I followed behind Riftan as he escorted me back inside the building. How did he find me back in the northern gate, though?

"Give her new clothes. She's drenched because of the snow." He commanded the servants.

I stood there and watched as he walked away from me.

Did I just discover something that I wasn't supposed to? And besides, who was that girl? Why was she resting under that tree so effortlessly? She said that she wasn't from this place. Was she human or was she a lost Were? I can't really tell myself.

That dilapidated settlement behind the gates.

Does that somehow have anything to do with Riftan's past?

It was destroyed and abandoned. Moss was growing from the cement, and the meadows have flourished against those planks. It was as if it had been there, untouched for so many years.

And he did tell me that he was the one responsible for breaking the lever on the tower.

Now it makes me really curious what I can find behind those bars.

The burning feeling of daring, curiosity, and d

  • Vermillion Haze (Red Riding Hood Series)   The Vampire

    We ventured into the castle for a detour.There were many things I noticed in it.The amount of death in this desolate place. The silence that seemed to witness a forgotten myth, hiding behind the ashes and bones that litter the dusty marbled floor. It was elegant- if it weren't devoid of life.I couldn't help but notice shadows following as I led the siblings to a possible way out. The castle was covered in tall, thick walls- similar to Baronveil and Hezel. A symbol of a dynasty that ravaged wars. "There's something here, isn't there?" I asked them both. "We shouldn't have come here, brother." "We had no choice." All of a sudden, in our grim silence, we catch a glimpse of crimson hues glowing in the dark. I halted, hovering a hand sidewards to stop the two."W-What's that..?" "Stay back." I warned the creature in the dark."We... should light the lamp."Etina, the herbalist nodded at her brother's request and lit the lamp. When the embers shed light into the darkness, the creat

  • Vermillion Haze (Red Riding Hood Series)   The Siblings

    I inspected the grounds.I plunged towards the thick snow and buttoned my coat, slowly pacing towards the abandoned tent. I see no sign of human life but a newly built campfire, just as I thought. I looked around."They must have stayed here."The tent was shredded, some of its cloth grazed on the ground. I saw pots, utensils and a few books. I grab the books and skimmed through the pages.There were pictures of weird-looking plants and some alphabets I couldn't understand. Was this the herbalist's textbook?I looked around for footsteps. And yes, there were.However, it wasn't theirs.A huge paw print of a beast trailed from behind the destroyed tent. There was a red substance spreading from the snow. Fresh blood. If Vale was here, he would know who it belonged to.It was only then that I realized that they were attacked.I didn't intend to go this far beyond. It is still early in the afternoon, and I have time before dinner. I will go beyond a little more and see what I can find.Be

  • Vermillion Haze (Red Riding Hood Series)   In Base

    ZEN RIFTANBARONVEIL ALPS - PHANTOMCRESENT The distressed, cold expression on my face must’ve been obvious, even to Dreyar. He sighed while eating, his usual fashionable swagger not enough to hide his concern. I kept my eyes fixed on the distance, thoughts choking the air in my lungs. My lips were tight, my brows locked in a grim line. Nothing pleased me."Chill out, Zen," he said with a teasing tone, dropping a steak on my plate. "You've been eating less these days. You used to ravage the kitchen when we were kids, only for a snack."I shot him a look. "Who invited you today?" I asked, not bothering to hide the cold edge in my voice. "I don’t recall an event.""I invited myself." He shrugged and took back the steak, sensing that I wasn’t in the mood. No matter how much he joked or tried to lighten the mood, it wasn’t going to help."And what about your pack?" I arched a brow. "I pity them for having such a careless Alpha.""Oh, come on." He dropped his utensils. "I didn’t come here

    As promised, Vale took me to see the faunas today.At first, I thought he was kidding about the biting berries because he was smirking when he showed me the way, but when I saw it myself, my eyes widened so much that I forgot to blink for a minute. At this very moment, I found something rather strange about the biodiversity of these forests. The complexity of their evolvement baffled me!I mean, who wouldn't after seeing scrumptious, juicy-looking berries that would display their sharp fangs when you reach in to touch!I almost lost a finger today. Thank goodness Vale pulled me back before the berries munched on it!"Can we have these berries this evening? We only ate meat these days. Back in Riftan's base, we used to have desserts~" I pouted.Vale heaved a sigh and slashed the berries' stems. The berries squealed their death cry before wilting to the ground. Amber-like oil was secreted from its roots."Let's have a venomous dessert this evening, then. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experi

    THE MEDICINE ARC, YEAR 202X, NORTHERN HIGHLANDS, CONTINENT OF HEZELRUBY VERMILLION"This is as far as the cart could go."The galloping of the horses ceased and the sound of frigid winds followed. The thick tall grasses were seasoned with snow whilst the mist grew from the sea of trees. Despite the harrowing fog, the huge formation of unusual rocks could be seen from a distance, like a spike ready to impale the unfortunate fallen."Ready your coat," Vale instructed me and took his bow. "Let's make camp."I quickly rush to get my weapons belt and make my way out of the carriage. I felt the aggressive breeze slice through my cheek in a sharp frost. I lowered my hood and investigated my surroundings."All clear." I murmured to Vale. Soon enough, we started to pile the logs we brought and made ourselves a little bit of shelter. As the navigator pulled the carriage away, Vale and I prepared our campfire and quickly discussed our course of actions.The Beta laid down a map of the Northern

  • Vermillion Haze (Red Riding Hood Series)   Good Luck, Ruby!

    The maids helped me with my suit as they clipped the belts around my waist and around my chest in a crossing style. I have complained to Satelnos about my clothes being too heavy, but he told me that the armor was much needed if I were to venture into the Northern Highlands. Beside me was Vale, who was being clothed well by Linda. The Beta gave me a look and raised his eyebrows. "What?""N-Nothing." I looked away and pretended to fix the flow of my crimson cloak.Linda leaned against Vale and whispered something that I could hear very clearly. "She's probably wondering where Lord Riftan is. Teehee!""N-No I wasn't!" I"We believe that you'll return momentarily after you're done with this. You don't have to say goodbye to him. Youll be together in no time-""T-That's not what I-" I protested, as the burning feeling pooled across my cheeks. Ugh. Why is this teasing getting into me?"What seems to be the commotion here?" a cold, familiar voice said from behind. I saw his shadow loom befo
