“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.
The very night when Zadicus and Persephone’s bond was gravely injured more than it already was. Tristan was indulging in the most pleasurable moments of his life. “Oh Lord…” Jade chuckled after they took a bath together and she wore his shirt, sitting on his bed. “What?” He arched a brow, lying on his side, glancing at her. “I never thought… that we.. could be a thing.” She giggled, her hands on her chest, trying to control her racing heartbeats. “Now we are, so come here.” He smirked, grabbing her wrist as she fell on his bare chest. She gasped but he pulled her close, wrapping his hand around her shoulder to have her in his arms. “I should go back…” She said shyly, lowering her gaze. Their heart skipped a beat when she rested her hands on his chest, scanning his handsome features and ripped muscles. “Go where? You are not going anywhere.” He frowned, rubbing circles on her shoulder. “But-” She opened her mouth to oppose but he sighed. “You worry too much, Love. Fuck them
The next morning, Felix and Ruth, having the duty to care for the food, were serving breakfast.“There you go.” Felix smiled, handing Ruth the food as she was setting it on the dining table.“Thanks, Felix.” She smiled back, setting things up and Leona was the first person to enter the room.Her mind had utterly forgotten about yesterday, yawning while running her hand in her hair. “Leona, call everyone for breakfast.” Ruth said, tugging her hair behind her ears, smiling at her.“Fine.” She muttered, blinking to regain her senses and leaving to call everyone and deliberately went to see Tristan for the end.So by the time he reaches there, the food turns cold and they both have to eat it. With a bored face, she walked closer, not interested in running her mood by talking to him in the morning.“Ay, Tristan.” She called but her steps halted when she saw Tristan and Jade.She was wearing Tristan’s shirt as they both walked out with his hand on her shoulder, talking, giggling with each
