The Queen's Pawns

It was dark and cold. There was an occasional howl of the blowing wind entering the room and the smell of rust was evident in the air. The room was old and it can be said that the room was made for torturing people. There were several chains and some pile of bones on the ground telling that the very space was really use for such stuff. It was then when the silence crept in and the wind stopped blowing, a faint sound of breathing could be heard in the distance. The darkness was eventually lit by a gloomy candle in the corner and a pale yet pristine complexion was revealed. The soft clanging of chains could be heard as the body sway slowly. After the howling noise left, the person was unconsciously alarmed by a sound of a heavy clang of metal piece that rolled from the edge of the window into the surface. The quietness seems to be interrupted and the person who seems to be sleeping had woken up. Hellion slowly opened her eyes. Her vision was dim and blurry probably because of a long t

Hellion hid behind the trees and sat on the ground, panting heavily. She never thought that she could run a mile in just a blink of an eye. Hellion covered her face, her cheeks burning like a hot tomato. Gosh! That perverted man! How dare he kiss her so unreasonably? She might be following him all along but does he really need to resort to sexual harassment? How can a !an be so unreasonable and rude! Hellion hold her burning cheeks, her face flushing like a tomato. Darn it. Now, she finally lost him. How else would she find out where to go? She shouldn’t have run away from him and jus— Hellion paled up on her thought. Just what?! Sacrifice your dignity to that kind of man? Have you lost your mind? How could she not run away if he threatened her like that?! Hellion eagerly scolded herself. She look up and let out a heavy sigh. What now? Should she chase after him again but his words instantly popped in front of her making her contemplate. He wasn’t joking, he could really do somethi

Hellion followed him towards the inn quietly like a mouse. She was led towards the second floor and directed to a room. Xegris entered inside and look at her. She instantly frozen up from his gaze and stiffly stared back at him. Xegris just snickered at her and paid no attention to her anymore. Hellion inhaled deep. She badly wanted to punch his face but she decided to endure it. Her heart has been thumping out loud ever since the afternoon, it might be anger or nervousness but she couldn’t help but think of what this perverted jerk might do if she let down her guard. She didn’t agree nor did she even refused but he let her follow him in so this should be fine right? It’s not that she’s digging her own grave, she just wanted to check if she can still negotiate. As she was immersed in her own thoughts. Hellion was then startled by the sound of a click! When she looked ahead, she saw the devil with an irritated expression. Did he just clicked his tongue at her?! Hellion clenched her t

Hellion twirled the dagger in her hand and smiled. She felt an incredible sense of familiarity in the said weapon. Her chest throbbed a bit and her eyes glimmered in happiness. It feels like a hole was filled inside her as she look at the dagger with great satisfaction. Xegris silently stared at her and just watch her play with the dagger. He then nod his head seeming to agree with his own thoughts. Hellion glanced at him as she held the dagger in her hand while swinging it a bit in front of him. Ah, how nice it would’ve been if she could pierced him right now? A passing thought crossed her mind as the dagger was flipping wonderfully in the air. The blade shone and her very image was reflected on it as if a familiar feeling was blooming inside her. “You really brought me one. Aren’t you scared that I might stab you with your gift someday?” She curiously asked him and put the dagger back into its sheath. Xegris simply smirked at her as he look at her like she was an idiot. “Aren’t

There are two continents separating the mortal realm and other race from each other. The first continent includes the Kingdom of Kigona and Vierris while the second continent has the Kingdom of Catatonia that was govern with the were beasts. Next to them was the dwarven island, Nefaria. The sylphs was up high in the sky and below them was Omisus, the territory of mermaids. Although, the sylphs are said to be extinct, few of them were often seen. The two people who traveled the west just reached the city gate of Tantibus, the capital of Catatonia. In the bustling streets, the beast folks look at them with strange eyes. Their gaze particularly fixated on the girl on the man’s shoulder. Their ears perked up in curiosity as they silently watched the man walked and passed by them. Xegris walked with a grim expression in his face. He was apparently exhausted and the burden in his shoulder worsen his mood more. Hellion swayed as he walked and he was carrying her like a sack of rice. She w
