Noel
"Thank you, please come again."
Noel said cheerfully towards a three tailed dog who was his visitor of the library. It barked and wagged its tail happily before disappearing behind the wooden entrance door.
Not long after that, another visitor went in, one after another and indulge themselves in reading books.
The nights at the library became fairly busy. After Noel's Mana reserve had restored, he decided to freely open the library door which was actually a dimensional gate to ten other dimensions near earth, resulting in big increase in visitors from the past three weeks after the opening.
A snake-like creature slithered towards Noel and thumped a stack of three books on the reception desk.
"Are you borrowing all of these?"
Noel asked while taking the books to put a borrower seal on it. It was quite damp due to the wet body of the serpent.
The serpent nodded and slithered its tongue. Noel smiled.
"Understood. Then,
Izfar"Phew..."Izfar sighed. He closed the world's history book that he's been reading since a few days ago and caned his chin on the windowsill. He crossed his legs."How romantic..."He was talking about the tale of the child of the night and how they met all their Sol before they died. Some were lucky enough to live their whole life with their Sol, but most of the child of the night never gotten to live with their Sol because even though the Sol became immortal after the oath of faith and loyalty, the Sol still have a shorter lifespan from the child of the night, so they always die earlier than them.The child of the night could still live even without the company of the Sol, but they have to limit the usage of their Mana and recharge their Mana constantly when it's used. Other than that they could actually live with mortals that they liked or loved, but a fleeting moment is more painful than a long moment, so the child of the night would usual
RickyAs the orchestral music played in the background, the main hall was filled with people that came to celebrate Ricky's father, Rowan Kruger's birthday.The hall was noisy with people chattering about some topic, most of them were irrelevant to Ricky's ears.After being forcefully told to greet the visitors by his big brother, Ricky finally had an opening to sneak to the west wing of the mansion where his bedroom was located at.He desperately looked around as he walked silently through the desolate hallway, looking for a person that he hoped he would found. Suddenly, he spotted a figure near the main entrance to the west wing and immediately smiled, the biggest smile that he had ever had since the start of the summer."Grandma!" He called to his grandmother, and she turned to look at him."Wow, who do we have here?" His grandmother broadly grinned, and accepted his dearly hug."Grandma, I'm glad that you came!" Ricky hollered che
Noel"Your highness, what should we do?!"A lycan half beast implored to the king, who was thinking hard of the strategies to protect the palace.When a huge rebel troop suddenly infiltrated the palace, especially when the main army troops were away on a troop, they were immediately surrounded by them, rendering them to have to retreat to the main palace for protection.Before they retreat, the mages have casted a protection spell around the main palace to fend off against the weapons and spells that the rebel group had casted and used."Rian, how many of our knights are still alive?"The king asked the advisor."Your highness. Right now, there are five platoons of knights that are still alive outside the barrier and defending the buildings and the central town people.""We have five platoons yet we have been backed into the corner like this? Just how many are the enemies?"The king clenched his paws as he gritted his te
RickyRicky tapped his feet on the marbled floor beside the swimming pool. For some reason, he felt restless, as if something had happened. But as far as he know, nothing eventful happened before or in the future so what is this uneasiness that he's feeling right now?"You're thinking about something?"Lucas, Ricky's big brother said while walking near him beside the pool. Ricky glanced at Lucas before answering."Nothing much, just things.""You don't wanna tell your big brother?" Lucas grinned."Uh- no? Why would I spill it to you?" Ricky answered and Lucas chuckled in response.Then, they were both quiet."Has father and mother gone to work?" Ricky started."Yeah. Even though it's summer holiday, they are as busy as ever." Lucas sighed."How about you, Lucas? Not working?" Lucas smirked. "I asked for a holiday from father. Gotta accompany my lonely younger brother now am I?"He said and Ricky clicked his
NoelDING DONG!The bell rang, waking Noel up from his slumber. He gathered all his strength just to sluggishly drag himself out from the bed and to the main door.He paused for a moment just to gain another strength to twist the door knob and opened it. Then he blinked his eyes and froze when he saw Ricky was at the door, staring at him with a surprised look."You..."His voice trembled then he noticed the golden aura surrounding Ricky was unconsciously trying to reach him and frantically stepped back while hugging himself.Ricky was surprised and also feeling rejected by Noel's actions, but he couldn't help feeling sad when he saw Noel's current state. Just like the night where he realized that Noel was a mage, his glimmering hair stretched until his ankle. His figure though, looked weak and helpless.He looked thinner from when he last saw him over a month ago. His lips were dry, and his face were pale. Ricky frowned as he clenched
Noel"W-What....?"Noel stammered.He stood up and slowly inched away from Ricky as he looked at him in horror. He was really confident that he had casted the amnesia spell on him, why would it not work?"This can't be..."Noel lifted his hand, attempting to cast another spell, even though he know that he didn't have anymore Mana left in him. Suddenly, Ricky grabbed his already lifted arms and raised it above his head, while trying not to be too forceful on his weak body that looked like it could break anytime. Noel flinched when Ricky's golden aura gradually seeped to him through his fingers, and gave up on trying to struggle away from Ricky."Noel, you are my soulmate!"Ricky said firsthand before Noel could chant anything. Noel blinked in confusion."W-What are you saying… so suddenly?" Noel mumbled."Uhm, how should I say this?" Ricky scratched his head with his free hand. "I did tell you that my family has be
(EXTRA CHAPTER)(RICKY'S POV)(THINGS THAT HAPPENED AFTER THEIR DISPUTE)In my dream, I saw a vivid figure of Noel as he reached his hand to me. While grabbing his hand, I noticed that this plump, soft looking hands weren't mine."Griselda."He called with a sweet voice, seemingly to direct that tone to me.Then a sudden realization came to me, that I am probably dreaming as Griselda, the woman that Noel first fell in love with.Time went to fast forward, but I noticed one thing, that is their each meetings were very simple; meet, idly chatted, exchange intimate gestures and part ways. The only different part was on their last meeting, they didn't greet and simply hugged each other for a very long time.Then one time it happened."Should we make the oath of faith and loyalty?"A voice resounded within me. It seemed like Griselda was the one saying it.Noel didn't say anything and just agreed,
NoelIt was the morning after the night where Ricky slept in the bed together with Noel. After waking up, he stretched himself as he yawned.He looked at the side of the bed where Noel slept and found out that he was not there. Just as he was about to think of his whereabouts, he heard clanking noise from the kitchen below and immediately realized that Noel was cooking.He lie down again on the bed with a stupid grin on his face and an expectant feeling as he wondered what breakfast would his soulmate made for him.After rolling on the bed for an adequate amount of time, Ricky decided to sightsee the neighborhood that Noel lives in from the balcony of his room. He did have tea with him there last night but it was too dark to see the surroundings fully. So without further hesitation, he slipped back his white v neck and slid open the balcony door.He took a deep breath of the fresh morning air. When he reached the end of the balcony and he touched t
