KING ODENCLIFFE
He looked at himself in the mirror with satisfaction. His white complexion rendered him the most attractive King in the history of Welkin. His brothers envied this part of him so much that they used to bully him all the time when they were younger.
One of his concubines, whose name he had long forgotten, handed him his most favored weapon, the rapier. She murmured a couple of praises that he subtly ignored.
Odincliffe is the King known for his fondness for beauty. He likes collecting things that are appealing to his eyes. Unlike his brother Trevino, who's a collector of everything unique, or his brother Altaire, a fanatic of destruction,
I wrote this novel three years ago when I underwent a period of depression that stemmed from sexual harassment at work. For all the girls out there who had experienced the same thing from the worst of men, I pray karma gets the men that had wronged us if justice doesn't. Have a great day to whomever ends up reading this.
Trevino called fort for the Eye, Resmeia, as soon as he arrived back at his Fiefdom. He waited patiently for her in his throne room, answering his consort's inquiries about the summit in a passive tone. Resmeia strode inside the throne room, but he sent her flying across the place as soon as she had gone near enough. She landed in a dull thud on the marbled floor. "How dare you let yourself get spied on?!" his wrath sent a ripple of raw power throughout the room. "You careless fool!" She rose from the floor, clutching her throbbing chest. She heard a husky chuckle, and she didn't have to look that it came from the King's consort. What valid reason can she offer? She thought of none and settled on silence. &nbs
Selena and Zach arrived at the docks and quickly noticed the crowd milling around the place. Instead of kids the same age as her brother, they found grownup men holding makeshift weapons from bats to pipes. The abandoned storehouse near it is obviously where her brother's being kept. Their bloodshot eyes spelled substance abuse, and they didn't have to guess what substances they favored. Selena realized that Titan was obviously not the leader. She started making a mental map of their daring infiltration using her not yet perfected invisibility. Still, when she had finally come up with a safe route, Zach was gone. "Zach?" she looked around, but he was nowhere. She looked at the
Julia's enhanced eyesight made it possible to see what was currently happening on the beach, kilometers away from the yacht she was now on. She had enhanced her senses three days ago, and the signals she was receiving came from people like her. The first pulse sent searing warmth on her chest when the yacht was rocked by a huge wave. She can only explain it as a collision of radiances. There was another outburst, but instead of crash, there was repulsion. How it was made possible, she wanted to know. She started to pace in her location. She has to get there fast. Karmic, her bodyguard slash jailer, watched her, eyes sparkling in anticipation. His eyes were visibly saying, 'Here comes the excitement.' &n
Keron and his company followed the escaping Radiant Spirit to steal it back once it sunk to its new host. Keron exhibited a flying prowess he'd never shown before, and Morton was starting to feel annoyed by it. "The Prince is obviously ecstatic," he said and snorted. Keron scoffed. "You're just jealous. And you're still a bit sour on Bellera's death." "I am not!" Morton hissed. "Everyone at the academy knew you fancied her," Keron told him. "Right, Prowlaz?" "She never liked you, you know," Prowlaz told him
Cynthia wanted to scream, cry and thrash in place. Yes, she could hear their conversation, but she was too preoccupied to join in. Working on Zach's brain didn't only mean that she had to control the frantic nerves yearning for an end. It meant browsing through his memories as well. She felt like she was intruding in something incredibly private, but she could not endure. Zach's life is a living nightmare. She watched his earliest memories that she doubts even he, himself, still remembers. His mom treated her like trash and had refused to nurse him. She watched his parents fight in his memories when he was nothing but a babe. When he was two, his father killed his mom by drowning her in the tub. When he was three, his father watched him try to walk and eat by himself. H
Titan hated being fat. No matter how hard he tried, his bones were simply bigger than the rest of the population's.Sure I eat a lot and sleep a lot, definitely not enough reason to be fat!Who is he kidding? That's the reason why he'd been bullied most of his life. And the reason why he had ended up with his ability to take and bestow pain-- taking pain for he had experienced quite a lot of them himself and bestowing them simply for vengeance purposes.Revenge of the bullied. The Endless Cycle of Bullying. Only Selena's younger sister Lyka had been kind to him. Even though he's fat and most of the time doesn't smell nice, Lyka never showed any sign of host
Dylan knelt down on the sand as he watched the girls do something he had never seen them do before. A fat-boned kid explained what had happened. They aimed to change Zach's whole anatomy just so he could live, and Selena was heading the operation. Selena's lips are chapped and pale. Her eyes are almost lifeless. Her skin had started to shrivel. And her Radiance is waning. Dylan knew that Selena was risking too much for comfort. Obviously, she's sacrificing her life just so she can save him. He knew that Selena was the type that seldom cared. But her loyalty is perfect. A feat like this, she can wholeheartedly do only to people important to her. Selena can do it
The General brought him inside the Headquarters. He followed him straight to a vast room that houses tons of books stacked up in shelves ranging from floor to ceiling. The older man with radiance welcomed them as they entered. Dylan smiled stiffly. "How may I be of assistance, Sir?" he asked. "Jerell. meet Dylan. Dylan, here's Jerell," Dylan's said. "Teach my grandson about the history of all those factions under the rule of the IRB," he answered. "He will be taking the Exam three days from now. I want him fully informed." "Three days will not cover up everything, Sir." "Just keep on teaching him whatever you can cover until then," he said. "I'll be going now." Jerell bowed his head as Dylan's grandfather left the room.
