"You should have kept your curiosity at bay, Ava, now you are in danger." Ava turned her neck to meet the eyes Of the person who spoke.Simon."H–ow did you get here?" She questioned the panic, the door was locked and she didn't see it open, and nobody was in the room."I think you already know the answer, Ava," Simon said to her, causing her eyes to broaden."You–you are ancient too?" She pointed her fragile forefinger to him, although she was tied, her hand wasn't."No, I'm not." He replied calmly, "I'm different.""What are you?""You don't need to know that, you're in a lot of trouble already." He told her.She didn't know what more to say. A week ago, she knew nothing about the ancients or that they actually exist, only in books and stories though, but here she was, learning that their king was ancient."Are there others? Ancients, I mean," she asked as she bites on her down lip."Yes." He replied.The way he was staring at her made her feel uncomfortable. It was like he was scru
—A few Hours Ago—Dominus stepped out of the palace and walked through bushes to a forbidden temple. It was an old temple that was broken down by the council. It was said to be an evil temple.Only a few knew It was a place where the first King Of the Gograonia Empire and his wife first met.As he walked closer to the temple, he heard footsteps behind him.Nobody was stupid enough to come out by this time unless the person wasn't human.So, he turned around to see who it was, and he was surprised to see who it was."Hello, Me." His doppelganger was standing at his front. The cheeky smirk on his lips made him seem like he was up to no good. Actually, he was."What do you want?" Dominus asked, he knew the doppelganger was definitely up to no good. He knew it would be hard getting him back on the ice because right now he has a bigger problem at hand."Oh, nothing. I just thought you'd like to know where I'm keeping the Ginnak's girl. She looks exactly like Annabelle, you know,"This made
"You will help me find it." His tone was firm. He wasn't asking but ordering. But Sean, his brother, didn't want to take part in the search for the four books of Goratar."I'm not taking part, that shit is just as dangerous as fighting with Dominus," Sean complained. He had less time here, his father would begin rummaging for him anytime soon."Finding the exact location of something is one of your specialties, and I need it before Dominus gets his hand on it.""Why don't you ask your dragon friend, I bet he knows the location already," Sean responded."Simon seems to also be searching for it, I think you should use this as an opportunity by getting back at him for breaking your heart." Forsyth used the one card he knew was always effective. Simon.Scowling at Forsyth, Sean responded, "That bastard can never break my heart, freak,""Then we have an understanding." Forsyth thumbed himself internally. He stepped away from Sean and went down the stairs of his Mansion, but suddenly everyw
"I can see you've made yourself comfortable, Mildred," Mildred turned to the familiar voice. She flushed a little as she caught him examining her."Yeah, I did. Thanks to you." She replied politely. Her voice was low."That's good," Simon replied. It didn't go unnoticed by Mildred that he was checking her room, as if he was searching for someone."Is…there a problem?" She asked. How serious he suddenly became alarmed her."Have you…made contact with Forsyth since you arrived?" His question was weird. Why would she keep in contact with that madman?"No." She replied plainly.Simon sighed in relief.Ok, what was happening??"Did something bad happen?" She already knew the answer to her question, but she asked anyway."Forsyth is on the loose, he…isn't himself right now, so don't try to talk to him. Just stay far away, and if he comes near you, run.""What do you mean?""His sanity has snapped, Mildred. Right now he's no longer the Forsyth we know. And there's no way he's eliminating you
Dominic gazed angrily at Forsyth, from the outside Forsyth was massive and fiercer, only a few knew otherwise.In a low aggravated tone, Dominic spoke. "You came into MY mansion, and you're creating a scene?"Forsyth just cackled, darkly. "I had no idea you were the adopted son of the Magnus family." He scoffed.Dominic's eyes moved from Forsyth to the unconscious girl on the ground.If he hadn't arrived on time, all his efforts would have been in vain. Simon had been fast to tell him about Forsyth's insanity.He needed the girl alive, not just for his mission but for Forsyth's sake."He's controlling you," Dominic stated. He couldn't break the bond holding Forsyth, no one can except Marleen, and now Mildred."Do you know she killed me? Nah, you wouldn't, little things like that don't get your attention." Forsyth taunted."You know she was up to something all along, you just choose to ignore and make her happy. She wanted your blood, and you gave it to her happily." Dominic said in a r
"The Ginnak book of spells was never invented as a spell book, it was a warning book." Robert halted and peered at her, this gave her goosebumps. He didn't even tell her to wait a day to learn about the Ginnak.He then proceeded, "A warning book to tell the people about the misfortunes of being around a Ginnak. Ginnaks back then lived among humans.""Why would humans live among them when they know it's bad?" Alexandra raised a question. She saw no reason a person would want to stay close to a dangerous person or creature."At that time, the Ginnaks weren't deranged, the texts were just for safety measures. But as soon as the Ginnak's eyes fell on the book, their sanity snapped.""How? Why?" She was abruptly perplexed. Surely, the book wasn't that powerful."You see, this book holds powers, destructive powers. In the humans' eyes, the words written on the book were mere phrases to scare them off the Ginnak, but to the Ginnaks, It was inscribed differently."Comprehending something, she
The chirping of birds and the radiance of the morning sun made the sleeping woman grunt slightly."Sara, close the window." She announced loudly and proceeded with her sleep. After some time she heard no reply from Sara or footsteps. Infuriated slightly, she called out again."Sara…can you close the window, the sun is blazing."After a few seconds, she angrily opened her eyes. As she scanned around she then remembered one thing,This wasn't the palace.Gradually her memories began to flow. She glanced at the side of the room and met eye-to-eye with an amused man. He had a smile in his eyes and a chuckle on his lips."You've finally awakened." His eyes were still smiling.What was so funny??She shrugged as she had no idea what was so amusing until she turned her head and saw her reflection."Argh!!" She shrieked out in terror and the man released his laughter.Her dress was changed to a different one, and this dress made her look like a doll. Then her hair looked more like a bird's nes
"QUEEN AMIRIA!" Her name was being cried out by numerous people. She recognized the voices, they were the voices of her guards and handmaid. She also heard a few that she couldn't recognize, so she took them as the voices of the other guards.She glanced at Vamurus who was under her. In an attempt to save her, he used his back as a shield against the hard ground.She noticed that his upper arm was bruised as he stood up, and the edges of tiny woods had pierced into his back."Are you alright?" He asked softly. That should be her question. She thought. She trudged closer to him and observed his injuries."Will you follow me home? I know how to tend to such wounds." Amiria mumbled. She knows of a way to make it heal faster than an average physician."There's no need for that, Miss Amiria, I can tend to it myself."Amiria didn't bother to correct him. He didn't even know her name at first, he didn't even seem to be from around here."Ok, bye." Amiria flapped at hand at him a little before
