“Dude! When will you stop this?” Levi the Envious opened his arms wide as he gestured the mess around the hunched Merlin. Levi continued. “You need to come out, you know. This is not healthy anymore.”
“Healthy, my ass,” said Merlin. He spat the words and continued his by burying his face on his arms as if he already gave with life. And for a necromancer like him, that was saying something.
Merline was slouching at the corner of his room. The lights were off but because of the enhance night vision of the Halfling alongside the pungent stench of the weeks-worth laundry set aside at the other corner, Levi the Envious was able to second guess the entirety of Merlin’s newly fetish for a hermit life.
Levi crossed his arm before Merlin. Sighing, he knew it would be near impossible to coax Merlin from his hermit’s life. He wanted to scream since Apollo Sky was also busy playing spy and guardian with Maleficent’s frie
“Have you heard anything about Lucifer’s son?”Gukasho gulped audibly before he answered his master. Though his master was calmly asking him, the fact that Aurora was sitting before them was anything but alright. Clearing his throat to clear up the clog in his parched throat, Gukasho willed himself to open his mouth. “The tracker I sent to follow him returned without his head,” said Gukasho. “The others suffered the same way and were sent back to us.”A silence followed Gukasho’s report so the goblin with a pounding heart dared to raise his head an inch to see what was transpiring in his master’s frenzied mind. But Gukasho swallowed his gasp as he wallowed why he had to be an awful curious goblin upon seeing the insanity swirling inside his master’s intense pair of glowing green eyes looking down at the meadow’s surface.Though the enchantment carved on the chairs was aimed for the Grand Duk
The once bright meadow dimmed upon the looming shadows of the gigantic wings of the serpent that once brought havoc upon the very heart of the Ambivalent World. Darkness grew in every heart of those who witnessed the bringer of chaos stepped foot onto the land of the beings loved by nature.As an answer to its roar that shook the branches of the great forest and the ancient tree of Methuselah, gasps elicited from every corners of the Ambivalent nomads followed by the gnawing fear of death that the winged serpent brought.A loud thud resonated the moment its heavy talons landed onto the meadow just a couple of meters away from the benches south of the ancient Methuselah tree. On instinct, the Ambivalent beings such as the witches, wizards, nymphs, dwarves, and fairies scampered away from their seats when they realized they were standing before the Calamity Dragon, a being that was supposed to be extinct and should not exist.“I have to go,” said Damon
“Your familiar is scaring the onlookers of the trial and making the court members uncomfortable,” said Michael the Loyal, “Or do you expect to change the tides of the trial because of your wicked threat?”Maleficent found it quite tedious talking to a creature or any creature at the matter beneath her so she jumped down from Hunger’s back. The thump resonating as her feet hit the ground was muted by her chuckle.‘Adjusting for their benefits so they won’t have to look up to me? Now that shit is something only an oh-so benevolent one would do. Am I becoming a saint now?’ Maleficent continued her small laughter from what she was thinking.Shaking her head as she chortle, Maleficent stood beside Hunger’s humungous head. “Oh, I am not here for your sob trial, our oh so great grand maester of the Trilateral Court,” said Maleficent. Bowing her head in a mock salute, she continued – not minding the
Gabriel the Faithful lost his chance to defend his case when the successive shattering blows due to the feared and revered holy flames made its contact to the target. On cue, Selaphiel and Gabriel turned their attention to the sea of holy flames dancing around the spot where the Halfling was standing a fraction of a second.“Wh-Why?”“What is happening?”“This cannot be right!”“Trickery! This is nothing but plain trickery!”Loud chatter erupted as when the next thing the onlookers knew, saved from the Grand Duke Beelzebub of the Nether World and Gukasho, was their mouths hanging open like their widened eyes and it was not because the Calamity Dragon stepped aside instead of protecting his master, but it was because the Halfling who was supposed to burn to cinders was still standing amidst the sea of holy flames.The magical and lush green grass of the meadow turned nothing but piles of ashes a
“I am pretty sure I came here to be convicted, not to witness a flock of goody two shoes angels burning down the Great Forest.” Maleficent’s voice was full of disbelief as if she was really aghast with the idea of the holy flames engulfing the entirety of the meadow and the Great Forest. Stepping forward, the ground trembled for her beloved familiar followed suit. With its wings were used like a cane, thumping its edges on the ground.“The Calamity Dragon! Oh no!”“Run! Ru–un for your lives!”“Fly, everyone!”“Hide!”“To the Great Forest! Let us hide there!”The frenzied crowd behind the Methuselah tree dashed away. Some were too caught up that they forgot they had wings yet they ran with their tiny feet. While the others who managed to remember that they could indeed fly through magic or wings, bumped into each other in the air – causing quiet a ruckus
“And that’s it? They just let you leave like that after being the bringer of chaos, girlie?” Matilda asked with her incredulous tone as if she did not believe what she said. After seeing her nod her head, Matilda was taken aback. “Oh, wow. That is not like the Trilateral Court members that I heard so much about. Many composed songs for how righteous the grand maester is. Dismissing is you is like putting aside his ethics.”Matilda, who was sitting at the railings of the Empire State Building, had her back against the night view of the city lights of New York. Her curiosity over what transpired in the sacred meadow of the Ambivalent world weighed more in her rotting brain rather than the glittering lights of the Human Realm which could be compared to fairy lights when they played at night.“Matilda, dude, the logic is a bit obvious,” said Levi the Envious. He was standing on the railing with his back against them. Hands in his p
“What? What is happening?” Matilda, who was being carried by Apollo Sky, shook her courier’s collar as soon as they landed on the rooftops of Transylvania Academy. “Hey, watch it!” The apprentice angel grunted after admonishing the squirming zombie in his arms, though his eyes were also trained to the myriad of students on the ground – forming in clusters as they whispered words of heresy. The chatters of the students from all sorts of races mixed, reaching the skies – reaching them. “What is happening?” Levi the Envious, who stepped out from the shadow portal next to Apollo Sky and Matilda, looked down from the rooftops they were standing on. Standing at the edge of the rooftop, Apollo Sky, helped Matilda down. His hand was around her waist the entire time until the latter was able to stand on her own and away from the windy edge. “Looks like something big happen. I don’t know. I can’t hear them.” He leaned his body more but still heard incoherent mu
“Don’t tell me to calm down, Levi!” Merlin snapped which made Levi the Envious raised his hands while shrugging his shoulders. The necromancer continued. “It’s the headmaster…”Matilda was the first one to jump at Merlin when the latter stopped from whatever he was about to say. “Fucking say it!”Maleficent and the others waited for Merlin’s news although Maleficent had already an inkling from what was happening.“…He’s dead.” “HEADLESS… THE VERY BEING who maintained this neutral zone safe from all the conflicts of the three realms, is dead and murdered inside the very school he wished to protect all his life. Mangled and degraded like a common traitor, our beloved headmaster deserved nothing but justice.” Ariel of the Benevolent Dormitory was crying and hiccupping in the monito
