“THE Community building?” Iva whispered, It was the symbol she had copied off the tapestry back when they found Fab. The tapestries represented the four parts of the Court and the songs were a telltale of the power division, her father had sang the exact same thing in a tale she couldn’t quite remember, It was a song every Court member knew, her father had once being to the Court so she assumed he had learnt it there. The curious eyes of the two staring at her in awe made her embarrassed to reveal. Pinching her pinna she smiled. “My dad sang it for me sometime ago, he has been to the Court before… Lake Riegel?” She took her eye up at the Guereza, He looked long in years and she wondered If he had any knowledge of her father. “Never heard of him” the monkey set the hot bowls down while sending a anvil of disappointment over her hopes and She plunked down on the pillow Sede had set.“How long did your dad stay in the Court?” Sede stared at his bowl curiously, there were varied ingredie
‘IVA…’ Uhki tried as she stared captivated by the sight. Sede took his colorless eyes to view the frame, he sat cross legged in their midst, completely unaware of what was going on. The Detective clenched her fist, It was a little island picture with an old note attached to it, the sides of the note were burnt and the stain of old blood sprayed across the letters. She gaped at it, she couldn’t take her eyes off the frame as she read the scribbled words in black soot. “It used to be beautiful?” She called out the words and looked to the monkey, “That is a word of a man that had been deceived”. He informed her and it only made her confused on what he was talking about. She grabbed at her pounding heart as it became difficult to breathe. She didn’t want to agree with her thoughts, The Guereza was probably trying to get her. She was so much bothered by the blood stained notes, she staggered back on her heel. “This note…” she started as she swallowed hard, “Back when I worked with the East
IVA placed her Jacket over Sede as he curled by some files. She looked at his face, fast asleep and his humanoid ear occasionally twitched at the sound of their voices. “There is I’m afraid not much about him, I’ll have you what I know from my time in the East”. She looked around the floor as the Guereza began organizing the files back into an old carton. “Not even one?” She asked, It wasn't like the man was a ghost. It wasn’t of much help identifying them in the files as many of them had lost the little passport photo attached to it. As he organized the file, a file came falling and she studied it as much as she could. It had a pale looking girl on it, her file was stamped across in red bold letters. ‘Confiscated'. Her entire face was as though she cried out for help. Iva looked down to figure out if she was amongst those submitting their rule. The detective furrowed her brows at the realization of her caste, 'did Vampires also submit rule?’. ‘Her name: Chapa Nala Alston, Age :104, D
A loud shriek echoed through the infirmary, was a weird awakening but the doc expected her recovery much sooner. He hastened through the hallway, his coat moving at his wake in such manly and heroic temperament. His hand dribbled with every swing, his recently brewed cappuccino. The endless mess kept the second runner hoping some feet behind, he was not any but desirous to smudge his favorite white pants. They closed in on the room the outcry had stemmed from. Reaching the door first, Levi, our doc marches in to see Iva-Lois kicking off her bed, she looked to the new comers. Her eyes between them, she remembered her gargoyle friend, Loye.“What happened? Did… Did I kill someone?”. Iva squealed frantically, her pitch much maintained and bothering but Levi ignored it, he busied himself with a board at her desk, which would be her health report. “Welcome to the Land of the living” Loye grinned spreading his arms before sending a hard jab at Levi’s side but he didn’t quit writing. “What
LEVI cleared the mythic at her bed and moved towards her. Studying her eyes for a long minute he frowned. “Which nurse gave you the drug?” He looked towards Sheer at her delayed response and the girl startled. “I – uh… I think she was new”. A feel of trepid tool over the room in the instant. Iva turned to them, “I’m I going to die?” she had a worried look but she wouldn’t stop smiling. Levi grabbed the bottle and sniffed it, his eye lit up at Eoyl who instantly grabbed the bottle. With a sniff, he looked at them, “This is dragon stone powder”. Took a lot to notice the smell, it couldn’t be recognized by a human or a weak mage and that’s when it functions best effective. In Court’s history, the reptilian during the war against the bird mythic, flooded the waters of their enemy with dragon stone powder, it led to the death of numerous exhausted flying soldiers and the victory of the then dragon king. Sheer moved to the other side of the bed and had Iva lay down, “Elvy get me some acupunc
Fear overtook her at the sight of the unearthly creature, cheeks hollow and eyes dim. The face of the creature was pale with sharp fangs jutting from it’s mouth, the few strands of hair that stood on its skull moved as though they were in water, the strands where thick and strong like a thin wire. It’s eyes were dark with a little yellow circling a tiny pupil. The limbs long and thin and its claws as strong as bones pierced Iva’s jaw. Iva froze as a pang ran by her brain, it was something pulled out of the nightmare of seven year old Iva, something long buried and never to resurface. She shrieked as her hand grabbed the bones strong claw and her feet backed up for balance. 'I ought to rip your head off you good for nothing!’ the voice came through her with a lot trembling that weakened the detective. ‘Dejavu’ a weird sense that this had occurred before hit her. She needed to get out of there, she forced the fingers away from her face, pushing with every strength she could moister but
“YOU won’t want to go down that path Iva”. Dury told her and Ruyd had a cold expression on his face, her first thought was that they’d laugh at her. “You got it wrong… I wasn’t… I didn’t…” she shook her head at Draco. He wasn’t mad, wasn’t amused, he was confused. Aria folded her arm and cocked her hips, “Come on Dury, you always scare the suitors away” she nudged Elvy. “Same goes for you tiny”. Sheer looked a bit worried “I don’t think it’s a good match, I’ll go with Dury”. Iva shut her eyes and heightened her pitch. “I wasn’t staring, I was lost in thoughts… Any ideas what we are going to face?”. “Typical bounty hunt chase, reward is for the smartest and strongest”. Iva looked to Draco, she wasn’t so much in book smarts and being strong used to be her forte, along with guns but she wasn’t sure much about her ability in the Court. ‘Weak human! How dare you disregard my power!’ Uhki shrieked in her ears and her arms flew up over them. True, she had Uhki and so even without Draco, she
He moved along the stone cut stage, it had carvings of strange runes that occasionally glowed a faint purple. Iva folded her arms, in a world where the High Lords should completely be aware of the unease, he seemed to carry on normally. What was his ambition? Why did he create the cave? What’s his story? What is his goal prior the incoming war. All these questions flooded her brain, it’d give Uhki a nose bleed. She fixed her eyes suspiciously on Genesis, she was tensed. One thing Devin told her was not to let her guard down by a suspect, try to find how cunning they are, never let them outsmart you. She had met Draco however and he neither denied nor admitted to his crimes. He came in raw without a word, killing and just full out rogue. He was one of the many people in this puzzle of a court she was curious about, his drive.She took her eyes to peer at Fab who seemed straight out concentrating on Genesis’ narrations. ‘Their determination… life and death… killings, what did the East
