CHAPTER 39
: THEON’s POV
As that faint sound of roar reached my senses, I knew something was wrong.
“Damn, where is it?” I frantically spat as I sprinted into this dark wood.
Ryu informed me that Rhys kind of also strolled here, and David is somewhere in this forest. Then was this commotion the result of their convergence?
I only let Ryu come with me, while I forbade Luna, Liam, and Ane to come. It could also save me from having more and more conflict between them. As Ryu’s destination is on the east, I assigned Fish to the west, and I then headed south.
That woman, what is she thinking? Strolling in such a place without a companion is tantamount to suicide.
I dashed deeper into the woods when another lapse of a loud growl echoed in the background, causing me to stop to analyze where it came from. I changed my course to the right, running at my full speed before the sound fades away.

: RYU’s POVAs I silently sat on this marble bleacher at the courtyard after I exit Theon’s room, leaving those small swords at his table. I cupped my nape with both of my hands before leaning on the back of the bench, staring at the vast blue sky.“Grey-like orbs, huh,” I softly mumbledGifts. I have seen a glimpse of Luna’s exceptionality before I came to learn about gifted humans.When we have a chat back then at the dining table, she actually guessed that I am a dragon without me hinting at it to her. It wasn’t an astounding hunch and yet; I was suddenly snooping how she guessed it right.I thought she just had a keen eye since she grew up with this herd of dragons. I was expecting her to relate her answer from physical affirmations but she said otherwise. Magic, she said she can see through a dragon.---just like that guy.She indeed

: ANEMONE’s POV“Fish, we have to do something!” I hastily exclaimed at this dark grey-haired guy, sitting in front of me on his desk. “That woman had killed some of us. We must eliminate her before she takes the chance to kill us." I pointed to my right. "And—and Mister Ryu, those two might be together in this!”“Don’t give such blatant assumptions, Ane, it is nothing like that.” He muttered as he rested his chin on his intertwined fingers, “Everything is under control than what you have in thought.”“What makes you so sure?” I madly inquired, “You know what happened to David, that psycho almost killed him. What if she’ll never stop?”“So you do not trust him then?” He narrowed his eyes, making me jolt in realization. I glanced away, hiding my face from him. He has a point but, I don’t want to lose

: THEON’s POV “I feel sick.” I mumbled as I rested my cheek on the rough surface of my table, feeling my stomach turn around like a whirlpool. It has been growling too loud lately that I can’t even stay at the dining table for more than a minute. Where did I get these? Was it from our food earlier? “Come on, Theon,” Luna exclaimed after she entered my room with her furnished ponytail matching her new orange dress outlined with white maple leaves at the brim, ready for the festival, “Midnight is coming,” “I’ll pass,” I mumbled with my weak, sour voice. “But,” She pouted, “Everyone will go, except for Rhys though.” Yeah, simply because she is injured; I don’t think she can go. Now that I am kind of sick, I don’t want to move a muscle with this twirling belly. The festival is a one-week celebration; I will visit right after I am fine. “Go on now,” I uttered, sending her off on her journey, “Mid

“I guess there is no helping then,” I muttered, and then cupped the right side of my face with my cold palm. “Since Ane failed to hurt me after knowing my identity. We’ll have to wait for the one last bet to finish.”That demon! Interfering with my goals. He has the guts to stick his nose in my game. What is he up to?Why did he suddenly decide to help this green-haired devil?I can’t blame him if he started continuing his lame plan, but it doesn’t matter now. The last bet is something he cannot predict and impede. It is such a bother I made this bet to work fair and square.Unpleasantly, my mind flashed a horrible memory. Back to the time I actually cried.--once again.Those tragedies that once troubled me before do not inflict the same pain anymore. Instead, it only made me recognize it, sadness.How troublesome.From the corner of my eye, I noticed him move, making me glance at him.

: DAVID’s POV“It is getting late,”I mumbled as I stood at the entrance of the town, waiting for a certain person to show up. The cold air embraced me while the cacophony of chattering voices jammed my ears. A gentle wind wailed, taking along the pleasing scent of the once stapled cuisines.Even though losing my other vision is making my head throb, the bright placements of lights were a lambent sight.At this rendezvous. I want to spend my time here with her.---but I am just the guy whom she barely notices.Just like her, I kept this ardent feeling for myself. I have lived long enough to understand that such affection can artlessly spawn, but the act of reciprocation isn’t some sort of bonus.Taking the risk is beyond me and yearning for more is out of my league, knowing that we do not feel the same.Asking for such a meeting and expecting her to come is some intrepi

: ANEMONE’s POV“Calm down, Ane,” I furiously mumbled to myself as I walk straight ahead, “David is not acting weird, it is just like Theon. That their trivial gentleness does not mean something more like special meanings.”You are no special Ane, to begin with.You are just one desperate woman longing to be loved and because of that, you almost lead someone to their misfortune. With those stains, you have no right to love again.David has been with me as a friend, and I don’t want to cross that line twice.Since I am now free from my old self, I have the need to maintain it. I guess.Your priority right now is to protect those that are important to you without the necessity to have them do the same.So Ane, you do not need a hear—“Oy,” A warm hand suddenly gripped my cold one. I shivered upon the contact, compelling me to stop.
THE HUNT: Bound to the sky CHAPTER 46
: RYU’s POVMy three days after the official opening of the Fall festival was boring. Yet, not as boring compared to my time back at the Underworld.One thing that had left me astounded was the lantern moment. A wish for another from a genuine heart, will it come true?Futile, who in this retching world is going to grant such hope? That festival is nothing but created for fun. No one up above will hear your pleas, because none exists up there.I know, because I tried.I cringe at myself whenever I remember that time I knelt on that verdant ground, and with the top of my lungs, I clamored to the night sky; just at least make that one wish come true.It was the stupidest thing I have done in my entire life.Two weeks must have passed ever since I left Underworld and has been forty-three years since I left that home, but not a single regret is gnawing my core. Who wouldn’t? ---since the ‘m

: THEON’s POVAs I stood beside the open window, I shrieked. “This is bad.” I glanced at them, “A wedding a month from now?!”“Yeah,” Rhys corresponded without hints of anxiety, “It is what the paper says,” she added while she stilled her attention on that rolled-out scroll.Why are you so calm? Damn it!Ryu, who was leaning on the closed door behind Rhys with his palms on his nape, joined the conversation, “I wonder why the king declared such all of the sudden,” He slowly strolled towards Rhys’s sitting figure and bent his back down to read the scroll with her. He actually wore that freaking attitude. Yeah, he unerringly smirked.“Days from now, they will hold an engagement party at that kingdom, huh, both of your presence is needed.” He informed.“They even decided to concurrently hold the wedding together with that once
