NadineLion and Biel went to talk to the guards and priests guarding the entrance to the Enchanted Forest while we sat waiting to move on. It was then that Jackson began to talk about stories of the place.“They say this place has strange creatures,” the vampire said, and everyone laughed. “Mock all
“No need to go in a hurry,” the vampire said to Wolf. “We don't know if that smell is a trap. And I can't find anyone nearby; my mind doesn't sense any thinking creature.”I frowned and closed my eyes tightly.Mom, if you're around, please show up. Was my plea, but my mother was nowhere to be found
ArisEvery time I thought it could get better, something got worse.And I was sick of things getting worse.I knew the forest wouldn't be a very welcoming place, but I didn't expect to fall off some kind of cliff in that wild way.I cursed when I heard Nadine complaining about the bruises caused by
“Because of this,” I said as I ran at hyperspeed in record time.“Ah, right,” Nadine said with a smile and then burst out laughing.“Indeed,” Biel said, amused.“Then let him be the judge,” Nadine said, and I laughed.“I could never be a fair judge; you're always going to win, always,” I said sternl
NadineWhen I was a little girl of just six years old, my mother told me the story of how the god of chaos came down to the land of Xalaris to explore the world he and his friends and siblings had created.Her sugar-coated version of the truth, one in which the god of chaos was a savior of sorts, di
“Nadine, daughter, you need to calm down; this is not the time to be defensive,” my mother said calmly, and I kept my eyes on her beloved.“This is just the time I'm going to be defensive,” I said firmly. “If he dares to touch a hair on any of my mates, he's going to meet me.”I thought the god of c
“What did the prophecy say?” I asked, and my mother looked at the god of chaos seriously.“The prophecy of the nymphs of destiny said that a god of the main triad would fall in love with a mortal and the result of that love would be the key to avoiding war,” my mother said, and I started laughing.“
NadineMy mother couldn't be serious.It had to be a joke in very bad taste.“Impossible,” I said at once.“The reason the Anarkhia Order has hunted you is to use your powers against the gods,” the chaos god said seriously. “They do not size up the fact that you are a goddess with dormant divine pow
Hakan laughed in amusement.“She's going to burn forever when I steal the gods' powers and assassinate them,” Hakan said. “She'll understand why being a god's whore is inconvenient.”“My parents were mates,” I said angrily, and Hakan raised his eyebrows.“You consider the god of chaos your father?”
Nadine“You don't have to do this if you want me to collaborate,” I said immediately, and Hakan raised his eyebrows.“Say no more, Nadine,” Biel said, and Hakan looked at Aria.Aria pulled Elle's blonde hair hard, and my friend cried out in pain.I noticed that her hair was dirty and had dried blood
“Impossible,” Biel said. “The shields were extinguished by the war.”“That's false,” Hakan said. “My maternal family is descended from a very strong lineage of Shields. It was decided to keep the secret for generations to preserve our existence because the Temple ordered our death. Nadia did not kno
I shook my head; my mother had never told me any of that. On the contrary, she spoke highly of my grandmother.“I don't believe that,” I said doubtfully.“Whether you believe me or not is your business, but that's not going to stop me from telling you what I lived through and witnessed,” Hakan said
NadineSeeing Lion's body on the ground brought back bad memories.I couldn't help but watch as a large pool of blood formed around him. I didn't know what kind of spell it was, but I knew very well that even though Lion had died, his blood was still flowing out of his orifices like water flowing in
I realized that all my mates were conveying calm and restraint.“We have to see what the anarchists want,” Biel said earnestly.“Death would be somewhat benevolent of their true intentions,” I replied sincerely.At that moment the time loop ceased, and the man who had trapped us in it was dressed di
NadineDrago's words gave me chills.Aris couldn't get into Drago's mind, and when I saw his stern expression, I knew things were going to get complicated. My dragon was telling the truth, and that was terrible on misunderstood levels.Drago vomited again and threw up everything in his stomach.“Nac
“We need to send a message to the priests and the mission guardians; we need to go back to replan everything,” Lion said. “Let's wait for him where we left them.”I felt the trip was a waste of time.So we walked to the place where we had arrived; we did it calmly, without haste, and trying to be as
We all felt and followed him.When we reached the vault, I stopped as an icy cold flooded my body, and I had a vision of the sacred cloak being carried out of the Temple.“What's wrong?” asked Biel, seeing that I had frozen near the stairs.“The cloak was taken out of the vault,” I said confidently.
