CHAPTER X: Sorrows of Remembering the Past
CHAPTER X: Sorrows of Remembering the Past
“Hey, Sam, are you okay now? Tell us what was your dream about?” Caya asked after giving me a glass of water. I just stared at her.
“I just miss my life on Earth— my home, my job, my friends,” I reasoned out, faking a smile.
“That’s all?” Suzaine calmly interrogated. She seemed not convinced of what I have said. I just nodded.
“Caya, Suzaine, can you leave me alone for a while?” I asked them.
“Okay. But don’t hesitate to call us if you need somebody to talk with or if you need anything that you think we can do for you,” Caya uttered with a hint of worries in her voice.
“Yes. Thank you very much,” I just said.
Before they leave my room, Suzaine informed me. “Please take a rest. We have a training later at 8 a.m. We’ll just knock on your door later. It’s still 6 a.m. in

CHAPTER XI: The Opposition Between a Grace and a Curse“Good morning, Archmaster Leonard. Good morning, Archmistress Demia,” my friends greeted them after the training field has been established. Then, they all bowed as a sign of respect.I haven’t seen Archmistress Demia last night. I wonder where did she go. Anyway, that’s not my concern anymore."Why is Archmistress Demia with you, Archmaster?" Caya asked out of a sudden, with a hint of fear in her voice. What’s the matter with her?“Because she will be the one who will teach you on how to use your celestial weapons,” Archmaster replied, then, he smiled genuinely. I looked at Arcmistress Demia but she caught me looking at her so I averted my gaze immediately. She has not changed a bit. She’s still the Demia I’ve known in the Magic Ministry. She’s strict and cruel when it comes to training.“Well, this may be blunt but I want to st

CHAPTER XII: Taurus Versus GeminiI blinked my eyes several times as I stared at the white ceiling. Just by the scent of the room, I can tell that this is my room. I looked around and I wasn’t wrong. I suddenly rose up from my bed as I recalled what had happened. But, I sat on my head when I felt dizziness again. My head’s aching.I remembered the events. What did I just do? I'm sure I have hurt him. Without any hesitation, though, I still have a mild headache, I hurried out of my room and Caya was the first one I saw. She was sitting on the sofa.“Sam, it's good that you're awake. Are you alright now? How are you feeling?” she asked as soon as she saw me approaching her. She was too concerned about me and I can tell it on her facial countenance.“Where is Raid? How is he?” I asked worriedly.I want to check his condition right now but I don’t know where he is. Maybe in he's in the infirma
Black Zodiac: Demons and Deceptions CHAPTER XIII: Blood Pact
CHAPTER XIII: Blood PactCaya did not seem to be worried on how to deal with Deborah, right now. What was she planning to do? She aimed her bow at the sky and drew her light arrows on the golden light thread.“It’s not just you, Deb. I will surpass my limit, right here and right now. Celestial Realm Augmentation: Gemini’s Sanctuary!” Caya casted a spell using her grace, Gemini, and then fired several arrows into the sky.Suddenly, it rained gigantic light arrows and they formed a big circle surrounding Deborah’s Taurus. Caya’s spell detained the raging bull to prevent its rampage. Then, two small children materialized above sitting together on a cotton ball of clouds. Celestial Realm Augmentation? Wait, is it true? Caya can make her own realm now with her grace? Woah, that was amazing! But if I’m going to analyze it, her Celestial Realm is not yet fully-developed and still incomplete. She still needs more tra
Black Zodiac: Demons and Deceptions CHAPTER XIV: Terrified
CHAPTER XIV: Terrified“Dark Celestial Realm Augmentation: Graveyard of a Greedy Crab,” I seriously uttered, snapping my fingers to activate and expand my complete realm.Everything was suddenly enveloped by darkness and there were several black holes surrounding us, moving around like they will suck everything in this realm. But that will not happen unless I allow it to happen. Then, big tweezers of a crab with sharp fangs on edges came out from these black holes. They were enveloped with dark glowing light. Deborah’s Celestial Realm was shattered into pieces and vaporized into thin air. It was overpowered.“Show yourself, you filthy demon!” I and Mammon said in chorus. Our voices synchronized. I left Caya, Coazen and Angel in the Academy. I didn't allow them to enter in my realm. I’m going to save Deborah.The moment the demon came out from its haven, I hurriedly went to Deborah to catch her as she f

CHAPTER XV: Childhood Feelings“Princess Cerina, here it comes. Catch this if you can!” Nicanor shouted at me teasingly as if he’s underestimating my abilities to catch an ordinary ball. I am dreaming again. This is the scene where we were just young kids playing catch in the school quadrangle.“Go on! Do not— Ouch! That hurts,” I exclaimed when the ball that Nicanor threw at me just hit my face. That was too fast. And I was just talking to him when he suddenly threw the ball at me. He did not give a signal.He just laughed at me, including our other friends. Caya and Deborah teased me then, they chuckled. I snorted and let out a sigh from my mouth. I touched my cheek to heal the pain caused by the collision of the ball and my face. Wait, where’s that ball? I looked around and saw it in front of a young boy hugging his knees while sitting under the shade of the tree.He was always like this. He a

CHAPTER XVI: Garden of AriesThree days have been passed since when I was released from the infirmary. I’m still in the state of recovering but I opted to join the training today. I looked at the ring on my finger. It turned black when I formed blood pact with Mammon. But I restored its former color through casting a simple concealing spell upon it. I also did it to the mark of Cancer sign in my upper right arm since it turned black too.“Sam, what’s wrong?” Caya asked as she had noticed that I was spacing out.“Nothing,” I just answered shortly then smiled at her. I, Caya and Suzaine continued walking as we are heading to the assigned training arena today.Raid’s loud voice greeted us upon our arrival at the training ground. The man seems to be arguing with Marc again. What’s wrong with this guy? He’s too loud.“Hey, kid, didn’t I tell you not to let Poly in to our
Black Zodiac: Demons and Deceptions CHAPTER XVII: Implicit Confession of Feelings
CHAPTER XVII: Implicit Confession of FeelingsNicanor floated into the air above Glade. It appeared like they were up to something. What would it be? As far as I remember, Nicanor’s magic is Acid Magic and it is corrosive in nature.That’s way too dangerous when use in its maximum power. Nicanor moved his hand forward and pressed the air as if he can touch it. Glade, on the other hand, snapped his fingers and all the flowers around were aimed at Raid’s and Marc’s direction. They closed their petals and just left a small opening on their centers. “Combination Spell: Acid Paralysis!” Glade and Nicanor both shouted in chorus. A dark violet aura vaporized from the flowers and green liquids formed on their openings. Then, they abruptly assaulted Raid and Marc with beams of green and violet flashy light.Wait, that spell was too much. Were they really taking it seriously or were they just playing around? &r
Black Zodiac: Demons and Deceptions CHAPTER XVIII: The Punishment
CHAPTER XVIII: The PunishmentWe all just bowed as Archmaster Leonard scolded us, preaching us how should we behave as one of the chosen Celestial Twelve. This scenario was not new to me. When we were still kids, we were always scolded by him because we got involved into countless troubles.I caught Raid, Glade and the other boys among us hiding their laughters. They were not taking the sermon seriously. Nothing has changed to them. Instead of showing guilt, it looked like they made fun of Archmaster’s words. What a bunch of pain in the ass. I just rolled my eyes secretly and heave a silent breath.“I expected everyone of you to be a model to everyone here inside the Academy, but what were you doing? Instead of observing peace and order, you were the ones leading trouble here!” Archmaster continued as he walked from here to there repeatedly.“But, Archmaster—”“Don't butt in, Caya. I'm not asking for
