Atsibudau su skaudančia galva. Keista, bet kuo puikiausiai prisiminiau tai, kas vyko vakar. Pakėliau galvą nuo pagalvės ir rankomis atsirėmiau į lovą. Zayn jau nebebuvo šalia. Staiga išgirdau žingsnius ir balsus artėjančius link kambario. Zayn įžengė pro duris.
- Labas rytas, pagalvojau, kad tau to prireiks. - ištiesė stiklinę vandens ir tabletę nuo galvos skausmo.
Greitai tai išgėriau.
- Ačiū. - šyptelėjau.
Jis prisėdo ant lovos krašto.
- Kai kas norėtų tave pamatyti. - tarė.
- Kas? - susiraukiau.
Šiuo metu tikrai nenorėjau lankytojų.
Zayn pakilo nuo lovos ir pravėrė duris, pro kurias vidun į kambarį įžengė Lea ir Rayder.
- Dia! - sušuko Lea ir puolė prie manęs.
- Oi. - susiraukiau, nes Lea'os balsas nuskambėjo per garsiai.
- Atsiprašau. - šyptelėjo.
- Kaip jautiesi? - paklausė Ray.
- Kaip pervažiuota tanko. - atsakiau.
Jis ir Lea nusijuokė, o iš Zayn pasigirdo kikenimas.
- Um... Ar galėčiau trumpam pasikalbėti vienu du su Zayn? - paklausiau.
Zayn nustebęs pažvelgė į mane.
- Žinoma. - tarė Rayder ir abu su Lea išėjo iš kambario.
- Apie ką nori pasikalbėti? - Zayn vėl prisėdo ant lovos krašto.
- Tu manai aš nieko neprisimenu iš vakar, tiesa? - paklausiau jo.
- O atsimeni? - atsakė klausimu.
- Tu pasakei, kad...
Mane pertraukė jo skambantis mobilusis. Jis pažvelgė į ekraną ir įsitempė, tačiau net neketino atsiliepti, todėl mobilusis ir toliau įkyriai skambėjo.
- Tai gal atsiliepsi? Tas garsas mane jau erzina. - pasakiau suirzusi.
Zayn pakilo iš vietos ir nuėjo į balkoną, atsiliepė.
- Malik. - tarė pakeldamas ragelį. - Tu nori ko?! Ar išprotėjai?! Po velnių, tai nėra koks sumautas žaidimas! Ir ji nėra žaislas! - Zayn atrodė piktas. - Gerai, aš perskambinsiu vėliau. Ne, aš ne su ja, aš klube. Viso. - padėjo ragelį.
Keletą minučių pastovėjęs balkone Zayn grįžo į kambarį.
- Tai ką ten norėjai man pasakyti? - paklausė vėl prisėsdamas.

- Um... Nesvarbu. - atsakiau. - O kas tau skambino?
- Tai neturėtų tau rūpėti. - šaltai atsakė.
- Palauk, ką reiškia neturėtų? Aš nesu kvaila, Zayn, puikiai girdėjau, kad kalbėjai apie mane, ar aš klystu? - žiūrėjau tiesiai į jį.
Mačiau kaip jis bandė save nuraminti.
- Gerai, tu teisi, kalbėjau apie tave, bet tai nieko nekeičia. - atsakė.
- Tikrai nieko? Aš noriu žinoti su kuo tu kalbėjai ir kodėl aš buvau minima tame pokalbyje, Zayn? Ir po galais, kodėl tu melavai, kad esi kažkokiame klube?
- Pasakysiu tik tiek, kad melavau dėl tavo saugumo. - jis atsiduso.
- Tai tu nori pasakyti, kad kažkas yra negerai, taip?
- Man atrodo, kad jam tavęs reikia ir tai jau nebe žaidimas, Dia.
- Po velnių, kas tau skambino, Zayn?!
Jis nusuko savo žvilgsnį į grindis.
- Man skambino Max Meison, jis sakė norintis, kad tu taip pat dalyvautum tose lenktynėse.
- Ir kas iš to?
- Jis nori, kad dalyvautum viena, be manęs.
- Tu juokauji, tiesa? Aš negaliu be tavęs dalyvauti, juk jie mane ten nudės!
- Žinau, todėl turime kažką sugalvoti.
- O jei aš porai dienų išvykčiau iš miesto?
- Jis vis tiek tave suras.
- Kada tos lenktynės?
- Rytoj, septintą vakare.
Užsikišau plaukų sruogą už ausies.
- O jei mes vis tiek išvyktume, šiek tiek užvilkintume laiką, tiesa?
- Taip, bet...
- Tuomet važiuokime kuo toliau. - pertraukiau jį.
- Dia, tu nesupranti, jis vis tiek mus rastų. Aš tiksliai nežinau kodėl jis nori, kad tu dalyvautum viena, bet tokiu atveju man reikia tave paruošti.
- Tikrai nėra kitos išeities?
- Deja, bet jei kas mano žmonės mus saugos.
- Mus? - pakėliau antakius.
- Nejau manai, kad tikrai paliksiu tave ten vieną?
- Bet juk Max tave nudės, argi ne?
- Jis nieko man nepadarys, Dia, jis net nežinos, kad ten esu.

- Ką tu žadi daryti, Zayn?
- Greitai pamatysi.
Staiga į duris kažkas pasibeldė. Zayn nuėjo jų atidaryti. Tarpduryje pasirodė Rayder.
- Galim pasikalbėti? - paklausė žiūrėdamas į mane.
Linktelėjau, tada Rayder atsisuko į Zayn, o šis tik pavartė akis ir iškėlė rankas.
- Gerai jau gerai, išeinu, matau, kad esu nepageidaujamas. - nusijuokė Malik.
- O tik nereikia, gerai? - nusijuokiau ir aš.
Jis sukikeno, išeidamas uždarė duris.
- Žinai, o tu drąsus. - pasakiau.
- Ką turi omenyje? - sutriko Ray.
- Juk ką tik palikai savo jaunesnę sesutę su blogiuku. - nusijuokiau.
- Ai, tu apie šitai. - nusijuokė ir jis. - Lea jau nebe maža, mokės apsiginti.
- Tiesa. Tai apie ką norėjai pasikalbėti? - paklausiau.
- Tu tikrai žadi dalyvauti lenktynėse?
- Iš kur tu...
- Nepagalvojai, kad reikia patikrinti duris prieš kalbant? - pertraukė mane nusijuokdamas.
- O, prisiminsiu. - šyptelėjau.
- Tai?
- Tiesą sakant, aš nežinau, aš tik nenoriu, kad Zayn ten dalyvautų.
- Ar aš teisingai supratau? Tau jis patinka? - prisimerkė Ray.
- Ei, aš taip nesakiau!
- Tiek to, čia tavo reikalas, tačiau kaip žadi priversti jį nedalyvauti? Juk tavęs nebus šalia, tiesa?
- Gerai, tuomet aš dalyvausiu, bet nenoriu, kad Zayn į tai kištųsi.
- Tada pasakyk jam tai.
- Kaip? Jis per daug kieto charakterio, kad atsisakytų savo planų.
- Tuomet tau teks kažką sugalvoti, nes aš viską turėsiu papasakoti ir Lea'i.
- Ką?! Ne, tu negali! Prašau, neįtrauk jos į visa tai.
- Ji mano sesuo ir tavo draugė, Dia. Ji turi teisę žinoti kas vyksta aplinkui ją.
- Oh, tiek to, sakyk, blogiau juk nebus. - nusileidau.

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)
