Now that they know the food and drinks were poisonous, Dominic had quickly alarmed the servants to do whatever it cost to stop bringing in more food to the party hall. It would have been foolish to believe the words of someone who they aren’t well acquainted with but Dominic believed in Rose and the gut feeling that he had been having this entire time. Something was wrong in this party. Someone who aren’t invited had waltzed themselves in their house. Entering the party again, Dominic took one of the wine that the servant had brought back to the kitchen. To avoid suspicion, he then said aloud, “Ladies and gentlemen, may I have a little of your attention for now?” Everyone’s eyes fell to him at once. Dominic didn’t have to shout too loudly as just one word from him had brought a stop to the conversation in the room. Thankfully, the King’s and his people had not arrived, making this easy for him, “Truthfully, my beloved grandparents have been preparing a little surprise for us. Today’
Annoyed by Dominic's provocation, Natty rushed forward, throwing his scythe but the straight attack was too simple for Dominic to see. He easily dodged it only to feel his cheeks grazed by a cold blade. When he pulled away, his hand settled on his cheeks where he could feel blood from it. Dominic frowned and looked back at the scythe that appear to be holding a magic that could harm him. "Let's see if you can truly take care of two sorcerer alone," Natty screamed out his laughter that was so sharp to the point Rose had to cover her ears. The fight began again, this time there was not only Natty but the man on his left who looked as crazed as him. They both had rushed after Dominic using the same weapon. It was hard to believe that any of them are human with how fast they are that they could keep up with Dominic's superhuman speed. The moment the scythe fly toward him, he managed to avoid the one near his neck only to feel the blade had grazed his knee. Dominic who was cornered had
Rose thought that this was her chance. To add, this woman needs only her help once which she was sure she could seeing that the woman had also helped her by protecting her and Dominic. Carefully settling her hands on the woman’s, she then found the woman smile sadly. While her lips were curled upward, her eyes were filled with sadness. She couldn’t help but reached out her hand, settling it on the corner of the woman’s eyes as tears had appeared there. By the time Rose come to realization, she noticed the woman had disappeared, leaving her alone as though from the beginning she had met no person in sight. Rose looked back at her hand that had just held the woman’s fingers not long ago. She wondered what had changed in her as she couldn’t feel anything changing inside her, as though nothing happened. She wondered if she has truly a power now but had no time as Dominic was pushed to the corner even more by the sorcerers. Running back to the corner of the party halls, she found Domini
Starvos weakness was Elizabeth and it was clear that everyone knows this. Despite being so tough and strong that even the most frightening monster was in front of him, he was always unfazed. He was never ill either except for that one week after he found out Elizabeth had left him.She had left him with a single paper that was called as her "final goodbye."Starvos who had been over the moon for their wedding couldn't help but check the guests invitations once again. The party hall that had been decorated with her favorite blue flower and every lovely that match her. All he wanted was a day for both of them to remember deeply to their deaths. In truth, both Starvos and Elizabeth had never told openly to each other the profess of love, as Starvos believed she was just shy. From the time they were engage until the day before their weddings, he had never once heard unwillingness of marrying him. She had never shown sign even after the human came to their lives. They enjoyed each other's
Starvos who had stepped forward scared her more and more. It was the same fear one would have when seeing a person who was presumably called dead coming back to the living. He was standing as though his organs hadn’t been destroyed by the poison. The blood stains were still there yet he looked fine. “Impossible! Impossible!” Betty shouted in fright. “It makes no sense! You were dying! Then why are you alright now?! This makes no sense!” Starvos didn’t reply and instead grabbed her by the wrist. Betty who was too surprised to know couldn’t help but lower her guard. Her wrist was shattered to powder at once when Starvos tightened his grip, causing for her to release her grip on the scythe she held. As the loud clank echoed from the falling scythe, Starvos picked them up in a languid movement. “You! You are not a simple werewolf!” She shouted, trying to remove herself from him but his tight hold was too strong for her to break away from. She screamed again, “No one told me about this!
Rose prepared for the impact of his finger on her body, still scared at the thought she would be his slave. But she couldn't move and Dominic was badly affected by the poison that made it impossible for him to protect her. Much to her surprise she could feel a hand pushing her behind for Natty's hand to fall on Dominic's shoulder instead. The sound of flesh being burned sharply sizzled next to her ears. Rose's green eyes shivered in horror as she saw how Natty's hand had come to a stop at Dominic's skin. She quickly pushed the man away, going beside Dominic as not only was he suffering from being poisoned he had also suffered another magic from the sorcerer. She held her hand over his wound, wishing for the wound to disappear as though chanting her wish in a form of magic. She hoped she could revert what had happened but she couldn’t. Her magic just won’t work as she wished, frustrating her. But more than that she had fallen into panic state where she didn’t know what she should do.
Rose couldn’t describe the reason for the man’s trust in her but she didn’t feel flattered at all. Her heart was heavy at the thought of how Dominic was running out of breaths. She had questions she needed answer from but she didn’t want to ask it now. She was pretending to inquire the sorcerers questions just to push the time longer. After closing her eyes she then said, “Let me talk to him again.” Natty shrugged his shoulders, simply letting her as she had no more path for herself to escape as she had reached the wall. Rose bent down to hold Dominic’s hand and she whispered gently beside his ears while holding her quivering breaths, “Everything will be alright. Everything.” Dominic couldn’t voice out his words again as the poison had taken his ability to speak. Unhesitatingly Rose leaned forward and kissed Dominic on his lips, startling the sorcerer who quickly pulled her away. This was suicide! She had kissed Dominic whose blood had been covered in poison. It was no different t
Rose almost thought that she had gone crazy from the poison that she drank or that she had lost her mind from the terror she’s been receiving from these sorcerers who were after her life. But she was certain she was still sane to know that what she had seen was true. She bite her lips. If the curse comes after Dominic, does that mean it wants to kill him? They came here happily after finding out that he was never cursed for being a werewolf only to find out that the truth is, Dominic was truly cursed. Rose bent down to take Dominic near to her, letting him to rest on her leg while she wiped away the sweat from his forehead. Her body had lost strength that she couldn’t move. She then looked at the woman again who only watched her as though she was some kind of a ghost. “Then do you know how to fix this?” She questioned in a heartbroken tone. Rose wasn’t dumb. She could tell to end such a terrible curse there must be an extreme price to be paid and the woman’s face confirmed to her fe
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. Now Essex fee
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. She
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. My heart is beati
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
