Once more, we race through some hallway corners without knowing where our feet will end up. Celius brought me near to him, and when I glance at his hand, it is firmly grasping mine and entwining our fingers.
Everything appears to be so quiet that it can even hide the darkness that is hovering over us and pursuing us to the furthest reaches of the area.
I'm not sure why there is this atmosphere of shadows, but in the end, I suppose it has something to do with the adversaries.
Because the individual we just saw is an illustration of how we should avoid catching their attention. They are capable of attacking anyone without even having any prior training.
As though they are under the sway of an elusive someone or force. When Celius stops, I broaden my eyes as I cast a narrowing glance our way.
Eventually, we came to this enormous wall covered in antique drawings. It has a different shape from the other walls.
I can tell that it is shaped like an
With this chilly water, I had the impression of having a bath. I hardly have any room to maneuver.My eyes enlarge as I gaze at the young boy who is staring at me. There is no sign of the warm water flowing from his face. Instead, all I see are eyes that glitter with an unidentifiable substance.“You claim to be Claudius Penerium, right? How is that possible?” When I ask him in a whisper, I'm simultaneously asking myself the same question.I furrow my brows, but I can't help but stare at the sight of the young lad who has his mouth the widest and eyes the most open.“Why? You must be unaware that I am the only Penerium descendant, right?” He continues to act as though it's not a big deal, but for Celius and me, it is.The Penerium is a thing. It is neither a home nor a soul. It resembles a golden cup with an ancient god or goddess' flower seal on it.What puzzles me is why this little young child is claiming to be a P
When I opened my eyes, I am being supported by this familiar creature in a strange place. I am so close to the edge that I can hardly speak. I turn to see, and a chill runs down my spine.The environment makes me feel as though I still belong in a different time.Yet, I am unsure because Celius had been staring at me as if I had just gone insane following what had transpired.Nothing was certain about what one should be asking or responding to for a very long time while quiet filled our places.I focus my attention on Celius the longest, and I can hear him sigh. He says a few strings of curses that are a little difficult for me to grasp. I shake my head and do the same as he did earlier.Until I had his entire attention, a pair of orange flames had been moving toward me as if they were already penetrating my soul.At that point, I opened my mouth to let out a breath I hadn't let out in a long time since I had arrived at this location.
I open my mouth to say something but find no words. The being is familiar to me when I gaze at him, but all I can make out is that he was grinning a dejected smile.I can tell that I'm safe because of the way his words caressed my entire being and seemed to be enough to calm my anxiousness.My hands are firm enough that I can be in this peaceful location without them trembling. When I turn around and look at this location, I see another creature, but he wasn't this one. That being looks like Casimir, yet at the moment, it's a person that resembles Xander.Xander looks just like the young man in front of me, but he is different. Since I knew Xander was dangerous and that he never solicited advice unless it was crucial to his plans, this creature was the complete opposite.He doesn't care what people think. That's what I can tell from his appearance and the way he speaks, at least for the extremely brief period that we've previously been t
My mouth became a thin line as that complete silence filled his space, and I drank the tea he had offered.I noticed as I looked around that these shadows are illuminated by the warm flickers of lights. I continued to stare at it until I was forced to stop breathing and open my eyes in response to the strange warmth that was descending beside my cheek.Our eyes locked as he said, "The wind had already swept your hair, Sol, and you're busy to be conscious, I guess." I can see a reflection of myself in his eyes.I can compare Xander's eyes to those because they don't have that same spark.I don't remember ever being this close to Xander. Perhaps it was when we had sex? Yet I can't think of any with this kind of event taking place in a garden.Before I knew it, he was leaning against my ears, creating the impassive warmth I had been feeling earlier. A warm, minty forest aroma cascaded down my neck.When I look at my hands, they are not tremblin
I struggled for a very long time to simply speak a few words. I tried to, but no matter how hard I stared into this young god's enchanted eyes, nothing would come out.My heart felt like it was beating like a huge drum that I wouldn't be able to stop with each breath he took. So then, why is he yelling under his breath, in my opinion?My head began to fill up with unnecessary ideas right away, and I had no choice but to exhale them as quickly as I could.I shake my head a little because I can still feel his hand's lingering warmth.“But I guess I'm glad that you're okay," he said once again in a voice that was so sweet it was like velvet honey, and I couldn't help but want to taste it in person.I widened my eyes, but why? I want it more, I want to hear more, I want to feel him more, and I want him to delve further into me.Why would a god breathe excessively if he could simply conjure some magic to heal himself? Yet as soon as I turne
He licked his lips and stared squarely into my eyes, and I could feel the venom in those words seeping out of his mouth.His eyes and lips are beginning to burn with need, and I can also see it there. Even though they are raised upward, his appearance and expression send a highly threatening message to anyone unfamiliar with him.I wouldn't also comprehend this kind of creature, or his deadly side if we hadn't been together that evening on the eve of his birthday. Yet because I did spend time with him, I was aware that he was also exposed in that way.But if he's completely invulnerable, he wouldn't be able to use it against anyone."W-What did you do to him, C-Casimir, and how did you find me? Why are you in this location and what's going on?”When I opened my mouth to ask him another inquiry, he placed his finger between my lips and made a funny sound that prevented me from finishing my sentence. The slightest sound of laughter caused my en
I mistakenly believed that we would be locked in the same location, both of us exposed, yet for the longest minute of my life, we aren't in the same location anymore.“I advise you to keep quiet when walking Solstice.”“What did I do once more?”"Your footsteps are loud""I notice, but I hear nothing from it, Casimir,” possibly your hearing is strong because, recall, you're a werewolf? I want to add those few words, but before I can even start to speak, I manage to close my mouth.I notice that his hand is firmly holding mine, but I never expected it to be soft in any way.We pause in this quiet nook for a while, and when I turned to look at his back, I saw something I shouldn't have.I see how serious he appears to be in contrast to the Casimir I had always imagined. The current difference is that there is no longer any hint of menace or teasing in his countenance.I am skulking behind his back wh
When I heard his voice soothing the warmth from my ears, it seemed as though time had stopped. The tone of the voice causes the heat that is still present to prickle every hair on my body.I should feel as if I'm being drenched in ice-cold water, untouched by the hypnotic effect of each breath he takes, while his penetrating gazes almost tore my soul apart, yet I was powerless to reject his words.My last option in this circumstance would be to sigh and shake my head, but I chose to do it right away. I can tell he's interested in what I might say because I'm staring at those mysterious golden orbs he possesses.I moved in the same manner he did, crouching down by his face and whispering just loudly enough for him to hear that his breath was caught in the words I was saying."Whatever I create doesn't really matter to you, Casimir. There is no love in our relationship. We are merely here to enjoy each other. We are constrained by this loveless arrangement
