Celestina and I, awaited for our arrival to the port. I'm getting anxious anyhow, stepping foot to a kingdom that shove me away due to a event I can't control.
I am looked at Celestina with a concerned face, yet she persevered as she hold my hands and took our first step towards the port. I could feel the pressure going through me with each step, Celestina holds my hands tightly as we carry on to the concrete land.
It's jarring really, seeing the Espoir Kingdom once again has given me a slight hint of nostalgia. I've been at Libertè for so long that I have forgotten the landscape of this kingdom.
As per usual, I enchanted Celestina's ears with magic to avoid her being known as an elf. This is it, this is where I shall walk my steps and be shunned by everyone!
***
Eloise's really tense, I could feel her hands getting cold and sweating crazy. Her sweat's dropping as if it's raining! Her breathing is quite abnormal. She's experiencing a panic attack!
I grabbed her head, and kissed her. Along with the kiss is a calming magic to help her with her panic attack.
Her heartbeat turned normal, but I could still feel the lingering nervousness through the shakiness of her hands.
***
This feeling going through inside me. I feel like it's me against the world, with every gaze, I feel like there's an immense hatred within their eyes. Hatred from all of the things I've done.
Do I even deserve Celestina? This the woman that had let her friends die in vain, what if it happened again? Would I even protect her?
I'm plundering to this depth of darkness that I can't escape. Espoir Kingdom does bring some bad memories.
***
Eloise and I arrived at the place were going to stay momentarily, before going towards a friend of hers. Or rather, a former one.
As we entered the inn, we were greeted with a malicious gaze. A gaze of hatred and death.
"No wonder the air is getting thin. It's the bitch that got her friends killed." the clerk said.
***
Devone. She's still managing this inn, I'm not surprised. It's been only a month since I left.
"I'd like to have a room for two please." Celestina nonchalantly said.
"You're with that bitch?" Devone side-eyed her.
Celestina nodded.
"A friendly advice... It's still early to disassociate from this bitch."
Celestina grabbed the keys forcefully as she dropped our payment into the table that broke into pieces.
***
We arrived at our room, after endlessly walking through this big inn. I could see Eloise being down, her eyes are full of nothingness. Sadness, a husk of what was once her former happiness.
She's just like a ghoul, can't talk nor can't react. What should I do?
***
I can't stay here, knowing Devone it's only a matter of time before she could tell everyone that I ever knew I am here.
Before I could even react, Celestina suddenly kissed me. Eh? What??
Slowly, her hands shift it's way through my legs. Slowly rising through my chest. Not even long till I realized that she's stripped her clothes, and the only thing that she is wearing is her lingerie.
Seems like I know what she's doing.
*** [A few Hours Later]
Me and Eloise entered one another, I can't believe how impressive how she used her hands.
Eloise slowly drifted off from exhaustion, leaving me with satisfaction. I conjured clothes with magic, as I stand up and threw an ice shard that went straight through the door.
"I admire your confidence in eavesdropping on a couple's fun! State your business!"
As the door slowly crumbles into pieces, what shows beyond the door is a pinned man with a rather large smile on his face.
"What an entertainment per se lady... Say, you're her girlfriend?"
I nodded.
"Funny, I've always thought that I'll be the one that's going to take her virginity."
His face suddenly turned into somewhat psychotic, his smile reaches as far as to his ear. Before I could even know it, he was freed from the ice shard and cast pressure magic into me.
I dispelled it immediately, but he was too fast that I wasn't able to catch him. He went straight through Eloise, but he was thrown out of the room as blood splattered across the wall, leaving him to nothing but a blob of flesh.
"Did you just-"
"I did, not gonna let someone have a memory of me naked."
Eloise conjured clothes with magic, as she disposed of the body using the magic of the artifacts.
"You know him?"
"It's one of Beau's lackeys."
Beau? Isn't that the man that Eloise had a conflict with?
"What's their purpose, Eloise?"
"I thought that they dissolved after Beau's death, but it seems that they're coming to get us. Revenge per say."
This is going to be... Hard.
