Alessia's POVSilence prevailed between Erigor and me. I couldn't speak because all my attention was on him. I'm afraid that if I get distracted, I'll ruin it right away. I cannot underestimate his ability, because it would be a big mistake to underestimate him.We were both waiting to see who would attack first. But I have no intention of getting ahead. I will be in a disadvantageous position if I will attack first. I looked at Sushi who still had a fierce look on his face.Mine own mistress, receiveth out from there! Thee has no chance against your creature!I feel that what Sushi says is true. To be honest, I have nothing against Erigor, especially with his body which is stretched. But if I don't fight, what will I do? I'll just let him hurt me and do what he wants. I can't agree with that.In the middle of my thoughts, Erigor suddenly attacked and it hit my stomach so I was thrown backward. I rolled around in the garden and I could feel that my arms were covered with wounds due to
Alessia's POVI am smeared with my tears because my vision is dimming at the bottom of the cliff. I can't seem to accept that he fell off the cliff and he saved me, that I should have saved him. He did something wrong, but I changed my view of him. In every evil, there is a hidden well. And just like good, there is underlying evil.Even the relic also fell down the cliff. Why do things seem to be getting worse? When will these problems end? How do I tell Elijah—or should I say how do I get out of here now that Erigor is gone?I clenched my fists and felt the torn fabric from Erigor's neck. I held it up to look. The cloth was dirty and I also noticed Erigor's braided necklace. I can now see the stone he sculpted up close.It's rough and I'd say it's badly carved, but when I think about it, it's the only memory left of Erigor, along with this place he called La Krispana.I let go of the dirty cloth. I hid the necklace that was the memory of Erigor in my pocket. I will never forget this
Alessia's POVWe were all speechless. All our eyes are on the creature in front of us. It's also strangely similar to Faris who doesn't look like a whole person.He has long black hair. His ears are similar to a dog placed on top of his head, but his face is so human—but unearthly beautiful. His eyes are golden. His body is naked but is covered with lush hair from his waist down. It's like pants made of fur. His body is so ripped. His fingers are long and slim with sharp nails. He's a perfect definition of a human beast.He looks very clean because of his whiteness. Then, he must be the Cerberus, in human form. The scar from his cheek down to his neck is noticeable. I frowned because of the intense familiarity of that scar."Cerberus?" I couldn't stop saying as I stood in front of him. He's towering above me, he and Elijah are the same height. They have the same build and are both unearthly beautiful."I am, child." He answered and it was like a bell in my ears. I frowned and an idea
Alessia's POVI was NOT able to speak after my words. Stefano entered the conversation so no answer was given. I didn't force it anymore because I knew it would be pointless to force it. The important thing right now is that we have the relic. But I can't help but harbor a grudge against Sudanni or Erigor.Everyone was happy, except for me who was quiet and did not participate in the fun. I know that Elijah noticed that but he didn't talk to me and let me be quiet for now. It's better this way because I don't want him to pile up the resentment and anger that I can't release.Sudanni also decided to join our remaining mission, going to Mythion. At first, Elijah couldn't believe it, but they agreed. Sudanni didn't give his reason for coming and even though I wanted to know that, I didn't bother to ask. If he wants to inform, Sudanni will tell even if no one asks.We immediately traveled out of Callora Grande. I didn't know there was a way out without jumping or crossing a cliff. There i
Third Person's POVThe rain that Honey expected did not come. Instead, dark objects gradually descend. Brings danger and disaster."Get out of here! The demons are coming!" The sentinels screamed and he just turned to the forest when the birds suddenly fluttered there that seemed to be disturbed by the great commotion.Honey quickly ran back to her home fearing for their safety. He opened the door to the hideout and heard the terrible sound of a monster.But he didn't budge there. He quickly went inside and closed the door and it was inside. He saw his brother huddled in a corner turning pale as he also heard the beast's howl."A-ate..." it was just a whisper but the fear could be heard in her voice."Don't be afraid, I will protect you," Honey said and hugged her sister who was shaking with fear.This was the first time that the town of Samona was attacked by demons. Everyone is surrounded by fear and there is no certainty of survival.While outside, the sentinels were confused becau
Alessia's POVWho could have thought that death itself will come to me? To take away my soul without any reason? It shouldn't be like this. A reaper only takes a soul if an immortal is dead. I'm very much alive and I'm not dead yet for him to pick up! Have his eyes been defective somehow?"N-no. Why are you taking someone else's soul who's not even dead in the first place!" I couldn't stop screaming. I am very much alive to be treated this way. I am not dead and definitely will not be! This reaper might be dreaming or something.You believe that in this world, you are alive. You are a scarred soul, child. It's time for you to go back to where you are supposed to be. Defying your fate will only cause misery to the living. The reaper said and I backed away because of what he said.I am what? A scarred soul? What does he mean? What does he mean I'm just a fugitive soul? I'm not dead for him to say that. How am I a fugitive soul? Is this reaper crazy so what is he saying?"I am not a scar
Alessia's POVI pray that the demon will not enter Honey's ruined house. Because if that happens, I'm sure I'll have no escape. I don't know where Sushi is now I need him. Elijah is impossible to rescue me because of the ongoing crisis and I understand that. They cannot prioritize me especially when the town is in ruins. The majority is more important than one person.I covered my ears with my hands when I heard that the demon seemed to be eating the body of the corpse. My whole body was filled with horror and my tears were unstoppable. I held back my crying because I was afraid that the demons would notice. I want to eat more in fear but I'm more afraid that the demons will notice and I'll be the next one to eat.The smell of blood spread around which made my stomach feel even worse that I wanted to throw up. The blood you smell from an animal used to be different, from the blood you smell from a person being slaughtered.I don't know how long I covered my ears. My tears rolled down
Alessia's POVWe got home to the Palace immediately. Elijah made me wear a black hood so I wouldn't attract attention in the palace. I want to rest and if the palace staff sees me I know that my day will not be quiet.Sushi was just following me and the palace staff didn't notice us. They gave more attention to the Sentinels who needed attention because of the dirt on their bodies. Elijah also did not allow me to help with the treatment because he said I had to put myself first. After all, I was not getting enough rest. I can't argue with him anymore because even my body is giving up.I went upstairs because I needed a shower and fell asleep. I don't care if I haven't eaten yet because my tiredness has a stronger influence than the hunger I feel.I immediately entered my room and inhaled the familiar smell of flowers. I immediately took off the black hood and just let it fall to the floor.Estrebelle immediately came out of the bathroom prepared for my arrival."Miss Alessia, your bat
