Quote: “When you’re alive you wish to die but when you’re dead you wish to live,”— Akhazan. ******************** All that Rose wanted was a chance to protect herself, a chance where she could protect Dominic and her own self. But it seemed to be impossible now after seeing that she couldn’t use her magic. Barlene smiled and patted her back, “But you know I do have a way that would help you from being captive by your magic so you can use another source of power without using your magic!” Rose’s eyes widened and sparkles of happiness filled her eyes. She didn’t believe what she heard and felt as though her hope had been lifted up by Barlene’s words. “You do?” Rose eagerly questioned. “Yes, it’s not a method known but I heard that there are indeed sorcerers who couldn’t use their magic. Thus why they learned of another method of using magic which is by borrowing magic.” “That’s great, I never thought of that option,” p
The man’s eyes was purplish as he looked at her. His silver hair threaded down appeared like a doll. He had a gentle smiling face but knowing what person he was put Rose on an immediate guard. Upon hearing Josephine’s name, her eyes narrowed down sharply. She glared at the man, “What do you know about my sister?” She took a pause as she asked, “Did you take her away?!”Rose could feel the tension raising around her as the people who had guarded his carriage immediately snapped their eyes toward her, displeased that she had raised her voice to the master. But to Rose’s eyes currently he appeared no different than the kidnappers who had took her and her sister away years ago. Mona also looked at the Master beside Rose, realizing that the master looked at her once as though he knew immediately who she was despite her being disguised enough for Barlene not to notice her at first. The master turned away back at Rose as he spoke, “Enter the carriage. If it is your sister who you are worr
The master couldn’t believe the stubbornness of Isaac. They both knew that Isaac hadn’t purely took his actions because he wanted all sorcerers to live equally. The master knew that all Isaac wanted was a praise which he did gave. But as times goes on, Isaac became more greedy, resulting for him to take crazier actions. The master stepped away as he closed his eyes, saying, ‘Maybe it is the time for me to punish you,’ he paused and added, ‘I cannot forgive what you did or allow you to hurt more innocent people.’ Isaac was shocked to see there was no more kindness from the master’s eyes. The same man who had saved him from his damned life, the man he admired, and the man he would die for at any given moment, didn’t seem to need him anymore. Isaac shook his head, ‘I can fix this,’ he insisted. ‘I am not wrong. You just have not understand my view.’‘What view is there for me to understand if you kill Josephine?’ The master shook his head as he had gotten tired of Isaac’s explanation
The master was the first to step out before he offer to Rose to get down as she was still inside the carriage. Rose broke her gaze from the mansion and stepped down, rolling him. From behind she noticed that his hair might appeared white to some people but she was certain she didn’t see it wrong and that it was indeed a silver colored strands “Are you disappointed?” Chuckled the master after seeing her eyes that couldn’t tear away itself from his house. “I’m sorry what?” She asked as she couldn’t understand his question. “My mansion isn’t the biggest. Of course that is if you compared to the other mansions you saw back in your place. There hadn’t been any left land for us to build house and I’m glad to give more space for my people instead.”Rose quickly raised her hand and shake them, “No no, of course not. I was not comparing your house to anyone… I was just surprised that you have colored your house black.”The master turned his head to his mansion that was almost completely pi
Dominic’s knuckles had turned red. His heart felt an indescribable worry when he had knocked on the door but heard no response coming from Rose. He couldn’t believe the keen sense of smell that he always had failed him too when he tried to locate her by scent. He tugged her by her wrist, pulling her body to his embrace. A soft sigh escaped from his lips, one that was filled with worry and concern. “I’m sorry,” whispered Rose. She could feel his loud heartbeat upon her face that rested on his chest. She could tell he was so worried that he almost lost himself in the fear of losing her. Dominic pulled away and shook his head, “No, I didn’t want you to apologize to me. I was only worried that when I am not with you.. especially in Essex. Back in Agios I still could breathe a little, because I know you will be there with the others save and sound. But in Essex where everyone hates us, I always worry that one day you will get hurt.” Rose gently caressed her hand, bringing it up and do
The next afternoon, Rose went back to the city of the sorcerer along with Mona. Before they arrived, Rose carefully studied Mona’s face. The last thing she wanted to happen was for Mona to feel burdened to come with her. She said, “Are you sure you want to go back here?” “You are worried about me getting the punishment aren’t you?” Mona questioned, giving her a smile. “Don’t worry I came with the mind of accepting whatever punishment that the Master wanted to give me. With the years that passed, I am also sure that his anger toward me have lessened now. If not, he wouldn’t have let me go yesterday.” Rose was also glad that the Master turned out to be a person with a kind heart. He didn’t at once put a heavy punishment on Mona, much to their relief. She wondered if he knew about what happened to the King and Queen of Essex as well.. Meanwhile as Rose entered the city of the sorcerer, Dominic sat down at the imperial castle. In front of him was his younger brother Shawn who had mad
Isaac appeared from behind them. He didn’t allow his cloak to slip from his face and Dominic knew it wasn’t because he was embarrassed of his own face. But when Isaac’s hand extended forward he could see the burning wounds all over his forearms.“Mr. Dominic,” Isaac called up, “I don’t know you much personally but I always have hated you since our first meeting back in the forest.” Dominic shrugged his shoulders, “I don’t know you either but I am positive that I wouldn’t hesitate to slice you across the neck now.” Isaac’s smile had fallen as he looked at the arrogant werewolf, “You don’t know anything do you?” He chuckled as the werewolf wasn’t even aware of the dark creatures that hugged him so closely as though they had became one with him. Starvos narrowed his eyes, feeling that the sudden turn of event becoming dangerous for Dominic. “What do you want then brother?” Shawn was the one to speak while looking at Dominic. “If you really knew from the beginning that this is merely
Back in the city of the sorcerer was Rose who had re-entered the city. She had just entered when she saw the same tall man who had called her from the library the day before to meet the Master. Seeing the man whose face seemed sour upon seeing her, she noticed that they had been waiting for her. “The Master had been waiting for you,” said the man, confirming Rose’s guess. Mona rolled her eyes seeing the man, “I have to say your face had never changed Eston.” Eston looked back at her, his face looking worse as he saw her, “I don’t talk to criminals.” “But the Master said that I’m no longer a criminal,” Mona raised both her eyebrows, “Just say it directly that you hate me.” A sigh escaped from Eston mouth as he nod, “Fine, I will say it to you myself. I hate you.” “Ouch,” Mona rubbed her chest but Eston didn’t care about her reaction. He simply turned away and brought them to the carriage, leaving them to enter as he rode the carriage with the coachman instead. Rose wondered wh
