Chapter 57
“It is to announce that someone was trying to start a war on the border” Drew spoke and Eric’s face was already reddened in anger.
“war?” Lily was baffled hearing that and looked at Eric who was also turned to look at her. Suddenly his eyes glazed and his movements stopped.
Seconds later, his eyes became normal and he looked at Drew who nodded his head.
“Was it the queen? I have informed my beta already and the warriors that came along with me were all ready for us to join” Drew informed Eric with seriousness and Eric patted his shoulders.
He turned his head back to Lily who had worried look written all over.
“Lily, stay inside the palace. I will send some guards to protect you and Melinda. You both should stay safe, promise me that you will do what I say” he looked at her expectantly but Lily’s heart squeezed uneasily hearing him worrying for Melinda.
“I want to come along with you. I don’t n
Chapter 58 Demona who was furious from all the provokes from the king sneered at him and signaled her army filled with vampires, rogues and mysterious figures to attack. Eric and all the soldiers who were ready from the beginning, started to fight back immediately seeing those creatures charging at them. “Melinda, I guess it’s not right thing for you to stay here. Go to the palace immediately.” Lily spoke with care but Melinda shook her head. “no, I will stay to fight” saying she transformed into a snake and wiggled in-between the crowds biting some of the rogues injecting her poison into their systems making them fall dead. Lily who saw that, shook her head with a heavy sigh and stepped forward to attack whosoever comes before her. Soon the swords clinking sounds, people’s screaming of pain were heard in that wide open place where the battle is on full mode. A red headed vampire captured a warrior restr
Chapter 59 “how can you be so careless coming here. I can’t live if anything happens to you, sweet” his words caressed her hammering heart to calm down. She tightened the hug by reciprocating his hug for seconds. She broke the hug only after remembering them still in between a battlefield. “I felt like, I’m supposed to be here.” She said looking into his sharp eyes. “You are too stubborn. Do you know that?” saying he wiped the blood from her forehead, she smiled at his loving words and actions. “now tell me, are you okay? Your eyes… they didn’t look normal” she asked and he released a sigh. They both took their swords and fought the vampires that jumped before them to attack. “my mom talked to me using telepathy, one of her powers “ he said and she looked at him with wide eyes as she stabbed in the heart of the vampire. Eric chuckled seeing her reaction feeling it cute. He pulled the sword out of the oth
Chapter 60 “Adina, my child” the queen ran closer to Lily and pulled her in a bone crushing hug. Lily with a startled look hugged her lightly. “Your majesty” saying she bowed her head after the queen broke the hug. The queen immediately shook her head with a frown. “you don’t have to bow before me, alright? Call me mom from now onwards. You are our beloved princess, the one who saved our people and the one who is going to rule and protect everyone along with Eric one day” saying the queen caressed her hair. Lily gulped her saliva hard hearing to those words, that insinuated the responsibilities she is going to bear. Seeing her scared look made the queen to chuckle as she patted Lily’s shoulders. “Thank you dear, you did the best. I’m so proud of you” she said as Lily gave a shy smile. “Thanks to you too, your majesty. It was your idea, helped us in saving rest of others” Lily said and the queen shook her head an
Chapter 61 “Count me too, in destroying her” came the weekend voice of Melinda. Seeing her struggling to come near them, Lily immediately ran to help her. Melinda smiled seeing Lily who looked at her with complexity in her eyes. Shane started calculating in his mind about Melinda and her words. “Look at you, this is why I asked you to go back to the palace “ Lily shouted in frustration seeing her gauze soaked with blood from her straining. “I’m sorry, I couldn’t help you properly but next time, I will be there next to you helping in killing Demona” she said with her eyes projecting the hatred for Demona very well. Crysta gave a pitiful smile hearing her words and left the place as she was called in for a help. After she left the place and before Lily could respond to Melinda’s words, “MELINDA? What the hell happened to you?” came the loud voice of Eric, who just laid down a wounded warrior on the bed. Lily saw t
Chapter 62 Steve’s heart raced seeing Melinda’s scared face, he immediately gestured her to come and stand along with Lily. Melinda with pain jumped from the bed, ran behind Steve and held Lily’s hand with a trembling heart. “you made a mistake, coming here. Go back to your place. “ Steve’s voice thundered with anger raising in his heart and his hands swirled with his powers spilling to attack the woman. “hehehe… go back? Yea I will, after taking what is mine from here.” The woman’s voice tripled with many voices. The people inside the camp were horrified seeing what is happening. Crysta’s eyes widened in horror examining the situation, in a hurry she approached her daughter who was frozen like a statue. The pregnant woman looked at Crysta and her eyes glazed as it glued to her every movement. Steve noticed the woman’s eyes and snapped his fingers to bring her attention to his. The woman laughed at Steve, unders
Chapter 63 At the Kings official chamber, “Mom, tell me who is that?” came the impatient Lily’s voice. After receiving the water from the queen and gulping it down, Crysta looked at her daughter. “it’s the soul eater, Draco” she said as she inhaled sharply again. “Draco?” Lily asked her mom and as she repeated the name, Melinda trembled in Steve’s arms. Eric’s eyes landed on Steve and Melinda who stood at the corner of the room. He can see her trembling in Steve’s arms making him to feel pity for her and as well as feeling little relief from the way Steve protecting her. Melinda, if possible, would have run away from the place avoiding the topic. Since Steve was there holding her in his arms, she felt no one can harm her making her to stay put. “Yes, his name is Draco and he is the dark lord. Your father was sent from above to hunt him down. He is the biggest threat and enemy for your father who
Chapter 64 It’s been a month and I couldn’t find where my father and our warriors are. I still don’t want to believe the words of that village guardian that my father and our warriors are no more. Staying in the garden near the village and without entering the village I somehow gathered some knowledge of what is happening. But never I found a clue about my people breaking my heart more each and every day. But I kept onto my hope and monitored the village, I didn’t find the root causing evil but what I found so far is that, each and every week the villagers are performing rituals with a woman who seems to help that evil in gaining more power. So far, I saw three weddings’ villagers celebrated and all those three nights, I only heard the screaming’s coming from the brides and a series of drums sounds by the villagers. This was confusing as I never seen or heard such around and I think its related to that evil. I even noticed one of the bride family were performing a ritual of crema
Chapter 65 As I tried to confront the evil, someone caught my hand. I looked at the hand it was a hand of a man making me to turn immediately to see who it was. And what I saw is a majestic looking man, resembled a look of an angel. I looked at him in awe as he also stared into my eyes. His eyes sparkled as if excited to see me, my head tilted to the right on its own as I almost ogled him without realizing it. He was also looking at me similar to mine and bowed down a little, my eyes closed as my heart suddenly craved and anticipated a kiss from him. As we were ready to cave into our desire, a rustling sound made us aware of the situation, he immediately pulled me to his back hiding me as we hid ourselves in a bush. I peeked through his shoulder and met a dwarf creature with a long but thin tail and a bat wings. It tried to sniff the air probably for us. The man beside me pulled my head to his chest and blew some air at a distance and I heard a cracking sound to where that creat
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
