IN AN UNKNOWN PLACE...
Wind bustled through the branches of the trees making the leaves shiver at the coldness. Walking along the rocky path in the woods, the man looked like a lone stranded ghost in the haunted forest. If not for the look of familiarity, that could be seen in those silver eyes, one would think he was lost in that shadowy forest.
The trees continued their protest against the wind as it blew its leaves to the ground.
" How pathetic... Running away again..." The man muttered as he walked through the dark forest with ease as if he was very familiar with the place. Soon his footsteps slowed down and he finally halted as if he reached his destination, which looked like a cave.
He clenched his fists, boredom, and contempt apparent in his eyes as he gazed at the cave in front of him. After some time, he sighed and entered the cave silently, loosening his clenched fists.
---------------------------------------
The usual pitch-black darkness greeted the man as soon as he entered the cave. It was deadly dark inside but that didn't stop him from moving inside the cave not being bothered by the darkness while fluidly avoiding the rocks and obstacles on his way. He finally stopped in front of a vast block that looked like a bed made of rock and closing his eyes briefly, he muttered something.
As he opened his eyes slowly, a beam of light appeared on the cave's ceiling and fell on the rock bed with a strong force, also lighting up the entire cave.
The moment light engulfed the entire cave, all the bats and birds in the cave fled away noisily, but the man's eyes remained fixed on the spot before him. His attention was fixed on the rock bed- more like the body on the rock bed before him.
The man on the rock bed had his eyes closed, almost looking like a corpse but that didn't reduce his deadly charm even a bit. From his pearly hair to his honey skin and not to forget that striking face and body of his, he looked like a bewitching witch even with his eyes closed. He looked so pale and lifeless fooling anyone who looks at him but not Olen, the man who is standing before him. Olen knew that the man before him is not dead but is in a deep sleep for centuries.
Olen looked at the man lying before him and sighed.
" I know you can hear me. So, listen carefully." Olen said and paused. He then turned around and continued with his back facing the lifeless man, " She is back... with full of vengeance and darkness. That stubborn woman almost got us into trouble as soon as she came back, almost alerted the Cosmos by bringing Sedna to the gate. She apparently escaped when the curse broke and according to her, your sister's soul is also filled with pure darkness and vengeance. It might become a problem so, we need to create an alternate plan, just in case something goes wrong."
Olen sighed, a look of melancholy flashed in his eyes as he continued, " Do you think she hates me? Like she doesn't want me anymore? I flew here as soon as I felt her presence. I don't wanna face her yet. Not until everything settles down."
"When will you wake up? It's been centuries since you slept. Wake up already. It's so frustrating."
The eerie silence was the only thing that answered him and Olen sighed as he closed his eyes. All the memories of her, her smile, her anger, and her death, everything started playing in his mind again and again like a broken record and Olen felt his heartache terribly as if it was being crushed by an invisible hand.
And as he had immersed himself in her memories, the man on the rock bed suddenly moved. His fingers twitched slightly and slowly his thick dark lashes fluttered open.
He stared at the cave ceiling first then in the next moment, his head tilted and his pair of gorgeous purple eyes looked towards Olen.

After a goodnight's sleep, worry and unease greeted Sirena the next morning as she looked at the ocean. Her heart was feeling heavy and something seemed to be screaming in her mind, trying to notify her about something.
"What's wrong with me?" Sirena sighed as she clenched her fists.
She raised her head to look at the ocean when her heart skipped a beat all of a sudden. She clasped her heart trying to ease the jitters by rubbing her chest but the strange ache in her heart continued increasing with no signs of it ceasing.
Sirena breathed heavily and after a few minutes, she felt a little better with the strange uneasiness fading away somewhat. Grabbing the water bottle near the table she took a big gulp and sighed feeling the water running down her throat, flushing away the heaviness in her chest on its way.
She was about to take another sip when all of a sudden, everything around her stilled. Strong winds started blowing and as if it lost its cool, the Ocean became stormy all of a sudden as the huge waves clashed with each other down the mountain.
THUD...
The bottle from her hand slipped to the ground with a thud and Sirena's eyes widened as she felt that presence.
"LADY SALYCIA..."
