A broad light came, subduing the one from the relic, clearing the path and their vision. They opened their eyes and saw Sir Zuka there with Tristan. “Fath-” Zadicus tried to called but he only moved forward. “All of you leave. Zadicus, Tristan. I need you two to seal it back.” He ordered, putting his hand on Kriss’ heart. “Heaven’s Touch.” With this spell, he purified his body, releasing it from his grasp and ended up coughing badly with a constrict in his heart. His health was not allowing him to use strong spells or else he was a Master of protection. “Father!” Tristan called him worriedly. “I am fine!” He shouted, moving his hand in the air to dismiss him. Kriss gasped loudly, finally regaining his senses, coughing up blood, clearing his vision, finally freed from it. “Kriss!” Persephone and Avin rushed to his side, helping him to run away but the moment they did everything stopped, their way back closed up entirely. All of them were caged inside this cave thirsting for
“What have you done!?” Zadicus screamed, holding his chest, sobbing badly to the point his voice began to suffocate him. Tears blurring his vision, unable to handle this amount of grief. “STOP! STOP! PLEASE!” He cried from his deep anguish, punching the surface beneath him continuously but it left no effect. “What have you done!? How could you, Zadicus!?” Persephone screamed, traumatized by the sight where he killed his Father. The sight was unbearable for everyone present, terrified to think what he would do if he could kill Sir Zuka smoothly. “I thought I told you to shut your damn mouth.” His low growl came, shifting his gaze to her. He turned, taking a step and in a blink was present before her, Her breathed hitched, taking a step back in appall, holding her dress, shaking with terror, utterly defeat by his presence. “Zadicus…” She called him breathlessly, trembling violently when his menacing eyes hovering over hers. Smirking at her horrified reaction, he brought his hand
“STOP!!” Zadicus yelled furiously, punching the ground before getting up, wiping the anguished tears.His heart cannot take the pain anymore, it took a prolonged period for him to grasp what he was lacking but he did it.“Oh… so you figured it out?” He smirked, stopping instantly by his order, letting Tristan go who passed out by the lack of oxygen.Zadicus took deep breaths, trying to regain his cognition, his mind was in a state of blur but he cannot lose anyone anymore. He knows he had to subdue his pain and despair if he wanted to take his control back and fight his monster. “I said. Stop.” Zadicus said sternly, tears of ravage glistening in his eyes.Indicating the damage cannot be undone but he must halt this monstrosity before it increases and ruin further lives.“Aw, I was having no much fun.” he sighed, putting his hand on his waist, displeased.“I am ordering you to return my body to me.” Zadicus commanded in a strict tone, curling his hands in a fist, cursing himself.“S
“No!!” A scream of anguish echoed in the cave where blood tainted the walls, dispersing an atmosphere of appall everywhere. “Please.. Anyone… Help me.” Tears streamed down Zadicus’ face due to powerlessness but nothing could tame his heart anymore. He had consumed darkness. “What have I done?” He sobbed, lowering his head, losing his mind in anguish. “I am sorry… I am so sorry..” He sniffed but they were meaningless. “Father, please, Wake up. Please.” He cried, shaking the lifeless body before him. Blood stealing his innocence but all his fragile heart was capable of doing was to beg, “I am sorry, I am so sorry.” “Please anyone…” Whispering, his hand clutched his robe, shedding destructive tears until a voice called him from behind hesitantly. “Z-Zadicus?” His breathing hitched upon hearing the voice of his beloved, the fear was undesirable but unavoidable. “P-Persephone?” Swallowing his lump, he turned to her hesitantly. She was the only person who woke up, “What ha
After Zadicus was taken away, all of them began to resent him but deep down they held a guilt for going there in the first place. Persephone shattered beyond repair and locked herself, her heart sank into darkness to never see the world again, losing her friend and lover. “Please tell me it’s my deception.” Persephone begged, all alone in her opulent mansion, silent tears rolling down her cheeks, staring at her hands. “Please…” She sniffed, sitting on the ground, losing her posture. She was caged in darkness filled with apparitions, frightening her but there was no one to support her anymore. Everything began to fall apart. “Randall, Open the door.” Randall’s mother called, knocking at his door. These two only have each other and her heart crushed to see her son in this state but Randall had shut himself out. “Please, don’t do this to me. Come out.” He was wailing alone in his room, her voice was not reaching him. “NO!!” Zen screamed, the memory engraved as an eternal nig
Kriss returned and delivered Zadicus message to him. It was night, His Majesty was about to go to sleep and gain some lull but Kriss came to see him in his room. “What is it, Kriss?” He asked, looking up from the book he was reading. “Father, Zadicus said to deliver his message.” He breathed out. “Kriss, you know, I forbid you to see-” His Majesty frowned and was about to scold him but he shut his eyes, speaking hurriedly. “I have connected my life source with him. If I die, he will awaken and raze his consecrated land.” He opened his eyes slowly to study his reaction, the book fell from his hand with utter dismay, standing up. “What?!” He almost yelled, running his hand in his hair out of distress, moving back in disbelief. “What was he talking about?” Kriss asked hesitantly as he had no idea “This has to be a sickening jocose. I have to halt his execution right now.” He ordered, panicking by thinking of the consequences if he died. “But, what is it?” Kriss asked again, co
Present “Why did you tell me before? Why did you just leave without any explanation?” Persephone asked, her voice was weak. Mind intoxicated with inexplicable agony to fathom all this happened and she was unaware of it all along, she cannot grasp what was happening. Her mind was blank, overflowing with immense dejection and tears glistening in her eyes. “Why did you just leave? Why didn’t you come back to tell me at least once?” She sobbed holding his robe, pulling him as close as possible. “What could it change? What’s the difference could it make?” He asked coldly. Eyes staring at her powerless and heartbroken form.
A gasp of dread escaped her lips, not accepting the man before her as her Zadicus, his heart was consumed by malice. “W-What?” She stuttered, eyes widened, shaking badly in dismal. “Yes.” His smirk grew intense, pressing his lower body over hers, trapping her against the wall. “Nothing in this world you stop from upbringing terror, this world perish into darkness with me.” He whispered, letting out a low husky laugh. The menace in his voice shattered her heart, her ability to think lost the composure. “Zadicus, please, no-” She tried to plead with him but his grip tightened, amusement converting into sheer dominance.
