(OFFSPRINGS)“NATE.”Farah calls, firm and with authority right after she felt Nate’s presence.“Tsk!”“You do know that no one of us can sneak the other without that person sensing the other person’s mana, right?”She reminded him and the rules that govern the twelve of them. Yet rather the rules that govern the twelve zodiac holders that they couldn’t change, defy nor ignore. With her current status and identity as the Scorpion holder which allows her to sense the other holders, but one.“You also know that from the twelve zodiac holders, guardians and loyal sword of the Maiden, Daniela’s presence is the only thing that we couldn’t sense if she wanted to, am I correct, Nate?”“I do not need to be reminded by a fake holder.”Nate’s reply and showing himself in front of Farah with the irritated expression and angered tone. Which Farah wouldn’t blame him from. Knowing that from what happened, the transfer and strings wasn’t patch and quickly than it should be. Instead it multiplies and
(BALANCE)“SCORPIO’S HOLDER.”Kevin whispers, thinking of the past and his position as Haru from his original world and book. Intently looking at the still unconscious Marie, that by one point almost spread the total darkness of her mana, worst, it was unconsciously.“Tsk!” he smirks with the menacing eyes and clearly hated heart towards the holder. “Shard or not. They are all the same, for once a dark holder will always be the traitor one.”He somehow said the words like foreshadowing the future that is only to come. Just then, he suddenly recalls.“When you’ve been touch by the darkness once, then you can never escape from it. What more to someone like me who is holding everyone’s darkness and juggling it? Do you think that I will only stand by and not even once be consumed and whole by it? Tell me your answer, our little prince, Haru.”“Tsk!”The past and the taunting that Kevin will never forget. That tragedy from his original world and book that started the destruction that thoug
(UNRESTRICTED) “I BEG of you, save her. Save my sister, Marie.” The request that Farah’s soul asks of her. The time that Haruna receives the vessel without anything to exchange it with. The willingness of Farah to give her body to protect and secure Marie’s life and future. Is something that Haruna couldn’t just abandon. “Just how foolish!” Kevin smirks a bit giggle, reading Haruna’s thoughts and how stupid it is for him to even consider. “I didn’t expect that the equivalent offspring and I in the other world and book are this weak. But I guess, I couldn’t complain too much, since you aren’t the perfect one, Haruna.” The insults and the words sure enough trigger Haruna’s anger, yet more than being stupid just like Haru said and engaging in a useless fight that she knew that no one of them will be able to win. She is left to endure those words, clench her hands and let her be slapped with the truth that no matter how cunning, powerful, and equivalent in ability and
(ASKING ABOUT TRUST) A SINISTER smile draws to Haru’s face while looking menacingly towards Marie that is acting like a shy kid inside a new and surprising environment that only disappoints and irritates him more. “Are you alright? Do you feel any discomfort or anything right now?” “No, no, no! I am alright.” The flustered face and panic of Marie, for suddenly being asked and a first from someone and especially by an attractive man. Her beating wild heart and reddened ears didn’t become unnoticed by Haru. Her childish attitude that he can imagine her dependent nature towards Haruna is disgusting to him. But for now, the only thing that he can do and not cause any rift between them Haruna is that one thing. “That is a relief.” He smiles and his little act of concern and gladness is behind his scheme and hate. “Do you want to see Farah, for she just instructed me to take you to where she is the moment that you regain your consciousness?” “Farah did?”
(CROOKED SMILE)JEALOUSY.That is the word that immediately registered inside Marie’s mind. Added to the certain pain inside her heart that is only buried with the uncertainty and confusion from her innocence and guarded purity. An emotion that is leaving her with the uneasy feeling that she wanted to scream it all out, yet she couldn’t. For that certain way is unfit and a sin that will disappoint Farah, which she doesn’t want and ever. “I will be back soon. Marie.”“Alright.”The hesitation in her voice that she immediately hides and escapes with her cheerful smile. Fakery, her façade, and the mask that she unconsciously wears from time to time. Hiding those emotions that she knew, but currently, she is blinded by the protection that Farah is giving her. A fact that Jeffrey notice, no, he figures out easily and immediately without giving any effort for it. “Take care, Farah. Ke--.”Another hesitation, no, it is more like completely stopping herself from calling the name and casuall
(WARM SMILE)BOTH hold their breath, looking forward and all compose and calm despite the thrill and hope that they are having inside their heart. “Are you up to this right now?”“Perhaps do you mean, if we are both ready?”Their simple exchange, with their blank expression and the vessel that they both didn’t originally own where one was borrowed and the other is a bit stolen from someone. The entwine fates that were braided from the beginning, the chance and the path that they will take without any reasons not to. Their souls and the reflection from the original which are both of them from a different world and book, now are about to see, hold, and hopefully, be acknowledged by the person they long for so long. “Aren’t we?”Kevin’s reply, was no, this time he should be addressed to his original name and identity, Haru. A pentagram then appears, drawing the symbols and emitting a hue that resembles the night sky, a purple one that only one person could have. That distinct hue and d
(EXCHANGE)“IT’S nice to finally have you here, Marie.”The smile of the head witch, the queen of their small convent. One of the twelve holders, owner of the zodiac goddess Libra. A pure witch that governs both the light and dark spells while monitoring the spells in between, Bianca. “S-s-so do I.”The uneasy feeling, both calmness, and warning that Marie immediately felt in front of the four equally gorgeous women, somehow bares a kind of fang, different yet all have the same amount of venom. Beautiful but dangerous, that is what the back of her mind is currently screaming towards her. More than that, she couldn’t help but be struck by the beauty of Charmaine. Her eyes are kind of threatening, yet there is a warmth and security that’s telling that she is not fond of other people. She is the kind of person that you can trust. It is just that, you shouldn’t cross the line and broke that trust, for she is not the kind of person that you wanted to be your enemy. “Isn’t Charmaine a un
(KNOCKING IN EXCHANGE)“WELL, WELL, WELL. Isn’t it time?”The smile is not eerie, nor dominating, a bit sinister, and somewhere in between all of those descriptions. HE stands, looks at once to the mirror, and somewhat checks if the things that are set and needed are placed in their proper order. “Chie.” HE calls, but then. “That’s right she isn’t here right now, then perhaps.”A chilling smile draws to HIS face, snapping HIS finger and immediately draws a pentagram with the symbols and words that HE can only understand and use. A small gate then appears, mark with the image of thorny roses and a maple tree. Slowly it opens, then a footstep echoes, stepping outside and immediately bowing right before him with the words of respect. “You called upon this humble servant of yours, Supreme God.”“No need for long formalities. I need someone fast to relay a message to my pieces, and I think that you are the perfect one for that job, Jaira.”With the blank expression and always dull face.
