“No!” Victoria shouted in anger as the slurry dripped down from her cheeks. She then glared at Prisca with all her remaining strength.
Bisi chuckled despite feeling pity for the other girls. She could remember doing something similar to Ginika, back in the village.
Even though this was a bit to the extreme, she couldn’t help the laughter that was building inside her. She just could not stop laughing. It was always fun to see the strong dominate the weak. ‘Am I getting sick and twisted?’ She thought to herself curiously.
“Will you stay here and laugh all day?” Olivia suddenly asked while looking at her
Zita stared to the distance, looking over the kingdoms whose people stretch out the horizon like a carpet on the floor. The sun was just retiring, but its splendor could be seen as they grace the earth with their warm smile. She could see the people on the beach, blowing their regards and well wishes to the ship, which had started its course on the blue world.It was hard to keep her mind from wandering, since she knew that Abigail was somewhere in that ship. She had risked her life just to give her a better and more comfortable one. Who could have thought that she, Zita, would one day be in a castle as mighty
Even though her voice was soft and motherly, Zita could sense every indignation on them. Zita asked as she tried to calm herself down, “What… What orders?”“The guards are to kill her on sight.” The Queen replied while looking at her with an unreadable expression. It was like a bomb that dropped to her head. Zita felt like she was about to pass out. “But that is inhuman! What if she is innocent?” She insisted. The Queen’s jewelries jingled from end to end as she shook her head. She has woven her blond hair into a beehive and the way she held her head. It was as i
Abigail jumped from where she had been sleeping, hugging herself to keep down the cold that had suddenly clothed her body. White lights flooded into the hallway, and she held out her hands to keep away the bright light as her gaze went to the door. Her eyes hurt despite the shadows her hands created.“Wakey-Wakey.” The voice of the woman standing on the leading stairs called. Abigail frowned when she saw the bucket in her hands. She must be in her early twenties or so, but the smile that plastered her young face made Abigail wish she could use the bucket and slam the air out of her pointed nose.&ldq
“What?” Abagail and the others exclaimed. It all happened fast, before she could even register what was happening, some white Vesslers came out from where they must have been hiding and strapped their hands on their back, tying it firmly.“Wait! This is so reckless! You are putting someone’s life in danger!” Abigail yelled, trying to make them see some sense. It seems not to work as she was ignored, and the Vesslers continued to tie her up and then quickly dragged her to the edge. “Please don&r
With the many hairs that covered her face, he couldn’t make out the features clearly. It did not matter anymore since he already jumped to save her. Ginika used one hand to keep them afloat as he tried to swim as much as he can. His other hand held the girl, but that in itself was difficult because the girl’s weight was like that of an elephant. For a girl her size, she weighed three times any average human being. He scanned his environment, hoping to find something that would help him in this diverse situation, but the ocean did not offer any. If for anything, the sun which should have broken out
A gentle sea wind blew into the room, but it seemed to concentrate where Vera and the girl was. Vera’s eyes had turned yellow, and her hands were stretched out on the face of the unconscious girl. Droplets of water came out from the girl’s body, suspending around Vera, like air bubbles. Ginika licked his lips, not knowing that he had been looking at the woman with a wide mouth. He had never seen any power like this before. Even though the Three Kingdoms have healers that are water mage, he had not seen any of them perform this type of art before. This was so unique and awesome.Ginika stared at Vera in fascination, and he was so focused on her that he did not notice his own ha
Her velvet cloths no longer wrapped her body and her dark hair, danced loosely with the gentle air of the sea.“It is not a massacre.” She shouted at someone outside, “It is a training for crying loud!” It was the first time Ginika saw her like this, angry. Someone was also yelling outside, but Ginika could not understand what he or she was saying.“Please do,” Vera said after the yelling voice stopped, “Cause the next time this happens, hell will rain its fire on whoever is responsible.”The hinge of the door shook when she finally stepped into the cabin and slamme
The procession was small now. The only people that were allowed into this part of the Pyre was the King’s most trusted men and family. The stones looked as if it could contain the entire people in the city, but as tradition forbade everyone from coming to see the King’s birth, so it also restricts them from coming in his death.The darkness cleared, and the stone lighted up with the light of many touches that hung on the wall.The men halt the procession, and Gilman, the King’s horn, walked up the stairs and stood over a pyre that had been built like a small canoe. He nodded to the four men, and they walked up to the stairs, placing the King’s body, into the Pyre.&l
