He knew he was scaring them all - the Night Children and those stranded humans. It was several nights ago since the howling destroyed the peace of the forest. He could control himself but after that specific betrayal, his urges tempted him so madly. He had to roam or else he had to hunt. The latter was highly not on season yet.
He gathered all the Night Children. It would be the Hunt on the coming three days but he made a special call to those who were not yet damned.
"Kristina's damned!"
To those who could understand it, the news scattered all throughout the forest. Albert never doubted it reached the Vampire Queen. That's not a wonder even - vampires were magical reporters. They would know it even without or even before the announcement.
The t
"So, tell me, why you talked like you don't know me?" Joy asked. "And, what do you mean about me as a channel?""It's just a new concept to me. I read it on some books on Time Traveling. I never tested it before," Elena admitted. "Glad it works.""So, it was a suicide plan?" Joy asked. "If it did not work, you just sent me to some stranger with your face who does not have any hint of compassion?""Dying in Challenge is suicidal," Elena defended. "At least, I have a plan."They were surrounded by a great nothingness except by the glory of the scattered fragments of all the exploded and destroyed planets and dimensions in space. Back on Earth, these remains shone as an illusion. It happened that a chemical reaction in the atmosphere made these rocks and stones shone in glory where in fact space had unimaginable temperature - extreme cold on the other side of the planet and extreme hot when the sun hit the skin."Right. But how come you became
The hunt excited all of the Night Children - especially this one. Though Albert could not tell why he still didn't care. What mattered was that he was angry and he could throw things and wreak havoc on the forest.Several tourists might have noticed the gloom in there that some took their senses in good care and went home. Ray told him that he was too busy preparing the Night Children for their feast and that he was always forgetting the midnight of the Hunt - there was a Duel challenged to him by Miranda."I am wondering how do you prepare?" Ray asked Albert. There was no tavern already. The vampires took possession of it like they were entitled to the place when Kristina betrayed him - when she betrayed them."I will fight her to the death," Albert replied. "Vampires would no way lead the Night Children.""You are an immortal.""You know things about Constants?""A two or three.""A Constant can only be
The Reign was hers. Albert disappointed his people after proclaiming his intent on dueling Miranda - and it was Kristina who had changed her mind.A woman.Starting there, events were about change. This was the point when no one could tell what's next to happen. This was the point which Miranda prepared so much.The killings were disgusting and she did not wish on repeating all the gruesome bloodshed all over again so she might retain her memory - hers and all those who damned their souls for trusting her.The Hunt would soon start and Albert never showed up. Kristina was standing beside her and though she told nothing about talking with Albert, it was unnecessary. Miranda smiled. Kristina lied to Albert. Lied. Kristina, the Night Cat showed her devotion to the plan and it was all that mattered. Things, from there, would start to be interesting and she was excited to see the Phoenix - who the hell she was. It did n
The Hunt was in full bloom and he could hear the raging that ran the forest. From now, he's free and Miranda replaced him as the Constant. Miranda should make sure to do the obligations.One more thing, he's Damned - like Kristina. Where was she?Ray was in the form of little Mark and he looked at the little young man who conveyed unspoken languages. Mark was waiting and he must be sure what would happen next. There was a lifetime when all these things happened like clockwork. Sirens were the most secretive beings. They were right to be so. It's a strange thing to protect knowledge so diverse and huge. It could shake worlds, beliefs and whatsoever.Betty finished packing the herbs to her bag. A petal of the Sirens tears was covered in a very thin cloth and she secured it inside her patch, separate from the others which she broiled. Philip entered the made-up tent and announced his preparation."I have
The last cheerful thing he remembered was the loudness of the Arena back in the Siren's Palace. Now, it was a whole different place.A Samsonara knew by heart what a place was made of. If it's on magic or through people's hardwork, they would know. These walls were both. How was that possible?Rony jumped after Mark who cued him to follow. Elena lined right behind him. The other challengers had been portalled to some other places. However, he could feel that these walls only bordered the field. There were places here that led to other places. Who made it?Dragons were not evil on Highlands except when threatened. They were huge when matured and could giant twenty to thirty feet. With their scaly bodies and reptilian anatomy, no one would dare to challenge one.They would have listened when Mark said that dragons like Sirens were territorial. The Walls stood a thousand feet or more that the clouds were impossibl
After that searing pain, there was a calmness that Elena felt for the first time. The others were still astonished and clueless on the past events. Where they were was an absolute mystery in itself. There was no human being on sight but a population had inhabited this place for some time before. Skeletons, human skeletons, found lying next to the room they were locked in.A torch was burning at the very center of the hall and next to it was a chair deserving of a Royalty. Somehow, she felt that it was hers and it was calling her. Memories? Were those some part of her? In the past life? Magicians did not believe in reincarnation but Travelers know that spirits do travel. It might be here in a minute and then gone many years ago. What differed were the bodies these spirits entered into. That was why no one could remember. The human brain only remembered those it remembered. What the spirit knew were the hunches. It was like pinching her on the gut
Elena boxed the Circle with her fists. She was crawling on all fours. Her pain was unimaginable."Ahhhhhh!!!!" she screamed. "Stop it!""You need the pain to become whole," Red said.Elena named her already. Red. If she's not harder on telling her name, she would have a much better choice to call her. The child on a red hood was visiting again. She was more cheerful momentarily as if she was too glad of Elena's pain."I cannot live it!" Elena hissed under her breath. "It's too painful.""Truth is painful, darling," Red said. "You need to be stronger when it comes. Or, you'll forever cage in your circle.""This is not in the books!" Elena begged. "If I had known, I wouldn't have tried."Red chuckled. She was almost laughing. "No one had ever lived to write the truth."The pain started from her head, down to her spine. Then, when it reaches her tailbone, flashes of memories were rushing int
He was old and he's tired. He did not know where to go except search that Paradise. Los Barrios would not be home to him again - maybe, until this time, or maybe this time would be his last.He had followed Albert with the throng of these lost people from the crash. The Siren was leading them and Albert knew that the child he was carrying wasn't a child but an immortal who had role in this coming war.Miranda had been at last the Constant of the Night Children and Albert had no need to worry about that. What Albert lost did not equal to the glory that was waiting him. Home.Rudolf did not need to shapeshift. He was an Arium and what he only needed was his magic to hide his face. He didn't need to hide his face from the people too. He knew they didn't need him to be real. They were as hopeless as he was. He hid only his face from Albert. Albert was an immortal who did not have any idea about the timelines which didn't become
