lazy author~
Hey there sweet lings~

You think you can throw me out just like that 😡
???
I can 😒 and I am...we don't need you here anymore...Dominique
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
😠 you're telling me that you're kicking me out of this mission....
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
IT'S BECAUSE OF ME THAT YOU WERE ABLE TO FIND THE CULPRIT...😡
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
*low dangerous tone* You can't kick me out just before the arrest Zeke
Zeke Shadowfyre (..ml..)
*scoff* I am the Boss...what I say goes 😏
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
*sneer* You think so highly of yourself but mark my words...
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
One day you will need me and I won't help...❄️
Zeke Shadowfyre (..ml..)
That day won't come Dominique...I will never ask for your help❄️
Zeke Shadowfyre (..ml..)
We can handle ourselves just fine 😏...And 'you' we don't need a spoiled blue blood like you
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
Fine...then I Dominique Emberglow too refuses to work with a peasant like you 😏
Zeke Shadowfyre (..ml..)
You think you can get to me by calling me a peasant??....
Zeke Shadowfyre (..ml..)
It's not an insult...it is an evidence that shows how far I've come 'on my own'
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
Maybe, but that won't change the fact that you will always be below me❄️...A royal or in your language A blue blood 😏
Zeke Shadowfyre (..ml..)
OUT.....GET OUT ❄️
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)

Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)

Ambrose

Ambrose
You and i, we both know that this case wouldn't have been solved if it wasn't for Dominique 😟
Ambrose
I know you hate her😟 but kicking her out like that...
Zeke Shadowfyre (..ml..)
You heard her, didn't you??..❄️
Zeke Shadowfyre (..ml..)
She looks down on us ❄️...Just because she was born in a royal family doesn't mean she can do whatever she wants
Zeke Shadowfyre (..ml..)
So what If She's smart....there are many like her....
Ambrose

Zeke Shadowfyre (..ml..)

Jude Emberglow
Well anyways
Jude Emberglow
I was informed earlier that a guest will be arriving at dawn from the City of Lómë
Also known as the City of Dusk, Twilight or Night
It is one of the 5 Cities situated in the Realm of Elements
The city of Nár (fire)
The city of Sùrë (wind)
The city of Nén (water)
The city of Lómë
The city of Càlà (light)
Realm of Elements 🏞️
Where we live
We are neither Humans, Elf nor Faes.... actually my kind doesn't have a proper name...we are mostly known as the 'Element users'
We are just like humans except we can use magic and our life spam is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay longer!!!
Though we have modernized just like them
Jude Emberglow
Dominique..??
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
*snaps*
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)

Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)

Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
*sitting on the sofa*
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
So tell me what made you visit the good ol' me
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
*sits a little straighter*
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)

Ambrose
*looks down at his hand and again looks up*
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
Ambrose ❄️??
Ambrose
I came here to ask for your help, your grace Dominique 😟
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
Help..??❄️
Ambrose
*sigh* For the past few years we, the elite soldiers of the Lómë were secretly on a mission
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
*signs him to continue*
Ambrose
The mission name was-
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
*eyes widen*
Jude Emberglow
*mumble* Gurth.?!😧
Jude Emberglow
You don't mean-
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
Gurth..?? As in the forest of Gurth!!
The forest of Gurth AKA The forest of Death ☠️
Ambrose
*trembles* Our mission was to keep eyes on the forest from the nearer distance
Ambrose
During the mission..😨 we all felt it...
Ambrose
*look straight into Dominique eyes*
Ambrose
You know what I am talking about... don't you, your grace
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
*froze*
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
*takes a shaky breath*
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
Why...why do you need my help..??
Ambrose
You are the only person who went into the forest of Gurth and came back..alive and sane
Jude Emberglow
*press lips*😐
Jude Emberglow
*in mind* I don't want her to go back to that place😟
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
*looks at her arm then at her sister*
Dominique had a tattoo of a sword on her left hand
Jude Emberglow
*Holds Dominique's gaze*
Jude Emberglow
*shakes her head a little*
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
*sigh*
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
*looks at Ambrose*
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
I haven't forgotten..❄️
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
Your Chief's words...I still haven't forgotten them
Ambrose
I know you haven't but Domini-
Jude Emberglow
Sir Ambrose ❄️
Jude Emberglow
I don't want my sister to get hurt and if she says she doesn't want to do it then I hope you understand ❄️
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
I didn't exactly say no..🫤
Jude Emberglow
*a little angry*
Ambrose
So you will help us 😄
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
I didn't say yes either..
Jude Emberglow
Dom what are you getting at..
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
*looks at Ambrose*
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)

Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)

Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
*sigh* I'm sorry for my sister's behavior
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
Since our parents died she's the one who's been taking care of me…so she's a little protective
Ambrose
She doesn't want you to go back there...
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
No...she doesn't.🙂
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)

Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)

Ambrose
Okay...well I'll get going then...
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
See ya
lazy author~
Heyaa~ my sweet lings~
lazy author~
What do you think...will Dominique agree
lazy author~
If she does..what about Jude???
lazy author~
And what's in the forest??
lazy author~
Stay tune my sweet lings~
The Condition...
Jude Emberglow
Are you really going to agree❄️?
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
*sigh* Sis
Jude Emberglow
I don't want you to...😟
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
You know I am going to accept it...
Jude Emberglow
It's not your responsibility *shouts*
Jude Emberglow
They can handle themselves....*sarcastically*...they are the 'elite' soldiers after all
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
JUDE
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
They need me... I'm the only one who knows what's inside the forest
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
The seal's broken...
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
That monster's gonna unleash hell on our Realm...
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
It won't take him long to find a way out of the forest 😟
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
We need to kill him or at least seal him away
Jude Emberglow
But you fear it...the monster😟
Jude Emberglow
So how will you...??
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
I do fear it...but I can help them, I don't want to stand back and watch people die
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
I can't 😥
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
*walks closer to Jude*
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
Break the seal you put on me Jude...then only I can step into the forest🙂
Jude Emberglow
😢 I don't wanna lose you
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
*softly* you won't...I promise 😊
Jude Emberglow
*in mind* there's no point in fighting with her... she's stubborn...she won't listen even if I beg ☹️
Jude pulls out a small knife from her pocket and cuts her right hand's ring finger...the blood oozes out
Jude Emberglow
*grab Dominique's left hand*
She spreads the blood in circular motion on the tattoo and chants something in ancient language
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
*breath hitches*
The tattoo on Dominique's hand starts to fade and the small green sphere light pours out of her hand
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
*heart beats fast* 💓
After a few seconds the light stops pouring out and the tattoo vanishes completely
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
*heart beats went to normal*
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
😊
Jude Emberglow
*presses lips*
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
Thank you, Jude *hugs her*
Jude Emberglow
You better keep your promise *returns the hug* 🫂
Jude Emberglow
*in mind* Mom Dad please look over her 😢
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
*tries to break the hug*
Jude Emberglow
*tighten the hug* 🫂
Jude Emberglow
Just for a few more seconds
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
Hmm
Dominique knew that her sister only ever wanted what's best for her...she knew Jude was worried...but the thought of that monster roaming and wrecking havoc scared her more..So she had to do this even if she has to go against her sister
(this is her remembering the past)
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
I remember when I was a kid, when mom and dad were still alive... they used to tell me the stories of the Forest of Gurth
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
The forest of... Death ☠️
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
they said whoever went inside the forest either died...or lost their sanity...
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
I was curious...I wanted to know what was inside that forest that made people fear it so much
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
Years later when I was old enough to handle myself but still young enough to be called a child....I gave in to my curiosity
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
I sneaked inside the forest
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
What I saw there *shakes her head*
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
I saw all sorts of things...
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
Good..bad
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
Until I reached there....the place where the monster was sealed
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
I understood why people who survived went insane...this monster...it reeked of death...you could almost taste it
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
At that time an unknown fear got a hold of me...
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
The fear wasn't because I thought the monster would kill me or that it's presence was so overwhelming that it suffocated me...
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
No...it was something else
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
I feared this monster for some other reasons...so I ran...as fast as I could
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
till I fainted..I kept running 💨
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
When I opened my eyes I was back in my room...
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
Later I found out that the guards who were on patrol found me at the border of the forest.. unconscious
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
But what shocked me was the fact that I was missing for a whole month and was almost declared dead
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
A few years later my parents left us forever 😢
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
And I again tried to sneak back inside the forest...maybe because I was curious or maybe because I wanted to distract myself from the horrendous fact that I had just become an orphan
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
But I was reckless and got caught by my sister
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
That same night my sister put a seal on me that forbade me to enter the forest...
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
you are right on time...it's actually creeping me out how 'right' on time you are 😬 *fake shivers*
Ambrose
So what's your answer??..
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
I'll *look at Jude* ....
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
I'll help you...😊
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
Yess!!
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
But...
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
I have a condition
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
Fullfill it and I'll help you...
Ambrose
*cautiously* What is the condition??..
Dominique Emberglow (..fl..)
*smirks* 😏
lazy author~
