[One morning at Castle Ephraim]•••A pair of purple gazes, those belonging to Amethyst, eyed the narrowing river oozing down the hills, rapidly so. The unconscious leaves were leisurely pushed to fall from the thick, beech tree by the cold wind. Funny in one's mind, the tall tree, with a name unknown to Amethyst, was in the middle of the colourful verbanas standing strong as if it was on duty to guard the growing roses. The wind, so quiet, hummed deep in her pointy ears that could hear sound effects from greater distances. The breeze victoriously left whispers that wildly invited tranquillity down, to the bottom of her soul. Her naked pale back, which was harshly invented by flaws, faced the magnificent furniture in a bright room— that was drenched by the sun's rays. Bright and cheerful, the sun's rays paraded behind her back. The sun would, time and again, hide behind the nimbostratus clouds— but upon seeing Amethyst, it fully came out to shine some light down at her. She stood o
[Silence! None of the individuals uttered. The other kept their gazes from the other while the other squinted like a pair of nails in wonder. Although it became unbearable, their pride played its role]"The-e-e-e Moon Crawler it is!" A rumbling voice, that of Liam echoed around the room that was slowly getting overwhelmed by despair— chasing silence away."How are you feeling!?" Liam's lips let an air of investigation escape with a vibrating murmur whilst smirking like a Cheshire cat. Without turning nor opening her eyes, Amethyst chuckled before giving him a reply. She shut her eyes, allowing a flow of tears to form a stream of salty waters on her cheeks. Words immediately showed a new pair of heels as she tried to organise them into a sentence. Liam who was running out of patience lifted his boots to throb towards her. Feeling his heavy gaze on her, she hugged herself, clenching her arms as she silently asked for tears to stay behind. Liam fell silent for a long time, training h
[This is Goodbye my love; A long way I have come from. Great is the anguish in my heart— stars fade into thin air. Forgive me, will you?] •••{IT WAS ANOTHER DAY OF DESPAIR!}"I can't…I just can't!" Silently, Liam said after a long time his gazes were trained on her drenched body. There she sat— her eyes were twinkling with the sudden formation of glee. Her bright smile pierced through his dark, clouded heart, inviting shudders to put weight on his head. "Look…I…thank you." Breathlessly, Amethyst said after she had shuffled towards him. For a reason incomprehensible, she was overly excited with him close to her. She giggled and twirled here and there as if she was maturing ten. She did not mind his eyes on her; it made her less embarrassed.The change in her behaviour perplexed Liam to a point where he had slightly forgotten what his intentions were— that made him revisit her. Something in her demeanour vehemently demanded him to hold back his poisonous thoughts about her. "Her
•••The sky that was azure now turned pale and was instantly surrounded by despaired clouds. The wind did not take long to whine, encouraging the tree leaves to dance. Something did not seem to be in apple-pie order— Melpomene was breathing heavily whilst her hands shuddered. From the depths of mystery, Liam did not at all feel his face— his soul had seemed to have left his body. The smell of indignation, blended with fright still dangled heavily in the air. Melpomene wrung her quacking hands and manoeuvred to move towards Liam. The wriggling tails of the yellow flames reflected in dewy pupils of Liam. The air became heavier, they had to pause after taking a breath in. "KOITÁXTE MÉSA SAS!"{LOOK INSIDE YOU!}Melpomene's voice rumbled, exerting itself into Liam's system and without holding back, producing a vortex of visions to display themselves before him. A vehement brush of a vision he longed for to disappear, appeared. •••Liam's Vision: [A breezing morning of Fallin' Leaves
Black clouds were hovering a lot in the sky. Thunder rumbled once or twice, scaring any creature that could be wandering nakedly on the open land.A carriage driven slowly by two, scrawny black horses with a gush of weariness on their faces, immediately halted and promptly startled Wendell who was inside, browsing a book with a black cover in his hands. Without moving an inch of his body, Wendell took in deep breaths. "Hope it goes well." Silently, he prayed, his eyes still shut behind the big spectacles. His figure suddenly shivered with regret running alongside his greeny, protruding veins. "I have to do this, you leave me no choice Amethyst. Making up for the lost time is what I'm looking forward to!" He hissed, trying to erase anything that was associated with Amethyst in his head. "CODE!" A husky voice demanded with passion at the driver who was wearing a black face mask, that assisted in keeping his features all to himself. "KATARAMÉNO FOS!"The driver's acidic voice confid
Vigorous applause of thunder was heard roaring above THEM. Wendell could feel Kieran's gaze falling upon him every time his name was called out by the enraged Goddess. "SHOW YOURSELF, YOU WRETCH!" A voice of a female thundered throughout the hall room— sending waves of aghast down both Kieran's and Wendell's spines. They exchanged alarmed gazes and only Kieran managed to swallow the lump that was dancing in his throat. "IMOGEN!"A flame-haired vampiric demon stood in the centre of the hall room. Both of her distinguishable structures that are used for locomotion [A LEG OF BRONZE AND A HOOFED FOOT OF A HORSE; AND A LEG POSSESSED BY HUMANS] —barely touched the ground. Recalling that extraordinary cold night Imogen had sworn to kill him and Amethyst when she found them, invited fright in Wendell's system that was somewhat assorted with indignation. Wendell staggered back, silently reciting a prayer that was helping with calming his nerves. "This is not the END! Curse you Amethyst…!"
"MERRY-GO WE SHALL. THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING— SPARE ME THE TEARS, MY LOVE. JOURNEY; HIDEOUSLY DARK AND FILLED WITH VENOMOUS THORNS. —ANTICIPATE; MAY WE?" •••After a long night of great suffering from darkness and waves of coldness, the beings of Castle Ephraim finally got rid of the dismal bee in their bonnets— about having a day of at least friendliness from nature as light and warmth showered itself over the wetland. A couple of meters away from the castle is an isolated, tiny cottage with smoke escaping from its chimney. Inside is Amethyst who was pacing nervously back and forth with Liam's words replaying in her head. "Your parents made a mistake producing you!"It was hard for her to obliterate his words as they whispered themselves in her ears for at least the millionth time now. They made a great spectacle of intruding in her thoughts— imbuing resentment in her system. Despair had already filled the cup of her dull heart— her way of reacting to this was screaming but her l
"Dark the truth shall be; Follow your HEART and kneel before me. Escort your MIND out of the Hoovering clouds of Gloom— Let There Be LIGHT!" •••It was creepy there. The metal fence six minutes away from her feet had long been corroded. A shuddering figure of Amethyst promptly hid behind the two, huge dumpsters, placed deep in the lane. Everywhere around her was bleak— an angry family of clouds seemed to want to have a rendezvous high in the gleaming sky. Stars winked at her from the darkened abyss of the heavens. They were so luminous that it made her avert her glances away from them. Something did not seem to be alright at that point in time. Above it all, the pentagrams looked like scattered moondust in the night sky. They were blazing in silence upon the busy village of Droitwich. The occasional screams and the prolonged howls in either lamentation or cheerfulness faraway broke the silence in Amethyst's heart. To her, it was so sudden that the tranquillity was no longer envelo
