[YOU MIGHT NOT WANT TO LOSE YOUR POWER; WE'RE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE JOURNEY MY LOVE— COVER YOURSELF IN DARKNESS, AND I SHALL FIND YOU. ACCOMPANY ME IN THIS RUN FOR I SHALL SWIM THE HYMN OF THE SEAS FOR YOU!" •••Up ahead, in the sky, tar-coloured clouds quickly manoeuvred to gather a meeting upon the kingdom of Ephraim. The applause that came from the thunder rumbled across the earth, notifying creatures to imprison themselves indoors. For all creatures with wings, be it birds or any kingdom of winged beings, it was a must for them to fly away for nature was promising danger that could pull their wings away. Lightning did not take long to pierce through the ugly clouds. Gino's eyes painted themselves in the sky and silently watched nature ready itself for a premonition phenomenon to occur. Lightheart was mumbling words under her shaking breath. "HE'S COMING OUT! PUT….PUT HIM BACK! HE CAN'T COME OUT!" Lightheart screamed as she sprinted inside her cottage to find Liam's body cov
A pair of grey eyes instantly opened as soon as the owner's ears captured the audible birdsong outside his window. Birds of different kinds sang their songs, not realising that they disturbed the tranquil Liam had lusted to have after a restless night. Visions of Malbonte cautiously, and victoriously haunted him throughout the breezing, long night. A hiss escaped from his cracked lips as he dashed towards the big, golden-framed windows to chase away the birds that were holding an event on 'his' windows. As soon as his mission was accomplished, he went back to his bed and sat down on it, hustled by a poisonous thought. "Melpomene knew of Amethyst's presence. Unlike me, she can sense those, who the journey needs— but…LORNA!" Liam calculated silently while his big, right hand ran over his head. An intense feeling of melancholy wrapped itself around his system after his head had put forward Amethyst's green eyes— those she had before coming to transform into her real self. "So twinkli
I SHALL FIND THE ONE; THE MIGHTY ONE TO HAUNT. LOVE ME FOREVER; KILL ME IF YOU MUST! I HAVE SUMMONED YOU, YOUR BLOOD FILLS THE CUP OF MY HEART JUST TO POISON MY MOON. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, I SHALL SEE IT ALL! •••{I CRAVE YOUR TASTE!}A tall, mysterious shadow stalked quietly behind Amethyst's agitated figure. Her eyes were coldly bloodshot— a moon had passed and yet she could not plot her next move on Wendell. Her heart was shuddering and shrinking with indignation that made her mute to another kind of emotion. A black hoodie stayed on her head because everywhere she went, her purple eyes met with posters containing her portrait and big, bold letters written on top; "WANTED". They were posted only in the parts of the village, where a tiny number of humans allowed other-worldly creatures to dwell in their territory— as long as they were in return, lured into a nest of delicate fantasies they yearned to swim in. It became clear to Amethyst that Wendell's force was becoming str
[THE EARTH SHALL COME BETWEEN THE SUN AND THE MOON, BLOCKING THE SUNLIGHT FALLING ON THE MOON! WAY SHALL BE LOST; EMBRACE YOURSELVES— FOR I AM YOUR SHADOW OF DEATH!] •••The wind was rushing across the thick, squat trees that cracked every time Amethyst's feet took a step. In the meantime, the bright flashing lightning was lightening up the sky like fire sent by Gods—as if warning her from taking another step close to the house. Her gazes were fixated on the tiny house that had blinking lights publishing it as hunted. The last time she walked in, Wendell took some valuable items away from her. She saw visions of her mother— explicit visions. She waited without moving an inch of her body and studied the house. "I'm sure that Wendell would have killed me the minute his eyes laid on me. Where did the girl disappear to?" Amethyst silently growled in confusion. Blue funks instantly engulfed her figure, which was lamely contracting under the mysteries of darkness. She could feel eyes,
"I WILL NOT FORGIVE YOU, MAMA!" •••The water was gurgling and hissing all the mysteries of the Oceans, two seconds away from her feet. Waves lifted themselves, swimming back and forth on the black surface and dancing to the rhythms of the hushed mutterings in the room. A pattern of tiny rainbows stuck themselves on the ceiling, limping as the waves danced. Amethyst quietly knelt next to the pool and patiently squeezed her eyes out to search for something in the water— something that was glowing blue from the depths of the pool. Amethyst sat down with eyes that were glinting with curiosity. The water now bubbled, as if paving way for something that was lying inside. A minute later, a head of a creature, that was covered in glowing white hair, began peering through the surface. As if under a spell, Amethyst did not budge until the figure of the creature swam out. Its eyes were brown–green and violently gleaming as they gazed at Amethyst. Its demon–hylian ears slightly flapped jub
DANGEROUS APPEALS! Boots blasted across the dark forest that was as hushed as the lands of the dead. A figure of a man whizzed past the tall, primaeval trees, that had its heads of leaves dancing to the velocities of the breeze. There were squat, slim trees that were cheerfully shaggy and depressed alongside the brown grass next to a hissing lake. Dead leaves were leisurely falling to the dry ground, making a noisy crackling sound as they touched the ground. The runner's breath instantly grew frantic with the thought of being caught by the furred beasts behind him. His heart throbbed somewhere close to his throat. He could feel the earth beneath his feet quacking from his fear. From a distance afar, his ears could perceive the different kinds of sounds that surrounded him but mostly, of the heavy breaths of the creatures that were running after him were flowing in his veins like poison. "Keep running!"A voice, lacking resonance and definition, rang in his head— encouraging his
"I Am Here For You, My Love!" [Castle Ephraim] Half–closed eyes slowly opened wide to publish their imperfect beauty, glistening with the purest dew. The chilly breeze blew through the window that was left open and travelled inside the spacious room. The window was left undressed next to the queen–sized bed, there, where Amethyst was fast asleep. The sun was already high and blazing upon the blue sky that was dotted with fluffy, white clouds that were lazily floating in the gentle breeze. Amethyst's head was sunk deep into the dusty pink pillow while the sun's rays played a game of hiding and seeking on her ashen face. They aggressively chased her sleep away. Her bloodshot eyes darted to every corner of the room, which was coloured in shades of grey and hints of depressed whites on the walls. A groan escaped from her dry lips as her slim fingers clutched at her hair. As soon as she raised her head, a familiar lavender scent that was mixed with a medicinal scent, made a journey i
[ DELICATE DREAM CLOUD MY HEART. GIVE ME ALL THE STRENGTH AND I SHALL FIND YOU. I AM THE BEAST IN YOUR NIGHTMARES, OPEN YOUR WICKED HEART FOR ME! ]•••"Mama! I SAID I AM SORRY!" Little Amethyst stressed the words under her shaking breath. Silence gave its consent as it floated around the room. Little Amethyst kept her glistening eyes at her mother's figure. Her eyes were as dark as a pocket. She moved with unpredictable, swift movements around the house. "Are you listening to me? Don't tell her! Circe!" Little Amethyst continued to call out after she saw her mother get her tense figure dressed in a huge, black coat. She did not respond nor did she dare herself to look at her daughter, who was now on her knees, begging. "Even in his death! I have to suffer for his stupid sins…I know, it will happen soon! I have to destroy them!" It was then Circe puffed something from her mouth. She mumbled as she rummaged through the drawers for something only she knew what. She took some object
