Shadow marched toward the bed, at Sabrina’s side. The straight line on her lips quivered when she saw Sabrina twitch her closed eyelids. The straight-line soon curved upward and a small crack appeared in between those lines.
Slowly, she extended her hand and put her palm on Sabrina’s forehead, feeling the warmth of her skin.
“She has no fever and has a clear breath.” She raised her hand but then stopped a mere centimeter above.
Then, she saw Sabrina’s lips twitch too.
“Here is your drink.” Hades was already busy helping Dionysus out.
“Than- thank-” The hoarse voice tried to express his gratitude. Unluckily, his throat was too dry to even make out a decent sente
Cole and Conan knocked on the door of the chamber nervously. They had returned after completing the job that was assigned to them with flying colors. “Why are we here again?” Cole wondered why they had been in and out of the same chamber numerous times in a span of a week. “Because this room is her entire personality.” Conan tried to be playful and planted a benign smile right in front of the door outside the chamber. Tok! Tok! Tok! “Enter.” The voice answered not long after. Cautiously, they entered the chamber with wary smiles planted. Their eyes scanned the whole clean chamber that smelled like a fresh chicken chop. It’s already late evening when they met the lord and she was in the middle of eating.
“What… What is this? What is going on right now?” Ryuzaki pulled out his hair in shock. The reports came in right after he woke up from his deep sleep after being traumatized by Dionysus. And the first thing he had learned was everything that he owned was destroyed and his executives had completely disappeared under the radar. “What is this?!!!” He shouted yet again. Amino rubbed the nape of his neck in stress. Shadow had always told him that life was about choices; some that were impossible to make, whole others we lived to regret. But, we’re human after all, prone to make mistakes. Humans were faulty, were both good and bad - the perfect balance of two sides. And she surely had never forgotten to tell him that… s
Drugs, guns, whores. Amino had a hand in all of it. He was the lord of Country A and the ultimate villain that Shadow needed to get rid of. He was the vicious and ruthless man to be alive.Back on earth, if there was a dead body floating in the river, most of the time, he could be traced back to it within six degrees of separation. He used to be feared by everyone.However, he had miscalculated everything. He wasn’t the ultimate person to receive the utmost respect.It was Shadow.If anything, she was what one would call a beautiful monster.Amino has always been compared to that girl and he took it very personally. Suck to be him though, he had fallen to that lady, real hard.
Elijah stood right before the window, eyes were gazing down the third floor. She was in the middle of shopping inside the shopping mall with Edmund to protect their mental health. Due to the recent invasion, both of them couldn’t take even a single break. It has already been a week since both Amino and Ryuzaki were seen. They went under the radar and left the country unsupervised. Elijah was seen as the traitor and Edmund was regarded as a rebellious teenage boy. Not only that, the executives had long disappeared as well. Right now, the elders had to take over administering the country. And suddenly, the country faced economic difficulty. All because the suppli
Edmund rushed into the place that he knew the best that could provide everything he ever wanted.“Elijah, Elijah! Wake up.” He tried to shake her body, a futile attempt nonetheless.For the first time in his life, his inner emotion howled creepily, telling him that he was a loser for not protecting the one he should be protecting. For someone who only lived for himself, it's something he’s never felt, not even when he found that he was kidnapped by the lords that he served.Edmund considered leaving the maid to die, but the ache inside only intensified. It would be catastrophically wrong. So, Edmund gently picked the maid up bridal style, and carried her to th
Dionysus, Hades, and Persephone returned to their promised day for the very next day. After the shopping mall attack, the trio arrived after half a day of hitting the road. On the way, they asked for Amel’s help to block all the communication from entering their target destination, which was the main city of Country A. And they did. As a result, no one inside the main city knew anything regarding any news. In a way, the city was similar to the well. The citizens were like a frog living inside the well. And sometimes, ignorance is bliss. Well, the second proverb was heavy to their advantage. And now, they were discussing the final setup for the last time. They had recei
Right before Hades took charge at the center, a few workers were seen running toward the exit and the entrance in much hurry. The security became tight and the camera surveillance moved frantically to search for the intruder.Dionysus was already perched tall on top of one of the massive cameras, at the highest point, looking down at those people.The human security leaped toward them, with weapons in their hands and stopping the workers from bluntly escaping this place without any proper reason. Still, they interrogated those workers in great hostility.And Dionysus saw the bubble had landed on top of the singled-out HQ. From now on, the HQ would be cut off from the outside world. No one could enter nor escape.
“Are you sure we will be okay?” “Yes, we will be okay, lords. This is the secret underground passage that only the owner knew.” “Oh really? I will believe you if you say so.” “Please believe me. During the absence of the owner, I will be in charge of this building including the secret passage. My words are the law.” “Ho ho ho. Good, good. I love it.” “Where does the secret passage lead us to?” “It will lead us to the abandoned mine that is at the corner of the outskirts area.” “... will our clothes be dirty?” “It will?” “This is an expe
