Tiana had called on Xyla again as she wanted to make sure she would be able to fully control her. She had managed to call the same griffin with her intense concentration at once.Then they were up in the sky again, circling the immediate area. The next moment, everyone on the ground saw the griffin releasing tornado in the sky, sweeping through the desolate land."She's controlling it! The princess did it! This is amazing" Rex exclaimed, seeing that the griffin releasing tornado towards the forest to avoid hurting them who were gathered right below. Rex was amazed by what he saw her highness could now ride on griffin and even control them? What had he missed when he died?"Yes, I think the princess already learned how to control the griffin. when you were gone she came and saved me from the savage ogres… by that time I had lost one arm but now look…" Dalton said, not taking his eyes off her as he shows his right arm to Rex.Rex was amazed at what her highness had done so far, since he
Looking up the sky as she leaned her head back along the edge of a slab of the smooth stone surrounding the small lagoon, Tiana let out a long and deep sigh. She was starting to feel worried.What if she could not control the other griffins within the limited time that they had? What if it was only Xyla that she could manage to control? She really needed the cooperation and strength of all the griffin here if she wanted to successfully achieve her lofty goals.It was then that negative thoughts began to flood Tiana’s mind. She wanted all the griffins. She wanted to control all of them. Xyla alone was not enough. Was the power boost she got from the previous queen not enough?If she wanted to stand against an enemy like the Drektus queen, she must be able to control more than just one lone griffin – and such a small one at that. If possible, she was aiming for the lot of them, most especially Yalck – the ancient griffin itself. When she was able to do that, it was only then that she wo
Everyone cheered her up, but Tiana was becoming more and more agitated. There were only three griffins left and Tiana could not help but fear if these three will also be hard to control and she would fail again.The day was ending when she called for the next griffin. It was yet another female but she was the smallest among all the female she had called. "Malin," Tiana said, and she spent the rest of the day trying to control it.The men and Yael could see her struggling in her efforts. They had been giving each other looks for a while now. All of them had wanted to tell her that she must not push herself too much. But none of them could speak out as they could see how hard she was trying and how desperate she looked.They did not have the heart to interrupt her and tell her to rest. At the same time, they did not know their princess could be this incredibly persistent and stubborn. She truly reminded them of someone. Their prince.Tiana was biting her lower lip in frustration as she
As the group was finishing their dinner, Tiana spoke up. "Tomorrow," she started as she looked at everyone, "after I call for the last two griffins, I think we can prepare to leave this place."The two men fell silent for a moment but eventually they all nodded. They were all ready to leave now as well."Your wish is our command, Princess. We will abide with whatever your decision may be." Rex said and Tiana smiled slightly."Thank you." Tiana felt relieved. Before dinner, while she was taking her bath, she had thought that she can no longer stay here. Her plans before she found out the truth was to immediately return but they had taken days for her to train summoning and giving instructions to the griffin and learning some spells and herbs with Yael’s help. Apart from Nicklaus, Tiana was also worried about the possibility that the Drektus queen my try to conquer silver moon by manipulating Ezekiel and she didn’t want that.She wanted to make Ezekiel pay then take the kingdom for her
Dalton looked at Tiana. For some reason, the look in Dalton’s eyes made Tiana smile to herself. It was obvious to her that Dalton wanted her to just let Yael join them without the need to show off her skills. And Tiana knew it was not due to Dalton being afraid. It was just that he was extremely reluctant, and Tiana found him quite adorable at the moment. Even though his expression did not show anything at all, Tiana could tell from the extra stiff set of his shoulders and how he was standing so still where he was. "I believe this is for the best, too." Rex suddenly spoke up, though he was disappointed that he was not chosen. "It's best for us to know what she is capable of. That would be good for us to know when and how to aid and protect her once we're outside of the valley. So go ahead Dalton." After all, they all knew just how dangerous the next part of this journey they were going to embark on. They still have the princess to protect so having a powerless witch tagging along w
"Why are you not attacking?" Yael said, her eyes intense as she glared at Dalton. "If you're holding back because I'm a woman or because I have no magic, then quit it. That's the same as looking down on me."Dalton’s eyes twitched a little and then he sighed heavily. He looked up at Tiana and Rex then towards Yael again."I'm not looking down on you." He said and then his eyes turned golden yellow.Yael swallowed and her instincts made her magic threaten to come bursting out in self- defense. Thankfully, she was fully in control. She realized that it was the first time she saw Dalton turned their eyes golden yellow, and Yael could not help but have a flash back on the werewolves in the past."Get ready," Dalton warned, "I'm coming at you for real."“Take it easy on her Dalton!” Rex shouted earning a glare from Yael."Bring it on." She challenged. Her eyes fixed intensely on Dalton’s golden yellow eyes. And before she knew it, they were clashing against one another. He was strong but s
As they walked along the castle path, Tiana suddenly halted. She turned around for one last look of the grand view, committing it to mind and heart, before resolutely turning to the opposite way and walked on without turning back anymore. Tiana and her men – plus a new companion – finally left.When they arrived at the shore, Tiana was surprised that Yalck was still waiting there, crouching at the very same spot where they had left him so many days ago. Seeing the large majestic griffin, Tiana did not know why but she suddenly had the urge to run up to her and give her a hug.However, Tiana opted to approach her with measured steps and Yalck opened its large eagle eyes to look steadily at her. Then Tiana reached out her hand and touched her feathery neck. Her face softened and her eyes turned gentle even as she flashed her a slight smile."Why are you waiting here?" Tiana asked as she continued caressing the griffin. "You didn't even move from this spot like a good girl, and yet you d
The two werewolves immediately jumped down from Ruse back and spread out to investigate the entire area, checking if it safe to camp for the night, though they knew no werewolves would enter here due to fear of the monsters they still wanted to make sure it was safe from both monsters and Ezekiel’s men. While the men were sweeping the area for any threats, Tiana and Yael stayed on Ruse’s back.After a quick search of the entire area, the two werewolves then gathered again and Tiana and Yael finally climbed down from the griffin. “Is the area safe for the night?” Tiana asked and Dalton and Rex nodded.“Okay let’s camp here and rest for today.” Tiana informed then it was silent."What are we going to do next?" Rex broke the silence and Tiana looked at Ruse."We will camp here today till night fall then ride Ruse and head back to silver moon unnoticed." Tiana said and after the men agreed they set a camp as Tiana and Yael went to look for food. Tiana wanted them to rest here since she wa

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
