Hours had passed and we arrived at Frain’s hideout.
His stares was different from the one that we saw. His eyes were different, his angers disappeared. Those stare shows sweetness.
“I’ve been expecting you, Destiny.”
But that didn’t move me. I know how he manipulate his emotions.
At that I shouted, “Listen to me, Destiny is not here. I’m not her!”
He was surprised. I saw him mouthed feisty.
He stood up from his place and slowly he drew his sword. I could hear the tip of it scratching the ground as it makes sparks.
From his stance we never saw that he could attack furiously; we dodge his attacks while he was laughing at us.
Swords then swing here and there, we were able to dodge his attacks. We received bruises and scratches.
Hikaru started to become uneasy because the two most important people in his life are missing.The soldiers were aligned and the emperor ordered all of them to find his brother and lover."Please find them everywhere." Hikaru orderedThe soldiers are about to set off when Aiomi and I returned to the palace.Hikaru was surprised as he run to us. His eyes were filled with tears.That hug I experienced when mom died. His grip was tight and I hugged him back."Release us, Hikaru. I can't breathe." Aiomi protested as he taps his brother's back.It made him chuckle at his big brother's protest. Aiomi smiled at the emperor."Go and change first. I cannot hold a meeting with you like that" Hikaru said.The maidens and some servants came to our place.Yui came to me. This is the first time I saw a blonde in the palace. I asked hee about the twins."They are in good health your highness. They are highly guarded."I sighed a relieve and thanked her. She just nodded.She took me to the bath and a
It was 7 in the evening, and trees began to lost their leaves. Winter is almost coming. I walked outside the cafeteria and everybody bid me goodbye. I can feel my body pulling me down...I saw people preparing for winter. Old steel barrels were filled with firewood, some people gave homeless people sweaters and any clothes to fight the harsh cold winter.I almost came to a stop when I saw a little girl in front of me. She was wearing this brown ragged clothes, and an old shoe that was bigger than her feet."Hi, merry Christmas" she lively said as she was looking at me with a smile.I bent my knees down so I could see her better. She has this amber eyes, a beautiful long red hair and red lips and cheeks.I smiled at her and replied, "Hello, Merry Christmas too. What's your name?""I am Aaliyah, would you want some candy cane?" she said me as she offers me some.I picked the smaller one in her hand, "Thank you, you're very kind."I was about to give her some coins but she refused, "I am
I noticed that I fell asleep.I stood up and straighten my dress. Anyway, as I said earlier, no one was around and I'm all alone, I won't feel embarrassed.As I shake my clothes to clear the dust off it, I suddenly noticed a sword leaning beside the mahogany cabinet near the living room.We don't have a sword. I don't remember mom nor Hajime have one.When and where did it came from?I walked towards it and examined it with my eyes first. My fingers are on my chin as I crouched and looked at it.The cover or the sheath was silver with a few pints of gold, I don't understand the engravings etched on it.Because of my curiosity, I held it and released it from its sheath.Unlike other sword, its blade was bluish and silver, the handle was wood in color and the cover was glass. It was not as heavy as it look.I lifted it up and swayed it... Imagining I was a samurai fighting some
Aiomi looks differently from his brother. He has this clean cut blond hair , with tantalizing ocean blue eyes, he also has a tanned skin and he's taller than Hikaru, on the other hand, Hikaru has black long hair, which is tied neatly. He has this charismatic deep amber eyes, his complexion is pale yet you could see his cheeksare a bit pinkish. Both of them has pink lips and good looking. In my opinion, Aiomi is older than his brother. Why did I say so? Because of how Aiomi scolded him. You could see how Hikaru holds his patience. Aiomi charges to him and started mocking him,"You're so dumb! You were the king but you're so inse
"Why do you keep me calling your highness?"Hikaru keep on walking and when we are inside the palace, he followed me to a huge painting. I was surprised. I stare at it and thought, Oh my! Now I understand.Hikaru stood beside me and spoke, but still staring at the painting, “She left without a word” his voice was very sad. His hands remained at his back, holding each other.I was looking at him. He was longing for her. “No one knew where was she now, until you came, that was one of the reasons why Aiomi came angrily, rushing here.” Hikaru added.I looked at the painting again and asked, “ Is she the queen?”“Aiomi’s queen rather, but since he rejected the proposal to be king, they had no options. They voted me and Destiny is my queen.”“Do you have an idea where could she be?” I asked while hiding the sword at my back.He walked to a couch ne
Family (Third person's POV) It was spring, when a couple decided to move to a new village, far from the town where they used to live before. It was a small village where most people worked and lived as farmers. Their lives are simple, content and happy. They have bought a quite large house for a cheap price, but renovation will take time and fortune. The male fixed one room and the front door, so he will feel secure whenever he leave his spouse at home. They were still young that time, possibly around 25 in age when they got married, and decided to move out and be independent. The couple helped each other in fixing the house, and one by one their neighbors noticed the newcomers. They were greeted warmly by the villagers. As the cold night arrives, their chief villager and his spouse visited and welc
Hikaru graduated with the best honors and returned home. He helped the villagers as well as his family. All male villagers from 16 years old above were taught on both swordsmanship and archery. Some women were taught how to cure the wounded ad how to use the bandage. Few months later, there was a war between countries. Some of the villagers left the place for their own safety. Aiomi and Hikaru saved their parents from the war. Yuki escorted the queen and the princess to their safety, unfortunately they were captured by the enemies. Aiomi then started to fight back to save his friends, Hikaru led the villagers and their parents to the safest place, which only Hikaru and Aiomi knew : their hideout. Those who were trained fought , when they had the chance they attacked the enemies' barracks. Arrows flew, swords clash, bloods scattered and screams of pain and anger were heard. It took days for the enemy to leave. Hikaru, Aiomi and
