"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
Inside the Palace."Who's he?" Amiria was appalled at his query."What do you mean?" She inquired."The male, who's he?" The King interrogated again.Guessing he was speaking about the man who saved her, she responded with a smile."I don't think he's from here. His dress and everything seemed different. And–" she was cut off."Are you that desperate?" His utterance stung her heart."What do you mean?" She dreaded what he meant."Are you that desperate that you ran into the arms of a stranger and allow him to have his way with you,""I won't have you insult my dignity.""Is this what I get after all the love I've rained on you?" His tone indicated he was hurt."Why aren't you believing me?""Because Salia saw the two of you." He hesitated for a second and implored. "Was he outfitted in a long odd white coat with a golden-brown shoe, and was his hair a lengthy white hair?""Yes, I-""Were you on top of him earlier today behind a tree, his back was on the ground.""He was saving me from
"Queen Amiria did have a lover," Alexandra believed."That was before she tied the knot with the King. Her intention of coming to that kingdom was to find the sacred stone." Robert heightened her."Why did she need the stone?""To bring her lover back from the dead."Lexi huffed. "That's impossible!"Robert cocked his brow, "Was it?""You know very well it is impossible." She asserted."We'll stop here for now." Robert was implying to the yore of the Ginnak."Why? I'm not feeling sleepy or anything.""I know, but you need to lie.""But my eyes are clear, There's not an ounce of sleep in me right now.""Really?" He implored with a cocked brow.Alexandra was about to nod when a yawn escaped her lips. "Oops, I think I am." She stood up from her chair after saying good night to Robert and headed for the door. And departed it.In the hallway, she recalled she forgot to ask something. So she turned back to the cabin.She knocks before opening the door."Robert, I forgot to ask if-" That was
"Are you aiming to blackmail me?""If that's what you call it." He asserted and shrugged.After some time of contemplating, Alexandra let out. "I don't know how to sleep on the couch, I won't get comfortable." Her voice was meager and fluffy."The couch is too small for me." "But the bed is big enough for the two of us.""What? I'm not sharing a mattress with you." She squeaked like a spoiled brat."Have it your way then. Just do you know, I'm laying on that bed."The Dominic she knows wasn't loosened up. Something was advising her to go back to her room. But she had a terrifying nightmare where an imaginary Vamurus was after Amiria, a girl that looks like her. It was quite scary to her.She watched as Dominic climbed the bed and left a space for her. Dominic wasn't this friendly.Shrugging the thoughts in her head off, she strides toward the side of the bed and laid on it.Silence then filled the room.After minutes, Dominic opened his eyes and turned his head to Alexandra. Her stead
The following morning, Lexi rapidly freshened up and ran towards Robert's cabin. He had an unfinished tale to tell her."Robert…" She dubbed for him as she trudged into his cabin. But there he was, on his bed with a sallow pale face."Are you alright, Robert? You look weak," She strode towards him and held his hand. It was scorching."Don't worry about me, little girl," he chortles lightly, "I'm as strong as a teenager.""Lasses aren't strong again, take me for an example.""Don't underestimate yourself, Lexi, a tiny frame might wield the leverage that could take down a regime. People aren't usually small because of nature, but because of what they haul in them. The pressure might be too much."Lexi could guarantee she didn't comprehend an ounce of what he said. But still, she nodded."Since you're unwell, I'll leave the storytelling for another day," Alexandra informed him."What storytelling?" Robert explored weakly.Reckoning he had forgotten due to his nausea, she countered. "The
Alexandra didn't know what was transpiring. She had been in Robert's room, aiding him.Subsequently, she departed his cabin the following day to get water, she spotted Dominic, he was formally clothed. So also Thomas.She ambled toward them and scrutinized them, then she noted they have luggage with them.Were they traveling?"Are you guys going somewhere?" She implored. Her orifices were drifting between the two.Dominic didn't pester to glance at her as his face wielded nothing. But Thomas on the other hand became sheepish."It's not what you think, Lexi." He, therefore, scratches his neck."Then what is it?" She doubted. She was amassing an eerie sentiment about this.She hadn't been nimble to peek at Dominic properly, visions of that night made her awkward."Dominic is retiring, and unfortunately, the boss of Priests specially invited me to follow Dominic."Alexandra's head whirled. Her gazes promptly found Dominic's, but he wasn't looking in her direction."Ar— are you leaving?"
Note: This isn't the history of the first Ginnak, this is the yore of Alexandra and Mildred.~~~~~~[Past; The Year 1733]Nine years old Ava ran as fast as she could. Her breathing wasn't steady as the box she clutched in her hand trembled. It was nocturnal."Catch the wretch!"Her heart neglected a beat, she didn't hinder her movement as she accelerated her pace.Inside the box was a book. A book that wasn't supposed to be revealed or discovered.~The formation and death of a Ginnak~Ava had discovered the book, she knows about the Ginnak and how hazardous there were.But those women wanted to generate more Ginnaks."There she is!" A male voice said out.Ava gulped as she caught sight of a male pointing his hand in her direction.The male had silver shoulder-length hair and a small face. He didn't seem to be from here.Hasting her pace, she sprinted. She wasn't sure where she was running to, but she needed to flee.But her short legs weren't pushing to take her far. After she got to
[The Year 1742]"Ava is with the doppelganger. Ostensibly, he abducted her." The king, Dominus informed Simon in his chamber."What does he need her for? This isn't going according to plan." Simon growled."I can't end him, and now I'm anxious because he won't hesitate to make an undertaking with mother.""Does Gretel know about this? Perhaps she could trail their location. I've notified Micheal and the others about the probabilities of mother's arrival. They also seem annoyed as well." Simon explained."Well, Michael should be, he killed her daughter after all." Dominus ran his hand through his hair and sighed. "Michael would surely be reaping it hard.""Forsyth doesn't know yet, he wasn't in his chambers when I went to him.""He'll be home soon," Dominus said."Gretel is departing soon, isn't she?""The hard nut girl is determined to stay since she's a senior nun.""What? What the Fuck is wrong with that head of hers?" Simon let out angrily.Dominus won't blame him. The recruitment
90He looked up from downstairs and wondered if Anne was asleep. He climbed it slowly with hesitation, he didn't want her to feel uncomfortable.The stairs appeared longer than usual. His heart, something didn't believe existed, began to race. He was nervous for no reason.As he reached the edge of the stairs, Anne's room entered his view before his room which after before her room. He strides to her door and knocks on it slightly.On the first knock the door opened. He couldn't believe she was actually waiting for him to come to her room.He slipped into the room, the lit candles were glowing. He glanced at the wall clock and it was a few minutes past nine."I thought you were asleep," Dominus said as he strolled to her, "How's your wound?" He noticed she hauled her arms freely.A beaming smile appeared on her face. "It healed. The pain was severe at first, but after the plant you dipped, the pain began lessening. And now, there's no pain."Dominus wasn't believing this. He moved clos
"I– I don't know what you're talking about,""I can't imagine I'm getting fortuitous by the second." He remarked and snickered.Before Marleen realized it, he grabbed her by the neck and she instantly fell into unconsciousness._________"Mar–leen?" Ava's worried voice exclaimed for Marleen when she saw him on the doppelganger's shoulder."Relax, bestie, she's fine," Dominic said as he lowered Marleen close to a shackled Ava."Why is she here?" She asked. Marleen was still unconscious."How many people know about the Ancients?""Many. Although they don't believe in it since they haven't seen one before. Why?""Just attempting the know the numbers I'm roughly to kill,""Don't! They're innocent, they know nothing.""This girl here didn't seem like that to me. She's different, do you know that?" He asked as he waddled past Ava.He picked a chain and bound Marleen's hands with it. After that, he strides toward a chair and sits on it."I can't believe father let different species run the e
Her mother shuddered a little, her lips were shaking. "I…I did what I was told to, I made sure to wipe everything. I don't know how she remembered.""That only signified you weren't doing your job. Rather than concentrating on the child, you were busy whoring around." His voice wielded irritation, he then stepped slowly towards her mother.Before she knew it, the man grabbed her mother by the neck and mashed her unto a tree. Little Ava saw blood crawling down her mother's neck."W–what are you doing to mother?" Ava questioned the man, who was her supposed grandpa.Alexandra didn't know what was transpiring. She had been in Robert's room, aiding him.Subsequently, she departed his cabin the following day to get water, she spotted Dominic, he was formally clothed. So also Thomas.She ambled toward them and scrutinized them, then she noted they have luggage with them.Were they traveling?"Are you guys going somewhere?" She implored. Her orifices were drifting between the two.Dominic di
Dracule glared at him, "You think I haven't thought of that with your mother? I went insane when she died, it killed me inside. It didn't matter if she was with another man, I just wanted her alive and well.""I won't allow myself to see her with another man, I don't care if she's happy with him, I'd much rather kill her myself. I'm selfish, and I'm not hiding it."As they both stared into the warm night with silence, Dominus wondered what he would do to keep Anne by his side. Nobody owns the power to do that, but his mother was able to preserve souls.Would that work?His mother's book was with him, a very important book. He needed to check if it held any spell to stop a dying person from death.He excused himself from Dracule's house and went to an underground cave. Nobody knows of this, making it the best place to hide the book.He took the book out and glanced at the name on the book cover.'Formation of the Ginnak.'Alexandra felt on edge as she stood in front of the Priest with
"She isn't who you're looking for, she's unknown." He paused for a moment, "She's powerful but that's unknown to her, her nativity and innocence will lead us to our greatest desire." He took a sip from his cup and his eyes switched from brown to dark shades of red." What about Karina?""After we reach our goal she's of no use anymore, there's no use in keeping her with us.""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
"Michael? I've heard that name multiple times, probably from sweet Gretel." Robert said with a cocky smile. His wrinkled face made him look scary.Micheal's face darkened while Forsyth chuckled. "I like you already," Forsyth proclaimed hearing the connotation in his sentence."But I don't," Robert told Forsyth."Touché."They turned as they heard running footsteps, Mildred seemed to be running towards them."What's it? Where's Alexandra?" Forsyth asked."She-""Ladies and gentlemen," A man said, interrupting Mildred's words, his voice was loud, "It's time for the main event to begin." Everybody began moving with glasses of wine between their fingers.From the corner of their eyes, they saw Alexandra running while the man, Dominus, was walking slowly behind her as if toying with her.His prey.Grunts were heard as a man tossed restlessly on a mattress. His eyes opened abruptly only to jerk back when he noticed someone on the bed."Graciela?" The man asked with a sleepy tone. He couldn'
Reddish-gold eyes tilted his head and glanced at Dominus. "I wasn't asking for a fucking permission."Dominus sighed. "You and your foul mouth.""But the ladies love it." He grinned."You've only ever seen one lady until now." Dominus taunted. But the reddish-gold eyes only shrugged."That's why she's mine to kill.""You can't kill her,""Oh, I created her. So yes I can.""Why?"Silence filled the space between them."Don't you think it's time for you to go?""No. I'm doing what you told me to. To protect the Ginnak.""You wouldn't want to defy me, Green eyes.""I'm sorry." Dominus bowed his head at him and disappeared.Reddish-gold eyes Dominus fisted his fingers as annoyance lingered in his eyes.He needs to get the Ginnak before his mother gets her. Having to fight his clone and mother sounded exhausting and he was the lazy type.But her minors were everywhere in the Mansion. He was suddenly grateful she was injured. It would be a lot harder if she was fine.Now he needs to use the
"N-Nothing-g..." Her voice trembles from fear. The girl before her was all blue, icy blue like how Leah's face had been, but the difference was that Leah was unconscious while the girl before her wasn't."Alexandra..." Her name came out as a soft echo from her mouth, it wasn't supposed to sound scary but it did."Y-you know me?" Alexandra pointed at herself with her slightly trembling forefinger, partly from the cold."Who wouldn't?" The hostility in her voice made Alexandra gulp."But I don't know you...""Of course, you wouldn't," The girl cuts her off, "People like us are peasants compared to you." The girl said and slowly moved towards her, to which Alexandra responded by moving backward, slowly."You are the reason many of us have to suffer!" Alexandra knew the girl was becoming angrier since the cold in the room began intensifying. Before she realized it, the girl forced her hand towards her, and her heart ceased beating for a second."Stop Right There,"5"---h it does look like
She dabbed her hands dry and ambled to the basement. It was slightly dark but manageable. As she picked up the pans and spun to depart, an agony moan halted her. It was coming from the side of the basement. She strolled nearer to the noise and came upon Alexandra. She lay on the ground folded. Her hand was tight around her head, she appeared to be in distress."Alexandra," She carefully hoisted her, "What's wrong?" She didn't need to know what was wrong because her eyes said it all. But the red glint in her eyes changed back to normal. Her pained expression changed like she was never in pain."I'm fine," Lexi said and rubbed her body. "Excuse me." She was behaving skeptically. But Mildred shrugged it off. She already knew what was wrong. She just hope things remained how there were after tomorrow.___________At the Temple of priests.Dominus closed his eyes as he rested his back on the side of a tree. The leaves were moving in different trends. Despite his calm expression, he was con
