"The Dark General they called you"
Cedric made a hmm sound.
"I haven’t heard that na in years," he said as if reminiscing a lost past.
The Dark General? a na they called him? the re na sent chills down my spine, I wondered why they called him that.
"Beowulf, what news do you have for ?"
When my eyes finally caught notice of the black wolf beside him, bigger than the actual size, I swallowed a breath in shock.
What in god’s na was a wolf doing here? Within the Castle walls? How did it get in?
"The Emperor’s health is diminishing"
The wolf could talk, was that even possible? An animal could talk, I knew the world was strange with all magical beings but I didn’t imagine a wolf itself.
Wait... did it just ntion the Emperor? Was the Emperor sick?
"As expected, humans are always such fragile beings, he has carried too much for his age to bear"
What was this? He talked about it like he wasn’t human himself, the way he said the words human-like he belittled them... and more his ntion in the Emperor’s health sounded like he knew it to happen.
I covered my mouth, did Cedric have a hand in the Emperor’s illness?
Cedric raised his hand observing it.
"The laws of this world are ever constant, the heart of n is always filled with desire" he states like a poetic, this was strange, hearing him speak this way, I knew Cedric was always a strange man but now he was completely different, I couldn’t understand why.
"Magnus, do you feel now?" Beowulf asked, the voice sounding in bewildernt.
Was he not ant to feel? He’s human after all, right? They are ant to feel, why was the wolf sounding surprised.
"Are your mories back?"
"I haven’t recall anything, it’s still blank... but it’s this feeling"
What are they talking about? Did Cedric lose his mory?
"Ever since her" his eyes narrowed.
"This desire... this hunger" his fist clenched and the air suddenly beca chilly.
My hand covering my mouth fell to my side, my eyes trembling. Her? Who? For a weird reason, I felt my chest heavy, there was too much mystery in their conversation and suspicious action, and yet at the ntion of her, I felt my heart heavy.
Stupid Sylvia!
☆Loud Clang Sound☆
I froze, because that sound ca from , my grip holding the candle weakened, resulting in the steel falling on the ground.
Without a mont to spare I dash out, knowing fully well they already knew soone was spying, Dear Lord! I’m in trouble now, I have to get out of here fast, or else who knows what would happen.
My chest slamd loudly in my chest, the blood rushing to my head, I was panting by the ti I got to my door, I took a harsh unstable breath as I turned towards the dark hallway.
A sudden rush of fear chilled my bones, I quickly dash into my room, the door slamming shut. I pressed my back against it, my chest rose and fell.
My body was shaking, this was pure fear I felt, and I didn’t know where it ca from.

Cedric slowly squats, reaching for the candle against the floor.
"This scent," Beowulf said sniffing the area.
"It the silver-haired, Magnus"
Cedric continued to assess the candle with his fingers.
"She must have heard us," he added, not liking the thought of it, he said too much when he spoke with his master, and now she caught it, his master’s identity shouldn’t be carried by the wind, it wouldn’t end well.
"I’m curious," Cedric said as his green eyes fell on the dark lobby.
"Magnus" Beowulf said as his crimson eyes landed on him, he froze when he saw a faint smile against his lips, it chilled his insides, he never smiled and when he did, it never ant well, nations were ant to fall by the re glimpse of it.
"C-Curious of what? Magnus?" he asked in a shaky tone.
"What next step she would take" he states, rising to his feet.
"A curious being she is", The candle against his palm as it dissolved into nothingness.
"What Cora told her, aren’t you worried she might know too much... or is this a way of finding out why she makes you feel and your powers stir?"
Cedric’s cold eyes land on him.
He froze.
"F-Forgive , Magnus, I asked too much!"
"You have work to do Beowulf, begone"
"Y-Yes, Magnus" The wolf dissolved into shadow and moved out of sight.
Cedric’s cold eyes land on the dark hall.

My heart slamd more than I could bear, I was on my bed, gripping onto my sheets tightly, my wide eyes on the door, my body trembling in fear.
What if he cos? What if he finds out I was the one spying on him? If only I didn’t leave my room because of that stupid pull I felt. Cora has warned to stay clear of Cedric but I have only done the opposite and look at the ss I got myself into.
I knew the worst could happen if Cedric cos to that door, he will, won’t he? I gulped at the thought.
My knees to my chest as I grip on it tightly, the air was suddenly chilly, it wasn’t like this before, my body was in total fear, my brain thinking of all series of things that could happen if Cedric ca at the door.
"Deep breaths Sylvia, deep breaths" I tried to tell myself, but my chest only rise and fall the more, my eyes glued to the door, unable to take my eyes off it, as if I did, the door would barge open.
My nerves were unsettled, and the constant shaking of my body was becoming unbearable, or was it the chilly air? I couldn’t tell, I couldn’t think and the ramming thoughts in my head weren’t helping either.
I tried pulling the covers more to my body and then suddenly the door opened, I gasped.
