"I'm a benevolent being.""Wait, benevolent. It means the good spirits right? Grandmother used to tell me about angels and demons." I saw his gaze fell on me as he stood opposite me, then I realized I was supposed to offer him something also. "I can check if there's another apple inside the bag, or something else." I was about to get up when I saw my respond made his nose to wrinkle."Apple, for what?" The look on his face was priceless. With his eyes narrowed, his thick brown brows pulling down and a bit of his almost white teeth exposed, creating a look somewhat between a confused and an irritated one."Food?" He stared as if I was going insane and only rubbish rushed out of my mouth."To eat—food?""Never mind. Tell me, what are you? An ang-""Hold it your majesty. I am, wait, and angel? No. I am not those things. They are demonic creatures and beings, with white

The ocean. You'd think going through the ocean, it would be filled with beautiful fishes and other living aquatic lives, and beautiful palaces underwater.Well think again!We travelled pass the tall dark trees that stood well arranged in the woods, eerie howls growling behind us. The flame still shone brightly in my hand, guiding us to our destination. We finally arrived at a shore. I didn't even know how, everywhere around us was covered in silent darkness. As soon as the horse arrived, it stopped and then the stone went off."Perfect timing." I mumbled and waited for a reply from the horse but it turned out it'd disappeared again. "Coward." The horse must had been wondering why I called it a coward, but I wasn't even talking to the horse.Jeez! I'm just as confused as you are.You couldn't tell where the dark skies ended and the dark seas bega

"So, you killed the god?""Shall we get over to the next place? The whole point of the mission gave me a headache. A painful headache that you have no idea how to get rid of, you can't cut your head off just because you wanted to cure your headache! Although I wished I could just fill that, only if I wouldn't die.You know that feeling, when wish you could just stop something but you dare not stop. You see, there's a certain level of tiredness that equates to insanity; for me it was when I'd like to temporarily dislocate my spirit from my body, as if I could ask the universe to take me out for just a short while, let mysoul go wherever souls go to be. I'm a fairlybrave person, I am, but sometimes I just didn't wanted to feel the process of recovery all over again. I knew I had to wake up feeling okay in the morning. I would, but it was simply a level of worn-out-ness that hurts. But I knew I wasn't tired physically. It was the mind a

Millions of things I could do, ran through my mind, but none of it seemed possible. I could call on the power of the dragon stone, but it didn't seem to work. I could run back towards the beast, and fight again, but it would kill me in the blink of an eye. I could also stay low in the corner there, but then again, I would still die."Come out you foolish girl!" My breathing for some reason, increased and started beating faster like I had just ran a million miles. Then I saw it. The ring that was covered in blackish blood still lying on the floor in the middle of the room, then I glanced up at his head and I still saw the glow that appeared on his head. My eyes returned back to the ring on the floor again and I instantly knew what I had to do. How could I had been that foolish?"You are so dumb right now, wait, what do they call you?" Distraction. He needed to be distracted, since pride was something I'd noticed he couldn't deal with proper

We continued in silence again through the umber-brown, ancient forest, reeking nothing but age. Its woody incense was from centuries of snapping branches crashing to the forest’s floor and rottingsilently. Every sprawling tree we passed under reminded me of a watchful guardian, a silent sentinel of the groves. Venturing deeper into the tangled heart of this primeval forest, raised my hopes that it would reveal its dark secrets to us. We would find Lilith, slay the devil, and everything would be back to normal. But I wondered, every since my life had been opened to darkness, what would ever become normal to me again? The only thing that brought a tip of light to my dark soul, was the thought of me finding my sister. Once I did, what then would happen?"Stop!" The voice of Fortem rubbed me off from my thinking, and I stopped."What is it?""I don't know, but I know that we are not alone. We're being-"
