In the royal study, which is the personal office of Eros, the priest named Emanuel is waiting patiently for his king's arrival. Emanuel is in his late seventies and has been employed as the royal priest of the Were kingdom for fifty years now. Eros's grandfather, ADALWOLF offered him the position when he saw how knowledgeable Emanuel is about everything that is to know about the Were kingdom and other races living in other worlds. Adalwolf was very fond of Emanuel and so did his son the late king Johnathan. Eros respects Emanuel for his immense knowledge and always used to show interest in learning about new things. His thirst for knowledge led Emanuel to travel and investigate unknown and mysterious things. He was investigating the Nephilim when he received a message from the king that he is in urgent need of Emanuel's help. "His highness the mighty king of the Were kingdom is gracing us with his presence" one of the guards announced the arrival of the king. Emanuel slowly stood
Eros is confused when all of a sudden Emanuel froze in his spot. He is looking at Iris, but he is not really looking at her. Iris is confused as well. The royal priest is looking at her as if he knows who she is. But this is the first time she is looking at him. She turned her gaze towards Eros who is equally confused as she is."Priest Emanuel" Eros addressed the dazed-looking priest loudly so that Emanuel could pull himself out of wherever he got stuck in. Emanuel is jolted out of the past by the commanding voice of his king. He turned away from the princess and gave his full attention to his king. "Apologies my king. Lady Iris reminded me of an old friend of mine" he told the truth.Both Iris and Eros looked at each other with matching frowns."You mean to say that you know Iris?" Eros inquired.Emanuel shook his head. He saw the little princess when she was barely five. He recognized her with the help of the mark on her neck. It is a claw mark which she received when she was t
"Iris, this is not you. You are hurting yourself. Think with a cool head" Eros urged her.Iris is not in the state of mind to listen to him. She is feeling like she is drowning in chaos and running away from this palace is the only thing she wanted to do right now. Since the moment she came here, her life slipped out of her control. She is being pushed by the new circumstances and hidden revelations. She is not sure what and whom to believe anymore."I don't want to listen to your nonsense. Tell them to open this door or I will slit my throat" she threatened. Eros decided to let her go. That is the only right thing he could do right now. She is not in the right frame of mind to understand anything right now. Once she cools down considerably, she will be open to listening to him."Guards" he called his guards, who opened the doors immediately. Iris moved backwards, keeping her eyes on Eros. She knows he would try to stop her. So she didn't move her gaze away from him. She is so focus
Iris laid down beside Eros, who is yet to open his eyes. She kept thinking about what Ojas said a few hours ago.'He loves you more than himself. You are his strength and he will not be the same without you. Leave him if you don't love him' It is a sleepless night for her like the last couple of nights. But she is not tired. She is restless and couldn't make her mind settled. She wanted to know about her past. 'The human world was never yours. You are not born there 'She began to come to terms with what the priest said. She has a hazy memory of being called a red-eyed girl during her young years by her classmates. She remembered how her grandfather relocated them to a new place and taught her to control her emotions.When she innocently asked him why her classmates became scared of her in her previous school, he lied to her.'They were kids just like you dear. Just like how you get scared often by things which I am not scared of, they must have seen something and must have assumed
"Adalwolf was a great king of the Were kingdom. He was powerful, kind and selfless. Johnathan was his son, who is the late king of the Were kingdom before his highness, Eros took over the Throne. Adalwolf is also my best friend. When Eros was still a young boy, he insisted that he wanted to go hunting in the forest. Eros likes to hunt wild beasts much more faster than him. He loves to fight with them in his wolf form. That was one thing that never changed since his childhood. Adalwolf adores his grandson and was very proud of him. Eros always used to convince his grandfather to join him on a trip into the wilderness" Emanual paused. He looked at the young woman, closely observing her reaction. "During one such trip, when everyone was asleep, we ventured deeper into the forest just for a stroll. What we never imagined was to stumble upon a family being hunted and slaughtered by the Nephilim. When Adalwolf saw a father urging his little girl to run and save her life, he decided to prote
In the imperial palace, slowly Eros began to gain a conscience. The first thing he noticed is the silence around him. The second thing he noticed was the faint scent of Iris greeting him. Just by the intensity of her scent, he can tell she is not here. She was not in their bed chamber for a while now, which resulted in fading away of her scent. Eros understood that. He opened his eyes and blinked several times to adjust his blurry eyes to his surroundings. He tried to sit upright, but every fiber in his body protested at a slight moment. As the silver is still present in his system and it will take a few more days for his body to flush it out, he is still in pain. He gritted his teeth and sat upright with difficulty. By the time he managed to sit, he is breathing heavily with exertion. Slowly his mind began to catch up with the events before he was injured. He began to panic thinking that Iris must have left the palace. She was demanding to let her go when everything happened un
"Thomas, what's the matter?" Emanual asked. Iris began to get worried. She knows only one thing can make Thomas this worked up, and it is Eros. "Is it Eros? What happened to him? Is he alright?" she asked with concern. Thomas took a deep breath before sharing what he came for. "Lady Iris, his highness is awake. But he is angry. He asked about you. General Maxim said that you went out with some work and would be back soon. But that angered his highness greatly. He is trying to kill Maxim" Thomas said hastily. Iris gasped with shock. "Oh dear god. He must be thinking that i left the palace. Let's go" she muttered and rushed towards the Imperial palace, leaving Emanual behind. "Well done old friend. His highness loves Iris deeply. He would never let her go or let any harm touch her either. Now i should find out where you are" Emanual thought. When Iris reached the Imperial palace, she saw Mina and the other concubines from the harem waiting outside while anxiously looking inside
"She should be punished". "She should be thrown out of the harem". "Prison is the right place for her". "She intentionally injured his highness". All the concubines began to trash talk about Iris right in front of Eros. They are under the belief that Eros must be angry with Iris for injuring him like that. Eros has his eyes fixed on Iris, who is lying on the ground while trying to support her upper body with the help of her arms. His face is a blank mask. He is unable to understand where they both stand after what happened between them. He is not angry about what happened, but he remembered that she was angry with him. He wanted to hug her with relief and tell her how happy he is with her decision to stay back. 'But for how long? How long are you going to stay here? Until i open my eyes? If that is the case, then will you leave now? Look at how my other concubines are treating you. I would want to leave too if i were you. But Iris, you will not be able to face those Nephilim o
After one month... Samael declared that the Nephilim will never harm the Skipper seers again. Everyone heard about how he helped the Skipper princess to kill his evil father. That news spread like wildfire all among the supernatural beings. The remaining Skipper seers who managed to hide and save their lives for this longer came out of their hiding. They are not many, but it's a start. They approached the Skipper princess, who is also the queen of the Were kingdom. Eros gave them permission to stay in the Were kingdom if they doesn't want to go back to the Seer world. As their princess is living in the Were kingdom, they preferred to live there as well. Samael became sensible and completely changed himself. His mistakes made him realize what is right and what is wrong. He is now trying to become a great ruler, unlike his predecessor. He also formed a good bond with Iris and Eros never objected to his presence in the Were kingdom. Especially after how he saved Iris and the others fr
Asael's Nephilim is huge. He is the biggest Nephilim no one has ever seen. The rain of arrows showering over him is making little to no difference at all on the Nephilim giant. He began to move closer to the Nephilim palace, each step is shaking the ground violently. The tremors caused by his footfalls make all the shifters go off balance. Some of the warriors lost their hold on their bows and arrows, while the others began to fall down and is having a hard time getting back on their feet. "Shit, he is coming closer. He can destroy the palace as easily as he squashes a bug" Ojas muttered as panic and uncertainty began to bubble inside all of them.Iris and Eros are worried. For the first time, Iris began to fear her life.'What if I lose my life today? Can Eros survive the loss of his other half?' She wondered.She saw how Eros moved a little so that he is standing right in front of her. He is making sure to protect her life with his. She saw how all the warriors are scared, but how
In the Were kingdom, before Eros, Iris, Maxim and Ojas could go inside the palace after sending off Samael, another portal opened a little farther away from the palace."Shit, he is coming" Maxim is the first person to notice the portal, alerting Eros and Iris."Maxim, tell our warriors to take positions" Eros instructed.A soldier brought a bow and arrows to Iris. She is wearing a tight black corset over a black t-shirt, with a black breach with boots. Adalwolf recommended this to her when she insisted upon taking part in the fight against Asael.While Eros has his claws drenched in blood along with his sabres and hidden knives."Ojas, go and inform Emanuel. We need weapons drenched in the blood of my father and grandmother. What we have now will only work on the Nephilim Soldiers. We need a stronger potion to kill Asael. Hurry" Iris urged Ojas, who ran to inform the same to Emanuel. In the royal facility, both Emanuel and Adalwolf are tense. Just then Ojas came to inform them about
"I understood that I cannot find peace until my killer is punished " she said sadly. Samael became sad. "Forgive me, mother. I couldn't save you from him" he apologised with grief and regret. She lovingly ruffled his hair. "You were a little boy yourself. I never held it against you that you didn't step in. In fact, I was happy that you are safe. My only regret was that he made you hate me. I couldn't bear to see your hatred directed against me son. But now I am happy that you regained your memories. Now I can be at peace that you would avenge my death" she said softly. Samael leaned into her touch like he is the same little boy when he lost his mother. She caressed her son with love and affection. She healed all of his wounds. Just then they heard voices from outside the room. Samael looked at the door with a frown. "Son, you go back to the Were kingdom. Here, take this" she told him with urgency and handed over a vile to him. But Samael is not willing to part ways with hi
Eros looked at Iris who nodded her head. He is silently asking her what to do. She nodded and conveyed to him that she wants to help Samael. The son of Asael knows everything about his father and even his weakness. She is sure he would help them to kill the Nephilim lord.When their goals are the same, why not help each other?"You need our help? You are alone against your father and hundreds of Nephilim soldiers. You tried to kill your father but failed. Now you are a runaway convict who is wanted by your father along with my mate." Eros summarized Samael's present condition.Samael nodded, accepting everything the Were king stated."Alright, we are ready to help you. But you cannot stay inside this palace. This place is warded against the Nephilim. Moreover, if you stay in the Were world for much longer, you will die from excessive bleeding. You need to heal yourself. I suggest you go back to the Seer world and heal your wounds before coming here again. I don't think it would take m
In the Were kingdom, Eros, Adalwolf, Iris, Emanuel, Maxim, and Ojas are devising a plan to face Asael, who is going to attack the Were palace soon."It's been one full day from the time we escaped from the Seer world. I am sure Asael would have already found out that Iris is missing. It will not take him much time to find out where she is. So he is going to come after her sooner" Adalwolf shared his opinion.Eros is feeling the same way."What you said is right, grandfather. He was searching for Iris for years now. He will not be quiet after learning that she escaped from his clutches once again. He is going to come soon. He will not relax until he kills her" he said with the knowledge he gained from the book he read about Asael.Adalwolf and the others frowned at his words. Eros is speaking as if he knows everything about the former Nephilim lord."How do you know that he was searching for her for years?" Adalwolf questioned.Eros sighed. He did not get time to share about where he l
"Son, I think you have been influenced by someone against me. That is why you are placing these kinds of blame against me. This is not right" he said patronizingly. The Nephilim soldiers who work for Samael remembered how the Were king insisted about Asael killing his wife. They are stuck in confusion. They cannot understand if what he said is true or was he influencing Samael. Samael snorted sarcastically. "Who will influence me against you father? Everyone detests me as much as they detest you. You deserve the hatred you are getting, but i don't. All i did wrong was blindly trusting in you. I thought i am avenging for the loss you experienced after losing my mother. I really believed that the Skipper king eloped with my mother. They were times when i struggled to hate my mother for what she did to you, but failed. Deep down my heart knows she is innocent, that's why i couldn't hate her. It's you whom i should detest for what you did" he said sadly. All the soldiers began to susp
Samael went to the tower where Asael is in, with his full army. He knows how strong Asael is and how hard it would be to defeat him. But still, Samael didn't back up. He declared war against his father, and he is going to fight until the end. The Nephilim soldiers who are guarding the tower notice Lord Samael coming toward the tower with his army. "It's lord Samael. Inform our lord Asael about his arrival" one of the Nephilim soldiers alerted the other soldier, who rushed inside the tower to inform the same to Asael. "Lord Samael is coming this way" the Nephilim soldier Informed Asael's right-hand man, who frowned. "Lord Samael is coming now? Why?" he wondered out loud. Despite his doubt, he still informed Asael about Samael's arrival. "What? Samael is coming? Let's go" Asael murmured and he walked out of the tower to greet his son. But when he saw that his son is coming with his full army, he frowned. 'Am I imagining this or is Samael looking really angry?' he thought to himse
In the Seer world, Samael declared war against his father and the killer of his mother Asael. Surprisingly, all of his soldiers are on his side. For some reason, they never liked Asael that much. So when Samael revealed that Asael is the one who killed his mother and he is making them kill the poor Skipper seers for his sins, they all became disturbed. Nephilim's are giants and are stronger species. But no one wants to kill others for nothing. Moreover, the task of hunting and killing the Skipper seers is not easy. It's tiring and that would keep the Nephilim soldiers away from their families for months and sometimes even years. So many people suffered because of some selfish reasons of their previous lord. So they decided to end everything by killing Asael. He is powerful and an old Nephilim. The Nephilim's grow their strength as they grow older. In that aspect, Asael is more powerful than the rest of them. But still, Samael wants to kill him no matter what. On the other hand, in
