Rose felt her heart thump. The name on the paper was… Hannah Maury. A name that she wasn’t familiar with but know. After all… that family name belonged to her own family. Rose turn her fingers into a fist and stared at the maid with her eyes fierce, “Who is Hannah Maury?”

“Someone from your family for sure. There are indeed other Maury Family but she is indeed from the same bloodline as yours,” the maid then smiled as if she had found something funny. “It’s odd isn’t it? For the world to be so small to the point that you could fall in love with someone whom your own family member had harmed.”

Rose felt her heart growing heavier to the point where she wanted to rip it out from her chest with how painful it is. She gritted her teeth, her tears burning her eyes.

“You,” she scowled at the maid, “You are lying to me.”

The maid felt a sudden zap on her hand and flinched as she lifted her hand and found a large wound across her wrist. The wound didn’t suddenly appear but came from Rose u

    Mona looked at her as though she was rendering her words. A part of her tried to deny what she heard, believing that she was only hallucinating. But she knew she didn’t heard it wrong. She knew it was the name of Rose’s family’s.“Do you know her?” Mona quickly asked, wondering if this person was someone Rose are well acquainted with only to see the girl shaking her head. “I think we should ask your parents.” Rose nodded her head. She felt as though a part of her body had been taken away from her, making her to lose hope. To know the person cursing Dominic was someone from her family made her heart wrenched. At the same time, to know the person had died and they have no other choice but to accept the fact the Fallen’s curse on him was incurable hurt her. She looked back at Mona who then let out a yelp. Turning to see him, she was surprised to see that there was blood coming down from Mona’s ankle, “Are you alright?” Rose quickly stood up, putting magic that would lessen her pain an

    After bandaging Mona’s legs, they both decide to find Mr and Mrs Maury, finding them as they were looking around the kitchen, still trying to find people they could aid. To their surprise upon seeing Rose, Mrs Maury almost I jumped from the place she sat down. She looked at her daughter, “Oh darling I’m glad that Miss Mona is also save.” “Mama,” Rose called up for Mrs Maury to smile in a question. Rose gathered her courage and look at her father, “Papa, do you know anyone who is called as Hannah Maury?” Mr. Maury who was holding to a plate immediately dropped what he was holding, looking shocked and speechless that she had asked for the one person he swore his family would never have to know. Mrs. Maury also looked surprised and they both stared at each other, feeling the want to keep silent but couldn’t as they fear they would lose their daughter’s trust on them. “Is it someone from your family, papa?” Rose asked again, hoping that by urging her parents gently they would answer

    Mrs Maury stared at Mona in amazement, “So there is someone who can actually read a person’s life.” “Right?” Mr Maury agreed in surprised. Rose who wondered if she could meet her grandmother Jane as soon as possible and to ask the woman about Hannah Maury’s lifted her face to her mother, “You know about someone who could read a person’s life?” Mrs Maury nodded her head quickly, “Yes. Actually it has something to do with your grandmother Hannah. She would always warn people around her of danger that would soon occur to them.” “Right and when I ask my father, your grandfather, he told me that she had always had the innate talent of reading a person’s life, in this case predicting her future.” Rose didn’t need to ask further question to find out that the woman had indeed use magic to find out about the future that would happen to the people around her… if she was able to put the curse on Dominic, then it was also safer to conclude that she is someone so powerful even amongst the oth

    Rose didn’t know if she should say yes. As she had seen by her own eyes how Shawn hesitated the moment she brought up the truth of how Dominic had never really hated him. In fact, Dominic wanted to treat him like his own younger brother. But at the same time, it was true that what’s drove Shawn to hurt Dominic was his hatred and jealousy. He hated how everyone had chosen Dominic except him and how he lived like a doll who always have to obey his mother’s words and orders. Starvos looked at Dominic and gave the younger man a pat on his shoulders, “But our enemy isn’t only him, right? There’s the other sorcerer too who is as strong as him or even stronger.” “His name is Isaac, Mona told me that she knows about him as he had formed an extremely powerful contract with a strong Demon,” explained Rose to which Dominic tilted her head at. “So hypothetically, if I do form a contract with a demon, I would gain a power that would be extremely powerful that could help me in all my need?” Dom

    The Fallens didn’t budge but deeply gaze at her. Their expression was frightening as no one could ever make sure of what emotions are hiding behind the horrifying purple eyes that appeared from the dark glob of darkness. Rose asked for them to talk face to face but she wasn’t sure if the Fallens could speak. However, she was certain that the creature could understand her as the Fallens aren’t essentially a curse but a creature that had been summoned for a curse. The Fallens slowly left Dominic’s side for a while. The dark glob moved across the floor, like a sort of liquid that stick together without touching its surrounding or leaving a dark trace.It then climbed over the chair in front of her as it slowly extended its body where the disgusting fluid-like consistency changed into dark long fingers. The creature then continued on morphing it body. In a horrifying way it started forming its arms before its legs. The entire change took less than a minute. It happened too fast for Ros

    The Fallen’s face darkened at once upon her threatening. She didn’t expect her words to immediate take an affect, knowing that creature of Hell love violence and didn’t seem to be scared of the thoughts of death. Much to her fortune, she noticed how the Fallens are rather scared of deaths and pain, claiming that he didn’t want to fail his contract to hurt Dominic for the fear of pain. She wondered if it worked, looking carefully at the Fallen’s purple eyes as he seemed to be annoyed. “You won’t be able to,” he said but Rose wasn’t quite lying. She was being truthful about her plan in erasing the Fallen for good. Requesting the demon she would make a contract with to kill the Fallens would also mean immediate death to him.“Don’t test me, I have the urge to do what others expect me not to,” Rose answered calmly. At least from outside, her face manage to not show any of her weakness when deep down her heart race louder than any galloping stallions. “What do you want?’ Demanded the F

    Rose wondered if her face had showed it all. But she was certain she had managed to pull her expression together, showing no unnecessary expression from her face. She find it surprising how quickly Dominic and Starvos was able to tell she had behaved oddly even though she tried not to. Looking at the carriage that left, Rose turned her body around, finding Mona who had been waiting for her as she leaned her back on the old oak tree. Mona stepped closer to her side, “You made up your mind?” Rose nodded her head, “Let’s visit her.” Mona who agreed held to her hand and in seconds they left their spot in a matter of a blink. By the time Rose’s green eyes opened, she had found herself standing right in front of her grandmother’s house, as they had planned. Mona still looked at her hand in awe where she had been holding to a magic circle. She then whispered to Rose, “Indeed while I might have the knowledge of magic, I still cannot compare to you. Your magic is tremendous.” Rose smiled

    Rose listened to her grandmother’s words closely, feeling herself relating more with her grandmother Jane rather than her birth grandmother, Hannah Maury. “Why did she made you feel scared of her?” “Everything about her,” answered Grandma Jane at once. “She was lovely as I said, friendly, but sometimes her emotions would get the best of her. There would be time when she suddenly have an outburst. There will be her standing still with a face filled with anger… it was frightening.” “Sound like an insane woman right there,” commented Mona again who thanked Rose who had passed her an apple. Rose hummed, “The fact that grandfather didn’t remember being with her that night and suddenly wake up is also strange. Grandfather dislike alcohol, right?” Grandmother Jane nodded her head at once, “That’s why things were odd back then. But then again, your grandfather remembered drinking that night as it was a party so he couldn’t be certain he didn’t black out that night and forgot everything.”

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
