2030He didn't know what she'd seen exactly. She might've seen them holding hands, she might've seen them embracing. In a worst case scenario, she might have actually watched him kiss Hazel twice. Since, he didn't know exactly what she'd seen, Yuka decided to play it cool by saying,
"So? What if you saw us at the burial grounds?""I heard that you were mourning your mother's death. The red blood must be close enough to you for you to be able to bring her with you, to your mother's grave" Anya said and Yuka stared at her with a blank look on his face.
"I don't see the need to talk to you about any of this" he said and started to walk away again. Her next statement stopped him.
"If the king knows how close you have been with the red blood, you know that there are going to be grave consequences. Now, we don't want that,

Jotham, Silveran Capital2030 Driving her fists into the punching bag in the training court did nothing to ease the bitterness in Hazel's heart. She felt so angry and betrayed. Deep down, she knew she didn't have the right to be mad at Yuka for kissing someone else because they weren't even in a relationship. She exhaled slowly, sweat dripping down the sides of her face. Frustrated, she let out an angry yell and began to punch the punching bag fiercely."What the heck, Hazel? Take it easy" Caden said as he gripped the punching bag. He stood opposite Hazel who was glaring daggers at him, her chest heaving."Why are you so angry?" He asked and she turned away from him, picking up a towel. "Won't you say anything?" He asked, moving away from the punching bag. "As a matter of fact, I don't want to talk to you or anyone, right now" she sta

Jotham, Silveran Capital2030 Hazel couldn't believe what she'd just heard. The numbness that swept over her was unexpected. In fact, she stared at Yuka, stunned to silence. The beautiful man in front of her was engaged to another woman. Hazel had never hated the word 'fiancee' so much, until this moment. "I'm sorry, Hazel. This just isn't something that can be helped" Yuka said, gazing at Hazel who stared at him with wide brown eyes. "She's your fiancee?" She breathed and Yuka sighed, running his fingers through his hair. "Yes" "So, this is it? This is where it all ends?" She said, her voice cold. Yuka felt his heart sink. "Hazel..." "You can leave now," Hazel stated calmly. Her expression was nothing short of schooled. Silently, he walked right through the door, his heart hurting. He felt absolutely terrible.

Jotham, Silveran Capital2030 "Look me in the eyes, Hazel" Yuka breathed and she stiffened. "Look me in the eyes and tell me you don't hate me. Tell me how you really feel about me," he said and she squeezed her eyes shut, her heart aching.Hazel gazed into Yuka's eyes. She didn't have to search his eyes. The pain in them was clearly visible."We can't be together, Yuka. I get it. I'm trying to get over whatever it is that I felt for you. So, please don't ruin it. I know I shouldn't be here, but I came here because I craved for the comfort this garden has always given me. At the moment, I don't hate you. I don't think I can ever hate you, Yuka" She said and reached out to hold his hand."You have to stop beating yourself up about this. It won't change anything" she breathed. She gave his hand a gentle squeeze. Then, she walked aw

Jotham, Silveran Capital.2030. Feeling like a deflated balloon, Yuka resumed his position by the pool. Recently, every day of his life seemed to serve as a horrible reminder of the inevitable chaos that could break out if he ended up marrying Anya and ascending the throne of the Silverans. His heart began to ache at the mere thought of it. He suddenly felt very dizzy, it startled him. Just as quickly as it came, it vanished. He blew out a breath, wondering what had just happened to him. "Are you alright?" He stiffened at the sound of Hazel's voice. He turned around and there she was, looking as beautiful as always. "I'm sorry, I didn't want to disturb you, but..." He cut her off. "It's not a disturbance if I'm okay with it" he told her. She nodded in understanding and started to approach him. When she got to his side, she sat down beside him. "I guess you heard everything," he sighed and she lowered her gaze. "I also know that you're smart enough to have figured it out," he ad

Lizquanqou stood by the half opened window of her bedroom, gazing at the weeping sky. She was wearing a black dress, and on her head was a polka dotted white and grey scarf. Beside her stood a woman with red hair and red eyes. She was wearing a pair of black leather pants, a black T-shirt and a black leather jacket. She also had a black scarf on her head. She gazed at the darkening sky with a look of melancholy on her face."Do you know where this is coming from, Yda?"

Jotham, Silveran Capital2030 "I can't believe she's dead. She confronted me not too long ago. How is she dead right now? What is going on?" Hazel said, a worried look on her face. Across the room where she was standing with Yuka, Lhyle and Kai, lay the corpse of princess Tanya. She was wearing a white dress, her black hair was let loose and there was no makeup on her pale face. She looked like she was merely asleep, but every other person in the room knew that she was no longer breathing. "Can someone please tell me what's happening here?" Hazel asked the men who were with her. They all looked sullen and this only made her more concerned. "We'll explain it all later. But, for now, let's hope that this isn't her ninth death. If it isn't, it means she'll regain consciousness in a few weeks," Kai stated. "You mean, come back to life," Hazel said an

Jotham, Silveran Capital2030 Yuka watched Kyan and Hazel from his position on the stone bench in the east wing of the castle. They were both seated on the ground in a lotus position. Their eyes were closed even as they held hands. He could see the energy building up around the both of them. It was indeed very fascinating to watch."Amazing, isn't she?" Lhyle commented from his position behind the second prince. "She really is" Yuka breathed, his gaze unwavering."Alright, you can open your eyes now" Kyan said and Hazel opened her eyes, slowly. Her eyes were no longer brown. They were multicolored and they glowed brilliantly."You are the daughter of Omari. One of your parents must have come from the lineage of Omari. Never in the history of the Omari has a male been chosen to manifest the powers of the Omari.

Hazel: Queen Of The Half Bloods Epilogue
HAZEL Taking a deep breath, I knocked on the door of my husband's study. I was nervous. How well was he going to accept what I was about to tell him? I froze when I remembered that today was supposed to be our first anniversary. It wouldn't make sense for me to tell him now. Earlier, I had a meeting with the wives of the generals and that meeting had taken nearly the whole day."Your highness?" I turned to look at Gwon, my new bodyguard. "Yes?" "His Majesty has requested for your presence. He is in the east wing garden." Gwon escorted me to the garden where Yuka had prepared a romantic setting. The beauty of the sunset was in full display as well. Yuka rose to his feet and made me sit in front of him. "How was your day?" I asked as we ate. "It was quite long" he responded. True, he was busier than ever these past few days. "How about you?" He asked me. "I had a long meeting with the wives of the generals. It went well" I told him. He nodded in understanding. "I'm sorry I for
Hazel: Queen Of The Half Bloods Happily Ever After
"Marry me, Hazel" Those words made Hazel's heart skip. This was it. She would finally become Yuka's. As soon as she parted her lips to give him a response, the door was pushed open. Nazu and Caden walked in. "Hazel, are you alright?" Caden asked, a worried look on his face. "I'm fine. It's all over." A smile tugged at his lips. "You truly have the spirit of a fighting queen, Hazel. You should marry my brother already" he said and she laughed. "He was just asking me to marry him" she said and his eyes widened. His gaze rested on Yuka who was glaring at him. "Oh...sorry. I ruined the moment, didn't I?" Caden mumbled. Hazel turned back to face Yuka. "Yes, I will marry you. Isn't it obvious?" She said, giving him a chaste kiss on his lips. Yuka wrapped an arm around her waist."Don't tease me if you aren't ready for the consequences" he whispered in her ear and she smirked. "My apologies, my dear."She sounded smug but Yuka didn't mind. "Hazel, can we...talk?" Nazu asked. "Sure
Hazel: Queen Of The Half Bloods Battle Cry
Jotham, Silveran Capital. Hazel blinked, taking in the sight of the garden she found herself in, alongside the others. With three main black bloods in the group, they had shared themselves and teleported all at once. "Are you alright?" Liv asked General Barron who looked a little winded. "I'm fine. I have never experienced this before. I just need to catch my breath," he said.Behind him, the Spiers triplets were doubled over, hands planted on their thighs. They were winded as well. They had insisted on taking part in the fight.Violet, Kai and Lhyle stood side by side. Rhen, Charlotte and Alyvonne were in the same group. While Hazel, Yuka and Kyan were in a group of their own. "So, this is Silvera's palace?" Shade asked. Hazel nodded in response. "It looks pretty huge" Trey commented, unsheathing his sword. "We are in a real war for the first time in our lives. This is crazy" Carl stated. "You can back out if you want to. You don't have to do this" Liv said. "Don't say that.

Silvera's capital. "I have made my decision concerning your wedding with Anya" Clarice said to her son. She was sitting in the throne room and Caden was standing in front of her, his head lowered. "What decision have your made?" Caden questioned, his shoulders stiff with tension. "Your wedding will be postponed" she said and he looked up quickly, his puzzled gaze meeting her blank ones. It was unlike her to do something like that. Within the past weeks, she had been reminding him of the fact that he was going to get married soon. "Postponed? Why is that?" He asked. She shrugged. "Just because."He frowned. "Why now?" She rose to her feet and walked towards the double doors that led to the South wing garden. "A major event is going to happen soon. I shouldn't count my chickens before they hatch" she commented. Caden's frown deepened. He wondered what she was up to. Whatever it was couldn't be good. "I heard about the troops you sent to Anslem. Isn't that too much? Haz
Hazel: Queen Of The Half Bloods In The Wind
No one moved. All eyes watched the queen as she walked towards the huge portal that had opened suddenly. Anya bit her lower lip, tensed. This was not the first time she was seeing a portal that opened out of nowhere. But, this was ten times more horrifying than the ones she had previously encountered. And this one didn't look like it was going to vanish anytime soon.Clarice stopped in front of the looming portal and held out a hand towards it. A golden pearl which was the size of a base ball appeared on her palm, it's light shimmering like the rays of the sun. It was almost blinding. Most of the guests had looked away as a result of the intensity of it's brightness. Many other who were curious, continued to watch. "Don't be rude. This is not part of the deal. The time has not come. Accept this token of mine" she said and flicked it into the portal which shriveled up and vanished from sight. Clarice turned to face the guests, a cold smile on her face. "I apologise for the
Hazel: Queen Of The Half Bloods A Gaping Hole
Quadam, Galactica. Hazel stared at her lover's pale face, her eyes brimming with tears. He was in a lot of pain. She could tell by how much his brows were furrowed. Liz and Yuka's mother sat by his bedside, their melancholic gazes fixed on him. 'He's dying' Liz's heart wrenching words were still fresh in Hazel's memory. She knew it wasn't the end. However, the thought of him dying made her heart ache. If he wasn't in so much pain, her grief would have been less heavy. "Seeing that look on your face is equally heartbreaking, love" Hazel forced out a smile at the sound of Yuka's strained voice. She had been so lost in thought that she had missed the moment he had opened his eyes and gazed at her. "You don't have to say anything, you know. You are already in a lot of pain as it is" Hazel's voice trembled and her eyes watered. Yuka opened his eyes again and squeezed her hand weakly. "It's not over, you know. You don't have to look so glum" "I know...but... I can't help it" she
Hazel: Queen Of The Half Bloods The Return Pt.2
Quadam, Galactican capital. "I don't understand. How is this possible?" Yuka croaked and the red haired woman began to walk towards his bedside. She dropped down to her knees, the tears now making their way down her cheeks. "Forgive me, Yuka. Forgive me for being late" she said and Yuka curled up into a ball, his back to her. He clutched at his chest as pain ripped through him. Childhood memories slithered their way into his mind. He thought of how miserable he'd been, as a child. He thought of the number of times he was accused of murdering his mother. He thought of the nightmares and the trauma. He thought of his loneliness and the fact that he'd been forced to grow up too quickly. It was all because his mother had left him alone right after he was born. How was he supposed to process the fact that she was still alive and had left him to survive on his own?The pain in his heart swelled to the point where he was gasping for air. His chest felt like it was being compressed and no ma
Hazel: Queen Of The Half Bloods The Return
The knock on the door of Caden's chamber startled him into consciousness. After Nazu had left, he'd fallen into a deep sleep, due to his exhaustion and pain. He didn't want to get out of bed, so he ignored the pounding on the door. When he still didn't give any response, the pounding intensified. "I know you're in there, Caden! Open the damn door!" Anya yelled. "Go away, Anya" Caden said, annoyed by Anya who continued to knock on the door. "I swear I just want to tell you something important. You have to hear me out, please!" She yelled. Letting out a sigh, he got out of bed, gritting his teeth against the pain. He slipped on a robe and started to limp towards the door, his brows furrowed. When he opened the door, Anya's eyes widened. "You don't look so good" she said and he rolled his eyes. "You're the one who called me out. What do you want from me?" He said and she lowered her gaze, a worried look on her face. "You might not believe what I'm about to say" she said. "Get on
Hazel: Queen Of The Half Bloods Convergence
Hazel remained by Yuka's side, her gaze resting on him. Once in a while, she found herself stroking his hair and whispering into his ear, assuring him that he would be fine. He was still unconscious but his fever had gone down by a few degrees. It was fortunate that Lhyle and Violet had returned right on time. Violet was a blushing mess and Lhyle had a subtle smile on his face. They had returned with both food and medical supplies. Kai ended up administering some fluids to Yuka through IVs. "I didn't know silverans used IVs too. I thought it's reserved for red bloods" Charlotte said. "Everyone can fall sick, you know. It just differs when it comes to the disease causing organisms" Kai responded. "His color is returning, that's good" Violet commented. Hazel sighed with relief and took hold of his hand, giving it a gentle squeeze. "He's going to be okay" she breathed and Lhyle nodded. As if on cue, Yuka stirred. Everyone rushed to his side. There were all relieved to know that he wa
