SWNOVELS Chapter 10: Sin
"No evil dooms us hopelessly except the evil we love, and desire to continue in, and make no effort to escape from."
-George Elliot
------------------------------------
Inside a huge temple....
A man who was tall with taught muscles was frowning.
"Are all the preparations done?"
"Yes Elder. All the preparations are done", a man replied.
"Make sure not to mess the plan as you all did 26 years ago. I won't forgive you all this time"
"Yes Elder"
"Leave"
"Yes Elder"
The man slowly retreated.
Inside the chamber, the man who looked no more than 30 was lost in a trance.
"It's been 26 years. Are you going to remember me? Probably not". The man's voice was extremely sullen and remorseful when he said, "I am sorry Cynthia."
"Revenge shall be taken, blood shall spill
A sinner needs to be punished,
and the innocent shall get justice"

"I know, but I am a Curious cat so do me a favor and tell me why we are here?" Severus asked in annoyance
Monk"..."
"Fine, I happen to have some knowledge on necromancy and by chance, I saw this bird who was flying in the sky". He pointed his index finger towards the Noworry.
"He was really weak and soon he fainted. So, being a person who had a heart of gold I could not bear to leave you both alone. So, I carried both of you to my place"
"And"
"and nothing. I just helped you to lie down here and left you to rest for a bit"
Severus"...."
Severus was speechless. He did not know how to react.
"Okay, thanks for your help Monk but now I need to take my leave so allow me"
"You will die if you leave this place", a gloomy voice echoed.
"What??? Why? What did I do?" Severus asked in a panic.
"Huh, what did you do? Weren't you gutsy to challenge a curse? Now because of that not only you but that bird also gets afflicted. Even if you aren't a necromancer you should know that curses aren't a thing that should be taken lightly. You are lucky that the effects were less but your body still needs time to recover otherwise you will be dead in no time"
Severus was dead silent.contemporary romance
He never thought that the curse would be so powerful.
"Is it so?"
"Yes"
"What should I do now?"
"Just rest for the time being and try to restore your energy"
"HUHH"
With that, the old monk left the room. Severus was left alone. He felt cold. It was the same feeling which he had when the Crown prince stabbed him. He had no one.
No one who would be sad if he died.
No one who would cry after his death.
No one to mourn.
"Again, it seems like death loves me", Severus chuckled.
"Since you love me so much so I shall fulfill god's wish" Severus didn't know how but he fell asleep again. He had a good sleep which energized him. When he woke up the first thing he looked for was Noworry. He was frantic when he didn't see him beside his bed and was about to shout when the monk entered his room again. To his surprise that arrogant bird was perched on the monk's shoulder and was eating corns.
Severus"...."
"Get ready and wash up. We need to talk", with this the monk disappeared again.
Severus"...."
"Damn you noworry! You betrayed me. I will make sure you will pay for it".
Severus grumbled in annoyance and went for a quick wash up.
