Dragon Age fanfiction: Eternal Melody (Leliana/Mahariel)

“By the Maker, what happened to you?!”

It was this exclamation, fronted by Leliana, when she saw her comrade cripplingly walk towards her tent in the middle of the night. The Orlesian bard knew something unnerving had happened to the particular companion as she discerned agony in her face, she could tell by just looking. If she wasn’t there by chance, reading old scrolls full of ancient tales found in some ruins which naturally piqued her interest as a bard, she wouldn’t have known what would happen to the Warden since no one else seemed to be up at this hour but her. Though Shale never slept and always put itself at constant patrols, guarding the entrance of their camp, the stone golem didn’t seem to notice both woman’s restive in the meantime.

Between Two Roses - Chapter XVI

Dissatisfying, a rather mundane word to describe one of Matsui group elites, despite of his promotion at young age, regardless of the achievements he had attained. If one ever discussed about him with the head of Matsui Enterprise, ever talked about his projects and contributions within the corporation, probably one word that would always cling to his impression of Shiba Tomoya was dissatisfying.

Being Selfish For One Second

Can I forget for a while about Palestinian kids at war or starving people in Africa cause I feel like I want to let out my burdening problems recently and I don't want people feel like I'm having less problem than them or whoever or they feel like I should be more grateful about this or that because that's what I've been doing, enduring and forgetting what I actually feel in the meantime.

Since I left my smartphone in a taxi, I went back using my old Nokia which is unfortunately now, is broken again in a funny way, the screen goes all white that I can only receive incoming calls. In the same time I got no internet so I couldn't access my assignments or anything uni-related on the net. As if not enough misfortune already, I ran out of money and my mom was outside town for days so I had to wait like, 3 days before she sent me some again. My mom is working alone since Dad died in 2002 and next year she is retiring, thus I don't have much allowance, only enough to eat twice or once a day so I have to do a side job to satisfy my selfishness as a teenager.

I couldn't do my part time job because if I used the remaining cash for the transportation (I am using public trans) I couldn't eat for the next days. That day I didn't buy food or anything and just stayed in my room, starving and crying to sleep. Crying because all misfortunes came in the same time, giving me an overwhelming disadvantages.

But ahh...I shouldn't complain anymore should I? Why would people hear my rantings anyway, they just want to read my works, and I don't want to bother people either so here, I think I've written enough. I should be grateful that I will be going to Japan in the next three months thanks to the scholarship for orphaned kids. And probably I can finally buy a nice smartphone and a Playstation portable I do always want to own someday, with the help of the money from the scholarship foundation.

Between Two Roses - Chapter XV

“Where have you been?!”

The stinging sensations on his cheek didn’t heal as more unforgiving blows hit his face, one after another, leaving him in disgrace. Never had him being utterly humiliated as this before, being beaten in front of Matsui group’s elites without daring to strike back, let alone replying anything to his infuriated opponent who was appeared to be his own father, the head of Matsui Enterprise. 

Between Two Roses - Chapter XIV

“A university student? You must be so smart then.” Matsui Jurina deliberately stepped on the terracotta walking path which led to the main house in the area. It took nearly five minutes of strolling from the enormous entrance gate to the only building in the surrounding garden, passing through the beds of flowers and mazes of beautifully cut animal-shaped shrubs. No matter how luxurious the lifestyle and buildings in Roppongi were, Jurina could tell that they were nothing compared to the politician’s daughter’s house, the stunning sight that never failed to make her stood in awe.

Between Two Roses - Chapter XIII

Matsui Rena squeezed her legs tighter to her chest as she felt the surface of the sponge rubbed her back, massaging the tissue underneath, giving her nerves a warm and relaxing feeling. Quite the reverse, she was actually holding her shyness as her chest started pounding when the gentle strokes began. She didn’t dislike being clean or something, but the idea of her taking a bath with someone else other than her mother was something very bizarre to her standard, let alone being washed by someone she had slept with; it was too much for her to take. However, the one sitting right behind her was remained calm and kept tenderly rubbing the porcelain perfection as if the awkward silence between them didn’t exist.

Between Two Roses - Chapter XII

“Thanks for the hard work.”

Jurina took her bag from the locker and slammed its door shut. She was in a good humor today as Mariko had praised her for making the customers feeling loved coming to her club tonight. Glad with the progress her apprentice was showing, the woman who had her face twice appeared in the newspaper because of scandal with some politicians, even offered Jurina to become a fulltime hostess with a promising wages as the return. However, not so sure if she wanted to, Jurina softly refused stating that she needed time to reconsider things out before deciding to be any.
