After cloud watching with Niccoli, Audrey descended down the hill. Looking around her, she realized that she was walking down the path that leads to the place where Nike almost confessed his feelings to her.
Well, recalling that situation indeed make her blush. But not because of anything romantic but more because of shame!!!!!
Thinking back at that suppose romantic night with Nike that ended up to be a total epic fail, Audrey almost wanted the ground to swallow her.
The place and atmosphere were almost perfect. An ideal romantic setting that is commonly portrayed in the books.
Even the pale glow of the moon is there to complete the scene. In fact, even the thousand brilliant diamonds in the sky were also present at that time.
But before Nike could even confess his love, her stupid digestive system gets on the way!!!!!
Who could be more unlucky than her when it comes to romance???
Why in the freaking earth of all the tim
On the flip side, complete unaware of how her very presence alone could affect Jace, Audrey continued to make her way towards him. Consequently, when Jace saw Andrew going to his direction, the tumult deep inside him tighten its grip over his heart.Over the course of these past few days, he had been troubled by his own confusion and emotion. He deeply wanted to shut those things away, but he realized that it was really hard to hide on yourself.He wanted to vent those frustrations heaping up at him but he just can't find a release. He wanted something like a bridge that could provide him a place away from all these drama and confusion.But who would have thought that the one who could give him a bridge over troubled water was the same man who brought him all these confusions?What a timing."Jace, is there something troubling you recently???? Well dude, you know I'm always here for you. Don't you? You can always c
"Okay, my bad. It is not you. It does not have anything to with you at all. It is all about your friend. So as I'm saying if someone confessed to YOUR friend. Your friend should just accept it. Then your friend just had to explain to the other party which happened to be another friend of yours what their situation is."Audrey purposely emphasized the word 'friend' every time she used it. Although Jace realized that Andrew (Audrey) was making fun of him, his curiosity still gets the better of him. So he continued asking."What situation??? Explain what??"Well, for example, If I think that there is a chance between us. Then I'll tell her that we can give it a try. Well, that would be the best result. But if ever I don't think that there is any chance between us at all. Then I should still accept her confession to make her feel at ease. But at the same time, I will explain to her that it is impossible between us."'If Nike did it just like tha
As soon as Audrey opened the door to her room, an imposing black cat who was currently sitting at her bed greeted her.[Where have you been at this time of the night???]If not because of the black tail that was languidly swishing and flicking behind him, Nero could easily pass off for the character of a granny old man who was scolding his naughty grandchild for going home late at night.Aside from that, since this cat of hers is not something ordinary, it can also sit with its hind legs and cross two of his arms across his chess.So imagine how imposing Nero was right now, while he was acting like a grown-up man. He was even playing with his whiskers as he eyes his master questioningly."I just had a casual stroll outside and had lost track of time. Why is there anything that happened here while I was away???"[None, at all. I just did not expect that you won't be here to welcome me when I arrived.]"Welco
Knock! Knock!On the next morning, Audrey was woken up by the soft knocking that was coming from her door. As soon as she realized that it was her friends waiting for her outside, she immediately sat up. While she was stretching her back to relieve the stiffness in her body due to sleeping she is also walking towards the door. However, just as when she was about to open the door, she heard Allan's voice on the other side calling for her."Andrew????""Comiiiiingggg"She answered back while yawning.The sun has not yet to fully ascend to the sky when Nike and the rest of Audrey's friends decided to start the day. In fact, the dawn chorus hasn't finished their first song yet when the group went on to knock at Audrey's door. Even the early rays of the morning sun had just barely filtered into the room through the capiz windowpane when Audrey woke up. Opening the door, Audrey tried to rub away the sleepiness remaining in her eyes
"Twenty years ago, there were a total of three major occurrences that happened in our kingdom but I believe that only one of them could possibly lead us to the news of the apprentice necromancer that appears on our kingdom."Nike started as he looked at each of his friends to make sure that their attention was on him. Before he proceeded on reporting everything that he managed to uncover so far."One of those major occurrences happened 18 years ago. This strange phenomenon was recorded in our library but most of the accounts of what happened that day were taken somewhere else. Nevertheless, I still managed to learn some of it.It was said that on the 23rd day the first quarter of that year, the sun dimmed and engulfed the sky with darkness. The entire kingdom was plunged into darkness even though it was clear daybreak that time.""It sounds like there was a solar eclipse that time..."Audrey thought to herself. But of course, she did
"Ohh.. so the apprentice necromancer followed them here to your kingdom to chase after his runaway bride?? Is that what happened next??"Steve said as he tried to continue the story narrated by Nike."Yes, it eventually ended that way. The apprentice necromancer caught wind of the news that the love of his life elopes with another man and fled to the Kingdom of Corona to start their own love story. So he followed them down here. But that it was only after a couple of years since they elope that the apprentice necromancer learned of their whereabouts.""Ohhh... that is really tragic for the apprentice necromancer. He was already condemned to live his life in seclusion because of his identity and involvement in the forgotten practice of necromancy. Yet even the girl that she trusts and loved te most betrays him and left him for another man."Audrey can somehow feel the pain and sorrow that the apprentice necromancer had felt that time. H
"If only we have Audrey here, it will be easier for us to find more truth about the matter.."Nike muttered despondently"Yes, indeed. If she was only here to help us acquire the information from her clan. It will be a lot easier for us..""Why don't we talk to Selene instead??? She is also from Lee Clan, right?"Niccoli suggested. Since he knew the truth behind his brother's situation he suggested Audrey's cousin instead.In any sense, they were still from the same clan."No.. it can only be Audrey. Selene might not even be privy about that matter. The Clan Head makes sure to lock down that information. It was only because my father is the emperor that he gave some of the information. But anyone aside from Audrey, I don't think will be much of a help to us""Me??? Why me???"Hearing Nike's words, even Audrey was confused.'Why it has to be me?? I don't even have an idea about that. It was my f
"I never expected that I would personally send myself back to that place after running away that night."Audrey whispered to herself as they made their way.[Well, guess what? So do I. It didn't occur to me that a day will come that we will set foot back at your clan residence without anyone dragging us on our feet.]"Yeah, this was really an unexpected twist on my plan."[Well, let us just be thankful that you got a great face altering mask with you. Now, let us just hope that it will be enough to fool the eyes of your grandfather later on.]"Yeah.. and I think I would have to hide you from them as well. We should not give them anything that could point out any similarity between Andrew and Audrey."[I could not agree more. Considering that we will be entering the place where most of the people know you very well before, it is indeed better to be safe than sorry. We have to
