One of his soldiers entered the meeting room to inform him of what had happened outside the palace.
"Tell me, what was your purpose, and why did you come here?"
"Pardon me, your highness. I just want to report some important news for you."
"What's that?"
The soldier came closer, "We found bodies of men at the corner end of the wall to the south."
"What do you think happened to them? Have you caught the perpetrator?"
"That's right, your highness, we don't think it was a human being did it to them. We found that their entrails were scattered around the corpses. It looks like an animal attacked them because of the scratches that can be seen on their bodies. "
"Where are the corpses now?"
"We have taken them to the back of the palace, your highness."
"Did anyone see a civilian in the corpses or what happened?"
"Right now, w

A woman with a haircut commonly used by men and with a dark skin, came out of a bamboo hut with a grass roof.“You have to change your roof, Eudora.” said the young girl who is just with her age.“Nah, I won’t be staying long in this village, Shuga.” Eudora said while they are both walking towards a house which was built with big trunks of trees, a well architected house for a supreme resident of the village.“What are we going to do at the chief’s house?” Shuga didn’t want to get involved in something that Eudora is going to make.“I didn’t ask you to come with me, Shuga, all the time. You are the one who wants to get involved. Don’t act as the force-petty-victim here, Shuga.” She’s now annoyed.“Okay, okay. I’m sorry. I was just trying to . . .”Eudora knocked th

INSIDE the Emporium Palace, the chief of the council went to his own office from the meeting room. When he got in, he closed the door and walked towards his table to grab the ‘Ball of Sight’, a clear crystal round ball. He placed it in the middle of the table and then he sat on the chair in front of the ball. He placed his both hands on each side of the ball and cites an incantation using nymphs’ language. “Here and now, I evoke the elemental force of water, the fluid of infinite shapes and forms. Flowing source of adaptability, emotion, and life. I seek the pure spring within that I might drink deep of change, relationship, nourishment, and grace. I call you forth to wash away all that needlessly binds and to move fluidly in this world.

Paddle to the ground and hide immediately." Counselor Kora shouted.In the three boats, the first to arrive on land was exhausted by the pull of the nymphs under the water.When everyone was out of the water, they immediately run towards where to hide while others are slowly dying from the spears that perpetuated into their body and rolled their eyes where those nymphs are hiding somewhere in the island.When the attack stopped, the bodies of lifeless soldiers gradually floated along with the staining of blood on the surface of the sea, while human heads with long hair appeared on the surface of the water.

THE sun is shining across the Desert Biome undistracted by the strong wind outside of the high walls around the Emporium Kingdom. Normal day with normal errands for the commoners. Everyone is running and minding their own business, but unlike some people, they can’t have those things for themselves. Given example are those humans who has the royal bloods that flows within them inborn and from generation to generation. They may have the ‘privilege’ that all people used to say or using it as a pronoun for defining with the same flesh and color of their blood. They may have everything they need but it’s not easy to keep the kingdom in balance, those people within it, the protection and safety of these people. It’s not easy as what people’s mind set and close it from havin

She was very powerful for a servant like her but I’m more powerful than her. I killed her with my own power. Darkness with light versus just darkness.” “We better get hurry.

SERAPHINA can’t stop thinking about her daughter. All ifs she could think of are messing up her mind. They are now going outside of the palace to meet the king and his soldiers. Drakaina is leading the way while Seraphina is just following her with occupied mind. “Hana, wait!” Seraphina called her daughter. Drakaina stopped and turned, “First, I am not your daughter, Hana. My name is Drakaina, like you always call me, even though Hana doesn’t like it to hear from you. But lucky for you, that’s what I like. Okay?

“THEY didn’t find anything suspicious that could lead to her. That all means that she got able to escape the palace without our guards noticed her,” King Chen said while walking back in forth. “We have to do something before her pack can make a huge panic to the city. If she was hungry and killed one of our soldiers, then the rest of her pack must eat, too.” Hana said while watching him. “How are we supposed to catch all of them without letting the people inside the walls, notice about the threat?” “Can you please stop? You’re making my head hurt by just looking at you,” Hana couldn’t stand of him. She held her head and gently stroking it on its back.&

SHE took a deep breath before going inside. Everything around her became dark as soon as she entered. She turned to look at the light from outside, but it was slowly disappearing, so she continued to walk in, even though her legs were shaking so much, and her skin hairs were also standing up especially on her nape. Every step she took was equivalent to swallowing her own saliva. A few more steps and she feel as if she is being choked, she is having difficulty breathing and she feels more and more dark all around, until her knees weakened even more, and she slowly kneels on the ground and she feels dizzy. Everything is all dark now. Even a small light had disappeared from her sight. Hana woke up in a dark place and lost her weakness, earlier. She slowly stood u

HANA and her mother reached a village. They could see almost no color in that area. All houses are colored black and white. As they approached the village, holding the ropes of their camels, the winds that greeted them seemed to embrace them. It was warm coming from the sea mixed with heat from the ground that made Hannah's feathers stand up. “Are you okay, Kaina?” Seraphina asked her daughter. “Yeah, I’m fine. It’s just . . . I don’t like the feeling of coming back here. I can still hear their cries, shouting for help and memories of what happened that . . . that horror night.” Hana stops from walking and tears escaped from her eyes. “Hey,” a soft tone of Seraphina’s voice. “I&rsquo

They left the ship at the deep surface near the shoreline. The place seems to have become a silent nation. No audible noise of children playing or not so people walking from around. “Where is everyone?” Hana asked while they are walking towards the main entrance gate of the village. “I don’t know and I’m not sure what was exactly happened here.” Keiynan replied without removing his sight on the surroundings. “What do you mean ‘you don’t know’?
