"You're lying." Even stated sternly.
Mayari stayed silent and continue to walk, ignoring him as she played deaf. Then she suddenly stopped when Evan tugged her wrist and faced her towards him.
"Tell me, Mayari, what did you saw?" Evan asked calmly.
"I saw nothing, your highness." Mayari replied.
She may look like she is telling the truth but Evan knew better. The way she looked at the river like she was looking for someone or something prove his point.
"I know you saw something."
"I don't know what you are talking about." Mayari coldly commented.
"Mayari... don't you trust me?" Evan's voice was laced with disappointment.
Mayari once again didn't reply and pulled her wrist away from Evan's grip, then she continued to walk away.
"I'll take that as a no." Evan mumbled but it was loud enough for Mayar
It was a bright morning as the sun continued to shine above the snowy forest of Yuver. It's golden ray brought illuminating light to the vast woodland of snow-coated trees where winter never leaves. The trees' upper frosty leaves glowed so ever white as the sunlight brush at their exposed surface like brilliant gems, sparkling before your eyes. But even though the sun god have emerged from his slumber, dark shadows are still found beneath the trees, rocks, and caverns where his warm and emitting luminosity never have the chance to shone upon those looming void of dusk. The day was fair with a strange comfortable silence lingering around the light atmosphere upon the terrain of the snowy forest. This was the day where Evan and Mayari decided to explore the other area of the mysterious yet beautiful woodland and try to find any clue or hint that will show them the way toward the exit so they could finally escape.
Mayari watch as the sky slowly shift to a dark shade of blue, the stars slowly peep out one by one in the darkness and the faint crescent moon slowly appeared in the sky. It was quiet and relaxing as the night came again in the forest but Mayari can't let her guard down yet. Then suddenly, Evan came out of the trees and frantically run towards her, every step he took are heavy and loud against the snow, that caught Mayari's attention making her avert her gaze towards him. He is holding his stomach in pain and that didn't tooked Mayari seconds to know that he's injured. Mayari run towards him, halfway they meet, and Evan's knees fell down to the snow as Mayari reach him. "What happened?" Mayari calm tone asked as she bend down to him. "The spirits attack once again, they are very powerful and dangerous." Evan replied. Noticing Mayari has no respond, he quickly grabbed her left arm and pull her up to a stand. "We don'
From a window, a light suddenly flash through in the middle of the night as a luminescent beam pass by the curtains dimly but enough to be notice by a certain little girl.The light came from outside, followed with a loud sound of a familiar vehicle that stirred the girl from her sleep. The engine noise lingered for a couple of seconds before finally dying out. But by then little Mayari had already woke up."That must be mommy..." She lazily mumbled, rubbing her eyes from sleepiness and yawning after.Her father was away in that time for a business trip, he won't be back until next week so that left Mayari and her mother in the house.Her mother already mentioned that she will be home late and she doesn't need to wait for her but Mayari have a sweet habit to always greet her parents when they got home.So she rose out of bed, slip into her pink bunny slippers and walk towards her
"It's not the time to rest yet." A stern voice cut through the sullen silence like a sharp blade. Mayari opened her eyes upon hearing the cold stone remark, and immediately shifted her gaze from the leafless branch of the dead tree, that painted the gray sky, to the figure standing just a feet away. Her back is facing Mayari and her crimson dress softly waved to her side as the wind gently blew the red fabric. A few loose strands of her moonlit hair also swayed back and forth from the wind, while her deep ruby irises is glued to the lifeless lake ahead. "Go back." She bluntly said, "Who knows what will happen to you if it stayed in this vulnerable state for too long." By this time, Mayari's stood up and started approaching her subconscious self. Her subconscious heard her incoming footsteps, along with the crisp noises of dead grasses being step upon. Mayari stop just b
The two melody of different blades clashing together are ringing unendingly in the tense atmosphere of the night, in the cold forest of snow. Evan and the spirit boy fiercely weild their swords and magic, wanting to eliminate their enemy as quickly as possible, but it is easier said than done. Both foes continuously fought, and are aiming for victory. Burns, frostbites, scrapes, bruises, and bleeding wounds littered their skins but still they continue to battle as the adrenaline rushing through their veins fueled them the energy that is enough to keep them going. "Is that all you've got?" the boy provoked as he raise his scimitar and slash it at Evan. Evan quickly dodged and wave his hand to create a fierce swirling inferno that melted the snow above the ground, and set fire to the nearby trees. The boy jumped backward to keep a distance from the bursting flames, that's
"T-the p-prophecy of our beloved forest's f-fall..." the servant finally spoke, "has begun!"Yuvera instantly stood up from her flowery throne with wide eyes. Still in the state of shock and fear, she then ask the servant for confirmation."Are you certain?" Came her melodic voice that is being mix with terror."W-we are certain, your majesty." The servant answered. "The oracle have already confirmed that the 'Mistress of Destruction' have already stepped foot to our f-forest.""Don't tell me...""Y-yes, my Goddess." The servant stuttered. "The girl whom named Mayari is the one who will upbring our e-end.""Long hair that is as dark as the starless night, sun-kissed skin that glow under the sun's warm ray, and dark brown eyes that is as cold as ice and as deep as a neverending abyss that will swallow the moon's light." The servant told."
The sound of the of the rushing cold river echoed throughout the nearby surrounding as it continued to deliver its strong yet gentle current down its endless stream. Then the river was suddenly mixed with a light tint of red. Evan shudder at the feeling of his skin coming in contact with the icy water, freshly taken from the coursing river in front of him. Even so, he beared with it, his wounds are not bleeding anymore but he needs to clean it to prevent infection, along with the dried trace of blood that is sticking uncomfortably in his skin. At the same time, Mayari was looking for firewoods nearby. Light rain of snow covered the sky with clouds and snowflakes as Mayari ignored the pain in her back and neatly stack the pile of woods under a tree with lush white leaves. Evan said he would take care of the fire so she didn’t bother to try and rub a stick that will take her ages due to the cold. Instead, she went to the river to try and catch some fish. Only t
“Can you freeze this river, Mayari?” Evan asked as he gazed to the other side of the watercourse.They have been travelling south since dawn and the rain of snow continued to descend above them, bringing more cold to the icy breeze. Regardless, Mayari and Evan resumed their travel to find an exit. They know they are not safe anywhere in this curse forest.Without a word of answer, Mayari step closer to the rushing river and crouched as she took off her one of her gloves and placed her palm to the cold water, freezing it solid to make a bridge for them to pass through to the other side.“Done.” Mayari bluntly informed as she stood up.Evan was the first one to take a step on the ice, tapping his feet several times on the platform with force, to make sure that the bridge is hard enough for both of them to step on.After taking a few cautious steps in the ice, he then extended his hand towards Mayari, who only stared at him wit
