Mini Series: Germs Andrew: Hey granny. Did you know? Gemini represents twins! Dandeline: Aw, that’s cute! Andrew: But the gem is mini. Dandeline: … Please don’t be like your fathers. Producer: Let me know you like this book by voting. Thank you~
"This toy is too complicated," I complained and dropped the technology on the mini table. "You weren't born when it was born, that's why. We all have timelines," Andrew reasons out. I'm running out of options. Their technologies aren't capable of taking us to our proper time. Every method I could plot about can only be done and—technically—can only be possible with my spellbook. Thoughts of my twins and mate who were left behind are torturing my patience and sanity. May the God of humans save my mind now that my goddess is depressing me! I stood up blankly and requested, "Let me meditate about it... Alone... In the spring pool." "... Sure," he mimics my lowly voice. Then he ordered Ruth to assist me. The way to that spring is the same, the only changes are the doors with necessary beeping sounds or code that Ruth unlocks to open them. But on the right side of the way to the spring is a dim hallway of 7 rooms on both sides. At the end is an open lamp. "What are these rooms for?"
"Me?" "Yes, you. Who're you again?" "I'll tell this to Andrew," he said to the guard, speaking cold as always. He takes me inside his office nearby and opens an automatic door using a card. "You have not forgotten my face except my name? I'm Afvshaganifs, kids call me Avi." I clap my hands slowly while staring at him. This generation made the filthy pirate gloom; he looks like a thirty-year-old decent man in a black suit, curly hair tied behind, shaved beard with few mustaches left, and an ax necklace. "What has this era done to you?" I praised. "You're in love now?" "I'm proud, not in love." "What brings you here?" "Haiban brought me here! I was with Andrew for help and he lost me. I'm looking for a mage who can help me and here you are, the end of my wandering. Can you use your spellbook? Because I can't." "Yes, you can't, lady. I hold the main source of enchantment in my spellbook found in the academy." "Then cut the crap and let me use my spellbook to return to my time
We hurried inside another huge building—compared to our clinics, this hospital is too vast! I'm clamping my fingers adhesively on Andrew's sleeve, fast pacing to the emergency room and there we found Ruth and Manjiro. Both of them are flushing and pale. Manjiro meets me in advance and asks, "Dandeline, what's going on with Linly?" "Why are you asking me? I just arrived. What happened beforehand?" "She fainted out of the blue," Ruth reports. "We were just talking in the living room when she turned pale, then her pulse was gone. The doctor said she was dead on arrival. They can't state their findings as of now. She just... suddenly... passed away." "That horror show... It was all because of that!" Manjiro blames. "What!?" Andrew blurts out. "You should've told me she can't handle it! I have collections of superhero movies!" "Absurd." I touch both sides of Manjiro's cheeks to calm him down. "You're well aware she was born dead. Her life depends on the Moon Goddess. But now that the
We've planned everything for a week. Ruth has been beautifying my face for an hour already. And I am impatiently following her instructions—even though I stay in one position—ever since she trimmed my eyebrows. I've never done it to myself! All I can do on this occasion is to trust their trend. She lends me a seat in front of the mirror when she's done. Then all my frustrations convert into guilt. I carefully tap my cheeks. "Ruth... what have you done to my face!?" "It's our make-up trend. Don't you like it?" "I absolutely love it! You're so talented!" I rewarded her with praise. She perfectly shaped my eyebrows, the color of my lips is feminine, and the overall make-up matches my skin; resulting in as a humble doll. Plus, my hair is straightened, that's how I realized the length reaches my waist. I almost feel like staring at my reflection and seeing someone else. "I'd like to stay like this forever." "No, ma'am. That will itch your skin," she warns. The perfume she sprays on m
He's such a blusterous maniac! There's a reserved room on the top floor exclusively for us where we can have our private coitus. But he's too aggressive, my arms are stuck in his clenches while shoving and kissing me on the door. The way he digs my mouth with his tongue suffocates me. I pushed him but his grip remained on my arms, then he dragged me to his bed and pinned my wrists—twisting his lips on top of me. "I knew it, you're worthwhile, lady. Perhaps I shall not return you to your wolf boyfriend and you stay stuck here with me," he said seductively—and absolutely infuriating! "Only a compelled woman will hit on you. Have some hygiene—!" I was in the middle of complaining when he sucked my lips with kisses again! Not minding the stain of my red lips on his. Or maybe I just dislike the smell of this man, far from being better than the smell of my mate. Moreover, there's something intriguing about the smell of his bed: it smells like sea salt! He tears the sleeves of my dress a
I stood in front of them. "This is what you want, no?" "How brave of you, lady. I bet you've accomplished what you need in my spellbook, so no, I came here for something better," he said, jingling my high heels hanging on his fingers. "To claim you other than the spellbook." I sighed hard. "If you want to play death with me, job well done! You're already killing me in cringe!" I throw his spellbook at him and he catches it. "Let Andrew go!" I demanded. Ruth and the maids have been weeping for him. "I'm sorry, granny... They f-forced me to reveal your whereabouts... and this h-house. I'll make sure to... to fire them!" Andrew confesses. Then Afvshaganifs presses the gun on his head. Ruth's scream is even louder and furious. But it changed nothing to save Andrew as Afvshaganifs triggers his gun and murdered Andrew instantly! The pirates surrounding the surrendered maids including Manjiro murdered them all by ax! I was ready to blast an enchantment against them when their captain to
We've gathered in the living room surrounding the sleeping captain. The maids are serving us hot chocolate drinks and for themselves too. Everyone is sleepless. While Andrew is relentless with his servants' welfare, I can sense his humbleness. He says, "They could've been traumatized. It will be better for all if they take a day off once you return to your timeline." "It will be better for Ruth if you tell her what happened to you," I replied. "Right! I was on my way home when Avi and his minions ambushed my car. They beat me several times until I mentioned your house. They took me along to prove my words and that's when I called on the phone." "And you told me that Afvshaganifs is your friend?" "Yes, he can still be my friend once he redeems himself. But for real, I don't want to die twice. Once is enough. Death is too painful if you're fighting for nothing." "In actuality, we only die once. But once you can die twice, fear shall fear you similar to this scumbag." I partia
I can see what she can see and it's inside my old house—the exact date where we left. I made her fly around the house but Haiban is not around. The blizzard has frozen and darkened the whole city. The previous destruction is still evident anywhere Acro looks. I saw the dreadful situation on the ground; dead wolves, a heap of snow, a frozen lake, and a total mess. Landing on a roof to see the previous battlefield of two Alphas with Haiban, I am greatly dismayed to see their lifeless bodies partially covered with snow. Acro flies high again to the castle, that's where I found Haiban killing the terrified kids inside the castle's first hall. He's not shedding blood but he's taking away their lives by his spellbook. Acro passes by as quick as thunder across Haiban's face, then roosts on a statue, facing Haiban. He's looking at Acro, at me, that's when I speak, "Hey, father," over the telephone. The kids got a chance to escape, when he was about to enchant them, I controlled him like a
If you’re here because you’ve finished reading the book, you have my deepest gratitude. To anyone who gave their best to read this book, in any legal way (or not through a 3rd party beneficiary), I salute you. Will there be a book 2? -None. Please? -No. This is the end of Hessuel & Dandeline’s story. Seriously, I just tried a werewolf genre and finally proved to myself that this isn’t my cup of tea. We Asians prefer vampires. *chortles* Will the twins have their own book? -No. They will stay kids in your imagination. Will Hrista & Andrew have their own book?-Yes. Their book is part of the contemporary romantasy series I’m building. Which means this book is a side story of that series. It wasn’t the plan at first, this was planned to be a stand alone book, but midway I fell in love with the characters of this book & decided to connect them to the universe of this beloved series. I have big dreams for this series & I want this book to be part of it. Meaning, some of the scene
At the hotel, I remove my outer garments and tight clothes, loosen my shirt and lie down prostrated on the huge bed. All night digging for the newlywed's honeymoon isn't real! I'm too tired throughout the preparation and the whole day of the great day! Dandeline is taking her time in the bathroom and I nap while I wait.But, my waiting took longer than her time inside the bathroom, the squint of sun rays was coming inside the room already! I fell asleep facing her, she fell asleep facing me. I stare at her face for a while, then reach for her nape and hair. She woke up with my touch."Hey…""Why didn't you wake me up last night?" I asked."You seem so tired I don't want to disturb you, so I postponed my plan." She stretches her arms and thighs shortly.
I still woke up late when I am supposed to be the one waking up early! A folded bathrobe is prepared underneath my feet. Wearing that, I squinted in the living room and found Hessuel getting himself ready to leave while holding a bouquet."Where are you going?"He is too occupied. He turns his face to me before looking with his eyes. "I have an errand~"I skip steps and help him fix himself, but then he requests me to hold the bouquet while he fixes his shoes. He seems lively, probably because that's what it feels when money is expected on the way."Where are the twins?""Back to school.""Ugh, sorry, I woke up late."
The day finally came when I sealed the spellbook that contains the power of the moon in front of the pulpit of another mage school. My strength is even lesser now, but it doesn't bother me if this is equivalent to an increase in time with my boys."Is this your final decision?""Yes.""From now on," an enchanter declares, "you are a retired moon priestess. Your name shall remain eminent throughout the mages' history. You have done a good, and quite risky job. Hence, we are grateful for your services." He made me sign the declaration which all the witnesses in this chamber have signed as well.Shortly, I left the solemn room and met Lanasia waiting outside. At first, she taps my toga, and then she hugs me tight. "I'm gonna miss you on duty! You have no idea ho
Afvshaganifs is imprisoned in the main forest castle in an empty room guarded with tough magic. The door is only a messy sketch on the wall and only my power can make it work. I expect to be surprised since it's the captain who's inside. But not at this level— "What the..." Supposedly, the room should be completely empty but she provided a royal chair, a gallant coat dress paired with a big hat, and eye shades for her own while sipping a luxurious wine in front of her levitating spellbooks! "Great. You look more like a lady now. Do you have to dress like that in prison?" "What, would you rather see a hot captain than a glamorous queen?" she replied with the flickering of her painted nails. Her dead personality somewhat mismatches the fashion. The confidence blinds me! "I just hope this has nothing to do with Tanya's influence. Anyway," in front of her, I flipped my skirt first and then sat in the air as if there was a visible couch, "I came here for confirmation after I prosecu
"You're gay?" Hessuel asked."No. A real woman." He magically makes his hat appear in his hand and wears it, later, his tied hair grows longer and as he crosses his legs, his features change into a woman. "I am not a queen of pirates for nothing," she said and her voice was an actual woman!Unable to close my mouth, I can't believe a woman has been flirting with me! She adds,"But I became converted to my male version that even in this body," she approaches me and smells my hair, "this woman in front of me still attracts me.""Shoosh!" I drove her away like a fly!Hessuel pulls me behind him. He is calm compared to me. "Then it means you killed my mother to claim my father? Because of jealousy?" he questioned. I looked at his
(Dandeline's POV)"What? Lanasia is not here!?""She's not in your house? All I know is she visits Hessuel to have his statement regarding the ongoing investigation.""She's not. All of them are gone.""That's alarming."Eventually, instead of Lanasia, I brought Matheo to their old house to ask for his help in the gateway. He opened the door of the dark cellar and told me that "Unfortunately, I am not the guardian of this world anymore. What is your intention there?"Pinching my chin, I stare at Acro in case she can give me an answer. Unless I see them safe, I will not be at peace. Hessuel is not in the condition to go anywhere without me. Perhaps I shouldn't have left those dogs!
A candle is the only light inside. In a blink of that sudden darkness, he turns into an adult again. An ax is hurled at me coming from the darkness and I tilt Lanasia with me to dodge it."Good reflexes," he praised. The ax flies back to his hand. He stretches his hand and grips his clench. I felt a powerful hand strangling my throat and I was pulled onto the table. I am far beyond the reach of his hand but its shadow on the wall—because of that candle—reaches me."Stop this! This isn't going to solve anything!" Lanasia slams the table, and when she is about to do magic, Afvshaganifs casts her out of the room and locks the door.Given that idea, I pushed the table until he was dragged and jammed into the wall behind him. I ran to him on the tabl
I'm lucky to find records about the pirate in my father's journal here in his office. I've spent hours reading to my advantage during our travel whilst the pishnies have been counting my yawns."Look! A big fish~!""Get him!""Hed! Danteleon! Don't jump through that window!"My father and the pirate are indeed friends for a long time ever since their school days up to their mage career. The most helpful record is my father's gift to the pirate in exchange for a reviving spell because this is what we've been looking for. A pishney gave me the blueprint of the architectural design of the ship."Kids! Stop—!"I heard a splash of water.
