“This…” Henry tried to find appropriate words but there were none, he thought the chaos in the capital was something to worry about, especially with the way Eren was acting, the shadows’ lord who was flying near the castle chose to remain silent since they found the shredded bodies, but the moment the report arrived about the holy tower, he knew things were going to be more than just chaotic.
“I…” once again, he wanted to say something, anything to break that unbearable silence that settled on the group of people, humans and demons, he was with but nothing came out, there was nothing there to say, only a hope that his friend would remain rational and not jump to conclusions before they find out the whole truth about the matter, but a single look at Eren’s gloomy expression made his hopes flatter, not that it was a surprising at all considering the scene that greeted their eyes.
They were all children!
Eren stared
“What are you talking about?” the guard who was reporting to Sara asked in both confusion and horror, unable to believe what the demoness just said and her intentions of taking their princess with them and have her killed, at first, he thought he heard wrong, but the intense way the demoness was glaring at them, as if she couldn’t wait to unleash hell upon their heads, made him realize that she meant every single word.“And does your Lord know that the princess, who is his friend’s sister, is among the ones you are bringing?” Sara on the other hand asked calmly, her eyes seeing the insides of the demoness who was preparing herself for battle, which meant that things were far too serious than she thought, to the point where they couldn’t be solved peacefully.“And do you think our Lord cares about her identity when she is a suspect?” Andrea gave the black-haired girl a vicious smile, it was fun toying with her, throw
Monster!Deviant!Freak!The names kept on calling after her even when she ran as fast as she could, her legs carrying to an unknown destination, she didn’t know why she ran away, or why did she obey the mocking voice inside her head, even when she knew it wasn’t a friendly one nor did it wish her any good, all she knew was that she was standing out in the open streets, but felt as if the walls of the shack were enclosing on her once again, with nothing but the bitter painful reality suffocating her.Sara knew that the moment of reality would come sooner or later, the time when her cover would be exposed and the ones she cared for would know her reality, her lie, however, it was something she avoided thinking about, hoping that she wouldn’t be there in the first place to witness it, and for it to happen so soon, and in such a way when she didn’t even expect it or prepared her heart for the immense pain the revelation wa
It was all…surreal! And yet so bittersweet…Eren looked down at the girl sleeping on his chest, her beautiful face marred with the scars that told volumes about the amount of pain and agony this frail looking girl suffered, her face, tired with dark circles around her eyes, yet at the same time so relaxed and peaceful, it was a sight he didn’t see in so long, two years to be exact, when she was sleeping peacefully on this same particular bed in that same estate, the irony!Another thing that he found ironic was that even with all the years, all the tragedies, all the changes, Sara’s biggest concern was and still the acceptance of her family, her breaking was enough to prove it, and it made him think that she didn’t change that much after all, that the darkness she covered herself with didn’t reach to that pure soul of hers, and that for years, her heart was covered with a layer of ice, but it was never frozen.Ho
For some strange reason, Eren found himself in love with the view of his fair lady standing tall while he was on his knees in front of her, it didn’t feel degrading to him in any way, if anything, it felt as watching the full moon in the sky, or watching a temple where he is to worship, with that delicate dress she had in that showed how beautifully she had matured into the most perfect woman, the black short hair that framed her small pale face, the scars that told the story of her fall and rise, and the purity of her eyes revealing the universe that existed in that one small mass of beauty she was, she was gorgeous in every way, and watching her, just watching her, felt so satisfying the point where he couldn’t take his eyes of her.He knew she was hiding something; she knew that beside the pieces of truth that she kept to herself about last night, she was hiding something about that morning, he heard her heartbeats and even smelled her blood in the air, but by
Sara opened her eyes slowly and stared with confusion at the place she was in, wondering how did she get there, she was almost certain that she blacked out in her room after looking at the mirror, the child God wasn’t there, but something else was, she felt as if the floor suddenly disappeared from under her feet, and then everything went black, only for her to wake up in the forest.Not just any forest, Sara thought as she stood up, checking herself for the silver locks she saw in her previous dream, which were missing, her hands were dirty and smelled like grass and dew, her hair was short and black, and her scars were prominent as always, the air was humid and cold, the sounds were clear.It was not a dream, and yet, something was off about it, and not just the unknown way she ended up in the forest, recognizing the few darker trees and even the distant sound of the river, it was the edge of the dark forest, the border between the human kingdom and the shadows
It wasn’t a storm, no! Eren thought it was the sky breaking above their heads announcing the end of the world, it was all grey and threatening above them as dark clouds invaded the horizon, there was no rain, no snow, not even the dew that accompanied such weathers, there were only terrifyingly and abnormally strong winds with deafening thunder and striking lightning that split the air like mad rage, destroying whatever was in their way.“What in the…”“My lord, we got the reports from all empires and the human lands, the storm is there too!”“What?” Eren’s eyes widened in horror, for one, a massive storm such as this one was in no means nature’s doing, it was too massive and unnatural, and so sudden, the lightning seemed as if it was the spears of vengeful spirits attacking the poor lives that resided underneath the sky, it seemed like a…divine punishment, a deity pouring its rage on them all,
No...No...the words got stuck in Sara's as she tried to fight off the stranger who grabbed her throat, cutting off her air supplies and slamming her head forcefully on the crystal roof, with her divine half exhausted and pushed to the back, her human self couldn't resist the assault and partially gave up to darkness, unable to see what was happening to her but able to feel it.The weight on her abdomen, the man was straddling her, his filthy hand moving from her throat to her face, touching it delicately and tracing her deep scars, the touches felt more like caresses, soft, slow, and disgusting..."What an interesting little thing you are, Hybrid, I would have kept you for my own pleasure if I could!" Even in her semi-conscious state, Sara was able to differentiate the voice from the other three she heard before in her dream, the man was not one of them, which meant he was the second generation God Eren warned her about...Nov...Eren...The though
Water...Sara wanted to voice out but she couldn't, all that left her lips was a shallow and agonized breath, she was so cold and bare to the eyes and breeze, her wounds felt like burns, painful as they bled out, slowly, not even giving her the mercy of a quick death.Drain her... take her energy...kill her...were the random words she managed to comprehend, there were many others but she couldn't focus on any, her head felt so heavy and her mind was clouded, she didn't want that end, nor did she want to die, not then, there were still few things to do, few confessions to make, and many mistakes to rectify.That, and the fact that she wanted to see him, more than
