Zula'an had entered the world of void where his mind, strength and weakness were being tested.

He meditated, fought his darkness, cultivated his abilities and searched his flaws. As he drank of the up-flowing waters, it was revealed to him, the future regarding his reign, the dangers ahead.

In one of the revelation, he saw Dahlia's death. She was stabbed by a flamming sword.

The thought of seeing her hurt troubled him greatly that he could no longer focus on what was ahead of him.

He tried to resist the thoughts as they were his deepest weakness. Only when he survived this tests and come back victoriously, could he truly protect her from whatever it was that he saw.

Still, the thoughts persisted, haunting and testing his limits. Sensing this would happen, he had meditated for a long time to clear his mind of her; now, it was all back in a flash.

  • THE NIGHT ROAMER : Dah'ila Reborn   THE GENESIS

    It all began in the heavens, with total darkness. Then, a flick of light appeared revealing a tiny magical flower possessing life and great powers. Every season, it blossoms and sheds; breeding gods of different abilities. Until one day it bore a wind force. That was the beginning of evil. To curb the great evil gone rogue, another greater god emerged, born of the same flower that held the universe up on its feet and gave it, it's form. History called him “The sick god”. His internal energy was too much that it made him sick and he searched for what to create to relieve himself. He made the magical kingdom of kings; from two third of his powers still, he could not help himself. He needed love to make him complete. Off he wandered to the nearest inhabitant planet where he met smaller gods seeking shelter from the wind force; an evil seeking to devour the soul. To all the planets he saved, he gathered together; they made up the kingdom of kings and he ruled them. Years after the ki

    On earth, he gained fame, wealth and all one could ever need to lead a happy life. But he was angry, shattered and torn. He kept himself isolated in the dark. He is the night roamer, protector of earth and the beloved idol of millions. PRESENTLY“Wake up! It’s your first day at work, better don’t be late!” Katy yelled, bringing the alarm close to her ear. Lia pushed her aside and stands up sluggishly, dragging her feet as she heads to the bathroom. “Cold water again?” She murmured as she pushed the shower button. She got admitted into the university last week; she knew she needed money to make it work. Two days ago, she got a job from one of the job sites she stumbled upon as a house keeper. She was selected, interviewed, and followed by the resumption date, Monday, eight o'clock am.As the shower flushed down the soapy foams on her hair, so many thoughts ran through her mind like what to wear, what to do with her hair, and all the girls stuff. As she contemplated, Katy’s voice br

    It was a bright and sunny morning. The entire school yard blazed with noises and busy feet of people, finding their ways to their deal of the day. Some engaged in different sporting activities, while others piled up in different corners having fun. Lia made her way to class, selecting her footsteps timidly as she walked. She could tell all eyes were scanning oddly at her, as she wandered confusedly from one school building to another, looking for the DEAN's office in-between building which looked pretty much alike. Everything seemed quite different from high school, only a few persons noticed the new girl in class. After few days of studying the environment, she noticed there were four categories of people in the school “The rude guys, the rich guys, the popular guys and the quiet guys" often referred to as the scapegoat. “Really, things aren't too different from high school after all, just some few matured faces and things done a little bit in an advanced way” she thought with a

    As she walks into class, the strange guy of few days ago was seated not too far from the window. Of course, that was his regular position. She tried not to look and pretend he wasn't there at all, at least for once in her life. But her eyes would not cooperate, she failed herself as her eyes were constantly drifting and lurking around him, paying attention to every details about him. When she accidentally made eye contact with him, she shivered with fright and averted her gaze as fast as she could. But the weird feelings in her heart were not exempted from this, It was as if time froze, trapping her in the ensnarement of those cold and ruthless eyes of his, like a spell.In as much as she wanted to retain the beautiful memory of their eye contact locked in her head, she could vividly remember the dangers she saw in those eyes. That one contact, yet it was so piercing and domineering, like he intends to push her into his submission with those stares.“He is always staring at me, but

    She shopped for some Allium bulbs, coupled with some other necessary stuffs to ward off the malicious auras, hovering all about the mansion. As she hesitates, looking for more useful things to buy, she stumbles upon a woman with red hair and awkward looks. Without difficulties, one could tell from her tattered appearance that she was ....! Lia paused and stared at the woman, looking for the best word to categorize her, Insane or weird wouldn't be too much to call her. She quickly apologizes for the collision, and was about to proceed her way, when the weird and tattered woman grabs on to her wrist. Then, leans in and whispers something to Lia."Do you think this meeting was a coincidence?" She asks unexpectedly. Without waiting for Lia's response, she answers her own question. "No, it is not! It couldn't be, for nothing happens out of the ordinary! The path which you must follow has been predetermined, as well as this fated meeting which has been mapped out today. But do not fret

    The next day after school, she snuck into the mansion and opens the door, even if her key card fell from her a couple of times, because of her trembling hands. Walking into the kitchen, she patrolled around it quietly, waiting for the anticipated ghost to make an entrance. As she did this, she blended the garlic and sprinkled it all over the windows and doors. She did not forget to toss some bulbs into the tall flowers and the fields. There after, she sits confidently and awaits the result, with her focus fixed on the restricted areas. But after thirty minutes of waiting in futility, she couldn't help but laugh at her silly self. What was she even doing? Could she be able to fish out a ghost or a demon with just some few bulbs of garlic and a gas spray? She thought, stuck in the middle of her fruitless plan, not knowing whether to continue or abort. "Maybe Katy was right, i am the one being weird here. Engaging in a battle with nothing but the other silly, scared me; is a glaring s

    A shivering feeling clouded her all through the day. There were a lot of questions she had no answers to, like why she was only seeing him for the first time since she worked in the mansion, and why he was so gorgeous, representing everything beautiful, but sadly indifferent. She wanders far away in thought, with her expressions boldly evident on her face.“Miss Michaelson? Explain to us the meaning of lithosphere?” Mr Cobbler's voice echoed, knowing fully well that her mind was far from the class.“Ahm… Me?” she asks, pointing back at herself. The entire class nosily fixed their gaze on her, making her flash out an awkward smile. Her legs trembled from beneath her seat as many anticipating eyes scans at her impatiently. She had just gathered the courage to speak when the strange guy walks into the class, making the whole situation more complicated than it was. Two things were involved; she had to either gather her guts to surf through the situation by answering the question, o

    She dreamt of that endless moment of having him by her side when she wakes up. Fluttering her open, he was gone, like he wasn't there in the first place. She recalled how they made love. His scent persisted all over the room. The thought of it endlessly interfered with her present reasoning, but she didn't seem to care.She leaps on her bed excitedly, and constantly Pats her hands on her reddened cheek. The rest of the day seemed hopeful, he had promised to be back in a while. As time rolled by, boredom slowly crept it's way into her. On earth, she had places to go, like the movies. But out here, She had no one to mingle with. Her supposedly little sister would do anything in her power to see her gone forever.She paced to and fro, trying to get busy. She opened the door to her room and closed it. She did that over and over again, until she got bored and moved on to the next plaything she could find. She approached an object which seemed like a large mirror, and peered closely at

    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.

'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?

    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.

    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

    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

They looked like teenagers, young and fragile looking. Liam was most surprise why they all had to wake up without being called upon. And Lia, she hid behind him, engulfed with fear although they seemed too harmless. Liam immediately bowed his head to the ground, along side Lia who hurriedly did the same. One of the kings stepped forward and urged him to rise. They conversed in strange languages, all staring at the unfamiliar woman with him.She also noticed something strange, they talked with such a loud voice, yet their mouths do not move?
