'IVA let me handle this. Uhki told as he took control of her being long before she could react. Had she known she’d be saying goodbye to keeping a low profile, she would have lowered her tone from the onset of the purchase. The Lady at the table pulls out a little bottle of clear liquid and looks right and left. “Hey young druidess” the lady whispered, she had her hand on the mouth, eyes peering into Iva’s “This is the real deal, I’m sure you know that. It’s not something an apprentice should be gulping down”. The men around laughed but not a word from Fab. “Madame Klati” Uhki spoke and the lady gasped, she wondered how Iva knew her name. But the medallion spirit could see right through her. It became no shocker when Madame Klati realized Dury’s words on briefings about the years' candidate, the cart owners, and the briefing officers were all workers for the bounty setup. ‘One of the candidates possesses the medallion, keep an eye out. Uhki didn’t mind revealing his identity to an off
IT was nice to see some familiar faces, Sede and Ruyd stood all geared up and giving her batch and update. Ruyd started, “For everyone new to this, there is a time limit. A week at most but as usual we have strong warriors that could end a hunt within three to five days. You have equipment and rooms at your disposal, to secure your hideouts from the enemy. The troop you are against is called the Crying Jaguars”. The hunters began to murmur amongst themselves. “As I thought, we are going against a group, but from the felines… jaguars… that’s a bit difficult”. Fab took his hand to his chin as he thought, “Let’s hear it all, maybe there would be a way to avoid head-on combat”. Iva told and he nodded still brooding.Sede opens up a roll of paper and clears his throat. “A message from the Lord Genesis, ‘The Jackals have been interrupting my convoys on the valley leading to the North. I spoke with the High Lord of the West and he said he had nothing to do with their rascality. So this is a
“IVA! Iva can you hear me wake up please”. It was quiet besides the voice yelling her back to cognizance. The room was damp and stuffy. It was dark with little sips of light from the broken wood. She looked towards the man who spoke as he called to her, she tried to make out his face, his white hair. She took her hand up to feel his ears. “Draco” she whispered. “Iva?” he grabbed her arm, “Can you hear me?”. She made out his face as red eyes met her and instant awareness of their situation hit her. She sprang up and the weight of vertigo railed against her skull. Eyes wide and in pain she tried to make out the words “Fab… where are we?”. She looked at him as he smiled weakly “Somewhere safe for now, good to have you back,”. He told her and rushes away. She turned about the place, it was very quiet, too quiet. She pulled off the duvet cover he had laid out for her. The room wasn’t four-cornered, it was large and somewhat spherical, padded about with irregular planks, brick walls, old
FAB staggered back looking at Iva, it was her body but the expressions weren’t hers. She stood up from the bed and sauntered towards him, her face devoid of smiles and her eyes dull. She carried herself with a presence likened to aristocrats or wealthy women and her hair, she played with as she moved. “Where’s Iva? I didn’t know this was possible…” he started as Sien took her hand to his shoulders, bringing it down to his chest she smiled. “It’s been a span since I felt this. How cruel was divinity to me!”. She swooned and took her eyes up at Fab, Hazel watching his red. “You are hungry, very hungry”.“Why are you out and not Iva?” he furrowed his brows at her and she absently ripped the left of Iva’s top with unfathomable strength, revealing a large portion of her skin, Fab’s eyes fell on her skin lustfully and Sien inhaled seductively through her mouth. Fab looked hurriedly away, his eyes faint, they were dull, he had lost a lot of blood from battle but he hid them from Iva with cl
TAKING her eyes up, she looked to Fab who was glaring red-eyed at her and dripping saliva. “Iva, I’m really hungry”. She was appalled to see him even paler, bruised, and gorged all over, he was too weak to put on the façade. She rushed off the bed “What the hell happened” she seized her head with her hand, she couldn’t remember a thing after losing control and the room to her appeared suddenly dark dimly lit by candles. She wondered how many hours she had fallen asleep. Ignoring her questions, he lifted his arms at her, he wanted her blood. “Iva”. Her heart raced, she didn’t have Draco to deal with the situation and she doubted she'd make it out if she attempted to escape judging by his inhumane speeds. “You just need rest…” he shook his head and looked down at his helpless self trying dearly to hold on to his sense of humanity. Iva also felt pity for the Nosferatu who had defended her all this while, it was the right thing to have a payback. “Heavens, really tough like you said”, sh
SUPPRESSING her anger Iva shoved Fab off her, brows scrunched in caution as she reaches for her gun. At every movement, her joint ached and she couldn’t thank the vampire enough. Suddenly their guest motioned forward, and at every sewer-sounding footstep it made, Iva's heart leaped. Gun up and following it. “Shoot at it” Fab directed her but she hardened her expression and watched cautiously. Fab suddenly had his fangs out, the steps coming forward till it came into view. “Wait!” Iva yelled as Dimitri leaped to attack. The scared little boy jumped away from the attack and crashed into some clothes and wood piles at the corner. Fab whirls towards him angered. The boy was bathe in blood, pupil dilated watching as he realized he had made the worst mistake approaching. But he knew his fate be it another man behind Iva's gun, he would have been long gone. “Fab I said stop”. Iva sprang after him, she couldn’t think of a way to hold the vampire back, he was drooling at the boy and despite th
“IVA listen to me this once, trust me this guy is a spy”. Iva took the quilt over to the little fox, the room was lit with torches to keep warm. She rolled her eyes and glared at Fab as he pressed in disapproval. “Trust? Should we be speaking about that now bloodhound!”. She raised her pitch and looked over to the fox. “Would you just listen? Something happened earlier after I gave you the Trahq”. “You’ll come up with such…” she fell silent, her body had been quiet a while but she couldn’t help but feel a strange presence that was not Uhki. “What are you talking about?”. Iva asked and Fab turned to leave with a gesture that said she should follow along. Heaving and unable to hide her curiosity, Iva hastened after him, glancing back at the fox briefly as he curled up. She followed silently until they made it to the top board. It was cold with the sound of rustling rags from torn sails. The boarded area of the ship stood on loose woods risky to trample upon. A fallen mast laid on the b
THE ocean roared, and everyone fell still as debris roared through the air. The lights of the barrier lit up and were surprisingly close. A little mile from where Iva stood, an Aurora of light lit up the entire span like a wall demarcating the waters from the waters. It was the location of another quest, the quest Draco was taking part in. The sky became cloudy, dark clouds covering the sky as it began to drizzle. Iva found herself in a dark room, a light beckoning on her. Brows furrowed, she walked towards the calling. “Iva, what’s in there? It’s unstable” a voice called to her, it echoed through the space like it was God speaking. She brightened at the ceiling and then about the niche before stopping at the glowing entrance. “I don’t know, is this my memory?”. She asked but Uhki didn’t respond to her. Stepping on steady gaits, she reached the opening and places her hand on the entrance beside her. Her eyes were wide as she glanced to the left, it was a space, and the tiles were wa
