(THE DAMN DAME) THE atmosphere turns dark, as the air smells like a thousand rotten corpses are disposed of and left unattended on each corner, and the red bell of death is currently hunting. “No one messes with me.” Pauleen’s words echo in that quiet and doom place where she only knows and honestly created with her gate and pentagram. “You shouldn’t have compared me to her.” Her insanity and sins that made her very core of the pure darkness of the twin’s shard’s soul is screaming and growing. “She may be the most important person in this world. But I am the only one that you should be worshipping.” The plea, no, her desire and principle drag her even deeper into the darkness of the sins that she is made out of. Making her the perfect spice that HE wanted her to be. All for the upcoming death and seer blood of the death festival. “You damn bitches!” She screams watching her two-prey shivering in fear with their hands and feet tied, alo
(THE NATURE OF EVIL) “YOU came, you are finally here. Is it time already? Haruna, or should I address you as Farah?” Pauleen addresses her companion, her enemy, both and not. For she is neither in one side, but a piece that is created and only existing because she is needed to be one of the trump cards. “You damn dame.” Farah replies, calling her by her known nickname which is a dark one. The title that only the four of them knew, and by which Pauleen is all hype and embracing it to her identity and only hers alone. “It’s nice to see you again Farah.” She giggles, which Farah on the other hand is not even amuse by her for even a little. Especially with her sins and love for blood that Farah could not even blame her. “Not the same in my stance.” Farah bluntly said. Looking at the two mortals that Pauleen is about to kill out of her thirst and amusement for blood, with the revenge that she n
(RAVEN WINGS) “I miss this place.” Pauleen giggles, then smiles in an uncanny way as she looks at the tower ands said. “Such a lovely prison for the Raven Princess.” A cold wind suddenly blew. That somehow screaming an eerie threat that death and curses are about to come their way for Pauleen just said the forbidden word and title that only brings chaos and darkness just what the name suggested. “The wind, and even the crows agree with me. She giggles, having the time of her life while the crows that wasn’t there a while ago is now flying above them and screaming with the voice that somewhat creating the tone for the devil’s welcome. “Enough with your stupid games Pauleen.” Farah scolded her which cuts her little fun and ends up smirking in dismay, yet still follows Farah’s command. “Such a kill joy.” She whispers, which make Farah irritated, yet compose herself an
(THE CHOSEN PIECE) “I need a spice.” They four heard their Master and Supreme one loud and clear. While they are still on their knees bowing in respect towards their Master that is thinking about the experiment that is both good and bad. “Just like what I expect.” HE giggles, amuse with the four of them for having the deep knowledge about the nature f balance for the things. Especially when it comes to their Yin and Yang. “Not one of you.” Holding their firm stand not to protest, nor to dismay and most especially not to turn down the command of their Supreme one. But they are just being careful, utterly protecting themselves. For what HE wants is something that is simple to make, yet holds the biggest consequence when everything will fall into haywire.

(HIS PLAY) “I am bored.” HE bluntly said. Yawning and rolling HIS eyes while looking at the mirror where every pieces of the chess are currently fulfilling their roles according to what HE wrote and desire. “That the first.” The Mistress of Time replies, with her a bit of a disbelief tone. Knowing that HE just wanted to play with someone and something right now. “It’s true, I am bored and I feels like I am about to fell asleep right here, right now.” HE insists, but more likely protested of like a child. The first that HE did so, yet the Mistress of Time knew him that long and enough to know what HE truly wants. “He stops playing with you for a while now, right?” HE smirks, expecting those words from the Mistress who Knew him enough by now. “You guess it.” HE then giggles, pretending to be amuse, yet the Mistress knew that it is just HIS façade and HIS smiles are n
(THAT LITTLE PRICE) THE atmosphere is heavy. Cold, and smells like trouble, but in a good way. Yet, no one of them wanted to feel at ease, especially since the current time and situation that they four are in is a matter of life and the trouble to fulfill their wants and have their desires. “Winona.” Fear suddenly creeps down her spine. Fear that Winona shouldn’t be having especially that she is one of the directions, loyal and true to their master and God.

Something that she couldn’t just shove away or think of it as a passing challenge that is easy to have and to win. “You do four know what is the consequence of this role that one of you will be taking, right?” HIS words and teasing questions that the four immediately look up and reply to. “Yes, Master.” Their utmost respect. Their stance as the knight and the pieces of HIS chest that run into the id

The day and the moment that the Supreme One gifted her to the time witch to be the witch’s little doll, her puppet, and that one soul that she can freely use to do everything that she pleases. “Such a beautiful little girl.” The witch compliments her, yet rather disses her in a way that is flattering from the outside, but taunting her from the inside. “I’m giving her to you. Take good care of her, for she is your doll where you can do anything that you ever please.” HE gladly said, like giving a simple toy that the new owner can manipulate whatever they could desire from it. But thinking logically and deeply about it, she is truly a thing, a toy and a doll in the first place. For in this book and world that they are living and running in the circle into. They are just a bunch of chess pieces, where their entire life and world are nothin
(THAT LITTLE THRILL) “NOW, are you suited to be the spice?” With the question that is being ask right now. Emie held her breath and calms herself. Didn’t dare to even move an inch for if she does, she will be the losing card in this little mini game that they are all playing right now. And so, what they four are thinking. “This is amusing.” HE giggles, having fun of the current game that he is playing. Toying HIS direction for a little bit, while all along is reading their minds with the same thought that this is a game that they must win. “Well, well, well.” HE whispers, then giggles. “Not that far away from the truth, but then continue it up for I am having the best out of this.” HE laughs, but for a while. Laughing at how closely they four defending themselves against the game that HE didn’t intend for them directly. But for HIM to build the character of the particular direction that is all along is already written and chosen by him to be the spice. “Christ
(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.

(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’

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.

(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
