THE NIGHT ROAMER : Dah'ila Reborn BRIGHT BLINDING LIGHT
Katy and Lia walks into the grocery store to pick a few items. Trailing to the right, she caught sight of a familiar face and goes ahead to confirm. To her wonderment, it was Liam holding some couple of fresh tomato paste and some other food items which was held together with a paper bag."Now I know where the groceries come from!" She said inwardly, and approached him with a smile. "Yesterday, you disappeared before I could even bring you some tea, Sir!" She added trying to sound formal. But he insists she do not draw unnecessary attentions with her formalities. "I didn't disappear, I just thought it was insensible sitting all by myself in drenched clothes" He replied."You know, you could have avoided that if you had just stopped by the doorway" She shrugged."I would have avoided a lot of things if I hadn't seen you at all that day, or attempted to persuade you a million times over to climb into the car" She paused and pondered over his tactical way of attending to words. He wa
THE NIGHT ROAMER : Dah'ila Reborn THE PERFECT OPTION
She hurriedly prepares dinner and served. As there was not much to do, she picked her stuffs together, and paced while waiting for the rain to subside. Although there were luxurious rooms available for her to stay for the night, but she didn’t want to spend the night at the mansion for any reason whatsoever. She glanced at her watch and saw that it was six o'clock pm. A long weary sigh escaped her lips as she stands, gawking outside the window in eagerness. This was the longest time she has ever spent at the mansion."Come on, Stop already!" She murmured as she paced to and fro.“Don’t even think about it! Diving into this rain in the name of going home is not the perfect option” He said from behind startling her. She gasped and jumped in fright, holding on her chest in a bid to catch her unsteady breath. He had that sneaky habit of appearing and disappearing when she least expects it. She was sure he does that intentionally to see her reactions, maybe? It was glaring that he lov
THE NIGHT ROAMER : Dah'ila Reborn RISING RAGE
The shattered glasses lay on the floor beside the overturned stool, while they just stood, gawking at everything to divert their minds from the thoughts of the previous incident. Without thinking much, she made an involuntary attempt to gather the glasses with her bare hands, but he grabs her wrist, suspending her hand midway to the floor."In situations like this, you employ the use of the mechanoid. It can attend to basic tasks as this. All you have to do is just instruct it!" He protests. She nods and clears her throat, before retreating from him to get the mechanoid. The silence created an uneasy atmosphere, as he sought for things to do, so as to return to his original state of mind. As the mechanoid took care of the shattered glasses, she clears her throat, summed up the courage and walks up to him.“I think the rain has finally subsided. I might not get this chance ever again!” she said gauchely.“What chance?” He impatiently asked, thinking she understood his emotions towa
THE NIGHT ROAMER : Dah'ila Reborn LIKE A DREAM
Although she did fancy the rain and the feelings it gave to her, but conversing with him also ignited a kind of feeling in her heart. Every exchange of words between them, made her wonder if he was initially trapped in his own mind, waiting to break free with every opportunity he could find. "Since you find nature attractive you might love what am about to show you. But you must promise to veil your eyes, it’s my secret place” He brings out a blindfold and hands it to her.She anxiously follows him after wearing the blindfold, as he leads her to a certain distance, directing her every movement and turns until he urged her to open her eyes. When she did, what she saw left her frozen in bewilderment. She stared in awe, at the beautiful scenery before her. It was mind boggling and the best thing she has ever seen. "This park is breathtaking!" She gasped with surprise at the natural view in front of her. The rain dripped, falling on the leaves, and magnifying the beauty of the cloudy
THE NIGHT ROAMER : Dah'ila Reborn SCREAMS AND ROARS
While on the rooftops of skyscrapers guarding the world, he thought of the event that transpired between them. Just when he had planned to make the night a perfect one for both of them, he screwed it. Inasmuch as he wanted to criticize himself, he saw reasons for leaving at that point in time. It was his duty after all as the vigilante of earth to attend to all those screams and roars ringing in his ears every passing moment. But he blamed himself for the approach he used, he ruined his happiness as well as hers. He was dumb after all, like she said. Few minutes after he has calmed the roars, he came back hoping to find her still awake and perhaps make up for his messy attitude. But he found her asleep on the bamboo couch after her futile attempts to find her way back to the mansion. She has revolved endlessly at the small garden and gave up. He sits close to her. Lifting her head gently, he placed it on his laps.“Am sorry I couldn’t give you the goodnight you deserved" He stroked he
THE NIGHT ROAMER : Dah'ila Reborn A COMPLETE DAZE
She wakes up to the sound of voices conversing besdide her bed. She could tell one was Liam, but the other was unfamiliar. Gradually, she opened her eyes and met his gaze."I think she's awake" He tells the man with him, who was dressed casually with a stethoscope around his next. He gently pats on her forehead and nods to Liam to indicate that she was okay.Lia sits up on the bed, and scans the room suspiciously. Luckily it wasn't his. She sighs in relief.After the doctor walks out of the room, she curiously asked."What is wrong with me?" "Yesterday you fainted. The doctor said it's from stress and too much exposure to cold condition. For the meantime, you will have to cut down on the work load" He replies.Lia huffs, cutting down on her workload meant not having enough money to shoulder her bills. She immediately stands up from the bed and jumps healthily."I'm feeling okay now. Working will not be a problem for me" She tries to convince him. "Your stubbornness will eventually k
THE NIGHT ROAMER : Dah'ila Reborn REBORN AS IMMORTALITY
“Am sorry!” he clears his throat and pulls away too. “You were about to remove the spider right?” He asked.“Yes of course" She flashed out a short awkward smile. They knew they missed a rare coming opportunity, yet they pretended they never cared and avoided each other’s gaze. He thought of something to say to break the awkward silence that lingered.“Let’s not sit here, we did not get our asses stuck in the car for twelve minutes just to sit. Let’s explore the woods” He suggests.Without hesitation, they set out into the wood.“How often do you come here?” she asked as they walked.“It is my second time of coming here. The first time was to dispose the corpses of the people I murdered” He simply answered with an intention of creating a shuddering atmosphere that would scare her.She looks around frantically before finally grasping his intention of scaring her. “So you don’t know these woods very well, I take it?” She asked again with her brows raised questioningly.“No!” he simply
THE NIGHT ROAMER : Dah'ila Reborn GOD REALM
Just then, an idea crossed his mind. He know nothing about her, but was sure the creators would.“Through the creators, I would be able to figure out the mysteries behind her origin” He resolved. Striping off his mortal body, he transformed into his godly appearance, exposing his kingly robe and his body glittered as the sun. He gently lifted up his hand and faded into the air. God RealmThe excitement of being home enveloped his mind as he glided across the heaven’s gate. He inhaled the sweet scent of home and a smile of satisfaction sparkled in his eyes. He has missed his home, the views, the people. The memories were still fresh in his head, just like yesterday. Nothing changed, just him. He was happier and in love. The kingdom could sense the presence of their long gone heir. The children gathered to witness for themselves, the great prince whom the stories were told to them by their parents.

She couldn't help but wonder what she did wrong to have deserved the cruel fate of death."Maybe i should stop now" She thought. Before she could think further, tears streaked down her cheek. "Why didn't you warn me of your father's plans? Would you have had me die before you do?" Lia asked rhetorically. Still she thought it was for the best, maybe he didn't want her to feel insecure and haunted."Dahlia?" A gentle voice called from behind. She turned to see the queen standing close to her. Building up her confidence, she tried to suppress the tears and pretend nothing was wrong, but her confidence failed, her tears ran even more.

THE NIGHT ROAMER : Dah'ila Reborn ONE BIG MYSTERY

THE NIGHT ROAMER : Dah'ila Reborn THIS STRANGE STORY
Walking into the queen's chamber, she tried to lighten up her countenance to avoid suspicions, but she could only hide her expression, not her heart."You sent for me, my queen!" Zaiya bowed with her face to the ground. The queen urged her to rise immediately."I have watched you grow as a child under my care. You were nurtured as a royal born and have always dinned from the table of royals since childhood. Such privilege and favour can only be given to a child of my own blood" She paused for a while, studying Zaiya's face carefully."Thank you for your immeasurable kindness, My queen. You have bestowed such great honour on me since birth. I shall continue to be a humble fealty to the throne as long as i live" Zaiya bowed again"I presume you know your fate child? Every immortal does" Zaiya nods in affirmation."What if I change your fate? You know it's not too difficult for me, I'm the fates queen""As a child, I was born with the fate of steel and bloodbath. Meaning I was destine

"I might as well give you a trophy" He raised her up on his shoulders and sat her up on the floor. 'This is a resumption from were we abruptly stopped before, my lady" He lustfully gazed into her eyes for a while and continued. "I want to have you so badly" he whispered into her ears. She was stiff and had her eyes fixed on a particular position. He trailed her eyes to see the queen standing a little distant away from them. She cleared he throat and looked away like she saw nothing."I hope am not interrupting anything?" But that was not his concern, whether she was interfering, he wanted to know if she saw or heard anything, he embarrassingly asked."Di... did you hear anything?""Even a deaf man could hear that" she mocked intentionally, gesturing her maids to leave them alone. 'But am not here for you' she turned to Lia who tried to smile to curtail the embarrassing situation. "I guess the prince must have told you about the occasion by tomorrow's noon? I know just the right outfi
THE NIGHT ROAMER : Dah'ila Reborn QUASI COURTESY
Liam stood by the edge of the snow bridge, it was his favourite spot were he sought rest whenever he was in a melancholic state of mind. As she approached him, just a few step away from him, a feeling of alacrity rushed over him prompting a bright welcoming smile. "How did you know I was here?" He asked, surprisedly."The queen was worried. She sent me here""I was just fed up watching the pretense. Am sure am not the only one fooled by that quasi courtesy of hers""You let your anger ruin my first royal dinner, how are you going to make up for that?" Lia asked with a fake frown. He brushed a stray wisp of her hair aside and looked into her eyes playfully."How about I kiss you, that would do the magic right?" "I wouldn't know that. What if they execute me for making out with prince charming by the road side" He laughed briefly and stopped to gawk into her eyes."I'm really glad you are here with me" He leaned in to her kiss her, but stopped abruptly. "Someone is watching" he wh
THE NIGHT ROAMER : Dah'ila Reborn NO PEACE, BUT WAR
The whole kingdom were gathered to celebrate the return of the prince. On the high tables were seated Zula'an and his father."The ladies seems to be far from this fine celebration" The king said, trying to start up a conversion with him. He looked way with cold indifference. His last conversion with his father proved fruitless. "Your mother and i think we should give you a chance, I believe you will make the right choice""That is so generous of you, My king!" The tone of his voice seemed rather unbelieving and mocking. He knew his father, the king would never let her be. He never cared for his feelings. He could spell out his father's character simply by looking at him. For a moment, he thought he did saw an element of care in them, Or rather, his mother's inflicted element of care. He still didn't care. In his heart, he was just a man who has never cared about his opinion. Too bad, all his life he has looked up to him, trying to follow the footstep of the great king until the
THE NIGHT ROAMER : Dah'ila Reborn A FINE GENERAL
For a moment he regretted ever bringing her to the kingdom"We were happy before I brought her here to face all this humiliation" he clinched his fist with a bitter expression."I have seen the mortal to her chamber. She seems smart and preceptive. Something tells me she would make a great queen someday" The queen smiled, walking towards him. She was shocked to notice his expression which had a touch of both anger, sadness and frustration. She thought of something to calm his fears and worries. It was her worries too. She could feel them like a sharp blade pierced into her marrows. That was her greatest gift and curse as the fate's queen, to see and feel the pain and tragic end and also joy of others even when they do not feel it. She also was the goddess of love, so loving was inevitable. Tightening her arms around him, she whispered something into his ears."I have to tell you this, even if your father will hate me for it. I can't stand to see you like this after seeing those sm
