บททั้งหมดของ Mistakes of the Past: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

   The house was strangely quiet as I snuck out of my room. It had only been a couple of minutes since I heard the two men stomping away. Where they went was beyond me; I just wanted to get a drink and something sweet before returning to my new habit of being a recluse. My steps were light as I reached the halfway point in the living room. I paused and glanced around suspiciously. A glass of milk sat on the small table beside the couch along with the tv remote. I glanced at the channel that was on and frowned. It seemed to be a news station that was showing images of a developing fire. My stomach churned as I realized there were crucified people screaming in the midst of the flames. I quickly grabbed the remote and turned the TV off, the sight I saw earlier with Shobek ripping the monsters apart was already threatening my appetite. I sat the remote down and heard loud footsteps, I looked up and froze as a tall man emerged from the wall. His white hair fell in front

     The two figures flew for a couple of hours, the thin feminine body clutched tightly to the form of the gentlemen. Kasey's clothing did little against the cold wind. Had she known this would've happened, she wouldn't have worn some gym shorts and a tank top. The freezing cold air was leaving her shaking, clinging to the warmth she could get from Shobek. His wingbeats were getting slower, heavier.       "Almost there." His words were nearly stolen by the wind. Kasey simply nodded, her teeth chattering. Her eyes slowly looked ahead of them again, a strip of land finally becoming visible.      "W...Where are we g...going..?" Kasey looked up to meet Shobeks eyes, he gave a comforting smile; though worry exuded from every pore in his body.       "This land, much like the living world, is separated and split up between seven different rulers. But there are patches that no ruler has control ov

     The small room that they decided to be their meeting place seemed to grow smaller at each minute. The plain wooden walls and wooden ground clashed with his aura of nobility. But it was convenient and there was a small chance of anyone overhearing them. And if anyone just happened to hear anything, they could kill them without an outburst. But each second in this room made Pyro itch with annoyance. Everything was plain and wooden. From the tables and chairs to the cabinet and the "couch" with a few pillows. Maybe it was from his living style, but touching any surface, even with gloves on, made him want to scrub the skin off his fingertips.      After standing for at least forty-five minutes, Pyro finally watched as the black smoke approached him and started to take form, the figure straightened their scarf as their red eyes flicked up to meet his. A wide grin spread across the demon's face as their red eyes flickered.    &n

     Shobek closed the door to the inn, feeling rather confident that Kasey would be safe there. He slowly walked back up the path, walking past a few empty tents or ones where the Vendors were hiding under their table. Unsurprising. He let his wings reappear as he neared the newly arrived figure. Mammon turned to meet his eyes. He looked to be in his late thirties, his brown shoulder-length hair was tied in a messy bun behind his head. His face was covered with stubble. Shobek stopped roughly five feet away. His eyes looked over the two girls that stood to the side of Mammon. They were twins and both wore matching maid outfits. The only difference between the two was the fact that one had a small heart under her eye on the left cheek, and the other twin had the same design on the right cheek, and that one twin had their black hair had parted to the left, while the other had it parted to the right.      "Shobek! It has been a while. What br

     Kasey wasn't sure what kind of hell was awaiting them, but from looking up at the boat that was armored to the damn sails, she was sure it wasn't anything good.      "Are you sure that thing can float?" Kasey questioned Shobek, her eyes looking over the long sharp spikes that peeked out of the water.      "There are enchantments to keep it afloat." Shobek smiled as he watched Kasey look over the heavily armored ship they were to use. Mammon already talking to the captain who looked like he was ready to piss his pants.      "Why are they.... so... Spikey?" Kasey knotted her brows together and looked up at Shobek as she huddled closer to him when a strong salty breeze brushed past her.      "So any sea monsters that we pass will have a hard time ripping into the ship." Shobek slid an arm around Kasey as she frowned and eyed the wooden dock they stood on.&
