And there you have it… The retribution chapter you’ve been waiting for. I hope y’all liked it. But it ain’t over yet… so… See yA!
{Ciril’s POV} “Now you will join them.” The Dark One’s voice reigned on me. My hand ached..It ached because my grip was uncomfortable.I was barely hanging. The burst of the Dark One’s action had been so sudden and I had barely caught myself from falling so the way I was positioned now was not something you would call convenient.And to make it worse, I was forced out of the Celestial State because of the stun of that moment. I was scared now— scared of falling. Scared of dying.Coupled with the rage of the water streaming down below, I wasn’t a very good swimmer, so the chances of me surviving such a fall even in the Celestial State were very slim— or didn’t even exist. The Dark One was standing menacingly before me now, relishing in all his self-induced glory. He looked very pleased as he gazed down at me. To him, he had won and the only thing left was to bash me into the raging current… but what he didn’t know was that I still had a move to pull. I was hanging barely from the
{Ciril’s POV} “After all that you’ve done, you run?” I muttered now, discussing the fact that I had just been chasing after the so-called Lord of Darkness— the Dark One of the army of the undead, the one who turns days into night.— turns out he had turned the day into night just so he could sneak away in the shadows. “I’m not running.” The Dark One responded now. “Seems like it to me, but you know what? I don’t care. You are before me now with nowhere to run to and that’s what matters.” I said and stepped forward with my fists clenched. “You’re not going anywhere again.”“I don’t want to go anywhere.” The Dark One started to say, his tone suddenly confident. He groaned a bit before he continued to speak. “Look around you, the area— look at how shambolic it is, for which one slip can lead to instant death. I needed you here because it turns out that I fight better when I’m in a dire situation.” He said and stepped closer towards me now, staggering a bit. “The blind Wretch that’s
{Ciril’s POV} I made sure the spear pierced through his heart and standing before him now, he looked like a confused bleeding mess.He was just realizing that allowing him to smash me against the wall had been part of my plan from the start and after a moment, he reflected anger plus a defeated look on his face.I left the Celestial State and went back to normal form now. I gazed at the Dark One with hate and contempt and he did the same towards me, only that pain was added to his list.“You…” he started to mutter, breaking the tense silence between us. I glared at him and didn’t say anything while he spoke. “You’re.. you're stubborn, I give you that.” He said, panting, and in reaction, I raised a brow at his unwillingness to admit that I had won. I prompted him to say it now. “Do you still think I am losing?” I asked him now and he smiled weakly. It was his characteristic gesture, smiling like a lunatic, and he did so now instead of immediately responding.I didn’t wait for his re
{Ciril’s POV} There was a burst of action from the Dark One and me. And then there was the furious sprinting before we both aggressively bashed into one another…Back when the Dark One had been stroking my hair, he had unknowingly touched the skin of my forehead in the process, making me realize that I was immune to being withered by his touch.So now, while we swung powerful fists at each other and I grasped his hand— his skin, nothing happened. So I hauled him against a pillar and smashed him through it so that he realized the same too. He rose up to his feet looking confused.He stared at his hand and then he stared at me as I snarled angrily at him. He was confused by two things— the fact that I was immune to his infecting skin and the fact that I had suddenly tossed him away like that.I kept snarling at him now and then I settled into a low fighting position. Everyone I love, he has either killed or turned in Ferals so I wasn’t here to play games with him.He growled at me an
{Ciril’s POV} Light poured into my eyes and the next thing I saw were claws swinging at me as growls reigned in the air. They were my mother’s claws and they were fast so that I had to evade— and not retaliate.This was the plan..I couldn’t attack them back but only try to restrain them… hence the plan was going to be a difficult one.More claws and fangs came at me and I swiveled around all of them before gripping Anika’s jaw when she attempted to bite me. I pushed her away and then I bashed Princess Anita to the ground. It was a light blow that wouldn’t hurt her, but then it was still a little too strong because of the power of the Celestial State. I needed to soften my attempts a little more or else I would hurt them when I don’t intend to.My mother came at me again. For some reason, she was the most fierce out of all of them and I suspected it was because the Dark One willed it to be so but then I didn’t have time to confirm as she aggressively came swerving for my face.I dro
{Ciril’s POV} I was confused by where Anne had gone to hide and had come out from but then it turned out that she had been here all along.She had been here all along, pretending to be under the Dark One’s hold and waiting for the right time to strike. — Or maybe she hadn’t been pretending. Anne didn’t look like she was one who would act like she was being twisted by the Dark One’s magic— she was that nonchalant. So maybe it had been the Dark One who had ‘missed something’— missed Anne.Landon had told the Dark One that he would miss something and the Dark One had retaliated with confidence and assurance, but it turns out that he actually missed something. He had been ignorant and now, he was on the ground unconscious.I tensed with the thought. We could win now…Anne dropped the metal weight she had used on the Dark One’s head and paced over to me, crashing on the ground before me. She was blind so she had her gaze arrowed elsewhere as she used her hands to try to properly make ou
