I found it difficult to believe what he had just said. Alibi? What justifications exist for using an alibi? He's already in front of me bending and kissing the back of my hands, and I can't help but narrow my eyes until I widen them the instant after blinking.
“And why are you acting this way right now, Celius?” Before finally looking me in the eyes, I heard him laugh.
"Solstice, don't you think it's too simple for me to inform you like this?" I often comprehend what others are trying to convey to me regarding their current circumstance, but for some reason, with these beasts constantly roaring over me, my stream of thought becomes a little more jumbled.
I groan and purposefully shake my head to release my hands from his grip, but he won't release them until I open my mouth to speak.
He smirks for the second time today, and I know that when he does, there will undoubtedly be an unexpected event. "Just trust me on this matter, Solstice, because
Because I can only hear three sounds at the moment—my pulse pounding like a war drum, the sound of our tight breathing, and the echo of our footsteps echoing through the mansion—what had transpired earlier seems to be a haze in my memories.How did we get into this predicament? I hardly knew because, as soon as I turned to face the young man who reminded me of someone I have met in this lifetime, there was a loud roar coming from outside the walls, and shortly after that, the building collapsed.The aristocrats who appeared to be the actual ones had been killed, but some of them fled like rabid animals with no idea what they were doing.Before I even have a chance to speak, Celius snaps his fingers and grabs hold of me. As a result, we ended up sprinting down these endless, black hallways.Even though the event hall had been tarnished by an unidentified power, it's possible that Celius had unfinished business in this location and that's why we
The words I was expecting to hear from him never materialized. Instead, he opened his hand's palms to reveal a mysterious misty air floating on top of his palms.He replies, "He's someone you don't want to mess with," and my curiosity returns. He adjusts our posture once more and successfully closes his hands, sensing my interest, and then he allows me to stand next to him.How is he acting? I want to inquire, but he's presumably in charge of the forces setting up the traps here for trespassers. He entwined our hands once more with his free hand before turning to face me with both of his eyes.Celius responds as if he knows something about who the person is, "Because he is someone that couldn't be touched unless when someone knows his genuine identity," and when I try to ask a question, he stops, causing me to merely narrow my eyes.We are, in fact, at a dead end once more, but this time it’s different. Because there is a small box in the middle of
“Will she ever awaken?”“Shh! Respect for the goddess is required!”"Well, Melda, I'm sorry. Just that—why does God Zeron seem to be upset with her all the time?”"I know as little as anyone even knows"“Do you know the reason why?”"Zelia, that's why I'm asking you.”“Listen, it's not our responsibility to mediate their reconciliation if we continue to witness their arguments over time. God Fermoir will arrive shortly, therefore we are only here to work.”“I get it, but why did God Fermoir go so slowly since, as a god, he has the power to travel through time and space at will in a split second?”“It's a good idea to have a backup plan in place in case you need to change your mind about the decision. Besides he’s finding someone.”“Is this a fellow human?”"No, this individual is not a human or a deity; it i
Even if I am not supposed to comprehend anything about this circumstance, there is one thing I am certain of, I have expected this to happen because Celius is involved and I am his partner in this particular incident. Simply put, I didn't anticipate it happening quickly enough.As soon as I began emerging from the period during which these people hadn't yet been born...“What is your present strategy, then, huh?” I argue about that as we have to breathe sternly because we are, in fact, in a terrible position. All we are doing is rushing around these hallway corners.I have his coat wrapped around my shoulders because it is so dark and chilly, and I can't see where we are going.Even if others are pursuing us, he is still holding my hands. I have the feeling that Celius is using magic to obscure these threats from my view.But, after grabbing his hands tightly to get his attention, he shoved me against the back of the door and put both o
I am unable to talk at that time or even tell him the words that have been storming through my mind. Although it's intensifying, I've never felt this stiff and paralyzed before.It's the first time I've ever felt like I was forced to believe something that I comprehend but can't currently process.My mouth is open wide enough to speak to him, yet I keep silent. I felt as though I was unable to question him for a variety of reasons and that questions were beginning to creep into my thoughts.But as soon as I heard him sigh, I also heard him speak again.“Also, this hunting activity serves as a ceremonial for events that occurred millions of years ago. In order to prevent the equilibrium of these creatures from being destroyed in the first place, someone named Yl should be provided blood.”"All right, I'll make an effort to comprehend what you just stated, but don't think I entirely comprehend you, Celius. We should focus on the immediate
Warm lights surround me, dazzling my eyesight, and with the snap of the young man's hands and the blinking of my eyes, I find myself at my home in what seems like an instant of enchantment.I can think of my room as a dreadful place for me to dwell.I look around, and when I spotted Celius resting soundly on the ground, my eyes couldn't open any wider. I gasp and my mouth opens because the young man I saw earlier, the young wizard, being slain by the host, survives.He is indeed sleeping on the chilly floor of my chamber and breathing. Even now, it takes me a few more breaths before I can assist him lying on my bed. At that point, I wrap a blanket around his torso and sigh while shaking my head.Although this young man is trouble, he is also telling the truth because although the host had previously killed him, it was simply an act of offering for their tradition and he has since come back to life.Yet, based on what Celius previously informed me,
Time went by, and the next thing I knew, nighttime had arrived. Celius left me some words, and they keep coming back to me.Yet because this is the room where I had to do a lot of studying, this isn't usually where I would eventually fall asleep.I considered abandoning up as I turned the book's pages since it just doesn't seem to make sense. It gave me the impression that I was the last piece of a puzzle, and the host should have been that piece.Since I didn't know him before and didn't even know he existed until I learned that there are certain creatures living in the human world, I'm confident that he doesn't belong on my list.I groan and turn the pages, and something catches my eye, even though it has nothing to do with the host. Instead, it has to do with a seal that I have seen in that location in the past.Even though the language is archaic, I can make out some fit-able words, but when I do so, I never anticipate making this startling dis
I never imagined that I would be led to this location, where I am breaking into the ally's stronghold, and not the enemy's. Because of its unusually dark and dismal characteristics, this location is known as Brosia Forest, and nobody ever enters it.The trees don't even have any leaves. I widened my eyes as a crow landed in front of me because all the trees are grayish and only contain crows.I can already recall that night, when I looked out from my balcony and saw an unknown figure and a crow appear out of nowhere.I couldn't help but scream, but as soon as I did, I felt as though I had gotten entangled in a spider's web. If Celius hadn't covered my eyes, I wouldn't have known what had transpired at the moment.He said in a low, sinister voice, "Don't look these animals in the eyes, or you'll have these illusions that aren't real. " I gulped and nodded in agreement before closing my eyes, even after he released his hold on my eyelids.Instead, I
