Myth of The Broken Throne のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Astraea's POV It was already evening when I came back from Zeus's place. On the way back Roman didn't speak much about Zeus's father. But safe to say that seeing their expressions, I could assume that the man kept both the boys on their toes. And knowing them, it was a huge deal. Two hours later, Mom and Dad were back from their date. Their cute little banter took my mind from wandering back to today's event. However coming back to the comfort space of my room, the memories gushed back in. The Zeus I saw today was someone new but still, it felt like I have just seen the glimpse of him I have known all along. This pull was an earning coming from the deepest corners of my heart, one which has never been shined upon. A part of me I never realized I had. I sighed. These things only make my head hurt. I took a book off my table and fell back on the bed. Opening the book, I turned to the page where I left and started reading it. ~*~ The Cerulean clan and The Royals became the epitome o

Astraea's POV It has been a week since I have seen both Roman and Zeus. Not gonna lie the curiosity has eaten me up alive. Maybe it's related to Zeus's Dad. Opening my locker, a little card fell down. I sighed. This has been going on for the past few days. "A new love letter." Miranda chirped beside me. I flinched. "Where the hell did you come from ?" "That is not important. Come on open it." I looked at her and narrowed my eyes."What ?"I gave her one of my stinky eyes look. "You don't want to open it in front of me ?" She said "Why are you so excited Miranda ?" "Oh come on, it's not every day your friend gets cute love confessions." "Well, I do get it every day." "Yes we know, but open it will ya ?" Emily said suddenly appearing beside me. I reluctantly opened the letter as both of them literally pushed their heads inside my locker to read it. "Love ceases to be a pleasure when it ceases to be a secret."Maybe this is why I want to be your secret and admire you from afa

Astraea's POV The evening sun hid under the bright clouds. The darkness of the night enclosed the view of my window. It was already midnight and sleep was still the last thing on my mind. The portrait in my hands shines under the bright moonlight. The mystery hidden under the disguise of this painted warrior was messing with every part of my head. The search for the truth always ended with a dead end. I knew that somehow there was a connection with all these unexplainable happenings. But the source was concealed under the cloak of a cryptic enigma. But I can't just sit and admire the moonlight while thinking about the circumstance being woven into a mess. There wasn't a single part of my life except for my parents and Emily, who were normal. But how long will they stay apart? Who will assure me that they won't somehow get entangled in the mess? No, I really can't wait for the riddle to get solved. I had to do something, even if it meant knocking on every dead end. I took a blu

Astraea's POV The cold increased near my neck like invisible frost-lapped hands were choking me. I yelped in pain and immediately shut my mouth with my hands. If Zeus or the girl saw me in this state, I really won't know how to explain them. Pulling myself together, I stumbled down the corridor. The biting icy feeling was slowly spreading throughout my body and paralyzing me. Yet, I walked and dragged myself till the huge door of the old library came into view. The university was almost empty and students don't use this library much. Hence, no one is going to be here. I pushed open the huge oak door, and the light of the corridor dived through the little opening into the cold, dark room. I collapsed near the bench. Taking deep breaths I tried to calm my heart.Essence is the part of the soul. I remembered.If the words are true and not a myth, if these blue flames are truly part of what I believe they were, then I am bound to control them. I have to. For a moment, I tried to forg

Astraea's POV Coffee silently kept on eating. I scratched a little on his head, even though he was a goofball, I shouldn't forget that he is still wild. "Coffee, Did you ?" He looked at me once and barked. Right he can't understand you Astraea. Eating up his whole meal, the wolf howled loudly making me flinch. I took a few steps back when Coffee suddenly ran back into the forest. "I wasn't done yet." I murmured, following him. He was fast, abnormally fast, With my human legs, it was impossible to follow him. But I didn't stop. The rustling of leaves and the prints helped me track Coffee. I almost reached deep within the forest when the prints stopped. Where did he go? I looked around, Coffee wasn't there. Instead, there was a cave hidden between two huge trunks of trees. It was small compared to the size of Coffee, but it wouldn't be a loss if I do a little snooping. Nonetheless, I carefully looked inside the cave. It was dark, and few leaves were spread here and there. I p
