"True." I replied without even looking at her, and without taking my hand off of his thick and tangled black mane. After what happened with Lavi the other day, and what you could call a fight that occurred between Kedar and I, Lavi was back with me. There was absolutely no way I could still have left him out there alone. For four whole days now, everyone had been somewhat angry at me. I simply did what I had to do!
"Are you feeling hungry?" She whispered again.
"False."
"Whoa! What a claw he has there, don't you think?"
"Again with the bloody whisper! Why are you doing this Nila?" I had taken all of their attitudes for the past bloody days. I couldn't hold it in any longer. They were supposed to be my guide, even when I made mistakes. Then corrected me. Not to judge me. "Why are you al

"So nothing? Anyone?" Bryon's voice wobbled with an obscure emotion from two chairs in front."Bryon, are you okay? Why did your voice sounded like that?" Nila asked him teasingly."Like what?" He asked with a serious look."Like you were just about to cry." Mona snickered, but quickly coughed when she saw Nila following in her direction. It was cute to see them both shared a smile together. I wondered whatever the hell happened between them."Of course not!" He squeaked in disapproval, maybe intending to have sounded more manly. I'd never really made fun of Bryon's awkward behavior_matter of fact, I'd always admired him somehow. He was cute, funny and had this kind of weird accent when he spoke. He liked to also talk a lot, in fact, making he and Nila a cute couple together. But he sometimes kept to himself, and thus, making us a bit distant. He somehow was afraid of me, and I couldn't blame him.

How hard could that be, huh? Well it turned out to be bloody damn hard!Until I met him. You see, living with those bastards of a keeper was something I'd never imagined myself doing. I was so close into thrusting my dagger into one's throat when the bad-mannered saphead rudely mention that no beast was allowed into the keeper's fortress. Even after Kedar's strange men had pleaded on my behalf, telling him that Lavi was my assigned animal protector. And by strange men, I meant dwarves. Short, ugly, mutilated face like a bag of well chewed caramel. Yes. Those dwarves. But the moment we arrived at the gates of their fortresses, they sprayed something colbalt blue like on their skins and instantly, turned into full grown men.After a long boring conversation, pleading and laughing minutes later, when I'd lost track of time I spent in the carriage, they finally welcomed us in and let us passed through the fortified gates.

"And then I said, for what reason would he do something as foolish as that."The crowd roared in laughter as Ulric gave a senseless speech. He talked about how he had his son, the death of his wife, and some boring topics similar. He was only suppose to mention the main purpose of throwing the feast, but instead, he decided to beat around the bush. We secretly went through the plan, if you called Nila screaming Kerik out loud rather than properly referring me as Lady Bellatrix secretly. Or Richard's interrogation with me, after Bellamy had invited me to join them in front. Since the ballroom was quite large, with ceilings higher than other rooms, it wasn't really easy to sneak up on people's conversations. Besides, Kedar made it quick and simple. She dug into Ulric's past and conceived an intense dark secret. I didn't know how she did her job, all I knew was that, that secret was our weapon.After the sneaky discussion, we went ahead wit

"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 took one last look at me, then ran out the door, leaving me to wonder what the hell I'd just encountered.«»«»«»«»«»"Bellatrix?"My eyes slowly worked it's way

"Will you to your power, cause law and justice in mercy to be executed in all your judgements?" The archbishop continued with the coronation's oaths.Today made it the fifth day since we'd overcame Richard and his armies of darkness. My mind raced as I thought of the way forward, and without Kedar on my side, I was somewhat miserable. We'd all promised to do this together. Nila was nowhere to be found, so was Mona. I went to Kedar's valley millions of times in a day, hoping to find any trace of her. But she wasn't there any longer. She was stronger than she looked. I prayed with all my heart that nothing bad had happened to them. I had always had this plan in my head, but might have not been possible if it wasn't for my friends. But the thought of Richard, the way he slashed at me with betrayal. I feared love or friendship. I'd lost everyone I ever loved, like my whole body was just a big magnetic weapon, drawn to only pain and sorrow alone. The feeling of emp

"I know I'm not supposed to care. I'm not supposed to ask, but what the hell are you talking about?" The words came out like a churning fire burning vigorously inside my guts. "Go where?" I knew I didn't cared anymore, I'd detested my mother since the dawn of ages. I didn't care what ever happened to her. For all that mattered, she was dead to me. But after loosing those that I cared about, after loosing them all, in nickel of time, my heard wasn't built for any other loss. Not even my abandoned mother."You don't have to understand me. I signed up for this.""What? You planned the whole abandoning children thingy on purpose?" Her expression was hard to read. Behind those deep brown eyes, those pale small lips and the perfectly looking smooth face, conveyed a million of thoughts. Sometimes she was happy, other times she was just-paused and sad. At the moment, they were between the sad and paused look."I signed up for this. I am a f

I explained everything to my mother the previous night, about finding Tara, releasing her soul and that of the remaining people. How to defeat the master, how I was supposed to seek Lilith for her blessings. Then she promised we would talk better the next day. After lots and lots of pleading, she finally agreed to stay for a while before setting out for her journey to hell knows where. The night seemed extra long that I found myself turning and tossing all night. My mind raced on a million things as I recalled every steps and decisions I'd taken over these whiles. I wondered if they were right. After what seemed like thousands of hours, I finally found myself lost in sleep. When my eyes opened again, it was already dawn. The sun bloomed on the horizon, golden petals stretching ever outwards into the rich blue. It was the brilliant flower of the sky that warmed other people. The invitation to a new day, the sunrise so ordinary extraordinary. Bu

"I now fully listen to your acquisitions. Proceed." Some of the people of Talot came quietly to have a discussion with their Queen, since we were interrupted the other day. Bellamy already left, and a part of me left with him. The good side, the patient one, the old side of me. Mother wasn't back yet, and I only hoped she came back with good news. The whole fortress just became empty; just me, with a whole load of people who either hate me, or are scared of me. Or both."Yes your majesty." The same person I'd been having problem with since the day one spoke."What is your name?" I asked him before he could continue."My name is Easton. Easton Campbell.""Very well then. You may proceed.""We gather before her royal Highness today, to receive her blessing." He smirked dubiously, like there was more up on his sleeves."For what?""To bargain, with the lower towns.

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.

"WHAT!" My voice came out a little louder than I'd expected. "What the bloody hell do you want?""Where are we going next?"

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

"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. 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.

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.
