There was an unusual breeze blowing, It appeared that at any moment my heart could take the shape of a dust storm overflowing emotions around Gabriel.

When dusk fell, the roads dipped into darkness that was then bravely battled by the glowing yellow and white streetlight but one thing flabbergasted. It was the book.

Gabriel brought a warm cup of coffee for me invitingly but his skin had a slightly rough edge to it while he passed through the cup, he gazed into my eyes like eternalised.

"That book, what is it about?" I questioned while taking a sip of coffee.

"Suspicious, I wondered if people are least interested these days." He giggled as he continued.

"Ianthe, better known as Amara because of her great power throughout becoming the
symbol— Brightness to balance Darkness. Doom Destiny to balance destructive death. Night to balance Day. Sleep to balance life. Old age to balance immortality.

Amara is becoming a symbol of prosperity. She craved for a normal life but these powers inside indulged her people to fear Ianthe's power in her actions, Even the strongest ally couldn't resist her power. In her last Moment of a kind nature the darkness replaced brightness. She cast a spell, empowered by her own fate to find something.

Violent rituals take place after her disappearance, over the span  of 2 decades.

During this period of time, several members sacrificed their lives for an unknown reason. Intending to become involved with unleashing the world but Only remains destructive death, Darkness Henceforth.

"There's no particular details About Ianthe, On her disappearance or what happened later by, There's nothing." He said with a disappointment.

"I adore Ianthe now, I'm much into research and analytical work or unknown sources which fascinate me." I said

Gabriel did not utter a word though he placed the book on the shelf and made his way towards the kitchen with the empty coffee mugs.

"Can I use the restroom Gabriel?" I asked.

"Sure upstairs, Right corner." He replied.

"Thanks," I smiled.

The house was mesmerising with ancient masterpieces, lavish flooring and the stairs were of wooden and the rare flower species. As I entered the room, I heard a Male voice in a dazzling dim yellow light.

"Who's that? I was bothered by the voice as I Questioned.

"I asked you what the hell you are doing in my room?" A male voice, just as harsh as the first time. His long legs stride towards me, I could not see his face as it was covered with a book. My mind is whirling. He rudely clears his throat and waves his hand upwards.

"Sorry, I was looking for something

"Sorry, I was looking for something." I said my voice was barely audible.

He takes a step down the bed and lets out a deep breath. I gestured to his bed, causing my eyes to follow his sight now, I scattered to find Elijah in this house.

He silently stares at me and while I am startled, he bursts into laughter. He looked my flattered face and laughs, his laugh was indeed so deep almost felt like a tune of mesmerising sound. Dimples indent in his cheeks as he continues to laugh and I feel like a complete idiot, unsure what to do or say. I don't usually like conflict and a secretive things around.

"Elijah?" I murmured.

"Hello Aiyana, I guess we had a plan to meet around 5 for a coffee." He said.

"I'm extremely sorry Elijah, I completely forgot about it." I said.

"Have you come here like a thief, To apologise to me? Ahem." He asked with a weird smile.

"Uh, Ahem, I'm sorry I just stay across the road, actually Gabriel invited me to stay until the locksmith arrives." I uttered.

"Oh damn, Gabriel. I'll be right back after welcoming my beloved brother."

"Your brother?"

"Gabriel is my uncles son, I  lost my way around books, I didn't realise that someone even came through the door." He said and ran out like a fastest creature on this world.

I did my chores and leaned over the comfortable bed, All the worries, stress seemed to fade away as I fell asleep.

"The world faded in to show the edge of a forest with sunlight shining through. Upon reaching the edge, a clearing came into view, unveiling an extravagant castle surrounded by gardens. Something about the castle was alluring and drew me into it. As I got to the garden, a patch of flowers caught my eye. Bluish-purple and pink flowers bunched together under the shadow of rose bushes. Entranced by them, I plucked a bluish-purple one and held it between my fingers but the flower dries quickly as it was cursed.

I witnessed the violent rituals taking place right in front of my eyes while the tears rushing down, People were sacrificing a young women intending to seek mercy from those demons to spare their lives, and consider the offering a women to those.

That young women seeking me in her last moments. She Whispered that lives are sacrificed for the right cause as I intending to rise again and bring a destructive deaths and darkness.

Her words broke my sleep, frightening me to the core of my mind, things felt so real and I could still feel her words in mine.
