"...." (Arian)

Arian's silence remained as his dark blue eyes looked at Aurora who looked at him in such a way.

His heart had stung.

'Turn'

Aurora slowly turned away from him after looking at him in silence.

'Click, Clack, Click, Clack'

Heeled walking.

'Halt'

She walked slowly towards her canvas in her fuchsia pink fluffy dress with black touches as Arian watched her silently.

'Place'

She palced her right hand in her finished canvas bringing out her fuchsia pink nail polish into the painting.

'...' (Aurora)

Her dark blue eyes looked down at where Zellia's painted door was at.

'Lift'

Her head lifted up again with no emotion.

'Trun'

'Click, Clack, Click, Clack'

Heeled walking.

'Halt'

Stop walking.

She stopped right in the middle of the wide glass windows looking at the orange-red sky.

'...' (Arian)

Arian's dark blue eyes remained observing her.

'Step, Step, Step, Step'

Walking.

'Halt'

Stop walking.

He had approached her painting and stared at it in silence.

It was like their silence was suffocating but peaceful.

"Did you paint this?" (Arian, asked)

Finally, his lips parted as if his throat was dry.

Making an attempt to speak to her.

"I did" (Aurora, said)

She responded with no emotion.

'...' (Arian)

He looked at her in silence again before turning to look at the painting.

'Place'

He placed his hand on her canvas painting.

"I...didn't know you had this talent" (Arian, said)

He said with choked-up words.

She took a pause as if thinking for a moment from amusement and finally asked him.

"How could you know?" (Aurora, asked)

"You had no interest in me" (Aurora, asked)

"You didn't know what I liked or disliked" (Aurora, said)

She said with an expressionless voice however in the end it was clear her words were like a mock.

"You didn't know art felt good to escape" (Aurora, said)

"You didn't know how many times I'd had to beg and kneel towards father...for scraps of broken pencil tips, empty paint only enough for the tips of my pinky to scrap, faded out crayons with molds around it, old wrinkled paper with brown stains from dropped dried drinks" (Aurora, said)

"I bet seeing me beg must have been customary for you to see" (Aurora, said)

"Nothing out of the ordinary that you haven't seen" (Aurora, said)

"Maybe that's why you have forgotten how many times I have begged" (Aurora, said)

"Not only for this but to be kept alive" (Aurora, said)

"To see the next day in hopes to be loved" (Aurora, said)

"For an empty stomach waiting for a moldy disgusting soup" (Aurora, said)

"Wishing my behavior did not displease my masters" (Aurora, said)

'Turn'

Aurora turned around and looked at him as the orange-red sunset illuminated her with her fuschia pink wavy hair the same color as her lace neck bow that had covered last night's scar.

Her black small earrings matched her black sleeves a perfect combination with her fushia pink dress that brought out her defined collarbone.

"I say it's worthy for the person you hate" (Aurora, said)

She said with an expressionless face.

Just as if she were used to those painful emotions, becoming numb.

"Bowed down like a bug you can merely step on, a dog willing to do everything to please its masters" (Aurora, said)

"Customary and trivial for your own eyes" (Aurora, said)

Aurora said without looking at him.

Her voice had a calmness to it but if you really paid attention to the sincerity of her soft voice, it pained and it ached.

'Throb'

Arian's heart throbbed again at her words.

'Fist'

He dared not to look at her as he closed his fist still on her canvas painting.

"Don't make that face" (Aurora, said)

Aurora who saw his distorted hurt face looked at him with disgusted eyes..

As if she herself felt disgusted that he'd ever show such a face.

"This shameless disgusting wench you love to call doesn't need to see such emotions on display" (Aurora, said)

"You wanted this, so why not change your face?" (Aurora, asked)

"..." (Arian)

Arian clenched his fist tighter still looking at her canvas painting.

'....' (Aurora)

She looked at him and at the back of the canvas after taking a pause.

"It was the first time I've touched art tools that were not meant for a beggar" (Aurora, said)

She said adding into Arian's ears with a heartbroken scoff.

Almost laughing at her own joke.

'Lift'

She lifted her hand and looked at her fushia nails.

"My fingertips did not hurt, it was the first time I had enjoyed art in a very long time" (Aurora, said)

"But why am I telling you this?" (Aurora, asked)

She asked herself finally looking at him again.

"When you never cared" (Aurora, said)

She said as if she were talking to a wall as if he weren't present.

"Aurora...your art-" (Arian, said)

Arian clenched his fist tighter it might bleed as he continued to look down at the window that had three manquins with beautiful dresses.

It was as if the little window had trapped him.

Those three elegant dresses were a representation of his trapped sister.

Bared up just like a prison.

He said with choked-up words.

"Don't" (Aurora, said)

She stopped him.

"Don't compliment it" (Aurora, said)

"I don't need it" (Aurora, said)

"..." (Arian)

There were no other words that he could say that could come out of his mouth than try to complement her painting as if it fixed everything.

Ignoring the feeling of the trapped sister.

Because it pained him to say.

Just like he would always push his feelings away.

She did not want to keep hearing hypocrisy from him.

"Ugly, disgusting, hideous little of the many words you said to me each time I painted for you" (Aurora, said)

"So long, it has been so long" (Aurora, said)

"You have forgotten I loved art" (Aurora, said)

'Throb'

Arian's heart continued to sting.

He knew what those words meant.

How could he forget?

How could he pretend and ask if she liked art?

When he had broken anything she had given him.

Ripped any drawing or painting she gifted him.

When he had thrown her art box into the mansion lake.

How could he be such a hypocrite and tell her he didn't know she liked art?

How could such hypocrisy arise from him when he said he didn't know she had this talent?

And how foolish he must have looked when she pretended to follow the conversation.

Lie about how he didn't know what she liked.

He knew perfectly she had loved art and yet as she lied to his face with an emotionless tone made his stomach gauge.

At the disgust of what he pretended to forget.

At the disgusting fact that he had too forgotten how many times she had begged, how many disgusting words had he told her.

How ignorant had he been that the maids treated her like a dog?

If his father and he treated her that way it should have been obvious how everyone would treat her.

He had been blinded ignoring the signs of what Adelina had done behind his back to her because his eyes were only for his beloved sister.

How could he reproach her when she had the right to act this way?

"..." (Aurora)

She stared at him in silence.

"I know why you're here" (Aurora, said)

'Lift'

Arian's eyes widened as he looked up at her who was still standing in the middle by the windows.

He thought that she knew that Marquess Elex had sent him because of the snake incident.

"I don't care what he has to say" (Aurora, said)

"But I do want your beloved curious sister to know that her foolish plan to kidnap me, rape me, and extract my power did not go as she planned" (Aurora, said)

She said coldly.

"!!" (Arian)

"What?" (Arian, asked)

His eyes widen again at her words.

"What do you mean kidnap, rape you, and extract your power?" (Arian, asked)

He asked with a distorted expression.

"...." (Aurora)

She scrunched her eyes.

"For a close sibling relationship it's quite pathetic you haven't noticed" (Aurora, said)

"Maybe it had been your unconditional love you could only provide to your favorite sister that blinds you from seeing what's in front of you" (Aurora, said)

"So blinded you have avoided the darkness around you" (Aurora, said)

"Your beloved sister's hate for me is far more greater than yours if you like to know" (Aurora, said)

"I used to care because it hurt like a knife bladed to my heart" (Aurora, said)

"A light and darkness born from a sacred wound. One creation for the sanity of the world. And another, the destruction of the world. All shall die in hell under the presence of the darkness. All shall hail for the praised light to envelop and protect this world from malice" (Aurora, said)

Aurora recited the prophecy by memory.

"Darkness...that's what I was, that's what I considered myself to be as I lived under a shadow" (Aurora, said)

"It took me too late to realize the true meaning of the words" (Aurora, said)

'It cost my life to finally understand it' (Aurora's inner thoughts)

"The true darkness is that light wrapped up in sheep's clothing" (Aurora, said)

Aurora said with a high and mighty face as if she were looking down.

As if she were correct.

'...' (Arian)

He frowned at her words an arrogance.

"Is this what it is again?" (Arian, asked)

"Jelously?" (Arian, asked)

"Self-hate?" (Arian, asked)

"Or the confidence to break us apart?" (Arian, asked)

He asked with a scoff.

"Is this what you're doing now?" (Arian, asked)

"To think I felt bad for you again" (Arian, said)

Arian said with a scoff.

It was as if he was talking without thinking.

Just spouting words that he would usually say.

"You said she sent to kidnap you, for someone sent to rape you?" (Arian, asked)

He continued to scoff as he stepped away from her painting and approached toward her taking a few steps and stopping in front of her continuing to mock her.

"Has your jealousy not been enough?" (Arian, asked)

"I don't understand why are you this way, I don't get why can't you just be normal" (Arian, said)

He said as if he were looking at an exotic animal.

"..." (Aurora)

Aurora remained silent without a hint of hurt in her eyes as Arian continued on.

"Tell me, have you not gotten tired of such lies? Countless of times have you tried this...it's repulsive and upsetting" (Arian, said)

He had felt like shit for treating Aurora horribly but he also doubted that Adelina would be capable of doing such a thing.

Hearing Aurora balming Adelina once again after countless of incidents only made him believe Aurora held jealousy and cruelty in her heart.

That was such an atrocity, that she had yet not matured and continued to say such things he thought.

'Again she continues to try and rift us apart' (Arian's inner thoughts)

He couldn't help but feel disgusted and mad at her and himself.

She who had not changed one bit just to try to get her way and he who no matter how hard he tried ran toward her unconsciously to try to comprehend her secretly.

He should have never blended his heart, he should have just cut any remors feelings as he watched her beg, cry, hated by everyone, he should have shut everything done.

Not feel a bit of empathy for her.

It was the mistake he repeated no matter what.

Perhaps that was why the way she was.

"Ha" (Aurora)

Aurora scoffed with a smile looking at him as if he were pathetic.

She didn't have to hear what he was thinking to know.

She knew exactly what he was thinking.

Just as if she had expected it.

"Look at yourself" (Arian, said)

"Just like back then...and here you were displaying sorry expressions once again" (Aurora, said)

"It's disgusting right?" (Aurora, asked)

"Tell me, don't you feel mad that it has repeated over and over?" (Aurora, asked)

She asked with a mock.

"..." (Arian)

"Because we feel the same" (Aurora, said)

"Except..you" (Aurora, said)

She paused before continuing.

'Glare'

"Must not feel as disgusted as I feel" (Aurora, said)

'Throb'

Arian's heart throbbed at how coldly she stared at him with words that stained him.

"Each time I look at your face acting as if you'd ever feel sorry for me" (Aurora, said)

"Even though you had never apologized to me" (Aurora, said)

'Throb'

Arian's attitude immediately shut down at her words.

"Not once in your life for everything you have done to me" (Aurora, said)

"That's why I don't need your fake pity, shut down any sorry expression toward me... because I don't need it" (Aurora, said)

"Not any at all" (Aurora, said)

"When you don't mean it" (Aurora, said)

She said with a heartbroken face as she raised her voice filled with anger and pain.

"No...Aurora...I-" (Arian, said)

His face became pale as a sweat dropped from his cheek watching her hurt expression.

Many emotions had crossed her face, resentment, heartbreak, sadness, emptiness, and anger.

Once again he had unintentionally hurt her without ever hearing her, without ever trusting again.

Those were the thoughts he had repeated his whole life facing here and had come back again making him feel worse for contradicting what he had just said.

Again he was back in square one when he said he wouldn't fall.

And know this was the result of his actions.

She had finally exploded.

She had enough and it would be the end of it.

"Shut up" (Aurora, said)

She raised her voice unwilling to hear him closing her eyes tightly to erase seeing his hurt expression.

"It's all the same with you!" (Aurora, yelled)

"Did you ever think for a moment I was telling the truth?!" (Aurora, said)

"..." (Arian)

Arian bit his lips trying his hardest not to yell that he was sorry.

Because he knew that maybe he was just deserving of another slap.

For blaming her, for blaming himself and making excuses that he'd try to understand her, for saying over and over that he would not do it but she had snapped.

"How many times have I told you to trust me?! How?!" (Aurora, yelled)

"How many times have I asked you to stay by my side?! How?!" (Aurora, yelled)

"Stop pretending to comprehend me, you never had the intention to do it! You don't trust me and that's what it is!" (Arian, yelled)

"The brother I loved would have trusted me when I told you that there was something wrong with Adelina! How could you be so idiotic to ignore a child's horrified face?!" (Aurora, yelled)

"How in hell would I say that she had dark shadows surrounding her, or how her eyes had turned black?!" (Aurora, yelled)

"How her face, arms, and legs enveloped with black veins!" (Aurora, yelled)

"Why would I come to you with a horrified face trembling in fright because of what...jealousy?!" (Aurora, yelled)

"Did that look like jealousy to you?!" (Aurora, yelled)

She yelled scoffing as she ruffled her hair in frustration looking at the shocked Arian.

"Yeah a person like you can consider that jealousy then you must be really close-minded"(Aurora, said)

Her voice eased up but was cold like a knife as if mocking him.

"I must have sounded crazy to you then when I offended that maid" (Aurora, said)

She scoffed again with a mock.

She was referring to the fake empress.

"Aurora...that" (Arian, said)

Arian tried to speak of the matter that they had forgotten a long time ago.

He knew that her calling Adelina a non-human and the empress a person with dark magic was something he was just not willing to believe.

"I was only saying the truth, I wasn't wrong" (Aurora, said)

"She's never been in that position, she's hurt so many people and killed the innocent empress" (Aurora, said)

She continued to mock Arian as his expression became more distorted with each word she said.

"I must have been crazy to sneak in father's carriage to witness the execution, to scream amongst the crowd the truth" (Aurora, said)

"Is that what it was brother?" (Aurora, asked)

"Were you that embarrassed of your first sister for such a scene?" (Aurora, asked)

"How proportions must I have sound with a sister who acted like that, a sister who enjoyed the company of a snake in her bed" (Aurora, said)

'Throb'

Each word came with a mock towards him but he knew her voice had held pain and emotional exhaustion.

"Is that when you started to change your mind and call me crazy?" (Aurora, asked)

"Because I of my weird actions, because of my resilience going against everyone, because I stood for my beliefs?" (Aurora, asked)

"Because I had gotten in that maid's bad side?" (Aurora, asked)

"Because I stubbornly claimed that maid and Adelina had taken my credit? Because I continued to call her a maid? Because of that prophecy?" (Aurora, asked)

She asked as she took one step closer to him with cold eyes and a snickering smirk.

"Or was it because of mother's sacred room?" (Aurora, asked)

"!" (Arian)

Arian's eyes widen.

He gritted his teeth in anger confirming just what she needed to know.

"I thought so" (Aurora, said)

She said with a light snickering chuckle.

"You're crazy" (Arian, said)

"How could you laugh about it?" (Arian, asked)

He gritted his teeth in anger.

"That was mother's important place" (Arian, said)

"Yes, so what if you were crazy making up anything up I still stuck by your side no matter what but it was unforgivable to oversee how you destroyed mothers sacred place" (Arian, said)

"Like hell, I let anything slide because I had promised to protect you no matter how Dad and everyone had turned away from you" (Arian, said)

"How shamelessly must you be?" (Arian, asked)

He asked with a scoff looking at her in disgust.

"I bet if I had come earlier you'd dance in front of mothers ash remains as you joyfully cheered destroying everything we all had put to make it my mother's resting place" (Arian, said)

"Tell me did you not feel any sense of shame at all?" (Arian, asked)

"Tell me all sister, I want to hear how you enjoyed it recking everything" (Arian, asked)

"..." (Aurora)

She remained silent making him misunderstand more.

"You'd never reflect and you ask for love, understanding, and you ask for trust?" (Arian, asked)

"Come on speak" (Arian, said)

"Are you just going to remain silent because I'm right?" (Arian, asked)

His dark blue eyes were filled with hate and malice making mockery of her.

"If Mother would be here she'd feel ashamed of you" (Arian, said)

"Shame of the shallow most disgusting person to be born into this world" (Arian, said)

There was no stopping his hostility as he spouted word after word onto the next till she'd intervene.

"Arian" (Aurora, said)

She called to him.

"Did you see me do it?" (Aurora, asked)

"..." (Arian)

"Did you physically see me break the flower vases?" (Aurora, asked)

"Did you see me rip and dispetal the plants and flowers decorating mothers resting room?" (Aurora, said)

"Did you see me rip the fabric decorated for Mother's altar?" (Aurora, asked)

"Did you see me break Mother's ash box?" (Aurora, asked)

"Or did you see me spread her ashes throughout the altar hall and dance joyfully?" (Aurora, asked)

She asked with an expressionless face but her dark blue eyes had a sadness to them.

"..." (Arian)

"You saw nothing at all" (Aurora, said)

"You automatically blamed me just like everyone else because Adelina had found me with Mother's recked sacred place" (Aurora, asked)

"Was your trust that weak you did not trust me when I pleaded that I haven't done it?" (Aurora, asked)

"Who else would have done it? You were at the scene how could you still ask for me to trust you?!" (Arian, yelled)

Arian felt irritated as he clenched his fist and yelled at her.

"If Adelina hadn't found you we wouldn't have known it was you!" (Arian, yelled)

His yell became louder as his anger increased.

"WHY CAN'T YOU JUST BE GOD DAM HONEST WITH ME?!" (Arian, yelled)

Arian finally snapped and yelled at her harshly as anger veins popped out from his jaw.

"WHY CAN'T YOU JUST ADIMT IT?!" (Arian, yelled)

"HOW MUCH LONGER DO I HAVE TO PUT WITH YOUR LIES?!" (Arian, yelled)

"HOW COULD I EVER FEEL PITTY FOR SUCH A DISGUSTING THING?!" (Arian, yelled)

'PUSH!'

"!!" (Arian)

Aurora had pushed Arian harshly with her palms on his chest making him take two steps back at her force.

She was glaring at him more furious than he had seen her his entire life.

'GRAB'

Before getting a chance to react she had grabbed his shit tightly yanking him towards her raising up on her tiptoes and looking up at him tremendously furious.

"NOT EVEN A SLAP FROM ME IS WORTHY FOR YOU!" (Aurora, yelled)

"HOW DARE THIS THING HOPE FOR A SCUM BROTHER LIKE YOU?!" (Aurora, yelled)

"HOW MUCH DOES THIS THING HAVE TO BEG FOR HER SUCM BROTHER TO BELIVE?!" (Aurora, yelled)

"IN NO GIVEN RIGHT DO YOU HAVE TO JUDGE ME SO DISGUSTINGLY STRAIGHT TO MY FACE AND TELL ME HOW MOTHER WOULD BE EMBARRASSED OF A SHAMELESS WENCH LIKE ME!" (Aurora, yelled)

"SHUT YOUR DAM TRAP!" (Aurora, yelled)

"YOU HAVEN'T REALIZE THAT MOTHER WOULD HAVE BEEN EQUALLY ASHAMED TO HAVE A SON LIKE YOU!" (Aurora, yelled)

"!" (Arian)

Arian's eyes widened as his face distorted more.

"A SCUM BROTHER WHO GAVE UP AT ANY GIVEN CHANCE INSTEAD OF FIGHTING FOR HIS SISTER'S NAME!" (Aurora, yelled)

"A SCUM BROTHER WHO AUTOMATICALLY MADE HIS OWN CONCLUSIONS BECAUSE HE THOUGHT RUNNING AWAY FROM HIS OWN SELF DOUBT WOULD HAVE RELIVED HIM!" (Aurora, yelled)

"HOW MUCH OF A FOOL DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO NOT KNOW HIS OWN SISTER!" (Aurora, yelled)

"TO FALL FOR SUCH A TRICK THEN YOU MUSTN'T HAVE BEEN SINCER WITH ME FROM THE START!" (Aurora, yelled)

'GRIP'

She gripped on his shit tighter.

"BECAUSE I WOULDN'T HAVE GIVEN UP ON MY BROTHER NO MATTER HOW MUCH THE WORLD WOULD HATE HIM! NO MATTER HOW MUCH DOUBT HE HAD SPARKED AMONGS THE WHOLE WORLD!" (Aurora, yelled)

"NO MATTER WHAT IT WAS I WOULD HAVE FOUGHT FOR YOU! BECAUSE MY BROTHER WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN CAPABLE OF DESTROYING SOMETHING PRECIOUS!" (Aurora, yelled)

"TO HIM AND EVERY PERSON HE LOVED!" (Aurora, yelled)

"I WOULD HAVE HEARD HIS VERSION, I WOUDN'T HAD PUSHED HIM AS HE CLUNG TO MY LEG!" (Aurora, yelled)

"I WOULDN'T HAVE RIPED GONGO INTO PIECES, THE SYMBOL OF A PROMISE!" (Aurora, yelled)

'Release'

She let go of him as her heels touched the ground.

"I wouldn't have pushed him into Mother's spread ashes" (Aurora, said)

'Drop, Drop'

Her voice had cracked it was as if her words choked her.

She could no longer yell, as if she lost her strength followed by clear water droplets falling off her heartbroken betrayed face.

"!!!" (Arian)

Arian's eyes widen at her tears unable to move.

"You think it didn't hurt me as much as you?!" (Aurora, asked)

"You think I haven't suffered enough for an unjust blame?" (Aurora, asked)

"I would never have done that to Mother" (Aurora, said)

'Drop, Drop'

'Whipe'

She tried to wipe her tears away in sadness but more came out as she closed her eyes if it would help stop them.

"I loved her even if I never met her" (Aurora, said)

"I loved her with all my heart" (Aurora, said)

"I loved everyone" (Aurora, said)

"But I guess the love of my betraying family was too trivial to believe and fight for their sister, for the daughter" (Aurora, said)

'Drip, Drip'

Crying.

"You don't know anything" (Aurora, said)

"You only let me suffer in pain when I need all of you" (Aurora, said)

"When I needed you brother" (Aurora, said)

'Throb'

Arian's heart was close to burning at how much his heart had ached watching and hearing her.

"You don't know how hard it was being treated this way, everyone did" (Aurora, said)

"I was like a dog to everyone, deserving of nothing less than what all of you pleased" (Aurora, said)

"I was painted as a criminal to this whole empire, it hurt" (Aurora, said)

'Drop, Drop'

Her tears continued to fall but this time she wiped them for good just resting in her water eyes.

"But my family's mistreatment hurt the most" (Aurora, said)

"Now I am not alone as I used to be" (Aurora, said)

"I have a caring husband that worries when I'm sad, that smiles if I smile, a husband willing to protect me at all cost" (Aurora, said)

"He is my important person now" (Aurora, said)

"A person that believes me no matter what" (Aurora, said)

Her tears had stopped only the redness of her eyes had stayed behind as she stared at him from some distance.

"Aurora I-" (Arian, said)

He called to her with a hurt expression but she interrupted him again.

"If you must know" (Aurora, said)

"In the future, me and Adelina will fight head on" (Aurora, said)

"Because I will run for the saintess position" (Aurora, said)

"!!" (Arian)

Arian's eyes widen as his mouth unconsciously opened.

Even though this was meant to be a secret it was no harm telling him now.

He'd sure run telling Adelina.

This time she was unwilling to lose this fight and reclaim what was hers.

"Your sister has taken my position with my power" (Aurora, said)

"Each month  she used the blessed needles dipped in my blood and drank it" (Aurora, said)

'Strech'

Rustle'

She stretched her hand and pulled up her black dress sleeves showing him the needle marks he had once seen.

"Yesterday she plan to get more of my blood as she orchestrated it and kidnapped me with two men about to rape me" (Aurora, said)

"And one server of god to poke me as he blessed the needles but thanks to my husband I am here now" (Aurora, said)

"...." (Arian)

"I don't expect you to believe me because I never expected such things coming from you" (Aurora, said)

"So take that information with what you need" (Aurora, said)

'Shine'

The setting orange-red sky glowed stronger as the sun was finally steering down illuminating her face.

"Who knows you might slap your own face when you find out she can't self heel and once she runs out of my power you'd get to witness her non-human feature" (Aurora, said)

She said with the most emotionless face she'd ever give him as her dark blue eyes looked at him without a soul.

Just like an empty shell.

Arian's eyes widen in immense guilt and shock.

Just as he had destroyed her completely.

"It's strange...we always seem to argue, I've never let my anger get to me no matter how cruel you were to me" (Aurora, said)

'Shine'

The sun had finally gone down as the bright moon rose up illuminating her souless shell as the garden lights lit up giving more light to her face.

"But now that I have said everything it feels like I have finally moved on for good" (Aurora, said)

She said to him before passing past him without a glance.

An emotion of a broken bond.

'Turn'

"Sister!" (Arian, yelled)

Arian turned as she passed him extending his hand unconsciously as he reached for her long wavy fuchsia-pink hair that now had become untouchable to him.

'Clack'

The door closed as she disappeared from the room leaving him alone in this empty suffocating room.

'Clench'

He clenched his fist with an aching expression.

'...' (Arian)

His mind had become completely black as his eyes wandered next to Dorion's desk.

Eyes that too had no emotion.

"One ticket Entrance" (Written on Ticket)

His emotionless eyes had fallen on two white tickets with a golden border.

Acuction tickets, to the night masquerade auction that would be holding in special jewelry on for auction.

Rumor has it, that there would be holy jewels blessed with divine energy at the auction that night.
