A few minutes passed. Dehlia entered the house, turning to the left opposite the sole bedroom. The kitchen’s lights were already switched on prior to her leaving so she did not have to waste some time fumbling against the wall to press the correct switch.
Glancing at the wall clock that could be seen at the small livin
When Ley woke up, he was feeling fatigued.There were various unhealed injuries in his body that made him miss the healer of his Household, Hana. Although it only took him to recover from the surface damage that he received, which was thanks to his natural gift as an Anito, the internal wounds were not so easy to recover from and were also quite painful
...Ley wanted to leave immediately. However, since he had already interacted with the woman, he thought that maybe the two of them had some fate between them.He felt that she was kind of shady, because she lived alone and seemed to have stayed safe until now despite her beauty. It was perplexing considering that ther
...A/N: Storms always rage across my country this time of the year and my house happened to be one of the unfortunate ones flooded. I can't write a full update today, I ask for your forgiveness and understanding. Below is a preview....A woman's shadow which was made apparent by her dress' shadow appeared inside a hall. The shadow appeared ominous as it stopped moving, seemingly to give way for the darkness of the night and the strange redness of the moon. Because of the angle, although she was only at the entrance, her figure seemed to have reached even the deepest part of the place."Hmm... Quite the bleak atmosphere here..."A feminine voice as calm as the sea in a peaceful days faintly echoed.The head of the shadow moved alongside the waterfall like shadow of her hair.A couple of moments passed before a sliver of moonlight passed through the red-colored glass to reveal her facial features. Black,
...A woman's shadow which was made apparent by her dress' shadow appeared inside a hall. The shadow appeared ominous as it stopped moving, seemingly to give way for the darkness of the night and the strange redness of the moon. Because of the angle, although she was only at the entrance, her figure seemed to have reached even the deepest part of the place. The dark shadow cast by the moonlight on the large dimly lit room could not appear more encompassing and frightening.Yet its owner seemed to be not aware."Hmm... Quite the bleak atmosphere here..."A feminine voice as calm as the sea in a peaceful days faintly echoed.The words said referred to the site itself.The head of the shadow moved alongside the waterfall-like shadow of her hair.A couple of moments passed. Up above the clouds hiding the moon away slowly drifted past it. A sliver of moonlight passed through the red-colored glass to reveal the breat
..."You, a mere thousand years old night creature of the mortal world wants to summon a filthy devil while I'm still on Earth?"Playing over and over again in the baffled guests' minds was the utter disdain on her unordinarily beautiful face.As said a woman's temper and mind were like the weather, ever-changing and unpredictable. Days ago, she resolved herself to just check out the place and not appear in the actual gathering. But here she was, looking down disdainfully at the old Anito that hosted the event on the day of the gathering.The thing that the Anito wanted to perform today with the various guests, especially with those that were clueless and weak brought out the serious version of her."Who are you?"The Anito of the Blood lived up to his reputation as a powerful Anito. He managed to recover fast and stood up, albeit extreme embarrassment and fury danced in his eyes. Of course, this w

..."I don't recommend you to leave." Dehlia said with an inexplicable look on her face. Ley could see that she was sincere and serious. Something bad would happen if he tried to leave the island. That was what her words just now implied.Ley pressed his lips into a thin line. In his mind, he was a bit conflicted... and annoyed. After all, he knew the woman had no malicious intention, yet. The reason she was preventing him from walking out of this house was probably because she believed that she was his shelter and shield against the unknown threat that normally would spell trouble or, even, demise to outsiders. Yet he was annoyed since if he was not brought here in the first place, but to a hospital, none of these would happen."Miss Dehlia, actually, I would have to tell you one thing." With a solemn look put on, he turned around to meet her in the eyes.This time, he was clear about the unusual care that showed in her eyes. Ley who wa
...'They should have reached the island on time, right?' He secretly wished, counting on the Goddess' blessings and protection.Although Ley had known Hana and Fernando for only so long, he had grown quite used to their presence already. A thread of karma already bound the three of them as members of House Hevel. He certainly wanted them to stay alive.Ley sped up his running pace, not paying attention to anything that would hinder him, including his wounds and internal injuries. Several minutes later, he finally arrived in the airport where he got separated from his group. He noticed that he still had half of his Gift's uses remaining despite traveling more than a hundred fifty miles. But like what was said earlier, mulling over this was not the priority.With no card or phone with him, he was forced to borrow a phone from a lady that just came out of the baggage area. Thankfully, the other was kind and pitied him for his wounded state
