[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
Dominus departed the palace that night and headed for the church. Everywhere was silent and it bought him a duration to speculate. But his thinking was disturbed by the appearance of a person."You're not going to that convent, are you?"It was Forsyth."That none of your business.""It is now my business since the deranged you took my pet," Forsyth said as he laid his back on a tree. The steady wind was pushing his hair in different trends."I'm not holding you back from finding her,""Well… I might kill him, and you know, he's you.""I have no time for your absurdity, Forsyth.""Don't tell me you're scared of that witchy woman," Forsyth let out, referring to their mother's arrival."When you have to tidy someone's mess, you'll know,""Don't strive to be the hero every moment, Dominus, You don't have to protect everybody," Forsyth advised."I am the Hero, Forsyth." With this, Dominus strode off and Forsyth just cackled.__________"He took Marleen, and Forsyth is a few minutes away f
"I was hinting to ask you, Ava, how did you recognize that I wasn't your King?" Dominic inquired as he lowered food on the ground for Ava and Marleen. The food was plain and unappealing."King Dominus wouldn't have abducted me. He's decent.""Decent, huh? Wait till you've glimpsed the actual him. We are the same, just with two bodies. I'm just another side he wishes to obliterate, but it's still there.""I-"Boom!The audible commotion rendered them all alert. The abandoned house was distant from other buildings, and it was nocturnal.Dominic glanced around him and his orifices snagged Marleen's apparent gaze. She wasn't frightened."You led them here," Dominic asserted. "How stupid of you." He let out and shook his head in disapproval."Let Ava go," Marleen announced firmly. Her eyes held determination and his eyes glowered."Sure," he dwelled, "But you'd have to stay in her place.""No!" Ava shrieked. "Let her go and I'll stay."Dominic whiffed and sat down. "You're too late Ava, sh
Inside the king's chamber."The doppelganger has released Ava, but the reason he held Marleen behind is still unknown," Michael reported. He was alone with Dominus."Did you find his location?" Dominus asked. His face held no emotion as he stared in one direction."According to Ava, he concealed his location with a spell," Michael answered."How's Ava, did you–""Yes. She's shackled in the underground cellar. Nobody knows of that basement except us." Michael said."Good." Dominus simply let out. "I'll be going to the church today, I heard the recruits are arriving tomorrow."Dominus watched Micheal, he was expecting to see a reaction or emotion. But nothing."Yes.""And Micheal, don't tell Forsyth Marleen didn't arrive with Ava. I don't want him creating further problems."Micheal nodded in understanding. He freed his mouth to speak but stopped. Finally, he gave in and voiced. "I believe he already knows,"________Later that evening. Dominus went to the church.As he arrived at the c
Inside a remote forest."She's of age now." Announced a woman.The women were inside a large room crammed with portions and weapons. The room was gray with a big pot on the crest of a burning fire. The pot was filled with fluid."I heard Sasha wants her," Another woman asserted.There were seven women inside the compartment, they all had similar traits and appearances."Third sister expects us to wait, the girl might be of age, but she's at a crucial phase right now." A woman near the first woman said.The seven of them were known as the Seven Sisters of Estein.Nobody knows their real names, they always operate in the dark."Sasha won't be able to, if she was wise she would have allowed the Ginnak to settle down a little." The first sister, Ammie said.The seven sisters were known for their different specialties."We need the Ginnak in its final stage, we've waited a long time for this." Mia, the sixth sister said."Natasha," Silvia, the second sister, called. "Don't tell me you're f
Dominic hooked Forsyth's hand and hoisted him into the air before slamming him to the ground.*THUD*Wiping his hands together, he stooped to Forsyth's level."I might not be as strong as Dominus anymore, but I once was Dominus. And one piece of advice; never tangle with the dead." He stepped on Forsyth before moving toward Marleen and yanked his coat."And," He paused and turned around. "I wasn't going to kill her, she might not be useful now, but she will be. Take care of her." With that, he disappeared.Marleen promptly ran towards Forsyth."Are you okay?" She instantly raised his head and placed it on her lap. She quickly dabbed the line of blood crawling down Forsyth's head."I don't need your help." He shoved her hand away and sat up. "You don't look so surprised at all this, why?" He doubted. His eyes were peering Into hers.The atmosphere that had lightened when Dominic left became thickened."I… I know about ancients, from books and stories…"Forsyth didn't wait for her to co
Simon unlocked the door and halted."Sharon?" He asked in confusion. He took stagnant steps towards her.Sharon chuckled a little, she hadn't seen her brother in a long time. "Hello, brother," Her lips were hoisted at the side."How– where have you been?" He walked towards her and held her hands. His blue eyes met her piercing blue ones."I became a sister." She said merely.Moving backward, Simon's eyes narrowed at her. "A sister of Estein?""Yes.""What the Fuck, Sharon!!" He howled."Don't do that shit with me, Simon, I'm big now. I don't need no momma or whatever to control me.""They'll fucking kill you if they find you're impersonating their sister." He loitered as he steadied his breathing. "What happened to the sister?""Locked up. She wasn't even enraged I locked her up." Sharon said. She walked passed Simon and Dominus and went closer to Ava. "Isn't she a sweet girl? Why tie her up?"Dominus ignored her and whirled to Simon. He noticed Simon wasn't guarding the entrance as h
"My Prince, you're bleeding!" Marleen panicked and promptly held Forsyth's hand up and examined it. He had a few cuts on his knuckles.Yanking his fingers off Marleen's hand, Forsyth spoke. "It's fine. I just need to get us out of here." After saying this, he banged the door again. But the door wasn't bulging."There is no way out of here, you said so yourself." She reminded him and he glared at her."Are you feeling bold just because you know what I am?" He asked and tilted his head to look at her face. The alarmed look on her face didn't miss his notice. And he chuckled."No…no, Your Highness, I would never." And her eyes faced the ground as she stooped at him."That is good to hear." He stated, and proceeded with whacking the door.But when he noticed she was cringing at every punch he threw, he halted."Are you alright?" He inquired and held up her face with his finger that was connected to her chin."No…Yes…I don't know." She said, and then proceeded. "My body feels weird.""How
