Vida Vida’s Apartment, New York CityShe stared at Colter, there was confusion and sorrow in her eyes as she realized the intonation of his voice. It was filled with dread and sadness, upon hearing those words, Vida’s heart filled with sadness. It was as if the man she had shared and spent the night with was going to tell her something that she would not be able to take. His eyes betrayed no emotion, other than guilt and melancholy. She had wanted answers for what was happening recently, and in her darkest moment, in her paranoia she was going to receive them.Pulling up the covers to cover the rest of her body, she sat up and nodded at Colter to continue, who only stared at her with bewildered eyes. The couple stared into each other’s eyes; amber meeting emerald but there was no hint of giving in.Colter then took a deep breath and Vida braced herself for the worse, many scenarios ran through her head but what she was going to be told surpassed all of that.“I never wanted to hide a
VidaVida’s Apartment, New York City“Look Colter, I’m not up for any drugs, if you want to go, feel free to go” Vida said worriedly, her paranoia getting the better of her as her mind told her that Colter could also be just some drugged out junkie messing around with her feelings.But the gorgeous man in her apartment clasped her hand in both his hands and smiled at her wryly, “Look, I am not in a position to ask you to trust me” but as he said those words, Vida felt the affection and the warmth spilling out from him, he was not lying. “Trust me.”She sighed and pulled her hand away from him, shaking off the blankets that she used to cover her naked bodice, she stepped out of the bed, feeling Colter’s stare at her all the time and grabbed her clothes.“Please, if by flying you mean taking drugs, I don’t want to take part in any of it” Vida said her back turned, putting on clothes while Colter chuckled from behind her. “So, there are drugs in this kingdom of yours as well?”“Drug mean
AquilaNew York CityThey were watching intently, wanting to get the work done before the sun even rose. So, they watched this building closely, hoping for a moment where they can strike. To the normal eye, they were like a bunch of goons waiting for their target to walk out of his home and then attack. This is what the vultures, in human skin, planned. Colter would not be able to expect their attacks yet they braced for a battle nonetheless. He was not called the ‘roaring inferno’ for no reason.Aquila motioned with his hand for one of his minions to circle the area as he felt Colter’s presence moving, there were no other spectators right now as it was barely sunrise. People were still sleeping soundly, one of the perfect moments to strike at an unexpecting foe.They heard a door creak open and slam and they saw him, their quarry at long last, Colter was stepping out of this dwelling and was preparing to take off.“Now!” Aquila and Dyron, who was watching them through his animus scre
VidaNew York City“Well, happy birthday to me, I guess…” Vida thought to herself with building disdain, her face was blank and her eyes gave off a chilling deadness. She was clearly unhappy at what was going on, she felt sorrow, disdain and resentment welling up inside of her.“Colter left without saying when he will come back or how long he will be gone…” Vida muttered to herself, starting to look slightly crazed.It was Vida’s birthday, as she had sung to herself in her mind, she and Tessa had planned to take a day off and just celebrate her birthday. They were supposed to go to the mall, a cinema, food and also drinks at night. But plans had changed and Vida was simply too depressed to do anything ‘happy’.“Let’s just go to work” Vida texted Tessa, who immediately reply with a barrage of angry, sad and cursing emojis. “Already on my way there” Vida replied to Tessa’s string of emojis.Well, if that didn’t secure anything, nothing will, Vida thought wildly, knowing that this will a
ColterKingdom of HavoccHis veins were on fire, leaving traces all over his body as the poison coursed through him. Colter tried to endure the pain but his mind was already screaming. The last thing he knew was that he was attacked after leaving Vida’s apartment. It was quite a battle but he was caught off guard. Hence why he was in this sticky situation right now.“It hurts” Colter thought as the fire continued to burn inside him, his brain was slowly losing itself and his heart was slowing down. “Vida…” Colter thought as his thoughts flickered in and out of existence, “I’m sorry… I think I fucked up”Then there was a snap, it was as if something inside of him changed. He found himself in darkness and there was voice that seemed to guide him on.“You are my son” the voice told him.“I am your son…?” Colter repeated in the darkness of his mind, “I am your son.”“Open your heart to me, my son” the voice continued and Colter accepted it like a child.Dark energies flowed into him, it w
GianKingdom of HowardIt was a gloomy day, the absence of the Prince Colter had weighed heavily on the citizens of Howard, their morale was low, his mother had not left her room for days and King Malik’s thoughts were befuddled. Vergil, the royal guard who had been sent to the portal had returned yet. For what it was worth, the Kingdom of Howard looked like they were hovering over ruin.The elder prince, Gian Howard, found himself following the Deity Flora curiously, he decided to spy on the oracle because she could potentially reveal his betrayal to the king, no the whole kingdom. Not wanting his chance at the throne be squandered by some all-seeing witch, he watched her quietly.Flora took a pouch of ash from her clothes; it was what she usually used when she conjured visions. The crystals around her started to glow as she blasted a handful of ash into the floor.“Revelate!” she chanted and the room seemingly quivered for a split second, Gian was rattled for a few seconds but he tr
ELOISAThe Palace Grounds, Kingdom of HowardHoward was in mourning.It had been a day since the news about the Deity spread throughout the Kingdom. The entire Ecanus had paid respects to the fallen Deity by visiting the Palace Grounds. The King had ordered the gates to remain open as long as the Deity's final form, a white butterfly, was ready to depart the realm.The Palace Grounds were transformed into a funeral viewing. An orderly line can be seen from beyond the gates. In the middle of the courtyard, a dais was set up where a giant glass dome was standing tall, glistening under the bright sun.Eloisa had been one of the Ecanus who was patiently waiting for her turn to pay her respects. But she had another agenda as to why she was here.If it weren't for Deity Flora, Eloisa would never set foot in the Palace again. She wanted nothing to do with the Royal Family anymore.She closed her eyes and tried to forget what she saw that day:Gian's sword plunging on the Deity's chest as if
VERGILBurn's Bar, New York CityVergil fell flat on his face on the concrete once the portal finally chucked him out of its endless vortex of doom.Once he got bearings of his surroundings, he slowly stood up, his knees shaking from his journey in that cursed portal. As soon as he took a step, he stumbled into a bush and threw up the contents of his stomach."Gah!" Vergil wiped his mouth clean from his vomit. "Drat. How could Colter survive that thing? It's a product of torture."It took a while for Vergil to follow Colter on Earth and the magical rabbit was to blame. He had been camped in the forest for a couple of days since the King gave out the order of bringing Colter back. For days, there was no sign of the magical bunny. He thought the King was yanking on his chainmail when he said that Colter followed one and led him to the portal. But after patiently waiting, it did indeed appear. It led him to the portal and now he was on Earth.Vergil took a look around him. He seemed to h
