[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
DANGEROUS APPEALS! Boots blasted across the dark forest that was as hushed as the lands of the dead. A figure of a man whizzed past the tall, primaeval trees, that had its heads of leaves dancing to the velocities of the breeze. There were squat, slim trees that were cheerfully shaggy and depressed alongside the brown grass next to a hissing lake. Dead leaves were leisurely falling to the dry ground, making a noisy crackling sound as they touched the ground. The runner's breath instantly grew frantic with the thought of being caught by the furred beasts behind him. His heart throbbed somewhere close to his throat. He could feel the earth beneath his feet quacking from his fear. From a distance afar, his ears could perceive the different kinds of sounds that surrounded him but mostly, of the heavy breaths of the creatures that were running after him were flowing in his veins like poison. "Keep running!"A voice, lacking resonance and definition, rang in his head— encouraging his
"I Am Here For You, My Love!" [Castle Ephraim] Half–closed eyes slowly opened wide to publish their imperfect beauty, glistening with the purest dew. The chilly breeze blew through the window that was left open and travelled inside the spacious room. The window was left undressed next to the queen–sized bed, there, where Amethyst was fast asleep. The sun was already high and blazing upon the blue sky that was dotted with fluffy, white clouds that were lazily floating in the gentle breeze. Amethyst's head was sunk deep into the dusty pink pillow while the sun's rays played a game of hiding and seeking on her ashen face. They aggressively chased her sleep away. Her bloodshot eyes darted to every corner of the room, which was coloured in shades of grey and hints of depressed whites on the walls. A groan escaped from her dry lips as her slim fingers clutched at her hair. As soon as she raised her head, a familiar lavender scent that was mixed with a medicinal scent, made a journey i
[ DELICATE DREAM CLOUD MY HEART. GIVE ME ALL THE STRENGTH AND I SHALL FIND YOU. I AM THE BEAST IN YOUR NIGHTMARES, OPEN YOUR WICKED HEART FOR ME! ]•••"Mama! I SAID I AM SORRY!" Little Amethyst stressed the words under her shaking breath. Silence gave its consent as it floated around the room. Little Amethyst kept her glistening eyes at her mother's figure. Her eyes were as dark as a pocket. She moved with unpredictable, swift movements around the house. "Are you listening to me? Don't tell her! Circe!" Little Amethyst continued to call out after she saw her mother get her tense figure dressed in a huge, black coat. She did not respond nor did she dare herself to look at her daughter, who was now on her knees, begging. "Even in his death! I have to suffer for his stupid sins…I know, it will happen soon! I have to destroy them!" It was then Circe puffed something from her mouth. She mumbled as she rummaged through the drawers for something only she knew what. She took some object
The sun slowly woke up, to decorate the sky— showering the beings of Ephraim with its light and heat. Inside the council room— in the depths of Castle Ephraim are ongoing arguments. The council room was already inundated with a cacophony of hopeless screams and the bangings of the tables. "Who cares if he is dead? He was not even selected by us!" Muriel shouted her words out of her mouth. Veins were protruding visibly on the surface of her skin whilst her hands flew helplessly in the air. Her utters were highly persuasive and some of the members nodded in agreement with her statement. "We have to follow the rules, Muriel. Adolphus had and has no right to sweep this under the carpet. Shame will fall upon our pack!" Sir Bernard advised while his eyes darted at Pierce's introverted figure seated in a chair next to him. Pierce remained quiet— his hands were quacking under the table."I have—" The door flew open to disclose Liam's twisted face. Everyone instantly fell silent and began
"IN THE UTTERS OF HIS SPEECH; SHIRT AND SWEET, ONE IS PROBABLE TO FALL BEHIND HIS SHADOWS. COVER YOUR HEART AND EARS, FOR I WILL WIND MY DARKNESS IN YOUR SOUL!" •••Loud rumbles of thunder were heard from outside. Lightning entered the room, making shivers crawl down Amethyst's skin. She silently watched Sir Bernard stubbornly fight everyone from telling him what to do or say. He did not seem to be touched by a salty river that was streaming on his daughter's cheeks. He cold-heartedly dared himself to stand up against Liam, for the first time in a year. Something inside of him was boiling. His heart was shuddering in satisfaction that was assorted with indignation. His huge furred body stood motionlessly in front of Liam and stared piercingly, deep into his grey eyes. "Take Melpomene to her room!" Liam ordered, his eyes looking directly, inside Sir Bernard's eyes. Elizabeth instantly took Melpomene to her room. "It was you!" Amethyst said to herself, scanning the posture in which
A pair of enraged hazel-coloured gazes glared into the blackness that was slowly enveloping the throne room of the Dark Castle, with its sticky embrace. Vigorous, intimidating belly laughter that belonged to Mauve, vibrated across the room, shaking every object that was cast as an ornament— synchronising with chills that were racing on Imogen's spine. Imogen; who was continuously puffing and huffing, turned in circles, searching for the owner of the belittling laughter. Mauve was purposely disappearing from her sight, every now and then. "How wicked you are! If only I knew…" Imogen growled, throwing fists at the black smoke that was slowly filling itself inside the room— engulfing her as it victoriously pervaded her system. "Don't be ridiculous Imogen! I AM A WITCH FOR DEVIL'S SAKE!" Mauve threw a peal of a shallow guffaw that inspired indignation to reach out to Imogen's soul. "You are so weak…honey, that's just so romantic! The longer you resist, the merrier the urge for IT!
[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
