“I need to see if the man named Pacular Whisker is still alive?” Aubrey spoke softly to Hades as he led the two of us to the dining hall of hell.God Hades thought for a moment, then suddenly his eyes narrowed, sharp eyebrows also arched; he seemed to be extremely annoyed but in a moment he returned to his original cold expression. He stood in front of the door of the room, which was marked as the dining room, and without entering, the three of us turned in the same direction to another place."This is the library of life-and-death books, I came here when I stole the life-and-death book you saw earlier." Aubrey quietly explained to me.My feeling at that time didn't know how to describe it, the feeling of pride and fear at the same time took place in my body. I'm a goblin, of course I'm not supposed to be in the life-and-death book and now a goblin like me is in hell and is about to enter the room containing those life-and-death books. Hades looked at me with cold eyes, he always look
“What will be the sacrifice this time?” Enphinius asked“We need to find that child's soul. The child carrying the spirit of the River Styx, Aubrey Gray." Pacular replied, sipping some porridge but the corners of his mouth felt bitter. “I was once married to a woman named Drusilla Gray, she had a son named Aubrey Gray. My hunch tells me that this boy's soul is very special, it contains half the soul of the River Styx."“But after such a long time has passed, the boy is probably dead, too. It does not have immortality like us. That kid is just a normal person.” Enphinius asked again.“Yes, that child is not immortal like us, but that child is the son of the god who rules over death, Hades. Perhaps for some reason, that child was taken away by Hades and made him immortal. I saw him walking with my brother, Hector Sparker.”This name is like a cut in Pacular's heart, for thousands of years he has not forgotten his younger brother. Both are alive, both are immortal in different ways. If h
“I remember…” I whispered, my head still throbbing. “That man named Pacular and that horrible day. Memories of Elena too…”Everything is really clear before my eyes like a stream of memories. In it I saw Elena and I sitting on the hill together and how happy we were until that terrible day, the day I lost my senses and ate the girl I loved, my Elena. I saw in my hand she was holding Elena's blood-stained heart, it was still hot, I could even feel its beat. I ate part of my heart and by the time I realized it, it was too late. Elena's body has cooled down and in front of me is just a body that has lost its soul.“Elena…my heart…That wicked demon, Pacular Sparker.” I put my hand over my heart. Now the pain in the head is not enough to cover the pain in the heart. I gradually realized it all, ever since that name appeared in my head, the name of the devil has turned me into a monster, a minion of the devil and also my beloved brother Pacular. I feel like I'm crying, but I'm not. I was in
Enphinius sat at a roadside cafe along the Mars neighborhood, seemingly waiting for something. Smiling slightly, Enphinius held a newspaper in his hand, wrapped with something inside. All the people around did not notice the tattooed man full of body and full of dirt like Enphinius, perhaps avoiding such people has become a natural human reflex, so when he saw it, Enphinius, everyone unconsciously regarded him as invisible.Enphinius stood up when he saw someone walking slowly. He also quickly left the cafe, didn't forget to put a hundred dollar bill on the table and walked quickly towards that person."Oh my God!" Enphinius cried out, but the sound was very low, enough for the other person to hear. That person also panicked and ran over and caught Enphinius."Are you okay? Sorry, I've been busy lately so I didn't notice that someone was coming. I'm so sorry." The other also hurriedly apologized profusely, even though Enphinius did not notice his attitude."Miss Vivian Layer, isn't it
"Are you awake?"Aubrey opened his eyes to find he was in a warm room. It seemed to be the room of the goddess Persephone, because he could hear the scent of flowers in the air. Aubrey was tired, he couldn't even open his eyes, he could only open them slightly. The scent of lily in the room made him feel comfortable, not too harsh but not too light."Where is this?" Aubrey groaned, maybe he was still in pain so his face was wrinkled, his legs numb as if there was a big mass on top of him. “Why am I here?”“This is my room, son. It's a heartless father to see his son like that, but this time I have to protect my husband, it was really hard for him this time." The goddess Persephone lifted Aubrey's head, then gently fed him from the hot spoon. "I've reheated the holy wine and some bread, eat some, Aubrey. You have become a lot weaker since we met that year.”“Uncle Hector…” Aubrey asked weakly, as if he didn't care about himself. “Did you find Uncle Hector, right?"Goddess Persephone si
I felt myself drifting between an unknown place of space and time. In this place it's just me and a wasteland. I wandered alone in a vast sky as if the whole world was only me. I feel light, but my heart is heavy. It's strange!"Is any body here?"I cried out, hoping someone would hear me, but the only response was sounds coming from somewhere. I know that's my echo. I remember myself jumping into the River Styx and when I opened my eyes I realized I was here. I tried to find a way out of this place but all around me was sand and sand. There was no life in this place, not even a blade of weed or a cactus. I wandered around, but in my head I didn't think of anything. I feel so heavy inside, it makes me move and I can wander in this unknown space.“Aubrey…Ancanta…” I silently called out the names of the people I knew.Everything was still the same, just the way I came. A lonely silence. Actually, I thought to myself that I deserved this, I deserved to be punished like this. Memories flo
Watson looked at his burning house, he rushed forward in a panic when it was indeed his house on Mars Street that was on fire. The fire was three meters high, the flames were so large that a billowing black smoke could be seen. Watson let go of his hand in panic, dropping both the bottle of wine and the bouquet of flowers. The wine bottle fell to the ground and broke, causing the liquid in the wine bottle to flow near the mouth of the fire, catching fire more strongly, everything became more and more chaotic and scary than ever.“Dad…Mum…You two…Where are you?”Watson shouted loudly, as if his scream had echoed in the flickering flames. Watson ran him to his house, he hurried inside, ignoring the fire that was getting bigger and bigger. The inside of the house was even more chaotic than the outside, all the furniture was scorched and thrown all over the place. It seemed that a riot had just happened, so the space around him became so messy. Watson ran into the bedroom and then to the
I woke up in a big sandy beach, my mood seems to be worse today than yesterday. But I also don't know how long I've been here, maybe my time here is meaningless because I will forever be in this tasteless place. I was tired of looking at the wind and then at the sky, since the day I met Elena again, my heart has changed a lot. It was true that I didn't want Aubrey to interfere in my affairs, but a part of me wanted him to be able to fight with me.“Aubrey, what are you doing now? Will you remember me?” I asked myself as I asked Aubrey in the air, “I'm thinking of you. I feel this place without you, everything seems so boring but if I were here, would you miss me? In fact, I didn't want to go back to the real world at all because there was Greedius waiting for me like a wolf looking for prey. He was still waiting for me as if I were the best prey in all of his hunts. I saw myself and the people of Hill looking at me, hating me because I had become weak and begging the help of a demon.
