Chapter 22
Rachel mind started wavering and her mind clicked at the words once her mother spoke few days ago of the possibilities of lifting the curse.
Her eyes widened and a smug look was spread across her face with a victorious grin. She managed to hide her expressions seen by others.
“Mom, I’m sorry to disturb you. I remembered you once saying, the possibilities to lift the curse” she said and Crysta looked at her questioningly.
“What now Rachel? We have already lifted the curse” Eric said with disinterested look.
“Umm.. mom said once that the curse could be lifted with the blood of the one who casted the spell that is, that evil witch’s blood” she said and everyone looked at her in puzzle.
“What if she is the evil witch disguised herself?” she asked and everyone shook their head in annoyance.
“Rachel I get it, though you are not with any magical powers and couldn’t identify people, you could use your
Chapter 23 As he reached the room, he knocked on it and the door opened. The king entered the room and found all the broken things. He raised his eyebrows at Eric and the Prince gulped his saliva and bowed his head down embarrassedly. The king walked carefully towards the balcony and stood there seeing at the view of his kingdom with his hands clasped behind. “Yes Eric, what do you want to talk?” he asked after waiting several minutes for his son to talk. “Dad.. umm.. I don’t know how to..“ “Eric, I know what is bothering you, we are yet to confirm whether Lily is that evil witch’s daughter. But if it confirms, I guess you very well know what we will do. Hope and pray that she is not the witch’s daughter” the king spoke and Eric’s eyes lost its glamour and it looked like the cloud that is about to rain. “I know dad, but why my powers are not back. If she was the daughter of witch and if it was a trap then even mom’s powers should be lost right? But if it’s not the case then...
Chapter 24 The eagle looked at her sharply with its head tilting from left to right and right to left. And it slowly walked near her. “Adina, my dear. Are you afraid of me? Why would I hurt my special child?” the eagle spoke and it’s sound was sharp and magnificent. Adina lifted her head and looked at the eagle amidst her teary eyes. She blinked her eyes, immediately wiped her eyes. “Did you just talk? Did you just talk with me” she asked in childish tone with surprised face and the eagle chuckled to that. “Yes, my child, I’m the supreme being. I created you, I gave you my strength and some of my powers, since I saw you are strong. But.. Umm.. Did I make a mistake, you don’t seem to be strong but weak” the eagle said in a teasing voice and Adina quickly shook her head. “No, no. I’m the strongest and I’m not weak. I even defeat my brother every time when we fight. Ummm… Are you really the supreme being? “
Chapter 25 Crysta with her narrowed eyes looked at the Rachel’s back till she disappeared from her sight, then she turned towards the door and opened it to find Lily sitting on the bed and looking around the place as if wondering where she is. Crysta closed the door and walked near her, hearing the footsteps Lily raised her head and saw the person. Her eyebrows knit at first and her eyes widened realising and identifying the person. Her eyes shed tears and she arose from the bed ran towards the person in full speed and hugged her tightly. Crysta froze on her tracks, she thought Lily was scared remembering how she fainted and she raised her hands to pat her back to comfort her, but her hands froze in the air hearing what Lily said. “Mommm” saying Lily cried harder and tightly hugged her. “I missed you mom, how have you been? I thought you will also die after dad” she said crying and Crysta pulled her apart and looked in
Chapter 26 Somewhere in the middle of forest, a bunch of girls were chained and walked further in. Every girl was crying their eyes out because of the scary figure in the front and at the back of them that was guiding. The figures were hooded in black with no face was seen but left with a black smoke alone. If any of them try to escape they are met by a scary figure covered in blood and was dragged inside the ground split opened. The others don’t know what happened to those who disappeared into the ground and were scared to make any escape moves. Soon everyone was dragged near an abandoned cave. From there they heard voice of a woman asking them to get inside the cave, they all looked at each other and entered inside the cave since they weren’t given any choice. They were brought deep inside the cave, and there a woman was sitting on a chair made of thorns and dry branches of trees. She smiled at them, and waved her han
Chapter 27 While they were totally lost themselves in sucking each other’s lips, a hand suddenly pulled them apart and a hard slap landed on Lily’s face. “Rachel...” Eric yelled recovering from his senses and saw who hurt Lily. “Yes, that’s my name, Rachel. remember me? should I remind you who I am? I’m the daughter of royal sorcerer Crysta and most importantly, your soulmate” she yelled back at him and Lily holding her cheek with embarrassment and a guilt looked at the person before her. Eric was outraged and grabbed Rachel’s hand and dragged her out of the place without looking at Lily who had a guilt look. Rachel struggled in his tight hold and kept trying to free herself. She was dragged directly towards his room. He opened the door and pushed her on the couch, she fell down and before she could compose herself, immediately her neck was grabbed by him. “You want to be punished, don’t you? How dare you lay yo
Chapter 28 The king and the queen sat on the sofa inside their bedroom waiting for Crysta, the bedroom door knocked loudly and the king shouted ‘come in’. Soon as the King permitted, Crysta entered the room and bowed before the King and queen. The queen gestured at the single seater sofa and Crysta sat on that. “Your majesty, I was informed you needed me for something.” “Yes Crysta, we called you for a reason” the king informed making Crysta to have a questioning look on her face. “So, Crysta, it’s almost a week. Did you find anything about Lily?” Queen asked Crysta and she hesitated and was guilty of not able to tell them truly. Seeing her hesitate, the king and the queen frowned. Crysta never once delayed in her duty but seeing her expressions they can clearly see she is messed up. “What happened Crysta? Why are you keeping quiet? Is everything okay?” the king asked and Crysta nervously nodded her head
Chapter 29 “Were you able to find what it was?” Eric asked and the guard nodded his head and pointed the room little far away. “Your majesty, we found two men lying unconscious near that lake and we put them inside that room.” As he finished saying that, the King and the Prince walked towards the room, three warriors were on the guard of that room. “Open the door, let’s see who had the guts to enter our kingdom without our knowledge “ the king spoke and the warriors bowed their head and opened the door. The king entered first, with the prince and the guards tailing him. As they entered, they saw two men lying unconscious. Eric peeked at the men and stunned. His eyes widened in disbelief and he walked near them to check them closer. “What the f*ck?? How did they get in here?” he murmured loudly. “Who are they Eric? Do you know them?” the king asked immediately seeing Eric’s reaction. “Yes,
Chapter 30 “ahem.. why? Isn’t she your soulmate? I guess she is the only one who could help you in this situation “ she said and Eric shook his head. “No, mom. I.. I..” he stuttered. “ahem... Crysta how long are you going to wait? Bring your daughter Adina, she might be able to fix him” she said winking at Crysta who tried to hide her smile. “Mom, please don’t bring Rachel. I.. I.. actually suspect her of some things “ he said not able to see Crysta. “Hmm, my son. I asked Crysta to call Adina not Rachel” the queen spoke and Eric looked at her with a frown. “What do you mean mom? Isn’t Rachel Adina?” he asked and everyone shook their head including Crysta. “What? Then… Who is she and who is the real Adina?” he asked in utter shock. “Oh,Let me, your highness. The girl you brought home, Lily, is my daughter Adina” she said and Eric’s eyes widened in disbelief. Crysta told him of everything a
Chapter 86The wedding bells chimed merrily as Eric and Lily prepared to exchange vows in a ceremony fit for a fairy tale.As Lily walked down the aisle, she was accompanied by Steve and her brothers, Theo, and Shane.They couldn't resist cracking jokes and making faces to ease her nerves. Lily couldn't help but laugh, feeling grateful for their support.As Eric stood at the altar, his heart swelled with love and anticipation. When Lily finally reached him, he couldn't tear his eyes away from her radiant smile. "You look stunning, my love," he whispered, causing Lily to blush.With a twinkle in his eye, the officiant began the ceremony, and amidst the solemn vows and heartfelt promises, Eric couldn't resist sneaking a playful wink at Lily, earning a giggle from his bride.After exchanging rings and sealing their love with a kiss, Eric turned to his father, the king, and made a solemn promise."Father, I vow to take up the reign in two years' time, once Lily and I have had a chance to
Chapter 85“so, tell me. How did my naughty brother suddenly got his wings and where did he disappear after locking Draco in a pendant?” Lily asked with full amusement interlocking her hands with Eric.“so one day, I was sleeping on my bed and suddenly heard someone calling me and I opened my eyes and saw myself floating in the air in a dark place. You don’t believe me I could see all the planets. It was so big and our earth looked so cute. It looked like..”“OH, c’mon Shane, tell me what happened to you? ok so you seemed to be pulled into the space, next what? I don’t want the details about how planets looked” Lily said with annoyance building.Shane chuckled at his over excited sister,“ok, ok. So, I looked around and I heard someone calling me, the voice was majestic and authority filled. It asked me‘Shane, dude, wanna upgrade to angel status? Wings, halos, and whole lot of fun’ it was kind of tempting for me, so I asked‘sure, but do I still get to text during celestial meetings?
Chapter 84Eric held her waist and threw her on the air as she unleashed her hidden powers, the radiant light of her angelic heritage illuminating in that dark forest.A pair of wings formed at her back making her not to fall on the ground as she charged at the person in front of him, her hands with enormous power filled sword stabbed the heart of Draco.Caught off-guard, Draco staggered backward his eyes widening in disbelief. But before he could react, Lily screwed the sword deep inside his heart.Eric rushed to her side and held her trembling hand. Her eyes spilled some tears, sense of disappointment and betrayal filled tears spilled from Lily.Crysta felt the pain in the heart as she saw the man once she loved the most defeated by his own blood.Draco, looked at the girl in front of him and for once it projected the true proudness in his face. His body started to get ignited by the fire.Shane flew by his sister’s side and he brought a pendant out of his pocket and kept it down as
Chapter 83Crysta was not able to digest what she heard and was left in heart break from the revelations. Steve walked to her side and held her small figure.She looked weaker and more aged from what she heard. He felt sorry for the person. While Draco glared at him.“You have always stepped into my plan disrupting it. I can sense you are weak, I don’t know why and how. But that is none of my concern. But for the old times sake, I warn you to stay away, so you will not suffer.Let that snake, my wife and daughter to go with me.” he threatened Steve and looked at Eric.“while you people were busy fighting among yourselves, my army has surrounded you. if you want your men safe and sound, send Adina, Crysta and that snake to me” he spoke and everyone looked around and was stunned to see them surrounded by those creatures.“Adina, my child come to your daddy. I assure not to kill you, I can see how beautifully and powerfully you have grown. Daddy will not let it go waste. I assure you the
Chapter 82“Draco’s daughter?” Lily spoke with her eyes squinting in confusion looking at Steve and trembling Melinda.“yes dear, she is the daughter of Draco” he spoke and saw Melinda gripping Steve’s arms in fear. Melinda looked back at Lily with fear and guilt."Are you Draco's daughter?" she asked saw Melinda nod her head with a gulp. Lily clenched her teeth with anger exuding.“Lily, please calm down” Eric spoke making Lily to look at him with judging eyes.“so, you know that earlier and thought you could hide it away from me?” she spoke with certainty making him to sigh.“It is not simple as that to tell you, I thought of telling you..”“when? When we were killed by Draco?” she asked angrily.“Adina, dear. Please help me and your brother. And please stay away from that snake, she is a deceiver, she will kill us all along with her father” he cried making Lily to look at him with a loss of words.“Adina, No. I will not do that, to be exact, I am here to help you deal with that per
Chapter 81After taking a deep breath, they walked into the chamber and found the sacred book flying in the air with a glow. Lily hugged Eric in happiness as he embraced her proudly.Lily stepped forward with Eric, and the book as if it’s a living being it sensed the presence of someone it waited for long time.It directly flew near Lily and fall on her hands. She looked at the book with overwhelming happiness. The book and she started glowing, Eric who was holding her felt the heat.His body felt something odd in himself, as if he was given some healthy dosages. Suddenly they were lifted off the ground with an aura surrounding themselves.They both closed their eyes, The birthmark behind Lily's ear began to glow like gold. Even Eric's birthmark began to glow on his back.After few minutes their foot touched the ground. They opened their eyes and looked at each other feeling the serenity and huge power inside them.Holding the book, they walked back to where their people were waiting.
Chapter 80As the queen had works to be done regarding the death of Demona, she hurried back to the palace leaving the others to start their hunt for the sacred book.Lily, Eric, Crysta, Melinda and Zion and all the warriors stood with their mouths hung open looking at the mountain and the waterfalls.While Steve was on his alert mode as his senses heightened and his mind indicated something is going to happen.Throwing the rope on the branch of a tree near the waterfalls of the mountain, they started climbing one by one.Steve even tried to spread his wings to fly to the top, but he felt weak and wasn’t able to spread his wings.Melinda looked at him with worries knowing his inner struggle of losing his powers. She squeezed his hands,“I am alright. Just let’s climb” he said looking into her worried eyes.“I.. I am sorry. If you want you can reject me” she said gulping her spit down her throat. He flicked her forehead,“I have told you many times that I am not going to do that. Being
Chapter 79Sitting around the campfire and closing her eyes Melinda placed her head on the chest of Steve. She doesn’t want to think about the death of the woman who birthed her.But the thought, even on the verge of death, Demona’s selfish desire for power overshadowed any mother love.Not once did she show affection, leaving a profound sadness and weakness in Melinda’s heart, realizing she was never truly loved.Steve embraced her and figuring she needed him by her side. He rubbed her back soothingly, the ritual already drank her energy and the death of that woman exhausted her mind and body.Now that Eric knows why Lily is called queen by the tribes put a proud smile on his face, he caressed her head lovingly and proudly for his brave queen.But Lily was squinting her eyes looking at the two people in front of her. Although her mind said it could be out of pity. Steve is pampering her but the eyes he is having towards Melinda made her to doubt.Slapping Eric’s hands, she looked bac
Chapter 78 “Demonaaaa” she shouted with vengeance filled, the evil witch stopped on her fight turning back and saw half human and half snake form of Lily and trembled suddenly. But she didn’t let it out, she is late… she is too late. ‘So, the ritual they had was her to gain powers? And who was that purple snake’ She thought to herself and was suddenly got scared. Nothing scared her entire life, but Lily’s current state is scaring her. Melinda seeing Lily’s appearance, she slithered near her and transformed into her hybrid form too. Upon seeing her transformation, Demona’s eyes widened in disbelief. The one she thought had no powers was majestically standing before her with half human and half snake body. They both slithered fast to Demona’s side, Lily grabbed Demona’s throat single handedly and lifted her above the ground surface. She noticed the same black beaded bracelet on her hands and chuckled evilly. She grabbed the bracelet and threw it at the ground. It smashed
