The dripping sound of water dripped continuously accompanied with strange noises and a sound of footsteps. Queen Suna walked through the dark tunnel, she had a black cloak on her and its cap over her hair. Her eyes were firm and sharp so that she could see through the dark without the assistant of the fire stick she held in her hand. She strolled deeper into the tunnel, the ground was covered with water which dripped on nonstop, on the walls were insects and moths but Queen Mind was far away from it, all she cared about was her destination and she had to get it all settled before sunrise. Soon, she got to a three paths junction, with a smooth walk, she entered into the first path which was dry and cold. The walls were filled with cobwebs and spiders, as she headed deeper, a ray of light became visible, each step she took could not be heard anymore and a hard but terrifying expression hung on her face. Suna walked into a small room in a circular form, at the center laid an altar that
"Pregnant?" Lilia asked, the word felt like a bomb thrown to her face, her eyes fixed on Natacha who looked stunned herself. "Yes Lilia, you are pregnant" Natacha replied. She held Lilia's hand, touched her pulse and felt two heart beats instead of one. She looked up at Lilia whose eyes held so much awe, Pregnant? She can't be Pregnant! But how? She only mated with Adolphus three months ago and now she is pregnant? Unbelievable!Natacha nodded, "I can feel the heartbeat of two just by touching your wrist. Any witch can confirm that by touching a part of your body where your veins are" she paused, "When was the last time you bled?" She asked. Still surprised, Lilia looked at her not knowing what to say, to her realization, she hasn't bled for three months, at once, the truth dawned on her, she is really pregnant.A joy rises within her, is this what Adolphus is trying to inform her in her dream? Has he come back into the world in the form of her child? The news was so delightful that
The palace was quiet and gloomy, a tense atmosphere filled the kingdom and all servants went on with their daily activities, their heads bowing down and they whispered to themselves in a hush tone. Lilia walked through the long quiet hallway, with lurking eyes, she wondered what was wrong, all servants, including the soldiers looked gloomy and no one wanted to say a word. Lilia got to middle of the hallway, she had a tray filled with dirty plates and cups used by the kind. She turned to her right and a small hallway that led to the queen's room intrigued. Lilia stood still at her spot, at once, she heard whispers accompanied with sobs, her ears were so sharp and sensitive that she could hear the weeping voice clearly and at once, she recognized the voice as Queen's Suna. Curious, Lilia began to stroll down the path that led to the king's room. Something must be wrong somewhere, the palace is way too quiet, dull and with the sobs she heard, she knew at once that something terrible m
The sound of galloping horses rode towards the palace, a dust of smoke rose as they rode faster, the soldiers' firm eyes fixed on the palace. Soon, they got to the king's courtyard, got down from their horses and walked straight towards the king's throne room, their eyes filled with anger. They flung the door of the king open and strolled in, their heart filled with bitterness. King Fabian turned to them, he was surprised to find more than six soldiers in the palace, at once, his instincts told him that something serious must have happened and he had to take caution. One of the soldiers walked forward as the others stood back and stared at the king. With curious eyes, King Fabian looked at the approaching soldier, his ears itching for words. "My King" he bowed with respect even though his gaze was overwhelmed in pure anger. "Our kingdom is in ruins" he said in a tensed voice.King Fabian sat up, a worried look appeared on his face. The palace is still mourning the death of the p
The loud crowd roared violently, they eyes fixed on Lilia who was bounded by chains and laid on a stake. Her mouth was covered with a hard tape to prevent her from talking but her swollen eyes trembled in fear as she watched the soldiers surround the stake she was placed on with dry hay. More tears rolled down Lilia's eyes, she can't die this way, she just can't! Her plans, her words and her unborn child will be burnt along with her. She looked at the people's angry eyes, their eyes were stiff and filled with vengeance, they were ready to get her burned as soon as possible but all Lilia could do was lay on the stake with her eyes closed, her heart beating faster than ever. "Kingdom of Anedo!" King Fabian's loud voice echoed through the walls of the palace. At once, the crowd became silent and stared at the king who looked pleased that he was able to find the culprit as fast as he did. "It is a pity and a sad one that the princess of this kingdom isn't just a murderer but a witch" h
Queen Suna was overwhelmed with terror. She at once knew what Natacha wanted to do. No! She won't let it happen, she wants Lilia dead by all means and she only watches and allows this Natacha girl to take the blame."Liar!" Queen Suna roared, "She is a liar, she wants the witch to leave, we won't allow that! This girl isn't a witch! No one should listen to her but get the princess on the stake burned at once" she ordered in outrage. Natacha smiled with pain in her heart, she can allow Lilia to die, she has to die instead because she knows who Lila truly is, her identities as a witch and a werewolf, she won't let such a legendary born die of a sin she didn't commit. "You don't believe that I killed your worthless daughters" she yelled to the crowd, her motive to make them angry at her, "It was so much fun watching them die" she laughed wickedly, "The tears in their eyes as they choke to death, the look was so satisfying to glare at" she roared. The crowd was becoming tense and filled
The moon shone brightly in the sky, wood insects chirped nonstop and the howling sound of a nearby owl added a more tense sensation to the woods. Philip tossed to get comfortable on the ground, his head placed on the tree, as he tossed, a mosquito flew past his ear, irritated, he shoved it away, his eyes still closed in the most uncomfortable sleep he has ever had. His soldiers slept soundly, they were all tired and exhausted. None of them was as uncomfortable as the priest, they are used to sleeping in such places like this and their body is used to it. The full moon shone so brightly on them. Suddenly, Philip heard a sound emitting from behind the tree he rested upon. Scared, he opened his eyes and quickly stood up, the moon provided him with light which made him able to see through. With a beating heart, Philip scanned around the vast area, he saw nothing but bushes and leaves. A loud bird cried over him, Phlip looked up and saw a bird nest, the bird stood on a tree, his eyes fi
Four soldiers ran breathlessly into the palace, they had sweats trickling down their face and their eyes embowed in fright. The bright sun shone violently down on earth and the smell of red wine filled the air The maids around the palace courtyard stared at them with confused gaze as they wondered why the men looked dirty and came running like they were being pursued by someone. The door of the throne room opened widely and all soldiers burst into the vast room, their eyes fixed on King Fabian who turned to them in surprise. At once, the soldiers got to their knees with their heads bowed down in respect."My King" one of the men said in between breaths, his hand on his chest as his eyes wailed in fear. King Fabian studied their faces, the look on their faces were very alarming and at once, he knew that something dangerous must have happened. With his sight on them, King Fabian quickly recognized them as the soldiers who accompanied his son, Philip, to the 6th kingdom. He glanced a
