Shadows lingered from every dark corners of the stone walls as Mayari and Helen, along with Sir Eyron, the warden, descended in the dimly lit stairway that leads to the underground dungeon.Instead of flaming torches, blue glowing crystals are attached against the rough walls. And it have identical symbols engrave in its smooth surface. Along the way, it gives a faint glow that is enough to light up the path but not to chase away the lingering darkness.Their footsteps continued to echo in the surrounding as their shoes repeatedly collide to the hard pavement of the stairs that seems to go on with no end, making Mayari wonder of how deep is this dungeon."If you wouldn't mind, may I ask you something personal, Ms. Revinyr?" Sir Eyron broke the silence that accompanied their descend."Please address me with my given name." Helen politely insisted. "My family name is too formal for my liking and as for your question, it depends.""Well then, Ms. Helen." He cleared his throat. "You are a
"No." Mayari instantly replied."Is there anyway that I could change your mind?" Jim tried to persuade."No.""Do you need to think about it?""No.""Is there any chance I could change your mind?""My decision is final." Mayari uttered."Bummer." Jim sighed. "I guess you don't need my skills and connections to easily find the mastermind.""Anyway, that's all the information I have and that's all there is to it." He said. "So farewell, May."With that, Mayari left the room and was met with Helen and Sir Eyron. Mayari immediately informed them what Jim told her leaving out the detail of the elf's proposal.If only Jim and Mayari's situation are different, she could have accepted his offer since she rely on information before making a move.She could do her own findings but that will be her main struggle and will also take longer time due to the fact that she have no connections and have limited knowledge in the current realm she is in.She could ask her teacher, Ms. Helen, about the Ars
Mayari silently watch the snow heavily pouring outside through the glass window across the room. The snow storm only worsen as time goes on so she and Helen were forced to stay in the Sirens Keep for the night.The screeching of the wind and the loud tapping of the descending snow in the glass window provided no comfort for Mayari. She couldn't sleep no matter how she tried to rest. In contrary to Helen, who is sleeping soundly on the other bed.While lying on the soft mattress, Mayari kept on gazing to the window as the harsh storm continued to swirl beyond the wall that sheltered her from its fury.Time was slow but after hours of staring into nothing, the storm finally calmed down, leaving only the gentle snow rain that brought tranquility in the late of night.It was the perfect time to fall asleep. However, Mayari's eyes instantly darted towards the large mirror of the room when she suddenly saw a shadow's reflection passed by with insane speed.It was strange...The mirror is f
"You said that the passage has been there for decades." Mayari stated. "Do you know of its origin?""You're curious," Aria commented. "Its origin is deeply connected to the true tale of the 'Jealous siren of Thee'.""Mer Adrienne.""Yes." Aria nodded. "The fallen princess didn't kill her sister's betrothed out of jealousy, rather, she killed him because she discovered that he will poison the crown princess after ascending the throne.""Kings and Queens, even though they rule side by side there is no denying that the King have more political power than the Queen." Aria pointed out, "However, in Myrim, the Queen have more power both in spiritual and in ruling than the King.""But if ever, a misfortune struck the Queen. The Kings will take her place." The dragon informed. "The groom have great greed for power hidden in the facade of a righteous and noble bearing.""Mer knew of the merman's ugliness and try to convince her parents to choose another candidate but her plead wasn't heard, an
Time pass by in silence between the two, Evan eventually felt the heat returning to his once freezing body and his temperature was restored to normal.While still waiting, the prince then felt Mayari's arms loosen its grip and the weight of her head, lying in the back of his shoulder.'Did she fell asleep?' Evan asked himself.With the slightest movement, Mayari's limp body suddenly slid down from his back and almost hit the cold floor. Fortunately, he caught her in time.He held her sleeping form in his arms and shifted her in a more comfortable position while trying his best not to wake her up."This is a first," Evan mumbled to himself. "I never thought that you would trust me enough to fall asleep by my side, Mayari."Evan gently brushed away the strands of raven hair in her face, then fixed the coat to cover her body and keep her warm."You never once lowered your guard when you are with anyone. I, too, have no exception.""You must have been tired."Seeing her peacefully sleepin
The abyssal darkness stretch to the horizon in the not so dark night, overheading the busy street of the city. The shadows ate up all the stars that suppose to twinkle above and left a neverending loop of darkness in the position that they once have shined.But their is one brightness that they couldn't swallow, a silver orb of beauty and mystery that lingered throughout the darkness with it's fullest light. We called her the moon and she shined brighter than a thousand stars.Then below the night city sky, is a crowded bar of flickering rainbows and discos. There came out a wealthy man with a beautiful lady in spotlight. The man have two buff bodyguards by his side and is approaching his white shiny limousine of luxury.The man smiled and laughed along with the enchantress lady dangling by his shoulder like a precious accessory. Unfortunately, Neither of them knows that this is their last glee and the rest will be fear.Just not far away, a high building
Mayari woke up as the sun's ray pass through her window in complete blinding brightness shouting to her to get up.Hearing the clock tick she couldn't afford to miss her flight. She then went out of bed and went to the bathroom to do her morning routine.After breakfast, she then took all of her luggage and head to the parking lot to find her car.As she walk, she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket, she push her hand deep to the opening and grab it.But a woman, in a hurry, accidentally bump Mayari, causing her to accidentally let go of her phone. The phone then instantly got pulled by the gravity and smash to the floor."Oh my, I'm sorry dear." The woman then grabbed her phone and dusted it by her hand.The woman is in her 30's and holds an elegant mother-like beauty. She have dark chestnut hair cascading down her shoulders in big curls, and fair peachy skin with blue bright eyes that display her positive personality.She gave the
Mayari took a breath before she twitch the knob and open the door. She finally entered Adolf's office and close the door behind."What do you want, Mayari?" Adolf asked while looking at his big glass window as he holds a glass of wine and suck a cigarette.Mayari took a step closer."I want to quit the organization" Mayari goes straight to the point.Then in anger her father immediately face her and throw the glass of wine towards her. Mayari can easily dodge it, but she didn't instead she received it, she knows it will only make her father more angrier if she dodge.The glass shattered in Mayari's head, scarlet blood then drip after but she didn't mind it, like nothing happened."Remember this Mayari, you can only leave the organization if you have left this world! Therefore, you can never leave unless you die!" Adolf loudly said enrage, "Understood!?""Yes, Father..." she replied.She then turned with her heels and walk to th
