BY MIDNIGHT, the noisy neighborhood became quiet, as if no one lived there. The streets and alleyways became empty. Most of the lights in the houses were off. No one went out at night in fear that only death awaited them on the street. The masked cat demon could not hear even the slightest noise. The neighborhood became dead. It was an unfamiliar sight, far from the town nearby, where bright lights shone inside the tall buildings.

On the roof of the tallest house, the masked cat demon stood. He watched the town in the distance. His two hands were behind his back. He was still wearing a mask and pure black clothes from head to toe. He didn’t take his eyes off the town even when the seer Niliandra landed behind him.

There was no moon or single star peeking through the thick clouds in the sky that night.

“Did you tell them what I told you?” the demon asked the woman.

“Yes,” Niliandra responded in her clear and calm voice. “Why are you helping them? Do you really fancy that man?”

“No. He’

    XURDEN caught the demon on his list, but he couldn’t be happy because of Yric. They were still not talking. After the younger boy boarded the train, he didn't know where he went. He didn’t look for him, because he had no intention of lowering himself just to give in to his wishes. He had done nothing wrong, so he shouldn’t apologize for it either. They could no longer save people corrupted by demons. He didn’t know where Yric got the idea that he could still help. It only reminded him of their meeting on the island where the younger boy also tried to help the man controlled by the demon.It’s been some time since Yric separated from him. He made himself busy by reading a book in his office without thinking about the younger boy. After all, Yric thought he could move alone, that’s why he let him be. He said to himself that Yric had left voluntarily so he could also learn to go home.He stopped reading when his assistant Marco knocked on his door. He took his eyes off the book when the

    XURDEN was not wrong that Yric went to Vivian’s house. He could feel his energy from the road where Sebastian parked the car. People were simple to understand. They could not let go of the things they were used to. They would still come back in the end, just like what happened to Yric. The younger boy thought differently, but he still really wanted to be friends with Vivian and Noah.“Boss, how did you know that Yric’s here?” Sebastian asked him when he turned to him from the driver’s seat.“I just guessed,” he said to his assistant. “Both of you stay here. I’ll go out. It might surprise his friends when they see me with other people they don’t know who.”“Alright. We’ll just wait here,” Marco said.He couldn’t wait for what his two assistants had to say, so he got out of the car.Xurden felt strange again as he stared at the big gate of the house. After closing the door with his hand, he walked towards the small gate. Apart from the restlessness of his chest and energy, his body felt

    THEY didn’t go straight home when they passed the park. The weather that day was clear. It was peaceful to look at the park, where the green plants and flowers were growing. Xurden could see other people strolling, mostly lovers. There were only a few groups of family and friends. Singles who just walk quietly would not disappear either.He could see all of them from the road where the speed of the car slowed down because of the heavy traffic ahead. The car couldn’t pass because the traffic took so long to end.Xurden only turned his gaze to Yric. The younger boy had been staring at the park since earlier.“What is your problem?” he asked him.The younger boy turned to him. “Nothing. I just want to go to the park. Let’s get some fresh air while thinking,” Yric replied to him.“What else do you have to think about?” he said to Yric.“A lot. You just don’t know.” Yric looked back outside.He sighed deeply for this. He looked at Sebastian, who turned to where they were sitting in the bac

    XURDEN found himself again in the bar. He had a lot to think about, and staying in the house would not help him find an answer to all of his questions. Hoping that the liquor would solve his problems, he drink everything without a pause. No matter how much he drank, it didn’t make him tipsy even a little. He was in his fifth bottle of brandy when she noticed this woman coming over to his table. He scowled in an instant when he realized who it was.Arasia wore a black dress that night, showing her curves. That’s why the other customers were looking at the way she walked, and even the women admired the deity. She calculated her every step, which was heavy, like she wanted to break down the entire bar. She sighed a few times before she reached his table. Sitting in the opposite chair, she let out a sigh one last time before putting her small bag on the side.“You’re here as well. I am so tired,” she said as she looked at how much he had already drunk. The empty bottles greeted her. She r

    THAT DAY, the professor took the entire class to a heritage house for a tour. The house was not just a simple building as Yric saw it from where he was sitting on a bench under the shade of the tree. It looked like a mansion with seven floors. He could tell the height of each floor through the tall painted windows. The lawn in front of the house was wide, and the professor let the entire class spread out on it. He was not with his two friends at that moment because he was tired from walking and also because of the heat. The weather was hot. He couldn’t handle it since he was dizzy. That was probably because he lacked sleep. He couldn’t sleep well last night after returning home. It wasn’t because demons visited him again, but it was something else. The conversation he and Xurden had before they went home played in his mind. Yric just smiled as he remembered those moments. He really enjoyed talking to Xurden especially when he annoyed the man. It pleased him when Xurden’s face displa

    AFTER RECEIVING a call from Yric, Xurden went directly to the mansion, together with his two henchmen. Cars couldn’t enter the private lawn, which was the most basic rule of that place. They had to leave the car at the front gate and walked on the bricked pathway, ignoring the searing sun. Students were going back to the buses. He checked every one of them as they walk searching for one particular boy. But he couldn’t find Yrc. He paused when he saw a familiar face. Vivian also stopped when she saw them approaching her. When the girl realized Yric had called for him, she walked closer.“Where’s Yric?” he asked the girl. The students just passed by without a sparing glance at them.Vivian hesitated to answer, but when he stared at her, she finally spoke. “He’s still in the mansion. He said he will stay even though the professor already told us to go back to the bus,” she told them. “It is dangerous for me, so he insisted that I also have to go.”“Who else knows that your other friend i

    EXTREME SILENCE broke inside the woods when Noah ran beside the biggest tree. Behind the boy was the cat-masked demon chasing his wit. Noah switched to all four to run faster on the dirt, covered with dried leaves. He gained distance, but it didn’t last long. The cat-masked demon jumped from the branch of the tree and landed on Noah’s back, making the boy groan hard.Noah turned around his body violently to remove the cat-masked demon’s foot. He freed himself with that big turn. The cat-masked demon jumped back a few steps away from the boy and waited. Noah stood on his two feet and was still a little disoriented. The cat-masked demon could see the difference in Noah’s complexion. He knew there was something serious happening to the boy. Noah’s eyes turned all black, and he was still drooling.Noah didn’t wait any longer. He rushed toward him, crawling. Then, he jumped afterward to reach him in a second. It was unfortunate for Noah because the boy was pretty slow. The cat-masked demo

    CONFUSION wrote on everyone’s faces except for the two brothers, who were the reason for the tension on that side of the room. Xurden couldn’t help to think about what unforgivable thing the man had done, which made Yric feel rage toward him. From what he could see, the effect of their fight was their separation and not talking to each other. He didn’t also forget the possibility that Yric already had forgiven the man. That’s why the younger boy checked the patient’s current condition.“I am really sorry, little brother,” the man said, still vowing his head. He really didn’t care if he looked pitiful in everyone’s eyes. “I hated my life before. It didn’t make me happy. I am sure you came here trying to understand why I chose this life now.”Yric stared at the man without a word and blinked his eyes. Xurden wondered what the younger boy was thinking during that time, which made Yric fall into silence. The younger boy didn’t even speak and waited for something to happen.No one dared to

    A salty wind blew from his left, whistling through the houses lining that one side of the beach. By late afternoon, that wind would breathe cool air, carrying with it the stench of the mudflats. The waves had already calmed down, giving this serene feeling aligned to the horizon. From where he was sitting, on the balcony of his two-story house, he could see everything that was happening in the white sand. There was a group of men drinking under the shade of the umbrella. Next to those men was a family sitting on the soft sand with no mats under them. Aside from those people close to his house, other humans scattered along the beach, going on with their life while seagulls cried in the air just above.It wasn’t out of the ordinary that many people flocked to the beach, admiring the solemnity and beauty. The month of December brought a lot of visitors to different places. He was now used to it, seeing people ever since Yric died, and that sorrowful day happened four years ago. He adjust

    He touched his head violently to deny the reality. His mind had stopped working. He couldn’t think of anything else other than the fading body of Yric. They both expected that there would be death. What he didn’t predict was the outcome of his fight with the deity.Once again, he questioned himself about being a god. He was a powerful god, but he failed to protect the most special person in his life. Yric and he didn’t get to spend a lot of time with each other which made his feeling worst. He could feel the pain building in his chest, drilling his new heart. The result of the exchange formed different pain. Saying goody to goodbye to Yric really hurt him badly. It was a fact that he could not forget even to his own death.The two leaders looked down at him. The expressions in their eyes never changed even a bit. But they were full of judgment, searching for all mistakes that he did to add up the sin he had made. After a while, the king shifted his attention to the demon lord.“What i

    The deity disappeared in a blink of an eye and appeared in front of him only a few inches away. He quickly blocked the attack with his sword, putting strength in the blade. The powerful punch of the deity touched his sword, creating a sound wave. Their clash turned the entire room into chaos, making the ceiling fall and breaking the walls. He pushed the deity harder, but the deity wouldn’t even budge even a little. He then sent his ice from his sword, starting with the hand to freeze the deity. His enemy was also fast to respond. The deity raised his other free hand, transforming his fingers into a sharp blade. When he realized the deity was about to stab him to the side, he stepped back to dodge.Fortunately, he escaped death as he stood alert. To calm his nerve, he took a deep breath. From that moment on, it would not be easy facing the deity. He had to put everything in one attack to defeat him. If he let the fight longer, he would only get tired. With that thought in mind, he held

    Xurden woke up in a searing pain drilling his head. The moment he opened his eyes, he found himself in the very middle of the dome underground. They tied his hands in golden chains attached to two dark pillars, making his wrist numb and burned. His skin had now red wounds. At the brief movement he made, he winced crazily. He couldn’t think of a way to free himself because the chains had drained all of his strength.He moved his head to look around, only to find nothing. He was alone and all he could see were the dark corners of the dome that the light of the torches stuck on the walls couldn’t reach. The runes written on the floor beneath were noticeable as they glowed in red. He understood what was really happening. The demon planned on taking over his body using that ceremony.He turned his head to the right when dark smoke appeared a few inches away from him. In that smoke, Jake came out and walked toward him. Every step the professor took seemed different to his eyes. When he stud

    They all got into the car as the traffic got heavier. The loud honking of cars never stopped ringing in his ears. The side mirrors almost rubbed together in that traffic jam. His servants sat down on his left while he remained on the other side. Arasia took the passenger’s seat quietly and Jake concentrated on driving. The silence inside the car didn’t last long. Sebastian couldn’t hold his mouth. His servant turned his attention to him. “Boss, why are you with him?” Sebastian asked. Jake heard clearly who was in front. Xurden observed the questioning look of his servant. “It’s because of her,” he answered. He moved his head a little toward the goddess. W “Are they together?” Sebastian said next. Xurden didn’t expect that Sebastian would say those words. He forgot Sebastian’s mind ran differently. His servant’s imagination could be wild sometimes. The moment that one question entered Arasia’s ear, she turned around with a frown on her face. She stared at Sebastian before she spo

    Xurden woke up from his sleep feeling refreshed on the side of the bed. His hand immediately looked for Yric while his eyes were still closed. But he didn’t feel him. He could only grab the empty sheet next to him. When he realized the younger boy wasn't there, he got up in a rush and got off the bed. He moved his eyes around the room, looking for a sign of the younger boy. Unfortunately, there was no sign of Yric, which made him worry. A second later, he closed his eyes, heightening all his senses. But he didn’t sense him even a bit. In the end, he accepted the reality that Yric wasn’t there on the mountain.As he was about to go out of the room, he noticed a note on the small table beside the bed. He picked it up after reading the message that Yric left for him. His forehead furrowed because of what Yric wrote on it. The message made him frustrated. Yric went on with his plan facing Veronica without bringing him along. Now that he was in that situation, alone in the mountain, he wou

    THE STORM had stopped on the mountaintops, making everything clear in Yric’s eyes from where he was standing at the mouth of the cave. All he could see was the thick snow that wouldn’t melt all year long. He was wearing thick fur to fight the surrounding cold. He left Xurden asleep inside his old house because he was waiting for his servants to arrive. Just as he was thinking about them, he could see movements below a hundred meters away from him. He saw his three servants climbing up the slope. All of them were wearing dark coats. When Tear waved his hand, he walked out of the cave and slid down toward his servants without using a tool to make his slide smooth. He used his body effectively and arrived in front of the three that stopped climbing.“You better have good news for me,” he told the three as he stood up. He removed the snow which clang on the fur.The three looked at each other before Drop spoke up. “We’re very sorry. Celestro escaped the dungeon,” the demon said and quickl

    THEY LAY down on the ground, looking up at the night sky. The stars seemed to fade away from their eyes while the cold of the breezing wind touched their skin. Around them, the silence was deafening. They could hear each other calm breathing. Xurden didn’t know for how long they stayed quiet. They only admired the serene scene above them. Yric broke the silence after a while. “How are the things there?” the young boy asked without turning his head. “It’s the same,” Xurden said to him. “Nothing had changed ever since I left.” He didn’t tell him about acquiring the seat from his older brother. But he felt like Yric sensed it, which was shown in his next words. “Even in your family?” Yric lay down on his side. The younger boy stared at his face. Xurden also did the same, meeting Yric’s questioning eyes. He hesitated for a second, but when he thought there was no point if he would hide it from him, he finally spoke about them. “Why do you ask?” he said to him first. “I just want to k

    THEY WENT directly to his older brother’s house, Mikael, after they returned to the floating city. The guards stopped them at the gate. He froze them in thick ice when they tried to rush toward him. They entered the gate with no problem. His two servants carried the man with his hands tied. They had to walk through the wide lawn before reaching the main house. The other guards came out. They ran towards them. With just a flick of his hand, they froze after being covered in thick ice. They reached the main house and no one else stopped them. He kicked the door to open it. He found his older brother having fun with three girls in the bath he had placed near the door. “What are you doing here?” his brother asked him with anger in his voice. Because of his arrival, the three women ran out of the water and entered a room. He pulled the man they were carrying and kicked him to fall into the bath. “What do you think you’re doing?” His older brother stood up in the bath because of his ang
