(WATER AND AIR) “WATER AND AIR.” The words that he whispers. Naming the last two of the only prominent elements that everyone knew that’s existing in the world that they are living with. With the minor arcana taking their spot according to the said elements. He then looks at the remaining elements with the cards in two as he lays the facts. “Cups, chalices, goblets, and vessels.” Along with the following minor arcana and the cards in the lineup and facing in front of him. He continues. “A class of Clergy, that denotes the symbolism and meaning of love and emotions.” Giggling after reading the said meaning of the cards. The perfect names are right from his mind, then the words are written right in front of him that call and describe the chess pieces. The profile, no, the character and descriptions of the prominent ones that holds the main arcs and represents by the tarot cards along with either of the blessing or the curse in their lives. “DANIELA GOMEZ.” The first name and th
(WHAT SHALL REMAIN?) “FIRE, EARTH, WATER, AND AIR.” He once more whispers, but this time it is the whole prominent elements that everyone knew, but not in deep. The elemental class that each of the group of the minor arcana of the Tarot deck belongs into. Surrounded by its class and the meaning that no one could ever deny the ominous, yet helpful warning that anyone can take to make everything fall to the way where it should be. “Elements. The four known and famous elements that is known by mortals. The four elements that makes everything round and true to this seemingly dead world where nothing else that matters, but lying.” He draws his signature cunning smile once more. Looking amusedly and exhilaratingly towards the deck in front of him. With the words and the chess pieces that he pins and draws from within the future book, they will open. He giggles, then laughs ominously, loving and all too much with this kind of thrill as he then whispers. “Well then, how about the rest?”
(HIS REVERSE IDENTITY) JUST how hard to achieve something if everything is already running into the side of darkness? Like there is nowhere else to run, but to face your biggest fear? “Thrilling.” He giggles, feeling the pure dread of everything that is spinning before his eyes. “The reverse world, the tarots, and the life that awaits us in the last loop and spin of seventh.” Repeating those facts that somewhat slowly consumed his sanity from deep within. Like he is more than just playing within the known seven sins and from deep within is blaming everything unto his weakness for finding the truth and be amused by that truth that’s making him shiver in excitement. He asks. “How about me?” More than just asking about himself, he is deliberately laying the dread that becomes the taunting facts from deep within. The pen with the spell heard his command, and it started to write the words that tell. JOHN KARLO
(CREATION OF THE SINS) “KYLE.” Damn, he wanted to drop his real name with the curses in between. But then he stops himself as he knew what’s best for the current situation that they are playing into. “You came, and what brings you here?” Somehow acting dumb, but Kyle knew otherwise. He clicks his tongue thrice as he drew a smile that he all knew about him. “One thing, just one.” He delivers, but more like threatening him in between. That playing a stupid game right now is not an option. Never been one, for every step is important and there is no such thing as making a mistake. “Do not play dumb and quit those charades that you are been doing.” He warns of him, by which he giggles in a few seconds in response. Kyle’s footsteps enter the light and slowly away from the shadows. The deal that he is having within his hands right now is the inevitable command that he couldn’t say no from. Not now and more
(BLINDED) “HOW WAS IT?” Unclear, yet it wasn’t the case. HE welcomes her back after the given limited time that HE gifted to her. With HIS cunning smile that draws all the way to HIS very core. She smiles and replies. “Should I answer that question knowing that we both know that you have the answer yourself?” Giggling in between her words as her steps echo unto the hall of HIS throne room and very own abyss. HE smirks, loving how cunning HIS chess pieces are turning out to be. “Well, you got what you ask for, as you already save the one by which is your goal. Or did you?” Throwing the question that could leave anyone asking deep and more. As doubts sink in and claim them from deep inside. She smiles for she is not like the rest. Different and unique, for a doll that turns into a human, being able to comprehend things ahead is just an easy task. “I only push him into the right place where he should have been long
(HIDE AND SEEK) “DO YOU WANT TO PLAY A GAME?” Finally starting the dread that everything spins to right now and along their entire world. The words rings, as it is the start and the same once that lay the foundation of this world and very novel’s sins and greed. “A simple game. Just a simple one, and I am sure that you will love it as much I will.” All somehow too much, as he is tempting his prey with the words and his smile that he knew that she couldn’t resist nor say no into. He snaps his finger somehow drawing a sign, a symbol a spell beyond her knowledge or she could ever detect from him. As he then added. “A game that even Cheshire Cat would love.” Dropping the characters name that mirrors the nature and somehow the life of one of them, yet he just keeping his mouth shut of who it is, or maybe it was then revealed way past the chapters that gone by. Chantal’s interest is prequel, as she curiously asks. “Cheshire Cat?” The naïve little her,
(DARK SINS) “YOU sure is happy today my lady?” Quiet stealing her attention and back towards her lady in waiting. Chantal could not help but smile all through and thought of the best day that just happened to her life. “I surely am.” Giggling, she is looking at herself in front of the mirror while her lady in waiting is fixing her hair and preparing her for bed. She couldn’t help but look forwards to the days as JK promised to visit her soon. “The young master sure is just the right person for making you smile like this, my lady.” Nodding as her response as she doesn’t want to deny anything, especially towards how she felt for him and all about JK. Her eyes are taken in sight towards the box that JK gifted unto her a while back. “You can go on ahead now, I’ll take it from here.” She commands, which is heeded and immediately by her lady in waiting and left her alone in her room. Looking at the bo
(DARK SINS II) DREAD AND DESPAIR. That is just a few of the needed ingredients to have that perfect greed to be born into this very world and book. And just how will that be? Simple, feed the vessel with the lies and let her experience such dread and despair firsthand. “Right?” Drawing a cunning smile as the three of them are watching the birth of the sin through the sacrificial lamp that is Chantal. Alliah giggles in her seat as she is amused by the plan JK pulled at hand. “Just what did I just tell you? I can do it all myself and perfectly even without your assistance, Kyle.” Somehow insulting him as he deliberately did so, while in truth that he is in rage by the things that he is making Chantal suffers. Yet, he shouldn’t give any clue as everything will be ruined once he did. And what he is doing right now is just the way it all should be. Kyle draws a sinister smile as he is not impressed in any way, and directly replies. “Well, let’s
(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
