Geneva woke up into a beautiful morning. The gentle sunlight flittered through the window while the birds sang sweets songs of harmony. She rolled to her side to greet her silver-haired friend and tease her about the previous night only to find her spot empty. She must be up and going already. Geneva didn't linger long in the bed to start her morning so she fixed the bed and freshened herself up in Ruby's bathroom which is surprisingly large and grand, filled with extremely expensive beauty products much more costly than the ones that she uses. She helped herself with Ruby's stuff knowing that the silver-haired wouldn't mind.
She soon descended from the second floor to get her breakfast or prepare one in case Ruby hasn't yet. To her surprise, the witch is also nowhere to be found downstairs though she had already prepared breakfast, which Geneva was very thankful for. She took two slices of toasts and sandwiched the bacon with them before taking a large bite. She poured
After three days of flying Aleister finally arrived in the Lytebright Capital. Ruby had given him a map of the land and the blueprints of the castle which is very impressive of his little witch. She had also packed non-perishable sets of food rations and given him a handsome amount of gold to spend for his travel.He arrived in the capital at a daytime so he had to wait until the sun sets for him to be able to make a move and sneak inside the palace. In the meantime he watched the rotations of the guards and studied the blueprints of the palace, memorizing and marking all the entrances and exits he could use for his break-in and escape.Once twilight broke in, the demon was already inside the palace infiltrating its halls. He went up and down the tedious stairs, crawled left and right through vexing hallways which all looked the same, and hid every time he heard footsteps like a mouse which is very degrading for a person like him but his
Ruby woke up with a heavy heart. Tears instantly fell from the corners of her eyes when she saw the peaceful sleeping face of Geneva who cuddled close to her. She whispered thousands of apologies to the sleeping maiden as she caressed her hair. Ruby soon decided to leave the bed and freshen up. After grooming herself she immediately went downstairs to prepare breakfast and maybe even collect a few berries from the forest.Ruby decided to make a few waffles, toasts, bacon, and eggs while humming a soft tune from a song she heard before from a cartoon. She stirred the waffle mix and poured the substance into the waffle maker, swaying a little as she does so."Bacon pancakes making bacon pancakes. Bacon pancakes that's what I'm gonna make. Take some bacon and you put it in a pancake. Bacoooon pancakes." she sang."Meoooow meow meow."(Translation: Mom you're making waffles not pancakes) Manticat argued. Ruby giggled at her familiar's antics."I
Ruby collapsed on the floor, her limbs giving away due to horror more than the pain. She tried looking up to her friend and asking for her forgiveness however she felt a hard smack against her cheek. Her face collided with the floor.She tried pushing herself up Geneva stepped on the back of her head crushing her face against the dirty floor. She kicked her to roll over as Ruby groaned in pain and grief. She looked up and saw her friend's sorrowful red face filled with rage and anger."You lying traitorous bitch!! You took them away from me!! You took my child away from me!! You took Gallen away from me!! You betrayed me!! You are nothing but a slut who uses people for her own wicked agenda!! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!!" she yelled in rage before raising the Sword over her head and swinging it down to split the witch's head. Ruby was able to avoid being sliced in half by moving her head a fraction from the sword's trajectory and kicking Geneva on her stomach making her stagg
Manticat soon descended from the stairs in his large Panter form ready to fight but when he saw his master's despondent state his ears lowered in pity and he went to comfort her by snuggling near her neck. He released purrs of reassurance but Ruby was too consumed by grief to listen. He activated a revitalizing spell to heal his mistress before submissively laying his head on her lap while listening to her cry knowing that there is nothing he can do or say that will lessen or remove her grief.Ruby soon stopped her crying, she picked herself up and took a parchment and quill before scribbling something on the sheet.Lancewell,I am not aware if Geneva has already told you but Gallen had left her and eloped with Leanna. She is grief-stricken at the moment so she begged me to use a memory erasure spell to cast away her sorrow and I did. I erased her memories of Gallen and I might have erased a few of her other memories as well. Please take care of her. I know you are
A cloaked figure walked the path less taken in the woods. A brave soul withstanding the dangers of the path as well as the deathly cold that has engulfed the land. Peril played among the shadows, frolicking in the darkness while waiting for the next prey to land on its maw and drink the blood of its innocence and stupidity.A trail of corpses followed her path like the tail of a crimson comet burning across the pitch-black darkness of the sky, unrivaled by all the other light. A weapon with the shape of the crescent moon dripped with blood. The weapon of Death and the blade that reaps the bounty of harvest. There is serenity in death and peace in the unforgiving cold.Ruby stood alone in a sea of corpses where she herself sailed through by her own doing. Doing this was supposed to make her feel better for her grandpa and grandpa's deaths, but why does it feel so. . . empty. The void in her heart is not yell filled by the reaps of her vengeance, in fact, it seems to exude
Ruby roamed the castle's vast garden with a pair of scissors in hand. Her basket is filled with crimson roses as she picked the best flowers to dedicate to her grandma and grandpa's grave. Today is the day of their death anniversary and Ruby wanted to bring them flowers and prayers. They weren't truly related by blood but they are certainly related by bond. They were a nice old couple who once saved her from death but they perished because of the cruel hands of fate. Even though she was just a child when it happened, she can still remember every single detail vibrantly.As a little girl, Ruby was very adventurous. She would sneak out of the house to see the town and play with the other children. Her disappearances would often cause her handmaidens and guards to panic throwing the whole palace into chaos. She would often come home with her expensive dresses in tatters, soiled by dirt invoking the wrath of her governess and handmaidens but it was fine because she was having so m
Ruby prays in the corner as grandma takes care of grandpa's wounds. She prayed for her mother to arrive immediately so that they can be saved already. She prayed that grandpa could hold on for a little bit longer while Grandma Rose sewed his wound shut making him release groans of pain. Ruby trembled harder as the monstrous wolves tried to break down the door relentlessly while the old wood barely held on its hinges. She whimpered as the wolves howled loudly into the night air dedicated to get inside the room and do god-knows-what to them.Ruby tried harder to keep her mind off from the danger being shielded only by a weak wooden door. She tried reciting the names of all her mother's knights in alphabetical order to keep her mind focused. Surely enumerating the names of brave and strong men will give her courage as well to be able to endure this crisis and not break down until they arrive to rescue her. She's like a princess right now like the ones from Grandm
Ruby's bright emerald eyes turned dull as a fallen leaf. They lost the shine of her innocence as she stared at the despondent scene, her heart becoming cold and empty like the corpse of her grandpa. She went to her grandmother's side knowing that she as well is at death's doorstep. The blonde girl held her nimble shriveled up hand filled with blood as she can only lament their pitiable fate."It's all my fault... I'm too weak to protect you and I'm too cowardly to do anything. I failed you. I should have been the one to die instead of grandpa." she mumbled softly as she cried. Grandma Rose frowned at her words before cupping her cheeks."Hush now child. Do not regret our lives because we know one way or another we are going to die as all of us will. Do not say such foul things. Your life is precious because you still have time. You didn't fail us. You never did. You provided the brightest days in our lives with every visit that you made and it meant
"I didn't expect that you would be this weak, Neherra. Where's that spunk you've been boasting off for centuries? It's no wonder that even my young daughter could kill you. It's her fate after all and your destiny is to be killed by her hands that's why you've been trying so hard to kill her. But you know what, witch queen? I'll never let you lay a single hand on my daughter." Cadmus declared in a menacing and authoritative voice as he stood in front of the bowed demon queen. The fierce battle that raged between them ended with Cadmus as the obvious winner while Neherra gasped for her breath below his feet. "Then why don't you just kill me and get things over with! Or do you not have the balls to kill me, you spineless dragon!" Neherra screamed as she glared at him fiercely.
It was a dreadful night. The blood moon that bathed the world with a crimson light seemed like it was mimicking the carnage of the land down below. Even the light of the billions of stars in the sky couldn't dispel the malevolent aura that seemed to emanate from the corrupt moon that appears to be watching the world like a condescending eye. Fear and panic reverberated across the atmosphere as death and destruction devoured the light of hope. If an outsider would take a look at the world they would say that it was hell and not the world of mortals. The chaos was especially prevalent in the Splendor Palace where the rich and powerful were supposed to be safe and enjoying a party of their own. Now their careless merriment has turned into despair with no way of escape but a small force of brave fighters are doing their best to fight back against the forces of darkness that ascended from hell. Injured and broken, bleeding and battered, the brave her
"What the hell are you doing? You've been drawing there since we finished making love. Aren't you going to get some rest?" Althreya mumbled groggily as she sat up in his extravagant golden bed wrapped only in the exquisite fur and linens from unknown exotic lands. Her fine bare body dented the soft mattress of the bed while streaks of sunlight haloed her cascading locks. To the man who sat drawing over his varnished table, Althreya looked like a goddess of beauty regardless of her disheveled appearance."I am merely indulging my fancy. If you've missed me that much even though we've spent five days and nights fucking our hearts out, then I would say that you are already in love with me. Well, no one can blame you for that. None can resist my charms anyways." joked Cadmus, making Althreya roll her eyes in annoyance."You fuck harder than you fight." retorted Althreya as she gathered the clothing her gracious host had provided only
A new dawn has arrived and in its wake, a new king is crowned. The proud Kingdom of Camelot had collapsed, the Knights of the Round Table had perished with it, and a new empire rose from its soils born from its people. The new empire is named Neo-Macedonia, ruled by Aurelius Parabellum II, grandson of Augustus Parabellum. Althreya Pendragon, the last queen of Camelot, and her most loyal knights fled from the ruins of Camelot and chose to live a simpler life in the northern region. She returned to the ancestral home of her mother in a small region called Colchester. Albeit being smaller and less grand than their former residence, Althreya and her knights led a life of hunting beasts and slaying down monsters and demons to protect their new home. With the blessing of the Holy Sword Excalibur, the former queen and her chosen knights were able to maintain their youthful prime years never
"My father?!!" Ruby exclaimed in bewilderment. She can't believe the words this man just uttered. Surely he must be bluffing. It's impossible! How can he be her father? Her mother never mentioned anything about him regardless of how many times she begged for the truth. Althreya would always refuse and say that she has work to do that's why she gave up on the topic. Now this man, this stranger from nowhere, comes up to her and tells her he's her father. How the hell is she supposed to feel about it? Anyway, there's also the possibility of an ulterior motive behind his introduction. He might actually be evil or something, so he drew her away from her friends before kidnapping her or murdering her. The only way to find out if he's telling the truth is to see if he really knew her mother so might as well play a little game. "What's mommy's favorite color?" "Blue." Well, that's correct but it was prett
Ruby stepped out of her carriage and gazed upon the proud edifice that housed the most powerful family in the length and breadth of the realm. The brightest lights illuminated the walls of the silver towers highlighting their magnificent architecture and beauty. The gardens are curated to perfection where the hedges are all trimmed and decorated with ribbons and fairy lights. Pixies frolic around while the fairies presented their elegant waltz in the air. The beautiful jewel-covered nymphs used their powers to make the water dance in the little canals and fountains, enchanting everyone as they entered. There are myriads of curiosities and experiences waiting to be discovered and it was just the entrance, what more could the insides hold. The sheer diversity and individuality of everything and everyone contributed to the radiance and majesty of the party making everything become more magical as you go deeper into the castle.
Aurelius sat her on his lap before wrapping his arms around her waist while their lips caress each other with passion and sorrow. Ruby removed his coat and unbuttoned his shirt to expose his strong muscles where sweat dripped down his skin that glistened like ivory. The maiden allowed her hand to explore the tenderness of his beautifully built figure and appreciated the well-defined lines that traced the broadness of his chest and the lengths of his arms.Aurelius pulled down her strap to expose her ample bosom and began caressing her soft delicate mounds that perfectly fit his palms. He teased, squeezed, and twisted her buds to allow her core to lubricate faster as his tongue traced the line on her jaw up to her ears making Ruby moan with pleasure and arousal. The maiden retrieved his slumbering python from the comforts of his pants and roused it with the gentle kisses of her fingertips. Aurelius also inserted his fingers inside her panties to tease her c
The chilling cold hugged her body in its comforting embrace as the water wiped away her tear into non-existence. Silence reigned and darkness engulfed her body as the water muted the world yet it did little to console her heart and wipe away the sorrow which lingers in her chest after finding out about Caspian's demise. Ruby didn't last long in the water as she finally decided to rise to the surface and cleanse her body. She sat herself on top of a boulder and took out a potion which she used to massage her hair with. She allowed it to settle on her locks before focusing on scrubbing the dirt and grime on her body as well as the blood of the demon who pretended to be her friend. She decided to redirect her mind into a different topic than Caspian's death. Sadness and sorrow will do a leader no good. A paragon abandons
Caspian and Ezekiel stood there and remained silent waiting for her to speak. Ruby slumped on the chair never minding her posture and manners as the two joined her on the seats around the table. "You should really leash your cousin, Cassy. He's gone too ballsy speaking to our Ruby like that." Ezekiel spoke spitefully. "That fool is naturally like that. I'm sorry that he treated you that way, dear Ruby." Caspian apologized to the maiden who poured herself a glass of water before drinking tiredly from her golden cup. "It's okay. I'm numb to it. Let the dogs bark because they are mindless beasts. Caspian, I heard that you and your soldiers were ambushed on your way here. Are you well?" "Oh, yes. It was a tough battle and some were even able to drag me deep into the woods to separate me from my squad however no demon will amount to the might of a northern soldier. I sent them scrambling with one roar and a swing of a blade. No one can stop me
