as i parked my car near the building where the fashion show that i will be attending to is taking place, i muttered a curse under my breath as i noticed that it's still raining very hard and i forgot to bring my umbrella.
shit naman. i guess i'll just have to run for it, then.
i was about to go out the car but before i could even open the door, i saw paulo exiting the building with an umbrella in his hand, carefully striding along his way towards my car. he opened my door for me and greeted me with a smile.
he said and i pinched his nose lightly.
he winked and pulled me close to him by my shoulder so we could share his small umbrella.
i winced in pain when he pinched my waist, causing me to move sideways, closer to him.
i pinched his cheeks as soon as we entered the lobby and he swatted my hands away.
we went to the elevators and paulo pressed on the 24th floor, where our room probably is.
i asked.
i gulped at that. paulo and i have been working as part-time models for 2 years now and i still feel nervous everytime we would attend fashion shows and professionals would be watching us.
when the elevator stopped at our floor, we stepped out of it and proceeded to the reception area.
the lady greeted us enthusiastically and we greeted her back. she handed us our room keys, schedule for the show, and other important paper works. then, we thanked her and proceeded to our room.
paulo complained as we got in the room and immediately laid on the bed with his arms sprawled to the sides.
paulo threw a pillow at my face but luckily, i was able to catch it. i laughed at his reaction and threw the pillow back at him.

he groaned at got up from the bed.
i leaned in to plant a soft kiss on his temple.
paulo pushed me away and i chuckled before walking towards the bathroom.
but on my way, i took a glance at the papers on the desk and the one on top caught my attention.
Guest List.
i carefully scanned the list to see who will be attending later. i recognized some names from our previous fashion shows but most of the names were foreign to me.
but at the latter part, something caught my attention.
Architect Felip Jhon Suson
oh, si ken? that's nice. his name is quite big in the industry of architecture so i already expected that we will be meeting him soon.
oh wait. there were two more names at the bottom of the list.
Mr. Josh Cullen Santos
and...
Mr. Justin De Dios

Fragments from the Wildlands
“Your first death is always the hardest.” Miguela was the third-born child of a well-off merchant family and knew from around the time she could speak that her life’s path was already decided. She was to become an Orator, as was Xandran tradition. However, Miguela had an affinity with the magikal arts and somehow found herself studying at the Academy. She did just enough to keep up with her studies but never found the motivation to apply herself and “reach her potential,” as her instructors often said. It was not that Miguela was uninterested in the arts. Rather, she knew her time at the Academy ultimately did not matter. Whenever Miguela returned home, she would become an Orator, and that would be that. Or so she believed until, one day, an opportunity appeared that would change her life. Miguela was offered the chance to join a research team tasked with a mission of the utmost importance to the future of the Five Kingdoms. She could not turn down the prospect of regaining control of her life and finally finding a purpose for herself. Of course, Miguela might soon discover that offers that appear too good to be true are usually fraught with lies. Welcome to Five Kingdoms of Cordizal! Question: What is the Five Kingdoms of Cordizal? I often get asked this type of question about my stories by friends, bloggers, and potential readers. The Five Kingdoms of Cordizal is a high-fantasy epic universe that is the setting for most of my stories. The foundation of the universe is its multicultural, multiracial setting with several sentient races attempting to carve their legacy and survive. The world is fully fleshed out and vibrant with a rich and mysterious history not based on Tolkien mythology. This brings me to magic. To me, magic is an essential part of the fantasy genre, so, of course, there is magic in the Five Kingdoms universe. However, one critical part of the Five Kingdoms universe is that magic is an abundant commodity that is a part of everyday life and not some plot device used to drive the story. In short, the Five Kingdoms universe is the setting of epic fantasy stories with deep characters and world-building. I try to tell as many different types of stories as possible in the universe, and hopefully, you can find something for you in it.

The Ancient One
The Alteric Empire was vast and powerful. Their borders reached to all coasts of the continent, and their banner swayed in the wind of every town. Their knowledge on magic was second to none, and their firm grasp of combat trained highly skilled warriors. Their enemies trembled at their approach, and their friends feasted their arrival. The Orcs, and the Dwarves, were conquered, and given equal rights as their Human Overlords. For thousands of years they reigned supreme, and peace and prosperity was abundant throughout the continent. The arrival of the Elves shattered that. Led by their so called "Great One", they invaded the empire. Elves fell in droves, hundreds, then thousands, then hundreds of thousands, but the empire lost ground. In a last attempt to defeat the Elves, the Crown Prince was sealed away, with the hope that one day he would be awoken in an time where the Elves can be stopped. Without the prince, the Elves lost less and less soldiers with each attack, until the Empire crumbled. After thousands of years of occupation, Humanity is no more. There are only elves, orcs, and dwarves, and humans have been forgotten by most. Hundreds of thousands of years later, a young elf will stumble across an ancient secret, and the Elven Empire will shake in it foundations. For the Ancient Being awakes, and he brings doom.
