"Dark the truth shall be; Follow your HEART and kneel before me. Escort your MIND out of the Hoovering clouds of Gloom— Let There Be LIGHT!" •••It was creepy there. The metal fence six minutes away from her feet had long been corroded. A shuddering figure of Amethyst promptly hid behind the two, huge dumpsters, placed deep in the lane. Everywhere around her was bleak— an angry family of clouds seemed to want to have a rendezvous high in the gleaming sky. Stars winked at her from the darkened abyss of the heavens. They were so luminous that it made her avert her glances away from them. Something did not seem to be alright at that point in time. Above it all, the pentagrams looked like scattered moondust in the night sky. They were blazing in silence upon the busy village of Droitwich. The occasional screams and the prolonged howls in either lamentation or cheerfulness faraway broke the silence in Amethyst's heart. To her, it was so sudden that the tranquillity was no longer envelo
["Different shall the truth come to you; A reminder that the Road is black, feel free to gallop away from me. Revenge I am. The born day of a Fey is yet to COME: I AM your darkest desire— the death of your soul! I AM Malbonte's Daughter!" •••"How should I entertain you?" Amethyst questioned in an outlaugh at the stranger in darkness. Without waiting for a reply, she shuffled forward to have a closer look at the creature that was feeding itself into the darkness. "This is no place for tales!" Words shot themselves out of the stranger's lips, accompanied by a harsh tone in his voice. Amethyst only smirked with her mind progressively digging itself inside a thought of unmasking the one behind the shadows. She knew who it was— she could not help but grin like a Cheshire cat the longer her eyes stared piercingly at the one in front of her. "Anything you want me to do master?" The red-haired woman who was behind Amethyst questioned, her hand placed tightly on her chest as she bend her
One extraordinary day in the Norse kingdom was an agitated Liam in the chambers located in the depths of the palace. As soon as his ears picked up the sound of birds singing outside his door, Liam opened the window to witness the sun pour through the naked window. It was the second day of misery for Liam. Melpomene was nowhere to be found— rage was overtaking his system, encouraging the growth of censure upon him. Liam stood next to the window as he watched the golden fingers of sunlight lit up the Norse kingdom. The world seemed to be infused to shine and work and this endangered Liam's feelings for he did not know where to search for 'his dear sister'. Although his mind kept himself busy with the thoughts of Melpomene's whereabouts, his heart succeeded in portraying the 'last' memories he had with Amethyst. "She will come back!" Liam said with confidence whilst he shuffled from the window, with his upper body naked— glowing pale from the light yielded by the sun's rays. He clos
[YOU MIGHT NOT WANT TO LOSE YOUR POWER; WE'RE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE JOURNEY MY LOVE— COVER YOURSELF IN DARKNESS, AND I SHALL FIND YOU. ACCOMPANY ME IN THIS RUN FOR I SHALL SWIM THE HYMN OF THE SEAS FOR YOU!" •••Up ahead, in the sky, tar-coloured clouds quickly manoeuvred to gather a meeting upon the kingdom of Ephraim. The applause that came from the thunder rumbled across the earth, notifying creatures to imprison themselves indoors. For all creatures with wings, be it birds or any kingdom of winged beings, it was a must for them to fly away for nature was promising danger that could pull their wings away. Lightning did not take long to pierce through the ugly clouds. Gino's eyes painted themselves in the sky and silently watched nature ready itself for a premonition phenomenon to occur. Lightheart was mumbling words under her shaking breath. "HE'S COMING OUT! PUT….PUT HIM BACK! HE CAN'T COME OUT!" Lightheart screamed as she sprinted inside her cottage to find Liam's body cov
A pair of grey eyes instantly opened as soon as the owner's ears captured the audible birdsong outside his window. Birds of different kinds sang their songs, not realising that they disturbed the tranquil Liam had lusted to have after a restless night. Visions of Malbonte cautiously, and victoriously haunted him throughout the breezing, long night. A hiss escaped from his cracked lips as he dashed towards the big, golden-framed windows to chase away the birds that were holding an event on 'his' windows. As soon as his mission was accomplished, he went back to his bed and sat down on it, hustled by a poisonous thought. "Melpomene knew of Amethyst's presence. Unlike me, she can sense those, who the journey needs— but…LORNA!" Liam calculated silently while his big, right hand ran over his head. An intense feeling of melancholy wrapped itself around his system after his head had put forward Amethyst's green eyes— those she had before coming to transform into her real self. "So twinkli
I SHALL FIND THE ONE; THE MIGHTY ONE TO HAUNT. LOVE ME FOREVER; KILL ME IF YOU MUST! I HAVE SUMMONED YOU, YOUR BLOOD FILLS THE CUP OF MY HEART JUST TO POISON MY MOON. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, I SHALL SEE IT ALL! •••{I CRAVE YOUR TASTE!}A tall, mysterious shadow stalked quietly behind Amethyst's agitated figure. Her eyes were coldly bloodshot— a moon had passed and yet she could not plot her next move on Wendell. Her heart was shuddering and shrinking with indignation that made her mute to another kind of emotion. A black hoodie stayed on her head because everywhere she went, her purple eyes met with posters containing her portrait and big, bold letters written on top; "WANTED". They were posted only in the parts of the village, where a tiny number of humans allowed other-worldly creatures to dwell in their territory— as long as they were in return, lured into a nest of delicate fantasies they yearned to swim in. It became clear to Amethyst that Wendell's force was becoming str
[THE EARTH SHALL COME BETWEEN THE SUN AND THE MOON, BLOCKING THE SUNLIGHT FALLING ON THE MOON! WAY SHALL BE LOST; EMBRACE YOURSELVES— FOR I AM YOUR SHADOW OF DEATH!] •••The wind was rushing across the thick, squat trees that cracked every time Amethyst's feet took a step. In the meantime, the bright flashing lightning was lightening up the sky like fire sent by Gods—as if warning her from taking another step close to the house. Her gazes were fixated on the tiny house that had blinking lights publishing it as hunted. The last time she walked in, Wendell took some valuable items away from her. She saw visions of her mother— explicit visions. She waited without moving an inch of her body and studied the house. "I'm sure that Wendell would have killed me the minute his eyes laid on me. Where did the girl disappear to?" Amethyst silently growled in confusion. Blue funks instantly engulfed her figure, which was lamely contracting under the mysteries of darkness. She could feel eyes,
"I WILL NOT FORGIVE YOU, MAMA!" •••The water was gurgling and hissing all the mysteries of the Oceans, two seconds away from her feet. Waves lifted themselves, swimming back and forth on the black surface and dancing to the rhythms of the hushed mutterings in the room. A pattern of tiny rainbows stuck themselves on the ceiling, limping as the waves danced. Amethyst quietly knelt next to the pool and patiently squeezed her eyes out to search for something in the water— something that was glowing blue from the depths of the pool. Amethyst sat down with eyes that were glinting with curiosity. The water now bubbled, as if paving way for something that was lying inside. A minute later, a head of a creature, that was covered in glowing white hair, began peering through the surface. As if under a spell, Amethyst did not budge until the figure of the creature swam out. Its eyes were brown–green and violently gleaming as they gazed at Amethyst. Its demon–hylian ears slightly flapped jub
[The Song Of Death!] ——There, there…The world quickly came to a heartbreaking and dissatisfying halt. Nothing — absolutely nothing, only Amethyst's eyes that lazily shut themselves off. There wasn't a readable emotion on her gaze, eyes and features as they instantly became pale. Right at that moment, Amethyst's body began to shudder as coldness slowly covered every inch of it. Its movements were suddenly uncoordinated — nothing that she could do as all the engines in her system were shutting down. Five strong figures firmly held her back as she lay on his lap, supporting her so she did not fall. "Hush, my dear, it is all over now, I promise! Let it all out, if you must…!" A breaking voice of Liam assured. Instead of Amethyst, the man was crying, the wobbly waves of his voice fluttering straight into Amethyst's ears chambers. Ear chambers? They were slowly being overwhelmed by darkness that cracked as it touched every tip of the ear chambers and soon, Liam's voice disappeared befo
A familiar voice punctured into Amethyst's ears. It was Amethyst who had fallen into the small lake, her face buried in the water. Biting pain was waving all over her skin and bones and it did feel like some of them were broken. Her body was lying in the water, motionless as the leaves of the huge Tree of Life, next to her trembled in the air as it ominously blew and sang an unknown song. "Is this your simple way out, Althea?" There, a few feet away from Amethyst, Mauve, the witch, growled a query as her lips delicately curled into a disgusting, confident grin. Her half-naked figure was magnificently posing as she spat every word. She was definitely in no rush to do or say whatever she wished — only did she carefully watch as Amethyst fought to get up. Fortunately, Amethyst only managed to get her face from the water and now she could breathe, finally. There, the Dark Fey was breathing heavily as transporting air into her lungs was suddenly hard. Her nose was cluttered by crimson b
[THE DEMON KING IS ABOUT TO WAKE UP. QUICKLY, STOP SHREDDING TEARS!] …"Everyone is defending the coast and the front!" A royal guard whose quivering hands were covered in blood that did not belong to her growled and reported to Artemis quickly after she had thrown herself in the compartment. "That is what we were fearing the most!" Artemis whose forehead was decorated by an ugly frown, hissed through her clenched teeth soon when she received the royal guard's words. "And what about the West and the Back? Anyone still available?" Artemis, whose eyes were filled with rage that was trying to overshadow fear, blurted a question as her eyes were stealthily looking at the White Snake. The White Snake said nothing, her eyes were carefully glued on the naked window that published as the Dynato Asími Fountain was being destroyed by guns and arrows of death. "I am afraid there is nothing to report about the West and the Back. No life is left…!" The royal guard replied to Artemis's question.
[THE SUN HAS COME UP WITH ITS CLAWS SPREADING BLOOD AND HATE THROUGHOUT THE DRY LANDS!] …Loudly, a bang thunderously opened and vehemently vibrated in the atmosphere, engulfing the air with its powerful flames of misery. Everyone, including Amethyst, was overwhelmed by a feeling of uncertainty — nothing was making sense. There, the Dark Fey whose eyes were nervously shut, breathed heavily as the air was meekly refusing to enter the cages of her lungs. Her chest heaved, with a mission to drive away fright from her skin but that was not working. The only two things that her ears captured were her thunderous heart and a loud, steely sound that openly made everything seem like it was in slow motion — like the world had stopped moving. Her quivering lips felt heavy — she was not able to scream even when that was her biggest wish at the moment. That, however, was not the only thing she wanted to do — she could feel strong hands wrapped around her figure and with curiosity striking every
[THE FIRST RAY OF THE SUN SWIFLTY SHOWED UP AND THREW ITS LIGHT, CLOSE TO THE HEART OF THOSE, WHOSE SOULS WERE BEING CRUSHED!]"Sorry, Amethyst, in case you thought that I would let you live and do the unthinkable, watch me as I ruin your imperfect happiness!" Adelaide whose heart was vigorously hammering itself against her chest, roared through her clenched teeth as she marched in a location only known to her. There, she evilly wore a smirk that disclosed her shining fangs. Her lifeless eyes were glowing brightly with no sense of emotions — her pale face was twisted with disgust as she delicately curled her fingers inward, forming fists. Even though she was trying to pose a different posture than fright, she knew very well that her soul was overwhelmed by a vibration of emotions that she did not know how to express — fright was amongst them. Although she was continuously telling her heart to calm down, never did it bother to obey any of her words. "You will learn your lesson today,
Eyelids nervously trembled as tears began to create a shuddering stream down the cheeks that were blooming with hidden agitation. Lips quivered as words evilly hid underneath a heavy, numb tongue. A skin filled with beads of sweat was slowly dying — There on the bed, Amethyst was quaking whilst whispering muffled screams, her fingers clutching the woolly blankets. Her hair was wet with sweat that shamelessly pasted itself everywhere on her shivering body. Of course, she was shivering like a signal flame held high in the air. Was it a dream that she was having? Truly, it was a very bad one. Right there, Amethyst sharply opened her bloodshot eyes which were filled with glistening tears. The Dark Fey had gotten up whilst gasping and gulping for air. She felt like it had been a very long while since she had last exported air into the chambers of her lungs. She was openly terrified — everything that belonged to her was deadly shaking. "Where…where am I?" An agitated Amethyst uttered in
[ THE NIGHT WAS LONG AND COLD, AND YET, SECRECY WAS HIGHLY IMPORTANT TO THEM. ] AMETHYST CORVUS: "This is how it was all written down! This is fate, Althea!" Wearing a disgusting smirk that brightly disclosed dangerous excitement, Prince Dwight growled, his voice rumbling directly into Amethyst's ears. It was Amethyst whose body was frozen on the spot, confusion slowly brushing its dirt all over her features — on every corner. Her suddenly shaking hands had formed weak, trembling fists that barely held on. There, her face was falling with disappointment as it was victoriously mated with wobbly indignation. "SO BE IT!" The Dark Fey whispered under her cold, quivering breath. Closing her eyes, Amethyst turned around and began shuffling away from a grinning Prince Dwight. He understood it well; she understood why he was grinning — all of a sudden, she was very weak and there was no way she could hide this. She felt every claw of weakness breaking into her system, her soul, trying to
There in the throne room, two large doors sharply opened with a loud clang, disclosing an angry Amethyst whose face twisted with disgust. "You just couldn't wait to drag me down into the mud, did you, Adelaide!?" The Dark Fey hissed and growled soon when she stormed inside the spacious room, intruding Adelaide as she was humming a song that had momentarily calmed her down. There, Amethyst marched towards the White Snake, her nostrils flaring as veins bulged out of her head and neck. Her chest was heaving while expecting an answer from Adelaide, who at this point was frowning with confusion. "You dare disrespect me, Amethyst! What is this!?" Sharply getting up from her throne, Adelaide groaned, her frown deepening soon when she caught Amethyst's eyes narrowed at her. An ugly grin curled across her lips, unbeknownst to her that this fuelled Amethyst's indignation. Her eyes quickly glowed with a sparkling flame of ire as she continued to walk in Adelaide's direction. "Is it desperatio
[Everyone Shall Reap As Darkness Continues To Sow!]"The evil times are finally here! It is time to dance in the darkness, isn't it?" Clasping her trembling, slender hands behind her back, Melpomene nervously murmured soon when she halted just a few seconds away from Liam, whom she caught staring at the stars. Her eyes were unusually twinkling just when Liam had sharply turned to her — not because he was startled but surprised by her words collection. His eyes followed the direction of her voice and quickly caught an innocent smile wrapped up across Melpomene's features. "You!" Liam whispered whilst a smile swiftly painted itself on his face, letting go of his momentary confusion over Melpomene's words. "They are indeed approaching at the speed that I was not expecting — at all! Very shameful how rudely the darkness is spreading." Motioning the siren to come closer to him, Liam aired in a voice that was deep as hell and cracked as he spoke. With a weak, proud smile, Melpomene shuffl
