It was still a little dark when Tiana, Rex and Dalton erased the marks of them being in the area. Once all traces of them stray the night there was removed, they embarked on their journey once again, moving efficiently and silently. Once they reached an area, they ended up having to walk because the forest they had just entered was pretty dense. It was hard to run as a werewolf. Dalton had said that they would be able to find the griffins at the end of this forest. And he had said that this forest was mostly quiet. Even the monsters seem to avoid it instinctively. As they walked further in, Tiana could not help but feel nervous. She could only think that it was most probably nervousness because she was certain it was not fear that she was feeling. From the stories she had about griffins, she should fear them but she just could not seem to feel that fear and she knew that it was a good thing. Taking a deep breath, Tiana’s eyes gleamed bravely as she looked on ahead. Rex and Dalton w
When Dalton saw the other one of the ogres come he knew Rex was defeated was he dead? That was a question he was afraid of the answer. Dalton evaded the two that were with him and run toward were Rex was. On reaching he saw rex on the ground all bloody. "No! Rex!!" Dalton yelled as he jumped towards Rex who was on the ground and could barely move. The same giant monster which had attacked him was lifting its large feet right above the bleeding and battered comrade. It was planning to step on Rex and literally going to flatten him like a pancake. Cursing, Dalton forced himself to leap towards the young man. Sh*t! Can I make it in time?! Dalton extended all that he had to speed over to the fallen Rex. But he was late by second the ogre crushed Rex mercilessly. Dalton felt his whole body froze seeing Rex state. Was it truly over for Rex? Was he next? But this was no time to mourn, he went all beast like he had lost any reason to life but just to revenge his fallen soldier. Dalton leap
Recalling from before, when she had seen this griffin in the Red gate a while ago, Tiana had tried to communicate with it. But the griffin did not seem to be able to understand her. It had just stayed there and looked at her, its fiery eagle eyes so focused on her as if it were trying to identify and recognize her. Her necklace was shining again right at that moment, but Tiana did not have the luxury of time to even notice it. All she knew was that the necklace was her source of light in that dark space where the griffin was waiting. Due to her panic that her men might be dying if she delayed any longer, Tiana desperately and thoughtlessly approached the griffin, throwing caution into the wind and gambling on the possibility that it would not attack her. Despite realizing that it was so huge and definitely very dangerous, she was fearless. There was not a single ounce of fear in her heart as she ran towards it. Thankfully her gamble paid off. Then without wasting a moment further, s
Griffin took the two people to a stream so they could settle for the night. After securing Rex body on the griffin’s back Dalton went to hunt for some food, he felt Tiana alone as he knew she was save with the griffin.Dalton prepared the food as Tiana went to clean herself. After eating, her eyes dropped slowly as she watched the place that she had healed using her magic. "I think I'm going to sleep now…" she murmured and dozed off almost immediately and swayed before looking as though she would tumble over.Before Dalton could grab her, the griffin tail was suddenly there, pulling her to its back and serving as a support that she could lean back on.Dalton blinked then looked at the eagle’s eyes. He felt that this griffin seemed to be quite protective of the princess. Dalton innocently tilted his head as if trying to figure out a puzzle, and then shook his head as if to shake away some silly thought. He needed to clean himself then have rest for journey tomorrow."Thank you for savi
Tiana really did not feel anything that was wrong in her body at all. "We are going to continue our journey… without delay, I need to figure out how to bring Rex back…" she said decisively again, then she turned and approached the dragon. Dalton sighed when he thought about Rex. "Okay princess when ready we can leave.” Tiana was caressing the griffin’s feathers, all the while trying to mentally communicate with it. "Do you have a name?" she asked in her mind as she closed her eyes and grabbed her necklace. The griffin made low growl, as though it were responding to her question. "Is that a 'yes'?" Tiana’s eyes flew open in excitement. Her eyes quickly closed again as she put more focus in her mental communication with the griffin. It made that sound again. Somehow, she was starting to feel a little more relaxed, just like that feeling you get when your pet is behaving as such an adorable stress reliever. "Hmm… what could it? Is it Max?" she asked, and the griffin gave out a very
On reaching the shore of the lake, Yalck landed, Suddenly, it released a spine-chilling screech. It did not move from its spot at all. The sound that seemed to be call. Tiana and Dalton did not know why but they seemed to have that feeling that it was a call.They held their breaths in anticipation. Then a group of griffins suddenly appeared in the sky. They circled around over them in display of power and splendor, injecting more than a little fear into Dalton as he looked on, he wishes Rex was alive to see this.Only Tiana managed to maintain her calm façade, though she was as stunned as Dalton on the inside. The griffins started landing before Yalck one by one. There were eight of them and four of them were as large while the other four were about smaller in size.As if communicating, Yalck then proceeded to spread out its own wings before propelling itself from the ground and flying into the sky and the eight went opposite direction.Tiana looked back, she saw those other eight dr
While Tiana’s side was full of monsters, bloodshed, death, adventure and mystery, Nicklaus side was full of nightmares, confusion and anger.Nicklaus had woken up from the same nightmare and found himself on the floor and paralyzed. He was laying on the floor thinking he heard angry sounds coming from outside his room. Soon load footsteps followed and the door to his room flew open and hit the wall with a crushing sound. There at the door stood an angry Anders."Who are you?" He asked accusingly. Nicklaus was confused as he stood up and looked at Anders."Who are you?!" Anders repeated angrily. "And don't lie to me this time."Nicklaus gaze went to the paper in Ander’s hand and he immediately realized that he had found one of the sketches that were made of him when his brother was trying to find him."This…" Anders said holding the paper up. "This is you. Why was the crown prince looking for you?"Nicklaus didn't need to answer that. He knew that Anders had already figured it out."I
Tiana could see the woman’s face much clearer now. When she first saw this woman when she arrived in crystal valley, she could not even see her face clearly because she already looked so translucent, as if like she was already halfway through the process of fading at that time.Now looking at her properly and without any blurriness, Tiana noted that the woman was very beautiful. Like a creature forged in the dainty. Her long hair was golden like sun and her eyes bright like the sun. She was clad in a white silk dress."You're finally here, Princess… we've been waiting for you." The woman said and Tiana took a few steps closer to her.“We?" Tiana looked around expectantly, but she could not see anyone else beside her."They are inside the castle, princess," she said with a soft smile then she turned, "please, follow me.""Wait!" Tiana stopped her and the woman faced her again. As though she realized Tiana’s hesitation, she smiled again. "Please do not worry, princess. I know you still
Imagine living in a world full of fiery, feral beings, hiding in the shadows, roving in our dreams, creeping under our skin. Eavesdropping, manipulating our minds, and exploring our bodies. They are savages, beasts but some of them are companions and childhood friends. Some are dangerous, others even more dangerous. They live amongst us. Some of us call them Demons, vampires but some of them should never be called….There is one man. A mysterious silver-eyed stranger who keeps appearing in her dreams. Who is he and what does he want?

Nicklaus sat at the end of the table. To his right side, his family were sitting and to his left side the family who had saved him. They were dining and chatting happily. Nicklaus looked at each one of them and warmth filled his chest.Once in his life, he had been completely alone. He had no mother at all and no father who cared for him. His siblings were his main enemies and he had no friends. There was no one who knew what he was and no one had cared to know. Even he didn't know who he was. He had been confused, sad, lost and alone. He had given up on life. Until he met her. His wife.The woman who brought light in his dark world, the woman who brought happiness on his gloomy world. The woman who warmed his cold heart and comforted him when he was alone and sad and defended him when he was bullied. She took the darkness away and borough happiness and bliss in his life. Not only did she bring happiness, she gave him a priceless gift their daughter.Tiana. His joy and day light. His
When Tiana heard his footstep she looked up and put the letter away quickly. There were tears in her eyes that she tried to hide."Is your mother fine?" Nicklaus asked as he walked closer.Tiana nodded. "She is fine." She smiled giving him a comforting look. Nicklaus sat next to her on the bed. "When do you want to go and see her? Or do you want her to come here?” He asked hating to see her sad. They had planned to meet Tiana’s mother, but back then Tiana postponed it because of pregnancy and after giving birth raising a child took most of her time. Tiana mother was also queen mother and had a lot of thing to do back in Nephus. But the two would always write letter for each other.Tiana looked at Nicklaus, she has been planning to meet her mother but she had to postpone it. “Not any time soon, Briella is still young to travel.” She said then carefully she reached for Briella. Once Briella was in her arms a smile lit up her face."I can't believe she grew so fast. It feels like I gave
Six months later.The sun shone brightly in the blue sky and the warm seasonal breeze spread the scent of flowers in the air. But despite the beautiful weather and view, all Nicklaus could do was stare at his now six-month-old daughter in his arms. Nothing was more beautiful to him in this world.The last six months of his life had been a blessing. He was surrounded by people he cared for. His wife, his daughter, his mother even his father. The relationship between Nicklaus and his father had become better since that talk they had six months ago. Now Uziah was even living with them in the castle but sometime his parent would go back to their hidden nest. What more could Nicklaus wish for?Tiana was well and healthy, and an amazing mother. She was also a wise empress. Nicklaus was proud of his wife. Now being half demon, half witch, she became even stronger and emitted magnificence and confidence. Now he wasn't afraid to hurt her as before and they could go wide with their activities…
"Your Majesty. I need to clean the princess." The midwife said with a pleading look when Nicklaus didn't want to let go of his daughter.Tiana chuckled. "Okay Klaus give the baby to the midwife so she could clean her and then I can feed her.” She said and Nicklaus unwillingly handed Briella over to the midwife carefully.But he had forever to spend with these two precious people and he began by spending time with them today. He was still very emotional and all he wanted to do was hold both his daughter and wife in his arms. As they lay in their bed, Nicklaus leaned in and planted a kiss on Tiana’s forehead."Thank you for this beautiful gift. Love you so much wife." He said and then looked at their daughter who was sleeping between them."Love you too Klaus…" Was all Tiana said, as she was falling asleep as well. He could see the exhaustion on her face.Nicklaus kissed her on the forehead one more time before slowly getting out of bed. His mother had kept her distance, probably letti
And then the day came, after a few painful days, the pain hit Tiana like never before. She remembered telling the midwife to just take the baby out and make it all end and sometimes she really thought she would die. The pain was so much that she felt her mind go numb. Then she heard the cry of her child and the pain fled to the back of my head in a flash, so far back she didn't even know or care that she was in pain few seconds ago. The melodious cry of her baby was enough for her to forget all the pain she went through just seconds ago. All she wanted was to hold her child."You have given birth to a princess, Your Majesty." The midwife said sounding sympathetic. Everyone knew that Tiana always thought that her child was a boy while the emperor always wanted a girl and would always call it little princess and the couple would always end up quarrelling about the gender of their child. The midwife was just sympathetic because Tiana didn’t get a boy like she always wanted but a girl th
One night as Rita and Tiana spent time together but Rita seemed sad and absent. "What's wrong?" Tiana asked. But riata being Rita just shook her head. "Nothing.""Is it about your marriage? Did you and Kwan have a fight?""No, we didn’t have a fight, Kwan have been so sweet and understanding. It about my brother, I think he know about Kwan being a demon.” Rita said.And Tiana almost laughed out loud but pushed it down by coughing instead. She found it funny that this was the reason why rite was so distracted. Derek and Kwan had been together during the war and even if he didn’t know about Kwan’s true nature in the past, he would have learnt about it during the war in human land. so hearing Rita’s concern, Tiana found it cute but she could not blame her, the woman was not there during the war, and dint know what might have happened there so too her, she still thinks her brother who is the ruler of all werewolves doesn’t know about demons and that Kwan is one of them. So cute and innoce
Five-month later….Thing were in line, the affected kingdoms like Nephus and Zavion were already back in their feet. Human clan had Leo as their king with twelve other rulers of each state. And the same was for other clans too with Nicklaus and Tiana being the supreme leaders. Crystal city was back in its full glory under the leadership of Yael and Rex who were now married and Yael was expecting a child too. Everything was peaceful and harmonious and those who were not happy about unify of the land, were now happy about it after seeing and experiencing the benefit of it.On Tiana side, her pregnancy was now big and showy. Pregnancy was not easy as she thought. It may be a happy thing but it had its difficulties, it come with insecurities and body changes that first time may shock you and on top of that was fear, she realized that as her stomach grew. She became more and more afraid and worried, she was worried about all the things that could go wrong during labor. The stories she read
“You may live…”“Thank you so…” Rafael thanked Nicklaus cutting him from completing his word but was cut off by Nicklaus next words “but… you will show Leo all the hidden labs in this kingdom and other kingdoms. Don’t try to lie because I can read you mind. If you don’t want to die like your master… give us the name of all the hidden labs and tell us everything you know and you will live. You choice.” Nicklaus said leaving Rafael to Kwan who the handed him to Leo and his men. “He will give you names and places of all the hidden labs, destroy them and then you can see what to do with him.” Kwan told Leo before following Nicklaus.Nicklaus’ group didn’t lose much in the battle. The casualties they suffered in terms of deaths and injured were still in an acceptable range. And those who were injured and died were the vampires. The demons had no casualties on their side. Gabriel Abel Noah and Maria were dead and Rafael was imprisoned by Leo as they continued uncovering secret layouts of N
