King MalikKingdom of Howard“That stubborn, arrogant shithead!” Malik roared, slamming down his fists in the table. The other Ecanus that had gathered around him flinched at the king’s recently shortened temper. They had tried to contact the missing prince but he just would not answer their telekinetic calls. “That idiot…” the king continued, exasperated at the mess that his younger son had left the kingdom in. “If he only had self-control, if he could have practiced a bit more of patience and majesty, the kingdom would not be in this awful situation.”“Deity Flora” Malik said calmly, the oracle was standing by, watching them with serene eyes. “What should I do…?” his voice sounded weak and pathetic, as if the past few weeks had drained him of all his resolve.“In order for things to go as foreseen” the deity told him quietly, her eyes showed no pity or remorse at the king’s sorry state, “I must not interfere. I would give you my apologies, King Malik but it seems at the moment, I w

VidaOutside Burn’s, New York CityIt had been a tiring shift, but work was over nonetheless. Vida and Tessa walked out of Burn’s, their tiredness showing on their faces but they were smiling because they finally had free time. But Colter had been missing for a while now, he had left work earlier to do something and Peter just smiled and let him do so because he was bringing in more customers than ever.“Where’d the gorgeous, homeless man go?” Tessa asked Vida as they walked towards the bus stop, Vida frowned at Tessa’s comments and smacked her in the arm.“He has a name you know!” she said protectively and Tessa rolled her eyes.“Alright, alright, where did Colter the gorgeous, homeless man go? He doesn’t even have a phone or any kind of device that we can reach him with.” “He said he was going to do something” Vida pouted with a shrug, already missing Colter’s warming presence around her.“Well, hopefully he comes around soon and he’s not passed out at another busy street” Tessa jo

ELOISAPrunee, Kingdom of HowardEloisa could not stop thinking about Gian. Despite June's words of warning, the prince was affecting her in an unhealthy way. She could not eat nor sleep and she would be staring off into space most of the time.The prince had consumed her entire being. With how things ended the last time they were together, Eloisa could not accept how they parted ways. Especially how Gian discarded her like a used napkin.It is true that Gian was a notorious ladies' man. The Duchess had been standing for quite some time in front of Pruneé. She hesitated to go inside because Gian might not be there. But she had a strong feeling that he would be there."Here goes nothing," she gave out a breath she did not know she was holding and entered the bar.Pruneé was crowded with patrons tonight. Conversations carried over one another and the room was filled with a light hazy smoke of tobacco. But she had no trouble finding Gian among the crowd. He was sitting alone on one of t

AquilaVikalyn, Kingdom of HowardIt had taken them quite some time, the irritation built and their anger soared as they tried to look for the magical rabbit that Samuel had told Aquila. Their purpose was to serve king Dyron, but in this instance, they were only being detrimental as they were unable to move forward.They had no new leads, they were wandering blindly in a forest looking for a pest of a creature that does not seem to exist and they were hungry. They had all transformed themselves into Ecanus once more in order to fool anyone who might have spotted them. But their leader Aquila, the one who had managed to seduce and extract information from Samuel the sinner, smashed his fist against a tree’s trunk in anger as they still had no new leads.“Fucking hell!” he roared while his subordinates stared at him in fear and wonder, “The king of darkness will have our heads should we fail!”The fear of doing Dyron wrong hang heavily over their heads, they had wanted to please the ki

VidaVida's Apartment, New York City"Please, please, make it work."Vida peeked through the glass doors of the microwave and watched the ceramic container spinning around.That night, Vida decided to cook lasagna for Colter. She found a recipe on Pinterest that required no oven and wanted to try it out. She just hoped that it would look and taste the same as what was promised in the pin.As she waited for the lasagna to cook, she went to the bathroom to freshen herself up. She took her time brushing her hair. Her brush had never seen the light of day. She always finger-combed her hair, because why the hell not?But after being asked on a date by Colter, she opted to start using her brush in an effort to tame her locks.Speaking of the date, Vida shuddered at the thought of it being a bit of a flop. She still thought about what went wrong. Everything was going fine until that almost kiss.Did I do something wrong? Vida thought. Maybe he got turned off by her unkempt hair. It was a pre
