The monster emerged and he was so gigantic and huge that Sylvia felt she had lost the war even before it began. “Oh, my goodness. How on earth am I supposed to get an orb from a monster as huge as this? That’s likened to a death sentence.” She thought to herself as she began to take steps backward. If it was possible for her to skip on this task, it would have been much better, but if she didn’t try, and then she failed, it wouldn’t count as a task and would have to try another one which could be harder than this. “Pl…please don’t hurt me.” Sylvia pleaded as she knew there was no way she could run from this monster.The monster chuckled loudly and the wind blew the tree branches forcibly as a result of his loud chuckle. “You do not want me to hurt you, then why are you here? You want me to allow you to hurt me then?” The monster voiced out loudly. “But…but if I don’t, there is no way I can carry out my task successfully.” Sylvia responded with her eyes looking like that of a pupp
SCARLET’S POVIt’s been days since the whole demon encounter happened, and I must say, it wasn’t easy. But thanks to the moon goddess who kept showing her mercy, all that is now in the past, and hopefully nothing evil will come up again.I got down from the bed, and sauntered towards the window, and opened up the curtains. It felt so nice to see the sunlight without any problems eating at your soul. The sun was bright and it seemed to be spreading its brightness into my soul and heart.Then I turned away from the window, and sat on the bed again. Now that there were no pending problems, the best thing was to get something to do as I can’t just stay idle, and being bored all day.I began to think of various things I could do until one thought dropped in my head. I had a passion for baking and had always desired to open a bakery; the best bakery ever.“I’m going to inform Elias about this.” I said to myself, happily.The joy of finally knowing what to do, and especially as it’s your pas
When night fell, Sylvia laid on her bed, and as she drifted off to sleep, she found herself in a big mansion. "Welcome, Sylvia.""Where am I? And what am I doing right here?" She questioned, looking baffled and scared. "You are in the land of nowhere. Come on, you don't expect to be free just like that. If you want to gain complete freedom, then you'll have to complete a few tasks or you'll never get out of this dream or nightmare; whatever you call it." A woman spoke as she walked down the stairs with two other women.Sylvia knew they were serious about it and she would only waste her time, asking more questions."Alright, what do I have to do?""Good. First, you have to get an orb for me, and then when you're back, we'll discuss about what my other sisters would like from you."I summoned the courage and took a deep breath. "Alright, where do I get it?" Sylvia asked, ready to go with what they had said.Before she knew it, they snapped her out of that world and she met herself cl
Sylvia's blood went cold and in the blink of an eye, she found herself in the beach water. She saw the trickster laughing and walking towards the water, but something was different about him.He was changing form. Sylvia tried to swim as fast as she could, out of the water. The waves kept collapsing on her, making her lose her balance in the water. As soon as she swam back to the surface, she gasped and breathed in hard, then coughed.Then she noticed that long tentacles were beginning to form out of his body, and he started to look all slobby. Suddenly, he turned to a large octopus.It was then that reality hit her.“So, I wasn’t sent here to complete a task or what? To be killed?” She voiced out in pain of reality hitting her.“That’s a smart realization, honey.” The trickster responded in a loud voice, then swam towards her at a fast pace.Sylvia could not outswim him, neither could she escape from him at this point as he had already covered a wide range of the water with his tenta
Sylvia was already on her way to the woods where she found herself the first time she got here, and the air was still as chilly as it was the other time.“Oh, goodness. I hope tonight won’t be the end of me.” Sylvia muttered under her breath.She looked at the knife in her hand, and wondered how she was going to kill someone. It was going to be hard for her as she had never done anything like this.“Sylvia.” She heard a soft voice call out her name, and the breeze caressed her back.Sylvia gasped in shock and looked around as swift as she could. She licked her lips in fear and widened her eyes to be at alert to catch a glimpse of any move of her opponent.“Who are you? And why do you keep calling my name?” Sylvia questioned as she looked left and right, and then back and front.Then she heard a laughter that seemed like it was sounding faraway.“Do you really intend to kill me? I didn’t decide to kill you when you got here, but you have the guts to come at me first. Can you really han

ELIAS’ POVWe stood by Sylvia, and waited until she was okay enough to speak out on what had happened.“I…I had a terrible nightmare, and I feel it could keep on haunting me if I do nothing about it.” Sylvia said, looking really scared.“Come on, Sylvia. Try not to think that way. Nightmares occur once in a while, and especially after going through some traumatic events, but do not let them get the best of you, alright?” I said to her as I patted her back.After Scarlet and I had managed to convince her, she was able to go to her room to sleep.The next day, a knock came on the door, and while I was hoping it wasn’t Sylvia who had had another nightmare, Scarlet also sat up to confirm as well.“You don’t need to worry. You can go back to bed.” I urged her as I opened the door only to see the army commander.“Good morning, my Prince. I’m sorry if I woke you up from sleep, but the King and Queen has asked for your presence.” He informed me respectfully.“Alright then. Where are they?”“T
SCARLET'S POV.I opened my oven, and inhaled the sweet smell of pie coming from within. If I could just stay watching, and sniffing it, then I would do it immediately. With my huge mittens, I took out the pie, and began to dress it the way it ought to be for display. As I dressed it, I wondered if I should just leave it, lock the shop, and go home to Elias. I suddenly desired to see him. So many times, Elias and I slept with each other in the craziest ways possible, and the thought of it made me lock up the shop sometimes just to see him.“No Scarlet. That can wait.” I said, smiling at my naughtiness. Just then, Sylvia took one of the pies, and took a big bite. “Where did you pop out from?” I asked her, as she juggled the pie in her mouth, fanning it with her fingers. “Hm, this is… great, this. Love it.” She said, turning around and I shook my head. “Isn’t it sweeter because you didn't pay for it?” I asked, getting the pies ready to be displayed. “Maybe, but this is really goo
