"His disappearance was untraceable. It seemed he was helping a larger system," Simon announced. He strode nearer to Dominic and resumed, "All the souls he gathered for Mrs. Hamish were duplicates, unknown to her." He paused his speech, "Hunting him might guide us to our goal, don't you think?"Dominic waited. He thought for an instant, "I think it's time to stop by an old friend." He said, and Simon turned his head. It was dark, so Dominic took a cloak and stepped out of the room.___"The officials aren't performing their duties? What's the use of keeping them?!" An irritated voice yelled. The shivering young man before him could only nod his head as he strived to avoid the wrath which wasn't ceasing anytime shortly."Make sure awful reports don't show themselves, now go and correct them." The young man nodded instantly and recklessly walked out of the door.A few seconds laterThe door opened."Better make sure those reports are corrected before entering, 'cause if not-""Still hot-
Heads swiveled towards the voice which was owned by a man. Alexandra didn't know if she should be relieved or alarmed by the man's appearance. Green eyes, extremely pale skin, and short brown hair coupled with a long weird coat and shoes. He looks oddly identical to Dominic but older and bigger, and Dominic had long silver-blonde hair and his eyes weren't green."Dominus!" The girl blurted, the animosity in her eyes that was directed at her was now aimed at the man called 'Dominus' who didn't even bother to glance twice at the girl."Filthy catha," The man, Dominus strode as he mumbled. "I had no idea a catha dwells in this Mansion." He proceeded as he shifted his gaze and scanned the room."She's the reason why everything came to pass, the reason we all had to mourn... she needs to pay!"His gaze didn't leave the room as he examined it. "The priests are really slacking." He murmured with a bored tone. When his stare swerved to her, Alexandra rapidly shifted backward and diverted her
Still startled, Lexi spun gradually to peek at Dominic. His appearance ceased changing a few years back which was odd, and as funny as it seemed his style of dressing hasn't changed.She gulps softly,"Ah, That's- I mean I didn't know you were back." She laughs a little, nervously. She wasn't supposed to be afraid of her guard, but Dominic was different. A call from outside tugged Katherine's scrutiny and she went outside, Robert, the recreant, just took the jar-ed flower and left, but after throwing her an insignificant smile.Old Traitor!"The mistress, why didn't I know I had one?" His voice was deep and intimidating, something a guard shouldn't be showing to his Master.And as if receiving the courage all of a sudden, Alexandra held up her chin,"Don't leave before me again, Mr. Lambert, I could get you fired for your incompetence." She said with composure, raising her gown with her hands she stepped out of the cabin, leaving Dominic behind.Dominic just smirked, coldly. He shuffl
"What information did you find about the Ginnak?" Dominic asked Simon, the Ginnak was proclaimed to be found ten years ago, and until now the body it possessed hasn't been found. Since it's been ten years it also means its power would start manifesting, the Ginnak and the body it possessed had already become one. And that was bad news, especially to Dominic."Nobody has heard the news of the Ginnak since it was proclaimed years ago, and the new head of priest elected is very tight-lipped. It's as if a body wasn't possessed. It's quite strange, and knowing the Ginnak, it isn't something to stay too long without causing wreckage." Simon said, his eyes wandering around Dominic's room. Their aim hasn't been accomplished and it's almost time for him to leave Magnus's Mansion. No ample information was received throughout these years, now it's time to take matters into their hands."The new head of priests is quite calculating and cunning, he appears ordinary to everybody but with one look I
"Arrghh!" Alexandra groaned as she slammed her foot on a rock. Sprinting from home at night wasn't a good idea, but she had to, Karina was one of her few friends. She didn't even understand how she got past the guards, departing the Mansion unnoticed wasn't common. She held her gown up to prevent it from mud, she didn't bring any additional with her.The distance between her house and Karina's wasn't little, but she remembers the way through the backyard, and the backyard was the easiest footpath to get there quickly.Before she left she had noticed the maid from earlier fretting, and she was acting strangely. Her quivering fingers held something which she didn't know what it was since she was in a haste.To make her situation worse, she forgot the lantern she had said to haul with her. Everywhere was dark, well except the moon. She was sure the moon wouldn't shine the next day.After wandering for an extent, she finally caught sight of Karina's house. Lamps were lit everywhere and so
[Present]"Ivanna? Young Master Xander is calling you." Sarah softly patted Ivanna's face to wake her up. It was an early hour of the day, so Ivanna doubted what he wanted her for."Where is he?""At the Lachlan's study, it's located second corridor east.""Ok."Ivanna stood up from the cramped space she slept in and walked out of the room. Sarah was an early riser, no doubt.The path to Lachlan's study was narrow and a bit dark, but Ivanna was familiar with the routes of the mansion.As she stood in front of the study, she contemplated on what anguish thoughts were running through the young master's head at that moment. He was a psychopath."Come in," She heard a voice say when she didn't even knock. This bewildered her a little, she had forgotten how highly sensitive he was.She turned the handle of the door west and the door opened. The study was pitch black, however, the familiar scent of old made her feel at home. But not for long."Young Master Xander," Ivanna leaned as she gree
Southern empire.As night settled, Sarah contemplated what to do. She had no idea why young master Xander left her at Lachlan's household.With a mop and pail in her hand, she made her way toward the deserted study. It was said to be a favorite place of their granddaughter before she disappeared, which was then abandoned. She was instructed to arrange the study since her disappearance anniversary was fast approaching.It didn't scare her that the study was located in a secluded area, the path to the study was even dark. After being the first young master's pet for a long time, she could endure any scare.The door to the study made a screeching sound as she turned the handle west. Her footsteps were light on the ground. This room wasn't supposed to be a room the entire Mansion's maid had to be afraid of. Some of the maids even speak of seeing the ghost of the lost granddaughter.As reckoned, the study had been crammed with dust and cobwebs. She placed the lantern on top of a table to g
Somewhere far away.Inside a dark cave sat a woman not older than thirty. Her hair was all white and her face pale. Beside her stood a tall man."We've found traces of her soul." The man reported. "It's now confirmed she didn't die during that last war. Her primordial spirit escaped."The woman didn't reply as she stared into the darkness."And I've assigned a few men to dig further." The man concluded.The woman sighed a little. "How long would it take to recover her Soul? We have to possess a body with it before time runs out." She asked."A month, maximum.""Good. Don't make a mistake. The Ginnak needs to end what she couldn't decades ago." As she spoke, a brutal glint shined in her eyes, making her appear scarier.The man bowed and exited her presence.As the cave became quiet, she snapped her fingers, causing light to fill the once-dark cave. A man that had been standing silently against the wall walked closer to the woman with a smirk."I told you her soul wasn't dead. She was a
