"Evandros," Megara yelled in a panic state when she saw him running away. Her grip constricted on the hilt of her sword. She knew this day would come but never anticipated it to come this soon. He is not yet prepared for these hostile black lashes. He is too delicate for them.A 'tsk' escaped her lips as she was about to proceed after him but Marco held her wrist, pulling her back. She turned to look at him and found him shaking his head. "Don't. First, complete your task." He said and Megara passed him a narrow gaze. "No, he must be so scared. I'm pretty sure he needs someone besides him." She said with concern dripping with each word of hers. She attempted to free her wrist but he constricted his hold. "And are you the only one who should be beside him? Is he your obligation? Don't make him rely on you too much." He said he sounded profound which was very infrequent.But what he said ticked something inside her.He was right but..."Look, I know you are worried about him but you a
By the time they started looking for him, it was already drizzling."Marco, let's look individually for him. It looks like the weather will get worse and we haven't received any news from Evenor. Looks like he isn't in his room." Megara said and Marco nodded before they went separate ways. Megara had her right hand on the hilt of her sword while her left hand was in a tight fist."Evandros." She yelled his name and kept looking for him until the rain had fully drained her and she could barely walk. She was drained of energy and her legs were literally trembling. With a long huff, she paused on her steps and bent down, putting her hands on her knees. She hasn't received any news from anyone which means nobody has found him yet.It is raining heavily and thunder is roaring in the surroundings every now and then. Though it's not past seven the heavy clouds have made the sky look darker, looks like it will rain for a long while. Now, she can't even go back. She can't even use her sword t
From that day onward everything slowly went back to normal. Disciples slowly accepted Evandros but some of them still didn't and those who accepted him, in them there were a few who were still scared of him.Nevertheless, that didn't bother Evandros much because he was always occupied tailing around Megara and smooching her whenever he got the opportunity to. She was literally very much frightened of him because of this and chided him to control himself because she would prohibit him from touching her if he annoys her all the time.This altered his behavior very much.When they went on various missions together, he would try to attack her but would earn a solid smack around his cheek sometimes. Pecking him first has unleashed his demon once and for all.Everything went on and just like that the second phase also went by in which all four of them achieved, going into the third and the last round before the finals. Just as the days of the final started to come closer, Megara's worry k
"You bitch." He rasped and started running towards her at such a speed Megara scarcely got the time to comprehend anything and he was already standing in front of her.Before her arms could prevent herself his hand was just inches away from her head. A curse left Megara's lips as she moved down but he grabbed a fist full of her hair. "Now, for ---ahhhh." The man screamed in distress and let go of her hair. Megara quickly looked up at him and found a dagger piercing through his palm. Her eyes shot up to the rooftop of the houses and there she saw a familiar silhouette standing on one of the rooftops.His robe fluttered in the air along with his long silver hair making him look so majestic and so unreal. Rowan leaped down on the ground and the man cursed under his breath. Without even taking the dagger out of his palm, he leaped up on one of the rooftops and ran away while concealing his face from Rowan. Rowan on the other hand tried to approach him but he was gone from one's sight.
Those disciples who survived including Ozias were taken to the healing chambers. Theodore and Rowan were treated on the spot only. Ezekiel and a few water users successfully subdued the flames from extending. "How absurd!" Theodore rasped and ordered one of his men to request all the higher-ups to gather at the main hall as quickly as possible including the head of the protection department.There was no news from the borders so does that mean the demon was lurking in the shadows of the sect and is still within the shadows, lurking around? If not caught, that vicious thing might attack again but how come that thing even enter the sect in the first place?With so much in mind, all the higher-ups assembled at the main hall. Some doubted Ezekiel because the Diamond Clan was always against them but after learning that he was there all the time, endeavoring to stop the flames, their suspicion vanished in an instant.While they were occupied discussing the issue.On the other hand, Megara
That day, Megara kept herself locked in her room. When Evandros came to check on her, she immediately hid herself in the washing chamber and pretended that she was taking a bath. She stayed there as long as it took for him to go back. Once he was gone, Megara took a deep shaky breath of relief before stripping off her robe and Sarashi.She deep buried her body in an extremely cold water tub and remained in it for so long that the skin of her fingers and toes started to have wrinkles. Her body turned cold along with the water but she didn't step out. The back of her head rested on the edge of the tub as her lifeless eyes stared up at the wooden ceiling.She thought of every possibility to prove her conclusion wrong but there was none.She felt a sob escaping her lips as tears streamed down her cheeks. Her chest moved up and down with every sorrowful sob that broke through her lips.She liked him so much, she trusted him so much to the point of giving up her life if he ever went evil bu
"Have you lost your mind?" Agnes asked. "That boy looked so miserable and desperate when he came to me," Agnes said in wrath. Her chest heaving up and down rapidly, indicating that she ran. Megara, who was sitting on the wooden floor of the veranda with a liquor jar in her hand, passed a side glance towards Agnes."He came to you?" She asked and Agnes nodded. Megara sighed and looked up at the cloudy sky. Yesterday, she completely degraded him. She knew he was going through a tough time because of her but so was she going through a tough time because of him."I suggest you stay away from him," Megara said and took a sip of the liquor in her hand. Agnes' jaw twitched and she got down the wooden floor now standing on the ground, in front of Megara."I don't understand you. One time you are desperate to somehow take him with you and then you suddenly go around pushing him. Didn't Marco warn you long ago? Do not make him rely on you. Now you have no right to push him away like that Megara
Megara slid the door close and plopped down on the bed with a huff. It was already past dinner time and ever since the morning she's been trying to look for him but he is nowhere. She even went to the garden where he usually is but he was not there either.She was about to lay back when all of a sudden something flashed in her mind and she abruptly got up. Her pupils dilated when she realized that she skipped one of the most crucial places to him...to her. "How careless." She said and instantly hurried out of her guest room and to the rooftop where they usually meet.However, her expectations came crashing down when she didn't find him there either. Perhaps, she was too late or he never came.He never came?Such wrong phrases couldn't be used for an assumption, especially when it comes to his love for her.Little did she know...he was there in this cold weather for so long...waiting for her...his orbs desperately seeking for her. Megara closed her eyes to push the tears back. Her ch
