One that is not a lie, does not mean one is not deceptive.

I was still staring at Gloria for a good whole minute, trying to understand whatever it was that she just told me. A conspiracy is the last thing the government needs right now. Was that the sole purpose as to why we’re outside the gates? Silas had never been upright about the reason as to why we’re out here. He was always being vague, smiling whenever we say something that seemed to make some sort of sense to him, but over all that was just it. He never outright told us the reason we’re out here. I doubt it’s just helping him with governance and t
Do not tell secrets to those whose faith and silence you have not already tested.✾ I woke up with a gasp, clasping my neck. Looking around frantically, I try to assess my surroundings. I was in a room, like the rest of the b
You do not get what you want. You get what you negotiate.✾ As much as I wanted to proceed and go towards the municipal hall almost immediately to know the whereabout of a certain gentle giant, I was forced to pass by the salon. Not that I could have missed it either way, it was by the exit. I was bound to pass by the hairdressers. Unconsciously, I comb my hand through my hair, it had grown longer than I intended. Back at the academe, we always had monthly trims, that’s why my hair never extended past my butt. Now, though, it was way past that. Maybe I do need a trim, it would be easier to travel with short
Once you have seen the badness of the world, it is a sin to turn and look away.✾ “Where’s the municipal hall?”
Don't bend; don't water it down; don't try to make it logical.✾Without looking back, I start walking towards the exit.
You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.✾For one split second, my heart stops and I swear I see the whole world shift.
Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy.✾Gloc’s voice was soft and could barely be considered as a whisper. And here I thought that only consorts had the ability to lower their voices so only a few people could hear. My time here outside the gates have really been more of an eye opener, that we weren’t that special really to begin with. Sure, there was a term used as a consort’s voice but nevertheless, it seems that most often than not, a lot of werewolves had the ability to soften their voice so that only a few people could hear. And I’m sure that wasn’t the only thing that we had that’s considered normal here beyond the gates.“What do you mean by that?”He bites his bot
Man is not what he thinks he is, he is what he hides.✾“After everything that I said, you want to ask me why?”“Why do you want to know where he is? He could have just left for all that you know.”I shake my head, “He’s not like that. He would never leave us alone.”“Why?” Gloc asks again, his question fueling my annoyance. I opened my mouth, words failing me. Why? Should there always be a reason over wanting someone to be safe? Should there always be reasons as to why you want to know where someone is? I start stuttering sounds that don’t even make sense. Like a start of a sentence that I don’t know the continuati
In all this world there is nothing so beautiful as a happy child.✾Kofi was sitting comfortably on his bed. A small picture book on his lap. He was scanning through the pages, looking at the colorful pages. There was a small piece of cloth on his head, squinting slightly, it seems to have blue jelly on it. The jelly must help in lowering his fever. He was still looking flushed, making me frown. I sure hope that during the time of my absence, he was feeling a little better. I raise my hand slowly while leaning at the door frame, knocking at it lightly to get his attention. Almost immediately his head snaps up and I was greeted by a toothy grin.“Mawe!” He screams on the top of his lungs. He lifts his arms up and extends it towards me, clenching and unclenching his hands as if he wanted to squeeze t
