Underworld realmLothaire's DemesnePalace•PHAELIN• Days have passed since the last time I had a word with Lothaire. The castle seemed dull for he was nowhere to be found. I dine alone. Quite a few times, the servants would join me if I ask them. Nevertheless, they would not. I am able to hear him enter his chamber during nightfall. However, every time I give a knock on his door and try to come inside, he is not present in his room. It was strange. The thought that he was avoiding me intrudes my inner peace. I admit that each morning felt like an old cup of tea waiting to be drained away—somber and agonizing. I spent the week roving around the realm. Eikesier would be with me at each moment. Wherever I go, albeit I did not call for the watchdog, he would always come and appear all of a sudden. I had the chance to interact with the denizens of the underworld. I helped the shades push the vegetation of the individuals upward in the land

"I reckon you have heard the news.” “Indeed,” I confirmed as I took off my helm, “We need to act immediately.” Lorcan and Dyani came forth and they walked briskly towards our direction. “The warriors in Sahale have been preparing for battle,” the goddess of wisdom and knowledge stated. “Did you send any demi-god?” Arwald tried to confirm. “Not at all,” Naeitha answered. “We should not put their lives in peril,” I said. “Apophis will be heading to the southern garrison,” Caliban said. “Therefore, we should start a chase on the Apophians before they reach the stronghold,” Lorcan suggested as he gritted his teeth. “I agree,” Daciana answered. “Dyani and I will take charge of the skies,” Denali proposed. “Indeed,” Naeitha uttered, “We ne

I looked at the balcony of the palace as the denizens of the underworld prepared their finest wardrobe. I told them offerings were unnecessary for their presence were more valuable to me.           I went back inside as I heard Lothaire having a word with Azael. He met my gaze as I went close to him. Delight filled his face as he acknowledged my presence. The servant bowed and left.           “Custard Apple…” I uttered as I saw a platter of Cherimoya. It granted my nose a sweet scent and taste of vanilla.           “The fruit is intended for the ceremony, my lady,” he replied.           “I

I let out a sigh of relief. "We are now granting you the gift of immortality and eternal youth,” Bryndis said as she offered the glass of Elixir.             My little flower took a sip from the glass and a haze of glistening light surrounded her entirety. She tightened her grip on my hand. It persisted for a while before it faded and her appearance glowed in my eyes. She breathed heavily as she met my gaze.             The servants offered the Alkuhsia poured in a wineglass as Bryndis u

By means of my finger, I smudged the quantity of darkness in the folds that surrounded his mouth. I smoothened and rendered the portraiture. It has been three consecutive days from the first time I testified souls in trial and the judges declared I already mastered it. I sat on the bed whilst I waited for him here in our chamber. I received a sudden knock on the door. I ceased what I was doing and spoke, “You may enter.” I tried to look at who it was. Lothaire came inside holding a piece of scroll and he closed the door. His helm was on his left hand and he placed it on the bedside table. “My love…” he greeted, “I apologize that I kept you waiting.” “I do not mind,” I told him as I hid the illustration behind my back. He noticed what I did and he let out a sm
