"Who are you?" A manly voice trailed off Evandros from his thoughts. He slowly turned his head to the left side and saw a middle-aged man or maybe around his father's age, inclining against the outside pillar of the manor.He fully turned towards the man, observing him from head to toe. He looked like a normal villager but didn't have a commoner's face. His skin was tan and he was handsome. Evandros remained silent. The man narrowed his eyes at the young man when he heard no response from him."I asked you something, young man?" The man said and stood up straight, unhurriedly strolling towards Evandros and pausing when only an arm difference was left between them."I'm someone related to this extinct family." Evandros declared and the man halted. His pupils enlarged and he abruptly stepped back, eyeing Evandros very keenly from head to toe."Y-You...you are Jasmine's son?" The man asked, making Evan shocked. How did he know, was he someone who knows his mother? The man seemed incredi
Inside he saw a woman sitting. Her hair was almost white, she was staring out of the window as her head was turned to the left side, so he couldn't have a clear look at her face. For some reason, his heart was beating very fast. He gradually walked towards her and paused in front of the table, looking down at her sitting on the buffer. His tall shadow easily covered her body.The woman slowly looked up at him, his pupils shrinking when he finally had a glimpse of her. She...she looked so much like his mother. Although her hair was white her face wasn't wrinkled enough to be called old. He stared at her aghast.The woman eyed him from head to toe before ushering him to sit on the buffer beneath him with a small smile on her face. Her eyes watched his every movement. He settled down on the buffer and looked at the woman before he swiftly had a look at his surroundings.It wasn't a room. Maybe, this is the place where she meets people. There was nothing in the room other than a cupboard
*Next day* Evandros stood under the veranda of the manor, gazing outside at the people. Kids running everywhere with grown-ups irritatingly scolding them to stay still. He still had a cloth wrapped around his face but his long black hair was open as it swayed in the breeze. He had no intention of staying here so he brought nothing with him other than money. This morning his aunt gave him a maroon robe with black embroidery on it. He has a black belt wrapped around his strong waist, black gloves along with long black boots.His eyes narrowed when he found a couple of kids running around him, trying to catch each other and unconsciously pulling on his robe. He slowly gazed down at them and the kids froze, feeling shivers running down their spines for some reason until they looked up. They jumped and swiftly drew back, sprinting away from him almost weeping.He frowned upon seeing their behavior.He didn't do anything...no maybe he glared at them.He just scowled and they got frightene
A blind woman with green hues.Evandros stilled for a second. He stared at her and kept gaping at her until her unclear gaze diverted toward his silhouette. Her eyes narrowed as she tried to take in the feature of the person standing before her. Without a word, she stood up with the kid still in her arms and slightly bowed at both of them."Drop the honorifics already," Sina said politely. Before the woman could say something a bunch of young maidens surrounded the stall. Sina quickly gestured for Neel to come over to her. The kid scowled and looked at the woman. He grabbed her clothed cheeks and smooched her clothed cheek before she slowly let the boy down, turning towards her customers. Neel walked into Sina's arm as the woman turned around to leave but halted when she noticed her nephew still in his position. His dark black orbs fixated on the woman. She looked at the woman before looking back at him, nudging his arm to bring him back to his senses. He absentmindedly turned to fa
MEGARA DAYBRACEFate it is.What is fate to be exact?Your destiny is written by god. Destiny can be altered as well.Just like instead of perishing that day, she somehow survived the tragedy.How did she manage to prevail? Who conserved her? She doesn't know. She knows nothing. All she knows is that she found herself lying in an unfamiliar grove near the mountain of honor.Her bleeding wound was dressed.Does she have any hazy remembrance of who saved her? Yes, she does.It was an individual in white.Man or woman? She doesn't know. All she knows is that it was an individual in white. She unhurriedly stood up once she gained consciousness. Taking the tree as a support she swiftly looked around the area. Her pupils shrank as she quickly rubbed her eyes only to realize that she had lost more than half of her sight. Which only indicated one thing.Just god knows how she ended up in this village but looks like whoever saved her wanted her to find shelter here. Days later, she found s
When she came back to her senses she realized that person was on top of her.She was out of energy and there was no way she could battle this demon. Maybe, this time it's her end. Instead of fighting back, she rested her hand on the ground, gripping the dust beneath in her hand. Waiting for demise to greet her but what she felt next was a cold hand in this hot weather.That hand was touching her right cheek. Her green hues aimlessly tried to have a look at his face since he was pretty close, and she realized he was wearing a mask like her. The person was extremely quiet and he was caressing her with an odd affection.Is he a deviant?Her eyes narrowed and the next thing she did was to throw the dust in her hands in his eyes. A grunt left his lips and he abruptly shifted away from her. With that single loss of grip, she exempted herself and flew away like a lightning knowing well that she can't fight him and he was in no spirit to slaughter her but to have her. What kind of a demon it
What does it take to be a good person? Nothing...that's what people say but to her it's different.To her...being nice in a world like this takes away everything.Megara caressed the table in front of her. She was in the guest room of the house which was given to her for her stay. She couldn't have a clear look at the room but she tried to take in as much as she could. There was a single bed between the room and a long mirror inclined against the wall in the corner. She caressed the soft mattress of the bed before sitting on it. The sun was down and the moon was up in the sky. Sina left two hours ago and ever since she left Megara has been running here and there. Right, no work is easy.It's dinner time, she must check if everyone has eaten. With that in mind, she got up and strolled out of the room with her bamboo stick. She was being extra prudent since there were children here but oh why was she concerned about such a thing? She has a small guard beside her who is always lurking
What day was it?Where was she?She didn't know anything when she first trekked into the village between the mountain of honor and her blindness was making things nastier for her. Those days were one of the worst days of her life. After going through all of that, she tried to kill herself but ended up enduring somehow. Then she found herself in an unfamiliar village, all of that aside the worst part was that half of her spiritual core was eradicated.And after all of that when she finally soothed down a little, she unexpectedly started sensing his existence around her. First, she felt it that day, then yesterday, and today the whole day she kept feeling like someone was staring at her.Of course, people were looking at her but that feeling of being continuously watched was different. Though Sina's nephew gives her strange vibes she is not sure that he was staring at her because as far as she knows he didn't leave his room today either.While standing near the window of her guest room
