"I would've prayed for Them to go easy on you too." He moves and his eyes are on me, eyes where they are brimming with tears, but his soft smile confuses me. Gently caressing my temple, he gazes at me as if I'm the most delicate treasure. His lips kiss my fingers. "They did. A few years late but They did. Their mercy on me is you." ______________ While World War II is absorbed in its own devastation, a runaway slave stumbles upon a meadow.

Several stings shoot all over my body. As if I'm waxing. What's happening? The hunter is... shrinking. "Ahem! As I was saying, you must be wondering why I gathered all of you here-" A high-pitched scream almost deafens my right ear. Oh. Heck. No. Far at the corner, the sweet, elderly woman keeps getting bigger. Her head hits the elevator ceiling and her body pushes people to the walls! The ladies scream more when their ears are growing pointed. A bang beside me and I whip around. The handsome man... His skin turns pitch black. His hair is turning silver. His fist clutches the collar of the shrinking man and holds him against the metal wall. "Why did you de-glamourise us!?" the fair-haired man scolds. His white baring teeth stand stark against the midnight face. "You'll get me attacked!" I huff, resigning to whatever asinine plan I'll be subjected to. I thought it was a rumour but I guess not. "You're not alone." He shoots a fiery glare at me, and then his look soon softens. I feel my horns pop up under my hair. ____________________ Natrith focuses on a few things in her quiet life in Kuala Lumpur.
