The others were training in the living room so Alistair decided to use the back door. She ran along the aisle, Luna leaping behind her. She would visit the castle today and no one would stop her. The back door which hasn't been used for centuries creaked on her first touch. She was about to walk out when she felt a hand dragged her back. She tried to struggle but froze in place when she saw who it was. Ethan!"Where are you going miss?" He asked.She flinched from his hold. "None of your business." She spat and headed towards the door but he grabbed her by the waist and held her close to himself. Their faces were just a inch distant from each other and in some way Alistair felt her brain would stop its work if she didn't act fast."Let me be Ethan!"She shrieked. He only held her closer."Huh?"He murmured. "You want to go out. Should I remind you that you are the most wanted in this territory and this is the only safe place you can be huh?"Alistair
Lake of fire.I'm not scared. Even if Alistair has not told me about our special powers and how it resists fire, I think if be ready to die now. For heaven's sake, what else am I living for?! Everything is wrong with me. That coward!My chains were lose and four mighty guards got hold of me. I felt like a queen accompanied by a convoid to her final home, her death. How sweet?The lake of fire, here I come. My carrier stopped a few inches away from the fire, to avoid being hurt by the fire. Then, I thought I'd really die. I looked around to search for Julian's but he wasn't anywhere close. He wasn't there. If I'd really die, I'd like to at least see him before I go. Heartbroken, I asked the guards to go ahead. They carried me high above their heads at threw me with all the force they could manage. I closed my eyes, awaiting whatever life held for me. All I could do was pray.*Julian rode as fast as he could to the sacred house. He needed to see Alistair. Whe
Sylvia was in the kitchen, helping the other maids with the cleaning up when she got a call from her master. Her master, the army head of the white coven controls the remains of the white coven since they had no leader. Obviously, her migration brought her here as a maid. She was glad that at least, she arrived safely at her coven. She bowed on seeing him."Burn this piece of shit for me."He threw her a piece of paper, like a letter. She picked it up and walked away. He stopped her."Wait, go to the Raven house. Write to the demons that we would settle for a negotiation." Sylvia was shocked. She wanted to argue but remembered her place. She bowed and walked away. Since she joined the castle, she has been his most trusted servant and she would not want to take that for granted. She opened the letter when she was in a safe place. It was from the demon king, he offered a negotiation, though the terms haven't been made. Sylvia knew it was the worst decision he could make. She
"Everything will be alright 'listair."Ethan said to Alistair who was lost in thought at her window. Her door was ajar, he saw her, still by her window and decided to check on her. He stood behind her and embraced her fearlessly. Alistair's body shook in shock. That was too sudden but she found herself giving in to his comfort. She straightened her back and leaned on his chest. To her, she was just in one of her fairy tale dreams." Are you okay, Milady?"Ethan asked cautiously."Ethan."Alistair ignored his question. "Can you see what I'm seeing?" Ethan followed her gaze to the sky, he was completely puzzled. What the hell is she talking about?! She is really a weirdo."You can't see it huh? But it's there. It's there in the sky. It's dark but not dark..." She was blabbering. For a moment, Ethan thought she was drunk but she is not."Look well Ethan. It's there. It's not really dark. There at a corner, there's...""Light"They echoed. Alistair giggled. She was
We rode silently through towards the sacred house. I was more disguised in the cotton jumpsuit I wore. And Julian won't be easily noticed by commoners because he did not have his badge on. For the first time, he journeyed in only a shirt. He burned our coats at the brothel to avoid being traced. We both looked like a couple on an adventure. Julian was able to get only a horse. I hung on to his back while he rode.When we got to the sacred, I left him out to meet my peers. They all looked surprised to see me except Alistair who jumped happily at me. She held me close like she's never letting go."Alistair was scared." Emiliar joked. "She got us all scared Katrienair. Thank God you're safe." She joined our embrace and Claire."Joel is outside."I announced. "Im staying with you guys now."A smile formed on their faces. Somehow, I felt loved."I'd go see Joel."Alistair left. It's the first time she ever called him Joel. That got me curious. I saw Luna run down t
When Julian got back to the castle, he met his loyal body guards at the gate. Roger has given them just three days to find him. Since then, they've stayed at the gate day and night, awaiting their master. They laid on their faces on seeing his."Master!"They gasped. "You are back! The castle was not at rest with your absence. We are so glad.""Get up you two." Julian said."The king would like to see you immediately."They dusted sand off their coats."Tell your king that I'm back. I'd go see him when I'm ready."He left them staring in shock while he headed to the legion house. They were training as usual. A new army head have been elected, the old general proudly had the badge on his coat. They all bowed as he passed. Something seemed off. He searched all the training houses but didn't find Kabal. Well, he gave up the search and retired to asking the haughty old man."Kron.""It's a good thing that you are back Prince Julian."Julian winced.
"Have your seat Kabal." Julian noticed he was shy to walk in."Thank you Sire" he said. "I'm really honored.""How are you doing Kabal? You look... sick." He said as he pulled off his boots."I... I feel so bad Milord. I can't tell anyone why because..." He trailed off. "No one really liked her. Except you, Master. Don't you..."" Your commander?" Julian arched his brow. "Do you really care about her that much?""I'd give my life for her Master. I owe that to her. She made me, all that I am today." Kabal sulked on his tears. Julian watched the young boy express his obsessions with his Master. Little wonder, Katrienair remembered him."She died in that lake and everyone went on with their life.""It's okay Kabal. She really is a gem. We'll miss her."He paused. "You were sent out of the legion?""Yes Sire." He paused."Would you want to go back?"Kabal raised his head, shocked that the prince finally took interest in him."N
"Seems like there's nothing you can't do. That drawing is perfect." Ethan complimented her."Huh... Thanks."Alistair smiled. She settled on the couch, seeing this, Ethan joined her. She sighed. This guy won't let me be. She was about to leave when he held her down."Don't fret. I don't bite...""I'm not scared."She countered."You. "He swallowed. "I've learned a lot from you in a very short time. Your robotic technique I guess and your slaps, more than enough to reset a person's brain. Isn't it?""You are joking right?" Alistair stifled a laughter. He was definitely teasing her."It's the truth. You are mean." He teased on. " Do you know how hurtful it is when a harden warrior slaps you?"Alistair pitied him for a moment. She wanted to caress his smooth cheeks and tell him how much she didn't mean to hurt him. That's impossible."I'm sorry" she muttered.Ethan was flustered. He thought he'd heard the wrong thing."What did you say?"Alistair bi
