"Death Wish?"They all nodded."Yes, and some bottles were missing then. Still haven't found who took them." Lore said. "I thought that medicine was just a myth." Maybe my face is a mess now that's why they laughed at it. "Our ancestors studied that strange medicine for a long time and that's why it became perfect through millions of attempts. That medicine is kept because of its ability, others make experiments with it to bring the dead back to life but no one succeeds. " Ruby's story."The only thing it can do is kill a person and bring him back to life after a few hours, stopping the heart from beating, but one has to be careful because when the dead body faces some circumstances it may not come back to life anymore. It is very dangerous to use that drug also because of what it can do to a person." She warned. Then it is true that there is such a medicine. But why would Nicolas want to take it? Where does he intend to use it?"How can someone take that kind of medicine?" I asked
I was still dreaming when suddenly I heard a knock on the door. It was continuous and it made me alert. I looked at the window and saw that the moon is still up, that's why I still feel the need to sleep. But who's that person outside?I got out of bed and walked silently towards the door. I put my ear close to the door to hear clearly who was outside."Analise! Analise! Are you here?" I heard a woman calling me, I couldn't find out who it was because she was just whispering. She breathes so fast, but I think I know this girl. I listened carefully first and when I realized that she was alone I slowly opened the door.Eve's face appeared to me with a lot of sweat all over, as if she was very tired, she's gasping for air. She looked exhausted, as if she had run from Healers Pier all the way to here.I immediately supported her and led her into my room."What's the matter?" I asked while handing her the glass of water."I don't know, someone chased me outside while I was busy picking p
Days have passed and I did not see Nicolas again after that encounter at the lake. Those days I was working with Sebastian was just a normal boring day.Until now, we still can't find the thief. Diane ordered me to rest first and focus on Sebastian while she continues to do her own work. Even the four ladies of Healers Pier were so busy. I would like to give them a visit when I am free. I also like to see if Solana and the servants are still fine. I am now inside Sebastian's room and cleaning around the area.Sebastian. I wonder if they already met since Nicolas was roaming around this area and Sebastian can easily feel something strange. Until now, I did not tell anyone about him, even to Sebastian because I am not really sure if he was the one he's looking for. If he knew it, would he be happy to know that his friend is still alive?Maybe it's better to remain silent until I find out the real story. For now, I will focus on my work. After I cleaned his bed I went to the drawers t
Eve did not leave my side, she's also holding my arms tight. I just let her, I can feel her fear right now. It might help her to feel at ease even a little if she has someone to hold onto. "A-Analisse…" She whispers, we are still walking straight the way where Sebastian was leading us.I glanced at her and she's looking at something above, it's so dark in here and we can barely see lights, the further we are going the more the light is fading. I followed what she's looking at and saw some big rats, they were eating some flesh off the bodies of the dead. Animals here were fed by human flesh, it's all they got. I think this is the jail Diane was talking about that time, where the prisoners are. They will be executed after 3 days of being imprisoned, if this is only the jail, the real opening to that place, what more to expect from the dungeon? I guess if we still go further, we will reach that place.Sebastian stopped from walking so did we, he faced one of the metal doors. There's t
Asilla remained unconscious for 2 days and still, we already transferred her to some comfortable place. We can't take her inside the Moon Subdue Palace since she can be seen by the ministers. I still don't know if they already knew the news that Sebastian freed her and I also haven't seen Diane's these past few days. I wonder where she went and what she's doing right now. I was waiting for Eve right here outside the Healers Pier, the other 3 girls supported us on this and they also made some medicine for Asilla and Mianmian. Mianmian remained in Alpha's watch, Manang Theresa takes good care of her now. "Analisse." Eve called me, I smiled at her and started walking. We are going to Asilla right now, she's in the house of one of Alpha Zidian's confidants. It's outside the Blood Moon pack so I can get outside for the first time now from my month of staying here, since Sebastian was the one who brought Asilla there 2 days ago and we haven't got any news if she's already up. I just mi
"What is that?!" Eve asked, she also got startled from the explosion outside. The smoke coming from the fire quickly went up, blocking the sky. The people were running from every corner of the place, I could hear them shouting in distress."What happened?" I asked a local, Eve can't go outside to follow me since she's still not done and she can't leave Asilla alone. We still need to make sure she's safe."The food storage was burned to ashes, this is bad." It really is, that was their source of food."Who's guarding it?"When he looked at me, there's horror on his face. He looks so terrified. "They all died, have been killed." Death is normal for them, but killing is not. After that, I immediately ran towards the place. I coughed when I inhaled the smoke, the whole area was really burned to ashes. I can barely see the surroundings. I looked around and saw Mr. Ping holding both sides of his head as if he doesn't know what to do, he's going insane. I joined him on the side. "Who made
"Did you see anyone there?" Mr. Ping asked, he was anxious until now, I understand since those people just ruined all of their stored goods. This city only depends on those foods, it will take a long time to repair all the damage too. "I did, two of them died. Haven't found how many they are, but I am sure it will not take long and they will go back, since two of them will not return." I told him. "H-How? Did you kill them?" I sighed, then nodded my head."Just one of them, the other took his own life for the price of his sins." I said."No, their life isn't enough." I flinched when he held my hand, he stared at my eyes, I could see the desperation in it. "Please protect us, protect my people." I couldn't help but to feel guilty, what if I can't? One person isn't enough to fight all of them when they all arrive at once."I can't promise, but I will do what I can." I sincerely told him, I don't want to make a promise that will soon be broken if I mess up and die. "That's alright, th
My heart started pumping hard as I smelled something unusual, I knew then there's something wrong. The smell started to become something they feared, explosions began to be heard as well, it's a gas! I ran towards the house where the fire started, the family inside were coughing, I entered the house and helped them get out."What happened? Are you okay?" I asked. "We really don't know, I am just taking care of my granddaughter, he needs to sleep even a little." The old woman said.I was about to ask her more when I saw some lighting from afar sky, and it's going in this direction.Shit.They were attacking the city through burning arrows. "Run! Run!" I shouted my lungs out, I guarded the entrance but some part of the city was starting to burn.I need to find those who are controlling it or else it will be the end for everyone in here. I bit my lips and clenched my fist as I saw them approaching, the footsteps were so loud and if I were to count them, it would be more than 30 peopl
