VENUS cried in agony.Venus is the strongest woman in a supernatural being world.She doesn't want to show how weak she is or how much strength she possessed because she loves being a mysterious kind of woman. She loves how she can impress a lot of creatures by being the moon goddess and the most beautiful girl that the highest supreme assigned.Little did she know, she will come to the moment that she'll regret everything she has in her life.Being a guardian requires a lot of work. It doesn't stop from being just a mediator between humans and foxes/werewolves/vampires."Did I hurt you in any way? Did I do something wrong again? Please stop crying, Venus, I'm panicking!"Venus seems like she hasn't heard any of what Konan just said. She's out of herself. It seems like it's more than just about the bothering dreams she's been having.The thing is, she knows that she shares the same dream with Amaya. But the reason behind it is still left unknown. She doesn't know what should she do.
THIS is the day that Olivia has been waiting for, meeting her child for the first time with her father. Despite the knowledge that they don't love each other romantically, they still agreed to come together in the human realm and let their child know who she is. That is the only help they can offer to transfer them to the World of The Dreams. "Through us."They were shocked to see Konan and Olivia again in the human realm after almost a month of not showing themselves. Still, they can get down and have the same power as before, but they can't get near them. They're just shouting from the outside. "You're back," said Mune. "But why only today? We've been waiting for you to come and help us, especially Venus. But you will just come here now that things are already hard as it is?" asked Hiro. Olivia sighed. "Things got tough for us. If you're wondering where Venus is..." Konan stopped for a while and showed the unconscious Venus to them. "Just like Amaya, she has been sleeping f
A DARK and long tunnel welcomed the newcomers to the World of The Dreams. But actually, Amaya wasn't present in her dream. "Why am I expecting to see her as soon as I enter her dream? I must be hallucinating," says Hiro, disappointed. "We have no time. Let's go," says Mune. Nathan, Hiro, Yna, and Mune immediately run and find her.That place looked like it was a medieval era. Instead of supernatural beings, what welcomed them was a bunch of humans roaming around the site."What is this feeling? I feel like we traveled using a time machine and ended up in the past," says Hiro.Yna laughed and hit Hiro's back neck."You must find Amaya faster before you completely lose your mind," said Yna."Come on, girl, don't tell me you don't feel the same way I did?" Hiro asked."There's no time for chitchatting. Let's just move faster so we can locate her easily. We might be too late if we keep this up," says Nathan. Hiro shut his mouth and continued walking.'Oh god, I never knew this place c
THAT day, when the guardians received an unexpected visitor..."Forget everything," she whispers. She turned her back, knowing that Venus had forgotten everything about her dream. She was about to leave, but the body of Venus floated into thin air. Although she is sleeping, her powers are still flowing. Seems like her body can predict what she would do if she were awake and something terrible is being done to her. She used water and created an unidentified humidifier. When the strange visitor smelled it, she fell asleep. Konan and Olivia were stunned. "Things might happen if we continue to stay here. Let's go and check for the kids.""But how? We're forbidden to go near them?" asks Olivia. She smiles and leans her head forward."We will bring Venus," says Olivia. Konan is still thinking about it, not yet fully decided at all. "But how about her throne? Are we just leaving that lunatic here?" asks Konan. "We're here to give protection to her throne. Besides, the highest dei
PIECE by piece, Venus' memories is starting to come back. She didn't know that the highest deity was playing with her either. Now, she saw Florante bringing her to a familiar home. 'I can't stay here. I have my counterparts living here, I don't want to end up exploding after seeing her, But I can't move either! What should I do? It feels like I am under the control of something I can't even explain! But the truth is, I am just under the pressure of knowing the truth,' says Venus to her mind. She closed her eyes and let that man give her a comfortable bed. 'I know it's weakening to know the truth behind their past, but experiencing it in the middle of a dream is different. I need to find Amaya and get out of here before we get involved in a situation here. It's so complicated,' repeats Venus to her mind. That man has fallen in love at first sight with her is enough to use him. "My brother Finn brought a girl too? Argh! Why can't he just get satisfied with the girls in his life? H
"HERE, this is where I last saw him. His face is unrecognizable due to the impact of his fall. That fuckin Finn will be going to get what he deserves," says Amaya. "How did he see you hiding?" Venus asks. "If only you stayed quiet, we might have been able to save Polo, and all these curses won't happen again," says Nathan. "Stop butting in. You don't know what I experienced during those times. You weren't present!" Amaya shouted. "Stop fighting. That won't do," says Yna, crossing her arms over her chest."Tell me, how did Finn see you were hiding? Where did you go?" asks Venus. "My birthmark hurts so bad for seeing such a traumatic event. I don't know why my birthmark hurts, but since then, its image has gotten clearer and clearer... and the butterfly, it's not half now! This is the first time I saw a supernatural being kill a human, PART OF MY RACE! Down this cliff is where his bloody body lies. But since Finn kept me to that cell, I don't know if his body is still here," says
"HIRO? WHERE ARE YOU?! Shout if you ever hear me," I shouted.When Nathan tries to divert the attention of the werewolves' pack chasing me, I take that chance to run away and return to where I thought I left Hiro.I didn't know he followed me while crying and throwing tantrums. I didn't realize his presence 'cause my focus at that time was to vent out at nothingness.Little did I know, I'd been venting to an objective listener, but I even put him in danger.Aish! Now, what am I going to do? Where should I find him? I didn't exactly know where I saw him, but I remember hearing someone screaming but ignored it.Who would've cared for someone if your heart breaks? No one would ever deal with that.I stopped walking when I realized I was starting to lose my way and heading to the city where many humans reside. God damn it, everyone knows that.But I was cut short when I heard those animal hunters talking to each other about something I needed to hear."He's crying and asking for help when
"GO BACK HERE, NATHAN!" That was the last word I heard from Mune, Yna, and Venus. But I didn't listen. "I need to look for Amaya. She must be crying in agony." Why does she have to go alone without telling us? She is a fan of making us feel worried. First is her dream. Now, she was lost inside her dream. "AMAYA!" I shouted, hoping she would respond. What if she fell into the traps that the human has made?Aish! Am I just overreacting?I heard two humans walking away after looking at the floor......or at the floor?I got curious, but I didn't bother to look at it. I was busy finding Amaya. I turned my back against that part of the forest and planted a branch there so I would know the places I went. It took me a lot of time, I even got to the dead-end of the forest, and I was bathed in sweat. I kept shifting from wolf to human form, so I decided to return to the first place I went. I bit my curiosity, but I wished I didn't. My breath went faster than usual.Although my hea
WHEN Mune stopped punching, I took Amaya and carried her with my arms again. While Yna and Mune are consoling each other, I flee. As a matter of fact, I have been giving them countless problems and will just leave with the casualties on, not even planning on fixing it. At least, before going away, I get to say what I wanted. As I was walking away from Yna and Mune, random realizations hit me one by one. One of them is about Amaya's body. The fact that she's still here, her body is tangible and visible, I think it's one thing I should be thanking. Maybe I was born a masochist. I know how cruel the almighty is, but thoughts about thanking the deity are obvious evidence that I'm a fool. It feels heavy physically and emotionally while I have been carrying Amaya's body which has no life until I reached the heart of the forest. I put her in the middle and closed my eyes. I meditated to get into the deepest part of my mind. Having no experience at all of how I could use the fox marble to b
VENUS, Hein, and Dylan locked me up inside the cave. I knew I could flee or even teleported, but I couldn't do it right now. They blocked all the possible ways of my escape. I wanted to scream, but I couldn't. I don't have enough strength inside me. Looking at Amaya who suffered what she's meant to experience makes me want to blame myself continuously. How come she had to experience and face it alone without my presence? I know how painful it feels to face all the consequences alone. Is this the art of level of punishing one based on how heavy one mistake is?"I knew it," says Dylan. "He already knows.""What's the point of keeping it from me?" I replied bluntly. I closed my eyes, feeling all the energy build up around me. When I opened my eyes, just right after I opened my mouth, strong wind flew them all away from me— making a clear way for me to go out. A tiring body is all I have, and I used this to carry Amaya to a place I didn't know. Traveling with no direction, I guess. This
WALKING turns into running... and running turns into tears. It was the first time I finally felt the urge to cry. I feel like I'm not ready for what I'm about to face. But just waiting for her to show right before my eyes is an even harder job. I'm so tired of it, and I wanted to end it.This hope that I have been holding onto turns into a reality. A huge slap for Yna who keep on getting into my head, convincing me none could be true. "Hey, you wait for us!" Dylan called for me.There's an equal desire for Dylan and me to find Amaya. This must be it. No one can disappoint me now.Under the tree where no one lives, a tree that seems dead, the smell of Amaya gets stronger. The tears are now harder to stop from falling. Slowly, I walked towards the tree while focusing my eyes beneath the tree. I have to enter the little entrance to reach Amaya and that makes me anxious.Venus showed up. Probably, she finally sensed Amaya too.Just right before entering the little entrance, Hein held my
MOST of us had the same questions after seeing her teleported into a place we couldn't track. "Where did she go?"It's been a week now. But she's not showing us even her shadows, her smell, her voice, or her clothes. She didn't give us the hint or anything, she just left. Should I get mad at her? But what if, just what if, she's just waiting for me to find her?"We've done enough for today, Hiro. It's time to go home. You're not yet eating," says Yna. I looked at her coldly and gently nodded. But still, I continued walking, searching for her sense. I know I could find her, I know she's still there. No one would believe me, so instead of asking for their help, I just nodded. I always nodded and agreed with everything they say. Then afterward, I will continue looking at her— alone. Even if it means I have to crawl under the deepest cave, I would.Since the day Amaya left, I couldn't talk normally with anyone, not even with Yna. I have become cold-hearted, just like what they've accused
THE way he smile could creep even the worm who was just passing by. Everyone took stepped backward, clearly giving their obvious reaction because of his arrival.Inside a mansion, a dark aura surrounded the place. It's like there's a dark smoke that started to get its way in.Finn is not different when he showed up, he just became real. His real fang and monstrous side just came out."I warned you that I'm not yet done!" he shouted. His henchmen came out of his mouth— spitting black liquid that eventually became a whole different creature. He used them to become his protector and shield from their powers."What's the point of killing Hiro? Why are you so obsessed to kill him? Even if you successfully accomplish your plan, do you think Kagome will come back?!" snarled Venus. Her hands trembled but still tried so hard to hide it from him. It's kind of hard to pretend to be strong. Yet, Venus is holding on to the thought of believing in herself. That's the only key she knew to survive.F
"WHO IS THAT?" Amaya asks herself. Ruining the supposed to be "history" among the nine-tailed is like stomping on her reputation. Becoming happy and enjoying it— as it all pours inside her emotions is all she wanted. But this guy came, only to bring darker clouds with thunder rumbling on it— only to bring some dark news. But he didn't have the guts to finish his sentence. All he did is mumble and give threats with no solid plan. Yet, it's enough to make them worried. "Should we give our attention to him?" asks Hiro whose tails are now out but feels jelly. In just one look you will easily read him. Amaya knows, but she didn't tell. What's the reason for pointing out something that couldn't fix within ten seconds? Just to do the mocking? It's no use, and Amaya knows it very well. Amaya looked at him with worries that lies in between her eyes. She caressed his cheeks and rested his forehead on his. While doing so, her hand does the trick to send Finn away. It shocked Amaya to see her p
KAGOME shouted in anger. "He's a human but he seems like a nine-tailed. He has a lot of life!" Kagome stated as she went down to the ground and face Finn. "It doesn't matter right now. What's important now is you're here— we're together."Finn hugged Kagome. He couldn't contain the overflowing love and the bereavement he felt toward Kagome. It's either or both love and lust he felt. Immediately caressing her shoulder, and kissing her neck. Kagome's felt a bit off of what he was doing, she pushed him away disgustingly. "Come on, Finn, it's not important that we're together. It's not you who I wanted to be with.""And who? That Polo?!" says Finn. He shifted into a werewolf form of Nathan's body and gritted his teeth while he is also drooling. Disgusted Kagome pushed him away forcibly. She can't do it before, but she can now because her host is complete. Finn has gone insane. He grips Kagome's neck and lets his claws slide into her cheeks. Surely, it will create a scar on her face, m
"HOW COULD YOU DIE?! HOW COULD YOU?!" I shouted into Hiro's dead body, thinking as if he would answer my wailing call, my painful question. Running dry of words, all that's left are my tears and his cold body. I've been saying goodbye for the past few days without knowing I was doing it for my sake. Yelling, shaking his body, scratching my own body— I was in distress. Nothing left to do. It was the same pain I felt when Kira and Loki died."YOU!" Venus shouted at Olivia, who was still thinking about what I'd said earlier regarding her daughter."Is Yna okay?""YOU DARED TO ASK THAT?!""Stop acting as if it wasn't you who took out Kagome's heart! Stop acting as if you're not the one who has killed Hiro!" I snarled.Yelling isn't enough to show my anger, to deliver my message to her— no concrete actions are available to show it to them. Ugh, my heart hurts. My chest compresses so tight, my belly is moving so fast. I know what's next— it's our baby forcibly coming out. I wanted to ask
"ANGELINA!" Hiro shouted, pushing Yna away from me. He held me closer to him. Between his arms, he enveloped me. The way his voice raised scared me as well. Yna breathes heavily in an attempt to stop herself from shouting and doing something that could hurt me and irritate Hiro. I could've just stared at them, doing the conversation, saving me from humiliation. I could've let Hiro do the talking, and scolded Yna because of what she did that I don't even understand. Standing like a statue here won't do. Gently, I removed Hiro's arms wrapped around my shoulder. Facing Yna, I examined her. I looked around. "What did I do to him? Scratch his face? Slit his throat? Even cut his wrist? How did I do that when I'm here, unconscious, gaining back the energy I lost the last time I made a contact with the enemy?" I say, crossing my arms across my chest. I looked at Yna fiercely and examined her. "You don't have to know about it—" Hiro says, and I cut him into talking before the stupid repress
