"SHIT. As far as I know, the fallen deities were as strong as Venus. What are you planning to do now?""How did you know about that?""Do we have enough time to answer such a complicated question? Just tell me what's your plan!" I replied."There's so many of them. Even if we fight back, the fallen deities will just increase.""How is that even possible?!" I asked."They were once a deity. The fallen deities still possess the same powers they had before."We were still busy talking to each other when we heard a freaking and disturbing laughter in front of us."Caught two birds in one stone, poof!" one of the fallen deities said.I glared at her."What do you want?" Dylan asked."That human beside you. I heard he has something inside him that could make someone the most powerful."Huh? Me again?"Give him to us, and I will spare your life, including these creatures," one of the deities said and pointed at the picture frame.Mune, Yna, and Nathan were all inside.Mune didn't transform i
THE fallen deities are now doomed.You will get what you want. "I'm so tired playing with you two, fallen deities. Why not make it real?" I said. Fire has been formed around me. I'm in so much anger right now, but I don't know why! Or maybe I do?I just can't accept the fact that I'm getting worried sick about Hiro. This is so bad! "Okay, on it!" the fallen deity said. The other fallen deities appear. Are they all here from the very beginning and just watching us? Aish! They looked horrifying!"Oh, what a scaredy-cat.""Who's scared? Him?" I asked and pointed at her back. One of the fallen deities is trembling. Obviously, they're scared of me. You should be, 'cause I will rip you into pieces. She hit that fallen deity, so he stands up straight, glaring at me.Boo, try more.My tails were glowing and ready to attack. The same goes for the other nine-tailed foxes. The fallen deities started to attack us. They're not directly hurting us, just only giving a fatal wound. That h
TOO much information. One more revelation and I'm about to explode. As much as I wanted to confront her right away about what she did, I couldn't do it because I might make a mistake again. I admit it, I'm such an impulsive decision-maker on my own. I can't afford to lose my powers in this situation. Not because of greed, but if many creatures have been put into a dangerous situation again, no one will guide them to overcome it. "Aish! This is frustrating! I hate it!" I shouted while punching the air. I punch my couch, the floor, my face, and whatever I see. I wanted to hit Olivia this hard until her face turned purple!Like I said before, having this higher authority is not a blessing but a curse. I regretted wishing to attain this position. I should be punching and shouting at Olivia right now, but I can't!Oh god. "Venus, what happened to your journey? Are they okay now?" Konan, who just came in, said. I should create a spell on my door so no one would come in without knoc
"NO more chitchats. I'm so tired from it. Just say what you want to say. I don't have a day."He sighed. "Your brother is my little family. He is Fairy and I's long-lost brother!""Are you out of your mind? I have seen Nathan from the moment he was born up until now. Don't tell lies to satisfy your desire to meet your brother!""And you wondered why he suddenly couldn't remember you in the early '90s, right?"How did he know this?"Nathan is my brother, and I want him to come back this instant," Fairy said after removing the beanie covering her face. They instantly ran toward Nathan like a wind!In that case, I have to run too. I have so many questions in my mind again, but I didn't bother yet. To me, no matter who that man really is, he's still my brother. He's the first I need to think about right now."STOP RIGHT THERE!" I shouted. I heard Nathan's whimper while running away from the fallen deities. "Dylan! Please help me!" he shouted. I stopped for a while and stepped a litt
"WHAT are you talking about? You and Konan had a child?""Yeah, but no, but yeah.""MAKE IT CLEAR!""We didn't mate to produce a child. While you're cursing, we meddled, right? After that, a strange seedling appeared in my hand. I'm afraid I might raise a monster. So... I stored the baby inside the human's body. I thought it was gone now. But then, I recognized her... and she's living as a human.""Okay, let's say you're right. But you still set up a bomb for the twin to let them die! You even shouted that you're excited to see them out of your life! You laughed like crazy, and your dark aura just came out! You even said you might kill me! Now, how will you explain that?""Die in surprise! I plotted a surprise bomb-like balloon at the top of the fallen deity's hiding place to surprise them. I planned to tell Yna everything because I was told that I could only protect her if she recognized me. I just didn't want you to go there alone, that's why I didn't let you go all by yourself! I d
CAN'T remember how many buckets of tears I have produced today. All I feel is frustration, heartache, worries, numbness, and anger.I want to let them know who they mess up with. I want to kill them with my bare hands until there's no more air coming out of their mouth. I want to squeeze their heart if they have one. I want to fucking hit them with a poisonous arrow.I have all the means to do it, but I chose to get taken by them; Mune and I did. As soon as I saw Hiro's energy getting sucked up by the fallen deities while he was inside the jar, I couldn't help but be vulnerable. He was my weakness.Fairy smiled and was about to put a chain in my arm, but I avoided it. "You are only allowed to chain me once you get them out of the jar and picture frame." Dylan finally let Nathan go out of his arms. He came forward to me and looked into my eyes. He did the same to Mune.After he did that, a creepy smile came to his lips. "A few days from now, Kagome will be awake. So both of you ha
TEARS started to fall off of my eyes. I can't remember when was the last time I saw her alive and well. I missed her so fucking much. "What? Are you gonna stare at me forever until your feet feel numb?" she asked while her tears were running down her cheeks too. With that, I didn't waste a single millisecond and I come running to her.She welcomed me with a warm hug that I only needed to feel safe and calm... the only thing I was hoping to feel after she woke up... to assure me that she's now okay and I have nothing to worry about anymore."Oh god... when was the last time we did this intimate hug together?" I asked. while my tears were falling off. She hit my shoulder jokingly and while laughing like a child. We just hugged there. Not saying anything, not uttering a single word. We're just crying in the middle of the night despite the threat of her beastly nature coming out.I don't care. We were always on the verge of death, always the target of those fucking strange creature
VENUS didn't listen to me.She closes her eyes for a few seconds.I was about to interrupt her, but she opened her eyes earlier than expected. When she opened them, their colors changed into oceanic blue.She started to mumble different kinds of languages that I couldn't;t understand even a bit.But as she says those words, a smoke appears around the mansion. It is crawling all around the corner of the mansion and venus just looks different.Is this the real appearance of a guardian?It took a while before she finishes doing her thing.She closed her eyes again. As she opened them, I heard the growling sound coming from the basement.With that, I looked at the moon."It's perfectly round. I couldn't even stop myself admiring it.""That's the power of the moon. It shines just the way that humans want to see it. You are its master."I looked at Venus. Her eyes turned back to a normal blue."Why?""Because the moon was created by your god. We are just a foreigner here. I'm glad because ou
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
