“You need to be absolutely careful and work on your accent. Thankfully, the Star Clan people don't know much about the Lagsu people otherwise you would've been found out.” Poison said after closing the door to the huge hall assigned for the Saintess of Lagsu.
“And be more cautious, there's magic everywhere in Star Clan. Even the leader of Star Clan has the ability to see through spells like the one you have on.” Poison said while staring down at his feet.“There's no chance for us here. What more? It's just me. I can't take down the Chief of Star clan.. I don't even know where he lives for goodness sake.”Violet sighed, “Don't do anything, Poison. I—I'll tell you everything in seven days, just give me seven days and I'll tell you all you need to know.”Poison scoffed, “Listen, this is not the time to make jokes.”“I am not kidding with you. We're in a life and death situation and I don't wanna die, at least, not yet. Just believe me, this once. I promise I won't let you down”Poison rolled his eyes, “Promise? Too bad I don't believe in—”Violet stood on her tiptoes and leaned upwards to peck Poison on his lips before he could finish his negative words.Poison was in turn.. speechless.“Where I'm from, a deep promise with an outsider must be sealed with a kiss. Its a blessing and well.. a curse—” She cleared her throat, “Let's not talk about the curse part. I'll definitely fulfill my promise as long as you help me mask my real identity, all I need is just seven days.”He was still in a daze.“Poison?”
“Y.. y-your lips are bitter, D-don't do this again.” Poison backtracked to the door and ran out when his fingers grasped the doorknob.
Violet chuckled to herself, “What's wrong with him?”***
“Chief Phalan and Lady Musa just arrived Star rock. Thankfully, Leader Avon made it on time to greet them.
“Good. Which hall did you give them?”“Leader Avon let Chief Phalan share his residence while the Saintess was sent to the Lotus lake hall.”The man clad in a white robe sighed thoughtfully, “He's guarding against them. Is there anything suspicious?”“Their manner of poise and speaking is different. They act like they're not from the same culture.”The man held the side of his white robe, his gray eyes boring into the younger man stormy blue eyes. “Tell me the difference you noticed between the two of them.”“One is arrogant and entitled while the other is alert and aware.. her poise and manner of speaking is polished and filled with wits. She knows exactly what she deserve.”“Hmmm” The man stood in front of his room mirror thoughtfully, “She is different from the rumours if you're right about what you just said.”“Master, what did the rumours say about her?”
“Naive to the power and authority her title holds. But with what you just said, I think that is not the case. I'll have to see for myself.”
Lance smiled.
“By the way, is Avon really intending to get his son engaged to the Saintess of Lagsu district, Lady Musa.”Lance cleared his throat upon his master's question, “I think the engagement is meant for Kian not Alaric.”His master blew up, “WHAT?!”***
The door to the room where Leader Avon and Chief Phalan were happily drinking, bursted open.
Immediately, leader Avon began to laugh as though he had been expecting him.
“Chief June Malfoy, what brings you here at this time of the night? I'm afraid it's not appropriate to burst in like that especially when I'm entertaining your guest.” Leader Avon smiled, a hand fan in his left hand and a cup filled with wine on his right.Chief Phalan who was dead drunk drooled on the table while laughing and mumbling gibberish at the same time.“Who is the proposed marriage for?”“Kian of course.” Chief June Malfoy angrily marched towards Leader Avon, dragging him from his seat and holding him by the neck. “Don't do anything stupid, Avon. I dictate what happens to my son so mind your own business and worry about your own son!”Leader Avon sighed, and shrugged Chief June's hand off his neck. “Wouldn't it be good to set Kian up with a beautiful woman now?” he consumed the rest of the alcohol in his small cup and tossed it aside, “In future, it'll be difficult. After all, no woman would want to marry a blind.”“Avon!” Chief June yelled.“Don't have hope that Kian will be able to see again. Because he will never. Do you remember the time you used magic to forcefully open his eyes?!”Chief June inhaled and closed his eyes, keeping his anger in check.“That's right Chief June,” Just accept the engagement, “That way Kian will have someone reliable to help rule the clan in future.”“No, that isn't right. It's been decades since we had women in Star rock—”“—That is why, your son should marry. At least, he'll be remembered in history as a man who supported women in politics not a blind useless son of Chief June!”“I will not accept the engagement no matter what you say.” With that, chief June stormed off angrily.
Leader Avon smiled, blowing the fan over his face elegantly, “Chief June you better think about this carefully.”
It was a calm day. The trees danced slowly to the wind's soft rock and the waters calmly moved forth and back in response to earth's restitution.Just when Violet took a step towards the lake filled with newly bloomed lotus flowers, she heard a soft melody played by the lute.The melody was slow at first then it fastened, to a more urgent pitch. Two steps closer to the lake, Violet felt like she was in a dream so she crouched in front of the lake and smiled with her fingers playing with the waters in the lake.The melody continued at a more aggressive pace, filling Violet's head with even more absurd thoughts such as unicorns, pretty dances, cookies, sweets. She didn't even realize when she gazed at her reflection and fell into the lake.Then her body started sinking into the lake without her knowledge. She was really far away from her body.. one could tell by the distant smile on her face.Suddenly the music from the lute stopped playing
By daybreak, Violet didn't find any trance of Poison and when she asked the maids, they said that Poison left before she woke. Violet was a bit relieved. Now she could carry out her plan accordingly.She stood in front of the building where she saw the brown eyed and waited patiently.After a few minutes, she saw someone coming out from the building. But it wasn't the brown eyed. It was the boy she saw naked in the pool— The boy with gray eyes and he seemed to be walking to her direction. Violet sighed and turned away. Which of them owned the building? The brown eyed or the gray eyed. “Hello miss?” A silky voice murmured behind her. She sighed and turned around to face the gray eyed. “Hi.” “I was informed that a female specie called Saintess Musa is here outside my yard, do you happen to be her?” “Rude! How dare you refer to a woman with such dignity as a female specie?” “Aren't you a female specie?” Upon not receiving a response, the gray eyed boy bowed. “Please forgive me,
When Violet woke up she felt refreshed and energised unlike the previous day. She also noticed that she no longer felt conflicting energies in her veins. It was such a relief. She spotted a letter on the table across her bed and internally appreciated Lance's kindness. He helped her. But she couldn't determine what his motive was. As a goddess, she could easily figure it out but in her memories, she didn't understand how she was able to do such powerful things. She felt worn out. She didn't even know who she was. She was about to break down when her thought shifted back to the letter. She stood from the bed and grabbed the letter, reading the contents out loud. Saintess, There's fresh fruits in the kitchen. Please refrain from eating heavy meals untill I say so. Don't even think of leaving the house. See you tonight. Lance. Violet scoffed. Who was he trying to boss around? She was a goddess and a princess even though she wasn't entirely sure. All she had to do was try to reme
The door opened revealing Lance. His eyes widened when he saw Violet seated on a wooden table in a different costume. White loose tunic and purple leggings with silver chains around her ankles. A staff was embedded in her right hand and a whip around her waist. She really looked like the god that was spoken of, Xenia.He shook his head. That couldn't be.The saintess consciousness was intact when he left the previous night.“Saintess..” he said, closing the door. “I'm not the saintess.” Violet hairs rose as she stood on her feet, grinning at the gorgeous soul in front of her.“You,” she whispered, taking a step towards him, “Are mine.”“Bullshit.” Lance moved his hairs to make magic but Violet appeared next to him and pinned him against the wall, staring at the dread in his stormy blue eyes. She grinned at how much he was panicking and stared down at his inviting lips.She did not hesitate.She captured his entire lips in hers and filled his heart with obsession, intoxication, pain,
“What are you going to do in Keitan anyway? You didn't tell me.”“Actually.. I'm going to see my old friend of mine.”Violet sighed.The memory she gave Lance was happy and kind. If she tainted it by being too arrogant and unkind, he could see through her illusion. So for now, she had to play the role of his lover all too well.“Which old friend is that?”“I did her a favour before and she asked me to come over so she can return the favour.”Lance smiled, “Alright. I'll escort you there—”“—There's no need for that, Lance.” She interupted, running her fingers through his chest. “I'll be back in no time.”Lance nodded hesitantly, “How long before you come back?”“Seven days.”“SEVEN DAYS?! Do you want me to die?”“Stop exaggerating Lance, seven days isn't a lot. I'm just going to catch up with my friend and have a little fun, you can also have some fun while you're here.”“I still don't get why I can't join you.”Violet sighed, resisting the urge to yell at him to stop being clingy.“L
“Welcome to Green motten, my humble abode.” Poison said softly as they appeared in a sunny mansion surrounded with trees and wonderful flowers that bloomed naturally under the golden sunlight.Violet glanced at it unfeelingly, her castle was better.Poison walked through the beautiful greens and Violet followed, wondering why his area was so sunny. It made her feel somewhat uneasy.“Why did you save me?”Poison hesitated, “I—i could use some genuine tears on my funeral.”“Huh? Didn't you say wanted to check on what I was doing? Does that mean you suspected that I was going to swallow other mortals energy.”Poison let out a sigh of relief, “Yes.”Violet frowned.“Seriously though? Why does a god reincarnate to be a killer, I don't understand.”“I could ask you the same question.Violet clenched her fists and stepped into the mansion after Poison.“Isn't it obvious?! I needed to preserve the other half of my soul for the day I would awaken fully. I reincarnated in Thestryn because they
“What do you feel?” Violet was sitting outside with Poison standing behind her under the sunrise. “I think the sun is a bit too warm for comfort.”“I didn't ask about your thoughts, I asked about what you feel.”“I feel a vibration inside of me. It's soft and low but it's not non-existent.”“Good. Now, just sit there and let your mind wander. Wherever it goes, don't stop it and don't repress your emotions no matter how it comes out.”“Call me if you need comfort or anything else.” Poison said and Violet felt a lack of his warmth around her. She sighed, keeping her feet planted on the ground and enjoyed the feeling of being.Her thoughts whispered and her mind roared and she just sat there, listening.. watching..She watched how it all started. How a weak last breath with a science experiment brought her into existence. Knowing she wouldn't be embraced by the gods with original bloodline and strong legacy, she attempted to create one.She entered void, a sucking vacuum to train so sh
“So, what do I do today?”“Come with me.” The duo walked outside of the mansion and through the trees and path of fresh flowers. They stopped in front of a pond. Across of the pond was a closed cave.“Your task is to walk on the water without falling in.”Violet shrugged, “Easy peasy.”She enveloped her body with energy and took a step into the pond. Immediately, she felt a wave of energy flung her away. She balanced herself and looked at Poison questionably.Poison smiled, “You didn't let me finish. The pond has my aura around it and every step you take towards it might be extremely painful, you might even lose your life.”Violet sighed, “Why are you just telling me that now, punk?”“Punk? I'm your teacher now, how can you take me so lightly?”Violet rolled her eyes at him, “I'll show you what I'm made of!”“Be careful.”Violet exhaled and took a step on the pond, her energy protecting her from stepping on the water. Just then, the wave of energy from earlier tried to toss her aside
