“Will you keep standing aside?” Aurora’s voice echoed in my head then she appeared next to me as I watched hidden in a safe place. I followed Lady Markbill because I was worried. I didn’t want her to die. “Are you planning to pull the twin swords to fight her? You are in a big mistake here. Didn’t you notice how she didn’t even appear? The one who called you master and was proud of having you as one. You see they know this situation is because of them… The two of swords is the High Priestess special weapon, you can’t use it in her presence.”
“What? I didn’t know that. So I need a good weapon…”
“I can help you with that. You need to seal her if you want your beloved to come back. The High Priestess isn’t someone that needs to come back now.”
“Why are you doing all this? I think it’

NELDRISDYD:“Let’s have a talk! You might be strong now but I am too. I don’t intend to apply treachery and trickery to win this battle. Your army is no less than mine; I developed monsters worthy to rival yours. I made a pact with the Devil to have you back, don’t you see that?” the king spoke with a voice that seemed young. A voice that made me stay in the shadows for more than a few seconds. I stared at the orb that floated in front of me, left by Aurora. I was a side character in all this. Was I worthy to join her side? I should be there. Standing there and having my revenge…“You used human lives to make the atrocities you command. I applaud you, old friend. Don’t joke upon bringing me back! You know the Devil can’t bring me back. There no attornment in thousands years of pain and suffering! Even if I turn you into thousands of pieces, my rage wouldn’t subside. Do you know how

DAHLIA:Too much of the past for one to memorize…I literally jumped from my place like I was having a nightmare. I thought I was dead. The spear pierced my heart and I died protecting him… It hurt… It hurt so much… I was happy to know the future that he was still there waiting for me. My arms wrapped around my body, consoling me. I lost so many beloved people. The year I spent there made me realize so much. To think I was the one who pushed Neldrisdyd down that road. Where was Fredden? I needed to speak to him and Victor also… Oh, Victor was dead. I completely forgot about that.“I am sorry… I am sorry for putting you through all that. I didn’t intend to turn your lives into hell,” I cried.I cried for many reasons; one of them was I knew the future I was going into was one where Victor wasn’t there. I met him in that past and grew to like him. He was the previous cr

DAHLIA: With a sudden golden movement, a dragon arched its great back. Instinctively, I hid behind a tree, avoiding any contact with its eyes. I didn’t know it was a dragon, a big one on top of it. In fact, I never dreamt such creatures existed. Until now, I believed only humans existed… Everything started with a letter, which I still had in my pocket; a note left by someone I never saw and nobody realized he left something for me. I pressed my hands against my mouth and nose, strangling any sound that may come out; I didn’t want to die, I cherished my life like a treasure and didn’t want to lose it. I confronted my sister Dina because I didn’t want to die. I didn’t have a choice. I know I did something cruel but I didn’t want to die. I didn’t have any choice… The dragon raised its head and sprang into the sky, wings wide with an unbelievable speed. I curled into a ball, wishing I could be smaller. It was night but I still closed my eyes. May

DAHLIA: I was in a cage. We were in a cage, like birds in captivity, meant to be sold. The cage I was in had sturdy wheels in the middle of an army of barbaric men, using giant axes as weapons. They were drinking and laughing as if slaves were the most normal thing in the world. Furthermore, I was horrible. I was like a lamp of burnt meat. My sister Dina used to tell me about the atrocities of the world: to remove any thought of escaping and she was right. I used to dream about the outside world and lie to make her at ease. I lied to everyone and kept my thoughts to myself. The night… Another sleepless night with the noises of females screaming… and there was another noise, a different one. It was a very distinct sound; a noise no one paid attention to… The slave trader was a man with a long beard. From all the men sitting here, he was the only one with a pipe and slightly noble demeanour; he pulled slaves from another group and put them around him.

DINA: Whatever personal misgivings we may have had, she didn’t have to escape. Like it or not, I had to accept she wasn’t here anymore. I was worried; she didn’t know anything about the outside world. We were at the bottom of the sea, surrounded by many traps and protections. And until the place she was in was known, travelled to, and safely arrived at, she was fully at the mercy of the unusual world. “This is all your fault!” Charles, an old man doing literally nothing all day, said to me, his voice shaking with anger. “Did you think we wouldn’t know what you were doing? Teaching her all that. Telling her about the outside world, if you hadn’t done it…” “If I hadn’t taught her, she would be already dead,” I interrupted. “Furthermore, none of you cared. Stop showing those faces like you truly wanted the good for her, shall I remind you how we ended up here? It isn’t a funny story to remember.” “She is right, Charles,” said Lilit

NELDRISDYD: «I know where the heart of gems is…” Cold dread coiled in my stomach. I peeked at the unfortunately ruined face once again before pretending to laugh. She grinned when the other nobles laughed calling her a crazy slave. My eyes automatically glared at her. Nonetheless, my silent rage quickly dissipated and I was taken back by curiosity; no one had ever spoken such ancient language. It was the first time I ever heard another tongue articulating it. What was more fascinating about it was the ability to understand all languages spoken in this world. It was a language I spoke as well but no one knew that. When I was young, Lady Markbill warned me to never speak with it; its words were an enchantment on themselves and no one would like it when the commandment made you do things you didn’t like. Unlike me, she seemed not aware of it. I observed her from the corner of my eye, her gaze moved from the floor to the hyenas and sh
Whisper of the stone heart Chapter 5
DAHLIA: I hate having to dress up like a man. Once again, my clothes were torn and the servants who saved me gave me new ones. The cotton shirt was too loose, the pants too big and the boots too uncomfortable. “Full-blown tempest, howling winds, crashing waves, lightning and thunder, this was the tale of the unbreakable gemstone that disappeared centuries ago,” I whispered to myself looking around me. I was back to being a slave again. The most surprising thing that happened to me was the recovery I faced; all my burnt skin healed and I felt good again. I thought about it since I opened my eyes, feeling alive. Was it because of him? The arrow he shot at me was the only thing that could have saved me. What was he playing at? That man was crazy. I made sure to not swallow the mad man’s pills previously because I didn’t need fake happiness. I saw how the slaves who died experienced stages of happiness. It was until the day of the hunt that

SAVASCUS: “Thanks for sharing the cell with me. To think all the other slaves are actually avoiding me. I’ll remember this; I won’t be helping them as an act of vengeance against them.” “Remind me of your name, please! I tend to forget it.” Amelia’s hands meandered softly, following the path from my neck, then she grabbed my shirt, tried to remove it but I slapped her hand away, softly. She moved to my breasts, touching them delicately. “I know you like it. It isn’t good to deny pleasures, Savascus.” She pulled me and released her glamorous charms. Knowing a succubus was troublesome; her body was on top of me and I felt hot, enjoyment rising in my heart and down my belly. I didn’t hate it and all the struggling thoughts faded as soon as her tongue darted all around me, especially my private part and chest. As the guards opened the door, I lounged on the wall quickly, my necklace resting at an insouciant angle, my

NELDRISDYD:It was an important day for me and for Mathilda as well; if Dahlia came back after doing what she did, she would understand that she aimed for this. I was always curious why Mathilda hated the Jamaerah; it seemed that it was because of all this. I could see, at the moment, her ambition and determination clearly; she accepted all the pain and didn’t change it for one bit, she even left people behind to make her snap possible. For her, it was again. Such a shame she wouldn’t watch the sight I beheld in front of me! Her shining silhouette on top of the castle was visible to my eyes. She had armour in the shape of a dress.I joined Fredden who was standing not far from the Palace’s gate, a horrified gaze following the army of evil spirits. “What happened?”“Huh?” his expression turned to surprise. “I think they messed up; I told them to not ruin anything but they still went at it.

NELDRISDYD:“Isn’t humanity doomed if you don’t unite? Dotoria is like a safe zone for humans who suffered outside of it…”“Don’t spout nonsense. Dotoria isn’t a dreamland. It’s hell for everyone and for better, it’s better to sacrifice the rotten minds to make a better place. Now, you who pulled me in this dimension, push me outside. I need to complete my mission.”“I didn’t pull you inside; it was Victoria. Even if I could do it, I wouldn’t. You are nothing to me to help you out. You can always wait for dawn to forcefully move back to your body. Such a shame! She pulled you here to make the last resistance she had fade. Do you know that, little Duke? You were the last piece that made her cling to this part of the world and after seeing you, she completely gave up. Doesn’t this make you have a little tenderness towards her?”“Deci

NELDRIDYD:My mark itched; I felt like half of it faded. Indeed, it was the case; half of my dragon mark had faded only leaving the other half. Did it mean she completely disappeared? No, I didn’t think so. I didn’t want to believe it. What was she fighting all this time?For someone who struggled so hard, I didn’t think she would give up this easily; I was certain she would find her way back. Such a shame I didn’t get from her where she was. However, it wasn’t a hard thing to guess; there was a huge laboratory under the Palace. For most Dotoria’s citizens, it was hard to believe such a huge space existed beneath them. Yet, it was there seemingly from the beginning of Dotoria. I was there in the past. The late Duke of Mizenth, my father, gave me up to the mad scientist for a year when I was six to conduct experiments on me. He wanted the dragon part on my body to disappear but it didn’t work. The ma

NELDRISDYD:I have been walking for a while inside this darkness; it was my first time coming to this kind of dream. Since meeting Dahlia, she gave me the vibes of someone I used to know; someone who died sacrificing herself for me to continue living. However, her sacrifice only made me lose sight of life and made me desire death like no one ever did. I wanted to reunite with her in the afterlife but meeting Dahlia made my plans go to an unexpected path; I wanted to keep living. But I was cursed and with a limited time.Unexpectedly, this dimension wasn’t bad; I felt like something pulled me in and I found myself between the shadows walking. It must have been something she passed to me too. Did she ever come here? It didn’t seem like it; she never spoke about something like this. The shadows had humanoid figures but instead of a shadow, there was a glimpse of the other side; the world I belonged to. It was already strange and weird. I

DAHLIA:I didn’t want to see it. I didn’t want to hear it.Nothing was worth keeping me for in this world; I was better off dying. The Duke rejected me and no matter how many taboos I put in front of me, they all end up chattering in front of what I experienced. I didn’t want to believe everything started with them. The Jamaerah knew of my existence since I put foot inside Dotoria and they manipulated my fate until recently. Wasn’t it in vain to struggle? Would it be better to put down the flame with my own hands?What was I? Who was I?Why did they give birth to me when I had no choice in choosing my destiny? I hated this life. The mad scientist had a similar face as Erasmus and they called him Erasmus number two. After welcoming me inside again, I didn’t remember being inside his laboratory; I only remembered being somewhere else where he examined me. That was right! He examined me, only that, then wh

NELDRISYD:“Wait a minute… You already know all that. I bet you know everything about the Jamaerah. Who told you about it? And since when you have been deceiving all of us. You wanted to cut her off to keep her from finding out about your plan. What is it, master? I already swore to follow you,” he bent down on one knee respective of the norm between a master and a servant.How did he find out? He was too clever; I felt glad he was my servant. “What do you think I am planning?” I lounged back on my chair behind my desk and eyed him, interested.He raised his chin, this time his gaze showing so much admiration. It was true; I forced my mind to keep everything away until the right time. Victor warned me several times about the risks and limits, that there are people between the Jamaerah who could see through thoughts like a glass of water. However, she was someone I never expected to exist and disturb what I pl
