"Terima kasih …. " 
Suara naga itu tidak sekasar tampilan tubuhnya. Sebaliknya, suaranya luar biasa merdu dan menyentuh hati seseorang, mirip seperti burung oriole tengkuk-hitam[1]. 
"Tuan, Tuan Putri, naga ini telah sadar." Serangga Kecil memanggil dengan gembira. Segera, Yun Luofeng dan Yun Xiao mendekat ke samping naga besar itu. 
Naga besar itu menatap pada Yun Luofeng tanpa menoleh dan tatapannya yang tak bergerak menyebabkan Yun Xiao tidak bisa menahan untuk mengerutkan keningnya. 
"Mengapa orang-orang itu mengejarmu?" Yun Luofeng melirik pada naga besar itu dan bertanya dengan nada suara malas. 
Ekspresi naga itu menggelap. "Orang-orang itu berasal dari Keluarga Cheng. Ketika sebelumnya nona muda sulung dari Keluarga Cheng bertemu dengan bahaya di luar, aku menyelamatkannya dan dia mengundangku ke Keluarga Cheng sebagai ucapan terima kasih. Kemudian, dia memberikanku sebuah sup yang sangat lezat."
"Setelah meminumnya, aku kehilangan kesadaranku dan baru tahu aku telah dikurung di dalam sangkar setelah aku tersadar. Setiap hari, mereka memaksaku untuk mengeluarkan sari darahku. Ketika aku tidak mau, mereka akan menusukku dengan pedang mereka dan membakarku dengan cap besi panas. Tak hanya itu, mereka bahkan mencabuti sisik nagaku." 
"Aku mengambil kesempatan dan melarikan diri ketika pertahanan mereka sedang lemah. Jika aku tidak bertemu denganmu, aku khawatir aku sudah akan menemui akhir yang mengerikan." 
Naga itu penuh dengan bekas luka dan beberapa bagian dari tubuhnya hilang sisik naganya, menyebabkan daging yang basah dengan darah terlihat. Melihat luka yang lama dan baru bersamaan, tubuh naga itu terlihat sangat menyedihkan. 
"Kau berkata, Keluarga Cheng yang melakukan ini?" Mata Wuyan berubah menjadi dingin dan bahkan napasnya menjadi cepat. Pergolakan emosinya sangat besar, membuat Yun Luofeng melirik pada Wuyan. Namun, Yun Luofeng tidak bertanya apa-apa. Semua orang punya rahasianya sendiri dan karena Wuyan tidak ingin membicarakannya, Yun Luofeng tidak akan mengoreknya ….
Meski begitu, Yun Luofeng bisa melihat bahwa Keluarga Cheng ini berhubungan dekat dengan Wuyan. Mungkin, bisa jadi Wuyan berasal dari keluarga ini dan orang yang menyakitinya juga berada di sana ….
"Sekelompok orang-orang ini keterlaluan!" Serangga Kecil berubah menjadi merah karena marah sementara dia berkata dengan ganas. "Menurut pendapatku, mereka yang berasal dari Keluarga Cheng tidak pantas untuk menjadi manusia! Mereka bahkan lebih parah dari kami binatang buas spiritual!" 
Setidaknya, binatang buas spiritual tidak akan melakukan tindakan seperti menggigit tangan pada orang yang telah menyelamatkan mereka. 
Naga besar itu mengedipkan matanya. "Namaku Long Luo, siapa namamu?" 
"Ini adalah Tuan Yun Xiao dan orang yang menyelamatkanmu adalah Nyonyaku, Yun Luofeng. Walaupun Tuanku adalah seorang pria, Nyonyaku yang memegang kendali di keluarga ini. Ke depannya, kau hanya harus menjilat Nyonya. Sedangkan namaku …. " Serangga Kecil terbatuk ringan. 
Nama apa yang harus ia berikan pada dirinya untuk menarik perhatian naga betina ini? Bagaimanapun juga, nama Serangga Kecil pasti tidak akan bisa! 
Namun, sebelum Serangga Kecil berhasil untuk memikirkan sebuah nama yang dominan, Yun Luofeng mengucapkan. "Kau bisa memanggilnya Serangga Kecil." 
Pada saat itu, ekspresi Serangga Kecil sangat hitam sementara pandangannya terhadap Yun Luofeng dipenuhi dengan kebencian. 
Serangga Kecil ingin mencoba merayu naga betina ini namun mengapa Nyonyanya menusuk dia dari belakang? Mungkinkah, dia harus menjadi lajang seumur hidupnya? 
Long Luo terkikik namun tidak sengaja lukanya robek dan dia menarik napas dingin karena kesakitan. 
"Pulihkan dirimu di sini terlebih dahulu dan setelah kau sembuh, aku akan mengirimmu pergi." Yun Luofeng melirik pada Long Luo dan berkata. 
Long Luo tertegun dan menundukkan kepalanya sedikit. Menggunakan suara yang sangat lemah. "Aku tidak ingin kembali. Aku ingin bepergian bersama denganmu."

Yun Luofeng, si jenius dari Sekolah Medis Huaxia, meninggal karena suatu kecelakaan, dan jiwanya menempel pada Nona Sulung yang tidak berguna dari Kediaman Jenderal di Benua Longxia.
Tidak hanya si sampah yang tidak mempunyai bakat di bidang seni sastra maupun seni bela diri, tetapi Yun Luofeng juga berdada besar tanpa mempunyai otak, angkuh dan egois. Tidak cukup bagi Yun Luofeng dengan hanya memiliki tunangan yang sempurna seperti Putra Mahkota. Dia juga menarik paksa seorang pria tampan di depan umum, menyebabkan Putra Mahkota membatalkan pertunangannya.
Namun, si sampah Yun Luofeng tidak bisa menahan pukulan ini, jadi dia gantung diri untuk mengakhiri hidupnya.
Ketika membuka matanya kembali, dia bukanlah nona sulung yang tidak berguna seperti sebelumnya.
Dengan kontrak Kode Dewa Medis, kepemilikan ladang herbal spiritual, dan tangan ajaib yang dapat menghidupkan kembali orang mati, keahlian medisnya akan mengejutkan dunia!
Mulai dari keluarga kerajaan, bangsawan di atas pedagang dan keluarga yang tua dan berpengaruh, semua akan bersaing untuk menjilatnya. Bahkan Yang Mulia Putra Mahkota, yang sebelumnya membatalkan pertunangannya, datang kembali mengetuk pintu Yun Luofeng dengan keinginan untuk kembali?
Dalam hal ini, seorang pria misterius akhirnya tidak bisa menahan lagi dan menyatakan, “Siapapun yang berani datang dan mengganggu wanitaku, biarkan mereka datang tetapi mereka tidak akan pernah kembali!"



The group of four men was walking briskly amidst a sea of gargantuan trees with canopies connecting them together. It was already noon, and the sun was high upon their heads. Yet, the surroundings were cooling, and the temperature was fair. Three of them carried a big backpack each while another one, a bronze bare-chested man with short curly hair, carried another man on his back. His pace was a tad slower than the rest. The person being piggybacked was slightly pale, and he looked weak. However, he was adamantly holding a GPS while observing the surrounding vigilantly.

Around them, a group of bronzed bare-chested men was walking while sending out signals in the form of bird sounds to each other. Most probably, they were alerting each other with information ahead.

"Tanahan, I'm still unsatisfied! I understand that your Elder wanted us out, but why must we let Mat go through this ordeal?!" Rob's indignant voice resounded in the woods, as he turned to look at his pitiful co-worker. It hadn't even been 24 hours since they reached the village, but that single capricious elder had kicked all of them out, their client included! It really ticked him off!

"We are deeply regretful of this matter. In fact, we hope that Mr. Arash could stay longer. However, this is the Exalted Elder's order. Even Pak Jaya couldn't rule out Tok Batin Silihan's orders." Tanahan was carrying Mat's backpack for him. He too felt ashamed by their lack of hospitality. They were used to entertain guests for days since it was quite hard for outsiders to reach their village. All of them would have been weary along the way and would've taken more than a few days to recuperate. Setting a good rep among the tourists will earn them quite the revenue too as they will bring more adventurous tourists over after that. They could also barter more provisions with them.

"It's alright. Dr. Chang had checked me before we go. No complications after administering the antivenom. I already received a referral letter from him too. I just need to go directly to the nearest general hospital after we send Mr. Arash to his car. Don't sweat the small stuff, Rob." Mat tried to diffuse the tension in the air. He didn't like to become a burden in the group. Pity the aborigine who had to carry him. Although he was fit and was quite small in nature, he was at least 70 kgs. It was his first time being piggybacked by others for such a long time. They didn't even change people.

Nonetheless, he could see that the young aborigine wasn't even sweating or had a labored breath. He must be used to carrying heavy things. Mat could only sigh in helplessness as he tapped the aborigine's shoulder guiltily. "Brother, we can stop and rest for a while if you're tired. I'm really sorry for all the trouble."

"It's alright. I can still keep on going." The aborigine smiled jovially, revealing a series of pearly white teeth. Upon closer look, he was actually chewing on some kind of herb calmly. 

Arash was quiet along the way. Deep inside, he felt guilty. 

Tok Silihan didn't actually kick them out. Truthfully, Tok Silihan had tried to persuade him to stay on multiple occasions. Still, he vehemently refused because of his children. No one else knew about his talk with both Tok Silihan and Pak Jaya that morning. Once the discussion was over, both elders gave out instructions to the villagers waiting outside. Lo and behold, one hour later, he was already on his way back, with everyone in tow. He knew the other two were forced out together to accompany him along the way. It was Tok Silihan's way of showing he cared. If not, there won't be this many villagers following them hiking for three hours, all the way to their jeep. The other two guides served as a companion to make sure he reached his home safely for the rest of the way. 

Looking at his own right knee, he could only sigh in gratefulness. He could match the others' pace this time with nearly no problems at all. He wondered what did Tok Silihan do to make him feel like he had become younger internally by ten years. He really needed to find a way to transport Thai fragrant rice and the ready-to-eat meals to the village the next time he came. However, he still didn't discuss this yet with Rob and Mat. Will they still be willing to accompany him again despite all the ordeal they had gone through with him?

[It's going to be okay.] Arash whispered internally after he took a deep breath of fresh air.

He felt like he could almost see the light at the end of the tunnel. Tok Silihan's ponderous look was still fresh in his mind. It was as if he had a clue! He was eager to meet up with Tok Silihan's descendant, the Ramlee fellow, or something. He felt that he could get his answer soon. Tonight, he was going to sleep with his beloved's fairy-like lullaby again after accompanying his two little girls. He was glad that his ad hoc adventure seemed to produce some kind of results. At least, all the pain and suffering were worth it.

...

"Mom, do you have a minute?" Shiro poked his head through the finely carved rectangular entrance of the cave.

"Yes, sweetie? Anything?" Hana was absentmindedly playing with the clingy little baby bird. The baby bird was making its adorable 'pi-pi' noises as it tried to nip the luxuriant tail of Markisah. Markisah had just dropped by with a hefty amount of mind-cleansing spirit fruits again. Together with that, she brought with her a single pink colored glowing leaf.

Markisah was jumping around and make a series of loud chirps unhappily while looking at Shiro, "That fat creature is trying to pull my tail feathers! Tell it to stop!!!"

Shiro made a weird face to the frantic bird and walked in. He expertly walked around Hana and swished his tail, to sit while enveloping Hana within with his body and tail. "Mom, the two birds are not playing. The naughty little one is trying to hurt Markisah." He helped the yellow passerine bird a little since she did bring so many sweet Bidara fruits. Shiro had been pining for some honeyed coconut water sorbet with chunks of these mind-cleansing fruits. However, they had been so busy as of late, and their stock of the spirit fruits was long gone. He already had the recipe from Mom; he could whip everything up himself later and made Mom awed and happy at the same time. He knew Mom would be very gratified when someone appreciated what she taught. 

"Aiyo, really?" Hana immediately caught Pi-chan's leg and pulled the naughty little bird into her embrace. "Sorry, Markisah. I thought Pi-chan was just playing with you." She smiled apologetically at the little yellow bird. The bird was like a new perso... ehem, a new bird. After her tail had been pulled off by the brown bird, the new ones formed were extremely long, beautiful, and luxuriant, just like the bird-of-paradise (1). She even developed some sort of orangey feather crown on top of her head. Markisah was slowly turning into a full-fledged spirit avian. Everyone, including Hana, knew that, except for the bird herself, of course. Although they had communication problems, Hana will never ask Markisah to be her soul-slave. In a way, Markisah was her benefactor. She had saved her when she has shown her the way towards the Crystal-veined stream on their first encounter. She didn't want Markisah to be bound to her in life and death. Although Hana was fickle and her conviction was like a weed, she was someone who holds dearly to personal sentiments and feelings of gratitude. 

"Please tell Hana the pink leaf is a present from Suria. With it, she could reach the highest tier of our sacred tree where we lived. Without it, the defensive measures will attack any intruders, no matter how strong they are." Markisah chirped with a low voice while she looked around with worry. She was worried that her words will be heard by the notorious snake. That cheap fellow was so easily offended for the littlest thing.

"Anything else?" Green veins were beeping over Shiro's head, but the pitiful bird didn't notice. He hated when someone else acted all high and mighty towards his mistress when they were the ones asking for help.

"Don't forget to bring whatever needed for the advancement. The sooner, the better." Markisah added helpfully.

Shiro was eerily quiet after that. But, Markisah could suddenly feel her blood froze when she was being stared at with a sharp gaze. "Give the leaf to me. It seemed that that pompous bird needed an extra lesson from me."

"Ahh?" o___O||| 

Markisah didn't know what she did that made Shiro so pissed off. She could only keep mum that she might have screwed her friend again in some way.

...

"Done discussing, deary?"

"Yeah, Mom."

"Is there anything?"

"Can I have some cuddles too?" Shiro blushed a little. It's the first time he became quite vocal. He felt a bit disgruntled that Hana had been focusing on the baby bird all day long and had disregarded him. Suddenly he knew what Bro Ku must felt before. His position had definitely gone down a step lower, while this shameless little bird dominated the highest hierarchy.

Hana smiled happily and placed little Pi-chan beside her. She gave the shy fox a five-minute cuddle and rubbed his head vigorously to make him happy. Shiro's tail swished rapidly in happiness and contentment. Not knowing what to do, the abandoned little bird waddled off while losing its steps for a couple of times towards the already-properly stacked mountain of pearls at the back of the cave. It then immediately jumped in and feasted without reserve.

Hana, Shiro and Markisah, "... " O______O

"Again?!!"

Note from Authors:
Hi, Mr and Mrs Mooncat here. Our work is quite different with distinct local flavors as it is based on our ancestral home in a small Asian country, Malaysia (although currently, we're residing on the moon). Hence, expect a lot of footnotes, local food, places, and slangs within ;) It's a fun way to get to know Malaysia from the eyes of the locals. Besides that, we also employ simple easy-to-understand English sentences to accommodate a vast spectrum of readers with very minor elements of romance. It is very friendly to both men and women, young and old without any harsh elements (yet). We love writing and illustrating ASTHW; it has already become our prized golden child (apart from our two toddlers at home haha). Recently, we have started writing ASTHW side stories besides the usual auxiliary articles for ASTHW. Interested readers could only access them either by subscribing with us on Patreon, or sponsoring a chapter through Ko-fi. Please check our respective sites for more details.

"Yi-er, be sure to come back here with Xiao Yu. Remember to urge this man no matter what because we all know he only visits his parent's home once in a blue moon. If he's with you, then we can see him once in a while. We're leaving him in your care and watch him carefully. We don't want him to collapse because of his workaholic stubbornness."
Qin Ting reminded Su Ci Yi one morning where when they are set to go home. Time swiftly flies and her one week vacation is over. Although, she's pretty sure that she only did is to cultivate, eat, teach her new recruit disciple and idle all day. It was such a warm and homey feeling once in a while.
She didn't know if she could go back again since this time is only a facade. Now, she would leave this matter to Qin Yu since she's out of this after this event.
And worst, this couple even asked her to supervise and remind him of this mundane trivial things. Su Ci Yi felt irony. And here they ask the wrong person for a request.
Although she was like this on the inside, Su Ci Yi didn't lose her composure and acted like it was nothing. It's not lying but giving the couple a satisfaction in their hearts.
" I'll see to it that he won't be over-exhausted, Mom. " Although they were still not officially in-laws, Qin Ting already regarded her as one. She also told Su Ci Yi not to address her formally and just call her Mom or mother. As per what she said, they'll be a family in the future so she better be used to it now.
So sweet!
Su Ci Yi will miss this couple's indulging and kind gestures to her. The warm breeze and the comfortable ambiance of a true Island home.
Qin Ting smiled. When she smiled, Su Ci Yi felt the neighboring flowers bloom and the sun's ray is especially radiant at this time. This smile is the very role model of every mother who loved their children to the bottom of their hearts.
It's just that the child of this couple seemed to be happy-go-lucky and only took this cozy feeling for granted. 
Qin Yu's grin almost reached his ear while standing side by side with each other. On his left hand, he was carrying Qin Tao while his other hand slid right through Su Ci Yi's back, inconspicuously hugging her waist. They stood together bidding their goodbyes in front of the house.
Qin Fourong is not a talkative person. He only waved his hand to them as to gesture his goodbye, but Su Ci Yi knew that he deeply felt reluctant to send them off. As proof, the doting father even sent a bunch of souvenirs in forms of odd commodities and delicacies of the Islands. It took a whole backpack just allocated for souvenirs and snacks.
Qin Ting didn't let herself be left out and on the race of 'who-gave-a-lot-of-souvenirs', she didn't lose. She gave Su Ci Yi a lot of her trinkets and personal jewelry that she thought would be useful to her. The woman thought that Su Ci Yi is a rare kind of in-laws that didn't have an interest in fascinating her appearance that she didn't wear any kind of jewelry except for a brilliant ring on her finger.
Su Ci Yi weight all the treasure she gave and it seemed the stones were genuine. Of course, what would be her reaction but to be a little timid upon receiving those items but deep inside, a whole volcano had erupted in her core. She couldn't contain her excitement that she needed to bit her lip to hide those emotions. Who knows how much this would pitch in a pawnshop!
"We'll be going mom, dad" Su Ci Yi bade her last farewell, not forgetting to show a bit of hesitation when bidding goodbye.
Qin Fourong nodded. But before he let go, he planted a forehead kiss on his only grandson- Qin Tao. Qin Ting hugged her son for a long time. She only let go when her husband patted her on her shoulder, urging to let him go.
From afar stood the black-tinted BMW of Qin Yu. The sun wasn't still scorching hot and a warm light engulfing the interior of the car. Some passerine birds were hosting at the top of the car; searching for potential food and pickled beans but when it couldn't found anything, they all scramble and flew out. Leaving small tiny claw prints.
Stood beside the tinted car, a tanned teenage girl. Wearing a denim jacket and baggie pants. Her appearance was lousy and a little off, a typical influence as part of the Island. The first thing she needed to do with this girl is to correct her fashion!
"Master!!! Did you finish your farewells? Can I enter the car now?!" Mai can't take her excitement inside and bounce up and down at her place. This is her first time going out of the island and she was very excited. Thinking over the adventures she will make, the new people she will meet, and also the foods and snacks that are very different from the Island, she felt restless and jovial.
Su Ci Yi decided to bring her over, for there will be a lot of things that she needed to teach to her. There was no issue with Mai's parents, anyway. She said she will bring her to assist with her job on the mainland. When hearing this, Aunt Mei tear her eyes and immediately urge Mai to pack up her things and follow her.
Leaving Mudo aside. She told him to strengthen his body, and when she needed him, she will call for his backup. If things would allow, she might want him to follow them on the mainland.
His apprenticeship is still pending; Su Ci Yi didn't still found the motivation to make him her own disciple.
But she didn't turn him down completely. She knew he can be useful at times.
With that, Mudo remained and didn't insist on following her. He will train and become strong. Prove to her that he's worth under her wing.
"Master!!! Come on. Our journey is still afar." Mai shouted and the exclamation of being so excited is evident in her expressions.
"Are you really sure are you okay with bringing her?"
Su Ci Yi asked the man that towered her. She wanted to bring Mai with her, but if the man didn't allow it, she had still a lot of ways to bring her. It's a good thing that Qin Yu didn't really care for extra people in his car.
" If my wife wanted so, why would I reject?"
"Pull your facade out. Your parents are not here anymore."
Su Ci Yi snapped out.
" Oh, but we are still on the Island. What if someone would abruptly pop up on the side and be suspicious? Henceforth, we must be careful at all costs. Usually, the last part is the most blood turning and suspense. Unexpected things might happen when we expect it the least."
Since the man insisted, Su Ci Yi will oblige. Right now, her thoughts were preoccupied with Su Ming. Up until this time, she hadn't still contacted her and the phone number she was using to connect to her was out of coverage. This time, a foreboding doubt appeared in her heart.
She just hopes that it's nothing at all.
Even if her intuition had a strong radar for troublesome things.
At this time, Qin Yu's phone vibrated, and after a few rings he picked it up. From the other end was his shadow intel, responsible for clearing and gathering of data.
"Boss, are you going home now? This is ridiculous, but something strange happened here..."
The tone was melancholy and somewhat agitated.
"Spill it out." Qin Yu's tone was languid with traces of his dominant superiority.
"Boss, the madam had already died and the whole family is out now on her grave. There will be no people who will receive you at the Su villa if you go home now."
Aside from that info, his guard sent photos of the entire family on the mourning memorial. Both in black attire with a black veil on the face. Grieving for the loss of an important person.
Along with the photos sent were the tomb grave with intricate lettering, with bold and highlighted gruesome words of the dead;
Rest In Peace: In loving memory of OUR OWN BELOVED daughter, SU CI YI...


She was a hot-blooded & fierce cultivator in her past life. 
After transmigration, she became a useless psychopath and crazy being admitted to a mental hospital.

This was the most shocking moment of her life. What's even more, that she became crazy because of her broken engagement to a young heir.

Everyone now looks up to her with pity. She is deemed as a crazy woman because of her love for him! Everything is messed up when she took over the body.

Su Ci Yi is not a woman who needs to prove herself to others. She will act as hell crazy and trouble those people who have a debt towards her. 

The mental hospital was her home and the doctors are now her trusted aides. The patients her friends and the mental establishments her entire household!

However, even though she acted like a total idiot, there is someone who notices her small actions. 
Qin Xiao Yu, a business tycoon who recently dominated different industries, has come to declare his domination towards her. 
-------------------------------------------------
"You want a kiss? Hmph, fight me! You win, I'll give what you want!" Su Ci Yi glared like a ferocious wild animal.
Qin Yu was leaning on a hard wall, trapping Su Ci Yi within his arms. Their breaths are not afar along with the rhythmic beating of the chest. One was loud and blaring. The other was calm like the serene waves of the ocean.
Qin Yu's deep eyes landed on those thin rosy lips and gulp.
Even before he could pluck the peach blossom, he received a heavy blow below.
Su Ci Yi cracks her knuckles, lunged a kick and without mercy shifted her position pinning the man on the wall, arms on his back.
Now, their position is completely reverse.
However, an abrupt military footstep advances towards her. Seven men in a black suit with sunglasses stopped in front, only a meter away aiming a 5.56 mm M-16 head on straight on Su Ci Yi's head.
Su Ci Yi: "..."

Danillo Pong, a man with actual high status, He gained the trust of Hechtuwo Monahard ruler of the Human lands— they call Supremo.
Using his superiority he proposed the project of creating a supernatural human being with a body that can copy and possess multiple powers three months ago after the fall of Primus Empire. The Supremo gave him the authority over all the geniuses and scientists all around the human lands and close allied clans. 


The project started right after the approval of Supremo, Mr. Pong then called it The Clan Amalgamation Project, news were spread all around the human lands and to the different lands of hundreds of allied clans. Many of those who heard the news had their hopes high, finally a Hero will keep them safe.


Being threatened by an unknown source may sound like a not-so-serious problem but as time goes by the reports of clans disappearing and slaughtered one by one are rapidly increasing and the world is starting to change its nature. The people couldn't ignore it anymore, they need protection, they need a way to bring back the connection between clans that was broken a long time ago which they only realized now. 


82% of the project workers are humans while the other 18% came from different clans such as the Monochromatic clan, creatures from this clan are well known to have high intelligence yet most of them spend their lives lazing and gambling. Their bodies are all colored black and white and they live up to 300 to 500 years. Other than that, creatures from the Cura clan, Woombah and Passerine also took part.


The magisterial figure of Mr. Pong made all the people who sees him bow and greet him as he walk towards the hallway that leads to a highly secured room. He knows well the difference of those who greets him just to get his favor and those who greets him out of respect. His feet stopped in front of a door, judging from its structures something important must be inside or maybe something dangerous that must be kept inside. He looked at his wrist watch while standing in front of the door, one look at his watch and you can say 'ah how cheap' part of it were already rusty and the time I'd barely seen. A man like him should be wearing something high quality and expensive, but the true value of his chintzy watch given as a gift by his daughter is surely better than gold. 


"Activate the body temperature, check the vitals and brain waves." His domineering voice echoed through the white spacious room. The floor slowly moved and a large capsule rose, inside the capsule is a body floating in blue fluids, it's it's arms neck and other parts were attached by millions of small wires that looks like strands of hair but only in different colors.


Mr. Pong was standing there with his top five scientists at his back, one of them is the famous Mozu Yamabailee he is said to contribute most of the ideas that even someone from the Monochromatic clan cannot think of.
He stared at the unconscious body in front of him.  The precious fruit of hard work and countless overtimes is now finished yet a single malfunction can kill them without a doubt. 


Blue fluids inside the capsule started to drain and the skin started to look more like a normal human skin unlike the pale earlier. 
"Fifteen Seconds To Awaken, Fifteen..... " Every mouths were shut

"Fourteen..." Mr. Pong arrange his necktie properly
" I might as well need to look neat in front of the our boy"

"how come you're the only one wearing a suit while the rest of us has to wear these lag gown?" one of them spoke. 

"because I'm the boss" He chuckles, how come even his chuckles sound classic. 

"Ten....nine..... " 

"his brain waves are starting to change"

"watch clearly for abnormalities, one single error and without a doubt we must shut it down immediately before it can completely controll it's body. "

"Five.....four" they knew that at this moment there's no turning back. 


At the first floor of the main building....


Everyone who took part at the project were called to gather at the first floor of the main building. It was morning when Mr. Danillo Pong entered the main room along with his top five to awaken the so-called hero. But it's already past 9 in the evening and they're still not finished. 


"S-sir can I take my leave? " Holding his bag while trembling, Heiron, a genius who works at the brain function team looked really pale and scared.


"....Sir please let me pass, I just want to go home." He wiped his sweat with the lab gown he's wearing and his glasses fell on the floor. "Ah!"


"Whatcha doin? No matter what you say the guard won't let you pass." the man who appeared suddenly was his senior from a different field. He was smiling brightly while eating his food in a box. 


Fried rice and scrambled eggs? But it's evening already, isn't that for breakfast?
"Mr. Pong and the top five still hasn't come back, isn't that suspicious? W-what if the new model malfunctioned and killed them?" he held his head sat on the floor " What if Mr. Mozu was killed? No...no I still haven't got my autograp--"


"Ahahaha! You're worry too much, here have a bite" he reached his lunchbox to Heiron. 
"you're thinking too much, boy! This project will be a success!" small pieces of food fell from his mouth and some even got into the his glasses. he wiped it immediately and stood up from the floor.


" but I heard that last tim--"

"May I Get Everyone's Attention" All heads faced the man who spoke immediately and the noise fell dead in a blink of an eye. ahh it's the despotic Danillo Pong, his voice sounds authoritative as ever. 


He was delivering a speech for everyone in the room yet Heiron couldn't understand any of it, he was too focused on the thought that Mr. Pong is right in front of them which means only one thing

"...the awakening is successful" a round of applause followed the good new, some are even crying while clapping their hands. Three hellish months overworking and finally they can see their families with wide smiles and baggy eyes. 

"finally..... I can have a proper sleep " Heiron murmured. 

The sound of their hands clapping suddenly stopped and everyone were speechless as soon as a man appeared next to Mr. Pong.

"May I proudly introduce to all of you Soriano, the hero everyone is expecting, the one who will protect every single soul from the unknown enemy! He'll bring back the lost connection of every clan!" Entou shouted and everyone rejoiced and praised the hero.


Entou Escarde is one of the top five, he was incharge of the physical structures from the upper part of the body. 
The hero wandered his emotionless eye as if he was gathering details from every single faces he see. How sublime.


"He has the power to copy and possess the abilities and powers of different clans. He can adapt to various of places and situations. He will save us all!" Entou again shouted and the crowd started to cheer his name. "SORIANO"

His extremely handsome face that I never thought to exist started to look confused. 

"I'm gonna be a hero? no thanks"

"..."

Everyone was a lot more silent than before, trying to process everything they heard while their jaws drop. 


Did he just said no thanks? 

eh? 


EEEEHHHHHHHH?!

Ain watched as Sage and Kiel started acting cute toward the babies who were whimpering. Ain waited for Natalina and Cyprus to arrive. The two registered their marraige papers with Lila. Ain liked how Scymore would blink his diamond eyes.  Nimrod would make his dimples visible. Kielah would be poker face just like Cyrus the more reason why Cyrus fancied the first born. 

Kenan was amazed to see the most apprised and prominent Care Taker. 
Her eyes were squinty with velvet touch. Her hair is as they say that resembles an asylum. She was the care taker who took over when Novena quited because of Celicia's death. 
"Your one of the past harpsichord whose well got broken. That means you will be living here forever. How pitiful."
Kenan recalled that she was the one who broke his well back then. Her rebellion happened during his auto-harmony. 
"Well, your enough to shatter Novena.  And in behalf of your stay on the area. I will have to dismantle the current harpsichord."  
Kenan gritted his teeth when she inserted one of her feather unto his wrist like an injection that sucked amount of his blood. When his cell got shut, Kenan blew his lazuli to send the warning toward Novena. 

Lehi and Ophir knocked unto Kish's door.  When the young priest open his door for them his composure got back to normal.  Ophir suggested that they should have their lunch at the garden and the young priest agreed.  Kish laughed and felt at home being with them. Kish stood up but halted in his tracks. He discerned something evil within the premises. Mem sent an emergency flare and everyone gathered by the throne.  
Urchin's viens were highlighted as they entered an trance. 

Novena saw Kenan's lazuli enter from her window. His lapis spelled the name of their abductor and Novena's anxiousness increases. Her mind recalled the havoc at the main temple. She also heared about the death of another care taker. She gulped in fright knowing that this person will surely clip her wings.  She recited the name with asthenia... "Holga Abalon."

Kish never entered a trance before. He is yon astonished to be inside a holy and spotless ground.  Crows gathered at the middle as it spoke with feminine voice. 
" I, who is glossy black and passerine will come delightfully tint this court in yellow. I have sweared that I will send the outcast from this word through you." 
The crow pointed at Kish as Nevi and Ophir exchange glances.  Their daresay seems to be determined upon fulfilment.  
The trance faded and Urchin giggled at them.  Kiel embraced his son as he checked any injury unto his body.  Kiel felt the intensity from the extreme force vibrating from the crow.  

Their nervous pant got engulfed by the sudden fall of the court. The ground quaked and the cieling got powdered.  Ain and Sage evacuated the babies. Mem and Eyel rescued the Sotai.  Cyrus secured the Tale Bearers from any ruins. The palace known to be the home of angels got grinded unto nothing. The throne get wrecked in half. 

Cyprus and Natalina walked down through the longest stair at the peak of the hill. They visited the church for the renowal of their vow. They felt a shiver on their spine when the earth quaked.  They witness the countless crow above the Palace.  Natalina tried to craft a golden wheel but Cyprus stopped her. Her body is still fragile to use such force.  
They ride the carriage to get back at the palace but only found a vaporized area. 

Kish and Lehi vanished with the crows.  Ophir and Nevi tried to grasp Lehi but they missed her.  Ophir recalled the well they entered. They hassled unto Myrrh Cinnamon and they found a barrier.
Kish stood in front of the well as his tears stream from his lashes.  
This is the vision he witnessed even the dolefulness is immeasurable for his palm size heart.  The woman on his dream was Lehi.  The unknown string that is attached to him. An existence he cannot fathom but is gossamer. 

Ophir and Nevi tried to enter the rusty corner but they were drive out by the endless crows.  They called Lehi's name but no one is answering.  The nostalgic and yellowish scene faded when Kish looked at them in pure grieve.  Lehi fell when he realised the words coming from the woman's guile lips.  

"Stop denying the truth young priest. Your doubts are certain. Now acknowledge it and you will put things in order." Holga recited. 

Lehi just smiled at Kish knowingly. The well suddenly magnify Lehi when his thoughts realised it.  Kish run to grapple Lehi's hands but Kish went through her like a ghost.  Holga shifted the scene and Lehi's well exploded.  The crows aviated higher through the starless sky.  
Ophir wept with Nevi who watched the gliding crows.  Kish just bowed his head in apology as they bemoaned.  A single firefly landed in their midst. 

Novena got her face slapped by Holga. 
"You never changed. You could never save anyone."
Novena's grief got reflected in her face. The slapped did not reach her core. It was because of her negligence that Lehi got vanished.  It was because she kept on leaving there side that her flock got clipped.  It was the same with Kenan's team back then. She only thought about her schedules that she forgot how to value the time her flock are reserving for her.  Lehi might have been yearning to have a chat for her. 

Ophir enetered their chamber. He had this feeling that Lehi will be taken away from him but he never throught it would be this fast. He started to question himself.  Are his prayers for her not enough? Did he lacked something when he offered? Ophir grabbed the pillow and throw it unto their wall.  What his doing right now is wrong! He does not have the right to boast about his self uprightness when in fact he forgot to rip his garment and put on a sackcloth for humility and repentance.

When prayer takes you to places you never thought exist and leads you to people you never imagine to encounter. Prayer takes you to a supernatural adventure.

''I'm sorry that I can't fulfil your wishes. Although I did live happily till the very end, so I hope that you can accept that in exchange... Hahah... I know it is a bad bargain but that is the most I can do."

I waddled silently towards Rin and glanced at her face curiously. Rin's face was smiling so brightly that it seems that she was glowing under the moonlight.

"Father, this gigantic bird here is surprisingly the child of uncle and auntie, duke and marma. As to how he became as so is unknown to me but due to this transformations I could meet Father."

Rin recounted today's fun filled day in town to her Father but as the moon rose, her face grew whiter and voice grew softer. 

"I have lived life all these years by Father's side so I was always happy. Vengeance crossed my mind after knowing you won't be back but life was too short for something so useless... I wouldn't blame you for my illness for that would be silly... As you know I don't have much time left too. I want to repeat what you written in that 'do not blame yourself as this decision is mine and mine alone so just blame me as I would still do it if you gave me a second chance.' I would want to be by your side even in the next life even if it is as short as this one so don't blame yourself for my end. "

Flowers are beautiful but are not eternal. Rin weakly sat beside Sir Tunstall, staring at me as she closed her eyes before smiling as she whispered her last wishes.

"Grin, cremate me with Father so we can soar in the wind and go back to nature. Please live life fully in our steads and find your own happiness. Find those who will love you as we did and do protect them... The world is moving so do we, let's soar together in this lonely world, dearest Peregrine."

Cool nights breeze brushed across my feathers and Rin's black hair but as if it took her away, Rin hands and eyelids went limp. I stared blankly before gathering myself again.

Cutting down the the leaves above them with wind magic, a blanket of leaves covered my family as they slept under a tree. After finding proper stones I sparked a fire, lighting up the leaves. orange lights spread under the moonlit night.

I held up my wings together in a prayer position as I gave my final wishes. My back cold from the cold harsh reality of the night's breeze while my front was heated by the final visages of warmth from my family. Standing there till the last ember flickered. As the morning light spread across the green sea, black specks soared into the air as if black stars in blue skies.

I spread my wings and never looked back.

*SCREECH!!!* (I will miss you Rin! Goodbye my dearest friend and family, Passerine Wyvernheart!)

"The world is moving so do we, let's soar together in this lonely world, dearest Peregrine."

I was reborn as a Peregrine Falcon but I can evolve. However, I need to change a person's destiny to gain points to evolve?

[To evolve one must help or destroy a sentient life. The life must not end till one helps or destroys the life]
[Current status - 0/1]

How do I change my faith and why was I reborn in such a place and in this manner?

This is a story to uncover such mysteries.

Shiny like a polished coin
He picked it,
Purchased
And pocketed —

The Ladybug.

The Entomologist is reaching high ends
Once again,
Wanting more than a simple friendship,
His chicks are still hungry —

As they secretly yen being the beetle.

The Passerine tendencies
Are Voiced so openly,
Toward the Coccinellidae
Three different personalities attacking one —

Innocent and lovely Ladybug.

A birthday,
The special occasion,
The trapped pin wrapped tightly
Against blue colors —

A clothing accessory.

She is unwrapped
A girl observes the poor thing,
But it's too late,
The Lady broach is now a token —

The Pin Man's gifted trophy.

The girl puts it away,
Hides it in a private place
Where the bug will not be discovered,
The Hirundinidae's following feet —

His child-like dependency.

The adult-sized-Crows are everywhere,
Pecking split-open Squirrels
Marking insecurity,
The green leaves —

Are no longer the safe-keeping.

The owl stares
Not voicing its thoughts,
As it can't talk.
It's knowledge and mystery —

Go unnoticed as the man's feelings overflow its white pages.

The young girl never opens the package,
The Ladybug sees its chance
Spreads strong and delicate wings,
And flies away —

A pin no longer, but free.

I took A Disabilities in Literature course when I was an undergraduate student. The purpose of the course was to redefine what disability is and what it isn't. Disability Studies has impacted me and has inspired me to write a collection of poetry that coincide with Magical Realism, and reveal how the issues that humans and society have created negatively affect others. The poetry relates to culture, stereotypes, gender roles, mental illnesses, family issues, age, and old tales. The collection, "Left-Handed," dives deep into how traditional and modern views and habits scapegoat others into following and believing what is practiced, and how the needs and issues of those affected are ignored.

Danillo Pong, a man with actual high status. He holds the trust of Hetchtuwo Monahard, Ruler of the Humanland, they call him Supremo.


Using his superiority he proposed the project to create the supernatural being that was written in the book of Great Uno and fought its way to agreement. 


The project started right after the approval of Supremo and his party, those few who opposed went silent after having no greater solution to the rapidly increasing problem.


Mr. Pong called it "The Clan Amalgamation Project". News about the project was spread to different lands and received countless of expectations, both negative and positive, but the latter was greater.


The Supremo gave Danillo Pong authority over all the geniuses and scientists around the Humanland and close allied clans, even the Grand Laboratory is entrusted in his hands.


72% of the project workers are humans while the others came from different clans such as the Moono clan, creatures from this clan are known to have high intelligence yet they spend the rest of their lives lazing and gambling. Their bodies are all colored black and white and they live up to 300 years. Other than that, creatures from the Cura clan, Kashim and Passerine also took part.


[Two years later]
[At the Humanland Grand Laboratory's Main building]


The magisterial figure of Mr. Pong made all the people who see him bow and greet him as he walk towards the hallway that leads to a highly secured room. He knows well the difference between those who greet him just to get his favor and those who greet him out of respect. 


Upon entering the armored room, he faced the wall displayed with flags in his right. These are the flags of all the fallen Clans and Lands during the last two years. 9 Clans reported to be annihilated and 4 Lands destroyed by abnormal disasters, which are all caused by the enemy.

 
The top five workers appeared from the corner and followed Danillo Pong. They are the outstanding leaders of different fields in the project. One of them is the well-known Mozu Yamabailee, famous for his intelligence that surpasses the average Moono people despite him being a human, and of course his fine looks that screams youth cannot be ignored.


"Let us start the Awakening" Danillo Pong announced.


"Activate the body temperature, check the vitals and brain waves." His domineering voice echoed through the white spacious room. The floor slowly moved and a large capsule rose from it. Inside the capsule was a body floating in blue fluids, it's arms, neck and other parts were attached to millions of small wires that looked like colorful strands of hair.


Words swirling around capsule, and if one would look closer to it's chest one could see that the skin and even the fluids around was trembling, as if something powerful was inside that area. And that staring at it for too long might be blinding.


Still, a pair of brave auburn orbs stared at the unconscious body in front of him. The precious fruit of hard work and countless overtime is almost finished, but a single malfunction can kill them without a doubt.


Finally the fluids inside the capsule started to drain and the skin began to look more like a living person's, unlike how pale and "dead" it was earlier. 


"Fifteen Seconds To Awaken. Fifteen... "


Mouths were shut for a second. 


"Fourteen..."
Mr. Pong arranged his necktie properly and said, "I might as well need to look neat in front of our boy"


"Why is it that you're the only one wearing a suit while the rest of us has to wear these lab gowns?" Wataru Mo complains as his face express how uncomfortable he is. 


"Because I'm the boss." Mr Pong chuckled. How come even his chuckles sound classic?


"Ten..."

  
"Nine... " 


"his body is reacting to the Lock"


"Watch clearly for abnormalities, a single error and without a doubt we must shut it down, immediately, before it can completely control it's body. "


"The second heart is in sync with the first"


The words swirling around the body glowed brighter, and everyone in the room can feel the vibration of the floor coming from the capsule.


Wataru can barely see the fingers twitch and everytime it does he feels like his heart might jump out of his body. Maybe a prayer would ease his worry, should he call out to all the deities he knows and ask them for protection if ever the man inside that quaking capsule malfunctions.


"Five... Four..." 


Sweats starts to form in the very corner of his forehead as Mozu began to announce the last process. "Activate the third heart."


"Three... Two..."


And with a single beep, the capsule unclosed.


[At the first floor of the main building]


All the geniuses who took part on the project were called to gather at the first floor of the main building. The vast room was loud and active, filled with people who cannot wait to hear the outcome of their sacrifices.  


It was morning when Mr. Danillo Pong entered the secured room along with his top five to awaken the so-called hero. But it's already past 8 in the evening and they're still not coming out. 


"S-sir can I take my leave? " Holding his bag while trembling, Heiron a genius who works at the field focused on the body's structure and it's ability to adapt to changes led by Wataru Mo. He looked really pale.


And scared.


"...Sir please let me pass, I just want to go home." He wiped his sweat with the lab gown he's wearing, then his glasses fell on the floor. "Ah!"


"Whatcha doin? No matter what you say the guard won't let you pass." the man who appeared suddenly was his senior from a different field. He was smiling brightly while eating his food in a box. 


"Fried rice and scrambled eggs? But it's evening already, isn't that for breakfast?" Heiron muttered as he straighten up. 


"Mr. Pong and the top five still hasn't come back, isn't that suspicious? W-what if the hero malfunctioned and killed them?" he held his head and sat on the cold, dustless floor. "What if Mr. Mozu was killed? No no, I still haven't got his autograp-"


"Ahahaha! You're worry too much my friend, here have a bite" he reached his lunchbox to Heiron. 


"you're thinking too much. This project will be a success!" small pieces of food fell from his mouth and some even got into Heiron's glasses. He wiped it immediately and stood up from the floor.


"But I heard that last tim-" He was cut off by a deep  masterful voice before he could finish his sentence.


"May I Get Everyone's Attention?" 


All heads faced the man who spoke and the noise fell dead in a blink of an eye.—ahh it's the despotic Mr. Danillo Pong, his voice, authoritative as ever. 


Mr Pong was delivering a speech for everyone in the room yet Heiron could not understand any of it, he was too focused on the thought that Mr. Pong is right in front of them, healthy and still alive, which means only one thing...


"The awakening is successful." Thunderous claps followed the good news, some were even crying, overjoyed.
 

Two hellish years of overworking and finally they can see their families with wide smiles and baggy eyes while telling them "we'll be safe now"


"finally... I can have a proper sleep." Heiron murmured. The sound of their hands clapping suddenly stopped and everyone went speechless as soon as a man appeared next to Mr. Pong.


"May I proudly introduce to all of you Soriano" Mr. Pong announced and everyone rejoiced and praised the so-called hero.


The hero in front of them wandered his emotionless eyes as if he was gathering details from every single face he see. —How sublime.


"The Hero from the Prophecy, the one who will stop the array of evil and restore the Universal Chain. Soriano the great God of Clans is now awake!" Danillo Pong's voice is with full excitement and bliss as he emphasized the word "Hero", and the crowd started to cheer Soriano's name. 


"SORIANO!"


"SORIANO!"


Everyone was celebrating when suddenly his blessed face that they never thought to exist started to look confused. 


"I'm the hero? no thanks"


"..."


Silence filled the hall, everyone's trying to process what they heard while their jaws drop. Since when did they all have a lump in their throat, keeping them from uttering a single word.


Heiron's shoulders were stiff, but still, he swallowed that lump in his throat and asked, "...did he... just said no thanks?"


eh? 


"EEEEEEHHHHHHHH?!"

Soriano woke up in an odd situation where he was dragged in front of many people and was introduced as the anticipated Hero and God of Clans. Not knowing what to do, Soriano ends up saying "No thanks." in front of the crowd.

The Clan Amalgamation project aims to create a real life Soriano, the hero protagonist from a legendary book. But the two years they spent resulted in a Soriano who turned out to be not as obedient as they thought he'd be.

(As Mason stands across Dante and Stephen, Mason quickly uses his Time abilities to rescue Mikael from Dante's clutches. He then heals his wound in his chest to Stephen's surprise.)

Stephen: Just what is the meaning of this, father? Why are you helping the enemy?

Dante: It's like I said earlier. Betrayal is the theme of the day. 

(As Dante says this, Mason helps up Mikael back to his feet and then takes out a box containing all of the pieces that Mikael has collected. Elsewhere, Vincent and Azura continue to battle each other as Vincent's power and speed continue to rise. Vincent manages to land a significant blow to Azura that knocks her back. This then allows Vincent to fire a huge blast towards Azura. While this happens, Mori temporarily freezes Tana in time.)

Mori: It seems things are starting to come out. I'd best take this opportunity to get rid of Azura. Besides Dante and Stephen, she's the biggest threat here.

(Just as Mori says this, he teleports behind Azura.)

Mori: I'm sorry, but I have to break our deal...No hard feelings, Azura. 

Azura: Why you backstabber!

(As Azura says this, Mori temporarily freezes her in time and vanishes away as Vincent's blast connects causing a huge explosion. Meanwhile, back over to Mikael as he begins to gloat.)

Mikael: Nothing you say matters now. I've suffered enough of your presence. Wiping you from the face of this earth is the next step. Lucky for you Prince Stephen, your father has spared your life. With this, I can now assemble the Astral Cube. 

Stephen: It looks like you're missing a piece.

Mikael: No need to worry your little head. I was gifted the piece you acquired early this morning. It was that in which solidified our deal, Stephen. 

Stephen: I don't understand...Just why is this happening?!? Why are you betraying us?!?

Dante: Enough! I've waited years for this...I'm killing you today.

(As Dante says this, he charges towards Mason with his sword, but as he gets close Mori reappears behind Stephen with a short blade pointed at his neck.)

Mori: Take another step and I kill your brother. 

(As Mori says this, Dante turns around to face him.)

Mori: Do not think you are slick, Dante. One move and I shatter his spine, crippling him from the neck down.

Stephen: You're in on this as well, Mori?!? But why? I thought you to be a friend.

Mori: My apologies, Stephen but this isn't personal. It's strictly business. 

Stephen: The hell that it isn't personal! You've destroyed my home! And now you alongside my father are trying to upset the balance of nature trying to utilize a relic that isn't meant for us to use!

Mikael: Don't be so naive...Things like the Astral Cube was put here for the people with ambition! It isn't nobodies else's fault that you lack not only ambition but purpose.

Stephen: I just don't understand...Why? You were a King? 

Mason: My time of being King is over...Out there right now is land. Land that stretches out as far as the eye can see and it is not unified. I want to be the one who does it. I will achieve the one thing no one has ever done in unifying the land.

Dante: So you want all of the region to yourself? Is that it?

Mason: Your perception of things was always so small. I mean everything. The Para Continent of Vera and the Land of Magic, Ataria. Everything and everyone will listen to one man's words and they will be mine. And Mikael being here is per our agreement. I offered him a job. I needed some assistance getting rid of an incessant passerine thinking he could do anything. Thinking that he was a free man, that he could roam these lands and kill and destroy as he sees fit! I sent Mori way to Ataria to an outcast society of Mages. 

Stephen: No...Just how deep does your conniving schemes go, father?!? I must admit, I feel like a complete fool. This...This version of you was always there...I just didn't want to believe it. 

Mason: So tell me...What made you finally see the truth? 

Stephen: Your recent argument with mother. From that point on things changed.

Mikael: While I do enjoy watching your family crumble into bits, I believe there are more important matters at hand, Mason.

Mason: You're right. Do forgive me, friend. 

(As Mason says this, offers the last piece of the Astral Cube to which Mikael uses a simple spell to bring the piece flying into his grasp. As Mikael connects the final piece as he starts to float as he chants a spell in preparation.)

Stephen: You're out of your mind if you think we'll just stand here and let you do this! 

Mason: You'd dare stand against your father? I never raised you to be so disrespectful, Stephen. Perhaps I should've found a way to get rid of you like I did your bastard brother. Nevertheless, you're currently in no position to do anything. 

Stephen: Do you really think that?

(As Stephen says this, he suddenly burst with power, blowing Mori back.)

Stephen: So it's true. I think I finally see what you see now, Dante. He's not even human anymore...Just evil incarnate. 

Mason: Well I was beginning to wonder if you had anything left in the tank, boy. Yes, it's true. Everything you saw in that memory Dante showed was true. Dante being related to that monster Dawn and have the level of genius and prowess that has always shown made for reasonable doubt that he would inevitably become a threat. It became impossible to move forward with my plans with Dante alive. I knew if I allowed him to grow and harness his power, he'd be too powerful if I waited too long. So I had your mother seal his powers, but even with his powers gone, you still found a way to shine through. Suddenly, I knew what I had to do to be rid of you.

Dante: You set me up.

Mason: I did. 

(As Mason says this, Dante's eyes suddenly glow red as he activates his Shuketsugan.)

Mason: Ah. There they are. Don't think you can take hold of me again, boy. 

Dante: I'm not a fool. I caught you off guard when your focus wasn't on me.

Mason: You've told me many times of how you wanted to kill me. And I'll be honest, I've been wanting a second chance at taking your life ever since it was revealed that you survived. Are you ready to get your ass handed to you boy?

Dante: That's a lot of talk for a simple figurehead who's never held true power in his own Kingdom. You wanna know how the other Kings speak of you behind your back? They laugh at you. They don't even recognize you as a king. You're a man who married into his wealth and status, and this is how you choose to respond? You're nothing more than trash. You're scum beneath my boot.

Mason: Tch! 

(Just as tensions rises to higher heights, suddenly in the sky a small ripple appears.)

Mikael: Good...Now it just needs one final push!

(As Mikael says this, he moves his hands apart as he rips opens a passageway to transfer the preternatural essence of the Astral Realm. As this happens a light blue glow then beams through as the otherworldly power begins to flows within the cube.)

Mikael: Yes...Yes!!! More!! More power!!! Mason! I need you and Mori to hold them off until extract enough power. I have a strong barrier put up, a combined attack from those two won't break it, but Azura most likely can.

(Just Mikael says this, the ground begins to shake as Azura suddenly arises and erupts reaching her absolute peak in power. Distracted by this, Mason knocks back both Dante and Stephen as Azura shreds through the ground as she charges towards Mason. He tries to slow down time around Azura, but her raw speed catches Mason off guard as she sends him soaring through several buildings. Immediately after this, she charges towards Mason again, but this time Dante steps in her way.)

Dante: Hey! Hey! Azura!  I know you can recognize my voice. He's mine.

(As Dante says this, Azura completely disregards him as she continues on towards Mason, but Dante stops yet again.)

Dante: I don't want to go against our deal. Mason is mine. 

Azura: You don't control me, Crow!

(As she says this, she fires a quick but powerful blast. Dante manages to take out his sword and uses it to block against as the mere force of the blast drags his feet through the ground.)

Dante: Tch! She really unhinged....This is not good...Not good at all.

(As Dante tries his best to deflect Azura's blast, Vincent and Tana both returned and appears in Azura's way. They then fire a combination blast that she at first keeps at bay, but eventually as Vincent puts all his power into the blast it knocks Azura back, close to Mikael's barrier. While this is happening, Mikael finally gathers enough Astral essence to properly function the Astral Cube. Also, as this takes place Dante finally deflects Azura's blast into the sky.)

Dante: Tch! That was much harder than expected. 

Mikael: Well if that was difficult then you most certainly won't stand a chance against me now. Behold! The power of the Astral Plane! You, Dante, has the pleasure of being my first kill with it. Tell me, are you ready to die for a second time?

Dante: As if you possessing that means you can kill me.

Mikael: Don't believe in its power, do you? Then allow me to give you a demonstration of the power I currently wield!

In the first book of the series, Seven years pass since Dante's execution, he returns stronger than ever to wreak havoc on the land and seek vengeance on those who wrong him, including his own family.

Okay, so I've been posting this on Wattpad but I was introduced to this site and I've brought my book here😊. please enjoy! 

I wanted to have pictures so you guys could have a feel of what the characters look like but I don't think that's going to work cause I've made research and I don't know whether I'm just being really picky but there's always something off.

Like oh this guy fits the whole vibe but he doesn't have the hairrr😭😭😭

And this girl is pretty but she looks too posh ...or too old or too young 😂😂... not the right eye colour...not the way I see him/her in my head...

Oh well struggles of a writer 

I'll just describe how I see them in my head to the best of my ability here and leave you guys to fill in the rest however you want 😅

So Mekhi... he has this kinda wild mane of  hair that can be packed or weaved...he's bad ass and serious. He's responsible and can be chill and all. He has a serious intimidating face that makes people talk...makes them feel scared. He has a tattoo on his neck with his gang name " el cráneo ". Yeah his hair is black.

Now Sky... her full name is Skylark Freedom Reign Asanté. Her mom named her Skylark because it's the name of a small brown passerine bird, (Alauda arvensis) that sings as it flies high into the air... indicating freedom and joy which her mom longs for and wishes for her ...Reign cause her mom hopes her life doesn't turn out like hers, she hopes she becomes an achiever and goes places conquering the world which is not an easy fit for someone from a poor background. Asanté is her surname. Sky has blackishbrown natural curly hair and brown eyes. She longs to leave her neighbourhood and go far away with Sandi. She loves dancing and playing basketball. She has her hair in weaves a lot cause it's more convenient than having to always comb it and pack it. She's brown skinned and average height. Average body build... I'll leave you to imagine 

Asando, Dodo for short is mixed, she's part Nigerian tho. 
She's brown skinned with black eyes, really smart, loves dancing and watching movies. She wants to be a neurosurgeon, she's slim and has smooth skin, she wears geek glasses. She can also be really outspoken and has no issue voicing her opinions even though they sometimes offend people but she's a good and supportive friend.

Meghan, Meg for short (formerly Cordelia) is American, she has brown smooth hair and bright green eyes. She's really sweet and loves reading. She loves romance stories and happy endings. She doesn't like being talked down to and knows how to stand up for herself tho. She likes adventure, dancing, volleyball, tennis and swimming. She models sometimes too...She has rich parents and is an only child, she rarely hangs out with her parents though cause they're usually busy.

Omarion, Omar for short (formerly Joseph, Jo'), is tall and a basketballer, he has scouts interested in him so his going to  university is secure. He has a brown afro, he's lean but muscular, he loves going for runs and dancing too. He's usually busy with school work, training and his part time work but he makes out time for his friends. He's a feminist, maybe this is because He was raised by his mom and has 3 females as best friends. He's mixed race.

Sandi.... Sky actually named her, Sandi from spongebob her favourite cartoon as a child 🙈 her full name is Sandi Omarion Sea Asanté. She's 6 years old, brown skinned  has chubby cheeks and an incomplete set of teeth, black curly natural hair that's packed in pigtails or weaved most of the time. Shy around strangers. Her best friend is Nessa. As you must've noticed her name is Omarion, yupp, Sky named her after Omarion her childhood bestfriend and childhood crush then. So yeah Sandi and Omarion are close.

I'ma go now and leave you guys to imagine everything else
If you're confused...feel free to leave a comment and I'll explain as best as I can.  Don't forget to vote😓

He leans in and says I want a kiss while making direct eye contact. I turn my head to the right and look towards the corridor like I expect someone to magically appear and save me. Who am I kidding? Even if my parents came, they wouldn't do anything, my dad would start sucking up to him and sadly my mom doesn't have any backbone.

He holds my chin and softly turns my head towards him then leans in and pecks me on my lips. I stare at him stunned, and he stares at me too, his gaze is too intimidating and intense, I look back down. Soft lips, he has soft lips. Finally, he steps back and I can breathe properly again.


Join Sky as she tries to survive living in Skulls while raising her little sister and growing up in a broken home. As if that's not enough she grabs the attention of feared gang leader Mekhi who doesn't like to share.

Update plan: Weekly

The tongue had come, neither had I known who had delivered it nor who it belonged to. I was able to ensure it had been removed days before by looking at its decomposition while taking note of the careless removal technique that had been performed. The tool designated for the glossectomy had to have been used for torture and the act was cruel and unusual. The gruesome sight remained vividly in my mind, also I had begun to see images of Jameson and was hanging on to my sanity by a thread. The demons were coming at me from every direction but I'd begun to see their approach, unlike many.
Their existences remained at variance and had always contrasted from different stances , the Ancient Greeks assessed the demons as being mediators between Heaven and earth; on the contrary Christian beliefs concerning their existences were based wholly on the scriptures and their accounts on Demonism hadn't correlated with the beliefs of philosophers who'd recorded their own accounts with them. If demons had once been angels who'd fallen, why did they lack omniscient capacities? Unlike angels, why were they precisely expertise only in certain sectors? I logically sided with the concepts of them being spirits of the Nephilim because they were born upon earth and of flesh---their souls permanent and abiding; each one undying even after the flood as opposed to their pansophical and divine Heavenly counterparts. The reciprocity of their existences gave angels dominion and I had trouble unraveling the whole concept, especially if Lucifer himself had been cast down to Earth, hadn't Revelations 12:9 corroborated that? The demons as I had come to learn them were the offsprings of they who had fallen with Lucifer, they were the powers of darkness and there were legions. Paul the Apostle said God created all things in Heaven and on Earth, visible and invisible.
And serpent once walked across the Garden.
When remembering the scriptures I recalled Ezekiel's account of the Seraphim, they had four wings and faces. They were also mentioned in Revelations and again portrayed as lacking human characteristics. It hadn't taken me long to gauge the concepts of each deity and their existences and had become conscious of their dissimilarities---discounting the notion that demons I wrestled with had once been heavenly beings. I'd begun to hearken to their undertaking and was learning my thoughts were more influential than my words.
As usual, I had a simple plan to rid the truck, find open WiFi and request an Uber. I'd arrived but had gotten lost in an attempt to gain entry to the swamp, the sight of the moss and bald cypress trees disturbed me as I neared the water, also the putrid smell made my stomach churn. I'd driven collateral to the swamp that led to the bayou in awe of the residents' choice of civilization, I noted the homes and their backyards surrounded by water. Continuing slowly deeper into the swamplands I searched for an inlet, the further I got inside the more nostalgic the atmosphere had begun to feel. Finally after I'd gone further down the path I'd come to a home at the end separated from the others, the road continued past but led to the swamp. Only a Keep Out sign posted on an open gate prevented access to the moss filled water when the path had run out, mud and swamp water washed onto the road at its dead end. The posted warning signs that also hung on the open wrought iron gate which was covered by a hanging cypress were hardly visible. I tried to recollect anything I could remember about the area before spotting the highway across the swamp where Trenton had driven into the water. From where I sat in the truck I determined the Charger could have been easily seen, and anyone who was familiar with the bayou could have found the car in a matter of hours, why had it taken so long? The humming engine of the early spring tour boat prompted me to look across the water through moss covered trees where I spotted it coming into view. Heavily the thoughts weighed me all of a sudden, where had Trenton been headed the night he'd abducted me? Something about the home to my left unnerved me I was tempted to walk up the dock and to the door which was surrounded by water crafts. Instead I continued my mission after considering the predicament I was in not wanting to be seen.
Mentally preparing to return home to my children I put the truck in neutral while climbing out and taking Gloria's dresses and shoes from the bag throwing them inside. Removing the gloves I pondered over where to put them but stuffed them into my pockets. The truck rolled forward but stopped at the edge, I leaned against the tailgate and pushed it forward while sitting on the bumper. After using all of my strength the front end submerged. Beginning to sweat I removed the jacket I wore while taking the phone from the pocket, I headed down the path. I'd planned to walk along the road back to the highway until I had service but checking for a close by WiFi signal I discovered there weren't any open networks in range. Telling myself I had to continue I surveyed my surroundings and resumed on my sore knee after almost collapsing when reality set in. I hadn't even known my whereabouts, had no GPS and was painfully dreading the journey ahead, again I was miles away from my home and hadn't known the whereabouts of my children. 
Estimating the distance I'd driven I determined it would take at least 20 minutes by foot to make it back to the highway, I would hitchhike if necessary and had brought money along. It was mandatory that I got to some food soon, I could no longer fight off the hunger pangs which now came consistently.
The suppositions reeled through my mind in segments as I walked along the road past the bayou homes, I'd turned around to see the truck only submerged halfway into the water and hadn't known how deep it was. Holding the phone upward toward the now gloomy sky searching for a WiFi signal as if it's position would matter I instantly determined there was no open network for a while, however I was beginning to see service bars and network names from the homes as I got closer to the highway. Discouraged I continued on hoping I was unseen but knew darkness watched.
I thought about what I'd sagaciously cultivated about the demons which had become my own as I had driven toward Bayou St John. Daylight was filling the sky and the sun had appeared amidst the streaked orange hued clouds, I had continued toward the bayou yet wondering about my children but had become frightened when I found drifting off thinking about Martin. I'd turned the air conditioner to its maximum fan speed to stay alert but had been peeved since the funeral and the episode with Andre' had left me with a lot of unsettling questions. 
Knowing I needed to feed my son emotionally burdened me and I had lost touch with reality, grief for Sharon just hadn't existed. 
I couldn't regard Lawrence's note but wondered what had occurred. He'd come by and it had just seemed calculable, I hadn't even been diverted to his antics and besides I had the more important issues to deal with; the demons were coming at me left and right and I'd invoked them all. There had been an interesting concept I'd learned about Procell; though powerful he lacked social skills, it seemed to coincide with being in seclusion. Now the pieces of the puzzle were beginning to fit but the truth was becoming reality and I couldn't help but reflect upon how Louisa had seemed so disgruntled, I knew I had to do what was necessary to save my son. 
There was a feeling of something touching the back of my hair as took in my spine chilling surroundings, the bugle-like unisong sounds of the Whooping Cranes only enhanced the feeling of trepidation as had all the various passerine sounds of the woodpeckers vultures and hawks who had made the bayou their habitat. I was so close to laying down dying but kept treading the road toward home while my mind wandered precariously as I looked up at the dark billows of clouds behind me. The sun had gone after only briefly making its morning debut and as the rolling thunder could be felt underneath my feet from a distance, my pace quickened in pursuit of Interstate 10. I'd passed several signs and knew I was still inside of New Orleans. Thirst had overcome me, I needed water desperately, I was still dehydrated and hadn't felt I could make it too much further, again the familiar scent of rain had wistfully made me remember daddy, what had he known? Something had destroyed him. As I continued the voice carried across the open water, I began to walk faster and hadn't had intentions on being seen, "Heeey!" they had yelled, but I hadn't reacted by even indicating I'd heard the caller looking in their direction, only I'd kept walking. I heard the engine of a boat when it died---and again, "Heeey!"
FUCK!
"U going the long way around!"
I watched the man pull the crank on the motor boat and head toward the moss filled water from beside the old antebellum style home toward the muddy road I treaded. I kept walking whilevhe yelled out between the trees.
"U LOST?"
Nosey Muthafucka!
"I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me---trees wont let me go no further, hop in I'll take u to the highway! U have car trouble?"
I listened to his accent which seemed so unorthodox, I looked at his red hair and freckled skin, he reminded me a lot of my twin son Deuce.
"Look at them clouds, better hurry up! Who made u mad? Now if u into that insurance scam mess, that's your business but u better come on before u get all wet up---hear them swamp monkeys?"
I stopped.
"Yea, they'll let u know every time it's gone rain, come on."
He'd stopped the boat and I'd folded my arms to not swat at whatever was touching my hair.
"My name is Jonathan---and I ain't got no old lady."
I started walking again.
"I mean won't nobody mind one bit if I give u a ride. If u don't want it though I done done my part, and I just couldn't let u get wet."
I continued toward the highway, he'd turned back toward where he had come from after saying something I couldn't understand in Cajun French. I calculated I had at least 15 minutes to go before I seen any kind of traffic but kept going trying to beat the rain. I scrolled through every message in Troy's phone and found information about Christy from a conversation between he and Lamont I needed to follow up on. Approaching the sign I wanted to just crawl in the water, I felt I had betrayed my son's father and had even checked for bodily evidence to see if Andre' was real! Nathaniel couldn't recall seeing him. 
As I could see the sign at the end of the road I also saw a Sierra truck turn on the muddy path that led to the dead end headed in my direction, I became obviously hysterical and as the truck slowed down I prepared to keep walking but hadn't known where I was going to get away! When Johnathon lowered the window I became aggravated but relieved. I was upset he hadn't minded his business but knew I needed a ride, "See look at the rain, I was just in time!"
The rain had begun fall and decorate the windshield of the truck, the wipers had automatically come on.
Sizing him up while standing in the drizzling rain I concluded I needed to get inside and had to trust the man who appeared to be around my own age but secluded from cultivation.
Walking around the front of the truck I saw tension ease in Jonathon's shoulders and hadn't known why but remained on guard, I needed signs from the words and could not trust my own judgement of people! I had always been so wrong! On the verge of breaking down I climbed inside.
"Where u going?"
Hunger was overpowering my better judgement but I hadn't wanted him to take me home, any restaurant with open WiFi would have been suitable since he seemed to not have any intentions of leaving me alone!
"I can't get u where u need to be unless u tell me where it is u going!"
Finally I was able to mouth Burdette Street and knew if the old man could walk to the house so could I.
"U a long way on foot. What's your name?"
I ignored his inquiry.
We rode while he spoke half English half French and I could tell by remembering the direction I had driven in that we were headed toward my requested destination. Having a somewhat peaceful and aquatic aura my indulgence became noticeable, Jonathon seemed just as nervous as I had.
"U can thank me by going dancin', what u know about Zydeco?"
Not a damn thing! I also knew I was not normal enough to be interested in whatever style of dance he was referring to and would not be going anywhere with—-him! I told him I didn't dance. As we got closer to the city limits I was accustomed to he'd begun to speak on not being allowed to come to the city as a child and that his mother had always probogated the evil that had become prominent within. "When the Haitians came their religion became preferred by many of the upper class folks and the more they practiced it the stronger it became. The evil can be felt in the atmosphere, even now, my Marranos said the place would always feel their vengeance."
The rain was now falling at a rapid pace as it cascaded the wipers. Jonathon's presence had emitted a sense of calm and even though I trusted no one I knew he apparently had had my best interest at heart.
"Where on Burdette St?"
We had arrived and I hadn't known where I would go until I spotted the Chateau de Notre Dame nursing home on the busy street, the area had begun to look familiar. I pointed but displayed a look of uncertainty.
"Look I don't know what u done got yaself into but I ain't seen nothing, just wanna get u home safe, all kinda swamp monkeys and thangs out there."
"Here is fine," I said instructing him to turn into the loading zone.
"Take my number," the freckled face man said, "Unless u are married, I'm single and ain't got no children."
He passed me a business card, "J &J's Seafood LLC" it read "Jonathon and Jeremiah Guidry, Owners."
I read the card and put it in my bra not knowing if I intended on calling or not before trying to give him a 100 dollar bill, he laughed and said keep it. While he yet spoke I climbed out contemplating walking inside the lobby. As I closed the door he asked for my name again, I'd rode trying not to swipe at the disturbance in my hair but was on the verge of losing all control! Afraid to even give him my name I turned away but looked at him sympathetically as I backed away from the truck. I watched as the tint covered his face.
Still unsure of how I would get home I stood underneath the pavillion searching for an open WiFi signal, finally an open network from Vincent's Italian Cuisine appeared, I accepted the terms and conditions before connecting and going to the Uber app. Now going on 10 a.m I hoped there was a sign of Nathaniel and my children.
Shortly after being dispatched the driver arrived. I was only 4 minutes away from home but had given the driver the now wet hundred dollar bill.
I'd arrived at home not feeling accomplished even though the truck was history and shaken by the idea of the tongue anonymously arriving at my door. Desperately I considered calling the police but felt it was self incriminating. 
Still no sign of my boys, the hurt was beginning to cut deep, had it been all my fault I hadn't known where they were? Separation from Ciaran was draining me of vitality, he was my lifeline and always had been. The thought occurred to find Pam on social media, I'd sat on the sectional after removing the muddy shoes and looking at the already blood and mud streaked floor. Finding her profile I sent a request hoping she would soon accept it.
Things were not adding up, why had Nathaniel left and where had he gone? He could not have my babies! Also I needed that---BOOK!
Even the almanac, why had Andre' left it!? His mysteriousness would send me to my grave! I was so tired and exhausted, I tried to bite a banana but my jaws locked up, I even too hungry to eat! I had to close my eyes to be able to continue on but held my heart and just determined I needed to be well rested when the boys returned. They were fine surely, Nathaniel was protective of them but Trenton had been also, hadn't he? The thoughts recurred, I jumped up and consumed the remainder of the wine that had been delivered, I stared angrily at the words that were still almost commanding them to move! After they hadn't began to scream while deciding I had to call Dr. Manuel in the near future.
I'd fallen into the slumber, the dream commenced with sounds of slow dripping water that gathered in a vessel, each drop emanating echos but subsequently the voices had joined in---
"Twine rope wrapped too tight to cut him loose, been hangin' up there since Friday 'fore sundown, Massa Jonas ain't allowed nobody to get him down 'fore now---Old man LaFitte won't hear tell of him staying out here, sun done mighty near opened him up but the snakes ain't bothered him. Don't know what he done with Rose, alls I know is we heard that baby crying Friday round sundown. I seen him take him piece the way down them trees. 
Went over there to the quarters where Miss Emma was scalding the sheets, Massa Jonas wouldn't even give her the day off but she wasn't bitter not one bit."
"Yea, I knowed it wouldn't be long, 'specially after she done give him all them chilren. He was just as done in as his Daddy was over miss Emma, everybody seen it but since he couldn't have her his brother couldn't either."
"Now Massa Jonas said both of em was out here under this tree Larry, I don't see no sign of Rose. U hold Andrew up while I cut him down so we can take him cross yonder, got a pine pox waiting for Miss Emma."
"Rose come here by herself, don't even know where Old Man LaFitte got her from, could tell she came from in the house---I tend on asking round to see who come got her and Miss Emma don't need no pine box."
"Well, we gotta make haste but notice, the flies ain't even bothered him and feel the back of his hand---it's still warm."
As much as I tried to break away from the slumber induced episode I couldn't and could see from above as they cut Andrew down from the apple tree. His body had somehow remained preserved even being exposed to the hot Louisiana climate. After sundown the old woman had come along with Old Man LaFitte and the blind man well into his years, with the shovel and unimaginable strength he began to dig under the tree.
I had started to weep in my sleep but was learning why Andre' owned the Orchard.
