[THE PAST]"I want a relic and a big horse father, and a small tot to play with," A female energetic voice filled the room. Her enthusiasm was top-notch as nothing could bring her mood down, and this made it difficult for her parents to say no to her requests. Her big brown eyes could turn the toughest man delicate with a blink of an eye.But there was no way any of her requests right now was possible, except the baby part."Relics don't exist, Lexi, and you're too untrained and little to ride a big horse. Forget the size, you're too young to do anything," Her father, Mr. Bernard said to which she grimaced. Her mother nudges his rib with her elbow indicating he agrees with her desires. He sighs and nods his head at her. "If that's what you want sweetie, anything for you." he complied."I also want a playmate and a cutter, I learned it's a self-defense tool. And a-" The knock on the door made her halt her requests.Their butler, Mr. Jones, a middle-aged man, stepped inside. He bows at h
THERE IS AN INTRUDER IN THE MANOR!That was the only thing on her senses. Her fragile feet got stiff and her heart began to throb precipitously in her chest."Since you're a cute little creature, I'll give you just a chance to leave. Don't turn around, walk backward and disappear. I don't have much patience," His rough voice said. The emotion she felt last night came back. She knows this feeling, and nothing good arises from such a sentiment. She needed to tell Butler Jones.She followed the man's instructions and dragged her tiny feet backward unhurriedly, they were stiffened on the ground but thankfully they still moved. She curled her palms on her gown as the man's feet came Into view."Now run. Don't look at me, not even a glance." Lexi nodded rapidly. Getting a glimpse of the man's feet close to hers, she takes it as a cue to swivel and flee. And she did it successfully without taking a glimpse at him._____"Uncle Jones! Uncle Jones..." She cried softly as she ran toward him. He
"Open the door, Lexi, hurry....!" The heavy bang on the door left Lexi startled as her body jerked at each slam. She wasn't supposed to open the door, not after she had guaranteed her Butler."It's me, uncle Jones, Now open the door," She shifted to the further part of the room, she was scared and confused. But that was Butler's voice.She stepped nearer to the door and positioned her ear on it, no screaming was heard which implies she was safe to open it."Arghhhhh!!!" She yanked back instantly, removing her hand from the door's handle. That was a scream she heard."Y-you're not him. He never calls me Lexi, y-you're someone else," She stated with a trembling voice."I'm him, sweetheart, just open the door and see. Hurry, they are COMING!" Her Butler might be cold but he never yells at her. This was not her cold yet warm Butler, No, not him. And sweetheart? So not her Butler.She hears heavy footsteps moving toward her room's location. She settled her ear softly on the door again and h
"---h it does look like an accident, but who would trot a horse so near to an edge, especially when it's highland?""Some drunk men, I think?""It's quite high up there, I wonder if anyone survived,""The horses did. I figured from their pulse they were medicated.... and it wasn't any kind of drugging,""Wait!... You mean...""Yeah.""A schemed work I see. Gather anything you find skeptical, we'll be heading to the council to display our discoveries. Someone is practicing witchcraft..... ""The carriage is shut from outside, got anything on you? I bet there's something valuable inside,""Some bunch of keys and pins. Here,"Lexi, who had been hearing voices, unfolded her eyes unhurriedly. Her body aches along with her throbbing head. The blood crawling from her injured head had ceased. And the loud voices outside didn't make anything less.She felt weak, and her muscles were aching but she raised her hand to open the carriage door. From her laid position, she comprehended the carriage
11*Knock**knock*"Come in,"The noise of a door opening was heard as footsteps approached."Sir, Master Cole is here. He seeks your presence," Thomas announced after bowing at King Magnus."What does he want?" King Magnus asked, his head concealed in the pile of books. His voice was calm."He proclaims he wants to meet his niece, which he heard rumors residues here,"King Magnus paused for a moment. He lifted his eyes to Thomas before taking them back to his books. He didn't reply for a short period as he kept scribing phrases on a piece of sheet."And who is this... niece?""The Lady from Bernard's family, Sir," Thomas quickly diverted his eyes as King Magnus glared at his face. He didn't know who the little girl was to the King, but he knew she was important."Where is he?""In the reception room.""I'll be there in a bit,""Yes, Sir," Thomas bent again and departed the room, leaving King Magnus deep In thought.He walked towards the reception room and met Master Cole who had been
THE MANSION MANSION IS UNDER ATTACK!!!Katherine ran towards Robert's cabin, she was terrified and bothered."Robert! Robert..." She blurted as she stepped into the cabin. Robert was working on something and appeared oblivious to the happenings outside."Robert... The mansion is under attack! The people...they- they had no faces.. no body..they were like air... and-""They are the spirits of the forgotten," Robert said interrupting, he put his hand on her shoulder calming her down. He walked towards the shelf and pulled out a big dusty book. He opened and turned pages and finally stopped at a specific page."Is this what it looked like?" He asked, pointing at a ghostly image on the book page."Yes. They can't be eliminated, two guards are already dead and their faces were blue.. icy blue. Samuel is attempting to hold them off but I doubt he can,""They are cathas, spirits of the forgotten. They were offended. Someone must have done something to wake them, cathas don't appear unless the
The rattle of a door opening was heeded as footsteps stridden into the room."She did nothing wrong, She was trying to safeguard the little girl," Robert explained as he stepped through the door, moving towards Samuel.Samuel, whose head was against the chair as he sat with his eyes shut then opened his eyes."What she did was revolutionary. She went against the King's words, my words. She deserves discipline.""The little girl was entrusted to her for protection, surely it wasn't against his words," Robert reasons.Samuel slams his hand on the table before him. He stands up angrily,"That girl is the only solution to this dilemma, And Katherine fucking knew it. What's the use of protecting one girl when she'll die either way,""The--"A knock came on the door."Sir Samuel, King Magnus just arrived." A voice informed from outside the door.Startled, Samuel stared at Robert. He then turns his head towards the door."I'll be down shortly," He replied.He swivels his gaze back to Robert.
Galerien [Southern Kingdom]"What?" A sluggish drowsy voice asked. His voice was deep. His breaths came out as pants as he strived to stabilize them."Elder Sean wants to see you." The servant responded from outside the door."I'll be there," After responding he surges from his sleeping position and sits on the bed. Running his hand through his silver hair, he stood up and wore his robe. After putting on his shoes he strolled towards his door and walked outside.Descending the stairs, he strides towards the main hall of the temple.The two-way door was opened by two servants standing beside it, keeping guard.An elderly man in a priestly garment came into view, his slight gray hair was barely visible since it was nighttime."You sent for me," He said as he ambled closer to the elderly man."Yes, I did. Sit." Taking a step closer to the elderly man, he sits in the chair closest to him."What were you doing in the Northern kingdom?" Elder Sean asked, the scowl on his face tells how diss
