2024-10-29 19:42:56Highlands differed nothing from the modern world he had been. Politics played the same dirty trick of power and illusion. From where he stood, he could still smell the stink that fueled all rulers. It would be godsend if one could find just one who was not as greedy as of all he knew.
It took too long for him to realize that. When he was still the Reign of Los Barrios, he was blinded by it. He knew it was all for good intentions but he now clearly saw the difference. Everything was personal. His grandfather was right on that and as long he kept his path clear of all the distractions, he would never lost his way towards it.
He remembered his half-brother. Rudolf brought him there back in the past. It was a long time now that he almost forgotten his face and the memories started to fade. It shocked him that it was still clear to him even now. He lived different timelines in the future and what happened as of the moment was just a blur. He could say what was about to ha

It happened like a blur. One time, she was still hiding inside her Palace while wondering what Rudolf meant when he left her on Los Barrios For several nights, she kept on ways understanding everything about Time Magic. She had scattered all the books in the shelves and even in the whole library. But as limited as she was, she owned nothing to fast forward time and be done with the reading. Reading all of those would take eternity for her to finish and Rudolf said, as soon as possible. She did not have an ASAP and it throbbed her brain like crazy. She watched as everything unfolded in front of her. She disregarded Jason who kept trailing on her, asking for her favor on the coming war. Whatever Jason meant of the Dragon's Egg, it did not matter at all. The coveted egg was a mark and it was etched on her skin. If she could just take it off of her, she already did the first time she arrived on the Palace. The Mark burned on her skin and sometimes

She had been able to keep the tavern from Albert for so many years before she decided to show it to him. The very reason she hid it was because she had other transactions. She catered vampires and humans in the place for business. When Albert showed his interest to her, she knew that the hiding should end then.She invited him for pleasure. She had some thoughts on how he felt about her. They were both confused. They were immortal and they had quite a lot of time to figure out about their emotionShe marked her territory. The tavern was no longer a safe space and though Miranda was a friend now, she could not trust her yet. There were secrets better unknown to some. She decided to take some place in the forest near the waterfalls since there was a portal there. As legends told, a Siren was guarding the place and when there was a Siren, there was a gate it was keepinShe wanted to do her business where there was&nbs

With her white robe, she laced her sneakers and jogged towards the counter table to fetch her water. In one gulp, she emptied the liquid down and then heaved a deep breath.“You cannot join the challenge,” Jason scolded her. “It’s dangerous“I am a magician,” she said, getting her bag. “I am entitled to such privileges“What skills could you possibly contribute to the team? The challenge is too physical,” he advanced. “You are a time traveler, Elena“I’m still a traveler,” she defended. “I can travel just like you. Besides, why did you allow Fulenas to join if that were the skill requirement of the gameShe left him on the balcony. The last night was hard. They did not talk much. Jason slept in some other rooms in Dwelling Palace since Elena did not allow him access to enter inside the Time Palace

Elena boxed the Circle with her fists. She was crawling on all fours. Her pain was unimaginable."Ahhhhhh!!!!" she screamed. "Stop it!""You need the pain to become whole," Red said.Elena named her already. Red. If she's not harder on telling her name, she would have a much better choice to call her. The child on a red hood was visiting again. She was more cheerful momentarily as if she was too glad of Elena's pain"I cannot live it!" Elena hissed under her breath. "It's too painful."Truth is painful, darling," Red said. "You need to be stronger when it comes. Or, you'll forever cage in your circle."This is not in the books!" Elena begged. "If I had known, I wouldn't have tried."Red chuckled. She was almost laughing. "No one had ever lived to write the truth."The pain started from her head, down to her spine. Then, when it reaches her tailbone, flashes of memories were rushing into her mind. If she could stop it, she

She struggled to see that the world she went in was too beautiful to be so confusing. She heard music - beautiful as it was but it held a language she could not understand - like listening to a good tune but on a different language.She could not describe it. It was perfect. It was a Paradise but it made no sense. She realized there was no light of day there and there was no night. She was enclosed on a planet of pure magic. She could feel it vibrating on her skin and seemed to be her blood telling her that she knew this place very muchShe faced the woman who bore the same face as hers. The only difference they had was the manner of their dressing. She was a Magician from Los Barrios. The Palace housed the twelve tribes from the lines of angels who went to Highlands to reproduce. A very long time ago, deities could come and go to Highlands and enjoy the pleasures of men. Angels were sent as messengers and since they spoke a different

She kept on telling herself that she was good at it - even better than the other realities she participated. She remembered all the faulty efforts of the Phoenix on healing time. She never forgotten it, but what she's afraid was knowing that she never learned something from it. Didn't she learn somethingShe knew she had learned something but somehow, it seemed that it was not good enough anymore. She's facing reality. And, it was harder than she thought it would be. Being her as a Constant was just new to her. It was when the time turned and everything was newShe had to make a decision now. The Night Children was hopeless and they needed a leader - not just like Albert. They needed someone who was better than Albert. He was too sentimental and even the smallest change of habit was a dirty jokeSitting on the Constant's Seat on the Sacred Hall of Bones was her responsibility and right. But it seemed to be so stran

Magicians were not just angel’s descendants - they're from demons as well. Just as there were good Magicians, there were bad as well. However, demons' descendants, known as the Night Children, were not all terrible, just as angels' descendants were not all benign.Beauty could be deceiving. And the demon children were incredibly attractive. Their beauty was out of this world, just like they were. They lacked the inborn magical abilities that their counterparts possessed. They did, however, have a claim to the sphere of power. That's why they could use rituals to summon and conduct magiThey found it difficult to make magic. The Night Children, as they were known, could, however, morph into any animal they wished during the night. Clans existed, but only a Constant should be in charge of them for Constants were Greater Demons' progeny. By birth, the Constant should be a vampire or a werewolf. Their transformation would be seen in their

She smelled her clean jacket and wore it hiding the dagger inside it. Her jacket smelled ripe mangoes on a summer harvestPushing the wooden door, she crept to the cold dawn. She seemed very pleased. The morning greeted her and she felt the fresh whisper of the wind in her ears as if singing a morning greeting, touching her scalp like anointing her for a blessedShe sighed. She was no one.

"Have you eat something already?" Betty asked. "It's still a long day ahead."I did have," he replied. "A little. The young men ate all of it."That's why they looked so happy," she commented. "It's as if they actually made a joke that so silly."That is right," Rudolf said. "Who are their parents?"I don't know," she answered. She called the thin girl to come over her. "Well, young men these days, what could you possibly expect?"Generous?"Betty laughed at that. So hard and she was almost knocking herself. Rudolf didn't understand much though what's so hilarious with the statement."I am so sorry," she apologized as she wiped the little tears on her eyes. "That was the funniest thing I've heard since the . . . crash. Generous might have been a word when humanity knew how to build houses and created a neighborhood. Not possible on a time of survival."You can be wrong at that too," he said. "I have been generous

It must be a wonderful morning. The breeze felt warm to the skin and great for breathing. It felt more like having a good sunbath on a late afternoon twilight. She opened her eyes and her very own private pool in the secret underground of the Palace satisfied her with the things she would never felt outside.She used to be alone - even before. So, it did not matter to her. She learned that being alone was much better to be with someone who wished no blessings for her. There were too many who wished to be closed with her - to befriend her. However, those whom she learned to give entrance to her personal life were either dead or a villain."This is much better," she said to no one in particular. "If your cage gives you satisfaction, why do you need to get out?"Prisoners in jail are given food, shelter and clothes. They just have to do some chores like what we do in the house as mortals.

Since the two brothers left Betty's Haven, Ray felt an absolute uneasiness. He knew where and when they went. As a Siren, he made himself quite acceptable in the knowledge of keeping track of those who passed the threshold that kept reality from fantasy. Those thresholds discouraged so many travelers and those who aspired because it was a great pit of eternal darkness. But he knew that those who understood the principles of crossing boundaries between the times, that eternal darkness only held eternal mysteries to the unknown. However, the traveler should know what he was doing for that matter or else he would find himself somewhere he did not wish to be. He'd be lost for eternity as well.Ray made peace on waiting them. But as the day grew tenser and the Night Children broiling around, he gave up peace. He's still Betty's little Mark. So, to avoid suspicion which was entirely difficult to avoid, he gave himself a mysterious sickness that the poor young lady kept herself busi

She looked back on the wooden stairs which spiralled the Great Tree of the Sky Kingdom. This tree stood thousands of years, towering around a thousand miles from the ground. Everything looked like ants down from there and the wind whooshed and howled like a giant storm was coming."You know Rudolf's portals?" Ray, the Siren, asked behind her.Elena did not turned to face him. She knew what he would say and she did not care about it. The Sirens made their way with the gods and there was no point of befriending them if their loyalty could not be trusted"Yes," Elena replied. "Rudolf is a powerful Magician."You should know that he does not make portals before," Mark announced, not moving from where he was standing. "I am a Siren and the making of gates and portals should only be known to Sirens."And yet, Rudolf knows. Is that his mistake that you taught him how to muster the gift?Of course, Elena knew that the late King of the Sky King

Standing over the porch, overlooking the view of the Mountains, brought up so many fond memories. The green valleys downwards and alive browns of earth - woods and the rich humus - reminded her when things were just simpler. The smelt of fresh tropical air signalled that summer was coming - and summer was the time of joy.A lot of times, she wondered if she could just turn back time and lived there for eternity - repeatedly. She did have the opportunity and now she dreaded it. To be stuck there for eternity was not a blessing. It never was. It was not living afterall. Time was something you spent and never take back. One should either dreaded it or cherished it for there such no thing as perfect.Raymund the Siren waited in the black room. This room was the only place where Sirens were admitted since in the Highlands, Sirens were considered dangerous. That might be because they never admitted themselves under the Reign of the Three States. They chose to be different, a

Exhausted and starving, Raymond urged himself not to collapse. He pushed his way out to the dark tunnel. At his right side, he supported Elena's weight. If he would collapse, nothing would help them. If he would collapse, who would take of Elena? No. He wouldn't collapse and lost consciousness. He had a lady to take of. The lady so much precious in his lifElena had lost consciousness right when they were about to find a way out from the steel door they had entered from the inside tunnel from the Water Palace. He thought it was exhaustion that Elena fainted but he realized that he even was fainting. The darkness was to thick but it wasn't just the darkness who was tempting him to surrender to unconsciousness. It was these voices. "So many voices I couldn't determine who," he told Elena.
