Following Tara to the door I thought about who must have been desperately trying to break down our door.
Tara slowly reached for the door and opened it gently. Standing grumpily in front of us was a burly figured bald man. Glancing at him, I quickly observed an ornamented sewing of a black serpent on his chainmail amour. A knight you might say, but no ordinary one. He was a member of the keepers. The bald Knights. Even the women always were too. It was believed that they had to get all form of impurities so one can be pure and cleared from their sins. Like that made any of them less corrupt.
"Took you long enough!"he scolded, his cold eyes fixed on us.
Those bastards!
Tara tried to reply stammering through her words "s..s-so sorry sir -"
"Are you trying to talk back miss?" He questioned quickly, interrupting Tara.

"Kerik you're not expecting anyone, are you?" Tara finally asked, making use of her words and immediately walking straight to the door."I know I'm a lot of things, but I don't keep insane humans as friends."Following Tara to the door I thought about who must have been desperately trying to break down our door.Tara slowly reached for the door and opened it gently.

**** Sending final goodbyes to Ragnila after persuading her to run for her dear life I trotted down the devil's den. Again. Unlike the last time, creeping back here only sent a chill down my spine. This time I was scared. What if something bad had happened to her. I could never forgive myself. Fenrel really had no heart. He was more cold than an ice. He killed for fun,destroys lives mainly because he could. I was starting to know him better now. If only I had known more from the beginning. He was already waiting for me at the entrance, smiling mischievously. The last time I didn't have any plan. Now, there was just one goal. To kill him!Spreading his arms widely as one does to greet one's beloved."Welcome back my dear Kerik" he teased,coming closer to me.He really wanted to die." Where's she? ""Who?"
Four weeks ago:~******"But, I need you. You need me to solve the issue with these septic. Then, your blood, you, you're so powerful." She stared at me like I were a breakfast, lunch and dinner to a person who hadn't had any meal in lots of years back."Leave freely now while you still can." I left her from the position she stood in and turned back to leave, instantly got encountered with a septic."Watch out!" The strange lady screeched out, but I wasn't surprised by the sudden visit of those septics. I had even cured one the other day at the palace. All I needed to do was just to get closer to him and make a direct contact. Then he would be cured. He dragged forward, with multiple long snakelike related creatures dangling on his head. "Are you crazy, your Majesty!" I heard her yelled from below but still chose to ignore. These infected people
Four weeks after :~There's nothing in this world that is more insane than searching for your own sanity, long after you've lost it... Why wouldn't I loose it? Life has never for once gone easy on me. And why would it? When all I'd ever done was to hurt all those that were around me. Why the bloody hell would life go easy on me!They say the name, Kerik, meant 'the strong one'. The strong one? Well, if strong meant loosing your own sanity after you accidentally loose it. Or letting your mind get away with murder on you every second of your life. Or when the demons in you, decides to drag you into the eternal darkness, into fire and ice. Maybe all of that means being strong. Maybe as the darkness gets too dark, the sun burns and dies with it because being strong meant never to see the sun shine any longer. I was now a prisoner. Prisoner of my own burden, of my pain and never ending suffering, with no one to come to my rescue.
"Four weeks after, and we still haven't found the cure." Tobin complained as he angrily bit the piece of apple he had in his hand. He always had what is it that you call it, uh, anger issues. But wasn't he right after all? The septic were still septic. No changes at all."Well, luckily, after more than eighteen patients being tested and revived on, we're all still save and healthy." Peter went on to add, even after he knew it would only upset Amelia over here. Without even noticing, I suddenly found myself, shaking shoulder to shoulder, creepily muting my voice from exploding further as I chuckled first, then started grinding from ear to ear before finally bursting out in laughter. On a normal term, Peter's statement or dry joke if you ask me, wasn't even supposed to have provoked a bit of laughter in me. But could you have blamed me?
Live had been what we call a living hell for all of us at Talot, like walking straight towards the gates of the underworld. More of the villagers had turned into the septics, making the rest of us that were saved and not turned really few, as if a tiny drop in an ocean. We'd had to protect the inner walls from corrupting with the outsiders. At one point I accepted others from other kingdom to dwell in with us, for protection and provision of shelter and food. I'd done that with a pure heart without any hint of doubt or regret. Now, with the rate of which other corrupted people had filled Talot, it was slowly starting to become close to unbearable. Scarcity of food had hit us harder than a solid rock. The only source of meat we had left after the keepers took all from us, was just the people from Tobin's place. Ever since they'd dared cross their boundary with me, and lost Tobin to me, they'd done nothing but made the kingdom a pain in the ass. They said I will not bow to them. Haha!

"Kerik! Kerik!"I could hear a voice faintly crying out.That was strange. My name was being called."Kerik!" The voice became a little louder.It was just a dream. Nothing was"Here, follow me." The woman who was supposed to be my mother, lead us to a small room close to the kitchen. "We'll be safe in the pantry, my child." She smiled again, like she'd been doing since she appeared to us."Thank you ma'am." Bellamy quickly appreciated her rendered help, and looked at me for a reply too. "We thank you so much." He added after getting nothing but a blank expression on my face. "She's just been through a lot.""No worries. I'll leave you two to send off anything that might leave a trail on your hide out." Her lips curled into another smile, but was instantly replaced with a worried look. "I love you, so much." She whispered, then focused on Bellamy. "Please take care of her, and stay safe." Having said that, she t
Tell me if a person falls apart alone in the dark,does it make any sound? And let's say it does,is it as loud and devastating as a decaying broken heart when it's finally found? Or is the sound a soft strangulation hidden that we all miss the time behind words like 'I'm fine'?Nila had mention earlier that Tara's necklace just fell on the floor and she didn't wanted to return it yet because she was afraid of how I'd react."I found it, and I knew I should have rightfully returned it but.. I'm sorry Kerik. You just weren't in a stabilized form to have received it yet"Maybe she was right after all. Tara meant the whole world to me and she still does. My only motivation for living. Imagine if your most precious possession; your mother,father,sibling,best friend or even your dog disappeared in your presence,and you. You felt the most helpless to do
"WHAT!" My voice came out a little louder than I'd expected. "What the bloody hell do you want?""Where are we going next?" And with that statement, he provoked every nerve that filled me, and I could fill my eyes twitched in annoyance, like I could just face him and strangled every bit of essence left in his poor soul.Meat.You don't even have to ask. Judging from the name, nothing normal could have come out from it.You don't even have to ask. Judging from the name, nothing normal could have come out from it."But still-""But still-"
The tone in her voice alerted nothing but one sense. Danger. I had endangered the lives of others because of my foolish pride. I could have walked away politely, and save others. Tara. But leaving the devil to reign did not fully assure me that my family and friends would be saved."This is your last chance Kerik." She added, then paused. Waiting for me to fully accept to the proposal. My mind raced over a million things. What if I choose this option, and defeating the devil seems more impossible than I'd expect. Then I would never forgive myself. If only I could get more time, more days to puzzle over the prodigious decision. But even if I was opportune to that kind of indulgence, I feared my answer would still remain constant."Yes. That's what I choose. This is what feels best to me, so I've made up my mind." Her head lowered into a slow single nod. Then she came forward and handed me the amulet around her neck."Once you

Sir Ayer was dead. Dead! Nobody knew who killed him. No. Everyone pretended like they didn't know his killer. A logical thing to do,if you didn't want to become next. A coward. That was what everybody became. But I wasn't ready to turn into one. I might be sweet,nice and ready to abide to every rules and regulations, but the demon inside me was only sleeping. Not dead. 'Think about your life,is it worth foolishly loosing?' You might want to ask me that. Well is doesn't really feels like I was living. There's just the body,but no life in it.Charging grumpily to the gates of hell,well it wasn't scary at all. I felt no fear,on the contrary all that cluttered up in my lifeless body was this ravaging rage. This time the devil should be scared of me. A powerless,thoughtless, completely hopeless me.I thought there would be a somewhat change in mind as I got to the entrance,but no. Nothing."You there, open up!" If it's

Getting there, a young man covered in full pile of blood was laying helplessly on the ground. His eyes.. Oh his eyes were already so pale that I was starting to doubt whether there was any black left in them. It became so hard to even notice where the wound was from. I couldn't really tell much, but from the looks of it, it looked like he was butchered on purpose. He had been completely rough handled. Poor man. What feared me most was that his soul was already half gone from his body as his body was close to being empty at the moment. It was so scary, yet sad and devastating. I couldn't protect him. All of the happiness inside of me, crumbled away and dissolved into the air like dust. There was a silence to my soul; like I was fall leaves under frost. I felt the chill in my blood, coldness bringing the synapses of my brain to a stand still. Part of it was a pain, yet one I felt I could endure, one I could sleep through night after night without the need of false hope.
