Flowers bloom in spring, but I have seen some even in the scorching summer wind, some in the life-sucking winter breeze, and some sustaining in the shedding autumn whiff,
Who would claim the season of blooming when all the seasons spin in the same ring?! Still, why does spring win every single bit?
*a few moments before, the dungeon *
"Or else...? " the bald man with a scorpion tattoo said bumping his fist to his other hand, to settle a fear inside that lean malnutrition boy,
However,
"Kh... Kh.....zzz," The sleepyhead was all gone in his peaceful sleep already leaving all the rest aloof, the girl with half dark inked face standing in behind chuckled very dubiously at that bald man,
That the Scorpio guy shifted his fingers over his hairless skull in irritation, and dashed his rock-like feet onto that disgusting drool-dripping face, grinding his teeth-
"I will crush you to bits! "
But, like a thunderbolt, his feet inevitably stopped in mid-air just above that drooling guy's sharp-edged face, as if his feet were pulled by the strings of the puppeteer,
That the highly muscular gym guy who has been charged with a dozen of murders attempted to break that string force, but the mid-air foot started to be crippled with more force-
'Is there any defense mechanism in the dungeon to stop prison beating and killing? ' he acknowledges still pursuing the skull of the boy, but then a sudden jolt climb to the crest of his femur and he tumbles to the bottom dirt at once, as if falling like an autumn leaf,
"...agh Ah, my leg! " he cried in despair of the 13th attempt to kill a person which has gone unsuccessful for the first time, and also to impress the lass standing behind who had begun to laugh as if under, Pseudobulbar effect, as she commented in sarcasm-
"Haha... What a shame...Matt, that stick is just catnap, and you? You couldn't even kick his ass... Ha! You must retire now! " and pat his scorpion shoulder with her cat grin,
However, leaving all the stoves open on TNT,
"Tsk! "
He bites his lips through the edge of his sharp canine and without giving it another thought like a mad ass, he crawled like a black mamba onto his numbed knee, toward that boy in that killer look as he ponders extremely vigorously with those sharp nails which were filled with dirt-
'You dare to kick my prestige, you loathe? '
However,
The jet-haired boy's bloodshot eyes abruptly unlocked and he stand up from his sleeping position like an acrobat with an aloof look on his face, dodging that black mamba cum scorpion like a stinging ant,
"You---" the black mamba arced swiftly baffled by that abrupt defense, resting his crumb knee on the ground and his breath which was growing irregular from intense exercise still anger raging in his soul, but how long?!
Until' his breath stuck in his lungs and a stick-like hand twisted around his throat finally for an attack,
And with a final crack, the scorpion's head was ripped from his spine and was neutralized by the sting that rested at the back of his shoulder, and his body has now turned into a corpse- head in the one corner and body in the second,
"Ahhhh!!! Matt! Don't--" the half-inked girl screamed glimpsing at the most brutal devour she ever witness and fall to the ground in that trembling shock of that locked door of that dungeon with that body whose hand was filled with thick blood and the face as if showered by the same wasn't as angelic as before, and his non- humane body luster in a thick gloaming ambiance, as he turned to the breathless girl without any care-
"please leave me... Please...I beg you..." she cried dragging her petrified self but...
Aloof and cold as he said ascending his blooded hand to his bloody gaze-
"Your pitch is so sharp that it has slaughtered my sleep, do you think I will let you go so easy? "
"Please...Agh! Ahhhh!!!! Spare...m...Aghhhh!!!!"
But, he leaped onto the inked lass and painted her bloody with his own bare hands slaughtering her from her throat to her alimentary, like multiple swords at a single time- her pupil of purple color grew dilated and all her attempts drew to air,
She was no more...
He stands on his knees rubbing his thumb to the tip of his tongue, and blood dripping off his body as he had just showered, and then glimpsed at the whole dungeon at once- which was quite dark and dead in its way, only the water from the ceiling dropped in peace-
*Drip*
*Drip*
And that voice of water forms a unison bass in itself, as he looked at his bloody hand again and cried recklessly-
"I need all the blood in this universe!!!! "
However, abruptly,
As if he was waked of his madness, he looked around like a lost lamb, holding his hand to his head thinking - 'Where am I? And why my hand is so--'
(Wet?) ha! It's blood!
His breath started to break as if oxygen was being sucked out of the dungeon, and he falls to his feet, with those shivering hands stained with blood as he tried to calculate-
"What... What? " he again peeks around, but only he could see that massacred body of two in this cold place where he shut his eyes as if adhesion, so that either this nightmare end soon or else this all disappears cause 'it can't be real, it can't be real' he chanted inside him who was now crouched into a bundle in the middle,
But...*Creak*
The small iron door to the dungeon unfurled with a rusting sound- and a shadow with large wings scattering spread onto the floor of the damp ancient dungeon, and enunciate with a chuckle -
"The aroma of fresh blood is unconquerable indeed"
But for the boy, he could still feel his heart melting out of his chest as he said through his trembling bloodied lips-
"I didn't do anything *Sob* "
"I know it...brother"
The man with wings lips twists to grin...
And then... Everything was blank in the boy's vision as far as he could see and then slowly he drift away like in a sea...
Guess what?
He fell asleep again!
****
"Mom...mom..." Through the thin legs that rested for a sunbath over those moist grass, a cute little sunflower like a five-year-old emerged over innocently, softly shaking the feet of the chocolate brown-haired lady who was lying peacefully on the wet grass of the lawn, on such a sunny day of December that her soul was charring but she didn't care if it burns to ash,
'cause you never knew when you will meet such a sun again?!
Abruptly, like a pang in her amusement, finally, she felt little pressure applied to her delicate thigh, as she unlock one of her pointed sleek eyes against the shining sun-
"What is it, ooze?" she questioned lifting her head to a height from that soothing wet grass on which her hair fed like a foreign kind of grass expansion, fluttering her fingers through the boy's gentle flat-ironed black hairs that were pinching inside his gazes, as he asked with that big genial ance over his face-
"Mom, tell me that story again"
"..."
With a lazy expression, She stretched her both arms onto the grass bed and then let them fall to her both sides of the shoulder, and then all of a sudden she popped up against intense pain that was flowing through her hind limbs to the forehead, to sit with a straightened spine over her moist cool grass, that filled her pink sweater backside and her captivatinhairsrs which has world recognition for, at least the world around her does, were now filled with the debris of dried grass and fallen leaves, sticking into them,
"Agh... Which one? The big wolf story? Or Lethel Birdcatcher?" she polled with a child-like finger onto her cheek,
However, he shakes his head from left to right and left-hand index finger like a clock- first anti then clockwise, in absolute 'no'!
"Then the tale of the Radium-eyed Cyclopes?"
Still no...
"What about Swordsman's blade and rolling heads? "
He bubbled his cheeks and swung his head strongly imitating no, no, and NO!
She immediately clasped his little skull between both her soft- fluffy palms impeding his head motion, as she frown with rage looking at him with that red iris of hers-
"Ooze, your head will come out of your spine at such a pace! "
However, with a final force although not enough he dragged his face away from his beloved mother, still cheeks red and swollen in anger-
"Humph! Mommy doesn't know my choice! She's bad mommy! " and locks his little youthful arms over his flat chest,
But then...she let go of his beautiful messy face with a wildly disappointed face and sighed touching her swollen belly calmly and teasingly-
"Okay, I guess baby alone will be hearing the spring story then"
Hearing this much, the red eyes of a grumpy guy with swollen cheeks glint like red-spinel and he veers his head to 'The bad mommy' in an impulsive swift and a shy smile over his little dumpling face-
"Yeah! Spring story! I knew Mommy knew Ooze's choice! " and began to hop over the piece of grassland on which he was standing like a kangaroo, although-
"Bad mommy doesn't tell the spring story to a god-awful kid! " imitating his past expression she declared, also bubbled her cheek and cross her hand under her breast,
"Mommy...You are the best mommy in this entire world, please tell me and baby the spring story...please..." he leans his hands on his mother's thigh and glimpses with those apologizing innocent eyes, and that puppy-like face, "Please..."
'How can someone be so aww? '
That Martha, his mom couldn't feign anymore and busted into a giggle as she lifted the child not too pudgy than a pig, into her arms to any extent of height and then kiss his round cheeks,
"Okay baby and future big brother(she looks down), so now I am going to recite the anecdote about the queen who was named 'Caduceus' by all of her lands, she was lethal like that two snakes poised on the staff and was quick to even know her enemy's scar, she was a ruthless beautiful protector of the arcadian for millions of years on that throne of aegis... "
"Mom, she doesn't become old like granny Fen? " the child asked in curiosity and his mother swung her head with closed eyes in "No" with a profound seriousness instilled inside,
"She was birthed from an eternal source, she can only be killed physically by another man's sword, not by age or any malady, that was her destiny, however, every time death came like a sleeky tiger, she evaded her death, and killed every harbinger of death with only one swing of her shining double-edged rapier" and swing her hands in the bright sunlight as if she was swinging a blade to cut the sunlight however, then she slowly let her hand fall with her face that setting like the bright sun,
"But all those years, she has been considered bloodthirsty that everyone feared her with all their hearts but no one knew behind her rage and craving for blood, ... She was lonely"
Abruptly,
The little boy wrapped his tiny arms around his mom and declared very innocently-
"Mommy, don't be sad, I will befriend her"
Amazed and amused,
"Surely you would surely have if you were present at that time" she commented patting the little boy's back gently, with a wide smile,
"But...like my little ooze, there was a very handsome prince called
'Sebuku' who was tasked to embezzle the jewel, so, was a like another foe to her and it was her duty to safeguard the 'Arcadiun', so there a fight broke out between the two! "
The boy shrugs his shoulder and scooches close to his mom who was telling a story with such an epic interest,
"She drew her mighty sword and jumped over the foreigner, but he was also strong and brisk that he dodge the attack with his silver sword in defense and said very politely- 'I just ask for the jewel, not your blood'
Caduceus grew baffled and riled that this man think he will be able to take her blood, stupid (She chuckled imitating, and brush her hair violently off her face with a jolt)
'I will cleanse the jewel with your blood' she shouted with contempt and began running with her rapier striving at his heart--"
The young boy frightfully pressed his ears with his palms and shoved his face with eyes closed inside the grass,
"Ooze..." she lean a bit toward him softly and brush the grass off his scared skull, which he asked with utmost guilelessness,
"Did he die?"
A little waddy smile comes to her soft lips as he lifts the scared boy-
"The sword that was aimed at his heart by that beautiful girl, he grabbed that sword in his one mighty right palm that the blood was now running like a river, and he just said through his pressed lips and glitter eyes of tears- ' I just want to go home ' and lost consciousness at once,
At least, It was the best time to behead him then but...
the ruthless protector was stunned- of course, he was vulnerable compared to any foe she fought in those million years but something was different in him... she saw herself in him- a lost person who was finding a home to call 'mine' but at least he had one, that the sword that she was pointing to his fragile heart, she threw it to a distance like rubbish and her head was spinning with this unknown feeling- it was not anger, bitterness or loneliness, it was a feeling of shame, that she never felt... And it was spirling in a big void-
'A home? ' "
Abruptly, the vision begins to tarnish like a thick mist blinding the beautiful sunny day and the satisfied laughter with voice begins to echo-
"A home?..."
Suddenly out of nowhere, his brain gain its consciousness into the voltage of 10 million at once-
'Uncle?'
*On the other hand, in community hall*
*Bang bang*
The only door which was both entrance and exit to that hall started to thud from outside as if someone was beating the thick metal portico to bang it open,
However,
"The end of near!! " the populace at the door stretched far from the gate shrinking to the rest of the injured who lay on the ground, with a very hysteretic stage counting the last few minutes of their existence which has hung around,
"Don't panic! " the principal sir cried, and rush to the head of the crowd as if a protecting shield, but nowhere was assured that he could be able to protect the children, he had vowed to but still he was there to give them hope- an unshakable faith in god,
"God cleanse my soul of all the sins I have committed, that I shall see tomorrow's sunrise in Eden," he said holding the little silver cross that he always used to what around his neck, many children started to hum the same holding each one hand,
However, how unshakable the faith was the door started to vibrate at last like it was going to break and the concrete dust also started to shed from the wall,
Even the teachers and children started to weep and shake in the fear of death which has finally found their door,
'It indeed is the day of the end ' The principal swabbed his forehead of sweat, and his body which was turning cold, but he still keep on singing even if how shaken he was from inside-
"God cleanse my soul of all the sins I have committed, that I shall see tomorrow's sunrise in Eden,"
"I never knew we will die like this" the queen sobbed and press her head into the king's chest,
"But... At least we are together" he smiled with tears dripping like a river from his transparent glass-grey eyes, as she tighten his grip on the queen,
However, behind "Where's my pumpkin?.." the puffy guy was finding the lost goddess everywhere without any thoughts (of survival) rather than- imaging her calling very seductively to him- 'Oh my buttercup'
'Oh my lifetime is a success ' he thought with a drooling smile,
But... She wasn't anywhere to be found- "pumpkin? Goddess? ..." and neither the sleepy head-
'Did they both runaway? ' he thought heartbroken,
However, abruptly, the portico broke flyingly like a tin door!
And the queen pressed herself with those closed eyes into the king and cried her last-
"I love you!"
But, there was an unexpected silence!
Was it silence before death?!
Or worst?!
Unexpectedly, "Pumpkin..." the puffy guy said rubbing his eyes, hearing this Everyone unlocked their eyes, too
"Goddess..." queen run from the crowd towards the neon-eyed goddess who has saved her love, but now she was dressed in an ancient Greek-like dress, her face radiant but serious utmost serious and baffled as he pushed her hand before the queen to halt her in disgust and coldness,
"Whoever deity you worship, I'm not that one, and just stay away from me or else your head will be rolling! "
"Goddess, what has happened to you?" the nonplused queen asked knowing maybe the goddess can give such unrealistic warnings but she wasn't that cold to her in any case,
But, giving no shit,
The goddess moved herself to the face of the frightful group of young- old-
"I'm Crinhi, the soulmate of the joker who you all preferably call Sleepyhead or Abe Menick... I ask you all to bring Joker to me so that he could put an end to the apocalypse that is unraveling behind us all"
Almost everyone started to laugh out that left them baffled- 'Sleepyhead seriously? '
"I knew she had some screw to repair up here"
But, "Silence! "
the principal cried with his deep old but still prominent voice that everyone shrugs some consciousness back and drew silent and he walked with his both hands behind-
"Crinhi, you were among us right now, how did you get out without unlocking the door? " and asked in peace,
But-
"That's not possible, I was stuck in the time loop and have just arrived right now" the answer very compassionately,
"but you saved Teren, and sleepy-(Abe) also," the queen said,
Abruptly, "Find him and 'other' me now! He must be in great danger if she has already reached in contact here! " the goddess screamed commanding, all the frightened students,
"Who?!" "Soi" her neon eyes sheen in-depth...
*Present day, place- still anonymous *
"Soi, did you ever regret following me? " the lady with black hair asked in curiosity as she stroked her sword onto a stone to sharpen it,
"Why should I, my lady? I have chosen it all by myself...for revenge for the blood of all who have shoved me down in the dirt " She shoved her fist into the basket that circle down onto the floor, and a cobra snake almost an arm's length stretch out of the basket running with its needle-like fangs towards the lady, but,
"And? " the black hair lady carelessly asked blowing the metal dust off the blade the snake was just close enough to sprinkle its venom when the golden-haired goddess grab it like a toy off the floor from its jab that it wouldn't move its nerve just tail rattling but then she brings it close to her eyes- looking straight into his hissing green diamond eyes with a mystical smile-
"Now I am a ravishing venomous tree in the middle of Eden" and the lady cut the hissing snake through its black scaled middle length from her sharpened blade and smiled-
"Perfect"
