Fear
A lamp gave light in a dark and dusty room but its light did not reach a corner where Felix was standing. In that corner, he was holding a gold necklace tightly.He saw the necklace at that corner of the room.
Earlier, he and Renata returned to their home in Rajanseth. As expected, it was dilapidated and dusty, but there were parts of the house that remained as solid as the room where Felix was.
He did not expect that he would see the necklace in their room. Velo always wears it because Felix gave it to her to express how much he loves his beloved.
He kissed the necklace and tried not to cry. He brought it close to his chest while holding it tightly. He took a deep breath and turned around to get out of the room.
Broken appliances and a door leaning against the wall were the first tocame in his sight. He pic

Renata's Dream Chapter XIII
Chapter XIII Fear Part 2 A butterfly landed on Revi's shoulder, causing her to return to reality. "Oh, my pleasure." Renata smiled. Eventually the boy's story entered her mind and began to process everything. This time, she felt pity towards him. "What's your name?" "I'm Lamar . . . Lamar Menken," he introduced himself. "And I'm Renata Viglianco. You can call me Revi instead." She offered a handshake. "I heard your name . . ." Revi wasn’t surprised anymore. She was expecting this because she and her father were one of the topics on the island. ". . . Youʼre the one whoʼs going outside. Arenʼt you afraid? Itʼs dangerous. Look what they did." Renata just smiled. "If we won't try, then who will?" Lamar just stared at her, he had no reaction. "We can do everything we want. We can try . . . But thereʼs something pulling us not to continue. We are afraid to fail,
Renata's Dream Chapter XIV
Chapter XIV Deceptive Paradise There were enormous buildings in their sight. Those buildings were tall and sturdy. Most of the buildings they were seeing were made of stone but not far away, the tallest building was made of lustrous glass. Revi and Felix’s jaws dropped as they saw the world outside the island. This is very different from Atolon. Not only in the buildings but also in the clothes of the people here. Revi beamed. “This. . . is the world I saw in my dreams! ” She gazed at her father. “Father, the outside world! We’re here in the outside world! ” The young and fragile Renata was ecstatic as she looked around. For a moment, the sins of Madreign’s people on her island disappeared from her mind. For now, she felt some freedom because she was finally outside Atolon as she always wanted. Deafening chatters entered the Vigliancos’ ears as they walked along the side o

Chapter XV Deceptive Paradise Part 2 Felix raised his eyebrow. “For . . . real?” The vendor grinned. “Yes, sir. Today, our city is celebrating the Lavish Moon Festival. In this festival, we’re cherishing the beauty of the full moon who gave light and prosperity to the city 392 years ago. And as a token of appreciation for attending the festival, I’ll give you some of my delicious foods for free.” Renata looked at her father. “You heard that, Father? Free food for today!” Her eyes began to sparkle. Felix just sighed and thanked the vendor. He watched his daughter grab some food. “Thank you!” Revi yelled while walking away at the stall. “May the moon be your light!” the vendor shouted back. Renata immediately ate what she got as she walked with Felix. The Vigliancos decided to stay in the provincial area first where the beautiful plain
Renata's Dream Chapter XVI
Chapter XVI Heroes Everyone is free, but if someone tried to take one’s freedom, the price shall be his freedom, too. However, the norm had changed. One’s freedom could be other’s demise and since that day, freedom became slavery. ~*~ Susan gave Felix a hot cup of coffee. She temporarily let Felix in her home to make him rest after a long journey while Renata and Yner were outside, playing in the hammock. She sighed and sat down in front of Felix. “I'm sorry that our house is messy.” She chuckled. Felix nodded. “It’s fine,” he said, “by the way, how far is the house to the city?” “It’s pretty far. Probably it’ll take 30 minutes or more to arrive in the city if you’ll just use your feet in transportation.” She took a sip from her coffee. Felix nodded. “A horse will be enough to arrive earlier, ri
Renata's Dream Chapter XVII
Chapter XVII Heroes Part 2 Yner was stunned. He didn’t expect to receive such words from their new neighbor. He sighed and lowered his gaze. “I see. You’re really a foreigner.” Revi didn’t respond. She was expecting something . . . She was expecting an explanation or an answer to her question. Why does mother need to die? Why do you need to take her life? Answer me . . . please. Yner slowly returned to the swing and silently sat there. Revi just watched him return and didn’t bother to move a single step to approach him. Revi sighed and went near him. She finally decided to let herself hear what he’ll say as she’s mentally demanding an explanation. “Foreigners hate us . . . and so do you. They hate us for fighting what’s rightfully ours, for fighting our rights. Can’t they just understand that we are suffering too?” Yner painfully gazed at Renata. “Why can’t you
Renata's Dream Chapter XVIII
Chapter XVIII The Wind and the Art Months passed after the Vigliancos landed their feet to the lands of Madreign, they found it hard to adjust themselves in this new environment. They were so lucky that the Louises were their only neighbor. This made their atmosphere much easier than expected. However, they often needed to go to the city to make money and to buy goods for their living. Aside from documenting everything they witnessed in Madreign, they were also taking care of their horses. The ship’s crew landed their horses somewhere else near Madreign’s pier where no Madreese can witness them, to avoid suspicion. Felix also enrolled Renata into a school, and because they were pretending that they came from Delural, they bought a wig to change their hair color. ~*~ “Five more minutes,” Renata’s writing teacher
Renata's Dream Chapter XIX
Chapter XIX The Wind and the Art Part 2 Renata ignored her and turned around, then she spoke again, “I’m . . . I’m Naya. What’s your name?” Revi didn’t utter a single word. Naya spoke again, “I won’t report you, don’t worry.” Revi clenched her jaw because of that. Do you think I’ll trust you? For sure, you’re a hypocrite. Revi took a step forward and didn’t mind Naya, but Naya chased Renata. “Hey, wait!” She grabbed Revi’s arm. Revi’s eyes widened and immediately retrieved her arm. “Get your filthy hands off me!” Her eyes were bloodshot. Naya was stunned. “I-I just . . .” Renata slowly came closer and closer to her. Her eyes became black and her voice was ominous. “Do not dare to touch me again with your filthy hands. I did not give you any permission to do that, and don’t ever go near me, she murmured, “you—wicked victor.” With tho
Renata's Dream Chapter XX
Chapter XX The Lore Behind the Painting Renata was wearing a white long sleeved polo and black suspenders when she was waiting for Rory to come. She was silently standing straight in front of the gate. After a few more minutes, Rory finally came. Unexpectedly, Rory came with Naya and someone unfamiliar. Renata was dumbfounded because of that. She thought Rory would come alone. She was dumbfounded, unable to say anything and was just standing there. She immediately changed her facial expression from bewilderment to sadness and grief. She was in shock. She never thought Rory would bring someone unfamiliar along. Seeing the situation, Rory told Renata, "Renata, I'm sorry for not informing you but Naya and Heidi will be joining us. You will surely enjoy their company." "Haa~" Revi gave them a slack-jawed
