ZYLITH.
The girl was what you would call a doll of the Victorian era.
Her hair was honey-blond from roots to the tip, just like her mother. Her golden hair draped down softly curling along the ends. She had identical blue glacial eyes as the queen dowager, which apparently were fixed on me as she made her way towards us. But the very next moment, she dismissed me as if I was but just a speck of dust in her soles of her shoes, as if I were an afterthought, not relevant enough to stick and not important enough to appear often.
As soon as I laid eyes on her, I could tell that she was never less than arrogant. Her attitude spoke bunches of her conceited he
ZYLITH.Ding!Hear that? That is supposed to be the notification of my impending expiration date. Yeah guys, not kidding!The way Princess Cordelia was eyeing me was very similar to the eyes of an executioner in the gallows. She looked as mad as a fly in a fruit jar, with a severe migraine.Poor Lord Gilbert on the other hand, looked like he had just swallowed the crazy fly of the fruit jar. Seriously, sometimes it pained me to even look at his contorted face. Its as if he was getting grey hairs right in front of my very own eyes.But you must know that I'm not the kind of p
ZYLITH.I looked at Reuben with a stinky face. I was still pissed at him because of his obvious disregard of my talents, and now he has the audacity to laugh at my face. Sometimes I wondered if it was a mistake to collude with this psychopath.He, on the other hand, looked at me with eyes filled with mirth and somehow, another enlightenment graced me just then. The more I get to know certain people, the more I came to realize why Noah let only animals board the ark."Dear Fake Lizzy, are you feeling lucky? Because you think people can't hear what you're thinking?" Reuben in turn looked at me in an impish manner, as if to say he could see right through me.
SOMEWHERE IN THE DINGY CORNER OF THE ALLEYWAYS OF ZELDERETH EMPIRE_A few shady shadows were seen seated in a rundown small inn of the Briskwood alleyway. All of them had their faces covered under dusty hoods, looking very much suspicious. One of the perpetrators was a reedy thin woman with a shrill voice called Ophelia Vegan, she was a part-time pimp of the red-light districts who was never upto any good. The others were all rough-looking gruff men.“When is the guy coming? Its already pass the appointed time.” One of the men grunted in annoyance, this man called Cuffled was a small-time bounty hunter who was trying to make it big this time.“Can we even trust this guy?
ZYLITH.Ola' people. I just wanna say, I'm not in a good mood today. Why you ask? Because I had been bestowed another enlightenment today; If I was a bird, I now know who I would shit on.Oh, I think you guys have guessed it out already, but I'm still going to narrate my sob-story to you guys today, otherwise I don't know where else I would be able to vent out my frustrations. So bear with me people_Reuben didn't speak much after his heart to heart with me. He a
ZYLITH.“Now while we’re still on the topic, I’d like to ask, have you never noticed any anomaly about yourself, ever?”“What do you mean byanomaly?” Did he mean if I noticed if I was a freak or not? Now why did that irked me, I wonder.“Oh you know, like glowing eyes or super cleared vision, or perhaps, anything of the magical kind?”I looked at him with a deadpanned face and muttered in a bland voice, “No I haven’t.”“Hmm, I see.” He had a thoughtfu
REUBEN.This Girl.I looked at the petite girl with pale blue eyes who stood before me seeking answers I didn't want to respond to, her soft silky dress was illuminated by the light in the room. It trailed behind her and danced along her legs, growing smoother with every second.Life with Fake Lizzy, as you call it, was never dreary. Sometimes even bafflingly amusing.At times, she was an open book, while at other times, she was the most mysterious soul I had ever come across. A part of her mystery was how she was calm in a storm while anxious in the quiet.
ZYLITH."Hmm, how about you go and try to subdue the servant legion from the Queen Dowager. That ought to pass some of your leisure time." Charming as he was, even angels would damn themselves for him. That wry meaningful smile of his depicted the true sense of the words, 'Clever-as-the-Devil-and-twice-as-pretty.'This guy.Who was looking at me viciously yet smiling enchantingly, to this day, I am clueless as to what goes on in this guy's head. He's like ten people packed in one body, and be like – Spin the wheel, buttercup. I felt he should be bragging if he hadn't had one of his mood swings in like, the next five minutes.
A little something about the AUTHOR :Victoric spoke to Zylith the other day and here's how the conversation when_Victoric – Zylith, stop munching onto food like a cow-on-a-eating-spree and get your ass up and do something fun so that people get amused enough to click on the LIKE button and COMMENT.Zylith – (Looks at Victoric with pointed eyes) Liana, bring me the club!Victoric –Wha-What do you need the club for?Zylith – You dare to put me on exhibition, no
ZYLITH."I remember it being a hot summer evening. I had mild beads of sweat adorning my temple as I rushed to my mother. I collided into the then First Queen who seemed to be on her way to my father. I fell back onto the ground due to the hard collision and she crouched down with an extended hand towards me; asking me why I had tears in my eyes. And I, like a fool, told her of my woes." He sneered in a twisted smile. It was not exactly a smile, maybe an ironic kind of self-mockery? But one could not call it a genuine smile."She was so kind and patient that for a sensitive ten-year-old, who was hardly ever taken seriously by an adult, it was the greatest form of gratification. I was really grateful, and I.... I even trusted all her words of console and false promises. She gave me a tonic, claiming it would definitely help my mother get better. And I.
ZYLITH."There was this one time when her hand slipped and the sword she was practicing with went out flying and.....""And? What happened next? Come on come on, tell me! Fast!" I urged him with shining eyes, albeit he couldn't see my expression but I recon he could imagine how excited I must've seemed to him.Alexteris and Reuben's mom seem just like the kind of mom I would die to have."(Chuckle!) And the sword flew out towards the head of the then grand chancellor who had come to discuss some important matters with my father. With a zapping sound, it went right pass above his head while carrying the wig he was wearing along with it. The man, who had a complex about his bald head was forced to stand there, solidified, like a hairless statue, while shaking all over(Chuc
ZYLITH.Smouldering, flickering, it flared and leaped. The fire licked the walls around me with a dangerous fervor. It soared and winded around the room like a huge hungry serpent, an inferno blazing out of control, the plumes of grey smoke enveloping us with not a way to escape.It's almost funny how only a flickering spark could weave such a destructive blazing curse.When I saw the flaming arrow zipping towards Alexteris through the massive window of the master bedroom, I was a wide-eyed ball of anxiety. I bolted to him unconsciously to pull him out of the arrow's trajectory, but what I didn't realize was that it was just a fraction of the entire plot. They not only wanted the life of Alexteris, but all the lives in the whole Eastern palace.
FUN FACTS: I wrote chapter 51 while listening to WILLOW by TAYLOR SWIFT. ~•••••••••••••••~ REUBEN. The light was blinding, almost dyeing the scenery before me into a pallid plane of silvery white. And amidst that blinding light, I saw her. She wore the same unadorned white dress that she usually liked to be dressed in, her hair in a loose plait, tumbling down her thin shoulders, and those green eyes alit with the same optimistic enthusiasm, a hint of innocent mischief in her insipid beautiful eyes. "Benny...." She turned her he
Zylith."If the princess is so inclined to hear my performance, I can't possibly continue to decline and embarrass the benevolent Princess. Your majesty, you need not worry about the rest. Since I do have something prepared of the sort, just let this Queen perform a song for you and the Princess to enjoy." I said with a stunning smile, but Alexteris rather looked at me in unease.Lord Xavier raised his brows and spoke in a soft voice, "What do you think, do you think our Queen will be able to amaze the crowd or will it be that little songstress?"Looking at me with a scrutinizing gaze, my gorgeous instructor said, "It's hard to say, I mean it's Her Highness after all. There are some matters that could be guessed in the beginning but cannot be guessed in the end. The tab
Zylith.There is a saying that conceited idiots never learn. And I just found it out to be the absolute truth.After a few rounds of drinks and a few flattery to boost the sewer rat general's tattered ego, his initial embarrassment gradually disappeared and he, once again seemed to have gained a fresh new life."Pardon Your Majesties, I heard that it hasn't even been more than a few months since Her Highness the first Queen has entered the Imperial palace. Since that is the case, are you accustomed to the palace yet?" I couldn't believe the thick skin of General Loghard, after all that humiliation I put him through, he still had the face to speak to me. Sometimes people are just..... unbelievable.I looked at him in an in
Zylith. Everyone has the right to be stupid sometimes. But this gentleman right here, was abusing the privilege. Now I know what an idiot really looks like. I looked sympathetically at the bud with all brawn and no brains. Sure enough, feeders do the most harm to your team. He'd just blurted out the treasonous thoughts that no one had dared to say. You sir, are not a genius! The one who broke the silence this time was Alexteris. He scornfully raised his eyebrows and laughed coldly, resting his chin on one hand. "So vice general Rottival is really aware that Lady Angela Darling is a songstress."
Zylith. There are many thing in life that I hated, but what I hated the most of all was.... A BITCH! I hated bitches the most! Especially the ones that acted all weak and pitiable, while hiding a bellyful of venom! I was glaring so hard that my eyeballs were about to ignite. In fact, if glares could kill, my scorching glare burning holes into this seductive songstress could kill her a thousand times. General Geovelle's gaze darted between Alexteris and the bitch Angela Darling, who was currently fluttering her fake lashes at our little prince. Feeling as though his purpose of bringing this girl to the high court had finally came to fruition, delight flashed through his wease
ZYLITH. I gaped at the grizzly bear in front of me, or more accurately, the grizzly-like man in front of me. Now let me tell you the story of how I met this grizzly bear of a man. The evening palace banquet that took place at an abrupt timing was in full bustle when the Queen Dowager came over and announced our V.I.P guest of the day, "Let me introduce you. This is my second uncle from my mother's side, a border general, Lord Geovelle Loghard. Uncle, this is my new daughter-in-law, First Queen Elizabeth Ronales the Regalious." The Queen Dowager chirped in a cheery voice. I had just reached Alexteris's side and sat down when the crafty Queen Dowager's introduction came. My smile stiffened at the sudden intro, for I didn't know that this sewer rat was the Qu
