The paper float again but this time it flew into the hands of Hunter.
"Hunter!?" I didn't notice his presence earlier so I got surprised to saw him standing few meters away from me.
"Time is getting near," He spoke strangely.
His brown eyes are glowing, and his pupils are narrowed vertically. It's the first time that I see Hunter like this. I didn't know that he can transform this way. The moonlight on his face is making him look mysterious.
"What time, Hunter?" I asked inquisitively.
"Go back to Ehtrehto Edis. The Ehtrehtians need you," He pleaded.
"Hunter, you knew I've gone through a lot there. My family was killed by the Aquans and they chased me! What am I? A fool that would go back to be slaughtered!?" I yelled furiously.
"You still don't understand things, Lady Amara," His voice was weak and weary.
He called me by that name again, twice just now.
"What is there that I need to
Thank you for still reading up to this chapter! 😊
Thankfully, my eyelids got heavy. As soon as my eyes were ready to close and fall back to sleep, the alarm clock rang again. It's only four in the morning. I forgot to reset it yesterday. I usually work during this time because it's the time when my mind works best.Without rising from my side sleeping position, I reached for the alarm clock on the bedside table and turned it off. I'm hoping to continue my sleep but before I could close my eyes, I caught a shadow on the wall. Someone is behind me! I teleported beside the owner of the shadow and clutched his neck, my claws are pushing deep into his skin."Isn't it too early for a visit?" I said in a hoarse morning voice."Sorry to disturb you," the man apologized in a low baritone voice."What do you want Prince of Terra Hella?" I said, not letting go of his neck."I-Um," he stammered. "Can you let go of my neck? Your claws hurt," he chuckled jokingly, but he was tensed.I removed my hands fr
The ninjas leaped forward and pointed their swords towards the three of us. Three ninjas were attacking each one of us. It wasn't easy to fight with them especially that our only weapons were our claws. I avoided every strike they're throwing at me. I was keenly observing their movements. I plastered a dangerous smile when I already mastered the rhythm of their moves. One ninja is attacking me from behind so I quickly fled towards his back and clawed him deeply. Stains of blood remained on my claws when I lifted my hand. Another ninja was coming with a full-force overhead attack. Our eyes met and I saw panic in him. I seized the opportunity and used my telekinesis to control his hand movement until he was pointing his sword diagonally downward on his stomach. The sword was buried there and blood gushed out from his body. He fell to the ground and blood came out of his mouth. His body convulsed before he finally died. One more is left and we stood face-to-face with one anothe
Since that daybreak that we fought with the ninjas, my nights have been filled with the woman who introduced herself as Farah. This dream made me anxious deep inside. I always see the horrible killings, even when I'm already woken. I know that there is a message she wants to tell me. So, to decipher the message and to free me from turmoil, I finally agreed to go back to Ehtrehto Edis.Hunter was thrilled and wishes to go with me, but couldn't do so. He was cursed so he couldn't set foot back in our world. Whoever did it to him, I don't know and he doesn't care telling me. The twin royal blood of Terra Hella who's prince's name is still anonymous, was happy with my decision. Same with Peter and his nephews Connor and Conrad.I still can't discern what my duty is, what my place is back in Ehtrehto Edis. It didn't occur to me before that I am someone important in my world, as these people say. No wonder the Aquans want me dead. I know things will be tough as s
"She has fallen asleep," the prince spoke while watching Akira lying deeply asleep on the sand. "That's expected. She's been away for a decade and her body is adjusting to the atmosphere here." Peter explained, his eyes also on the woman. "She must have been very tired," Prince said while staring at her with inexplicable emotion. His heart wants to caress the woman but his hand is being cautious. "We have to find somewhere to stay," Peter said and stood up. He shook the sands off from his pants. "We are heading back to Terra Hella. You can come with us if you wish to," the prince invited them. He also got up from sitting. "That so hospitable of you, but we must head to Ignis Hella," Peter politely rejected the offer. "If that is the case, then we will go ahead." The prince did not insist on his invitation. He understood Peter's resistance. He doesn't wan
I finished my food shortly and got out of the house as soon as I'm done fixing myself. A cool breeze greeted me outside. I didn't expect to see beautiful scenery in front of me. "Wow!" I was overwhelmed by the sight of the clear sea and wide seashore on the foot of the marvelous mountain where I am now standing. I looked around hoping to see Connor and Conrad but I couldn't find them. I didn't take my meal for long, but they're already gone. I turned my gaze back at the house where I came out. It's small with cogon grass thatching. I roamed my eyes and saw houses around. Conrad and Connor's small house is the center and on top of this village. I am awed by the beauty of the mountains and green surroundings. However, the dreadful silence of the place is odd. It's like a sleeping village and it's intriguing. "Are there any people here? Why is it so silent?" Out of curiosity, I tele
"Do you want to get inside now?" Conrad asked me while walking towards us.I looked at the door with hesitation. I inhaled and nodded."Yes, I'm going in." I started to step forward and opened the door, my hand is shaking. The two were following me.My eyes met the interior of the old house with the paint that has already faded. The overwhelming scent of oldness soothes my nostrils. The place looks dull and dreadful. I swallowed my saliva and blinked in succession when my eyes started to well up tears. I can hear the laughter we shared here in the past. I smiled bitterly upon remembering the happy memories we had in every corner of this house. I moved around and touched everything my hands could reach."It's good that these cabinets were not stolen." I laughed bitterly."The Ignis Hella Knights does regular patrolling within this vicinity." Conrad promptly said.I simply nodded without saying anything. "I'll go upstai
I exchanged glances at the two men who were both giggling.I suspiciously watched them with a question in my mind. "What's with them?""Whoa!"A man's loud voice echoed when he reined his horse. We looked in its direction and saw a bearded man. He looked like the commander of the troop.Connor and Conrad held their swords skillfully in their hands and positioned themselves, securing me at their back."Aqua Edis knights, welcome to the land of Ignis Hella! It's great to know that you've crossed borders safely," Connor greeted the man sarcastically. The Aqua Edis knight scorned him. "So, the loyalists to the Ignis Hella king are here. It's nice to see you around." He began descending from his horse, so as his men. They were eight in total."What else do you expect? You are in the land of Ignis Hella. May I remind you
Connor scratched his head and followed his brother who walked away."Come here, my lady. I'm going to mount you on the horse," he gentlemanly requested Akira who stubbornly refuses."No, I can do it on my own." She placed her feet on the stirrup and begun climbing to the saddle."Alright, I forgot that my lady is an independent woman," Connor chuckled and mounted on his horse, placing Akira in front of him. His heart pounded erratically when he again smelled her fragrance. He sniffed her hair and the tip of their noses almost collided when she turned her head sideways."What are you doing?" She narrowed her eyes at him.Connor smiled shamelessly and said, "Nothing. I'm sorry, my lady if you're feeling awkward sitting in front of a handsome man like me. Don't worry I understand your hesitation." Akira elbowed him on his abdomen. "You're shameless. Stop sniffing my hair or I'll wreck your nose," she warned
