(MADDEST HEART)“IS YOUR WORTH, REALLY THAT HIGH AND STRONG, KYLE?”The whispering voices that Kyle is hearing, with their words that is taunting him and pushing him deeper into the madness that he already is dwelling upon. “My worth?”He asks with the wide devil’s smile that could send anyone that fear and shiver down to their spines.“Yes, your worth. Just how much is it right now?”“More than, more than you could even imagine.”His mad replay while looking towards the darkness and into that nothingness. Giggling in the tone that is cursing and at the same time drawing that insanity out of him. “More?” the whispering voice smirks. The taunting and mocking immediately left him speechless, but still draws that insane expression like a mad clown whose goal and happiness in life is to kill. “But why is it that the Shrine Maiden is not seeking for you first, and instead towards the piece of the shard who is your current rival?”“Shut up.”“Your beloved Shrine Maiden, the lady that yo
(THE EYES THAT LIES)“ARE you heeding to confirm that we are right, Kyle?”The voices inside his head still taunt him. Giggling and murmuring the words that are all a repetitive sequence and questions that he already answered, yet are still there like a sticky paste and wouldn’t leave him alone. “Right or wrong, do I need to be worried about that stupid thing?”Kyle’s answer is out of the question, but close to the fact of who he is all along. Playing in between good and evil. The hero and the villain in the story. The dark prince wanted to protect the princess and at the same time wanted to curse her. “You didn’t answer our question.”“Damn! I already give you my answer.”He screams, fed up with the voices inside his head that he wanted to strangle, but couldn’t. All knowing that it is all inside his head and all along is his conscience. “Did you?”“When?”“Did we hear it?”“Tell us again.”The madness of his entire being, the curse that he couldn’t longer control, and somewhat th
(LIES UNDER THE TRUTH)“THE lies and the truth. The facts that you wanted to know and at the same time not. Are up to kill your reality with the things that you wanted to know, Beatrice?”“I—”Beatrice stops for a while, thinking deep and currently is being consume by Kyle darkness without any hesitation nor a bit of effort. For she as the strip of the whole is currently dwelling into doubts and worry for the things that she knew and just found out.“Being a strip of her. Just who do you think you are to offer such a stupid contract?”She remembers the words and that particular devilish smile that for the first time brought shivers down her spine. The commandment that she thinks will be an easy prey in becoming her chess piece of a pun, but she was wrong.“You know who you are Beatrice? No, the correct words and question is, do you know who you really are?”The taunting and words that are still echoing inside her mind. Remembering the horror that she first witness and trigger somethin
(THE REALITY’S END GAME) “YOU are lying.” The in denial behind the fear and currently twisting mind that is making Beatrice a bit insane. The fact that she is currently debating to herself if she should believe Kyle or not. “I told you, didn’t I? I do not care if you will believe everything of what I said to you. Nor I have an ounce of heart to bring those facts delicately that you wanted me to. But it was the truth, the facts that you couldn’t do anything about, nor you have the right to protest.” “Stop! I am who I am. I maybe only a strip of my whole darkness, but I know where I came from and what I was made! I am HIS pure YIN, nothing more nothing less.” Her stance and words that she believes and wanted. Even promises from the deepest part of her mind that she will only believe of that fact that she knew for eternity. Yet, Kyle’s smile, that Cheshire smile is shaking her to have and feel the chill down her spine, that everything of what she initially knows
(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?”
