A place abandoned by God

last update Last Updated: 2025-03-30 11:17:59

Hades,

The scent of baked coffee mixed with something unfamiliar hit my nose the moment I stepped into the old boutique. The dim lighting cast shadows over the wooden furniture, and porcelain dolls lined the shelves, their empty eyes watching in silence. To the untrained eye, this place might seem like nothing more than an antique shop, but I knew better.

Something in the air felt ancient. Powerful.

As I scanned the room, footsteps approached.

An old man… sixty years old, left leg injured.

I didn’t turn immediately, letting the presence behind me settle. The scent of age and faint traces of medicine clung to the air around him, blending with the wood and dust of the shop.

"Welcome," a frail voice greeted.

Slowly, I turned to see him leaning on a cane, his posture slightly bent with age. Despite his weak frame, there was a sharpness in his gaze, a knowing glint that told me he wasn’t just an ordinary shopkeeper. He studied me, taking in my presence with a look of mil

    The old man’s directions had led me here, to the outskirts of the city, to a place where time seemed to have withered into the past. The road twisted, narrow and cracked, winding through an oppressive silence that felt thick enough to touch. The air itself grew colder as I approached, charged with an energy that had long been dormant in the world of the living.And then I saw it—the chapel.It was a shadow of its former self, standing on the edge of the world, as if forgotten by both man and God. The doors, once grand, now hung ajar, groaning as they protested against the intrusion of time. A sense of foreboding filled the air, thickening with each step I took toward it.I pushed the door open, the rusted hinges screeching in protest, and entered.The chapel was empty, save for the remnants of a faith that had long since abandoned this place. The candles, barely flickering, cast long shadows on the walls. The altar stood broken, cracked stone and stained glass that had lost its color.

  • THE GAMMA'S DAUGHTER    A failed scheme

    The moment I stepped through the door, the air shifted. It wasn’t just colder—it was heavier, charged with something ancient and unseen. The dim candlelight behind me flickered once before vanishing, swallowed by the thick, unnatural darkness stretching before me. The scent of old parchment and damp stone filled my lungs as I moved forward, my steps echoing against the unseen walls. My eyes adjusted to the shadows, though there was little to see. A narrow corridor stretched ahead, leading deeper into whatever cursed place Zvor-Arok had hidden The Knowledge. I didn’t hesitate. The door behind me sealed shut with a quiet thud, but I didn’t turn back. I had no intention of retreating. Then, a voice. Soft. Feminine. But it wasn’t Zvor-Arok’s. "You shouldn’t be here."I stopped. My fingers twitched at my sides, ready for an attack. "Who’s there?" I demanded, my voice steady. Silence. A trick, then. I wasn’t foolish enough to be rattled by whispers in the dark. I continu

    I walked in behind her, my steps measured, but steady. The woman in front of me seemed to hold herself together with sheer force of will. Yet, despite her composed appearance, I could sense the faint tremor of her nerves. She hadn’t expected this. That much was obvious. She had been guarding something she didn’t understand, and now, as she led me deeper into the unknown, her fear was becoming palpable. It lingered in the air between us, thickening with every step. The corridor grew narrower as we moved forward, the walls lined with stone that seemed to absorb the light, making the passage darker with each moment. The woman began to cough, the sound harsh in the stillness. Her breath quickened, and she clutched her chest, as if the air itself was becoming too heavy for her to breathe.I didn’t pause. I didn’t care about her discomfort. Elysia would be waiting for me back home. I had no intention of wasting time here, nor did I care for whatever mystery this place held. I had come

    Elysia,Elaine, an office worker, had moved into a small cottage nearby. Although it raised many questions, I decided not to dwell on it. People here had no idea about our true identity. As I poured coffee into her cup, her voice filled the room with an endless stream of conversation. She seemed talkative, but I listened patiently, keeping my responses minimal. “Mommy! Mommy, I’m done with my homework!” A bright voice interrupted Elaine, and I turned just in time to see Ruby dashing out of her room, her small feet tapping against the floor. She ran toward me, excitement shining in her crimson eyes, and without hesitation, jumped into my arms. “Slowly!” I chuckled as I caught her effortlessly, wrapping her in a firm but gentle embrace. She grinned, holding up her notebook proudly. “Look at this! I finished my homework!” I took a quick glance at her work before placing a kiss on her forehead. “You did great, sweetheart.” Elaine’s eyes widened slightly as she observed Ruby.

    Hades,"You… you are the Vampire King!" The woman’s voice trembled slightly, a mixture of disbelief and awe flickering in her widened eyes. She took a step back, her gaze darting across my form as I shifted into my true appearance. "Why are you here for an incomplete book instead of staying in your own realm?" she asked, her tone carrying a hint of judgment. I barely spared her a glance. "I don’t think I owe you an explanation." Without hesitation, I reached down and lifted the creature off the ground as though it weighed nothing. It dangled helplessly in my grip, its body limp, its form flickering between human and something else. The woman’s expression darkened for an instant before she snapped her fingers. Immediately, the room around us shifted—candles flared to life, their flames flickering with an eerie glow, while ancient lamps along the walls bathed the space in a dim golden light. Shadows danced across the stone floor, stretching and shifting as if they were alive

    The moment the burning pain seared through my neck, I knew something had happened to Elysia. It wasn’t a normal discomfort—it was a visceral, gut-wrenching sensation, like something had ripped through the bond that connected us. My chest tightened as my instincts roared in warning. I turned sharply to the shape-shifter, who was still staring at me with wide, confused eyes. "Follow me. Now." My voice left no room for hesitation. He nodded quickly, sensing the urgency in my tone. I didn’t spare Claire another glance. She might have been lying about her identity, but right now, she was the least of my concerns. Without wasting another second, I summoned my powers, reaching into the void of darkness. The air around me crackled as shadows coiled at my feet, stretching and twisting like living entities. Then, with a sharp command, the shadows expanded, engulfing both me and the shape-shifter. The world around us blurred. Then, in a heartbeat, we were gone. ---The moment I mater

    Ruby,Dragons are intelligent creatures. Mommy told me that. Our brains develop faster than any other species. We learn things quickly—how to speak, how to understand, how to protect. But the most important thing dragons know is that we must do anything to protect our mothers and children. Mommy said I was born six months ago, but I was with my birth mother for a long time before that. My brain grew faster than my body, but I was still a baby. I was studying every day to understand my Mommy better. Mommy said studying would help me grow up faster, and I wanted to grow up soon. I wanted to be big and strong so I could protect Mommy forever. Today, a lady came to our house. She talked a lot, too much. Mommy looked uncomfortable with her. She didn’t like the lady, but she was kind. She listened and stayed patient. Mommy was a good Mommy. She never hurt people unless they were bad. But something was strange. Usually, I could smell everything—blood, food, even the change in people’s

    Elysia,The distinct bitterness of oleander still lingered in my mouth, coating my senses with its deadly essence. It was the second poison I had recognized, almost immediately after the first. Oleander was ruthless—it weakened the heart, slowly breaking down its strength until it faltered completely. Heart attacks, heart failure, an excruciating end that left no room for recovery. Yet, I was still here. Maybe my father had been right when he claimed we were immortal, something beyond the reach of death’s cruel grasp. But I didn’t feel that way. I could sense it in my chest—the way my heart struggled, the faint numbness creeping through my veins. I felt weaker, more fragile than ever before. But I wasn’t afraid. Hades knelt beside me, his hands steady but his expression filled with concern as he finished treating my wound. He was a strong healer, one of the best, and I could no longer feel the sharp sting in my stomach. The pain had disappeared under his careful touch, leaving b

    Hades, The night air was quiet as we stepped into the manor, but the stillness did little to soothe the storm brewing within me. Elysia walked beside me, her expression unreadable yet beautiful in the low candlelight. She hadn’t said much since we left the ballroom, but her silence wasn’t emptiness—it was concentration. Her mind worked like mine. Both of us were thinking of the Book Knowledge and the parts we had recovered.We reached the chamber where the pieces were laid out—ten fragments of ancient parchment, each humming with a soft, otherworldly pulse. Elysia closed the door behind us and stepped into the circle they formed.“Tonight,” she said, her voice quiet but firm, “we find out what they were hiding.”I nodded once. “Are you ready?”She glanced at me, her eyes a reflection of fire and shadows. “Always.”Together, we began the invocation. The symbols etched into the floor around the parchment glowed faintly as Elysia spoke in the old tongue, her voice a melody lost to time.

    "Commander Celeriac! Are you openly declaring your betrayal towards the Pack by choosing the Alpha of our enemy team?"The voice cut through the hall, sharp and composed, commanding attention without a single hint of desperation.I turned slowly, my heels clicking against the polished marble floor, to find her standing there — Former Luna Astoria.She stood atop the grand staircase, her posture regal, wrapped in deep green silk that shimmered under the chandelier light. Her silver hair was pinned in an elaborate braid, every detail of her appearance crafted to project power and poise. Yet beneath the surface, her presence was far more dangerous — cold calculation masked behind a veneer of grace.Astoria’s lips curved into a polite smile, but her eyes, sharp and unyielding, locked onto mine like a hawk sizing up its prey.The hall fell into silence, every eye turning to watch.She hadn't spoken out of anger. This was no reckless confrontation. It was a performance — precise, deliberate

    The night of the party arrived faster than I expected.Standing before the full-length mirror, I smoothed my hands over the deep emerald silk of my gown. The dress clung to my figure like liquid velvet, shimmering under the soft lights. A slit ran high along my thigh, and the neckline dipped just enough to hint at daring without losing elegance. Around my neck, the two stones—one gold, one silver—rested, catching the light with every breath I took."You look..." Hades' voice trailed off behind me, full of wonder and something much heavier, much deeper.I turned to find him standing in the doorway, dressed in a black tailored suit that looked like it was made for sin. His dark hair was pushed back, revealing sharp cheekbones and those burning crimson eyes that locked onto me with raw hunger.Despite knowing that Hades would stir some commotion, we decided to go together for the best. We would see what happened. And Hades had been acting so weird. His jealousy was reaching the top. My

    "I can't believe you have two stones now. Look at you... your hair looks ethereal," Grandma Aurora whispered, brushing her fingers delicately through my hair as if afraid I would vanish at any moment.Her touch was warm, filled with a tenderness I had craved for so long. A soft laugh escaped me as I caught the awe in her shimmering silver eyes. Somehow, even with the world around us changing, she remained my constant.I had been genuinely surprised when they recognized me so quickly after my transformation. Later, I found out Hades had sneakily taken a photo of me and sent it to my father, unable to contain his pride and concern. It seemed while I was away on my mission, bonds had tightened in my absence. Hades and my father… they looked almost like father and son now, sharing an understanding that went deeper than words."Master was worried about you. You should have told everyone," Grandma Aurora began, her voice soft but carrying a hint of reprimand. "But then again... I can't blam

  • THE GAMMA'S DAUGHTER    Returning home

    When I woke up, I was already in the human world. Ruby had been staying with my father, Gamma Celeriac, while I recovered. We left the house shortly after my awakening, accompanied by Carlos and Hades. From Carlos, I learned that Jonathan was still the Alpha. I could not hide my disappointment. My father had been waiting for me, he said. But I did not understand. Why wait? Why not simply overthrow Jonathan? Dad could have easily dealt with him.As those thoughts clouded my mind, Hades leaned toward me, breaking my silent brooding."What's with that long face?" he asked, his voice unusually gentle. Sitting inside the private plane, I couldn't seem to pull myself away from the haunting memory of my interaction with the Moon Goddess."Nothing!" I chirped, forcing a smile as I tilted my head to the side. In a desperate attempt to lighten the mood, I teased, "Did you lose weight? Your waistcoat looks loose!" My fingers lightly trailed down his chest, feeling the hard lines of muscle hidde

    My body felt light, like feathers drifting in a slow, timeless dance. I found myself standing barefoot on the soft, cool sand, the wind weaving its invisible fingers through my hair, lifting the strands like whispers. The air carried a faint scent of something sweet — like a meadow far away — and each breath I took was like tasting serenity itself. Everything around me felt still. Frozen in an endless, perfect moment.My heart was... calm. Quiet. Almost unnaturally so. I couldn’t feel pain. I couldn’t feel longing. I couldn’t miss anything or wish for anything. It was just me. Me and this strange, unbroken peace, weaving around my very soul like a lullaby.There were no memories pressing on my chest. No noises tearing through my thoughts. Just pure calmness.And then, through the gentle hum of silence, came a voice — soft, familiar, and warm like a blanket on a cold night."Elysia," it called.I turned without thinking. And there she was.She stood just beside me, her presen

    "My father said…" The leader of the Wizards stood tall, his pale face tilted upward with arrogance, as though the world itself were beneath his feet. His voice echoed with a tone that sliced through the tension in the air, sharp and unsettling. "Witches are the hunters of Wolves and Vampires. The most thrilling moment of a wizard’s life is to make a stew from their blood… and drink them." He chuckled, a slow, rotten sound that sent a ripple of discomfort across our group. His sunken eyes scanned us, predatory and gleaming with amusement. "But those who dare to be arrogant," he paused, dragging each word like a blade across flesh, "should be bestowed with cruel, harsh deaths. Including…" He stepped forward, and that’s when we noticed the limp. A wooden cane revealed itself from beneath his flowing black robes, the intricate carvings glowing faintly with runes older than memory. Before I could react, Hades wrapped an arm around my waist and launched us backward with a powerful jump.

    I was stunned when he said it.His voice had been quiet, almost hesitant, but the weight of his words struck me like a storm breaking over calm waters.He knew. He knew about my second chance at life.That impossible secret I had buried deep inside me, locked beneath layers of silence and fear—he had just spoken it aloud like it was nothing. Like it was normal. Like it didn’t change everything.I wanted to ask how. I wanted to understand. But I couldn’t focus on him anymore.Because the Dark Stone was pulsing in my hand.A deep, thrumming beat—slow and relentless. It wasn’t just a stone. It felt alive. And with every passing second, it dug deeper, pressing its will into my skin, into my blood, until I could feel it crawling through my veins like smoke made of shadow.It whispered to me."Power. Corruption. Madness."The words slithered through my thoughts like snakes, coiling tightly around the parts of me I didn’t want to acknowledge—the anger, the grief, the desperation. It knew who

    Elysia,The moment the figure stepped into the moonless clearing, I knew we weren’t alone. Something ancient stirred in the shadows—its hunger palpable, its gaze unseen but heavy on my skin.I tightened my hold on Hades, but my eyes remained ahead, locked on the figure cloaked in midnight. Around us, the darkness pulsed with unnatural rhythm, and one by one, more emerged—cloaked beings, their hands already crackling with magic.Wizards. No... sorcerers. Old ones.They formed a circle, trapping us in a ring of glowing runes etched into the ground. Their faces were hidden beneath deep hoods, but I could feel their magic thrumming like a war drum—primordial, malicious.The sky was darker than we remembered.. The lightning was displaying like a hired actor in the distance. Hades bared his fangs, his eyes glowing crimson with fury as his wings spread wide behind him. The air turned colder with every breath he took, shadows rippling outward from his feet.“We’re surrounded,” I muttered, st
