters is done and in peace. Or is it?”“I see that you came with Gen.”“I guess, from now on things will change between us?”“A bit, for right now we are a family and to think about it, I am your aunt.”A little teasing, and giggling about the present and the future that they will be facing. A light atmosphere that Pauleen couldn’t help but be more than glad of receiving. Now th
(VIENNA BLOOD)“I have the hunch, but I didn’t expect to see you here, Honey.”“So, do I, Gen.”Their bland, but casual greeting. They’re not so usual encounters, but both know who they are in this world and what role they are playing. Honey recognizes Gen and not in the way that always starts with a fight. Gen immediately knew that it already came to Honey’s ears that her little game of guarding and spying over JK had ended. “Then I guess you being here and without any ominous aura and a façade like one, means that JK already knew about you and everything that you have done since the very beginning.”“Well, I am not his guide in the first place, nor he is one of the original holders in this book and world. I am only attracted to him because he had the essence of my birth father. Besides, it is my task to be spied and pretend that I am loyal to him with my utter disgusting desire. But right now that almost everything is set, I came here to ask for that thing, Honey.”“I see.”Couldn’
(CHALK NIGHTMARE)“DEATH, DIE, THE DEAD.”An eerie song is echoing all around the place and under the bright full moon. The melody of the song will bring chills down anyone’s spine. Making all the gentle animals around hide in fear, while the owl coos and the ravens are screaming. In that not-so-dead night, Gennivier is singing the song while marking the points and the necessary corners in the middle of the biggest pentagram and where they are about to open the gate and fulfill the end most perfectly. “Are you done, Gen?”“Please. I know that you miss me and all, but just wait for a moment for I am almost done, my dear sister, Pauleen.”She still addresses the original holder of God Aries, of this world and book in the same way as she used to do. Looking at her with those envious eyes, and an untrusting heart that she is still working on correcting. The reality will always stay the same, for even though she is one of the directions that HE is a bit proud to be HIS puppet. She still h
(A SMALL LIGHT)“TSK! Do not make me laugh, Bianca.”“Tsk!”Still he is being stubborn, protecting and not accepting anything from what he just saw even though it was the damn real thing and his inner consciousness is screaming at him to believe. Bianca couldn’t help but be in dismay. Angered and wanted to curse Aaron deeper and worse to the core. But she is still thinking of the civil way to do things. Calming her nerves and composing herself. Looks back at him and tries again for the third time.“Just what is it that you do not want to understand Aaron? You who is one of the holders that should and will always protect the Shrine Maiden shouldn’t be stubborn like this. No matter how hard you try to convince yourself because you are blinded by love. The Alliah that you know is only the half, the yang of her whole who also had its own dark past, while the yin had the biggest tragedy that was used and played by the Supreme One and becomes, Beatrice.”“Beatrice? Damn! Now it is Beatrice?
(A DUEL IN THE MIST OF INSANITY)SILENCE is eminent, that even the wind is somehow frightened in some way to blow its presence. The night is too quiet and not a single insect an be seen or to be heard. Everyone seems hiding for something, with everything is like in a mid of chaos. In that small garden in the residence of the Gomez, footsteps suddenly echo. It’s sound that is menacing and screaming a dark warning that no one even the smallest living thing will dare to see, face and make a sound in front of it.Arthur looks back, drawing a confident and a bit of a mocking smile and welcomes his guess.“So, you decided to come and face me after all, Kyle.”“And I can see that you are waiting for my arrival, Arthur.”The challenge that they both know that they wanted and at the same time not. The unnecessary but necessary thing to do, and a contradiction that they both know that is stupid, yet it is the only way to prove their strengths and wits to one another.“You do know that there is
(LABYRINTHAL CORRIDOR)“THE destruction for this loop and this sixth is about to begin.”Words that she didn’t want to hear. The fact that she needed to face and swallow up and whole for it is the reality and the written plot that was the plan all along and from the very beginning that they wouldn’t, couldn’t, and will never escape from. “Everything is settled on your parts, am I right, JK, Kyle?”“Tsk! It’s long been done.”“Everything is set on my part.”The confirmation and the exchange of assurance and confidence that JK and Kyle expresses. Amuses, no, giving the hell lot of confidence towards Him. But without knowing what had happened in between the loop of six, the secrets and the deals that took place are one hell of an exciting roller coaster ride that Kyle made and secretly had. All for his benefit and nothing more but for him. “Kyle.”“Just like what I have said, it’s long been done. I did my part perfectly according to our deal. I set everything up without any flaws and r
(THE QUEEN SHALL BE SAVED)“BE prepared, for what you are about to see will shatter you to pieces, Aaron.”Damn, that was cruel and dark. Deeper and more menacing than Aaron had experienced and had known so far. He holds his breath for a few seconds, then coughs multiple times while covering his mouth and somehow chocking about something that Bianca knew that it is all due to what he had seen so far. “Had enough? Did you understand what I am trying to say and make you, Aaron?’“Enough? Are those for real?”The in denial that is screaming inside his mind and for who he is in totality. More than being stubborn about the truth and the facts that were just presented to him, Aaron still believes that the Alliah that he met back then is not the one Bianca just showed her. “I didn’t expect that you will be this foolish because of love big brother Aaron. You above all people that I know who had the greatest sense of justice and smart enough to know what is right from wrong.”“Then, you didn
