(GLASS)
“DEATH OR REBIRTH, WHICH ONE WILL YOU CHOOSE?”
Asking the question in a dreaded tone, Alliah’s face marks with nothingness as she perfectly relays those words to the familiar presence that immediately in a spilled of a second the time stood still and marks the howling silence of death.
“Should I choose, can I choose, yet I rather have both as the God of death himself.”
Proud and full of pride, Kyle answers her question in a satirical way and more like a puzzling tone, as he sits unto his throne made with all those sinful souls which scream echoes in desperation and pain.
“You came.”

(BROKEN GLASS) “WHY?” Somewhat running into a circle where time repeated and re-written something that wasn’t been there in the first place. Kyle smiles as he admits and confesses the dread and darkness that lead him into this position. For no one knew the real him, his past, and the reason why he is contracted in the first place, as his words ring. “Well you see I never had this world, book, and loops in the first place, as my life is never as exciting and fun as it is now. I exchange everything and curse my very own identity, as that name rings, ‘Ramiel’.” Somewhat reminiscing his past where he hated and is disappointed to ever think of. He gave the liberty of the doubt to Alliah as he snaps his fingers and without warning sends her to his past, where it rings.  
(SHATTERED TRUTH) IN LIFE AND DEATH, CAN YOU STILL HOLD ON TO THE GOOD, IF EVERYTHING MEANS A HELL IN BETWEEN? WHAT WILL YOU CHOOSE, IF ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU EVER WANTED TO COME RUNNING DOWN TO THE PATH OF HELL? WILL YOU STILL GO ON OF YOUR LIFE AND LIVE? OR PERHAPS YOU WILL JUST END UP IN HELL? Either of those and the long run of this novel, can you still go on and read every chapter after this? Are you brave enough to stay on your foot and will not regret ever coming from this chapter? What if after this one, you will find yourself cursed? Will you believe?” “A death Call?” Chie asks in a hunting tone as she stares and attentively memorizes every bit of the scene that is unfolding in the current world and book they are watching from its intended mirror, reflecting the actions and choices of each charac
(BOOK OF KYLE) “NOWremember, you must be perfect as you should keep this thought and reality forever. You are a prince, a knight, and a powerful holder. Take pride as God Capricorn’s holder, as you should always be victorious, and the eternal Princess holy knight. Live by that rule, Ramiel.” The words and rules that he lives and grows up with as the only son of a powerful family. Royal blood and the only son and heir of a duke. He is the second in line to the throne if and only if, the crown prince and destined knight of the eternal princess perish. “If anything goes wrong, you will be the crown prince as you will have everything that you could ever desire.”
(DEATH WISH) “STUPID!” His father screams in anger as he is being tied into a pole and whipped harshly as a punishment for his actions and directly disobeying his fathers’ orders. Yet, he knows as he forever is aware of, his fathers supposed to be punishment is not at all what it seems. It is torture and expression of his dominance, as his pride and status are being shaken by his actions. Where all it could ever think is his standing as a monarch as he should be the head and in control, especially towards the son, his heir, and the holder of God Capricorn. “Who do you think you are? You who is my son and only a flesh and blood of mine has no right to mock me with your antics and heroism towards those slums!” He justifies in front of him, like the whips, and intended to br
(REWARD) “I’M GOING TO KILL YOU ALL.” He whispers with anger, and without conscience, snapping out from the sane stance of his reality, and where His voice echoes. “Now, do you want to play?” Snap-in that very moment as he does not care at all, he took the deal, while laughing with it, as his heart and conscience faded and only wanting a thing. “Kill them all.” Dropping the bomb as everything falls flat into silence like he is thrown and forced down and deep into the darkness where he sleeps for a moment. He opens his eyes as he found his entire ruling area in desolation. Flowing with the stream of thick and pureblood, as the houses and once prosperous town as the greed and faced of the powerful and the royal family turns into ashes. P
(REEP OF DEATH) “WHAT CAN YOU SAY?” Snapping Alliah out from the story of his life where he let her witness and much more like she’s been there and with him all along. The past that rings the darkest tone, yet the symbolism of his life right now is nothing more, but a dark play written by Him, is what Alliah is driving in the middle of sympathy, hate, and pity for him. Just then her tears fall and the words whisper. “Tragic.” Laughing out loud and to his heart very desire, upon hearing that fainting world where he could not identify as a serious tone, or worst and perhaps a teasing one and much like a joke. Alliah immediately wipes her tears away as she realizes how pathetic she is, just by witnessing a tragic tale that no one should be sympathizing from, most especially if that past is just
(HIS HEART) NOW I ASK YOU THE ONLY LEFT QUESTION WITH NO OPTION, TO BEGIN WITH, THE WORDS OF A WARNING OF, “How much are you willing to sacrifice, for the sake of your dream?” Somehow hunted with those thoughts and questions, Alliah look at herself in front of the mirror as she fixes her face and made sure that she wore a perfect smile. Knowing that she will about to take a step inside the circle that she exchanges then and now is knocking on her door, ready to welcome her inside. “Everything.” Whispering the word as she answers the lingering question unto her mind. She took the steps out as the royal servant opens the door and she is greeted by the blinding lights for a second, then finally standing in the busy crowd of royalty and the powerful. With h
CHAPTER CCIX (QUESTIONS) WITH the waltz music that’s making everyone dance gracefully and incoordination, and creating one spectacular show. The hidden melody beyond the warmth, sophistication, and perfection of the royals is hiding the tone of an eerie bell that resembles the death march, yet not of some people, nor for a prominent figure and a person, most especially not to the pure and royal blood, but for someone whose identity lies within the throne of hell. “Pain, fate and time. Three words that are repeating and circling for a while. Three words that are the core of everyone’s fate and life. With these seemingly innocent words and their simple concept, can someone say that it is alright to gain something without losing a thing in return?” The first question. The familiar scene that flashes and whispers, yet worse than it was at first, and now resembles perfectly the creature that’s sitting on that throne. She held her breath in as she tightly grabs onto her dress, with the
(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
