“I, Dahlia Black, pledge my life, myself, and my sword, to serve you and only you, Nara Yoren, from this day, until my last day, I swear to be without fear in the face of your enemies, to be brave and upright, to speak the truth and listen to the voice of rightness, to safeguard the helpless and do no wrong, and to protect you with my life even if it led to my death.” Sara spoke the words while on her knees, but to her, the supposedly sacred oath was nothing but words, words she memorized and recited but didn’t mean in the slightest, for she didn’t feel the need of some oath to tell her what needed to be done.
Nara on the other hand, and after tapping Dahlia’s shoulders with the big old sword that belonged to their ancestors, looked at her friend with immense pride, her friend, she smiled at the thought, she didn’t know the strange and aloof girl well enough to consider her as a friend, but she was grateful that Dahlia came into her life, e
“Sara...''Eren whispered, breathed, yelled, or maybe just said the name in his head, he had no idea, everything around him stopped, the time stopped, the noises stopped, the movements stopped, his brain stopped, he even doubted that for a second his heart stopped, he was still standing but he couldn’t feel his legs, he didn't know whether to believe his eyes or not, she was right there, the why of his sleepless nights, the tormentor of his heart and mind, standing in the same corridor, in the same world, different then the last time he saw her, her long silver hair was short and inky black, almost as black as his, she looked slightly taller, her body was more mature and feminine, her scars were as vivid as they were the night she got them, she was wrapped in dark clothes, she wasn't a fan of the color before which was strange, she always loved the lively colors of nature, he didn't care though, none of these things mattered to him, no matter how she looked she wa
''Don't you dare go near her...'' Eren stared at Sara, confused, wondering what did she mean as she growled the words, her? the princess? Did she think he cared about the redheaded princess when his fair lady, his everything, was standing right in front of him? she looked furious, her pure eyes flashing with animalistic anger, something he never witnessed in her eyes before, and he couldn’t help but think, that she looked so beautiful, even with her vivid scars, it was just…so perfect and dark, as if he was seeing his own reflection on her beautiful self, and the thought of him and her combined in one made his heart go wild as he regretted releasing her from his hold so fast, before he could have enough of her, of her smell, of her warmth, of her proximity.Nevertheless, Eren knew it was the wrong time to admire her beauty and let his imagination fool him, for he did sense the fire burning under her skin heating up the entire room, as well as the intensified grav
Sara left the room with steady steps, her shoulders pulled back and her head held high, her eyes dry from tears and emotions, even though she was everything but steady inside, her feelings were all over the place, her heart was going wild with all the mixed up emotions, and her head summoned all of the fucked up thoughts and memories, all at once, all mixed up and unorganized, the dance at the ball, the last meeting on the edge of the dark forest, the cell she was kept on, the demoness who tortured her, the things that demoness said, the first time he kissed her, and the last time too, the time in his room, the time in his villa, the times by the river, the first time she met him, the things he said to her, for a moment she lost all differentiation between what was real and what was not, for a moment everything looked like a cruel joke, and she didn’t know what to believe and what to not, raising her hand to her face, she touched her scars, the four long groo
Henry and Rima stared with widened eyes at Dahlia who was scanning the place with her eyes, looking for the lost princess, her cold mask slipping to show how worried she actually felt.“We thought that she was with you, she left the dining room to come and get you and she didn’t return!” Rima frowned, her expression a mixture of worry and pain, her burns looked back but not a bad as the ones that hit her pride after being defeated by a hybrid.“You mean you don’t know where she is? You are her fucking knightess! How come you don’t know where she is?” Henry barked at the black-haired girl who was running all over the place, not caring about him as she gave orders for everyone to look for the princess, the pain and fear for his sister only intensified his anger which he directed towards the person he liked the least in the room.“Calm down, Henry! It is no one’s fault!” Eren barely contained the angry gro
"That demoness in red said that they got her, then ordered everyone else to retreat, she was also targeting Henry, Why is that?" Sara, who regained her coldness and composure, asked Eren in her neutral voice, she didn't like the fact that she was going to work with him, the idea of having him close made her anger rise, but she was willing to do anything to save her sister, and right then, her best and probably only chance to do so was by allying herself with the shadows’ lord, a small part of her kept on telling her that this could be another trap but the biggest part, the sister part, pushed away her doubts, there was nothing in this world or any world worth losing her sister for, not her deeply buried fears, not her personal loath to the shadows’ lord, not her pride, nothing, Nara was her top priority and for her she was willing to do anything and everything, even if it meant joining forces with the bastard she hated the most."I don't know for sure, but i
Eren took one last glance at the girl hiding behind the rocks, her eyes sharp and fixated on the entrance of the cave, her breaths were silent and her moves were subtle, too conscious with everything around her.He didn’t know how to feel about the whole thing anymore, for he was no longer able to neglect the fact that she was damaged, too damaged, and it led her to surround herself with high thick walls and slowly sink in darkness, it was a defensive mechanism, her way of dealing with pain, and was his when he was a child as well, until he turned mad, and he didn’t want her to walk on the same path.He feared that she would lose herself, and unlike her, he wasn’t pure enough to bring her back, if anything he was just as dark, yet his fair lady didn’t belong into that darkness, and the thought scared him, for he realized that even when she was alive, she wasn’t truly living.She was so beautiful, but so broken, Eren thought as he fi
"Fucking traitors..." Eren’s voice was ice cold and so were his eyes as he spoke the words, observing the group of bastards who dared to betray him and join hands with the fire bastard, led by the Geraldine’s father, Mr. Renaldy, who barely looked like himself, the once dignified man was but a shadow of his old self, he looked miserable and half dead, as if he had no reason to live anymore." Oh, pardon us for our ‘treason’, my Lord, you see, every action has a consequence, and you should have thought about this one particular consequence, when you murdered my only daughter!" Mr. Renaldy's sardonic smile didn’t match the angry glare he threw at Eren while talking about the dead Geraldine "She loved you, My daughter, She did everything and anything just to make you happy and satisfied, and when she saw, as we all saw, That you were losing yourself and your way for that hybrid, She tried to save you, And what did you do?""I killed her..." E
Sara didn't mean to say those words out loud, nor to show herself that early, especially with how ferocious the battle was between all the demon and the shadows’ lord, but she couldn’t stop herself nor the blazing rage she was feeling once she saw her sister’s unconscious state lying at the feet of the demoness in red.When Eren left her outside the cave to sneak inside it, Sara tried to busy herself with analyzing and grasping the things he said about her powers and how to use it instead of thinking about the way he made her feel, she already knew that she was able to sense the life force of others, and even see it as the lights sheens that surrounded them, but to thing that she had the power to control that life, take it and give it was what surprised her, but she knew it was an advanced level that she couldn’t reach just yet, and for the time being, she chose to concentrate on the elements, water, he said, and water was her choice.However, S
