Yesterday's meal was amazing.

I don't even know if I was able to contain and secure my sanity for that food. I would die and suffer only to grab a taste of that soft and tender meat, cured with honey and spices which was also braised to perfection.

Despite my complaints about how poorly accommodating this shelter was, I would say that they are quite filling in those gaps, and that's scary.

I'm afraid that one day, I might choose not to leave this place again. Everything was comfortable. The ambience, the snowy forests, the food.

As always, I woke up to the sound of pans clattering that awful stench of wet dog fur and the musky scent of mold. I scrunch my nose and cover them as another set of Weres came from what I assumed, was an expedition to expand their influence on the lower regions.

Darn it. I have to leave this place as fast as I could. I need to give every intel to the King as soon as possible.

Or I'll be too late.

I retreated myself to the corner of my cold cage and stared

  • Vermillion Haze (Red Riding Hood Series)   Lunacy

    Ydrian stared at his masterpiece.Once a baker, now turned into a humongous flesh-eating beast. Once a maiden, now melted into a blob of flesh and blood. Once a tailor, now growing fur and claws- and then howls."HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!" his laughter filled the courtroom as the creatures continued to reach their peaks of evolution. He found it funny how seemingly beautiful humans were at first- and now they've turned into something so hideous as that."CAN YOU SEE THIS, VERMILLION?!" he turned to look at her, boasting of his invention, but his tone changed upon seeing her in crocodile tears. "V-Vermillion?""How can you have the guts to do this?" she sobbed. "I... told you to stop..."For some reason, Ydrian could not take his eyes off her. He ran towards her and then caressed her face. "Why are you crying? What's wrong?"Ruby shook her body in order to get away from him. It's like he has turned into a completely different person upon seeing her cry."Ruby... why are you crying..?""Y-You're

    Argh...My head pulses with pain as I stir. My muscles won't respond. Eyes open, but all I see is black. Where am I?Silence. Deafening silence. I can hear my heartbeat, my ragged breathing. Something pounds behind my eyes."Crap..." I muttered, helpless.Then, glowing amber eyes appear in the dark. The air turns cold."You're awake."I froze.His voice. His footsteps echo as lights suddenly flicker on.I'm in the King’s courtroom. Blood is everywhere. People lie scattered across the floor. My jaw drops."H-How long was I...""Days," Ydrian replies, stepping toward me. "How are you feeling?""WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!" I jerk away from his hand. "W-Why is everyone...?""Ah... Ruby. The city's been so quiet since you were asleep." He points at me. "I even dressed you for the occasion."I glance down. My clothes have changed. He touched me."You... bastard.""Don’t worry, I warned the people not to peek into the Palace. As long as they behave, they won’t become dog food."These people

    ZEN RIFTANReturning to Baronveil was our only option.Ruby didn’t need to stay behind—but she did. She gave us time.Snow swallowed the trees and blurred the horizon as we reentered the Alps. The silence of the land pressed on my ears like an omen. I gave the command without hesitation—assemble the men. There would be war, and we had to prepare.Ydrian might sit alone on that blackened throne, but his influence seeped through the cracks of every village, every whisper. He’d branded the rogues as his—turned them into pawns.They weren’t rogues anymore.They were his pack now.“She’s such an idiot,” Robynn grumbled, pacing the war room. I didn’t look at him. His voice was enough to paint the lines of worry etched into his face. “I did not raise her to be such a reckless child!”“Ruby will be fine,” Linda replied. Her belief in Ruby never wavered. She pressed a warm cloth against Princess Elise’s cheeks. “She would never let us down.”“We need to get to her,” Robynn snapped. “Strike Ydr

    He was such a bad liar. So bad, in fact, that I couldn’t help but laugh when I remembered how he stuttered in front of me. I manipulated him with my words just like he manipulated others with his. His robe was filthy, and I could see the tissue beneath his skin regenerating as we spoke."Your lower arm looks odd," I pointed out, and of course, he hid it behind him."Odd?""Show it to me." I was pushing him into a corner with my questions, and I wasn’t stopping any time soon. "I want to see what's wrong with it.""I slipped earlier.""And yet your robe isn’t sullied," I replied. "Just how much are you going to hide?""I’m not hiding anything. You're tired, and so am I. Let's retire for the night, shall we?""I haven’t investigated that place you went into yet," I told him. "I’m not leaving until you tell me what’s inside there.""There is nothing in there," he insisted. "Do you not believe me?"Not an ounce. "You just said you heard a noise," I said, pressing further. "Don’t go changin

    "Ruby!"Robynn’s voice snapped me out of my daze as he pulled me up from the manhole. I hadn’t realized how dark it had gotten. As soon as I emerged, I scanned the area—unconscious sentries scattered everywhere. Some Hunters were guarding the perimeter, forming a loose circle around us.“W-What’s going on..?”“We apprehended the General and told him to give a statement to the Hunters about the King's crimes,” Robynn explained. “But these Weres disguised as soldiers tried to interfere. Thank goodness we caught them in time.”They what?!If I had stayed in there any longer and they’d gotten to me...I didn’t even want to think about it.“Hey there, Captain!” a few Hunters called out. I tried to respond, but my brain was still foggy from all the running and fighting.“The princess... where is she?” I asked hoarsely.“She’s here,” Linda said, wrapping Princess Elise in a blanket. The poor girl looked confused—probably overwhelmed by the sudden shift from her dark cell to this chaotic free

    "Well, hello, hello, Elise."That cocky voice. I know who owned that.I peeked around the corner and watched as Ydrian stared at the chains on the ground that I had just broken into. My scent is going to be there since I touched them. If he finds me, it is game over. He tried to sniff the air and then looked over to the corner in my direction. We matched irises, but then his gaze returned to the other side."Has someone been here?" he asked the princess, who was crawling on the floor.Can't he find me? Can't he smell me?Don't tell me the stench of rotten blood was so pungent that he failed to sense my presence?"Princess." he opened the metal bar and then crouched. "You are spewing blood again. The last time I asked maids to clean their cells, they ended up being snacks to those failures."'Failures'?What the hell?"Speaking of those failures... where are they? I didn't seem to hear their grumbling in the corridors."Was he not using a torch upon reaching this corridor? Did he not s
