During our stay, Lowell guarded Dylan's room and strictly prohibited me from entering, while Macan kept an eye on me so I wouldn't sneak in through other means. I was about to sneak in through the window, but Macan suddenly appeared out of nowhere and asked, while leaning on the wall with his arms crossed, "Babe, what do you think you are doing?" I flinched and stammered, "I was lost. I forgot where the entrance is located." "Hmm, I see. I'll bring you to the entrance," he replied while chuckling as he approached me and lifted me in his arms. "I can walk!" I screamed. "Yes, but you're so naughty that I can't let you out of my sight," he nagged as he walked around Icarus's house. My brother suddenly ran towards us and stammered, "I-I t-think Tora's a-about to lay an egg, but she's looking for Ari." "What?! R-Really? Why did you leave her?" I asked as I sprung out of Macan's arms. "The tribe healer is already helping her, and I couldn't find you in your room," he nagged. "Sorry,
It's been a week since we arrived on the North Continent, and everyone was baffled. I don't know what my spouses were hiding, but they looked restless.I asked if Tora had any idea about the secret of the males, but she said she didn't know what it was. I felt uneasy but decided to just observe until I could figure out a way to lure one of them to speak up. The weather in the north was colder than in the Mid Continent, so everyone was wearing a coat. I had some assumptions about what they were hiding, so I just had to get one of them to tell the truth.The easiest target was the most passive of them, Lowell. However, there was a more important concern I needed to address first—Tora just gave birth, and it will be crucial for her to travel."Brother, stay with Tora. We can't let her travel with us in her condition; she might get sick," I suggested."Right. Tora needs at least a month to recover," Lowell said."No! I don't want to stay here! I won't eat if you leave me here!" Tora threat
I stood up, and the water was just up to my waist. I walked further to see if the other side was deeper, and it was. I suddenly slipped on a slope under the lake, and then I heard a splash and felt like I was suddenly pulled out of the water."What are you doing?" Lowell growled as he pulled me out of the water.His silver eyes glimmered like the moon as he hovered over me. His wet hair was dripping on my face, so I laughed and said, "You said it's shallow. I was just testing the water.""I don't know what to do with you," he sighed, then briefly pressed his lips against mine.He lifted me in his arms, placed me near a boulder, and said, "I'll just get some towels and a new set of clothes."I suddenly grabbed his arm before he could leave and pulled him down, causing him to stumble to the ground."Ah, Ari?" he groaned as he hit the ground.I jumped on top of him, and he was stunned."What's wrong, Ari?" he asked as he tried to sit down.I used my power to restrain his hands and bound t
We'd been traveling for a month already when we finally saw the Horned Owl Tribe, and once again, we were surrounded by an armed group as soon as we stepped foot on their territory. We had no choice but to calmly ask for the presence of their alpha. Dylan walked forward and said, "We would like to talk to your alpha." "Alpha of the Sirens, what is your reason for stepping on this land?" one of the Horned Owls asked. "Greetings, old friend! I wish to request a place our people could stay before we can talk about the reason for our visit. We've traveled quite far, and one of our females has just given birth," Dylan greeted. "Have you lost your mind, Dylan? Why would I accept regular beastmen in my tribe? They don't belong here in the North," he responded. "They are not just regular beastmen, Aquil," Dylan replied, then extended his hand to me and pulled me near. "Let me introduce myself," I whispered while pulling his arm. He smiled and nodded. "I am Ari, goddess of the sun. Heed
The sky and the land blackened as the moon covered the sun, causing chaos in the land of mortals. There were strange movements of the land, causing earthquakes and huge tidal waves. The male beastmen suddenly lost their control, causing them to transform into their aggressive forms. Females and young ones ran to save their lives as the goddesses fused together. Just a moment ago, before our fusion, me and my group went to the abandoned temple and entered from above since it had no ceiling. I could see the statues of all the Immortals in the center of the huge temple. The Horned Owls kneeled down as I walked toward the center. The sight was exactly the same as the dream I had years ago. I looked back and saw everyone kneeling except Dylan. They had already started praying but didn't dare walk to the center. We were suddenly taken aback when darkness slowly covered the land—the eclipse was already starting. We felt the ground shake as they all transformed into their aggressive forms.
[Flashback] Our loving father, who was always busy lately due to the rebellion and attacks of the forces of the descendants of Immortals, ran towards me covered in blood and tainted with dark energy from the Abyss. I gasped and cried in shock. The battle had been recurring ever since the execution of the old alpha of the Sirens, but I never saw him in such a dire state. Also, none of those races have power from the Abyss. "F-Father... W-Why..." I stammered in disbelief. "We don't have much time. We need to run away. He's coming after you," he said in a hoarse and worried voice. "What about Ayla and Mother?" I asked. He didn't respond and lifted me into his arms. "Gurion! Please protect Ayla and Mother!" I hurriedly shouted as my father spread his wings, and then fled from Nirvana. "He won't hurt them arbitrarily, and it was your mother's will to prioritize your safety. I have to save you at all costs," he answered while holding me tightly as I glided in the sky, evading every cl
My consciousness came back and I realized that Ayla was flying into the sky at a fast pace. "You finally got your memories back? I know you hate this, but I need to confront your mother," she mumbled upon realizing that my consciousness had come back. "She's also your mother. What are you planning to do?" I asked nervously. "Keep calm, my dear sister. I just want to play and see how she will react," she answered with malice in her tone. "You know I can feel your emotions. Don't do anything you might regret. I'll do my best to stop you if ever you go overboard," I responded. She opened a portal in the clouds and entered it while smirking in excitement. She masked her energy to transform our form into my passive form and went towards the palace gate. The guards opened the gate upon seeing us and bowed down while greeting us, "Welcome back, dear light of Nirvana, goddess of the sun." I was surprised that they didn't notice that it was Ayla whom they were greeting. Ayla felt extreme
My father's core was slowly fading as time passed by. Ayla and I tried to pour our energy into regenerating his core, but it only slowed down the process. The only way to dispel the curse was either to enter the bridge of trial or defeat Sephtis.We were distraught to see him fading slowly despite the efforts of all the Immortals in Nirvana."The Gate of the Abyss was securely sealed after Arie's death. Even Ayla won't be able to open it anymore unless you both combine your powers," our mother said while looking at Ayla, who suddenly looked guilty."Is there something I didn't know, Mother?" I asked."The day Sephtis attacked Nirvana, Ayla opened the gate of the Abyss, saying she wanted to see her real father. Your father just got back from a long war in the land of mortals due to the descendants of the Immortals and tried to help me stop her from opening the gate, but it was already too late. She fainted after using her power, and Sephtis suddenly entered Nirvana and fought with your
