2021-02-14 14:23:57Chaol was still in a state of shock.
'What in the world did I just hear?'
Asty too, was stunned hearing the king's invitation for her. Her cheeks started to get flushed and she started to part her lips to speak.
"I cannot allow that," Chaol answered before she could. He started at the king with a dead expression and tapped his finger upon the table.
The other Night Hallows were also very speechless to even say a word. Their mouths were hanging open as they observed the King's and Chaol's intimidating auras. They felt sorry for Asty for being sandwiched between the two.
"Why not, Count Chaol? It wasn't you who I asked for a dance. It's Asty." he sharply replied back, slightly amused at how agitated the count looked.
"Well, as her guardian and keeper, I won't allow it." Chaol firmly told him. "End of discussion."

Chaol asked the woman beside her, nonchalantly as he pulled a cigarette."Still fun as it was before, thank you for taking me out today, Chaol.""Of course."There was an awkward silence between them that Lana and Owl could see. At first, they tried to ignore it, but Chaol was too obvious to them. They pretended a cough to a little to signal him of his very obvious actions. Chaol glared at them and rolled his eyes.Asty stared at him for much longer which Chaol immediately noticed. He turned his head on her and raised a brow.

"I want to see my little sister." Everyone couldn't move a muscle because of what they had just heard. Chaol stared at him, closely. How did he not notice? Othello was a tall man, with spiky bright red hair, almost similar to Asty's color palette. He was reckless, very challenging, and witted, which very much like her. But his eyes couldn't still believe it. He slowly turned his head to check Asty. Instead, she found her staring at Othello, her eyes wide open and her brows furrowed in puzzlement. "I'm sorry, what?" Owl broke the silence that went on for minutes. Othello stretched his limbs casually, feeling good about his grand entrance. "I'm Othello Cortell, Asty's older brother." he said with a dead tone at Chaol, asserting his dominance and responsibility over him. Chaol took a step back, shocked beyond belief with a hand on his mouth. "Are you playing with me, Othello?" "No, dumbass." he instantly replied. "I was bo

Being a brother is always hard. Not only that you have to remain as the father figure of your younger siblings, but you are also the strength of your mother to assist her when your father is away.And despite all that, Othello had nothing to worry about.It wasn't hard for him, because he never experienced becoming one, as he had already left the side of his sister when she was born, and came back late to see her.If he had the power to go back in time, he would. He would leap down from the trees and approach her playing with the sand and sticks. He would tap her on the shoulder and tell her that she was her brother.But he couldn't.He didn't want Asty to get involved with the things he started when he left. He didn't want Asty to get caught in a situation. He didn't want Asty to see him and reject him, for he was a Night Hallow.But one night, after 19 years of looking after her from behind the shadows and keeping her from ha

"Excuse me,"Othello stood up and abruptly dragged his feet outside the dining hall, leaving his plate of food half-full. Chaol, who was bringing a few portions of salmon in his mouth, looks at Asty.He saw how her eyes lowered and how her shoulder slumped down. She had already finished her food, thankfully."Chaol," she called out to him, to which he immediately responded."I'm listening.""Would you tell me more about my brother?"Chaol puts down his utensils and wiped the stain from his lips gently with the napkin. He then fixed his robe, making sure that he was feeling comfortable for the storytelling."Your brother, is a handful man."Asty looked at him apologetically. "I'm sorry about him.""Disciplining him was tedious and kept doing things that nobody in this household wanted him to do. He sucked at every chore he was assigned to and only exploited us of food and shelter. He did nothing to contribute and was rath

Othello gritted his teeth when his sister starts to walk away from him. She didn't want to return home with him, and that makes him worry more. He cannot leave her in here for much longer.Because he knew what fate had in store for her. He could see him only by looking at her from afar, especially when his former master, Chaol Dremurr comes in view.He clenched his calloused fists into a tight ball.'That moron should've done some research before lunging onto half-assed decisions!' he cursed under his breath. The anger he felt for the count was unbearable.Suddenly, he hears a faint clap behind him. He turned himself backward in a compelling and predatory manner, which caused the male to stop dead at his tracks.Everyone that approached him when he's pissed off, dies."How miserable.""This game that you started isn't entertaining Chaol." he snickered at him bitterly.

Chaol found a boy in the woods.It was on the 3rd of May, while the sun sets from the horizons when he found him. He was pale as snow, crouching beside the huge redwood, with his knees tucked against his arms. His eyes were fixed in a blank distance ahead of him. The young boy was flimsy and short. His eyes were dead and his lips were chapped and blue.Chaol was not very fond of adopting children into his castle, but there were times when there was an exception. He would only invite them if he sees them fit to live and serve him.He gently approached him and lowered himself to call out to him, softly."Hello there...""Get lost." the boy immediately spat at him. "Get lost or I will kill you.""Unfortunately, you can't." Chaol mimics a sad face and sat beside him. "So, how did you die?""I'm not dead." he hissed at him."A half breed then? Interesting, I haven't talked to a mongrel such as you are, in years."

It took many months before Chaol finally learned the little boy's name. He let him stay inside his castle but the other inhabitants weren't too happy about it."Othello!" the garden yelled from afar, holding the rake in his hands.Othello emerged from behind the shed, with his head lowered to the ground. He scratched the back of his nape and made the 'tsk' sound."Come here, boy." the gardener invited him.But Othello knew well that he wasn't going to be very friendly with him. He had broken the shovel of the gardener a few days ago and hid it behind the bushes."Othello." the gardener bellowed at him. "Would you care to explain what the hell is this?" he showed him the two broken pieces of the shovel in his hands. "How in the goddamn world did this break, Othello?"The shovel was snapped into two."I didn't do it." he lied to him."Your face says it all." the gardener hissed at him. "Why do you have to lie, goddamn it?"

Everyone was gathered near the fireplace, staring at each other’s faces as if they are in need of something to say. Yvonne whose body was covered with bandages stared at Othello with scorn on her face. Othello rolled his eyes at the woman.“Alright, now. It’s time for the both of you to apologize to each other.” Lana tells them with a strict voice. She was always the one in-charge after the gardener had left.Asty pinched Othello’s arm and encouraged him to do so and of course, he wasn’t able to deny it.

The bells rang from the distance. The woman with the bright orange hair stood behind the huge doors of the church. Her eyes were closed and a smile was evident on the woman's lips. Everything that she dreamed of was finally before her eyes. The moment had finally come. She opened her eyes and the doors finally parted ways. Her eyes fell to the long golden aisle that she so dreamt of walking one day. Beside it, on the benches, for all the people she loved and cared for. She felt her heart start pounding and racing faster and faster, when her bright persimmon orbs reached the center of the long corridor. There he stood, the love of her life, the apple of her eye, the man who taught her how to love. He had a smirk on his face and she just wanted to get over with that aisle wipe that smug grin off his face with a kiss. The music started.

Asty was walking around the palace when she noticed something strange everywhere. The maids seem to be avoiding her and she did not seem to see a single sentry guarding the gates.Everyone seems to be very busy and every time she would greet them they would only turn away."That's odd." she told herself. "They don't really act like this to me before."She walked around and around and even brought herself into the garden. But there was not a single person around.What was going on, she thought.She couldn't even find her friends anywhere in the Palace. She had woken up with absolutely nothing but the chirping of birds. She looked around to see if there was someone she can talk to.Yvonne wasn't there, Chaol wasn't there. Even her brother was not there."Where could they all have gone to?"She noticed that the maids were stealing glances at her. She would look at them and wave but then they would only avoid her gaze.

After being able to speak with her mother, Asty led the group to a path in the woods that led to a field of dandelions.They looked around and saw how beautiful it was. The sun was before them, and they could feel it burning through their skin, but even so— their eyes were fixed on the blanket of flowers that seemed to flow against the wind."This is so beautiful." Lana commented.Asty smiled at her. "This is where my mistress is buried.""Why isn't she buried in a proper grave?""That is because this is what she requested. That is a part of her will to be buried under the field of dandelions, chrysanthemums, and daisies. She wanted to face the sun and the skies. She wanted to look at the blanket of stars as she rested.

Asty and the others were sent in a carriage that was intended to traverse them into the village of Erana. Asty watched as the sea of trees ran across her vision. She stared at it for a long amount of time before wondering something in her head.Chaol reached out to her head and made it rest on his shoulders."Is something troubling you?" he asked her."No nothing at all." She told him. "I was just wondering a few things.""Like what?""They are not very pleasant things." She told him and smiled. "It's best if I keep it to myself.""You can always tell me about it. I won't mind." Chaol smiled at her. "Is it because of the battle?""Yeah." she nodded. "Polo was... in pain. I didn't know that he had to go through all that that's why he became the way he was.

The villagers that survived the war still had fear lingering inside their hearts. But nevertheless, even if there were fear and there was uncertainty, villagers continued to place their trust in the king. The king provided them with all the construction materials that they will be able to use to fix their houses that were crushed and broken during the war. While the villagers were singing their songs as they hammered their walls, a man came and frantically told them about the good news."Everyone, everyone! King is holding a celebration in the square!

There is no greater pain in the world than to lose someone you love.It is a pain that will be permanent inside your heart and will linger around for so many years. And she was not sure if she was prepared for that. Everything was so sudden, so fast, so abrupt. Did not know what to do or what to expect. The betrayal, the revelations, and then suddenly turning back the tables to prove that the ones she thought were the criminals were actually the innocent ones.She crouched on the ground and reached out to his cold body. What else can she expect? He is gone and he will never come back to her. The eclipse was an unfair event. The people viewed it as equal, but to her, it was only another cruel event.
