“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
Dominic couldn’t understand why the Master was so certain that the true Isaac was a kindhearted soul. He had seen people who was kind became someone dangerous as life twisted their good side into evil. As he had seen Isaac, he doubted the man was purely affected by a demon’s influence and perhaps deep down Isaac had always been holding a dark side of his which he hid until the demon gave him the power.“I will show you,” the Master then spoken while looking at him as if he also knew what had came cross to the Master’s head. “If I turn out to be wrong then I will not hesitate to put him down.” Dominic knew the Master wouldn’t sacrifice the lives of his own people simply for one person even if was fond and sympathetic of Isaac. “Then what else would you like me to help you at?” Dominic inquired to the Master who then walked over to the window, bringing him by waving his hand. He then pointed at the dark lake that was near his mansion, to be precise, behind his dark mansion. “I want y
The sky above them was dark as the ghouls appearance caused for people to cry for help which had turned for the sky to also call for the gods to save them to no avail. Starvos who was in the surface gritted his teeth when another ghouls came toward him.He swung his sword and tried to cut the ghouls in half but as the sword hit their body, it turns into nothingness. He then heard the voice of his men yelling for help and quickly ran to help, kicking the ghoul by the head. “These things, what are they?!” Yelled his men. Starvos shook his head. He doesn’t know either this was his first time ever seeing creatures like these ghouls. When his sword try to cut the being into halves, nothing had happened as if their body had turned into gas and causing for him to hit nothing but the air. But the ghouls could attack them when they wanted and there would only brief time for Starvos to kill them when their body became tangible. “It is a creature from Hell,” Mona’s voice appeared that startl
Starvos who hated the idea of seeing people in danger didn’t felt easy seeing how the people around him was dying and how the dangers had taken the lives of hundred of people in a blink of an eye. “How do we go to the castle then? I can’t go through these ghouls as easily,” Starvos said, narrowing his eyes when he saw more ghouls arriving toward them. “Lights,” Mona said, “They can’t touch fire but they are scared of fire. If you bring them close enough near the light source they would also run away in that moment you could go through them.” “And if the case they attack, I could simply cut them through,” uttered Starvos whose smile became wider. “Sounds like a plan. But wait,” Mona who was about to move stopped as she met his silver eyes again. Starvos had a brow raised up, “Where is Dominic?” Feeling a little troubled, Mona could only point to the castle, “He would come soon to the castle too.” Giving Dominic as a reason only gave more push on the back for Starvos to go through
The water submerged him, hugging him closely as though they wanted him to touch the surface of the lake which was too deep even for his tall height. Dominic could feel the cold water entering his eyes as he had opened them. What had surprised him more was the beautiful face that appeared right before him. Rose! Dominic wanted to open his mouth and call her name but he couldn’t as the water had filled his nose, prompting him to swim back to the surface even though he hated to part with her.As his stubbornness made him stay inside the water, he felt her hands around his waist. Instead of staying inside the water, Rose had helped him to swim upward to the surface. They both exhaled the loudest sigh once they escaped from the cold embrace of the lake. His eyes widened as he turned his face to the side, finding Rose who had swam to the side of the lake and pushed herself back to the dry ground. “What the hell were you doing?!” Rose shouted at him, startling Dominic who hadn’t moved a
Rose’s eyes were as clear as the still water without a ripple. Her composure was perfect, her smile that she hold was somewhat cold and pretentious. She didn’t look at him with love as she always does, instead looking at him down as if she was looking at someone she hated deeply in her heart, someone who had ruined her life, someone who had haunted her. Dominic wasn’t used to such a gaze and even though she had uttered words that cut his heart into pieces before, it wasn’t as foreign as the gaze she had right now. “I don’t know you?” Dominic questioned her back with a faint scoff. “I know you better than anyone. I know how much you love your family, I know how you love to eat strawberries even though you always make sure I will also eat them because you thought I liked them as much as you do. I also know how many times you brush your hair in the morning, because you hated how it would turn frizzy from the wind. I know how you always hug your blanket to sleep. I also know how you hat
Dominic frowned and tilted his head. He couldn’t utter a word and it wasn’t because he couldn’t confidently reply to her words or to give her a reason for his action. It was because he was confused, completely confused of her words and was in a puzzle as he couldn’t understand what she had meant by him leaving her. That day… “I was with you,” Dominic said firmly, frowning tightly. “I was always with you.” “You were not,” Rose said, firmly standing on her words as well. “I pleaded you to help me but you walked away. You did.” “I didn’t! What are you saying, Rose?” Dominic was in disbelief. “I was with you in every steps that you take when you fought against Hannah Maury. I was there with you when we both fell and when she tried to kill us and when we failed.. I was also there for you until your blood activated the magic circle underneath us. Don’t you remember that we slept that night together when suddenly you disappeared?”Rose blankly looked at him. It was as if her heart had bee
