War and Conflict is on the way… but also is drama… Oh, and Abasha is putting up quite the show at the Palace… lol. See yA!
{Ciril’s POV} I love you.I didn’t know when those words poured out of my mouth, but I couldn’t take them back now.But even more significantly, I didn’t want to take them back. Yeah. There was a feeling that wrapped around my chest, as if tightening my heart a little so that it beat faster than it normally would. This feeling came about when I said those three words, and it came with a crazy rush… but then it wasn’t an uncomfortable feeling.In fact, it was an exciting and relieving feeling— and this made it strange to me. Thus my heart was beating fast now but it was as if a weight had been lifted off of me. I didn’t quite understand the entire concept of what was happening to me… but one thing that I was sure about was that I wanted to say those three blissful words again.Saying them had made me feel blissful, and that bliss multiplied when I drove my gaze back to Landon’s face and caught the look he had on. He looked broken… but remade at the same time… He looked at me lik
{Ciril’s POV} Landon was conscious.I had heard his low grunt and seen his eyelids twitch, and was very sure of it. “Landon?” I called his name hopefully now. Even though I had seen signs that he was conscious, I was still hopeful and wishful that he was actually conscious.‘Cause it was one thing to see signs and another for those signs to mean something tangible.I got no response with my first call so I called him again. “Landon?” I said again and this time, I also thought I wasn’t going to get a promising response, but just then, he shifted his head from one angle to the other. I tensed.And then I motioned to speak but then his following movements cut me off from that. I had forgotten my right hand on his right chest so now, he slowly and randomly placed his hand on my hand that was resting on his chest. With that, I was made aware of the contact, but I didn’t mind that now.What mattered to me was the fact that he was fully conscious, and I thought my relief couldn’t be more
{Ciril’s POV} Color returned to Landon’s skin. I was watching it happen but I didn’t believe it or understand it.He was supposed to be bleeding out, losing blood and dying, but instead of doing that, his blood was circulating through his body. And it looked more red than black-stained. It looked healthy— like the infection had been terminated.He was still motionless as he lay in the blood pool and I slowly rose to my feet in my confusion and alarm.I spat out blood from my mouth now— his loose shoulder bone had torn the insides of my mouth earlier when I had been wildly biting him in my outburst, so I spat out the blood from the wound now. I was shaky and in that manner, I started pacing towards him, slowly and quietly. I fancied that he was looking more alive now but none of this still made sense to me so I was more horrified and hesitant than reassured. With my timid steps, I soon hovered before him and stared with a shaky breath as I took in the sight of him on the dusty gro
{Ciril’s POV} Landon was cold.And I’m not talking about the cold one would feel on a rainy and windy night. I’m talking about a freezing type of cold where the skin feels like a rigid and firm stretch of plastic instead of the living wrap that ties our organs together.He was still in my arms and I was still stroking his skin but now, I was properly alarmed. I had been stroking his chest, his body for the past several minutes and it felt like all I had been doing was in vain.He wasn’t responding.My heat wasn’t getting into his body and the more the seconds ticked by, the more it felt like he was fading away.The blood he had been spitting out earlier was a result of the hints of the Feral blood still in his body. With the feelings of his heart towards me, he had set himself free from the Ferality but then bits of the infection that was still in his blood had been attacking his body— killing him from the inside while we had been journeying. I had been ignorant of it earlier and now
{Ciril’s POV} After several minutes of limping and scowling, I got back to the Shelter.— the Shelter where I had left Landon in.I got in and was finally shielded from the heavy downpour. The rain had grown more aggressive, but I had persisted under it so that now that I was back inside the shelter, I felt angry at myself.I felt angry at myself because I had gone through all this strain and had come back all because of Landon.— I had done this, despite saying that I couldn’t and wouldn’t, so now, I was angry at myself because of that. I trailed over to where Landon was now with a scowl on my face, I felt like I hated him more now that it was clear that he was the reason I had returned.But hey, let’s not misunderstand things here. I’m only back here because I just want to be sure he’s breathing and still alive. He’s survival is not my fucking responsibility but because I don’t have a vile heart, checking to see if he’s alive was what I was going to do— and then I would leave..I
{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 wasn
