They were at the highest building, next to the sea. Finn had a weird fantasy to have an engagement ceremony next to it and the place had already long been buzzing with life. People came and went away, carrying stuff or anything that beautified the space.The stage was already presented, and the round tables and numerous chairs had been arranged.The engagement ceremony would start as early as eight with the sea view at the back. Much to Shadow's liking.Shadow had camouflaged their presence while watching the arrangement with interest.“Brother!”“Yes?” Three different voices answered her.She inevitably looked in the voices’ direction. Albert, Firash, and Maxim enthusiastically stared at her, asking which one.“Err… Maxim brother.” She corrected herself.“Tsk.”“Hmph.”Two of them snorted and clicked their tongues in annoyance.“Yes, sister?” And Maxim didn’t care because he was the real winner.“Have you asked Ignat's brother to plant the bombs that I created?”“Yes, I did.”She the
Finn couldn’t ignore the nagging feeling inside him. Deep down, his instinct seemed to notice the abnormality that occurred around him. It started ever since Shadow suddenly visited him. Her image from last night was too strong in his head. Her eyes were colored with redness, the color of madness. And if he didn’t know better, he would rather gloss it over as usual. However, he was talking about Shadow. Every action had its own purpose. Shadow was also a tricky bitch.“What are you trying to do?” His brain had to link everything to last night.“Crown prince?” His beautiful cousin tilted her head, her long hair waved to the side. He ignored her but focused all his senses on his surroundings. Still, he found nothing suspicious except for the missing future bride. The people were already murmuring between them, assuming all they wanted.Yet, he focused – it was an omnipresent-aware kind of type. It was hard to describe this foreboding feeling where all he could hear was his own breath
Shadow stared for far too long at him as if time had frozen.Lily could only look alternated at him and Shadow, couldn’t find the right time to interject, and didn’t dare to do so afterward.Albert pressed his lips hard against his teeth, fist clenched tighter to the point it was trembling aggressively. Fear engulfed him.“Aha!” A first laughter resonated. “Ahahahahahahahaha. Ahahahahahaha.” The uncontrolled laughter kept on coming from the small lady. She recoiled her body while pressing her hand over her stomach. “Sis… ter…” Lily extended her hand toward Shadow, weirded by the sudden burst, but Albert stopped her and shook his head. Lily had no choice but to withdraw. Something was clearly wrong but she didn’t know what it was. Her reaction was positively random, it was hard for her to read her.Albert had already overseen this reaction somehow. He was with Shadow for a few years. Naturally, a few of her responses were already in his pocket. “Don’t be stupid, brother.” Sharp!And
Sauntered down to the war zone, Shadow skillfully evaded the chaos she unapologetically inflicted. Everything was burning. The coal, sand, dust, and sweat permeated into the air. Shadow listened to the conversation between her brothers. A small giggle accompanied, passing the enemy without batting an eye. “Who are you?”“Enemy!”“Die!”A few wolf beasts dashed toward her with killing intent. She only gave them a brief glance and snapped her fingers. Her steps didn’t even falter one bit. The beasts stopped midway. Their trembling hands wrapped around their faces before they twisted it themselves.Prak!The necks were snapped as they unalive themselves. Plop!Those bodies fell on the ground with wide lifeless eyes.“La~ la~ la~” She hummed happily.BOM!The ground was breaking and violently vibrating, yet, Shadow was skipping through her destination. Her nose led the way, her legs carried her in the intended direction. She had locked one person, currently heading toward her target.
The king was stagnant in one place, his body frozen by the invisible thread that seemed to bind his body. His claws were out but his entire body felt heavy. Except for his head, everything seemed frozen.Even if he wanted to ambush this dirty kid, he couldn’t. There was invisible power that was holding him back. His best guess was receiving The Unknown’s help or else, it would be impossible.“So, where are we?” She refocused her attention back on the wolf kingAgain, his body involuntarily jolted, and his ears twitched a few more times. The red eyes akin to blood licked across his body as if she was weighing the consequences. Whatever it was, he felt like he was already trapped inside the nightmare loop.She played with the two daggers she had in hand as the king slowly was released from Shadow’s shackle.The king clenched and unclenched his fists, pondering his next action. This little girl was too little but so vicious. Not only was she hella smart, but she also received the protect
Snow blanketed the mountain of East Softier at the edge in between the wolf kingdom and the wingsman kingdom. The equator climate greatly impacted the kingdoms within it. Dragon kingdom, wolf kingdom, lion kingdom, feather kingdom, and hyena kingdom were in it.These kingdoms and a few others were hot and humid all year round.Therefore, the sudden blizzard that swept through the west coast ever since a week ago and dropped fifteen inches of powder turned once pristine cover into a sterilized trend and shook them to the core. The whiteness reflected brightly, not only from the ground but also from the snow-laden limbs of already skeletal trees and evergreens.It was contradictory to what it used to be and no one seemed to get over it easily.“Did the world climate change? Or are we in a doomsday? Our kingdom is still in the equator line, right?” The prime minister, who had a bulky body, tanned skin, brusque face, and bush of beard narrowed his head at the chancellor.The chancellor, w
(Ho ho ho.)Every ear that picked that bitter laughter perked up, fluttering their eyes in bewilderment. The voice belonged to someone who was extremely quiet and only stuck to his teammate. (Ha ha ha.)Again, the voice filled in their earpiece. No one dared to say anything, including Hisoka, Smiley, and Black. This particular individual was hard to approach and highly secretive. His cat-like face was a cherry on top because as he was famous for being similar to a cat, his behavior was similar to a cat.Some said that if they put this man and the cat next to each other, they would never see any differences. (Ha ha ha. Lock on!)Again, the voice filled in the earpiece.(Are you done, Sweetie?)Captain interjected the moment the voice spoke another aside of their never-ending laughter.(Yes, Captain. Waiting for your command.)The husky voice – contradicting his code name – shifted to serious. A small sound of scrap metal ghostly echoed in the background. Seemed like he was adjusting
“That is not – by any means – a complaint, My Holiness.” Immediately, Farizad defended himself and the two boys. (Hah! Whatever. Thanks for the hard work, though. Take a rest for a while.) Thankfully, Shadow didn’t reprimand them. (Petal and Psycho, you too. Thank you for your hard work. Without you, my plan will be in jeopardy.) But, Petal, Psycho, and Farizad knew enough. Even without them, the plan would be in motion with different execution. After all, Shadow was a genius. (What should I do without your power, Shepherd?) It was extremely sincere coming from Shadow. But, Farizad swallowed his snort and hummed. To be fair, Farizad’s power wasn’t as exceptional as Shadow made it to be. It only worked once he had direct contact with the target, unlike Shadow who could command them even from afar. Hence why he had to go down personally and cultivated the relationship between them to make it as natural as possible, unlike Shadow. She didn’t have to personally be buddy-buddy with
