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.
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."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.
Hello my dear readers,A few heads up before you all start this story.

Zylith.THAT senile old fox!Goddamnit! You can never trust
Zylith.DEAR LIFE,When I said "Can my day get any worse" it was a rhetorical question, not a challenge.
Zylith.
ZYLITH.DEAR bad Luck, let's break up.I can't deal with you anymore. You're like a bad cold that won't go away no matter what I do. I've had enough! Let me talk to your superior so that I can get permission to high five you with a chair, on your face."....Hey! Earth to Fake Lizzy." My knight in shining armour who turned out to be an asshole in an aluminium foil waved his hand in front of my face to bring me back to earth. Even though I was super reluctant to, Reuben's hard stare made it tough for me to defy him, not to mention the ogle of the mummy guy.Yes, you guessed right. All the assholes and jerks are gathered up in the same place today to gawk at me to death. Don't even ask why.And I was like a dead Tuna going with the flow. It was almost scary how it only took one action to start a ripple effect. My desire to survive changed my life forever. A

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
