"Who is the stupid creature you are referring to?" said someone on my side which startled me. I immediately turned to face him, backing away as he approached."What are you doing here?" I asked quickly, my forehead furrowed, not believing his presence.He grinned and shrugged. "I told you before, did I not?" He came even closer so I backed away again. "Do you want me to take care of the stupid creature you are referring to?" he added, looking like he is planning something bad now.I forgot that he was a cruel one. He can hurt any creature he wants. I was the only young lady he could never beat, the one who knocked him down with just one punch.I grunted and sat down in front of the lake again. "Do not interfere, I will take care of hi

My heart beat faster. Maybe it is because I am nervous? Doubt? Anxiety? Excitement? I do not know! I could hear almost nothing but the beating of my stupid heart.Many questions entered my mind. What is he doing here? Why is he here? Am I the reason why he is here? How did he find me? And what were those things he carried? Does he work here in the market?"Aliara," Casias called as he tapped me on the shoulder so I seemed to wake up in a dream. I turned to him feeling at a loss, unable to speak. "Are you alright? Rowan has been talking to you before but you seem so out of it."I shook my head and turned back to what I had been looking at before. Sevasti was still there but was already in a store, talking to the salesman there. When he turned to me I immediately averted my eyes, surpris

I SLOWLY opened my eyes. If I had not seen Sevasti sleeping soundly next to me and hugging me, I would have thought that I had just dreamt of what had happened. A strange dream.I do not know how it will feel now that I am slowly coming to my senses with what I did. I close my eyes again as I remember how many times I called Sevasti's name in a loud and pleading voice.How is it now? What am I going to do?I want to laugh at myself. You are really a fool! You were carried away again in a rush of emotion.Yet, I have no regrets. I also wanted to give myself to this man because I loved him so much.I looked up and blew softly. I looked at the lamp on the little table here in my home, it was already lit. It was the only one that gave light to the dark surroundings. That is when I realized it was night.I heaved a sigh again and gently removed Sevasti's hand that was resting on my waist, not making any noise so I would not wake him up. I left hi

I nodded and stomped on his foot. His jaws clenched and we applied more strength to our swords, still stuck to the air. I quickly backed away and struck the sword I was holding on his stomach but he immediately dodged so it just touched his clothes.He gripped his sword tightly and successively rushed at me but I avoided everything as he continued to retreat. When he stopped, I turned around and rushed first, with each strike of my sword he shielded it with his weapon. However, I hit him several times with my arm and hand. But because he was strong he was not shaken by those measly attacks.Annoyed, I blew a massive puff of air when he kicked me on the side, I backed away and stopped. My eyes were firm as I turned to him. I was ready to rush again but I stopped when an arrow hit my arm causing me to release the sword I had in my grip.My mouth stopped at the pain I felt here. I did not notice it coming! However I no longer paid attention to it when Favier rushed

We now face the creatures who were watching. The reactions they show vary but curiosity prevails. I closely watched them as the soldiers adjusted the rope at my height. That only faded when I heard Vivi’s loud whistling in the air. He circled the creatures in front of us before approaching them. He did not stop flying, but his eyes were focused on me.A soldier pulled me up again to attach the rope to my neck, I just let him do that, still looking at Vivi. Earlier, he had been quiet all the way down as he followed us and I know he was sad now as he witnessed my fate. Her chirps seemed to be crying as I heard it so I also felt sad. I will leave him. It was just now that  thought crossed my mind. That I will be leaving him.I smiled at him to convey that it was all right. That he did not have to cry and be sad. I know he can do everything without me. She can find a new friend to love and take care of him like I did. Otherwise, he will join other birds and live
