It felt more like a shadow of a nightmare than a memory. Beth could not remember much of it but she surely knew that it happened. She had scars on her skin to remind her of it and she had a man.
Philip reminded her of the incident. If it wasn't of him, she might have forgotten everything at all. It was not an easy journey and she remembered how every patient went through in her life and it created a trauma.
In fact, she could never forget the nightmare. She lost so much on those - patients who thrived and the blood, she still dreamed of them. The gush of blood as if it was flooding and the screaming and the smoke and the arid smell of burnt blood.
If it wasn't for Philip, she might have died already while sleeping. One time, he was not there with her, so, it was Mark who woke her up. Her sweat was running down her whole body as gravity pulled it down of her while her voice was inaudible. She wanted to talk but her body refused her command. So, she struggled.<
The Night Children were immortal except if they starved themselves of blood for three Hunts or they staked their hearts. Miranda overlooked at the floating terrace she had on the Tower of Constants. People roaming were like tiny ants, even tinier than ants, below them. The city lights looked like stars on land, glistening and glimmering against the darkness which flooded them. If humans had any idea of what happened on the magical world right now, they would understand what was happening to them too. And, it would scare them. It happened that they didn't. They needed something to hold on into so that there would never be chaos on the mortal realm when they knew that what they believed in had actually did not have any meaning at all. Imagine if that happened. There would be no meaning of God. And, there were so many gods down there but everyone was sure of who they believed in and no one would claim they were wrong. Let them be. Miranda said to herself. It was
Kristina felt the tension in the room when Constants started to question her ability to lead a group. She smiled gracefully at the thought since it made her even stronger. In her mind, she was flying all across the galaxies, watching the earth from afar as it was waiting for what she would do with it. She was a Night Cat and she wasn't born from yesterday - she was there for all eternity like all the rest of the Constants in the room. She has just forgotten it and that all made the difference. Now, she made the same decision of damning their souls and she got the same advantage with them minus the years that she could not remember at all. It did not matter though. It was repeated history and she desired nothing of riches in the world. Some of the Constants were rich people running the world. That was the very reason why they became rich. They got the upper hand against their competitions and since it was repeated they knew exactly how to win. It was like repe
His last talk with Elena built some barriers between them. Elena avoided him and since, he noticed that the Time Palace's front door was never opened again - except when Elena came out. He took a scroll one night just to watch his army made their preparation for war. He saw that Elena's window was opened and he could see her standing in the terrace, looking over the place. She was watching too and somehow, it made him happy. She was still with him. That just only meant that she was not over with them too. The time had come and the long wait would soon be over. He waited for it patiently and now he would see what his preparation was made for. Los Barrios housed the most qualified magicians in the whole world. There were still out there who tried not to be seen and he respected their desires on that. But the numbers that stood with him was somehow spectacular. He could not blame if the others died on the trainings or some died on challenges. All those who remai
The seas of Jade Island was exceptional. He saw it everyday yet he still loved it. It was home. The home that he prepared so much to come back. In time travel, the traveler only had one chance to go in a particular time period. They could not go back when they had already visited it. And he had to visit it once - as the Phoenix indicated. He waited millinea for this - and he was there now. He smelt the breeze of the seas. The salty chill embraced him like a cloth and he loved to be there. The Mountains was never his home. It was his parents' home and not his. He reminisced the sick treatment his grandfather gave him. It was unfair and he must not told him what he found out in the middle of the forest. There, he learned not to mind other people's business anymore. As an Arium, he could not. He could feel people and it hurt him so much to know about the lies he was told about. He could not pretend that it didn't hurt him anymore. By the minute he heard one, he could fe
Highlands differed nothing from the modern world he had been. Politics played the same dirty trick of power and illusion. From where he stood, he could still smell the stink that fueled all rulers. It would be godsend if one could find just one who was not as greedy as of all he knew. It took too long for him to realize that. When he was still the Reign of Los Barrios, he was blinded by it. He knew it was all for good intentions but he now clearly saw the difference. Everything was personal. His grandfather was right on that and as long he kept his path clear of all the distractions, he would never lost his way towards it. He remembered his half-brother. Rudolf brought him there back in the past. It was a long time now that he almost forgotten his face and the memories started to fade. It shocked him that it was still clear to him even now. He lived different timelines in the future and what happened as of the moment was just a blur. He could say what was about to ha
It happened like a blur. One time, she was still hiding inside her Palace while wondering what Rudolf meant when he left her on Los Barrios For several nights, she kept on ways understanding everything about Time Magic. She had scattered all the books in the shelves and even in the whole library. But as limited as she was, she owned nothing to fast forward time and be done with the reading. Reading all of those would take eternity for her to finish and Rudolf said, as soon as possible. She did not have an ASAP and it throbbed her brain like crazy. She watched as everything unfolded in front of her. She disregarded Jason who kept trailing on her, asking for her favor on the coming war. Whatever Jason meant of the Dragon's Egg, it did not matter at all. The coveted egg was a mark and it was etched on her skin. If she could just take it off of her, she already did the first time she arrived on the Palace. The Mark burned on her skin and sometimes
She had been able to keep the tavern from Albert for so many years before she decided to show it to him. The very reason she hid it was because she had other transactions. She catered vampires and humans in the place for business. When Albert showed his interest to her, she knew that the hiding should end then.She invited him for pleasure. She had some thoughts on how he felt about her. They were both confused. They were immortal and they had quite a lot of time to figure out about their emotionShe marked her territory. The tavern was no longer a safe space and though Miranda was a friend now, she could not trust her yet. There were secrets better unknown to some. She decided to take some place in the forest near the waterfalls since there was a portal there. As legends told, a Siren was guarding the place and when there was a Siren, there was a gate it was keepinShe wanted to do her business where there was&nbs
With her white robe, she laced her sneakers and jogged towards the counter table to fetch her water. In one gulp, she emptied the liquid down and then heaved a deep breath.“You cannot join the challenge,” Jason scolded her. “It’s dangerous“I am a magician,” she said, getting her bag. “I am entitled to such privileges“What skills could you possibly contribute to the team? The challenge is too physical,” he advanced. “You are a time traveler, Elena“I’m still a traveler,” she defended. “I can travel just like you. Besides, why did you allow Fulenas to join if that were the skill requirement of the gameShe left him on the balcony. The last night was hard. They did not talk much. Jason slept in some other rooms in Dwelling Palace since Elena did not allow him access to enter inside the Time Palace
