I looked at Acheron for the last time before stepping inside the former deities' fortress. His face is crumpled in distress. I hate seeing that look on his face so I had to look away.
My Acheron.
With every step I take, fear crept through my veins but I had to fight it. I won't let fear get the best of me. I am more than my fear.
I tried my best to appear unbothered and confident. I won't let them use my fear against me. Never. I am now standing in front of Vedetta with Ludracyre's guardians above her shoulders. The one I must defeat.
"Be advised that you have a time limit. This—" Vedetta stated as she points the hourglass inside her hollow chest. "—is your tim
Third person's point of view The stygian and dreary night has wrapped the land of Trealvale like a veil of darkness. There's something in silence that makes it eerie. The people of Trealvale fell into a deep slumber except for a certain group of people. They were inside a room of a castle hidden from anyone's sight, preparing to execute their plan."Based on my calculation, they should be here by tomorrow morning," said the elder.Then she proceeds on explaining their plan for the last time. "As planned, Lucian and Lucille will take care of the guards and the crown while Donovan and I, will go straight to the fraud Emperatrice's room. There will be tons of guards so be careful. Once we enter her room we will inject a potion into her system so she won't be able to shapeshift anymore—""Make sure to succeed in the first try. We only have one shot," th
Third person's point of view "Huwag ka ngang puro sorry diyan! Sagutin mo ang tanong namin. Nasaan si milady?" nakatiim-bagang na tanong ni Lucian. Nakakuyom na ang kaniyang mga kamao. Hindi niya makapa ang kaniyang emosyon. Galit, pagka-inis, kaba at takot. Halo halo na ang kaniyang nararamdaman para na siyang sasabog.Hikbi lang ang tanging isinagot sa kaniya ni Acheron at nanatili itong nakaluhod. Mas lalong nagpuyos sa galit si Lucian. "Ano ba!" sigaw niya ulit. Nagtatagis ang mga ngipin niya sa galit at parang malalagot na ang litid niya sa lakas ng kaniyang sigaw."Acheron.." nangingilid ang luhang tawag sa kaniya ng kaniyang ina.Hindi siya makapagsalita. Hindi matagpuan ni Acheron ang boses niya. Pakiramdam niya ay bigla siyang na-pipi. Hindi niya kayang sabihin na wala na Tanisha kaya't ang Emperatrice na ang nagsalita bagamat katulad ni Acheron ay hirap din ito.
Acheron's point of viewThe water leaking from the ceiling that fell on my face had kissed me awake, drenched. I twitched in pain when I tried to move my body, and when I recovered from the sudden lash of pain, I slowly opened my eyes and afterwards there was obscurity, murkiness all there was. I've never been to a dark place as this. I wanted to move my hands but I couldnʼt even lift a finger for there was something hindering my hands from moving. Persistent, I once again tried moving my hand and this time, I succeeded even if it was just an inch. The clunking sounds of metals hitting against the marble floor resonated through the wall as I continue to move my hand and thatʼs when I realized I was chained. Both of my hands were covered with metal, not showing any of my fingers. I managed to lift my hand up to mid air but it dropped to the ground for it was heavy, and I was too weak.What the hell happened? And where am i?
Third person's point of viewNang makaalis na si Prinsesa Aislynn ay agad na ipinatawag ni Headmistress ang kaniyang tapat na alagad. Inutusan niya itong mag-imbestiga ukol sa sinabi ng prinsesa at nagpag-alaman niyang tama nga ang lahat ng iyon ang hindi niya lang mapunto ay kung bakit iyon sinabi sa kaniya ni Prinsesa Aislynn. Sa kaniya na ba siya kampi at hindi sa kapatid at pamilya nito?Ipinatawag niya ang lahat ng kaniyang tapat na alagad at kawal. Napagpasyahan niyang sumugod sa kuta ni Queen Bernadette para biglain ito at hindi na magawang makalaban. Hindi siya makapapayag na may ibang makinabang sa trono ng kanilang pamilya maliban sa kaniya. Makikipag patayan siya para dito. Lulan ng kanilang mga kabayo ay nagtungo sila sa kahari
Acheron's point of viewI was rooted to the spot and my eyes were fixed at her. Is it really her? I rubbed my eyes, squinted it and even blink numerous times to make sure what I am seeing is real. Her body resembles a blasting fire, consuming the invulnerable obscurity of the night. She glided in front of us with her fiery wings. I look straight into her eyes. She still possess the same silvery gray eyes. She smiled and my grief was halted.We were all astounded. No one uttered a single word. It's as if we lost our voices at once. The fire that's covering her body disappeared as she saunter closer to us."You guys looks like you've seen a ghost. Look how pale your faces are." As if on cue, our mouth fell wide open. It's Tanisha's v
"You... you are a deity?" Lucian asked in utter stun. I told them everything but I left the part about me being pregnant. I am worried. Not only I fell in love with a water manipulator, he even got me pregnant. This baby.. I'm afraid what would he or she become and what will happen to my child once someone found out."That's what I said, Lucian." They were all looking at me as if I am some kind of luxurious thing they can't afford."I can't believe I raised a deity!" Elizabeth exclaimed.After I explained everything—well not entirely, we paved our way to the castle of Trealvale. Ang iba ay bumalik na sa kani-kanilang mga kaharian. Tanging mga kaibigan ko na lang, ang ina ko at si Elizabeth ang kasama ko papuntang kastilyo ng Trealvale.Napatingin ako sa gawi ni Acheron. I quickly look away when our eyes met. Nakatingin din pala siya sa akin. My heart was pounding against my chest. There's pain, and l
Abalang-abala ang buong kaharian sa paghahanda sa kasal namin ni Lucian, lahat sila masaya at excited but not me. It's been two weeks since the day Acheron offered me to run away with him. It's been two weeks since I turned my back to him, and it's been two weeks since my heart died. Hindi na ulit bumalik pa dito sa palasyo si Acheron. Gustuhin ko mang puntahan siya to see him, ano naman ang sasabihin ko? I'll just make it hard for the both of us. Alam ko namang kahit anong gawin namin ay wala kaming laban sa tadhana.Tumatak sa isip ko ang sinabi ni Elizabeth no'ng nakaraang linggo matapos niyang marining ang usapan namin ni Lucian tungkol kay Acheron."You know why water and fire can't be together?" she asked me."Because it's two opposing elemental mana?" I answered, unsure.She nodded her head. "That's one thing. But moreover, water is very dangerous. It can quench fire. This is why I'm aga
Hindi magkandaugaga ang lahat ng mga tao sa loob ng palasyo dahil sa paghahanda sa gaganaping koronasyon mamaya. Pagkatapos ng kasal namin ni Lucian ay hindi na sila nag-aksaya ng panahon at agad agad ng sinimulan ang paghahanda. Naipabatid na rin nila sa iba't-ibang kaharian ang mangyayare mamaya. Tanging ang kaharian lang ng Destruria ang hindi nabigyan dahil wala na ang kaharian. Nang mamatay si Queen Bernadette ay naglaho na rin ang asawa nito kaya naman walang namumuno ngayon sa Destruria. Ang dating magarang palasyo ay mas naging magara ngayon. Nagliliwanag ito dahil sa mga gintong palamuti sa bawat sulok. Namamasa na ang mga kamay ko dahil sa sobrang kaba. Ang sabi sa akin ni Elizabeth ay isang sentence lang naman ang sasabihin ko mamaya pero hindi parin maalis ang kaba sa d****b ko. I'm having a cold feet. Kung dati ay sigurado na akong gagampanan ko ang responsibilidad kong ito, ngayon ay parang gusto ko ng umatras.
