Chapter 18:
Life of Sophia Sagittarius
“Let’s get moving,” he said, offering Sophia his hand. “We’re not staying here longer than we need to.” Sophia hesitated for a second before taking his hand. It was warm, steady, and somehow, despite the fear gnawing at her, she felt a little more at ease with him beside her.
The Breach of the Black Lily was an eerie, oppressive place. The air was thick with the scent of decay mixed with the pungent sweetness of black lilies that grew everywhere, their dark petals littering the ground like ash. The walls, made of blackened stone, absorbed the faint, dying light, casting everything in deep shadow.
Thorny vines of black lilies curled around rusted iron grates, climbing up toward the jagged arches above, where shattered glass windows let in thin beams of moonlight that were quickly swallowed by the gloom.
It was an Ominous Garden of black Lily that grew up to become a sustaining Black Forest on its own.
“Are you Sure that this is it…” Sophia tried to questioned, afraid of some kind of back lash.
“If My eyes were black 8 balls, Then YES” Aris Smudged on, a licking taste on his licks. “In the Pervious of 9th Generation, the Breach was one among the Well-maintained ones;”
“Then What happened?” Sophia Queried in question.
“Well, few members died, few members left and Few members shifted Orders; Which very much Resulted in me being the only members of this crumbling Order.” Aris sighted the words moving out of this mouth out of some kind of unused verses.
“Oh!” Sophia sparked up in surprise; “I didn’t mean to.” she added on, clarifying her words.
“No… It’s just That I have gotten way used to answer that Question.” Saying so, Aris pushed the locked metal garden gate open. “Now if we may; Let me show you to the Main Building”
Aris walked forward through the rusty metal gate; Sophia without question darted forward with Aris, trying her best to not question her current position or thinking.
The main path was uneven, lined with old cobblestones that had long been overtaken by nature. Sophia's boots crunched against the debris scattered on the ground—broken leaves, twigs, and the occasional discarded metal shard. The distant sound of faint chatter and metal clinking echoed from within the compound; “Didn’t you say that you were alone.” Sophia Quelled her courage to ask a question.
“Voices of the past, somewhat a common occurrence for New Order members.” Aris answered in a cold clerkly sound. “Better try to Avoid those..” Aris remarked a slight smirk rising over on of his lips. Sophia at this Instance, knew something was terribly wrong with Aris, may be it's sudden attitude change to act or look kind or the sudden change in his choice of words.'Do I have too?' Aris questioned himself, his heart pilling up with a sudden arch of Guilt. 'she is a girl, way to young and way to delicate to live up with standards... there are things she is unable to do.. while there are things which she can't do and yet I am trying my hardest to force all of it on to her... WHO AM I'
"So; There are few things that I have to tell you About the Custodian And the Order of Black Lily"
"This came Sudden.." Sophia remarked. "What is it??" She Added.
"Well, The Order of the Black Lily, is one of the few Custodian's Orders that have existed since the founding of the Aorgracian Empire." Aris mumbled with clean eyes. "If you look at all the Pervious nine Generations, ever since it's founding, no new member of a different family is added to the Order.""What I mean to say is that..."
"Basically you have no other choice."
"What did you SAY?" Sophia jumped, a bit baffled at the start. Even she was not clear of what she wanted to say, she was excited at 1st but then she was sacred and then she was trembling with fear. She had a though to join the Order, but now that though was nothing more than a backhanded phrase that flew at the back side of her head
"I don't mean to offend you but; with the nature of the world it's only due time until you take in your Roots." Aris confessed his head forced down.With All that Aris Had to scream, her couldn't find his words, and ended by with one line that flew straight of his lips. "But Our Blood!"
Aris being the character whose Internal side is a reflection of me and my/his true thinking which are rather self removing and mocking, with his external character being the persona that I wish to have someday. While Sophia is character of a Girl who I happen to know rather too well, she is even the person who Drew the cover art. I won't talk much on or about in detail, but just to say 'she is the true embodiment of Sophia in real life. '
Also if you Notice that .... but my writing style sucks... It's really descriptive and expressive. when I write a novel or a chapter in general I pour my heart into it trying to in vison each scene and each conversation ... it becomes to wordy and really hard to express, which I know is bad, that's why in order to make it more engaging to read I have started to had font styles and fun symbols for reading.. I can't transfer the text into honeyfeed, but if you want the DOC or the PSF File then just email me at snowinterval@gmail.com
