Niv Masks Novels & Stories

“Some people just don’t know how good they have it. Don’t pay him any mind!” Astel took the opportunity to wrap his arms around Ilma’s waist. “Then, you’d better make it up to me.” “Okay, okay. I’ll make it up to you!” As they spoke, their eyes began to grow dreamy. They completely ignored my presence. I cleared my throat. Only then did the two of them stop. Ilma said impatiently, “Gareth, what’s the meaning of this? It’s just a gas mask, isn’t it? Do you have to lie about saving someone on Mounscour Hill? You’ll stop at nothing to make things difficult for Astel!”

This mask must have some special features or functions. Nick chuckled and looked around. Then he picked up the mask and put it on. The crowd suddenly became restless, because Nick turned into a different person after he put the mask on. Nick took off the mask and said with a smile, "Everyone, this is a Yin and Yang Ghost Mask. I don't need to tell you what it can do, right? The reserve price is three thousand pieces of Fire Spinel, and the minimum bid increment is one hundred pieces of Fire Spinel."

Nathan kissed her on the forehead. Currently, Hilda looked really miserable with all the bruises on her face. Furthermore, she even had some bones broken and a concussion, but he still smiled mysteriously as he replied, "You have been idolizing movie stars for such a long time now, so haven't you heard of silicone masks in the entertainment industry before?" Silicone masks? "Uh... is the film mask thing real?" Nathan nodded. "Yeah, l have been feeling quite lazy as of late, so I asked my team to create several film masks as standby for some events that needed my attendance. They found a substitute to wear the mask and take my place during other minor events for the past few days."

"Do I really have to wear this?" Ivy asked, staring at the mask in her hand—a sleek piece made of deep black velvet, its shape narrowing at the corners to elegantly frame her features. There were no gaudy feathers, no over-the-top embellishments. Just a single satin ribbon meant to be tied at the back. Simple, but striking in its elegance. Mysterious. Alluring. “Does everyone have to wear masks to a MaC banquet?” Ivy raised one brow, glancing at Josh, who sat beside her, perfectly relaxed in the backseat of the car.

I asked Nellie, when I noticed she kept taking peeks behind us as we walked. “The masks.” She pointed out one of the shop that sold moon themed masks. Some of them could barely even be called masks since they covered only the area around the eye and pretty much nothing else. “Haven’t you noticed we’re kind of the only ones here not wearing any? We’re standing out a bit.” I looked around, at the multitude of people who were either enjoying the sights like us, or browsing various shops. They all had masks on. “You’re right.” I said. “Let’s go check them out.”

RODWARTEM “What?” surprised, I asked Guenzo as I did not hear what he said. Guenzo sighed. “I said the Queen is looking at you but you are not reacting. Hayys, where did your mind wandered just now?” “Damn,” I cursed as I averted my gaze toward the Queen who was as usual was wearing her ivory mask, who was indeed looking at me. A smile started to form my lips as I bowed with gallantness. In my mind, I was wondering what kind of a face the Queen had inside that ivory mask. Although I was sure she was beautiful. Her lips alone that was uncovered was already that inviting.

Nora stopped and hit the wall. “You're right,” Alvin replied. “We should go to a hotel, then. Fortunately, I have my debit card in my pocket.“ Nora nodded her reply, her gaze looking uncertain and anxious. “We still have the problem of your face, though. I'm sure as hell not going to allow you to do what you suggested some minutes ago.“ “Damn!“ Alvin cursed. “Is there a way I can get a mask here?“ Nora stared at him like she was thinking about something. She opened her bag and shuffled round the corners before bringing out a tiny doctor's nose mask—big enough to cover from his nose to chin.

She slapped Penny on the back of her head and pointed at the pigeon head mask she was wearing. "Oh, my bad! I literally forgot." Penny flashed a nervous goofy grin. "But isn't it a good way to keep our identities hidden? The head masks are giving us freedom of mobility. We don't have to worry about cameras or curious passersby who may take a photo of us and post it online."

They reached Manik's car and he opened the door on her side and waited for her to be seated first before he went around to his side. As Manik reversed out of their parking spot, Nandini looked out the window and spotted a man standing a few parking spots away. He was dawdling aimlessly in one spot and not making his way to any car in particular. He was dressed in a gray hoodie and very wide pants. The hood was pulled over his head very low and he also appeared to be wearing one of those blue face masks, so Nandini didn't see his face. “Some people are still wearing face masks? Must have OCD.” Nandini frowned as it was a rare sight these days.
