Zula'an had entered the world of void where his mind, strength and weakness were being tested. He meditated, fought his darkness, cultivated his abilities and searched his flaws. As he drank of the up-flowing waters, it was revealed to him, the future regarding his reign, the dangers ahead.In one of the revelation, he saw Dahlia's death. She was stabbed by a flamming sword.The thought of seeing her hurt troubled him greatly that he could no longer focus on what was ahead of him. He tried to resist the thoughts as they were his deepest weakness. Only when he survived this tests and come back victoriously, could he truly protect her from whatever it was that he saw. Still, the thoughts persisted, haunting and testing his limits. Sensing this would happen, he had meditated for a long time to clear his mind of her; now, it was all back in a flash. His mother did promise to keep her safe after all. With this, he found hope and calm.Just when he thought thinking about her were his g
The maids escorted her into her into the Queen's chamber and bids her wait, as they goes to tell the Queen of her arrival. As she waits, she reflects on Zaiya's words. She couldn't help but wonder what she did wrong to have deserved the cruel fate of death."Maybe i should stop now" She thought. Before she could think further, tears streaked down her cheek. "Why didn't you warn me of your father's plans? Would you have had me die before you do?" Lia asked rhetorically. Still she thought it was for the best, maybe he didn't want her to feel insecure and haunted."Dahlia?" A gentle voice called from behind. She turned to see the queen standing close to her. Building up her confidence, she tried to suppress the tears and pretend nothing was wrong, but her confidence failed, her tears ran even more. "Nobody said it would be easy" The Queen comforted, sensing her fears and doubt."I know what transpired between You and Zaiya. Your conversations""You do?" Lia asked surprised."Yes, I
It all began in the heavens, with total darkness. Then, a flick of light appeared revealing a tiny magical flower possessing life and great powers. Every season, it blossoms and sheds; breeding gods of different abilities. Until one day it bore a wind force. That was the beginning of evil. To curb the great evil gone rogue, another greater god emerged, born of the same flower that held the universe up on its feet and gave it, it's form. History called him “The sick god”. His internal energy was too much that it made him sick and he searched for what to create to relieve himself. He made the magical kingdom of kings; from two third of his powers still, he could not help himself. He needed love to make him complete. Off he wandered to the nearest inhabitant planet where he met smaller gods seeking shelter from the wind force; an evil seeking to devour the soul. To all the planets he saved, he gathered together; they made up the kingdom of kings and he ruled them. Years after the ki
On earth, he gained fame, wealth and all one could ever need to lead a happy life. But he was angry, shattered and torn. He kept himself isolated in the dark. He is the night roamer, protector of earth and the beloved idol of millions. PRESENTLY“Wake up! It’s your first day at work, better don’t be late!” Katy yelled, bringing the alarm close to her ear. Lia pushed her aside and stands up sluggishly, dragging her feet as she heads to the bathroom. “Cold water again?” She murmured as she pushed the shower button. She got admitted into the university last week; she knew she needed money to make it work. Two days ago, she got a job from one of the job sites she stumbled upon as a house keeper. She was selected, interviewed, and followed by the resumption date, Monday, eight o'clock am.As the shower flushed down the soapy foams on her hair, so many thoughts ran through her mind like what to wear, what to do with her hair, and all the girls stuff. As she contemplated, Katy’s voice br
It was a bright and sunny morning. The entire school yard blazed with noises and busy feet of people, finding their ways to their deal of the day. Some engaged in different sporting activities, while others piled up in different corners having fun. Lia made her way to class, selecting her footsteps timidly as she walked. She could tell all eyes were scanning oddly at her, as she wandered confusedly from one school building to another, looking for the DEAN's office in-between building which looked pretty much alike. Everything seemed quite different from high school, only a few persons noticed the new girl in class. After few days of studying the environment, she noticed there were four categories of people in the school “The rude guys, the rich guys, the popular guys and the quiet guys" often referred to as the scapegoat. “Really, things aren't too different from high school after all, just some few matured faces and things done a little bit in an advanced way” she thought with a
As she walks into class, the strange guy of few days ago was seated not too far from the window. Of course, that was his regular position. She tried not to look and pretend he wasn't there at all, at least for once in her life. But her eyes would not cooperate, she failed herself as her eyes were constantly drifting and lurking around him, paying attention to every details about him. When she accidentally made eye contact with him, she shivered with fright and averted her gaze as fast as she could. But the weird feelings in her heart were not exempted from this, It was as if time froze, trapping her in the ensnarement of those cold and ruthless eyes of his, like a spell.In as much as she wanted to retain the beautiful memory of their eye contact locked in her head, she could vividly remember the dangers she saw in those eyes. That one contact, yet it was so piercing and domineering, like he intends to push her into his submission with those stares.“He is always staring at me, but
She shopped for some Allium bulbs, coupled with some other necessary stuffs to ward off the malicious auras, hovering all about the mansion. As she hesitates, looking for more useful things to buy, she stumbles upon a woman with red hair and awkward looks. Without difficulties, one could tell from her tattered appearance that she was ....! Lia paused and stared at the woman, looking for the best word to categorize her, Insane or weird wouldn't be too much to call her. She quickly apologizes for the collision, and was about to proceed her way, when the weird and tattered woman grabs on to her wrist. Then, leans in and whispers something to Lia."Do you think this meeting was a coincidence?" She asks unexpectedly. Without waiting for Lia's response, she answers her own question. "No, it is not! It couldn't be, for nothing happens out of the ordinary! The path which you must follow has been predetermined, as well as this fated meeting which has been mapped out today. But do not fret
The next day after school, she snuck into the mansion and opens the door, even if her key card fell from her a couple of times, because of her trembling hands. Walking into the kitchen, she patrolled around it quietly, waiting for the anticipated ghost to make an entrance. As she did this, she blended the garlic and sprinkled it all over the windows and doors. She did not forget to toss some bulbs into the tall flowers and the fields. There after, she sits confidently and awaits the result, with her focus fixed on the restricted areas. But after thirty minutes of waiting in futility, she couldn't help but laugh at her silly self. What was she even doing? Could she be able to fish out a ghost or a demon with just some few bulbs of garlic and a gas spray? She thought, stuck in the middle of her fruitless plan, not knowing whether to continue or abort. "Maybe Katy was right, i am the one being weird here. Engaging in a battle with nothing but the other silly, scared me; is a glaring s
