EleusisMortal RealmApophis’ Dwelling•PHAELIN• The Apophians cowered in fear as they witnessed the immense azure flame wrapping my existence. I sprinted toward the direction of Apophis before he could even rise upright. I struck him with an obsidian orb, and I saw both of them leap backward. Bryndis and Naeitha attacked them as well. It was the chance, and I took it. I rushed and had Lothaire in my arms and he was half-conscious. Denali hurried beside me, and he produced a sphere of defense around us. I pulled the knife on the axilla of my husband, and he screamed in agony. Arwald and the other gods charged at Behitha and Apophis. I took out the Panacea the goddess of wisdom and knowledge gave beforehand. I lifted the head of my husband whilst his eyes remained closed. I placed the vial in front of his lips as I poured the carmine liquid. “I am here,” I told him. “My love…” he said in a stuttering voice whilst tears fell from his eyes. He

EleusisMortal RealmApophis’ Dwelling•PHAELIN• Eleusis. I wandered my sight as we arrived at the abode of Apophis. I pulled the reins of the pegasuses and I leaped from my chariot as I struck an Apophian with the Xiphos. I felt no fear as I stepped on the battleground. Foes screamed in pain clutching their agonizing wounds as I hit them with my daggers. One of the enemies rushed towards my direction and I swung my sword to behead him. I cast a death wave and the Apophians in front of me fell to the ground in full torment. “Perish in my hands!” I yelled as I pierced the core of an enemy beside me. I felt an arrow pass by my left ear, and I turned around. I dodged as the

Underworld RealmLothaire’s DemesnePalace •PHAELIN• I held the reins of the pegasuses as the earth parted to give way. Before I left the mortal realm, mother told me she was grateful I became the consort of the underworld god. She told me Lothaire deserved my entire existence for I was solely made for him. She told me she was certain I would reign the whole dominion with all of my being. I agreed on her statements as I gave her an embrace and I told them I was grateful to hear their explanations. I swiftly returned to my demesne as I tried to devise by thinking how I would express all I found out to Lothaire. I entered the gates and flew above the river Styx when I saw the waters ceased. Astoundment filled my face for it seemed like the souls froze within the stream. The ferry was out of sight, and I found Catori laying at the banks of the river as well. I brought to mind he might have been taking a rest. The underworld feline sa

SolumArwald' RealmPalace GroundsPHAELIN• I decided to remain in the stronghold of Arwald until sunset before I return to my realm. Bryndis told me it would be alright to stay as long as I want. I went outside my chamber early at daybreak for I could not sleep any longer. I saw the goddess of wisdom and knowledge was training on her own. I joined her in the Palace Grounds as we came to an agreement of having a duel with another. I changed my wardrobe and took my battle equipment. We positioned ourselves on the center as we started. I parried the blade of Naeitha as she advanced in front of me. I gripped my sword tightly as I pushed the weapon towards her. I took a step on the side, and she opposed my attack. She yelled, “I want to ask you a thing!” I held my sword above my left shoulder as I answered, “What is it?” “I was certain you were shedding a tear the night before,” she shouted in return as she swung her sword and I dogged on

Underworld RealmPalaceMaster's Chamber •PHAELIN• “What did you say?” I asked as I tried to confirm. I wanted to be certain I heard his statement right for it brought a moment of deafness to my ears. “Do I have to repeat it twice, my love?” he uttered in a soft tone, and I quite jolted in the sudden change of his voice, “Your love is all I yearn for.” His word sent shivers down my spine. I slowly shook my head as I closed my eyes. I was certain I am solely building the occurrences inside my mind. I was certain I am in my reverie at that point in time. I should not be deceived once again. I opened my eyes and reached for the knob of the door. However, an obsidian mist slowly pulled me closer to his direction. I waved my hand and it dispersed into thin air. He grabbed my wrist, and I did not turn my back as I asked in a breaking voice, “What do you want?” He did not let go of my wrist. His touched made my knees crumble but I preven

Underworld RealmLothaire’s DemesnePalace•PHAELIN• I stood in my position like a statue as I gazed at the expanse of the Palace Grounds. The Winter Waltz was over, and I was called by Naeitha earlier. When I turned around, Lothaire went out of sight. I tried to look for him, but he definitely vanished. It was quite strange for I did not anticipate his actions. I failed to understand his demeanor beforehand. Before I left our kingdom, he was nowhere to be found and his words even brought devastation to my inner being. However, when I was with him earlier, it felt different, and he was stating words that almost made me crumble. I shrugged my shoulders on the thought inside my mind. Albeit Bryndis stated my
