Chapter 5: Heavenly Realm.
When I arrived home, I tried to look around but I didn't see any trace of my Pops. He’s probably drunk again or sleeping somewhere around. Actually, that’s what all he did. It is his daily routine to drown himself in the presence of alcoholic beverages or busy himself with wine making. There are also those times wherein I’ll see him in the backyard near the pond while playing chess all by himself. The bonding we all have is chatting and playing around. I’m not mad at him for always getting drunk. I’m satisfied with everything but I also cannot help but worry about his health. Too much liquor might affect him. But based from his looks, I think it’s the other way around. I guess it serves as his vitamin. His day will be incomplete if there aren’t any signs of alcohol in his system.“Are you done playing around?” he asked in a drunken tone. Like usual, he’s drinking again. I saw him holding his ancient bottle in his right hand. He is gripping at it for it to not fall on the water. I also fool around him whenever he’s around. I played some pranks on him and tease a little bit during those times he went here to eat. I actually miss those times and wished he hadn't left. I breathed a sigh and a sudden memory crossed my mind. I blinked several times. The other day, I was lying carelessly on the bermuda grass for me to rest. I read an article about Alois Deveraux and how he became the first emperor of heaven in the Heavenly Realm. He acquired the throne because of his immense power. It can even be compared to the king itself. I giggled because of the information. He is way too strong. I guess he’s too skillful and unbeatable. He is also an expert in terms of creating weapon
“Ah—” I handed him a glass of water and he hurriedly snatched it from my hands. He gulped every ounce of it and made sure he didn't leave any drop behind. Unfortunately, the amount is too much which made Pops spit out again. This earned a good round of laughter from the Master white haired. A heavy whap was what I received when I tried to lower down both of my arms. I closed my eyes because of the stinging sensation on my arm. “Raise your arms properly. Don’t lower it down until I order you to.” My hands are raised in the thin air while I kneeled on the cold bermuda grass. The two old men are also casually playing chess in front of me. This is the punishment for what I did earlier. I am now starting to regret the small prank I intended on doing. “Popsy, I already said I’m sorry and one
“Everything happens for a reason. People come and go. You just need to choose the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. Choose those who can understand you well enough. The time will come when I’ll be gone too, I can’t protect you forever. You need to be brave in order to face your struggles and every battle. But also don’t forget to rest if you have to. If it’s breaking you, take a break and fight again but never surrender. Kiddo, in this lifetime, it is only yourself who will accompany you. Never become too dependent on someone. Be brave and strong enough to let go. Don’t forget that.” I heard Popsy’s words before I fell asleep. Because of the too much alcohol in my system, it put me to sleep. But despite that, I can still hear every word he said and it somehow made my heart ache. I woke up and my head pounded. It is aching and I a
Chapter 6: Disguise.“What’s wrong, mother?” Snow White asked me while I’m staring at the moonlight here outside the staircase. The stairs are made of wood which always makes a creaking sound. Both of my hands are under my chin while I am too preoccupied of thinking on how I can get to the Heavenly Realm without getting caught. I need to be careful or it will cost my whole life. I still have lots of dreams to fulfill and it will not help if this fails. I will have to immediately bid farewell to my soul and face death.Snow White’s question distracted me but despite this, I kept my eyes at the sky above. “Nothing. Just thinking about how I can get to the Heavenly Realm. Only those of the male gender can participate and join the competition. But I need to visit the said realm. It is the only pl
“Yes, mother. It’s me. I turned myself into a hairpin. This will serve as your protection. I will cast a spell so that no one can recognize you.” She tittered. I blinked several times because I was too stunned to speak. “Really? No one will recognize my face, even the other Foxes?” “Yes, mother. But—” “What’s wrong?” “You need to wear this pin all the time. And also, you need to be careful. If ever this pin got broken, I will go back to my original form and also, the spell will no longer work if ever that happens. Another thing that can make me go back to my form is when a strong force lets me out," she said in a warning tone. This made me alarmed. So, I shouldn’t let anyone touch this pin.
Our professor walked towards our direction. “Do you know this boy? His name is Moon. Do you have a student named Moon?” Our professor looked at me and started inspecting me from head to toe. He even pursed his lips while staring at every inch of my face and body. I started sweating. I don’t like what’s happening right now. I gripped the railings of my shoulder bag which is hanging on my right side. “I don’t know him.” I heard our professor mutter. “He is probably one of those boys who does not attend my classes and skipped school. He must have heard of the decree and decided that he wants to enter the academy. This is actually great. Almost all my students wanted to join but sadly, it is only the male population who can enter the competition.” He continued. I breathed out the air I was holding. I immediately look at his face and I am too surprised that he doesn’t recognize me. I didn’t expe
Chapter 7: Raven Faustus. “Wahh~ it’s so beautiful. I felt like I was in a dreamland.” I was astonished by the mystical serenity as we walked on the long bridge on our way to the heavenly palace. The entrance of the heavenly realm somehow resembles those magical places which can be found in a fairytale book. The concrete bridge is floating above a group of clouds which has the color of the galaxy. It looks like it transported you in the milky way rather than the realm of heaven. Shooting stars and sparkling bubbles are also found in the area and it made the place too splendid. Upon reaching the gate towards the palace, the entire area also look grandeur. Several posts can be seen at the massive gate which holds the red colored flag of the palace. Intricate carvings are placed on the wall and it is outlined with gold which made it look more sophisticated. A long aisle which is surround
I’m really pissed off. I never met someone like him before. He’s a crazy hybrid. I tried to get away from him but he kept on following me. He is still laughing at my naivety and innocence which makes me truly annoyed. After a few minutes, we finally arrived at the heavenly realm together with the other participants. The palace’s interior looks too surreal. The floor is made of wood and it is painted with an image that matches the magnificence of the place. Poles are also located inside that have ceramic designs and a touch of gold before it touches the floor. The swirls are too dainty and it looks bewitching. A golden statue is placed on the front which exactly matches several of the furniture’s put inside. The ceiling has stupendous chandeliers that also fits the ambiance of the palace. “Greetings to you, our heavenly king,” the
