The Master chuckled hearing his words and shook his head slowly. The man bear an enormous power but he didn’t once appeared to be daunting. Instead he was a person with a lot of smile, “I know everything from Josephine.” Shawn’s eyes widened like saucer, “Josie?” Dominic raised his eyebrows hearing how Shawn had called Rose’s sister by her nickname. All this time, he thought that Shawn was only trying to influence Josie and to make her sway.. but maybe he’s wrong? “She ran away after you chased her from the castle and by chance, I saw her there. She seemed to be scared so she fell into a deep sleep for quite a long time. I took care of her during that time.” “Wait,” Dominic immediately stopped the Master’s words. “You know Josie so you should know Rose too, right?” “Rose?” The master looked back at his black eyes with his purple orbs. He tilted his head as if he was trying to think, “Can you remind me again of who she is?” Dominic immediately pursed his lips. If the Master don’
The Master who heard her words laugh. It didn’t seem to be his first time that someone had asked him such a question. He quickly reply with a wistful tone, “Well I love my people but I can’t see myself loving humans normally or other creatures as much as I love my people.” “How is that related?” Shawn inquired in confusion. “As an example, Mona could kill a human in front of me now,” The master pointed out. “I would never come to protect that human. I will protect Mona and perhaps talked to her so she would stop it but I won’t try to save them if she has a reason in holding a grudge against them and wanting to take their life.” Shawn tilted his head, “So why wouldn’t you help Isaac instead? Judging by how you love sorcerers more, wouldn’t you love him more too?”“Isaac is different,” the Master then said, “Isaac is a good sorcerer and a good person in heart but he wouldn’t mind killing his own kins now. In the past he wasn’t like this and I tried to help him and reasoned with him.
The Master chuckled hearing his offer but shook his head at one, “As I told to you before, I don’t need anything as a repayment.”Dominic nodded his head, although he understood that the Master was behaving kindly to him by asking no repayment, he still find it suspicious that a man of his power would bother helping him, especially when he wasn’t one of his people who he love dearly. But then again, he had found the Master to be a man filled with contradiction. He said to them of how he love his people and would close his eyes on whatever deeds they had done and would never hesitate to protect them with his life. If that was so, why didn’t he side with Isaac?While the man had earlier gave his reason, Dominic could notice he wasn’t saying the truth. Mona tapped his shoulder noticing how he had gone in a deep ponder. Turning his face, Dominic tilted his head for the woman to whisper, “As long as he is in our side, we don’t have to question his reasonings.” Dominic was half surpris
Rose didn’t respond. She didn’t deny either to hear his conversation that made it as a green light to Isaac’s eyes. As he was alone and bored, he decided to speak up, “You see, I’ve been in a situation where sorcerers are a mere pawn to humans. No one knew this but whenever there is a war, the king of Essex will send out not his people or soldiers but sorcerers who they could find. Our master did his best by hiding every one of us in the cave but that doesn’t always work when a sorcerer fell in love with a human.”Rose raised her eyebrows at the stories. She wasn’t interested but she was curious gradually from the informations that Isaac began to give her. “I thought most of them are killed.”“Some are killed some aren’t. Some who seemed to be easy to take control of and of course female is out of the question. My mother lost her first husband, my father due to it and since then she hold a big grudge against humans. She wanted to kill every one of them and due to that I was also subj
Rose who slowly narrowed her eyes tilted her face. She tapped her finger to the table and looked down on the ghouls, “So you will go to see him now?” “How do you know?” Isaac crinkled his lips. “You know, I always think that you are smart but I’m really surprised every time you guessed what I was thinking that I could almost believe you could see the future.” “You are much more of an open book than you think,” Rose looked back at Isaac and smiled wider. “I would like to see him too with you. He helped me a lot before.” “Sure but on one condition,” Isaac pulled out his index finger and showed them toward her. “I want you to not touch a single hair on Master. He’s precious and he should always be protected.” “I owe him a lot thus I won’t ever hurt him,” Rose gave her words, “You can rest assured with it.” “Alright then,” Isaac smiled wider, “Let’s go visit him when the sun has taken its rest.” Meanwhile, Dominic who had requested for the Master to find Rose’s location found how th
Dominic frowned, feeling an indescribable bad premonition. Was there more reason that simply her curse that had caused her to leave his side and for her to push him so harshly. He knew her well, and he also knew she wouldn’t have hurt his heart simply because she’s in pain That’s not the Rose he knew and although Mona said how someone could change after they had their contract with the demon, Dominic believe this wasn’t how Rose was. “You,” said Dominic as he stared at the Master and his purple eyes, “You will stay here?” “Of course,” responded the Master without a hesitation, appearing to have been waiting for this time. “I have told everyone to leave and I suggest for you all to leave as soon as possible as this fight between him and me wouldn’t be safe for other creatures in the surroundings.” Mona nodded her head as she also agree how this fight between the two strongest sorcerer will only cause for chaos that could destroy and ruin the entire land. It was better for them to e
“Then I will wait for you with Starvos but if anything dangerous had happened, I will come here,” Mona promised her words, not wanting that Dominic would get hurt on the process of bringing Rose back home. The Master spoke in between, “I will make sure he won’t get hurt by Isaac but as you know I won’t be able to have all my focus on the people around me and the most I could do is to protect one person.”Dominic felt grateful to the Master who was supportive to his idea and helped him convince Mona that it would be alright for him to stay behind. Dominic then looked at Shawn, “You should leave too. You switched side from Isaac and I’m sure he wouldn’t be happy about it.”“Yes perhaps,” answered Shawn with a shrug of his shoulders. “Maybe he would kill me and knowing how he hated betrayal, my best guess is the moment our eyes met he would immediately pull out my heart from my body.”“Gruesome,” commented Mona. “Yet you look so calm?”“Well he had never scared me and I won’t suddenly g
Dominic who saw how Shawn had set his mind completely on staying in the mansion knew there was nothing he could do to change his mind. Dominic finally nodded his head, “But remember if you ever get hurt, I will stop this at once and send you to the surface.” “Alright, sound fair,” Shawn responded, smiling wider as he was glad to know how Dominic had respected his choice. “Let us prepare,” The Master spoke up, extending his hand toward them, “First, Mona I will bring you back to the surface. Second, Shawn you can use magic so I hope I could acquire your help in activating a certain magic. You will be staying in this place.” “Where?” Shawn inquired, his eyes shuffling to find the Master who had went toward a room that was connected to their current room. When the door was opened, he was surprised to find that there was a wide empty room hidden behind a smaller room. Upon entering, Dominic also saw how there was a large crystal ball set on the podium, that seemed to glow when they ha
