Golem's pov Before I could respond, someone clapped twice from behind me. As I slowly turned around, I locked eyes with Anastasia, who wore a not-so-friendly expression on her face. She sarcastically said, "Bravo, Bravo, Bravo, Golem. A few days, that's all it took for you to completely forget about me.""It's not like that, Anastasia. Don't put it that way; you make it sound like I'm evil," I responded.Anastasia closed the gap between us, her eyes stern. "Aren't you, Golem?" she said, her voice laced with frustration. "Go ahead and tell me. You forgot about my name!!! Who would ever believe that," she yelled. Taking a deep breath, she continued, "Or maybe it's just me overreacting. You probably hit your head somewhere while flying and suffered from amnesia, am I right?" She held me gently by the chin, examining my face. Suddenly, her eyes turned red with flames, and I could feel the heat of the fire burning within her as she demanded, "Whose lipstick is this, Golem? Don't tell me y
Isadora POVThe atmosphere was tense with grief as the bodies of the massacred were piled up. The chief guard walked up to me and said, "My lady, the number of deceased is numerous. It's impossible for us to give each one an individual funeral."I nodded, wiping tears from my eyes with a handkerchief. "You are right, and besides, we have no time for that. It's best we give them a mass funeral."Just then, two guards approached with a stretcher in hand, the body covered with a white cloth. "My lady, we thought you might want to see him one last time before we have him transferred," one of them said.I lifted the white cloth, and my eyes fell on Matamoros's lifeless form. Instantly, my heart shattered into tiny pieces, and I broke into more tears.With tears streaming down my face, I laid a hand on his chest and whispered, "Matamoros, you were one of the very best things that ever happened to me, and I was one of the worst things to ever happen to you. I hope that one day in the afterli
Golem POV Just as the men chanted and charged forward, Isadora took a step along with them, ready for battle. However, I felt a weight in my chest, the thought of Anastasia haunting me. I pulled her back, knowing I needed to address this before the battle consumed us."My love, we need to talk," I said, my voice carrying the urgency of the matter.Isadora glared at me, her hatred for Leonardis burning in her eyes. I could feel the intensity of her emotions, and I knew I had to let her in on the truth. She responded impatiently, "What about, baby? Can't it wait until we're done with the battle?"I shook my head, the burden too heavy to postpone. "It's kind of urgent, if you don't mind."Isadora sighed, casting a quick glance at the charging men. "Fine, but make it quick baby ,we have the north to destroy."I stared into her eyes, and there was no way I was going to reveal the truth, not with that expression on her face. She didn't seem ready to hear it. So instead, I shifted the topic
Golem POV Leonardis mocked further, pulling out a silver blade and pressing it against Isadora's neck, causing blood to drip slowly. He said, "What's the best way to kill a whore? With a blade or..." He paused for a moment his eyes locked on isadora's and continued saying "you don't deserve to die by my blade isadora, I will do it with my fist instead "with that he threw the blade backwards, the blood on it spilling on me, as soon as the droplet of blood made contact with my skin. A surge of power, like that of a million suns, passed through my chest, and my eyes turned red.The White Wizard yelled, "No, Leonardis, that's a..."Before he could finish the sentence, I unleashed a furious storm of fire that consumed everything in its path, including the white wizard. The flames roared, fueled by a rage more intense than ever before.After a few minutes of the continuous firestorm, I finally stopped, shifting back to my human form. As the smoke cleared, the only thing standing in front
Golem POV In the midst of the celebration, a sudden disruption silenced the music and drew everyone's attention. A bolt of fire descended through the night sky, and as the men surrounded the intruder, Isadora and I moved closer to get a better look in the dim light.To our surprise, the intruder was none other than Anastasia, her eyes filled with anger and determination. As our gazes locked, she thundered, "Fire Lord Golem, we are having a baby."The words hit me like a thunderbolt, and for a moment, I was thrown off balance. "What?" I exclaimed loudly, my mind racing to comprehend the unexpected news. Isadora stood beside me, her expression a mix of shock and disbelief.Anastasia, undeterred by the commotion she caused, repeated with emphasis, "you heard me the first time Golem, I said, we are having a baby."I took a deep breath, trying to process the revelation. "Anastasia, this... I didn't expect..."A thought suddenly hit me that this could be a jealousy fit, by Anastasia to mak
Isadora POVAfter what felt like an eternity, Anastasia finally put out her fire, leaving me in a half-baked condition. Only some parts of my clothes got burnt since Golem was in the way and acted as a heat absorber.For some reason I couldn't understand, Golem's weight was heavily rested on me, and he wasn't moving. I tried to push him on his feet to stand uprightly and carry his own weight, but instead, his body dropped to the floor unconscious.My jaws dropped to the ground, and so did Anastasia's and the men who stood on the sideline.Without a second thought, I threw myself to the floor beside his body, carrying him in my arms, desperately looking for any sign of life, but he was not responding. I screamed at the top of my voice, "Golem, Golem, please wake up, my love," but there was no response.My eyes involuntarily landed on Anastasia's face. I could see fear in her eyes as she swallowed hard on her saliva."This is all your fault!" I screamed at the top of my voice, but she s
Isadora POV Anastasia burst out laughing much to my surprise, saying, "What baby are you talking about isadora? Don't tell me you're so stupid to fall for that. Yes, I'm having a baby, but he's not the father."My jaws dropped to the floor as I yelled, completely taken aback by the extent of her lies, "You toothless imbecile..." I cursed.Before I could complete my response, she added, "Yeah, I wanted him all for myself, but give my blood to save his life? Never. Bitch, bye. I'm out of here."With that, she shifted back into her dragon form and flew out through the door, busting it open leaving a trail of fire behind her. I stood frozen on one spot like a log of wood, watching everything happen like a movie, until the chief guard yelled, drawing my attention back to the reality of the moment, "My lady, she's getting away." As soon as I snapped out of the daydream, I barked out a command, saying, "Grab her, don't let her get away."Immediately, ten of Golem's dragon warriors shifted
Isadora POVJust as I was about to respond, Golem's body gently began to move as he slowly arose from his unconsciousness. "He's awake," I exclaimed, rushing towards his side.Helping him up into a sitting position, he asked, "What happened to me?"I replied, "It's a long story. Remember the black dust the White Wizard used on you back at the North? Turns out we underestimated its effects on you. Thanks to the ritual performed by this witch doctor, everything will be okay now, and your strength will return even greater than before.""Is that so?" Golem inquired, his voice weak.I nodded in response, saying, "Yes, my love. All that is left is for you to drink some of this blood here." Receiving the calabash from the witch doctor, I passed it over to Golem, saying, "Here you go, have some."He took a quick gulp of the blood, and with a mouth still tainted with the crimson liquid, he asked, "Whose blood is this, by the way?"
