Dominic knew he was sane. He had spent all his time thinking of this choice and perhaps even more than Shawn had imagined. He recalled Rose’s words as she forgave her sister. Even though there was a time where his sister had prioritized someone else more than Rose, she wasn’t angry. She believed that her sister was only lost and one day she would come back to her. Dominic wondered why he had never given the same chance to Shawn. Since the past when he saw Shawn, he immediately brushed him aside, knowing that one day Shawn will hurt him as Ashley had hated him too. But perhaps this thoughts of him was too childish. Shawn is not Ashley. He is his own person. If he had been closer, if he had been a good older brother who lead his own younger brother to a better path, would Shawn still be the angry person as he is now?“I know who you are well, Shawn,” Dominic said calmly, he knows that Shawn didn’t want to listen to him but he still want to let his words to be heard, “I have hope for
The leather glove covering Starvos’s finger turned wet as blood continue to drip from the ends. He wiped his cheekbones where the blood had splattered to his face but Starvos still feel thirsty for revenge. When he imagined in this house how Elizabeth had suffered, he could only feel more rage fueling to his blood. It got worse when he imagined the idea of a child like Dominic who have to think this man as his father who couldn’t protect him. Starvos threw the gloves to the side, letting his dry hands to settle the fresh teeths he had plucked out directly from Jeremiah’s jaw. “This doesn’t feel enough, don’t you think?” Starvos questioned, staring down at Jeremiah who couldn’t speak any longer which was good as he didn’t want to hear any word from this bastard even if it was his dying plea.“I took your feet that had brought you into making decision to come to Agios. I have taken your fingers that have hurt my son and touched my wife. I have taken your teeth that you use to show yo
Shawn recalled well the moment when he was still attached and close to Dominic. All he wished was for his mother to one day understood how Dominic was a good brother who care for him as much as his mother cares for him! One day he believe his mother will understand him too but that thought was quickly rejected the moment Shawn saw Dominic’s nanny.The woman as she had served Lady Elizabeth wasn’t the happiest upon seeing Shawn, always frowning and always appearing as if she was displeased. It was difficult to say what the woman was thinking whenever she glared down at him but Shawn was sensitive enough to understand how he wasn’t liked.Shawn stepped aside when the nanny came only to crash and fall to the ground as the nanny had bumped into him.Falling to his knees, Shawn was confused and groan in pain. “Martha,” whispered the maid beside her. “Let it be. How dare a kid like him cry when our young master had never cried for himself!” Martha huffed, angered as she had been close to
Dominic felt as if it had been years since he heard anyone mentioning Rose’s name and was never expecting for Shawn out of everyone else to remember her. Dominic grabbed Shawn by his arms and his face filled with a deep frown, “You said Rose.” “Yeah, that blonde girl, your fiancee,” Shawn responded, looking at him in confusion as his brother suddenly appeared shocked as if he had grown new heads on his neck. “You remember her?” Dominic asked again, feeling dubious.Shawn wondered what he meant and nodded his head, “It’s hard to forget her when she was the one who had changed you this much and she stabbed me, remember?”“No, you don’t know?” Dominic became confused, “Rose used a forbidden magic. She seemed to have made a contract with a demon and for the curse, everyone has to forget her.” “But I remember her,” Shawn tilted his head, understanding that he couldn’t see the curse around Dominic which also mean that Rose had contracted with a demon so she could get rid of his curse. “B
Starvos frowned hearing Isaac’s name, also knowing how Isaac was a dangerous bastard who was always thirsty for blood and was out there to kill. It wasn’t strange for him to this time planning on killing them using creatures from Hell. Starvos turned to Eston who was still whispering a spell and asked Mona, “What kind of serpent is it?”Eston who could hear his question replied instead, “It is one of the biggest one in Hell. Its body is covered by poisonous scales that could melt a human’s flesh just by a single drop. Its also a vicious eating and always hungry, meaning it would go for any beings around it to fill its stomach.” “It’s a creature that everyone wants to avoid the most, usually it would be difficult to summon them but knowing Isaac and his magic, this would be easy,” Eston continued again, clicking his tongue as the neutralization magic he used didn’t work, “This is terrible, I don’t know how long he had imbued his magic into the circle for but it’s certainly not going
The serpent’s head appeared from the ground, causing for a large storm to appear that immediately caused for the entire Essex to shake. Even the members of the Orders who had came to the castle to kill the King and the Queen, as well as Isaac who had turned out to be the sorcerers who had hypnotized the current figure of the king and queen to manipulate them. Isaac walked down the castle’s gate. Upon seeing the leader of the Orders a smile appeared cruelly on his lips. His purple eyes was brighter on his left as he looked at the true King of Essex who had hid himself away from others so that no sorcerer would kill him. “You are that coward aren’t you?” Isaac pointed toward the older man who stared at him with a look of disgust. “The ancestor of the first Queen of Essex, the only one who bear her blood. If I kill you then, he would be free.” “Be on your guard,” the man said, knowing well that the aura of Isaac was that of a demon rather than a black sorcerer.“Your name, yes I know
Back in the castle, Shawn walked into the room that once belonged to Dominic. He had entered first as he was the only one who had kept the key to Dominic’s room. Upon entering after his younger brother, Dominic found that nothing had been moved from his room. “I thought you would at least looked around to search for my possessions and destroy them,” Dominic said for Shawn to turned his face at him with a raise of his eyebrow.“Why would I have to do that? As you know. I only planned to kill you as you have hurt me, I don’t care much about what you have. I know there are some things that I want to find an answer of from you but I also knew that this room won’t have those answers,” Shawn looked at the empty room that only have things that are needed for one to survive, such as the books and the furnitures. There were no pictures, there was nothing that would remind anyone of a person’s presence inside the room. Shawn also knew of Dominic’s habit of sleeping anywhere beside the castle,
Dominic didn’t manage to look behind quickly as the only thing he could think of was to chase after Rose. He was startled when he saw how Jeremiah managed to bring himself to stand again and tried to attack him by swinging the sword to his body. Dominic frowned and in the last moment he managed to avoid the deadly sword that almost slashed his neck. A small wound opened from his cheek and blood dripped out like a teardrop to his jaw. Shawn then yelled, “I will take care of him. You can go after Rose!” Dominic bite his lips and nod his head firmly. He dashed toward the door but didn’t leave immediately. He made sure to stop at the door and turned his head at Shawn for a while. “Thank you,” Dominic whispered out and pulled a smile even though there was a faint frown of guilt between his strong forehead. Shawn didn’t manage to answer as he left before he could manage to form a word from his shock. The younger brother could feel his heart wavering hearing for the first time how his o
