The breeze was fresh. The surroundings were relaxed.The moon was brighter than ever along with the stars twinkling around it.The two hearts were beating in a rhythm but there was an uncomfortable silence within them. Megara sat on the rooftop beside Evandros. They had an arm's distance between them. None of them utter a single word. Evandros looked up at the incredibly exquisite sky before looking back at her. She was also looking up but there was this sightless green orbs of her which kept aimlessly roaming around.Evandros eyes softened as he continued to stare at her. Those long brown locks of hers mixed with silver strands made her look nothing less exquisite than the sky up there but...she...her beauty is there as always but she has depleted to an exceptional level.Is it because of her spiritual core?Oh, what has he done to his strong Megara Daybrace? There was none like her. Her beautiful features along with that rough and tough personality of hers. That authority used to
Love and animosity are two contrasting phrases but both with such a profound abysm.There was a time both of them experienced these two sentiments for each other but then came the remorse crashing between these two pillars. Leaving them shattered. Tearing their souls and leaving them with nothing but sorrow.Craving for those precious remembrances when they think of history.Driving away from the remorse...the remorse generated from their past activities. They silently sat on the rooftop. None of them was willing to go back. Sleep was nowhere around them. They just wanted to enjoy this peaceful weather that finally soothed their souls."You remember we used to sit like this on the rooftop...back in those training days. You used to tell me about your daily routines." She said, a soft smile grazing her face. His eyes slightly enlarged and his heart began to beat like crazy when he caught that faint smile on her lips. A soft smile grazed his lips as well as his eyes twinkled beneath the
Settling down among the crowd in the training ground. Agnes huffed, her orbs swiftly moving around and she jolted up straight when she saw Evandros coming towards her with a cheerful smile on his complexion. He was wearing a blue robe with a blue band around his forehead. His silky black hair was braided and tied up in a high ponytail. Agnes threw a panicked glance at Evenor and Marco who were occupied gambling on who will gain a victory and nearly half of them were gambling on Evandros Linya due to his courageous performance in the past days but there are disciples way stronger than him here. There is a rumor going around about Evandros Linya.People say that he doesn't know how to use his magic properly. Some people fear that if he came to the point of using his magic with full power (which he obviously will at some point) then he is invincible. Agnes shifted on the chair looking away, pretending that she didn't notice him coming towards her. "Sister Agnes?" Evandros called her o
"What?" Megara stared at Agnes in shock. "You told him that?" She questioned, abruptly standing up from the buffer she was seated on. "Pardon me. If I didn't give him any expectation, he would have forfeited the contest and performed very poorly which might have led him to get berated by his father." Agnes said, slightly stepping back from Megara. Megara stared at Agnes with a 'fed up' gaze. Megara sighed and looked out of the window. It was dark outside and almost past dinner time. "You meet him at this hour. Please, go. I don't know what you're going through and I won't propel you to tell me but at least go there. Don't converse much, if you don't want to. Your presence alone will be enough to make him happy." Agnes said, almost begging. Megara licked her lower lip before bobbing her head. Agnes took a whiff of solace as she stepped ahead and clutched Megara's shoulder. "No matter what. I will always be with you." Agnes enunciated with a delighted smile on her face as she tightly
Megara gazed down at their connected hands. "You don't like your father, right?" She questioned and he slightly tilted his head at her. "I thought you already knew about that." He said but she did not utter a word and just continued to stare at their hands. "Yes, ...I don't like my father." He confessed. "Why?" She asked. "Because he doesn't like me either. He loathes me and my mom. He treats her inadequately. I don't like it." He continued. "Why doesn't he like you?" She asked and Evandros furrowed. "Because I don't want the throne. I want to choose a different path. I want to be a physician. I want to protect lives and my mother supports me in this that's why he doesn't like us. He says I have a substantial spirit within me and that I can be the strongest Linya in the history of our bloodline but what's wrong in having another kid you know? The one who actually desires to take over the throne. My mother did get expectant after me but somehow she ended up having a miscarriage. I kn
"Lord Linya, You can't fool me."She said in a calm tone. Ezekiel Linya who was sitting on the buffer occupied cleaning a specific diamond halted on her words. He slowly looked up at her through his thick lashes. Seeing the young girl stand so dauntlessly in front of him almost made him snicker at the audacity but he liked that attitude. The kid was rather hard to manipulate. The left side of his lips curved up as he put the diamond on the table in front of him, giving the girl his full concentration. "Come clear." He demanded, making Megara almost snort but she kept herself low because she was in no place to disdain this man."I just want to say one thing, I don't care about the stone neither I care about your wife. It's your obligation because you are an elder. My only concern is Evandros." She said and further continued. "I don't care if he possesses a demon. As long as he is on the right path, I will be by his side." She said and he cocked a brow at her. 'Words won't work on her
AT NIGHT* "Yeah and I won't refute that he is handsome," Agnes said, taking a slight sip of her liquor. She was bragging about the same guy she used to despise. Look at her getting all fired up while talking about him."Just an advice, don't fall for him yet," Megara said and Agnes scowled while pouring herself another cup. "I know right?" She said and was about to chug down another cup of liquor but Blossom put her fingers on the cup making Agnes pause midway.She quietly took the cup out of her hand and swallowed the liquor in it. "You've already drunk a lot. You need to wake up early, drinking more will lead you to another round of detention." She said and Agnes huffed in annoyance before getting up from the buffer. Instead of walking toward the door, she came towards Megara and bent down beside her, and with that, she pecked her cheek."I love this Megara." She said, sounding and looking barfly. Megara was taken aback by her words as she watched the girl sprint out of the room as
Two days later* Everything was peaceful in the sect and usual activities were being carried out without any hindrance. Just like this, usual practices were being carried out generally as well. The sun was up, gleaming brighter than ever, making things difficult for the people standing beneath it. With half-opened eyelids and heavy heads, all of them sharpened their martial art skills until they were told to rest. Megara trudged towards the river and bent down. She soaks her napkin in the river water before squeezing all the water out.With a deep sigh, she wiped her sweat away with the wet fabric before doing the soaking process once again. With that, she squeezed all the water out of the cloth and stood up. Throwing the wet cloth on her head she ambled towards Agnes who was sitting under the tree. Agnes forwarded her bamboo filled with water towards Megara who was approaching her. Without a word she grabbed the bamboo from her hand and took three large gulps, finishing all the wat
