"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.

“WHAT are you reading?” Elena jumped out of surprise and tossed the crumpled paper back from the litter basket. “Nothing. This literature is ridiculous. We could not find anything here.” Jason appeared from nowhere, his little ball-plaything bouncing back on his hands. "Startled?" He gave her a devilish grin. They were friends who both shared the same thirst for truth in answer to the call of their blood. They went from far places, then after two years, they found out their truth. They did not know that they were Magicians until they found out about the school – or, at least, she did not. They were both orphans. And then, they found out that Magicians were all orphans. Elena grew up in an all-girls institution and quite exceptional in almost everything. Her mates of the same
The Lost Angel: Pilgrims Chapter 2: The Jade Island
Raymundo Palmero was the youngest of his sisters. He’s the only son of the patriarchal family. Meaning, he’s the only ruler left of Jade Island. Jade Island was the most exotic place left in existence in the ruins of the old Highlands. No one remembered the Highlands. Those were the times of great evil brought by all Magicians. If their lines were still practicing the perfect laws that they had now, there would be no downfall for the Highlands. But, the Rulers were too carefree to care about those gods, angels, and demons, thinking they had the same agenda as humans. The Sirens were the only creatures who knew about the great past. And, they exactly knew what happened in the Great Tribulation which was the Great Silence for the Magicians. Aside from the Sirens, only the Magicians remained with their power. Unlike the Sirens, the Magicia
The Lost Angel: Pilgrims Chapter 3: Not the Last of Us
Rudolf was the last of the Ariums – the most powerful clan of Magicians way back in the time of Highlands. The House of Madrigals was the grandest of houses among the families of Royalty. Michael, his great-grandfather built it along the coast to mark their territory – especially from one of those cruelest tribes he was ruling by sight. The Sirens were the tricksters and they could not be trusted. Those who had the power to weave truth as to how they saw it fit could not be trusted. Trust should not be free; one thing should be trusted only if it’s worthy to be trusted. The Magicians had clans among themselves. They were divided by names of the angels or of demons who sired them. The Ariums could bend reality. By that, it meant illusions. They could drive anyone to madness. However, this could be good too. They could suffer by mak
The Lost Angel: Pilgrims Chapter 4: The Night Children
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 magic.They 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. B
The Lost Angel: Pilgrims Chapter 5: The Circle
Darkness crept on Highlands as nightfall owning the night. Magicians loved it. Fires were made and incense burned for the coming of the moons. Magicians, both children of demons and angels, displayed their wings and beautiful bodies. No one wore any piece of clothing except their feathers which only covered and made their wings. They shone. Every full moon, they made sacrifices to the goddesses and swam on the Lake of Selena. Every full moon, the three moons aligned and that night was sacred as swimming the lake. If they’re lucky, one of them would be chosen. If that happened, it meant that there were coming difficulties, or the gods would join with them to favor them. After the Bath, just after midnight, every clan did their ritual to welcome the deities.
The Lost Angel: Pilgrims Chapter 6: About Time
Golden streaks of sunlight showered the Sanctuary. Narra leaves were falling, preparing its branches for the coming spring. Dead leaves scattered the forest floor as the wind tried to brush off the heat of this humid afternoon. Birds joined the symphony of the breeze and the trees. Not far, two Night Children walked along the isle of paved rocks. “It’s beautiful,” Kristina said. “Beauty is dangerous,” Albert remarked, and continued walking past the towering olive trees, enjoying the moment. “Not to us,” Kristina argued naughtily. The Night Children were striking in their beauty. Albert just grinned. He liked that Kristina liked him. He’s quite sure that he’s starting to develop this intimacy that he hadn’t felt for quite a long time

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. But they are not truly free.Elena had been listen

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

It would be a glorious day in the Highlands. Or so what Joana thought that early dawShips from the Islands Across the Great Sea had brought the New World in the harbors. When the light of the day will be fully bloom, the trade center would be busy. Thus, such thought made Joana high spiriteThe sites where the armies camped were reigned by full action. Soldiers lined up behind their island ba banners. The kitchen was boosting of movements too. By midnight of the last day, the hunters and the fishers brought their goods as per command of their state heads towards the kitchen. The women attended the arrival then just soon, the bell rang for the breakfast preparatioAs it was agreed that since the Great Wall in the East hadn't down yet, no business would start at the trade center. Then, it seemed that Highlands had to cater the needs of the increasing population. By that the occasion had raised crisis. Food became as

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. Elena told him that she heard it too. However, what he heard was different. Those were crying of people alive. His were dying crieIt's almost dark whe
