“Yes,” Rose whispered. She stood up beside him. Holding the lantern in her hands, her eyes closed.

There were many things that she was worried about. She was worried of her sister’s safety. She was worried about her parents. She was concerned of Dominic’s relationship with his family but all she thought when making a wish was only one.

She only wanted for the most beloved man in this world who had meant treasures in her life to always be surrounded by happiness and protected from any dangers.

She poured her simple wish to the lantern. Even though she wasn’t sure if the lantern could grant her wish, she hoped that it could at least helped for her wish to be heard by the angels and god above.

Dominic watched her long lashes that were closed. As she made her wish, he had also made his. Like Rose, he doesn’t believe in making wishes. He couldn’t put his trust on an inanimate object when some of his wishes wouldn’t take place until he endeavored to make it to reality. But he didn’t see

    Rose looked forward to find Dominic’s back as he talked with the coachman before turning her head back to the woman who continued to smile while looking at her. She decided to continue talking with the kind woman, “Yes, it’s my first time. Are you a local here?”“I have spent all my entire life in Agios,” she responded gently in a smile. “I see that your lover is waiting for a carriage? I know someone who could help you if you would want one.”Rose respectfully shook her head, “It’s alright, I think the coach should arrive soon.” While the woman was kind, Rose wasn’t naive enough to agree with anyone’s invitation. She knew how dangerous it is to trust a stranger. “Well, that’s a shame. How about this instead?” The woman extended her hands, “I learn a few tricks. I don’t know if you believe it but would you like to try and read your future?”Rose blinked, feeling a sense of déjà vu. This wasn’t the first time she has someone who wants to read her future, isn’t it? She recalled how Dom

    Sounds of crackling rings in the room and the uniform drop of water continue drips from the sink disturbed her sleep. Josephine opened her eyes slowly, looking at the ceiling above her where it was painted white. She stared at the empty space for a long time that almost felt like hours. She didn't seem to be in her mind as she was confused of where she was. She threaded her memories, then recalling how she had witness a kidnapping and the silver haired man who suddenly appeared before her, putting her to sleep!Where was she?! Josie jumped from the bed at once, pushing away the thick duvet that had covered her body. As her feet landed on the cold floor, she looked to her left where she didn’t notice the small creature that had been waiting for her to wake up from her dream. “AAAAA!!!” A loud scream erupted from Josie’s lips as she fell backward to the bed, staring at the moving doll that stared its wide blue eyes toward her. The doll was made from porcelain. Its creamy skin gleamed

    There was nothing for Josie to debate. The silver haired man wasn’t just strange, he was crazy! She didn’t know how he had made her fell asleep at once or how did the doll able to move its limbs as if its alive but she was certain something terrible would happen if she stays here. Why would someone put a window over the walls? It was as if he was trying to confine something inside the house, frightening her. As she tries to find the way out, Josie heard the click of footsteps and quickly hid herself beside the glass case on the hallway. Her breaths began to stifle as she heard the sound getting louder, signaling the person who was walking nearer. A sigh could be heard from the same person, “Not here.”“Not here?” The other man asked. Turns out there wasn’t only one person but two! Or perhaps more as Josie heard the additional footsteps to the group. She gulped, feeling the urge to run away but felt that she shouldn’t leave now. “Where is that girl?” Clicked the tongue of the second

    Panic surged through Josie’s nerves as she could feel time ticking when the men’s footsteps grew closer to her. Running away from them, she looked around to find a door. Quickly opening the door, she had led herself inside, finding that the room was empty with three bookshelves that covered all the three sides of the room except of the door. She looked around, thinking where she could hide herself as the room was too small for her to hide and directed her eyes to the boxes located near the bookshelves which contained old tattered books.“Maybe she’s here?” The voice of the men grew closer when Josie pushed her back to the door. She panicked as she knew the men would search into the room as it was the only room that had been left open. She began to rethink her choices, regretting she didn’t choose to hide inside the old prison cell instead and perhaps she could escape from their notice. But knowing she didn’t have time, Josie jumped into a box that were empty. Her breaths tightened a

    Gulping down her nervousness, she stepped down the staircase. She didn't know how deep it would be and could only go blindly. Fortunately there was the light coming from the top of the staircase, she thought to herself. At least this allow her to look deeper to the staircase that rolled in front of her. This should help her even if it was for a little—Josie's thought was cut off as the door behind her moved on its own and shut itself, startling her. Looking at her back, she was surprised to see how the door had closed itself. She had truly come to a haunted house! She screamed in her mind. She wanted to run away but how? There was no other way for her other than to proceed forward or to walk back. Slowly dragging her feet up, she tried to open the door that had decided to lock itself. She frowned as no matter how much energy her frail hand used to push the door it was unmoving. She tried to search for a lock or a door knob to no avail. She clicked her tongue, using her hands to

    Isaac had clearly hired men to go after Josephine. Right before he had left, he had placed an item that she always brought which would be similar to a tag that would tell him where she is located at, allowing for those men to follow and hunt for her. He didn’t expect for someone who would look so similar to Josephine based on his master’s description. He took a moment of silence before bowing his head and leaving the room to find the bodies of the man that his master had took care of. Upon reaching the hallway, he found that it was indeed the four men he had hired. Their face was spared as their chests had been stabbed, making it easy for him to make sure it was indeed Josie who his master wanted to find for.But why?!Isaac had a bad feeling. He sped forward and bent down to find the item he had given toward the men which was a locket that would glow upon the time he got closer to Josie. As the locket was able to show direction, it was easier for him to follow her.Josie who saw the

    Josie had not noticed what was wrong. She wasn't close enough to Cain to know while he was a cold man he wouldn't have brushed aside her questions thoughtlessly. She didn't know either that truthfully he has a scar on the back of his wrist that didn't appear when he had pushed aside the bushes that covered their path, neither was the fact that Cain was behaving strangely."Followed me?" She questioned again, still oblivious, "As I said, I thought you were asleep. Did you woke up when I was taken away by them?"Cain didn't respond that had her to hurry near him. "Wait, Cain," she called him for him to finally stop his hasty steps. She sighed out of relief as he finally took concern of her. He then turned his face with a deep frown making Josie to look at him in baffle."I know I'm slow but you don't have to look that angry..." she whispered to herself. "You do know that I was just kidnapped, don't you? I don't have much of energy. So while I know you are worried that I would be taken

    Dominic walked back to her side as he noticed how she was out of it, “What’s wrong darling?”“Nothing… I just suddenly feel an ache in my heart,” Rose responded to his words truthfully, having him to gently caress her back. “Don’t worry, I assure you it won’t hinder our plan for today.”Dominic sigh and shook his head. He leaned forward, kissing her forehead and then her lips. “No Rose. You come first, before this event or even me. It’s only a ball party to show everyone that I’m still alive.”Rose smiled upon hearing how he make light of today’s ball when even the King had been invited, “You do know your royal cousin is coming today. If I suddenly become absent on today’s event, I will only put mud on your name.”“If as my cousin, he couldn’t understand that you are ill and instead blame you, then I will gladly stop calling him my cousin,” Dominic stayed firm with his choice, as to him Rose was far more important than anything. “So convince me that you really are healthy before we go

    The guests had filled the entrance of the castle faster than how a fire would spread. Colors filled the white walls as not a single place inside was missed from being decorated. Some of the guests gladly greeted Dominic and his wife, Rose. They had acknowledge her soon and even called Dominic “duke”. As soon after the incident, Dominic ruled out is father’s death and take over the duchy, being the new ruler of his fief. “Congratulation on your marriage, I apologize for being late with my words of happiness, Duke Dominic,” said one of the guest, Mr. Hanggs. “It’s nice to see you too, madam Rose.”“Pleasure to meet you,” Rose greeted the man’s words back. “How is the land now to you, Mr. Hanggs?” Dominic asked the wise man who seemed to be quiet. “It does feel different now. I gradually found people who could suddenly fill empty barrel with water as miracle instead of fearing them. I’m also glad to see how wise our King is as he had rooted off all the corrupted royals.

    The ground shook and the impact of the explosion launched both Dominic and Rose backward. When Rose couldn’t hold him tighter anymore, she almost slipped from his back and fell. Seeing that, Dominic changed to his human form, capturing her body even though he was on air and shielded her in a tight hug as they roll down across the cold floor with a harsh thud. Both Shawn and Gallahan was thrown backward. They tried to nail their feet on the floor to no avail as the extreme explosion would had destroyed the entire land if not because of the shield that Gallahan had perfected for years from his life. The entire world turn black for a moment and by the time it turn brighter again, Shawn saw Gallahan who had sprawled across the floor and Balbazor who had been reduced into a scorched human corpse. Even after that however, Balbazor didn’t stop moving. He crawled with his body like a snake, disregarding how his fingers had been turned into ash. No one could ever see his features anymore, o

    Gallahan faced off Balbazor alone. It was a crazy feat to not even die after receiving the harmful attack that was made to eradicate humans and Gallahan’s performance so far have shocked everyone including Balbazor himself. “You are agile,” commented Balbazor. “But if this tentacles weren’t around me, I would have destroyed you in seconds by now.” “Making excuses now? When you killed my family with your curse, you were extremely silent. I’ll put that mouth of yours to rest too,” Gallahan quirked a smirked, urging anger and fuming Balbazor. The ancient demon opened his mouth again but this time, Gallahan had a smarter option. Rather than shielding himself, he rushed forward. Balbazor smiled, thinking how foolish this human is for coming on to him face to face but he was startled as he saw Gallahan had dodged his previous explosion attack. This time, Gallahan murmured a spell and a sharp blue light appeared from his hand which went straight directly to Balbazor’s thick neck. The an

    “Brother, are we not related?” Young Shawn’s voice echoed against his ears. Dominic looked down at the child that had overheard the conversation of the adult. Gently he wrapped his fingers around his brother’s little ones and gave him a gentle smile, “Does it matter? Nothing will change even if we aren’t related, you will always be my brother.”Back to the present, Dominic found himself yelling at Shawn’s name as Balbazor had thrown a powerful magic at them. Rose’s eyes snapped open, showing the glistening green eyes of her had changed into purple. At the same time she uttered her spell, the wall broke. Dominic took no chance. He jumped from the staircase, landing down his two feet as a wolf and ran after Shawn. Surprisingly, Gallahan had stood in front of Shawn, shielding them both from the explosion. “I told you to stay away child!” Gallahan yelled to Rose who had rebuilt the wall.“I can help you ease the miasma,” she said, convincing the man only to see him frowning in disagre

    When Dominic and Rose arrived at the foot of the door, they found that the glow of purple light had stopped and was quickly greeted by the roar of a monster. “It’s Balbazor, the ancient demon,” Rose explained, jumping down from his body. Dominic shook off his fur and turned into his human form, standing right beside her fully clothed. Although there are other pressing matter she couldn’t help and pointed out, “You can be clothed now?” “Hm?” Dominic looked down on himself, “Right I got taught by the other werewolves how to do that the last time we met.” Rose smiled, thinking how surely the relationship between him and his father had evolved into something closer where they could teach and talk to each other eye to eye. Seeing the progress, she felt moved. “Well what is with this Balbazor?” Dominic pushed the door open for her, they both entering the mansion only to feel the ground beneath them shaking. “He is the ancient demon who had formed contract with the first sorceress.

    Gallahan wasn’t daunted by the fact that Balbazor was more than fifth fold of him, looking even bigger and monstrous. Shawn could feel that demon had no pity or hesitation on him, willingly killing anyone who stood on his way. For a moment Shawn questioned how he could ever kill this monstrous being in front of him, finding it abhorrent that his entire instinct yelled that killing it would be close to impossible. Even coming near the monster he could feel the brimming heat that would burn his skin. “Shawn,” Gallahan called his attention to make sure the younger man wouldn’t feel daunted and eaten alive by his own fear. Shawn then watched Gallahan who in comparison seemed to be eagerly waiting for this chance to come his hand. It was something he had been waiting for a long time… finally he could avenge the death of his family who all ended due this demon’s twisted curse! “I want to kill you, you won’t even believe how much I have been looking forward to this day.

    Dominic’s silver eyes also noticed the swirl of purple glow from the black mansion and turned his head again to the view before him. “What did you and the Master talked about?” Inquired Dominic while they run through the forest. “I told him that I will do something about the demon inside Isaac if he could help me end my curse but then he surprised me by saying that he doesn’t need help.” Rose responded. “I trust him.” “I do think he is someone who wouldn’t hurt his fellow sorcerer, you weren’t wrong in trusting him,” Dominic encouraged her. “But that sound too good to be true. He always ask people for payment if he help them.” “He did ask for something, he said to continue fooling my demon, Babylion,” uttered Rose. “I asked him why and he told me so he could use Babylion to kill that ancient demon in response.”“So this entire charade is because of him.” Dominic narrowed his eyes. They can’t seem to trust the Master completely, that man would do anything if it means to fulfil his

    Shawn’s eyebrows furrowed as he saw a bright purple glow appearing from the room where the master and Isaac had fought in. As the master’s hand had been touched, Isaac had fulfilled his promise to erase the curse that plagued the Master. This should have call for a celebration regardless of the Master’s wish of never leaving the cave. But by fulfilling Isaac’s promise, the demon in him finally demanded for his reward and that reward was… for him to manifest into the world inside his body!When something suddenly clicked in his mind, Shawn bubbled out of anger.“Damn it! Damn it!” Shawn yelled, finally realizing the big mistake that he made by trusting that damn sorcerer king! He rushed out of the room, questioning everything that the sorcerer had done. He first of told him to imbue his magic on the crystal ball as if doing that would help. He said that by calming Isaac, he could convince him to drive out the demon inside. He also claimed that he wouldn’t kill Isaac thus why he had

    Rose could feel the dark magic that entered her skin, crawling in such a disgusting way that she wanted to hurl but she couldn’t. There was something that was stopping her from moving and she couldn’t understand it as it felt slightly different when compared to the demonic magic that he uses on her. “Rose, make my life more colorful, won’t you?” Whispered Babylion. “Now go and betray your beloved. I want to see his face twisting in pain. From your memories, he seemed to the most fun to mess with.” Rose wanted to say no, she wanted to yell and disagree with Babylion’s words but she couldn’t move. She then had the sudden idea to play by what Babylion wanted and nodded her head slowly, agreeing that she would betray Dominic while her eyes turning unfocused, looking exactly similar as to someone who had just been bewitched.“Good, now play with me.” Back to the present, Rose run through her thins hands between her hair and pushed the golden locks to the back of her head, she sighed hea
