Their room was filed with their love. The fireplace crackle gently as the shadow of them merged as one. Rose felt a sense of pleasure humming her body as they both have finished their lovemaking. She tiredly looked aside, looking at how the sun had appeared behind the curtain, giving a gentle orange light to pass through the brown fabric. She turned to his chest, snuggling closer to his embrace. Dominic played with her hair, circling her golden locks against his long fingers with a soft smile of happiness. “You should sleep now. I will wake you up later before breakfast.” Rose nodded her head, “But I want to be with your for a little longer.” She then pressed her ears against his chest. “Dominic, how do you think we would live like after everything have ended?” Dominic looked down to her eyes and softly tugged his lips, “I don’t think it will change? Maybe we would be at more peace as both of us will be protected from danger. We could move to the countryside if that makes you fe
Starvos was silent. Mona who was worried of his reaction slowly lifted her face, finding a horrified look on Starvos’s face as he stared at the cross that was presented in front of him, as though a thunder bolt had struck his body, destroying every piece of him. “Hey! Hey you should breathe!” Mona shouted as she realized how Starvos had stopped breathing from shock. The old werewolf coughed as he tried to inhale his breaths, finally stepping out from his daze. In a long silence, he then said, “You didn’t lie to me right?”“Like hell I would ever lie about stuff like this,” Mona rolled her eyes and put down the teacup beside the fireplace. She silently stared at the crackling fire. “I didn’t want to do it in front of the kids. If they were hoping you are to be his father but turns out the opposite, I can’t bear to see their disappointed face. So I did it silently.”“But.. that’s impossible,” said Starvos, covering his lips. “Hey I thought you of all people would be rejoice in findi
Elizabeth walked through the snow storm. Her horse had became tired from the long journey that they had and when she saw the bright light coming from the tent of the soldiers, she decided to stop riding her horse and walked through the cold. Her feet created the footsteps which quickly disappeared as snowflakes hovered over the traces again. Upon seeing someone, the soldiers immediately become alerted, “There is a guests!” “Prepare your weapon!” Shouted the other people. Starvos sat in front of his tent. Beside him was his assistant who had quickly bandage the wound on his stomach. Even though tonight was full moon, Starvos had suffered so many wounds that it was difficult for him to ever keep a straight mind.“Bring more alcohol,” Starvos demanded. To his mind, only alcohol could help him withstand the pain across his body. He couldn’t faint now. He couldn’t lose conscious now. He had promised to his beloved Eliza that he would come home soon. “But sir, you are already intoxicat
Starvos watched as Elizabeth walked away, holding a glass of water on her hand which she then pass to his hands. She looked outside, somewhat grateful of the snow as it cooled down passion and pain.When she came back, she settled the water to his hands. Starvos continue to stare at her as though he had been dreaming and finally woke up from his daze. Elizabeth waved her hand in front of him, smiling, “What is wrong? You keep looking at me.” “I was just thinking that this all feels like a dream,” Starvos patted the seat beside him again, calling her so she would take a comfy place beside him. “But although I’m happy I have to be angry to you this once.”Elizabeth rubbed her cheeks, “I was worried and I know I was too hasty but I couldn’t help it.” “I know but where you are going to is the battlefield. It’s not a place where you could come whenever you feel like it and I’m sure you understand that too,” Starvos sighed, his hand clenched tightly together. “If anything were to happen w
Starvos immediately stood up on his seat. He frowned as he realized what was wrong with the suggestion that Mona gave. He immediately sat back down to his seat and sighed, “But I have to be going head on to the castle, alone right?” “This is what I want to ask you to do,” Mona said, as she tapped the cross that she had given to him, “If you hold to this cross, it will help you to connect with my magic. Meaning, I don’t have to be sticking close beside you to protect you. I can simply whisper a spell whenever I think you need and for you to use it.”“What do you mean?” Starvos was sure that this was Mona’s own way to shoo him off, as if to prepare him so he could go to the war. “I want you to go to the castle and capture the Duke,” said Mona at once, revealing her plan. “I can’t let those children suffer alone. Especially not Rose. Not her.” Starvos looked surprised by her words and confused, “What do you mean Rose will suffer?” Starvos saw how Mona immediately went silent. The woma
The master sighed as he finally looked into Rose’s green eyes after a long while of silence. He then asked, “Did you use any black magic yet?”Rose shook her head after a moment of silence. She didn’t remember using any black magic and the worse she had done was probably the small magics that she read from the books. The master trusted that Rose would never lie to him, knowing how she don’t know any black magic to begin with. But seeing how there was the black aura behind her, he could also tell she had somewhat started a black magic without knowing it herself. Rose nervously looked at the Master whose eyes kept studying her. She wrung her hands together, feeling a little anxious that the Master would turn her down. She knew that in this world, the master would perhaps be the strongest compared to everyone.His limits were humans and the oath his ancestors made but without that, perhaps it would be extremely easy for him to turn Essex into his own kingdom. If he reject her offer… s
Isaac walked down the empty imperial castle. He hummed a song, walking in a fluid movement as though he was dancing. His hands were kept lower, one circling half way and the other spread wide away from his shoulders. It almost appeared as if he was dancing with an invisible partner. He continued to close his eyes, walking down the staircase as in his head the song had began more intense. His feet moved faster and faster, his hand swinging his partner in a deeper curve as though he had let his partner down only to suddenly pull them back up. He only stopped once the music in his head had stopped moving. His eyes then turned to look at the bottom of the staircase where his left eyes had turned completely purple, unable to turn back to black which was his original eye color. “You are still insane,” spoke the creature standing right in front of him. “But that what makes you fascinating Isaac enough to gain my attention.” “Fascinating?” Isaac chuckled, “I gave you half of my soul, Nezu
Raindrops fell like diamond on top of his carriage. Dominic who had left the mansion to investigate the news he had just heard from his men was greeted to come back to today’s sky mourning on top of him. He sighed as the coachman jumped down from the driver seat of the carriage. He pulled out the umbrella and hovered it over Dominic before his master would get wet and ill. Dominic looked at the mansion, finding his room had been alighted, signaling that Rose was there. Dominic took the umbrella and looked behind, finding the unconscious Cain who he had just found. The man who is also his most trusted assistant had disappeared for weeks and was only found today as Dominic’s men finally reported to have found the wounded man. “I guess he does has a strong body,” spoke the man who had appeared beside Dominic. The young man’s eyes were silver. He is the man who his cousin, the King of Agios had lent to him. The man, although appearing younger than himself, was in fact the second best
