Defenders of the Crown CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED & ONE
Sia "BETTER?" SIA ASKED, sitting by the edge of the river. "Much better," Diana confirmed with a sigh, the cold water hitting her hot skin. "Join me?" Sia shook her head. "If I have to try to stop you from running to your mate, and also prevent other wolves from getting to you, I would prefer not to be wet. Besides, I am a fire elemental, we don't do too well with water." Diana sighed, sinking deeper into the water till only her head was out of the water. "You think they have given up on looking for us by now?" Sia asked. "No, I believe they should be on our tails by now," Diana responded, playing with the ripples around her. "You are the only one with a tail, Diana," Sia reminded, and Diana rolled her eyes. "Also, if you know they are right behind us, why then are we not getting as far away from here as possible?" "They should be on our tails– well, my tail and your behind–" Diana corrected, giving Sia another pointed look. "–but that doesn't mean they are." Sia frowned.

DianaSIA SHOT A fireball at the door, and before her eyes, the same fireball was sucked into the door."What the…" Sia muttered to herself, but Diana heard her clearly, and the look of shock on Sia's face was satisfactory in every way. "Now, can I go in?" Diana smirked. Ignoring her, Sia began firing fireball after fireball at the door which kept on absorbing each ball. Soon, she was holding the biggest fireball Diana had ever seen, and was ready to shoot at the door. Diana sighed. She could watch this all day, but right now, she did not have all day. She was beginning to burn up again. "Um, I really have to go in now. Perhaps you should consider giving up." "No, wait, just this one more," Sia protested and shot the ball which was once again—as expected—sucked in. The enormous fireball was followed by more huge fireballs. Till Sia groaned in frustration and put down her arms. Tired yourself out yet?" Diana questioned. Not because she was trying to mock Sia, but because she wa

DianaFINDING OUT SOMETHING new about a person she thought she knew, left Diana unsure of how to feel. After all, she hid from Julia, the truth about the Crown. Robin never really trusted Julia, and Rudolph was too in love with her to be able to tell something was off. Diana, on the other hand, was too excited about having another female in the group that she did not try too hard to understand who Julia truly was. All she knew about Julia's past, was the fact that she was exiled. Now, finding out that Julia had all along, clues that could possibly lead to the missing pages of the Witches' Circle, made Diana feel a little sad, and a lot stupid. "How did I not even suspect her? Even just a little bit. I mean, I knew she was exiled, I should have tried to find out what really happened," Diana said with a deep groan. Sia chuckled. "Trust me, the Julia I know would not have given you any reason to suspect her. Growing up, she was the best at the illusion spells. Hoax reality was her

Aiden ON THE OTHER side of the table, Aiden stood in front of a table with different torture instruments laid out on them. He was not planning on using all but one. He picked up the small knife in his hand. He stalked back to them, taking his time on each stride. "You know, it would only take one bite for me to find out everything you are hiding," Aiden informed them, causing their eyes to widen.Aiden smirked. "Oh, yes, I inherited my mother's ability, and no one but you three knows about that. And do you know why I told you?" He chuckled as he heard them gulp, but no one responded. He decided to respond to his own question anyway. "Well, it's because none of you are leaving this place alive. Isn't that wonderful? "You wanted to leave together, now you get to die together," Aiden cheered as he had just given them the best news ever. Lord Marcus fell to his knees, with his head bowed to Aiden's feet. "Please, Your Highness, you have no proof we betrayed you. Have mercy upon me
Defenders of the Crown CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED & FIVE
Diana IT WAS NIGHTTIME when they finally got to the Kingdom of the Witches.At that moment, a guard was leading them to a room so Diana could shift back, and once she was done, he would take them to the King's Castle where King Marse was already expecting them. 'Diana.'Knowing who the voice belonged to, Diana chose not to respond. 'I know you can hear me, Diana. I understand you are furious, but you do not have to talk, just listen.'I reached out to Selene but it was near impossible to get through to her. It seemed like an invisible wall was stopping me from reaching her. After so many tries, I finally got to her. 'They are cutting her out, Diana.''Cutting her out? What do you mean by that?' Diana questioned. 'They are taking away her immortality and making her reincarnate as a human.' Diana's eyes widened. 'Wait, what? But then can't do that! Why would they?' 'Remember at the evolution camp, when you commanded all those creatures-''What has that got to do with this, Luna?'

Diana'WAIT A MINUTE, since Selene is the Crown, would that not activating it as well, make her come out, too? That could be the end of me,' Diana said, muttering the last sentence.'Selene knew you would say that, and she was right. But so are you.' Diana frowned, leaning against the sink. She never expected this day to come so quickly. 'One thing is to have the thought in your head, but seeing it happen is a different thing. 'I have always known that Selene would one day take over my body, and now that it is going to happen, I do not know what to feel.' 'Selene asked me to tell you that the end might not be as you are expecting it to be'Diana, you should remember that the three of us are one. Human, Wolf, and goddess. We are one and the same; mind, body, and spirit.''How long does she have?' Diana asked with a sigh, completely brushing off what Luna said.'Currently, she is undergoing trial and she has barely two human days before she is sentenced,' Luna said, before disappear

DianaTHE FIRST THING Diana did when she got out of the bathroom was tell Sia everything Luna had told her. Diana found it easy to talk to the witch since both of them had gone through similar ordeals. Their lives were almost similar and they were both carrying a huge weight on their shoulders. However, what Diana did not tell Sia, was that activating the Crown would mean the end of her. She did not want to burden Sia with that thought. "Do you know King Marse personally?" Sia asked as they walked behind the guard, to King Marse's Castle. "Not really, I have only met him during the Supreme Leader's meetings, and some balls my father would host," Diana responded. "Wow, you must have had a fun childhood. I have always wanted to attend a Royal ball but my mother would never let me. "She wanted to keep me as far away from the public eye, as possible," Sia said, then chuckled. "In less than a month, I have defied every rule she made for me."Diana could understand the concept of rule

Aiden "THEY WILL BE bearing witness to their crimes themselves," Aiden said, walking up to sit on his throne. "Lord Marcus, do you confess to killing the late King and Queen?" The Minister of Justice asked as he took the stand. Lord Marcus looked up to Aiden whose countenance was calm but deadly. Aiden had warned him the previous night, to confess his crimes, or Aiden would make his death the most brutal accident in the history of deaths. But the death of his wife and child would be even worse. Lord Marcus looked back at the minister. "Yes, I plead guilty to all crimes." The whispers became even louder at his confession. People could not believe that the man who the King trusted the most, his close friend, was the same person who killed him."The council would like to know how you did it," another minister said on behalf of the rest. Then Lord Marcus went on to tell everyone how he killed the King and Queen in their chambers and made it look like it was done by rebels. He also

Diana DEEP IN HER thoughts, Diana did not realise that Sia had finished, and was now standing in front of her. "By the gods!" Diana exclaimed in astonishment as she took in the sight of her now imprinted friend. Unrecognisable words were tattooed all over the visible parts of her body except her face. "Does it look that bad?" Sia asked shyly. Diana quickly shook her head. "Of course, not! You look fierce, powerful and just as beautiful as you have always been." Sia looked at Diana with a timid smile on her face. "Thank you, Diana." "Do you feel any different? Does it hurt?" Diana asked. "It only tingled for some time and then nothing," Sia responded with a shrug. "And the book? The spells?" Diana asked again. "The book is gone now, and the spells…" Sia pointed to her head. "It's all in here." "That's perfect. Now, let us go back to the field and wait for Gary and Corbin. Gary expects that I have the Crown and you have the book. "But things have changed and those l

Diana "FOR THOSE OF you who have not met her, let me introduce you to Princess Diana Moonshine, daughter of the late King Dillon Moonshine. "She used to be the leader of the strategic team before she left. Now that she is back, she will continue to be the leader. "Stephan here will assist you, Diana," Aiden said, pointing to a man standing near Richard. Stephan stretched out his hand for a handshake, to which Diana took, immediately feeling his cold hands, and shook it. He held her hand for much longer than she would have liked. But she did not have to do anything because Aiden cleared his throat while glaring at Stephan. Diana pulled her hand back and turned to face Aiden. "What is going on, Your Highness?" "Less than an hour ago, I got a call from King Marse. His kingdom was hit by the Evolution. "He did not get enough time to call other kingdoms for backup before they were defeated. The same thing happened with King Fredrick. "We have lost the support of two kingdoms

Diana "I KNOW YOU may not believe me, so I want to show you something," Aiden said, then began taking off his shirt. "What are you doing?!" Diana asked in a high pitched voice. When she caught sight of his torso, Diana became tongue-tied. On his body was a beautifully drawn image of her Wolf form. Every little detail was perfect. The colour on her, and the golden markings, it was all there. She blurted out the first thing on her mind. "Wow, you actually did it. You got a tattoo." "Yes, and you are the only picture I want to see inked to my skin. The only one I want to see whenever I look in the mirror," Aiden responded. "It's beautiful," Diana complimented in awe, not taking her eyes off the tattoo for a moment. It felt unreal and impossible. Diana half expected to wake up at any moment and realised that all of this was a dream. Diana pulled her hands away from Aiden's view, closed her eyes, and discretely pinched herself. Opening her eyes, she half expected to wake u

Diana LATER THAT DAY, Diana was left alone with her friends. Sia had gone to meet Janessa and Ryan, while Aiden went to sort out matters concerning his kingdom. Rudolph filled Diana in about his situation with Lacey. Diana tried to understand what could be wrong with Lacey but came up with nothing after each thought. "Do you recall anything you did wrong before she became distant?" Diana asked. "No. I know for sure that I did not do anything wrong," Rudolph responded. "Then what could be the issue?" Diana mused. "Trust me, I have been wondering about that since we returned from the Fay kingdom. "Since she saw me hugging Janessa, she totally cut me out. She does not even want to see me," Rudolph said with a frustrated sigh. "Okay, calm down, let me talk to her. Maybe I can get through to her," Diana suggested. Rudolph instantly perked up with a smile. "That would be a lot of help. Thank you, Ana." "But first I have to talk to Aiden. I will go to Lacey afterwards," Diana

Sia ON ARRIVING AT the border of the vampire kingdom, Diana was recognised by the guards, and they helped Sia carry her to the castle. Without saying a word to Sia, Robin took Diana from the guards and began walking to a room. Not wanting to be apart from Diana in that state, Sia followed Robin and Rudolph. After Diana had been placed on a bed, Sia and Diana's friends sat around her, staring down at her in concern. Soon, a tall man strode into the room. He moved straight to Diana's side and her friends scooted over for him to sit beside her. Sia instantly recognised the King of vampires. "Your Highness," she greeted with a bow. "Explain," he said bluntly, as he grabbed Diana's small hand in his large ones. His eyes were cold and stormy but they held warmness for the female laying on the bed Sia watched the scene in confusion, wondering what the hell was going on. She knew Diana was close to vampires but she did not realise Diana was this close to them. "Yes, Sia, pleas

Diana IT WAS NOT certain to Diana how she found herself standing face to face with Selene. She felt the glass in front of her and indeed, she was now inside the glass which was a lot bigger than she thought. She turned to Selene. "Things get weirder and weirder at each step, but it is no longer surprising." As expected, Selene smiled. "Only you would be relaxed about standing inside a mirror." Diana shrugged. "Try having two other different personalities inside you, fighting zombies for four years, and being tortured by a crazy lunatic. "I guess strange things is my new normal. It no longer seems foreign to me anymore." "About Luna, it is actually my fault. You were right, wolves are not supposed to have a separate consciousness. "I tried to keep my sickness from you but I could not stop my mind from creating another consciousness in your head. "I wanted to take her out, but it would not work. So, when I saw how harmless she was, I decided to let her stay. "This just a

Diana ONCE AGAIN, DIANA was confused about what to do. Taking Selene's essence seemed wrong in many ways. Most of all, it would be an added responsibility that she was not sure if she could bear. If she thought keeping a relic was hard, how would keeping a god-like power feel? "No. I-I-I can not do it, Selene. Keeping the Crown is enough work as it is. "For crying out loud, I spent almost four years hiding from other creatures who wanted the Crown. I can not add this one, too, please try to understand," Diana said. "If that is your major concern, then you have nothing to worry about. No one would be able to sense the god-like powers in you unless you decide to let them. "The Crown is just an added benefit, you can choose to give it to someone else but you have to return it to its original form since I will no longer be in it. "Then you can live in peace as everyone will know you do not have it anymore," Selene told her but Diana was not convinced. "What about immortalit

Diana SHE FELT HERSELF falling in space, free-living and weightless. She kept on floating with her eyes closed in the dark, letting the breeze take her to wherever. Suddenly, her body stopped moving and it was no longer dark, as light beams tried to get past her closed eyes. Diana opened her eyes and then her feet finally touched the ground. After her eyes had adjusted to the light, Diana took in her surroundings. "What the heck?!" Diana blurted out. She was surprised to see that she was now standing in the middle of mirrors. The room had mirrors on the walls, the roof and the floor. Diana was a bit creeped out by numerous reflections of her, all staring at her. "I had imagined the afterlife to be less creepy," Diana muttered to herself, trying to look away from her reflections, only to stare at another each time she turned her face. "That is because you are not in the afterlife, Diana," she heard a voice say. "Who said that?!" Diana asked, looking around but finding no

Diana "OUCH!" DIANA HEARD Sia groan in pain. Diana pulled herself up —thankfully without a scratch— and walked over to Sia who was holding her right arm and moaning in pain. "Here, let me take a look at it," Diana requested, and Sia took off the hand covering the wound. Taking one glance at the wound, Diana looked back up to Sia with a blank yet incredulous look on her face. "It's just a little scratch," Diana deadpanned. Sia pouted while looking up at Diana. "But it hurts!" Diana raised both her eyebrows. "Really? You have got to be joking." "Small wounds hurt more," Sia defended. Sighing, Diana rubbed her forehead in frustration. "You know what, I'll just grab the book so we can get this Crown activated." Diana got the book and climbed down to the centre of the square where Sia now stood, thankfully over her tiny cut. "Are you sure you are ready for this?" Sia asked as Diana handed the book over to her. "No, I am not," Diana instantly replied. Sia threw her ha
