"So nothing? Anyone?" Bryon's voice wobbled with an obscure emotion from two chairs in front.
"Bryon, are you okay? Why did your voice sounded like that?" Nila asked him teasingly.
"Like what?" He asked with a serious look.
"Like you were just about to cry." Mona snickered, but quickly coughed when she saw Nila following in her direction. It was cute to see them both shared a smile together. I wondered whatever the hell happened between them.
"Of course not!" He squeaked in disapproval, maybe intending to have sounded more manly. I'd never really made fun of Bryon's awkward behavior_matter of fact, I'd always admired him somehow. He was cute, funny and had this kind of weird accent when he spoke. He liked to also talk a lot, in fact, making he and Nila a cute couple together. But he sometimes kept to himself, and thus, making us a bit distant. He somehow was afraid of me, and I couldn't blame him.

How hard could that be, huh? Well it turned out to be bloody damn hard!Until I met him. You see, living with those bastards of a keeper was something I'd never imagined myself doing. I was so close into thrusting my dagger into one's throat when the bad-mannered saphead rudely mention that no beast was allowed into the keeper's fortress. Even after Kedar's strange men had pleaded on my behalf, telling him that Lavi was my assigned animal protector. And by strange men, I meant dwarves. Short, ugly, mutilated face like a bag of well chewed caramel. Yes. Those dwarves. But the moment we arrived at the gates of their fortresses, they sprayed something colbalt blue like on their skins and instantly, turned into full grown men.After a long boring conversation, pleading and laughing minutes later, when I'd lost track of time I spent in the carriage, they finally welcomed us in and let us passed through the fortified gates.

"And then I said, for what reason would he do something as foolish as that."The crowd roared in laughter as Ulric gave a senseless speech. He talked about how he had his son, the death of his wife, and some boring topics similar. He was only suppose to mention the main purpose of throwing the feast, but instead, he decided to beat around the bush. We secretly went through the plan, if you called Nila screaming Kerik out loud rather than properly referring me as Lady Bellatrix secretly. Or Richard's interrogation with me, after Bellamy had invited me to join them in front. Since the ballroom was quite large, with ceilings higher than other rooms, it wasn't really easy to sneak up on people's conversations. Besides, Kedar made it quick and simple. She dug into Ulric's past and conceived an intense dark secret. I didn't know how she did her job, all I knew was that, that secret was our weapon.After the sneaky discussion, we went ahead wit

"Here, follow me." The woman who was supposed to be my mother, lead us to a small room close to the kitchen. "We'll be safe in the pantry, my child." She smiled again, like she'd been doing since she appeared to us."Thank you ma'am." Bellamy quickly appreciated her rendered help, and looked at me for a reply too. "We thank you so much." He added after getting nothing but a blank expression on my face. "She's just been through a lot.""No worries. I'll leave you two to send off anything that might leave a trail on your hide out." Her lips curled into another smile, but was instantly replaced with a worried look. "I love you, so much." She whispered, then focused on Bellamy. "Please take care of her, and stay safe." Having said that, she took one last look at me, then ran out the door, leaving me to wonder what the hell I'd just encountered.«»«»«»«»«»"Bellatrix?"My eyes slowly worked it's way

"Will you to your power, cause law and justice in mercy to be executed in all your judgements?" The archbishop continued with the coronation's oaths.Today made it the fifth day since we'd overcame Richard and his armies of darkness. My mind raced as I thought of the way forward, and without Kedar on my side, I was somewhat miserable. We'd all promised to do this together. Nila was nowhere to be found, so was Mona. I went to Kedar's valley millions of times in a day, hoping to find any trace of her. But she wasn't there any longer. She was stronger than she looked. I prayed with all my heart that nothing bad had happened to them. I had always had this plan in my head, but might have not been possible if it wasn't for my friends. But the thought of Richard, the way he slashed at me with betrayal. I feared love or friendship. I'd lost everyone I ever loved, like my whole body was just a big magnetic weapon, drawn to only pain and sorrow alone. The feeling of emp

"I know I'm not supposed to care. I'm not supposed to ask, but what the hell are you talking about?" The words came out like a churning fire burning vigorously inside my guts. "Go where?" I knew I didn't cared anymore, I'd detested my mother since the dawn of ages. I didn't care what ever happened to her. For all that mattered, she was dead to me. But after loosing those that I cared about, after loosing them all, in nickel of time, my heard wasn't built for any other loss. Not even my abandoned mother."You don't have to understand me. I signed up for this.""What? You planned the whole abandoning children thingy on purpose?" Her expression was hard to read. Behind those deep brown eyes, those pale small lips and the perfectly looking smooth face, conveyed a million of thoughts. Sometimes she was happy, other times she was just-paused and sad. At the moment, they were between the sad and paused look."I signed up for this. I am a f

I explained everything to my mother the previous night, about finding Tara, releasing her soul and that of the remaining people. How to defeat the master, how I was supposed to seek Lilith for her blessings. Then she promised we would talk better the next day. After lots and lots of pleading, she finally agreed to stay for a while before setting out for her journey to hell knows where. The night seemed extra long that I found myself turning and tossing all night. My mind raced on a million things as I recalled every steps and decisions I'd taken over these whiles. I wondered if they were right. After what seemed like thousands of hours, I finally found myself lost in sleep. When my eyes opened again, it was already dawn. The sun bloomed on the horizon, golden petals stretching ever outwards into the rich blue. It was the brilliant flower of the sky that warmed other people. The invitation to a new day, the sunrise so ordinary extraordinary. Bu

"I now fully listen to your acquisitions. Proceed." Some of the people of Talot came quietly to have a discussion with their Queen, since we were interrupted the other day. Bellamy already left, and a part of me left with him. The good side, the patient one, the old side of me. Mother wasn't back yet, and I only hoped she came back with good news. The whole fortress just became empty; just me, with a whole load of people who either hate me, or are scared of me. Or both."Yes your majesty." The same person I'd been having problem with since the day one spoke."What is your name?" I asked him before he could continue."My name is Easton. Easton Campbell.""Very well then. You may proceed.""We gather before her royal Highness today, to receive her blessing." He smirked dubiously, like there was more up on his sleeves."For what?""To bargain, with the lower towns.

The necklace laid there as a common rock, decorated with an array of polished diamonds. Sometimes I wondered why it was called the dragon stone. Then I observed its appearance changed. All these while, it had just been an ordinary stone, shining majestically as a diamond. But now, now it was a greenish brown rock. The dragon stone; as bold and green as the skin, and red as the blood.The dragon stone; royal betrothed,mysterious and all-important as an enormous emerald. I walked closer, taking one small step towards the bed. Just about five more steps and I would reach for the stone.
