Infinite Dawn Chapter 23: Determination
As soon as I heard what Dubheasa said to her shadow soldiers, I thought of stopping Caius from following me. When I turned to ride on Namir, I bumped into a large clay pot, and it broke loudly on the ground. “Who's there?” I heard Dubheasa’s voice inside. I was startled when the bricks blasted before me. And just like that, I met Dubheasa eye to eye. My heart almost shrunk in fear seeing her blazing eyes. She was a beautiful young woman, but her eyes were red as blood, and black veins covered her entire face. Her straight hair was white as snow and so long that it touched the floor. What scared me most was the dark shadows that looked like a distorted body of a human.I was confused when she stepped back like she was scared of something. I could see her hands shaking, and her face was troubled as she looked at me. “Get her!” She commanded the soldiers of dark shadows.I got on Namir at once, and we ran away as fast as we could. I looked back to see if the shadows were close, but they

“You can stay here as long as you want. It’s dangerous outside this cave.” Kuu woke me from my deep thoughts. I sighed heavily and ducked to pat his head.“Look. I won’t be staying here for long. I still need to do something; we will leave in a bit,” I told him. His brows furrowed to that message. “Why? You might get caught out there,” he fretted.“Someone is waiting for me. I promised to meet him,” I honestly responded. He gazed at me for a moment, sighed laboriously, and crossed his arms.“Who?” He raised his brows. “The prince,” I replied.“Oh. The jerk,” Kuu rolled his eyes.I burst into waves of laughter as soon as I heard him call Caius a ‘jerk.’ “Why do you call him that?” I tried to suppress my laugh. “Because he is.” He strongly stated.“I don’t like him too,” I whispered to him.“Then don’t go,” he asked, beseeching.I sighed and gave him a sincere smile. “There are things that we need to do. And I need his help to stop the witch queen from sabotaging the village anymore.

“W-Who are you? W-Why are you h-here?” I asked tremblingly. My body shook in fear as I tried to step away from him.“My name is Nikolas, and you are the precious Nemiah, right?” He talked casually. Seeing his pale skin, topaz eyes, and unusual fangs, he’s probably a vampire. I’ve always seen them in movies, but I couldn’t believe I would encounter one in this world. He was creepy in every way, especially how he looked at me.“W-What do you want from me?” I stuttered. He only gave me a freaking grin and stepped closer to me. I stepped back but ended up stuck with the wall behind me. He reached out his hand and touched my face with his ice-cold fingers. I wanted to push him away but couldn’t move my body. My breathing was shallow, and it was like I would collapse anytime now.“Dubheasa didn’t tell me you were this beautiful,” he whispered as his hands traveled down to my lips. I tilted my head to the side to get rid of his hands. I saw the sunlight on the ladder coming from the open p
Last Updated : 2022-07-10Infinite Dawn Chapter 26: Broken Window
I was awakened by the faint sound of water drops near me. I slowly opened my eyes and saw a church-like shelter. The paintings on the wall were already faded, and there were large cracks as well. Broken pews were disassembled, and some glass pieces from the stained window were scattered on the dirty tile floor. “Where am I?” My hands were aching, and my feet felt strained like I had already been standing for a few hours.When I looked up, I saw my hands tied with a thick rope on a horizontal wood, supported by two vertical panels. I remembered I lost consciousness earlier. How long have I been sleeping? Where am I? Where’s that stupid vampire? What happened to the queen, Caius, and Vivar?I panicked and struggled to loosen up the knot, but they were too tight. It started to rain outside, and the thunder was deafening. I only realized it was too dark because of the rain clouds. If the movies are right, vampires cannot survive under the sunlight. But since it’s covered with thick cloud
Last Updated : 2022-07-11Infinite Dawn Chapter 27.1: The sudden proposal
It was almost dawn when we arrived at Kuu’s cave. We were grateful there was no ambush on our way. My body felt sore and the wounds were prickling me to the bone. Caius helped me ride off the horse and carried me inside the cave. I cringe whenever my wounds get grazed by the cloth wrapped around me. Behind us, Namir just followed around and I could see how worried his golden eyes were. I badly wanted to hug him and tell him I’m okay but my body could hardly move. “What happened to her?” Queen Morrigan and Kuu rushed toward us, fretting as they saw my condition. “Let’s clean her wounds first,” Caius muttered.Kuu hurriedly fixed the hays and laid a thick blanket on them. Caius, ever so gently, laid me down. “Get me some clean water.” He said without looking at anyone.The little kid darted towards a small pit just inside the cave. I wonder who dug it but it’s impressive that Kuu doesn’t have to get out of the cave just to get some water. He took a small wooden bucket and threw it into

“I need to change my clothes,” I told Caius. He was almost done wiping off the blood stains on my arms.“I’ll help you,” he offered.My eyes widened seeing how calm he was to say that. “I can do it on my own,” I told him.“You can barely move.” He scowled as he stared at me from head to toe.“I can,” I demanded and tried to get up but I lost my balance, and fell into his arms. I thought I had already regained my energy but my knees were still shaking. That cruel vampire had really beat me well. “I-I’ll ask help from the queen instead,” I muttered. “Why not me?” Caius insisted. I was starting to feel embarrassed and I was giving him the look but he couldn’t seem to get it. “What? You’re my fiance, so there’s nothing wrong if I’ll help you change your clothes. I’ll close my eyes if you’re uncomfortable.”“What?? I thought we already talked about this. Why still call me your fiance?” I was frustrated why he was suddenly bringing up the fake status. A crazy thought hit my mind and I acci

The morning sun was alluringly beaming across the horizon. Amaris still felt distressed for leaving Nemiah all wounded in that wrecked church. Though he knew that Caius would take care of her, he still wished he could do it instead. He kept walking back and forth in his small kitchen, feeling uneasy. Gili felt dizzy watching him fidgeting all over the place.”I can’t bear this anymore. I can’t eat properly watching you roaming around.” He murmured and loudly dropped the utensils on the table. He let out a sigh when he saw Amaris was still restless. He took the table knife and threw it right at him. It almost grazed Amaris’ face if he didn’t stop. The knife hissed through the air, aiming at the wooden cupboard behind Amaris. He flinched as the blade chucked through the surface of the cupboard.“Did you just—throw a knife at me?!” Amaris’ eyes widened in shock as he stared at the knife pierced deeply into the wood. “Are you crazy??” He yelled at Gili who was just relaxing sitting at the

“Why are you still here?” Caius annoyingly asked Amaris who was sitting at the crumbling table in front of him.“I’m the one supposed to ask you that,” Amaris responded. He was playfully twirling the dagger in his hand. The queen had just finished cooking scrambled eggs and laid the platter on the table where Amaris and Caius were sitting. “Can you please put that down? It’s dangerous to play with your dagger,” she scolded Amaris.“And who are you to say that?” Amaris retorted, making Caius grits his teeth. The prince was about to stand but the queen gave him a sharp look.“It’s obvious that your mother didn’t raise you well. I feel bad for you,” Queen Morrigan gave Amaris a pitying look to purposely annoy him.“What?! Well same with your son. It’s obvious that you didn’t raise him well either.” Amaris smirked at Caius.Caius raised again with his closed fist. Badly wanting to strike Amaris in the face.“Enough!” The queen scolded. She grabbed Amaris’ arm to stop him from spinning the

Infinite Dawn Chapter 79: Final Answer
The crescent moon shone brightly on the open window of my room. The night sky looked so peaceful and Caius was standing there, watching the spectacular view. But seeing Caius's dropped shoulders, I knew his thoughts were clouded tonight. "Can't you choose to stay?" He asked in a melancholic tone, still has his back on me.I bit my lower. I can't. Well I don't know how I'm gonna get back to my real world but once my mission here is done, I'll probably be gone in this place. And I don't really belong here. I have a family in my real world who are waiting and might be worrying about me by now."I'm sorry, Caius. I can't." I gasped, almost sounding like a whisper.He took a deep breath, loud enough for me to understand that he wasn't happy about my response. He slowly turned around, trying to make a smile. "Maybe the place you really belong to is so beautiful and peaceful that you don't want to stay here." He muttered."Well…" I paused for a moment to look at his sullen eyes. "It's not t
Infinite Dawn Chapter 78: Initial Goodbye
"You're dazzling, honey!" Queen Morrigan clasped her hands in awe as she looked at me from head to toe. The dress perfectly fit me like the sewist seemed to know the exact measurements of my body, though nobody came to take measures.I turned around as I stared blankly at the mirror. The queen helped me a lot with all the undergarments. Though it looked so lavish, the weight of the fabrics were a bit uncomfortable. She also fixed my curly hair with golden pins. The messy bun perfectly matched the shape of my face. It looked elegant in a simple way. I didn't know the queen had such a talent for this. I thought it's her maids that style her all the time. "Let me put some tint on your face. You're looking a little pale. Are you sure you're already feeling better?" She took my hand and guided me to the couch to let me sit. "Yes, your highness." I forced a smile to convince her.She stared at me for a moment before. Then she sighed giving me a simper. "Can you stop calling me like that?
Infinite Dawn Chapter 77: Burdens
I still haven't talked to Aries since they figured out I'll be leaving this place soon. He walked out as soon as I confirmed to them that what the elders said was true. Caius was also speechless about it. He wanted to talk to me but I refused. I wanted to take a break first. I'm overwhelmed with this situation. And now, the elders held a ball to celebrate my arrival. I'm already flustered with agitation due to my mission. And I'm dead worried about Aries. How am I going to explain everything to him? Now I regret not telling him the truth right away.*Knock*KnockI was awakened from my misery when I heard soft knocks on the door. I was currently in an extravagant room prepared by the elders for me. The entire room was as big as our townhouse in my real world. Every piece of furniture has a touch of gold, making me feel suffocated with the luxury around me. This doesn't help elevating the pressure strangling me now."Do you need help, Nemiah?" Queen Morrigan called from the other side o
Infinite Dawn Chapter 76: Silence of the Night
"What's wrong?" Dubheasa wondered why her soldiers came back to the shore looking frustrated."The houses are empty." One of the soldiers reported."What do you mean empty? Where will the people who live there go?" She snapped. "W-We searched each house but no one we're there. They left all their belongings but no one was found." The other shadow uttered in a trembling voice."What?! There's no way they've already escaped. How would they know?" The veins on her forehead showed how much she was enraged at the moment. Unconvinced, she sprinted to the village and checked some of the houses herself. She got more furious each time she wrecked the door and no one was inside. She tried to contemplate what could have happened. "Amaris. That ungrateful idiot!" She growled. She couldn't think of any other reason for the people to know about her conquest. Only Amaris knew she was going to attack the village tonight."Find them in every corner of this island and kill them! They have no other pla
Infinite Dawn Chapter 75: Missing Allies
The sky was dark and thunderstorms roared synchronizing with the heavy gushing of the rain. It was supposed to be a glorious day for Dubheasa but the weather doesn't seem to cooperate with her plans. She slouched on her throne while distressingly pressing her temples with her fingers. She was waiting for an alternate plan to destroy the village."My queen. The rain still hasn't stopped. Should we wait for it to cease before we proceed with the plan?" One of her soldiers came in to report. Dubheasa threw a sharp glance at him, making his body tremble in fear. He decided to bow his head to avoid the eye contact."Hasn't Jack come back yet?" She asked in a cold voice. Little did she know, the man she's waiting for has already turned into ashes."N-Not yet, your highness." The servant stuttered in fear."What could have happened to that old man? I just asked him to spy on Amaris and they both haven't returned yet." She straightened her back and took a deep breath. "I have a bad feeling ab
Infinite Dawn Chapter 74: Unexpected Visitor
(While Nemiah and her allies were stuck in the mansion..)Druji was feeling dizzy, keeping her eyes on her mother as she walked back and forth near the entrance of the cave. The anxiousness was written all over the queen's face as she took glances at the entrance, hoping the people she's waiting to return would show up anytime now."Mother, you've been like that for an hour already. Please calm down. Maybe they couldn't return yet due to the incessant pouring of the rain." Druji stood from her seat and stopped her mother from wandering around."I just can't help it. It's almost dark and there's still no news from them." The queen fretted, her hands were trembling as she clasped and unclasped them."Your highness. Aries is with them so don't have to worry. They're probably on their way now. Let's just wait here." Gili sighed as he watched the pouring rain outside. He knew that Dubheasa and her armies might be on their way now to destroy the village. He's also wondering why they haven't
Infinite Dawn Chapter 73: Secret Revealed
"Let's get inside, Nemiah. Everyone is waiting for you." Caius took my hand, about to lead me back to the portal."Hang on. How about the queen and the kids? I thought we're going to save the people too?" Aries pondered."The guy who welcomed us said that they're already inside. I haven't checked, though." I informed him. I began to wonder how they took the people and convinced them to come. I'm really curious about that place.Aries's forehead creased as soon as he heard me. He seemed faltered. I know he's also wondering how they're already inside. The rain almost stopped. Dubheasa probably has released her army to proceed with her evil plan. Just as I thought about it, the trees and nearby bushes rustled clamorously. "Let's get inside, Nemiah. I think Dubheasa's troops are already searching for us." Caius carefully looked around, tracing any shadows of the enemies."Aries. Come on!" I called him, who was also checking around."What did you just call him?" Caius's face dazed as he l
Infinite Dawn Chapter 72: Blush
"What are you doing!" I was finally able to get my energy back. I pushed him as hard as I could. He started to faint and fell on his knees. He spewed some black pearls like that of what Druji has vomited when I touched her. It vanished in the air as soon as it touched the ground.I dashed to approach him and gently rubbed his back. "Are you feeling alright now?" I fretted.He raised his head and wiped his mouth with the back of his hands. Grinning at me, he said, "More than alright." Then his eyes lowered on my lips, making the blood rush throughout my body. I could feel my face burning so I quickly stepped away from him."Pervert," I grumbled to myself as I touched my lips with my shaking fingers. "Why did you do that? You could have just touched me." I complained. Amaris chuckled as he got up and dusted off his pants. "Because I want to remove the curse that way. It worked perfectly though.""I shouldn't have stepped out for you.""But you did. Why did you?" He teased me, gliding s
Infinite Dawn Chapter 71: Willingness
“What is this place?” I jumped off the horse to get a better look at the breathtaking view of the paradise we were currently in. I heard everyone gasp in awe as they entered the portal. We were on concrete pavement and it was leading to a stunning white palace ahead. It was three times bigger and extravagant than that of Queen Morrigan's palace. Looking from afar, everything was painted in white and the windows seemed to be made of dazzling gold. What kind of people are living here? Or are they even people? This place is terrifically marvelous. I badly wanted to ask the horses since they're the one who brought us here. But it won't make sense since I don't understand them. I wonder if Namir could do that for me. I wandered my eyes around. There are thousands of white roses along the path. It looks exactly like what we have in Kuu's cave. Did those roses come from here? I could also hear the calming sound of a gushing falls somewhere. I wonder how this kind of bewildering place exists
