She is a snake.A vicious snake who could suck the soul out of a person with just one look.To talk to her was a sacrifice of their lives. But it was Kohl.The cogent Basilisk blood in Raya enabled her to glimpse into the soul of the person who opened his wounds up and was at the brink of death. She reads him like an open book, her eyes were closed. His life was so interesting, especially the climax."What do you see?" Kohl asks the woman, sitting in front of her on the floor. He leans against the hut's rough structure and sighs with a glass of warm milk in his hand."He's fine, as long as he doesn't scream his lungs out as soon as he wakes up.""Why would he do that?" Kohl asks innocently."I'm half vampire, Kohl. What do you think?""He's just a delta wolf who slipped and fell from the castle, Raya. What makes you think he would hold such hatred towards you?" Raya Lule smirks at his statement. She stands on her feet, walking towards him and stopping mid-distance."He's not what you
"Do you not have manners, dog? Do you bare teeth at the ones who saved you?" As the woman speaks, Lucien holds himself back. He suppresses his wolf to talk diligently to the woman. He sensed no threat from her.On the other hand, Kohl was staring straight into him for answers. He wanted to know why the man has been hiding the truth from him. The truth that Lucien was actually...King of Werewolves."I want you to answer my question first." Kohl speaks up, Lucien turning towards the Human."Master...I need to fight someone yo avenge my broken soul." He says. From the corner of his eye, he watches Raya walking into the shade when it stopped raining. She sits aside her old friend, Kohl stands up, walking towards his pupil."Whom do you have to truly avenge?""My people." He says."It's because of her that I'm thrown into this fate. I need to claim her severed head to gain trust in my people again, Master. She's betrayed us all, not just me. She took advantage of our bond, she exploited
"Fight a God? Who's the God here, Kohl!? Don't be delusional! She's just a Phoenix! She's like us, a creature of this planet! Don't compare her with someone omnipotent like... like a God!" At Lucien's desperate cries, Raya looks up at the man yelling his verdict on top of his lungs. She knew why he was yelling at his master. Because that was the only truth.And truth can be bitter."No..." Lucien sits back down, thudding against the poor wall structure. "Look, I've been very nice to a fool who's promised a fight to the strongest creature on earth. Heck! How could you be such an imbecile! And on top of that...a female Phoenix!? Do you not recognise the power difference a male and a female Phoenix have!?" "Are they differently powered with their genders!?" "Of course– argh! A female is far more powerful than a male. They are the few species on earth where the female population overpower the male. And coming to think of it...is she alone? Is she associated with another Phoenix? I am
It's been decided.After a lot of persuasion, Lucien rejoices the decision of his master finally complying with his plans. He, as he believes, wants to take down the power of the Phoenix and fight the King of Vampires to attain the peace that Laura failed achieve. He was certain that with his elaborative plan, he can do the two great tasks and rest for the remainder of his life.In more senses than one. Raya stays outside as the Human and the Werewolf cook themselves some meat. Kohl presents the healing man with the pieces of meat neatly arranged on cooked rice. Lucien smiles to himself, asking Kohl,"Suddenly, someone has become nice to me.""I figured it would be better if we stopped being assholes towards each other and work together for your...goal. An imbecile goal for an imbecile." Lucien chuckles delightfully. He could hear his master taunt him all day.As long as Kohl is willing to help him.The atmosphere was still gloomy, but brighter than before. The sun was attending its
Her eyes...They were like galaxies of hell. She breathed fire in his gut when they kissed. He should've known then. That fire engulfed him to no turning back. He was totally into her to notice her vicious intent before being consumed by the fire she kindled in his pit.It was of no use, the act of repenting. It was all gone.Taking a deep breath, Lucien allows himself to sink into the water and allow the blue reduce his own blue. He hoped that her fire would be extinguished today, in this stream as he reaches the bed of the stream quickly. It was slippery, as if suggesting him to fall into her again. But Lucien would not let it happen to him again.As he rose from the surface, he was a changed man.His promise to his masteer comes foremost than his extinguished love for his mate.If that was the case...why would he not reject her and move on from her?Even if his heart and mind allowed the 'moving on'...his wolf disagreed with him. Ever since the day of his marked betrayal from her,
"1203....1204....1205..." "You're enjoying his wreckage, aren't you?" Raya comes back after awhile. Kohl smirks, munching on a bunch if grapes he magically stole from the trio of visitors crossing along the road before the ridge. Raya comes back with her hands all bloody and stinking of the said liquid."You're quite a messy eater, aren't you?" Raya rolls her eyes, watching her red hands as she carelessly smudges the corner of her lips even more. Lucien smells the strong scent of the blood on her hands. He hasn't hunted for a long time, considering his rank.His wolf's name was Gizen, an unusual name for an unusual tempered wolf. His black, ferocious coat was something out of fiction. Shimmery and healthy as a crystal.[Let's keep his wolf's name as Gizen, even if I introduced the wolf's name before I'M NOT SURE IF IT HAPPENED TT] "Against you, I have a pretty good appetite.""It's a discipline to stay fit in my age, young lady." "Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say, geezer." "1378....13
He was asleep. Kohl puts a rough jute blanket on his sensitive upper body to cover him from the cold atmosphere. It shouldn't needed anytime close in the future, ever again. His skin has been very enduring till now. But just this once, Raya let's it happen, after knowing the rashes he's going to wake up with.She sees the old man's care in his actions. "Tell me," She begins,"When was the last time you took care of someone?" "A little boy...a few decades back. He was human too." Kohl answers her truthfully. The mules were pulling their cart after they've watched her house being destroyed by the villagers. She did not lie, she did not give home to the Human and the Werewolf. They were merely strangers in her long, almost immortal life.Her hut was burned down by a vampire of the village who served nothing but bad omen. He had a weird obsession with premature flesh of young girls. He enjoyed feasting on them every night.His obsession had started a few months back, where he also made
"So, where are we going now?" Lucien poses a question while the two slept under their hats. Raya's skin was shimmering under the sunlight. Lucien feels pity for the vampire, moving to the centre to block the sun rays from burning her leg up completely."Now that you've completely destroyed my cover village, I'm gonna have to go with my Plan B.""Your plan B? What's that?" Lucien leans forward, his hand under his chin as he sat like an inquisitive child. His eyes grew bright qith mischief."Korak town. It's 234 kilometers, south east. If your ass can navigate, I would like to catch up on some sleep.""Do vampires even sleep?" He asks her, further annoying her."No. But I do." Replying crankily, making Kohl stifle his laughter, Raya puts the hat back on her face.For some reason, Lucien sees Raya as an exception for the species of Vampires. She isn't that bad smelling for his nose and she wasn't a bitch as well. Except for a few times earlier. Raya also must be resistant to sunlight, th
Varca was brave enough to think he could stand up to Kohl and Lucien. He was confused when he was overpowered by the strongest male duo that ever walked on Earth. He stood up again, his body made a dent in a low hill after Kohl kicked him into it. His battle spirit was slowly fading, and he looked down at the giant hole in his chest. He was bleeding from his mouth and bleeding from his chest. His heart had gone missing. And when everything looked like a blissful win for the werewolf-man duo, Varca clicked his fingers, and an abnormal amount of smoke just spread through, all around the shore of Bepal. The ships were spreading it. They were crushing a bunch of neurotoxin which the vampires are immune to. They were a blend of...wolfsbane. Kohl realised his dirty plan when he saw the humans falling to their knees, sucked out to the last drop by vampires. He growled at Varca, charging at him with a stake of a broken roof in his hand. "ARGH!" Varca cried, coughing out blood. "You w
[2 days ago, South Bepal shore]The shore was quiet and the sea smelled great. The shore bred warmth from the coastline it touched, the south side was especially warm during afternoons. A fisherman's boy from the shoreline village was playing with his red male doll. It looked like the Fritz, twelve inches in height and almost too realistic like a baby. As he sunk the toy in the clear, wavy water I've the shore's receding wave, he felt the joy of drowning his doll. His intention was to make it swim on its own. However, there came the shore hitting wave again. But it was dyed like the color of hell.He noticed the red ink like fluid spread with the water. He didn’t realise. After all, he was just a kid. His he's turned to the other side slowly. Beyond his little boat anchored to safety was a hovering troop of red eyed monsters.He knew right away about their species. He yelled,"B-BLOODSUCKERS!!" Varca's vast fleet stationed around the coast. His giant ship's shadow grew on the s
Raya watched the young lady descend on the palace terrace softly. Her wings followed her mind and remained attached to her back. Raya smiled at the young lady who skipped towards her like an enthusiastic child. "How was the view from up there?" Asked Raya."It was awesome!" She answered simply. Eden embraced Raya's side as she asked the man to let her go, just for a while."I gotta talk to Laura about something. Give me a minute." Whispering to him, she places a kiss on his cheek when he nods his head. She leaves his embrace to fetch Laura, to talk to her."Um, hey. You got a minute for me? I know you're busy, but it's kind of important." Laura and Kathleen turned towards Raya who gently asked her. Kathleen pushed her chin towards Raya, looking at Laura as the Phoenix got the green signal."I'll be right back!" Said Laura to Tony who wanted to cling to her while the ceremony started."What do you wanna talk about?" Laura asked with a soft smile,"Um, before that, could you keep the c
Eden and Raya were sincerely missing out on everything good that was happening around the palace and the Siren Kingdom. They've deliberately avoided everyone after an hour of lovemaking.But, no matter how much they've washed each other and relieved from the scent of sex, Laura and Tony could sniff out everything within a second. Tony looked at Laura with a knowing gaze, his face all scrunched up in disgust while Laura tried not to laugh at him. They watched Eden come first, trying to hug Laura and Raya nonchalantly walk behind him. Their combination was lethal in Laura's eyes.One was a golden retriever puppy and the other was a great old sea serpent who was half as wise as Eden. She is an old soul after all, she knew nothing about the modern age and how invaluable having sex is considered in the recent times. "Um, you two smell funny." Tony said frankly, without thinking twice about the situation. Kathleen was right behind them as she checked out sea jewelry from a cute Siren maid
Days passed by.Raya could never have felt this peaceful amongst the most chaotic trio she's ever seen. They're always breaking something or the other. They're clumsy and childish.But all three separately were more mature and understanding that most ripe humans. At present, Raya watched Laura bring a baby siren close into her arms and whisper sweet nothings to the upset baby. It seems as though the baby had an indigestion problem, and as soon as Laura let a drop of her tear seep into the baby's smooth blue skin, it stopped crying almost instantly. Laura's wings furled inwards as she provided the needed warmth to the Siren baby."Magical, isn't it?" Kathleen said from behind Raya. The woman who was leaning against the huge door frame of the palace entrance stood straight in her presence. Out of respect. "Yes, indeed. She's a healer. She was born for this." Raya said in a soft voice in admiration. Her gaze turned towards the two boys who gave company to the rest of siren children pla
The door barged open as the sirens spilled inside. Raya flinched and looked behind herself."W-we heard someone falling to the floor, your highness! Is everything alright!? Are you alright?" Eden chuckled at the cute teenager sirens who barged in to 'check' on their deity. They find a single, non exclusive excuse to rush into the room, hoping to see their Sea Serpent diety just once. It looked like a terrible, annoying trick to Raya. Alas, she was too tired to even react to them."Nothing is wrong, you all. Have you ever heard of privacy?" Eden asked the teenagers amusingly. "What is that?"Raya stared at them with a blank expression. Were they pretending to be clueless or were they really unfamiliar with such terms?Eitherway, Eden limps towards them and closes the door behind himself."Do you want to rest beside me?" He was shy, scratching his head and shuffling his feet as he asked.'Not so cocky now, I see.' Raya thought in her mind. Without another word said, she crawls up int
Laura and Kathleen kept the sleeping man company. They sat beside him, Laura held his hand and prayed that his body would heal quickly. Even if she induced his system with her powers of healing, his body wouldn't be able to take the rapid change which would complicate his wellbeing even more.As said by many; time is the best healer of all wounds.However, that phrase never seemed to work on Laura for the past two years. Time changed nothing for her. Her emotions were the same as she had them two years back.Thinking about it made her sick, because all she could do was think about it. Her mind couldn't take any woven shit from her anymore, so she decides by herself to walk out of her thinking lane into a new one.A brighter one.Tony was kept company with the other sirens of his age. He was still a humanoid boy, thanks to Laura's transmatter powers that he was still a cute little seventeen year old boy.Eden had his eyes closed.For a brief while, he could feel the air shift around hi
Eden's attempt to warn the sirens was proving futile. He wasn't able to warn them that a snake like creature that brought him to the shore, swimming around the world for hours, was sinking to the bottom of the ocean.He couldn't express in words that he was an escapee, and the one who helped him reach the kingdom was from the other herd of enemies.Laura followed the troop of Sirens who began running towards the said shore. She had her gigantic wings take her towards the rocky shore. In a brief memory of how she had been crying over and over again over a person the night before, she couldn't believe her eyes when she saw the person's cousin in the scene.She gasped, making other sirens aware of the threat.Spears made of thick seashells were pointed towards him. Laura landed right behind him, and the male turned around with his wavy, wet and black hair flowing with his movements. "Laura! It's...it's a Basilisk. I'll tell you everything but she's sinking! She helped me travel across t
"A centaur? I thought they were sacred species. Aren't there like 200 of them left?""True. A centaur brings immense power and luck and somehow, you don't seem to know about Centaurs." "No wonder you're so lucky in escaping us all." Eden chuckled at Raya. "Of course. Our baby centaur is kind hearted too. And he eats nothing but carrots. And the horse that you saw me with at the cliff...that's Roy. He's my best buddy. I could speak to him about quite literally anything." Raya jumped her eyebrows at Eden's words."I can't believe werewolves at all. You guys are the worst examples of half human and half animal." Eden laughed heartily. The ice cream tub was finished by the time they finished gossiping as well. Raya was getting way too attached to this stranger. His presence was making her feel super comfortable, as in giving her peace and tranquility against all that happened before. "Well, I have something for you." Said Raya.She unfurled a trinket, something like a locket in model
