Se connecterHer eyes lit up with excitement, seeing half of his face. She squealed with Mercella still gripping her waist.And then the whole of the face in full."What is it?" Mercella asked, watching the excitement die from her face."Nothing. Pull me back up." Laura stood five centimeters away from the pavement."Sigh…" Without uttering more words, she walked into the ballroom.Mercella ran after her. "What is it, Laura?"Laura just sat down in front of the piano. "Just get me gingerbread biscuits and warm milk."Mercella nodded before finding her way to the kitchen.Laura's hands ran across the keyboard, her fingers ticking on each key… "Ding!" they made.Slightly giggling on how her mum forced her to learn the piano, but now she did it whenever she was sad. But for some reason she couldn't explain why she felt the way she did.She played the piano as it echoed through the palace, staring into the distance through the open windows. She played the keys her heart sent.In no time, Mercella was
Mondeigo's eyelids popped open, like he had just woken up from a nightmare. Unable to speak or move, he scanned the faces around him, his eyes moving slowly from one person to another."Water…" Those were the first words he spoke.Agatha burst into tears before scurrying across the room to fetch some water.Welsfar wiped his palms over his face. Leaning beside Mondeigo, he called Vagos to help him up."Gentle," he muttered as they both helped him up, placing him on a chair.In no time, Agatha was back with a cup of water.He gulped down the water, draining every last drop from the cup.In no time he was wheezing and gasping for air. Agatha's hands shook beneath the cup."No need to panic," Morris called out, chewing a stick by the corner. "Just give him more water."The room fell silent for a moment.Vagos turned to Welsfar, hesitatingly. "Don't worry, Uncle. I can handle a little rabbit hunt.""Stay with your brother," Welsfar said, leaving the room.The atmosphere felt rigid for a w
Vagos stood tall in the doorway, the Silverroot secured to his back with tree vines. Sweat glistened across his bare chest, tracing the cuts scattered over his skin.Welsfar stiffened as his gaze fell upon Vagos. The energy he emitted was like none he had seen before. It wasn't dark, it was just powerful.Vagos walked into the house slowly. His steps are graceful with ease.Staring at his parents, his gaze fell on his brother as something soft glowed in his eyes."Mother, Father." His deep voice slowly called out. His voice sounded like he hadn't spoken in a long time, like waters coming off dried grounds, the words crawled up his throat.Seeing they hadn't moved an inch made his heart leap. Turning to his brother again, he felt an ache growing in his chest."Did… did…" Stuttering mid-sentence because he couldn't find the words to express his thoughts.Drawing a sharp breath… "Did I make it on time?" The words finally escaped his mouth."Ohh…ohh…Ohh…" Agatha broke down in tears, risin
Waking up, she found herself panting, holding the edge of her jawline where the sword flew past.Her fingers curled against the mattress as she recalled his face. She had never seen eyes like his before. Those crimson eyes had burned themselves into her memory.She was in a daze. A light smile crossed her lips, her blue googly eyes sparkled as her cheeks slightly turned red.Still in a daze, she rose from her bed, standing at the edge."Ahh…" Laura jolted in fear.Mercella, her trusted handmaiden, who had been standing at the door, burst into a mischievous laughter."I see the princess has been daydreaming…" She paused, pouting her lips. "Again…" she chuckled lightly.Laura turned away, hiding her blush. "Stop…"Mercella walked up to her slowly. "Alright, my princess. Your bath is ready." She pointed towards the bathtub."Thank you." Laura's night robe slipped from her shoulders, and her waist-length silver-white hair fell freely down her back.She dipped one foot slowly into the tub
Curiosity and relief mingled within him."Where did it go?" His jawline tensed as his gaze navigated the area again.Closing his eyes to perceive the atmosphere. He could no longer detect the creature's dark scent.His eyes shot wide open. There he was, in the presence of the First Tree. He looked up to the sky one more time and he could tell it was the early hours of the morning and it would be bright in no time.The Silverroot was unlike anything he had ever seen. Its flowers bloomed beautifully as they radiated a certain light energy.He walked slowly towards it as thoughts of his brother filled his head. A sly smile crossed his lips. Completely ignoring the cuts on his body.Slowly reaching his hands to touch the tree, the roots swirled, wrapping him up in a blink of an eye. Vagos tried to fight back, but his eyelids shot tight as his senses gave in.When he opened his eyes, he found himself standing in an unfamiliar world. The weight of his strange attire made him glance down bef
A gruesome energy radiated from behind him. I'mEven with that energy shift, his heartbeat remained steady.For over a minute, Vagos remained motionless. The monster hadn't attacked yet, almost like it was waiting for him to draw the first move.Vagos's lips curved into a dangerous smile as he slowly whispered, “You might as well strike now, before I start moving. Because once I do, I won't be merciful.”The Vyre let out an eerie laugh, mimicking his words before releasing a low growl.Vagos looked at what remained of the moon from the canopies overshadowing them. He knew he had very little time left. Drawing in a heavy breath, he inhaled sharply. "What are you?" His voice was stern and cold.Heavy drools hit the ground beside him. The sounds that came out from this creature got more violent. "Crrrrreeeh…"Vagos tightened his fist around the tree branch, breaking the tip of it into what looked like a sharp edge. Taking a step forward, the earth cleared his path. His feet remained stead
