THE RISE OF EXILE

SOUNDLESS(PART 3)

(I always wish that there will be a  day to  come when darkness reigned the world forever and when that time came, I could show my true self that I did not just show to anyone every day)

Sumire activates her trouver when the territory is lost. When she activated it once again Sumire was stunned when she did not feel any heartbeat, even within her companion. Sumire looked at them behind her back, she was surprised when they summoned already their magical beasts.

Grant's fiery lion roaring, standing beside him. A Golden Eagle with two heads with one eye on each head blazing with crimson eyes flying above Preston. A green bronze adorned giant hummingbird with blue crest feathers,  a brilliant turquoise gorget, and a black line on its white underpaths, hovering beside Zake who's observing the situation seriously.

"Preston, release Rowan.". Sumire orders Preston, he then releases Rowan who is still in the Air coffin lying unconscious.

Since Sumire is a rare sorceress, one of the Selten's greatest hunters in the Exile empire, and has exceptional magic ability among the Vermins,  she also can summon a magical beast to an ordinary sorcerer if she wants to. Sumire then holds Rowan's pulse.

"I summoned you as your Master's captain..", and in less than a second later Rowan's magical beast appeared. A colossus emerald green bull with five horns stood on the solid ground, formidable and prodigious wild. Its wings carefully flipped off at its back. It stared at Sumire.

"Bring your Master to the location am about to give you". Sumire looks at the bull intently. A black seed appeared on Sumire's right hand. "Ha, he also gave me something useful", Sumire smirked. That seed is the seed of Narco's black rose that he gave to Sumire as a present on her birthday.

"You can only imagine anything while holding this seed and it will be granted...hmmm..that's what he told me" she murmured.

The ground beneath Rowan changed. Rowan was suddenly wrapped up on a root of a black rose tree and tied to the back of its magical beast, this is what Sumire picturing out on her mind.

"This is childish. I can't believe I did what that rascal said tho it's useful.." she said while looking at the roots crawling on Rowan's body tightly. Sumire walked towards the bull and rubbed its forehead, by then it immediately saw the location she had rendered to it.

"Protect your Master". Sumire commands the bull, it left and makes its way.

Sumire closed her eyes and cleared her mind, her magical beast standing beside her do the same thing. Less than a minute later, Sumire and her magical beast secrete a green serene aura, which is visible to the naked eye. Between gaps in the forest's canopy, lances of its chartreuse beams splashed onto the ground. The flow of her green aura is very smooth and soared above, slowly disseminate in every corner of the house. Preston, Zake, and Grant felt calmness yet something dangerous in her presence. Sumire's dominating aura came down to her opponent.

.........

"Ah, I thought people were just exaggerating the way they described and praised how powerful she was, I can sense an immense amount of power within her from here, I unconsciously became her fan..." A headless woman in a black wedding dress said. Noli was her name.

They were in the deepest part of the house where the light and warmth from the sun cannot invade. They were inside the dome, surrounded by unnamed creatures, some were lurking around the corner. She was accompanied by her husband named Irus and their only child, Noir. The family seated at the empty dining table, nothing has been served, silver platters and glossy coal-black tablecloths were artistically placed in front of them, prevailing boldly patterned.

The place overwhelmed by great pressure, their intimidating presence holds a great power to annihilate anyone from their way. The deafening silence embedded thru the walls of the room.

"No wonder our son has a hard time killing her even though he trapped her twice in his territory" Irus, on the other hand, ill-humored his only son.

"She was marked by the Angel of Death himself. I didn't get a chance to get close to her, it's not just a mark, it has a curse attached to it.." Noir reason out.

"She already has the mark so she will die eventually, why didn't kill her in the first place? Even if you die in the process, a little sacrifice will help the plan". Irus unhappily said.  Noir grabbed his neck and squeezed it slightly then looked at his father.

"Since you love killing so much then why don't you do it all by yourself?". Noir said sarcastically.

 A great silence broke upon the hall, Irus didn't like what he heard from him, he stood up at the end of the table and immediately summoned his magical beast, a black headless snake having extremely large size crawling on the ground, appeared domineering.

Meanwhile Noir, on the other side of the table, summoned his magical beast, the White Male Centaur standing eminently, with a red horn on its forehead, carrying a magic black bow and arrow. It is one of the ten magical beasts and has the ability to speak.

 The tension that was built up between the two of them arose as the earth beneath them begins to crumble. Their dark auras prevail all around.

"If it weren't for us, you're good as dead!". Irus shouted yet Noir crookedly smiled at him.

"I guess you are expecting a thank you from me since I am still breathin' alive and kickin' because of you? Should I be merry that my good loving parents forced me to witness their horrendous job? Should I be thankful that you deceived and consumed hundredths of people in Morye just because you got the perfect result from your experiment? And do you think I should be happy that until now...you are still with me?...". Noir said wearing his nasty face, the mockery can be heard in the tone of his speech. Irus' deathly glare pierced him, he was about to throw an assault when Noli, his wife, stopped him.

"Don't do anything despicable to our son. That's bad." Noli holds her husband's wrist, Noir smirked towards his father.

"You should listen to your headless wife, Be a good father." Noir scoffed. Irus groaned loudly, smashed in a different direction that was left on the air, and then sat down.

"Once I kill Sumire, You'll be the next..". Irus said in a threatening tone and turned his way.

"Kill her...", Noir paused a little "...if you can." He added while smiling wickedly.

"It wasn't nice to meet you, rotten cretins.."

A plangent voice coming out in the midst of nowhere caught the attention of the three people who are now looking at the broken door. Sumire bursting thru the door and was now standing in front of them, coldly. The creatures around them gave way to Sumire.

"Finally, the main course!". Noir said excitedly when he saw Sumire and her colleagues slowly approaching, looking appalling.

"Too bad my pet swallowed one of your troops," The mother of the family said then laughed like a madwoman.

"Even if you are headless, I can see that you really enjoyed your last minute..". Sumire replied coldly, she saw how the headless woman stopped. Sumire look around and caught the eye of the man she had seen earlier who smiled smugly at what she was saying, she stared at him.

"I don't know what your real motive is but you said yourself that not everything I see is true, so everything I see now I will bring an end to it, be it real or not"

"Noir..". He said briefly that and met Sumire's gaze. "...remember my name." He added and turned his back to her. By that moment, the unknown creatures around them began to attack.

"My dear pets, kill them all." Noli cries in so much happiness.

"And serve them to us.." Irus standing proudly as he commands them.

Noir just leaned back in his chair and looked up at the ceiling. "What time will Sumire finish them,? hmnn..." He asked himself, then yawned. "I'm sleepy...". He said and slowly closed his eyes.
