What is your question, Mistress Diwa? I am not sure if my limited feline mind can sufficiently answer your queries, but I can definitely assure you that I will do my very best to do so.That is all I want to be assured of Spades. I know and realise that you are male, right? Can you answer my inquiry using your gender’s general point of view? Please?If you can see this scene, dear reader, you would actually find it quite amusing. The sight of a large majestic white horse could be seen nodding its head and long neck at a sitting and silently staring domesticated black cat…It really was a very adorable and slightly funny scene!What would you like to know about the masculine sex, Miss Di?Well, do you find a woman who admitted her feelings first to you awkward or even repulsive?Do you mind if I ask you why you’re asking me such a question, Mistress?I-I have a female friend… W-Who did just that and in our country such a deed, if made by any woman, is frowned upon. To some men, that is
Speak of the devil… I mean, the former Right Hand… “And that was how Eron was able to save me from the governor’s order of assassination,” the old senior citizen and village leader explained. “I know it sounds amazing yet incredible and unbelievable, Jack but everything I told you is the absolute truth.” “Well, I don’t doubt any part of your story, Senyor…” the lumberyard owner confessed as he continued to hold the blood-soaked old clothes on his employee’s still-raw wound. “Actually, a lot of things make sense now, especially my bro’s almost prophetic instincts and reactions to danger. And how fast he is plus his heightened senses, too. You probably had already honed them to be dangerously sharp due to your being an assassin, right E?” “Actually, they have already been sharpened years before my assassin days by training back at our packhouse due to my being competitive with my older brother,” Eron admitted with a sigh. “And like you bro, I really miss my older sibling so very muc
“Ok, Ogre. Everything is set. Just remember to find my friend at the fire department once you’re done with your rescue and he’ll take it from there…”“Bro, thanks. I really owe you for this one.”“Don’t sweat it, Hero. As long as you bring the governor down, it’s all good.”“So, I’ll be taking my leave now, boys,” the good Doctor Sheldon said a little anxiously. “You two take care of yourselves, you hear? And keep me updated with Eleuthera, all right?”“Will keep you posted, Doctor, don’t worry…”“Will you be using your same exit through the roof, bro?”“Yes, it’s much faster if I utilize that since I’m already used to it…”“I’ll be going to Kahlagu now to give you laddies the distraction you need to get enough space and time to complete your plans,” the elderly physician assured them as he was about to leave the Left Hand’s room, with his old-fashioned medical black bag in hand. “For the pack that moves as one!” “For the pack that moves as one!” echoes the two younger men as Hero
“What the hell is that ringing sound?” the startled governor asked Hero’s visiting doctor, who has now given the go signal for his “wounded” patient to work again.”I don’t think I’ve ever heard that sound before in my mansion!”“I believe that is your fire alarm, Sir Ed,” the surgeon said with obvious fearfulness in his voice. “It’s the same sound that we hear at the hospital when we have our fire drills!”At that exact moment, Nick burst into the governor’s bedroom while trying to catch his breath…“Governor Kahlagu! The Left Hand has gone to fight the fire while waiting for the firefighters,” the gentle giant cried as he exchanged quick-knowing looks with Doctor Sheldon. “But he told me to get you to safety first before he ran to look for the blaze inside the mansion.”Typical of the Ogre to prioritize his superior above his own safety, the corrupt politician said to himself as he began to run beside Nick who was already on his way out of a narrow side fire exit. I should really rew
“I was wondering where you have gone to, Erica. Are you waiting for Sir Eron and Miss Diwa to return soon?” The robotic-like whir of Lando’s automated wheelchair sounded in the darkening twilight on the Oro Vista Alpha’s porch where the chubby top-heavy teenager was leaning on the old but still-sturdy wooden barrier of the house’s breakfast nook. “Hello there, Orlie. Aren’t you going to have dinner? I’ve already made meatloaf and potatoes with gravy on the side. And I’ve made enough for us, including our guests from the city…” “I’ll eat later when you have dinner yourself so you can have company when you have your eating later, Rica,” the gentlemanly invalid stated decidedly. “We might even be able to wait for Boss Eros and your Mama to come back home by the time we have already decided to have dinner.” “No rush for that to happen, my dearest friend… Can I tell you a secret, Orlando?” “Yes, you can, Erica…” was the young lumberyard worker’s eager answer. “What is it?” “I had al
“Surrender now, Right Hand! We’ll make it short and sweet if you do that!” “Holy crap, Ogre, you really going to do this now? Yap yap yap instead of just shooting at me? Are we in a fucking B action movie or what?” “We mean it, A-Bomb, stop joking around! Better that you just give up the fight and spare yourself the torture once we gun you down!” “Surrender now, Right Hand! We’ll make it short and sweet if you do that!” “Holy crap, Ogre, you really going to do this now? Yap yap yap instead of just shooting at me? Are we in a fucking B action movie or what?” “We mean it, A-Bomb, stop joking around! Better that you just give up the fight and spare yourself the torture once we gun you down!” “Bro! That’s a classic bad-guy move, OK? Once you start monologuing, it’s over! You’re gonna lose for sure!” “Damn it, A! It’s fight or flight! What do you really want to do? But whatever you choose, be prepared for the consequences!” “Whatever I choose, I’m never going back! NEVER, you hear m
Where would you say is the best place to hide when you’re starting a new life? Some people say it’s in plain sight, right in front of the people who might look for you. Some others dream of a peaceful, quiet hideaway, that’s located a good distance from everything familiar. Like a remote lumberjack camp up in the mountains, so far, far away. “I can hardly believe that you were just a security guard back in your city, or how they let go of a guy that looks so menacing as you. Are you sure you were just that?” a smiling man with brown hair and blue eyes said. He was walking and talking with another man, with a similar description as his, having the same height of six feet, broader shoulders though, and a slightly more muscular body. Also, the second one happened to have brown-reddish hair, hazel eyes closer to green than brown, and a more obvious tan. It had been less than an hour since the job interview, and the employer decided to make sure his newly hired employee would be ok with
More than a decade ago… “Sorah, what are you doing out of the house at this time? You know we shouldn’t be outside at this hour!” A teenager Jack hissed/yelled to his sister, who was just a year older than him. “What? Nothing’s gonna happen! Besides, I’m technically not even outside the house, I’m just sitting on the roof, Jack, what could go wrong?” “I don’t know, but you know they tell us those stories for a reason, Sorah…” “The legends? Just fairy tales to keep us kids inside the house at night. Do you really believe that it is possible that something like a werewolf exists? I’m no longer a child and I can’t really believe those tales, brother, sorry.” “Just because you’re eighteen now, doesn’t mean that you just can do whatever, sis… Please, come back in or I’ll tell Mom and Dad.” “Ugh, fine, fine… you’re a traitor, Jack, you know that? And you talk like an old grandma.” “No, I’m your brother and I’m supposed to watch over you.” The young lady tried to go back inside the ho
