“Do they now?” Daud thought.“Thank fuck our dispatch team was faster. We saved them in just a nick of time.” Crazy yet again massaged his head, growling low.“Oh really?”“Our member named Vampire had collided with them, and we had personally fought them. It was a short battle with an ironic amount of curse till we barely won the fight.” Mad didn’t want to remember the moment.Thankfully, someone from Mandrill Monkey – named Psycho or TaeTae – was smart enough to pull it off and made them the final winner.“This will be troublesome.” “Yes, it will. They have bluntly disregarded the peace code that The Unknown created.” Smart groaned.That… Daud had to agree. Even though he was once breaking the code, it was for the greater good. But, those specimens did it for the sake of their own greed. Oh Wait God Damn minute!“Don’t tell me…” Some ideas rammed inside his brain.“Yes, war. They want a war.” Shadow said nonchalantly.“Yet another war. Aren't they tired enough?” Daud scratched his
Several days later, she brisked toward the promised place, wearing her formal attire. Climbing the mountain wasn’t hard especially when you have two faithful male lions who liked to carry you around, two wolves – female and male – showed the way, one male monkey – the leader of the herd – and also two flying falcons on top of her head.Her little fury family was completed, for the very last. “Hey,” she looked next to her, where the usual King who did the honor of carrying her suddenly gave up his only joy to his partner.“Snort~” King snorted as an answer.“Where did you go and what are you investigating? Mind telling me?”Double’s ears twitched, watching the leader from his peripheral view. The monkey flinched and immediately took off from behind her.Seemed both of them didn’t want to answer her question. The two wolves acted as if they didn’t hear anything.Shadow arched his brow watching their reactions. These animals weren’t your typical animals. They were intelligent enough
“Those bastards are planning to corrupt innocent children, turn their back on their families, and bring chaos to the world,” Malikul added a few more.He stated further that T-Vir conquered The Unknown with maximum effort. Conspiring with other clans or tribes greatly benefits them. “Bull community, feather clan… I also can see a few deers in the colony.” Ya’acub mumbled.“What an unusual colony.” She mumbled under her breath. But then, Shadow’s brow arched at an impossible level, starting to feel weird. Her tongue inside the mouth moved awkwardly around, as she listened further without interfering until she was satisfied.Ya’acub brought out the captured pictures and tossed them to the table. “This is the evidence of my claim.”Shadow and Malikul craned their necks and picked them unhurriedly. Their eyes stared long enough at each other's photos.Suddenly, their minds started to think about other stuff. The advantage of working with Ya’acub was the ease of collecting a little more
Daud's contour became rigid as he stood in the same place as yesterday. It was late evening and he wasn’t alone.Due to special passes, the royal families gathered at the specific spot with wary eyes fixated on the Hyena brothers.“Damn you.” Daud rubbed his tired eyes. They were here not only because he was her brother, but also as the portal creator. The unplanned gathering with the royal family late in the evening put his mood off. He was already knee-deep in his work, and his sister threw him into a new responsibility yet again.“Why are you guys here?” He scratched his itchy head and failed to compute their sudden interest.“We want to meet her family members. Her siblings deserve our sincere welcome.” Shadow narrowed her eyes at Ibrahim.“It’s the truth!” Ibrahim said more harshly, trying to pin some unknown point.Both Daud and Shadow rolled their eyes.“They are here not for fun, daddy. It’s for their new mission.”That explained all the Hidden members who were standing arou
“That’s right. That’s who I am. Here are you faring under the new rule of the wise emperor?”The sudden interrogation met with only a wind sound. No one answered her playful question and plastered their gazes on the ground.“Hah!” Shadow scoffed in excitement. Her expression was so clear as she opened her arms. “You did it, brother!” She jumped into his arms.The ultimate submission. The 'never answering the rhetorical question.'“Yeah, I did,” Hisoka said gleefully.Later, Shadow stood right in front of them, delving his hands inside her pockets with Hisoka beside her, also pointedly ignoring the royal family.“Listen up. As you know, your arrival into this new territory is not for fun. Your existence is to fulfill my wish, and quench my thirst, and mine alone.”She stopped momentarily and stared at each one of them. Hyena was also already in the group, kneeling amongst them with their heads bent down.“Before that… sister.” Hisoka dropped the formality and said in a whisper-like voi
The dragon kingdom was based on the edge of the Philippine island – deep in an untouchable forest that was off-chart. The island was covered with nothing boulders all around – for some reason – the flames engulfed on top of the boulders systematically, licking a few lines of stones around as smock thick enough to choke on filled the air.The moment she touched down the area, the alarm was constantly beeping out loud and a few sounds of the dragon roar warned her to forward.Ignoring the apparent warning, Shadow kicked the ground and traipsed at the entrance with two lions and two wolves behind her. The monkey and the falcons were long gone – following Mandrill Monkey as what she wanted.In front of her, the massive gates – 10 meters big – were tightly closed. She looked up and estimated her strength before a few small dragons poured out from the sky and aimed their arrows at Shadow. Their actions didn’t go unnoticed or even brought pleasure to Shadow.Under the mask, Shadow clenched
The news of her appearance spread far deep into the kingdom. Royal knights created a single path as the citizens lingered along the passage with hearty eyes. Wearing a mask, and covering up with work attire, only her yellow eyes were visible for them to see. “Huwwwaaaa~” A loud exclamation vibrated in the air.Shadow was mounting King, Double was striding side by side with King and the two wolves guarded her back. Their eyes ran from Shadow to her animals. Apart from Shadow, her closest animals were also a hot topic in The Unknown. The lions symbolized their relation with the lion tribe and the wolves symbolized her relation with the wolf tribe. She felt and heard the cheer along the passage with her head hanging higher. Angelo walked beside her, introducing the place to her ear, pointing his finger at everything around them. The passage ended right in front of the palace’s gate. The cheers were still vibrating the air and the hail song was still echoed through the wind. Shadow
Once she entered the room yet again – which was 15 minutes later – the room had been tidied up and the broken things had been magically fixed. Angelo showed her to the center of the room where the set of couches rounded the coffee table with Nathan handsomely sitting on a two-seat couch.“Please find your seat.” Nathan smiled at her and subtly gestured his eyes at the empty one-seat couch next to him.“Huh~” Shadow felt a sudden headache. “Is it okay for me to abuse my power? You’re the ruler of this kingdom. I’m merely an uninvited guest. So why the fuck do I need to sit on that uncomfortable seat?” Shadow pointed out the bizarre situation she was in.A smile on his face wiped out as soon as she humbled herself in front of him and his subjects. “Before you are my guest, My Lord, you’re the mediator recognized by The Unknown. Second of all, you are my master and I’m your servant.”The last word made the workers and Angelo snap their heads at both of them. It was basically a confirmati
