And we’re progressing.. See yA!
{Ciril’s POV} Landon collapsed before me suddenly.And before I could realize what was happening or even react, his body hit the ground. I tensed at the impact, and then I rushed to him and stopped before him, frozen because I was still confused on what was going on.“Landon?”“Landon?” I called again but didn’t get any response. The only response I got was his coughing out a thick volume of blood before his head tilted to the side. With that, I immediately made contact. I bent down and held his shoulder, avoiding touching the trails of his blood but holding him to be able to shake him up a little. “Landon!” I called a bit louder now as I shook his body, but then I got no response so that I tensed again.What’s going on?“Landon!” I called again whilst shaking him up— more intensely this time.Still nothing. I started to panic now.I shook him up some more and then I confusedly came to the conclusion that he was now unconscious.I didn’t know what made him unconscious so this was
{Ciril’s POV} My fingers were clenched..My brows were caved in…My muscles were tense…I was rageful… but I didn’t move a muscle— I just glared. I glared at the man in front of me. Landon.He was on his knees and apart from him showing me tears, he had poured on me his words— words that I didn’t give a fuck about but words that still had an effect on me. I was panting, heaving in resentment for him but then that was all I continued to do as minutes passed by.I had wanted to kill him but then I didn’t know why I was becoming more hesitant by the minute, and soon, the clouds started to return to their normal color and the wind currents started to grow calm. I hated that all these were happening but I seemingly lacked control. I was also subconsciously calming down and in another few minutes, everything was back to normal.My raging eyes were all that remained as I still stood glaring at Landon who still had his head bowed to the ground. The air remained like that for another momen
{Ciril’s POV} So for this reason, I died… and I will never have life back without you in it…” Landon said as I turned to look at him. The air grew quiet. l didn’t say anything in the following moment because I was busy taking in his words. Landon also just stared, waiting for my response, looking like he craved to hear it……and after a moment of tense silence, I gave it to him.“I don’t care.”Yeah. That was my response.I grew back my scowl now. I had had a shocked expression some minutes ago but then I grew back my scowl and poured it on him.“You deserve to be dead— no no no. I want you dead.” I corrected myself as I stepped closer to him with slow and short steps. “I’ve been letting the thought remain dormant all this while because I don’t want to get worked up, but now we’ll address it— we’ll address it to the end.” I said with clenched fists and a new resolve. My anger was growing. “You’re on my murder list, Landon— in fact, you are one of the top people on the list, so just
{Ciril’s POV} Landon told me that we were one day away from the Palace, and I didn’t know whether to feel relieved or feel dreadful. I think I felt both. It would be nice returning to the Palace, knowing that the war was over now… but then again, I would also be returning to see my family, the people I care about, all beaten and Feral. The thought of them hasn’t left my mind all this while and believe me when I say it’s the most agonizing thing one can think about.The war was won but I don’t think the war would ever truly be won if the people I love aren’t there with me— at least not sanely.Having them as Ferals would break me as much as it would if they were dead and so, getting to the Palace now was a dreadful feat.It added sorrow and melancholy to the anger I was feeling and the combined emotions were just too much for me to bear. So I decided to dismiss and pour out the anger.I was pouring out the anger on Landon. He had changed my clothes, touched me, and seen me naked— a
{Ciril’s POV} I saw darkness… and then I felt my body bobbing.I didn’t understand the motion— why I was bobbing, so I forced my eyelids open to realize that the darkness had been because my eyes were closed.I saw the sky now. It was blue and brown in color.Wait. Brown?I looked at it well… and then I tensed.It wasn’t the sky I was looking at. It was Landon’s eyes, his blue eyes, and also his face— hence the added brown color. I felt my body against his. He was carrying me.How…The last thing I remembered was me asking him to drop me so how is it that he was carrying me in his arms again?What did he do to me?!I grew a frown in reaction now and just then, I heard his voice. “You’re awake.” He said as he noticed. “You fai—” “Drop me.” I told him as I motioned to climb down from his body. “Ciril. You’re—”“Put me down!” I prompted him as I tried to place my legs on the ground at once. He helped me by immediately lowering me since I was being hasty, and I finally planted my l
{Anne’s POV} ~ Several Hours Ago During The Long Night ~ I followed her scent… and when her scent was beginning to fail me as her blood was now contaminated, I followed her growling. I felt weak. I had just given a good gauge of my blood to Ciril so I could only crawl very slowly now.But then I finally got to my sister. It wasn’t hard locating her considering how loudly she was growling. She was still a bit conscious but then this was the turning stage. She was in a fierce battle with the infection but then it was a vain one as it was clear that the infection would win. It had won over thousands of Reignile citizens so it would definitely win over her. I was made emotional by this fact. I’ve not known any emotion ever since I had my eyes plucked out but in this moment, sitting close to Anita and pulling her against my skin, I felt really bruised and helpless hearing how distressed my baby sister was sounding. She struggled to break free from me while she simultaneously called m
