“A Devil’s Abode,” that’s how any sailor will reply if anyone in the continent questioned them about the island. Some will recount how their ships almost succumbed to the treacherous waves near the island; some will speak in volumes about their narrow escape from a thousand headed beast and some others will send shudder through the listener with tales of blood-curdling screams they heard from the island. Even though most of these tales seems to exaggerate the events and heroism of the narrator, there is no shortage for listeners. The island is a curious mystery for anyone who has heard of it, and what kinds of stories should one expect from a place named ‘Devil’s eye’? Yet the residents of ‘Shell’ Village, the only village on the island, would laugh at these tales. Amidst the protection of the witches, the villagers have only one word for describing their home; peaceful. In a sense it’s very true, the most dangerous thing the village faced in the recent centuries is a rogue wild beast that slipped the scrutiny of the witches, yet even that was dealt swiftly. Since most villagers pride themselves on earning their livelihood through farming or hunting, petty crimes are rare. ‘Shell’ truly is a village content with how their lives are. It must be this sense of security that turned the horrors of past into myths and fairy tales. To the young generation of Shell, tales of Urkeries were nothing but myths, bedtime stories for naughty children, a deterrent for the youth, a campfire story for some old bones who ‘miraculously’ survived after stumbling upon an Urkery. Nevertheless it was a story just like the myths of crimson ghost. But unlike the legends of the nine divine beasts, the myths of urkeries and the crimson ghosts are special to the villagers; they solely belong to them, to the island, nobody in the continent has ever heard of these creatures. So, where does these myths originate? The least popular answer, blames everything on the grandmothers who don’t want children’s near the ‘notorious’ yellow mist forest. However, the village’s conspiracy theorists have two more explanations. The first one gives all the credit to the village Chiefs, who use this fear to control the villagers for generations. But this theory got mediocre acceptance, primarily because it didn’t make sense, and mainly because of the third theory is much more enticing– the witches. Rumor has it that, before her unexplained disappearance, the first witch gifted a treasure to the witches. It’s this treasure that is responsible for their long life and youthful appearance. Naturally, the witches concocted stories to hide the treasure from the villagers. Many brave souls made their journey into the mist, seeking this mysterious fortune, never to return, adding more mystery to the myth. Along with these speculations and centuries of peace guaranteed by the protection of witches, the villagers were so relaxed, unlike the beast infected continent; they have nothing to fear on the island. However, everything fell apart one evening, it started with the screams of a farm boy at the border of the village. Then screams spread the entire village, along with many winged creatures. They dyed the sky and soil red. To the survivors Urkeries were no longer a myth but a nightmare that will make their spine shiver. They yearned to escape the island forever, but what had protected them until now becomes their cage - the coven. The coven and its witches were adamant in containing both the monsters and the villagers on the island. They would have been successful in this endeavour if not for the one witch that escaped the island, along with her six-month-old nephew. From that day forth, both the coven and the Urkeries are after them, in a relentless pursuit to bring them back to the island.

Lovers Alert

"How could you lie to me and use me in this manner? I got a text saying I passed the audition and got signed into the company's record label, only to resume work here as your messenger." Ella hissed at him angrily. "El..." "Don't even say my name! How can you be this mean? You said I would be your messenger for two weeks to know if I am qualified to work with your label. I obliged and it's the third week already. When you called earlier, I was expecting it to be about our contract. Only for you to call me to your office to send me on another errand." Ella said bitterly. She was fed up, and at this point she didn't mind losing her job, or better still, she'd just quit as she had planned earlier, since she knew he was likely going to fire her after she finished. She was glad she had her resignation letter in her bag since she had written over a week ago pending when the third week runs out and the CEO failed to give her the job she had auditioned for. "You know what? I quit! I'm not interested in working for you anymore, you're not sincere enough to be my boss." She said angrily as she took out her resignation letter from her handbag, dropped it on his desk and stormed out of the office. Henry's lips twitched in amusement as he watched her leave his office. She had always been too impulsive and hardheaded for his liking, Henry thought with a sigh. He knew she was going to return anyway, so there was really no need saying a word. Ella almost bumped into a young man who was going into the office, but she didn't bother to greet him, and walked past him with a stern expression on her face. The young man stared at her for a while before going into Henry's office. "Hey! Ella!" Henry's secretary called when she saw Ella walking away angrily, "I almost forgot, the CEO said you should be at the studio tomorrow by noon to begin your training for your first music." The secretary said making Ella stop abruptly. "What?" She asked with wide eyes. "Yes. Please don't forget." The secretary said before returning her attention to the computer in front of her. Ella's gaze darted to Henry's office door, and she almost collapsed when she saw Henry standing there like a devil, waving her resignation letter at her with a smirk on his face.
