“We will thank both you and your master for your kindness.” Jack received the token and handed it to Mira.

Samuel took out another token and gave it to Jack as he noted that Jack handed it to Mira.

“We….” Jack was about to refuse when Samuel interrupted.

“Keep one on your person.” He handed the token to Jack and reminded “It is better to be cautious.”

“Thank you.” Both Mira and Jack thanked Samuel.

Samuel stood up as his purpose of arrival had been accomplished “Then I will take my leave.”

  • Second chance at happiness    The price… she was willing to pay it.

    Outside the room, Zelda felt her chest tighten. She knew the process had begun.Cornelius and Baldwin paced through the hall like headless chooks, forgetting their station and years of upbringing.Linus and Judith leaned against the wall, faces pale and lips trembling. Edgar and Maryanne stood beside them in silent support. Inwardly, they too begged the heavens for mercy.The Zumerong cousins stood shoulder to shoulder like true blood brothers, their eyes fixed on the closed door. Only Humphrey joined Cornelius in pacing, the endless wait clearly wearing on him.Suddenly, Zelda staggered.Blood spilled from her lips the instant the frozen glass inside the room melted completely.Esmeralda rushed to her side. “Mistress…”Jerome was already there, steadying her before she could fall.The others turned toward her at once, worry etched across every face.“I am fine,” Zelda said weakly, lifting a hand.She knew the cost.Of all elements to bend, time was the most unforgiving, the one that

  • Second chance at happiness   To remain standing....

    Eldora circled the two boxes quietly, observing the figures within. They looked as though they were merely asleep, not people frozen in time.She paused, first before Alex, her hand rested against the frozen glass for a brief moment before slowly passing through the surface without leaving behind even the faintest crack. She quietly checked his vitals before withdrawing.She repeated the process with Katherine.Jack and Mira stood motionless, scarcely daring to breathe for fear of disturbing her concentration.She stepped back and waved her hand.The basin that had previously rested in the corner now sat perfectly between the two boxes.She turned to Mira, “you need to fill this with the water from the hot spring.”Mira nodded and was about to enter space when Jack hugged and kissed her, “Let me help.”Mira smiled and nodded.Jack filled the buckets and handed them to Mira, while she poured them into the basin, standing in space. Once the basin was filled to the brim, just as they were

  • Second chance at happiness   Wait till I get my hands on those bastards.

    “What’s in that?” Martin, who had been silent all this while, ran over to the cart behind the carriage the moment he saw Jack, like a monkey suddenly jolted awake, the moment he saw Jack.Anne-marie was no different, clinging to Mira who herself was clinging to Ursula; the two siblings looked like they had found new life.“That’s a basin for father and mother’s treatment.” Jack answered seriously.“Wow… then you really got the healer to come?” Martin’s excitement knew no bounds. “Uncle and aunt can be saved… thank the heavens.”“Where should I take this?”“When is the healer coming?” Jerome stepped forward.“Venerable one…” Mira called out. This was the norm in the land for esteemed healers, and they had agreed to this address earlier.The footman ran over, signalled by Harrison but even before he could get close to the carriage, Eldora lifted the curtain by herself and stepped out.The moment her feet touched the ground, the world seemed to exhale.The wind died.Trees that had been s

  • Second chance at happiness   Wouldn’t you two skin me alive otherwise?

    Southamberston barely had time to catch its breath.Visitors arrived one after another, leaving Harrison and the others scarcely a moment to rest.Bari swept in as though the wind itself carried him, arriving before the excitement of Credi’s arrival had even faded.“You’re back.” Matthew chuckled as he greeted him. Harry stepped forward as well, welcoming him warmly.“How could I dare not come when your precious daughter made a request?” Bari laughed. “Wouldn’t you two skin me alive otherwise?”“That girl…” Matthew shook his head helplessly. “What did she ask you for?”Bari glanced around cautiously before leaning closer to the two men.“Silver Siphon,” he whispered.Silence fell instantly.“Did you get it?”“Not as many as your little girl asked for…” Bari’s face fell. “I barely managed to get hold of one.”“That is one more than any of us could manage.” Harry shrugged with a helpless expression.“How many did that girl ask you for?” Matthew knitted his brows.“As many as I could gath

  • Second chance at happiness   You know my father?

    The old man’s expression didn’t change… but the air between them did. He studied Jack for a long moment, his intent unreadable.“Then…” he murmured, voice low, “you’ve just taken something the Lion once bled for… bled to keep from his own soil.”Jack’s expression tightened, for the briefest fraction of a second. But the old man’s sharp eyes caught it.“You know my father?”“How could I not?” The old man’s gaze turned distant, a trace of melancholy surfacing as he muttered, more to himself than to them, “One does not walk this world and fail to feel the sun.”Then his eyes sharpened again, settling on the young couple.“Tell me… do you understand what you carry away?”A pause settled between them.“It is no trivial thing… to be set aside when it no longer pleases its keeper.”Mira stepped forward slightly. “We don’t… but we’re retrieving it for someone who does.”“I hope so…” The old man waved a hand, as if dismissing them.A faint exhale. “This is all I can do, old friend.I ha

  • Second chance at happiness   How dare you draw a sword at my husband?

    “You… you are the Lion of Zumerong?” He shook his head, disbelief clouding his eyes. “No … you can’t be… not so young…”“Huh?” Mira took a step back, confusion flashing across her face, but she didn’t move from where she stood, still shielding Jack.Jack’s lips curved faintly.Neither of them answered.The man moved.There was no warning… no shift in breath, no tightening of muscle. One moment he stood still, the next a blade slid free from his staff and cut through the air----and stopped.A sharp metallic crack rang out.Jack stood where he had always been.His blade had already intercepted the strike.The tip of the sword hovered inches from Mira----but it would go no further.Jack’s gaze lifted slowly.The warmth from before was gone.“You are not worthy of that face…” the man hissed, his weapon shifting between staff and blade moving as one as he struck again.“Who are you?”Jack didn’t answer.Steel met steel.Once. Twice.On the third exchange------ the staff twisted out of th

  • Second chance at happiness   Defeat that comes from within stings the worst

    “Princess, are you sure we should halt for negotiation?” He raised his head, gathering courage as he spoke “We have the advantage of numbers while they are still caught unprepared and we have already worn them down. Even though we are up against the Zumerongs, Zeke said that they are only half of wh

  • Second chance at happiness   Battle at the Eastern border of Hal

    This was probably the worst decision that Gu Hei could have made; his intention was to distract the Zumerong, but it left him vulnerable. Although the Zumerongs had withdrawn from active politics and even left the country, they had never slacked in their training, nor had they deteriorated in their

  • Second chance at happiness   The Lion has fallen, although the cubs have come out to play....

    The eagle’s cry had not only alerted Humphrey and his men but also Samuel as this was the secret signal that Humphrey had passed on to him when they met a few hours earlier. He quickly gathered both his and the normal soldiers stationed at the border to take their battle-ready positions.He position

  • Second chance at happiness   Do I look like I am scared of trouble?

    At the eastern border of the kingdom of Hal, although the night seemed quiet and peaceful on the surface, the air seemed to carry the ominous undercurrents that were slowly unfolding, stifling the hearts of those who were waiting…. It didn’t matter which side they stood, what was certain was that th
