Virtuoso Stories

"I'm only kidding you, Mit." I lightly tapped his shoulder and didn't bother holding back my laugh at his shocked face. "You know, for being THE GUY of the planet who excels at everything, you're pretty gullible." I chuckled and looked up at the moons, noticing how they were perpetually aligned against each other. Two moons were definitely beautiful together, especially with all the light they casted. I nearly jumped out of my skin when Mit took my hand. I looked at him, eyes wide and surprised as he took my other hand and held the knuckles to his chest. With his height, he looked down on me. Eyes oozing with sincerity, he took a deep breath. Mit was softly smiling down at me. I found myself doing the same. "Nyx, we have been through a lot these past nights. I have many duties that I need to fulfill for my people. You have given me the adventure of a light year, and, as an enormous act of appreciation, I will grant you your wish." He paused for a dramatic effect. With the amount of odd things we've been through the past few 'days', it didn't surprise me that even aliens had a knack for dramatizing things. "I accept your proposal to bear my children, Nyx." I nearly had a spaz attack. "WHAT THE HECK!" I drew my hands back, giving me an appalled look. "Are you on drugs? What do you mean 'bear' your 'children'?" I had a freak-out session right then and there. He frowned completely confused. "But, I thought the aforementioned, 'kid' means offspring. You said you were 'kidding' me. Is that not what it means?" "What the hell are you-oh, God," I clutched my face. "I'm going to remind myself to watch what I say to you now." "But I thought speaking is an act of vocal release? How would you 'watch' what you 'say'?" I gave him a tired look. "Please stop talking." "Okay-as the humans would say."

DEATH Death is like an entrance Where every souls shall pass through Regardless of thy competence Death is a naked truth It strikes without alarming Jeopardises victim's plans The leg and the hand are falling A strong man becomes helpless man People often forgets About the greatest destroyer of joy And makes some falls in the pit of regrets With their lives they toy(ed) Do not forget the last dress In white garment you'll be shrouded Do not forget the day you'll be voiceless Beneath a dark room you'll be locked You might live long like Noah A day shall come you'll be covered with soil Both the Jin and Human(s) You'll be taken away from life of toil We beseech for a good ending When our souls will travel out of the earth Bestowed upon our souls mercy and blessing Before and after we take our last breath ©KEWUTOLA AHMAD AL-MUBARAK VIRTUOSO

In the shadowed realm of Ionia, a chilling crescendo rises as a malevolent symphony takes hold. Jhin, the virtuoso of death, has unleashed a reign of terror, casting the tranquil province into chaos. His artistic approach to murder leaves the land trembling, the populace fearful, and the authorities mystified. As the body count rises and panic spreads, an unlikely trio steps forward. Zed, the master of shadows, Shen, the Eye of Twilight, and Akali, the Rogue Assassin, form an uneasy alliance to decipher the mind behind the gruesome masterpiece. Bound by their oath to protect Ionia, they plunge into a maelstrom of dark secrets, cryptic clues, and eerie symbolism left by the meticulous killer. Amidst a city consumed by paranoia, the trio uncovers Jhin's macabre motives and delves into the twisted corners of his psyche. Racing against time, they piece together the horrifying puzzle, connecting the dots between the victims and the chilling patterns etched into each murder scene. But as the pursuit intensifies, the line between justice and vengeance blurs, threatening to consume them all. As Jhin's symphony of death reaches a fever pitch, Zed, Shen, and Akali draw ever closer to their elusive quarry. Their dangerous gambit pushes them to their limits, leading to a final confrontation that shatters their worldviews. With Ionia's fate hanging in the balance, they must confront their own inner demons while facing a force more sinister than they could have ever imagined. In a nail-biting climax that unfolds like a deadly dance, the three find themselves ensnared in Jhin's meticulous web, their every move anticipated. As the final notes of the symphony echo through the night, the line between hunter and hunted blurs, and the chilling truth is laid bare.
