THE MERE MORTAL

Reginald glared at Danika occasionally. His instincts are not welcoming Danika in this vicinity. Beatrice had taken a huge risk, and if this backfires, everything would be on him.

Danika ate slowly. She wasn't rushed off course, but she was eating way too slowly. Beatrice was patient as she picked on her food. Reginald couldn't take it anymore.

"When are you going to attack?" Reginald asked while Beatrice tried to shut him up.

Danika did not respond. Reginald stared at Beatrice. "If you will release him, why don't you release him?"

"Who?"

"The inmate before her cell!" Reginald was losing it, but somehow he kept going and made sure he saw Danika back in jail.

Reginald was going all in, Danika was still in their presence, and Beatrice felt bad. "She tried to kill you!"

"And she didn't!" Beatrice yelled. "You heard the other prisoner, she would have killed me, but she decided not to!"

"I still don't sit well with this," Reginald made sure he told her where he stands.

    FOREST OF ARMAGEDDON"Avery! Avery!! You can't stay here!" She sprang up. It was a dream, but it felt so real. A towel fell off her face, she picked it up and turned right. Wahika was asleep, holding her staff tight. Avery scratched the back of her head, spanking it severally.The last time she checked, she was trying to tell Wahika about the letter she received in the prison. Avery felt uncomfortable with what she was wearing. A hot bath was all she needed at the moment. She sat down on the bed, touching her wet cloth that was caused by the heat. Leaving her position, she saw Hoots - he was sitting close to his fiancee who had dozed off too.Never intending to wake anyone up, she tiptoed her way to the door. Wahika's voice halted her footsteps. "Where are you heading?" She asked."Going home," Avery responded."Spend the night here.""I need a hot shower."Avery waited till she said something. Wahika stood up. "Follow me," Avery watched her take several steps before she took hers. Wa

    THE SWITCHEREverything is heated up in everyone's life. Nicholas is vexed about the release of Avery, Avery does not want to go with Wahika to the forest. Daniel and Avery's relationship is getting farther away and it is getting bleak like fresh poison. Jasmine knew he was dying and Groot helped him every day. Hoots' never left his fiance's side, he trusted Wahika that she would do everything possible to save his fiance. Nahigra had been happy with the alpha for releasing Avery, but Charles had a plan for her - she would be the bait to get the alpha in the long run. Devon was thinking about how he could get his hands on the alpha without directing it to him. Charles advised they should seek Danika's release at first - they would be reluctant, and that would give the alpha's side an edge to get their mission accomplished.Danika got out of the bureau without getting caught. She was glad nothing happened. She trusted Beatrice now, but with Reginald? It is like throwing stones in a glas

    THE INEVITABLEAvery's pov I was scared from head to toe, no lies. The forest scares me. If I hadn't followed a bunch of powerful people I wouldn't try it, but now I'm following a white witch there. To console my thoughts I remembered when Wahika saved Allison from the beast, then another thought came in, Wahika could save her because she was at the peak of her powers."Can I go home, I'll be here at the said time," I begged her, hoping she'd let me go. This would be the eighth time I'm begging her.It was today I knew the reason why we should knock twice before entering. The door is magical. I'm sure the seats would be magical too. Tiptoeing doesn't make noise, but she noticed. Being exhausted is never the word to use right now, but I will. "I'm exhausted!!" I yelled, Wahika stared at me, and she shook her head - that was when I knew she was determined to keep me until it was time to go.I sat back feeling hopeless. "Why do you think I am special?" I tried to bring up a conversation

    THE RED MOONBeatrice rose from the bed, her feet trod on the tiled floor of Reginald's apartment. She stood behind him. Beatrice was not familiar with foreplay or romance, she did not know what to do, but she trusted the woman's instinct in her. Beatrice slid her hands on his chest, bending down to place her head on his neck. "Reginald," she called.Reginald tilted his head a little bit. "Yes?""When was the last time you gave me a hug?" She asked, while her hand trailed down to where the seal was.She had not done this before, but she was desperate and needed to release Danika tonight."You asked me the same question last night. You're doing the same again," Reginald's deep voice strayed into her head."So stupid of me to use the same method," Beatrice didn't give up, rather she tried to change things to suit him.Last night was not successful, she didn't get caught but something transpired. He got a message from the king. Her hand was almost grabbing the seal when someone knocked o

    THE RED MOON IIDeath is inevitable - Love is lord over all - Fear is a consequence of mortality, but facing your fears can make you feel immortal either way; dead or alive.Avery knocked twice and entered. Hoots and his fiance had left, and Wahika dismissed them earlier after Avery left. "You're late," Wahika said, picking up her stick."I had to do a lot of things. You made my heart pound at intervals. I could remember that you told me we should go during the day, why are you going at night?" Avery asked."The letter said it would lead the way. I felt going during the day would reduce the risk of dying. But right now we are hooked." Wahika responded."What about now?" Avery glared at her as she put some books in others, carried the biggest book, and opened it."It is dangerous." She flipped the pages of the book. "Come check this out." Avery moved closer."What is that?" Avery asked. There was little space between Avery and Wahika."Today, the red moon is out." She continued flippin

    THE SWITCHER"Why did you shift back when I asked you to?" Beatrice asked. "You should be with your people. When you're in human form, they won't accept you." Beatrice told her what she should expect when she is taken as a stranger."Avery is in Arbedour right?" Danika asked."Yes," Beatrice answered."Then I will be friends with her. She is the only human in Arbedour. I will be her best friend. That's how I'll love to spend the rest of my years." Danika said. She made Beatrice emotional as they landed on dry land. They both made their way to where Avery, Wahika, and Nicholas were.It was a surprise to see either of the parties at a weird time and on uncommon ground. After the greetings came suspicion. But none of that matters as Danika stares at Nicholas. The last she saw Nicholas was when she left Arbedour before the marriage between Avery and Nicholas."Do you know me?" Nicholas asked.Danika turned back, staring at Beatrice. When she noticed Nicholas was talking to her, she beat h

    HORRORS OF THE NIGHTThis was a moment Wahika will love to repeat. She was listening to what she was saying, but in a flash, it seemed she misheard what Hoots' fiance had said. Hoots was not left behind, he inclined his ear, tilting his head to his fiance's mouth, hoping she'd say the same thing she said earlier. Danika was scared her cover might get blown up, her hand was enveloped in Hoots' fiance's tightened grip."You're causing heat. Remove your head." Hoots' fiance said.Immediately, hoots removed his head to see if his fiance was awake. He was glad his fiance was awake, hale and hearty. To clarify their thoughts. Wahika glared at her."When you held her hand, what was it you said?" Wahika asked."When?" Hoots' fiance slightly tilted her head to look at Wahika."After you held her hand, you said some words. Can you still remember?" Wahika asked."No, I can't," she replied.Danika sighed, "what's wrong with her in the first place?" She asked."It is a very long story. But, who ar

    HAPPY OR SAD?Scared; An understatement of how Danika is feeling right now. Hoots had managed to curb part of the fear, but Hoots was no match for the multitudes of people carrying sticks with the fire burning red. The guards told them all to leave her alone, at first they were reluctant, but as time went on they all left."You need to leave here," Hoots held her hand. "Maybe you should go with Wahika to the hall." Hoots suggested.Danika glared at him. "They will have my head. Have you forgotten how the alpha is?" Danika asked, she had forgotten that she is Daisy and not Danika."You know the alpha from somewhere?" Hoots asked. Danika felt speechless, is she caught? "Only those who know the alpha so well can find out about this." Hoots clarified his thoughts.Danika just glared at him. "I'm a good guesser. With the way I look at you, you'd be a hunter." Danika said."Close enough, I'm a butler." Hoots replied."Ooh, but it was close,""Yeah, it was." Silence overtook them before Hoot

    EPILOGUE --- AGAIN AND AGAINIt was a whole battle against a male confessor and his clan. The nightcrawlers came together to join forces with all the confessors to eradicate the male confessor once and for all. They all knew, that killing the male confessor is like catching lightning - His armies are might, large and filled with humans, confessors, Lycans, werewolves, and nightcrawlers.Only a few, a very little few are not under his command. They are all bent to his command and are willing to sacrifice themselves for the male confessor. With his mother forcefully beside him, ruling multiple large kingdoms.When he was only but twenty, Dylan decided to kill him, but he was caught. The male confessor commanded that each part of his fingers should be removed every hour, then he would finally be killed when the ten fingers and toes are gone.Dylan removed the leather gloves, revealing his lost fingers. "Damn," Nikki whispered under her breath."I had the power to outrun his army because

    THE LITTLE BOY The nightcrawlers surrounded the eldest of the nightcrawlers inside their cave. They waited for him to speak up because they are all aware that he would have known about what is going on currently in the forest and with the confessors. "You all expect me to say something about what is going on currently in the confessor's city?" The nightcrawler asked. They all shook their heads and went their way. Deep down they were all scared. What really happened during those times? The nightcrawler sighed and glared at one who didn't want to leave. "What are you waiting for young one?" He didn't speak, yet he continued staring at the nightcrawler. He sniffed the air and at once the old nightcrawler knew something was disturbing him. "Talk young one. I won't sacrifice you." He assured. "The baby ---" "I know. I'm also thinking about what to do here. The baby must not live." "The baby is hours old now. Nothing can kill him as we speak. What about that sword, Elder Dylan?" It ha

    HE IS REBORN."We will regret this. It is not about the question if we would. We didn't - No - You should have listened when I said we should go forward and search for her." Theresa, one of the midwives - also one of the greatest confessors that ever lived lamented.She sat down on the chair as she entered the room and others followed behind. "I know it is risky." The eldest of the midwives said and continued. "But, we all know that it is just written in the books and we have not seen for ourselves what great calamity would befall us. Maybe the people who came together to write this book see how powerful he is and would not want anyone to wield that kind of power again. Thus, tagging him bad from birth.""I would not say otherwise, but it is written for a reason. If it was never a threat to us all, I don't think they would have agreed to write the book.""Then they should have explained the consequences of leaving that child alive. No stories, only warnings. And if it had happened bef

    THE BIRTH SYNDROMEIt feels a lot weird when you know you have a super power inside of you. Humans and supernatural beings bend to your will, and there is absolutely nothing they can do about it. It is incredible, but it comes with a disadvantage."Erhmm, Nicholas, can you help me with the cup of water on the table please?" Avery asked."I'm very busy currently, there are a lot of letters I need to write back to Blessingstoke and —" a stolen glare toward Avery kept him mute halfway. "Don't you dare use that on me, Avery." Nicholas stood slowly.Avery laughed and kept on laughing. "I'm not using it on you. See my baby bump, I don't want to move right now." She said amidst laughing.Avery is eight months pregnant. The midwives told her to get into care immediately, but she was adamant. When anyone tries to force her to leave for the care room, she would try to use her powers on them. Thus, they all backed off at one point in time.They heard a knock on the door. Nicholas was holding the

    WHO KNOWS?A wasted life can never be returned. The consequences lie in the depth of shadows. He made a lot of mistakes, and it haunts him to this day. But, who will save him from his trespasses?It has been three months and everywhere has been peaceful both in Arbedour and Blessingstoke. The visit to Blessingstoke did wonders for the citizens of both cities, but never for their rulers. Charles followed the advice of Elias and he kept poisoning the mind of the king Beatrice kept advising the king to visit Arbedour and make peace with the alpha.In the middle of the second month, words went out about the king of Blessingstoke visiting Arbedour, but Charles got his way around it and it was delayed.FOUR MONTHS LATER"You said you won't listen to me?" Charles' voice sounded cold toward the king."What do you mean? I'm the king and my decision is final. I'm going to Arbedour to sign a peace treaty. Everything needs to stop now. For the future generation, we need to stop the war." The king

    BETRAYAL AND LOYALTY"We are home!" Philippa, a young lady about Avery's height and age yelled as she entered the castle. Beatrice wouldn't believe her eyes - she shouldn't be back now - oh, she missed Avery."Philippa?" Beatrice called out her daughter. They embraced each other as tightly as they could."Mother." She smiled, closing her eyes to feel the moment she had craved for.There was an elderly woman beside Philippa. A few months ago, she was forced to follow Philippa to an unknown town And they spent most of the year there. "Mrs Stewart, welcome back." Beatrice greeted her.Amazed as she should be. "Is this the king's sister?" She asked."Yes, I am," Beatrice replied with a grin."The real you wouldn't have greeted me. It is weird." She said what was on her mind and didn't keep anything to herself."People change." Reginald walked majestically toward Mrs Stewart and gave her a warm hug."Reginald." She called him."I have missed how you call my name." Reginald smiled. "Avery w

    THE EVIDENCE"Should we ask her about it?" Nicholas bent toward Avery. Avery glared at Beatrice."No, don't. Let's wait till after the wine and dine. Don't spoil the fun!" Avery yelled beneath her voice."Why did you have to yell?" Nicholas scowled."I didn't. I just have to maintain a voice you can hear with the high pitch noise in this tavern.""No one can hold his liquor better than me." A man with a gold beard and a loud voice bluffed after finishing a bowl of liquor."Did he really finish that?" Nicholas asked Avery."We are both watching Nicholas. Don't ask me questions like that. I'm still amazed." Avery glared at the dwarf."Let me prove it to you." Danika's solemn voice filled the room. Her actions brought more evidence to Nicholas.The eldest prince of the moonstone clan was the strongest liquor drinker in the whole of Arbedour until Danika challenged him and she won. Maybe that sums up the reason Elias hated Danika up till now."She behaves exactly like Danika." Nicholas la

    A VISIT TO HELL"Who is next!?" Young Danika screamed from the arena. Nicholas was proud of his best friend who hasn't turned but defeated those that have with ease. No one like her because of this and they are looking for a person that can shut her mouth - she hasn't stopped yelling and no one was cheering - Nicholas would have, but as the son of the alpha, he is expected not to take sides."I said who is next!!?" Danika bluffed until a huge man came on stage.This was not supposed to be so. He shouldn't be there at the moment. He was not expected to fight at all, but people wanted her to lose. Nicholas complained to Devon, but he didn't listen."Father, this is murderer. She hasn't shifted yet and she will fight with Kakuna? Even I can't take him on without getting serious injuries." Nicholas complained."No, this would be total fun. Don't you believe in your best friend?" He replied with a grin. Maybe this day was the day he stopped calling Devon, 'father'.ANNOUNCER: THERE IS THE

Nicholas was glued to Reginald throughout after the king dismissed them from his presence and Avery stayed with Danika and Beatrice. The men sat with the butcher who was almost done with the kill and talked about sports and the following day which was hunting.Nicholas was lost in their conversation about sports, but it is entirely different from what he knew back at home. Reginald showed the scar he got from racing on a wild horse and the butcher joked about the fact that he is always butchering or arranging the meat into a sack. Tables turned and it was Nicholas' turn."What about you?" Reginald tilted his head sideway. "Have you gotten any injury or scars?" He asked before Nicholas could reply. "I know you guys heal or you don't?""Too many questions." Nicholas scoffed. "Well, I have a scar, but it is a long story. It is from the sports, but not actually from playin
