Asher’s pov

I opened my eyes to see the old house and I gulped loudly as I vaguely remembers the small hut. It was the same hut I visited with alpha.

Hut of the witch, Hecate.

Hecate, the trivia, the goddess, the most powerful witch and the god of the cosmos. She was the first to bestow her power to the witches. She granted these powers to humankind and later they were known as witches.

She is the wife of the Hades and together she rule the underworld.

“And she had a huge three head dog to guard this place.” Orpheus commented from behind as if reading my thoughts. I turned my neck to look at his face.

“Its name is Cerberus.” I have read stories and seen movies if the tri-headed beast. He was something which is supposed to guard this place. We can’t defeat it if we ever have an encounter with it.

We are just lowly wolves in front of it.

“Don’t you think we are already late to talk about it. if there was a beast like that in the underworld, how come we are still alive after we stepped fo

    Esma’s povWe looked in each other eyes and I smiled.“What.” I shake my head. “Nothing. I am just too happy.” He kissed me.“Me too darling. Me too.” He whispered in my ear.Next sceneI lie on our tartan picnic blanket and gaze up at the clear, blue, summer sky, my view framed by meadow flowers and tall green grasses. The heat of the afternoon summer sun warms my skin, my bones and my belly, and I relax, my body turning to Jell-O. This is comfortable. Hell no . . . this is wonderful. I savour the moment, a moment of peace, a moment of pure and utter contentment.Reed kissed me out of my thought and I reciprocated. I kissed her with the same passion and I hugged him.We were laying in the grass, me and him. I loved him, I loved every part of him. I looked at his face, his ocean blue eyes, his thick eyelashes and God his mouth whenever he says anything.“I wish the time just stop.” I mumbled and closed my eyes.“Emmy? Emmy?” I heard someone calling me out suddenly. The voice was in the

Or is it my body who just immediately summits to her voice.Hecate, she wore a simple black robe, her hair were jet black, a beautiful shade of black with brown mixed with it. her eyes were filled with the mysteries we couldn’t fathom and her aura was that of divine.She looked so much like Moona. I remembered what I read in the book, her history and Moona and how Selene was her sister too. I remembered the book I got from Damien and how he helped me in directly. If not for that book I would never

    Esma’s pov“People come in response to need not desire.” the words of hectare rings in my head like a tolling bell, reminding me I have acquired the necklace.Yes I did it. I clutched the bag in my hand as tightly as I could. My bag had only three things left. The watch, the necklace and an almost empty water bottle.Me and Asher, we departed from the Hecate’s hut as soon as I got the necklace. It was more like we were not welcomed more than that. Not that I am complaining but gods surely fails at the hospitability section.We were walking down the passageway Hecate mentioned. I could feel the wind flowing down my cheek, it was fresh and how to put it in words… more ‘livelier’.The air was not anymore suffocating and this only proved that we were on the right path. Asher didn’t say a word after we said our goodbye to Hecate.He seems more distant than usual. Also, I wanted to know what kind of reward did he get from Hecate for clearing his trial.I wanted to know about his trial too. W

We have been asked to bought the necklace from the place we never thought we could enter yet survive.The odds were not in our favour. The stakes were high. We were dealing with something we didn’t have any clue about. I turned my face to look at Asher. He smiled assuringly saying he is there for me. Just like he has always been.The inside of the room was completely different from the other rooms and the hallway in architecture. It was old, huge and gives off different vibe, just like Alfred Hitchcock movies.The torches that hung on the wall suddenly start to light up one by one. I watch in surprise as t

    He started walking towards the other door, opposite from the one we came from.“Follow me.” he ordered and we didn’t even want to ask where he was taking us.We followed him silently into the darkness.He walked in front of us. Damien. The god of chaos. All the good things and worse, all die with him whenever he put his eyes on them. For some reason I don’t know, although his back was huge and straight, I don’t know but he looked like he was carrying a heavy burden on his shoulders.There was an immerse sadness in his eyes and anger. Anger which could consume everything within.I want to ask him. I want to know. Why does the man who is one of the great gods of this world. Who defeated the unrivalled within the blink of an eye look so small and pitiful?The smell of a beast exudes from his soul, the smell of blood, oil and steel as well as violence and pent-up anger. The colour of hatred. In deep whirlpool of numerous emotions. Within that lies immense sadness…He finally stopped in fro

I was awe-struck. Then came the moon goddess and Roxy and hell even Damien.Now I don’t know if I should add another entry in the Miss beauty contest. Amara. I mean who named these people?

Although I don’t know if I could call it a hug or not, she and him were embracing each other for another long minute.It didn’t take me long enough to know what Amara meant to Damien.

    Esma’s pov“Thank you Dumeny for all your help.” I said and played with my fingers. Why this all have to be so awkward?Dumeny chucked and brushed it off as if it was nothing. “We have been friends for all these years Emmy. This is only natural that we help each other.” He said and looked back at the sea.I don’t know if it was the stupid me who was waiting for a comeback or if it was the fact that we have shared the space for the first time in so many years alone, my instincts took over me.“Dumeny, how come you didn’t find your mate too?”Dumeny looked taken aback. As if he didn’t thought of the question before or maybe he didn’t think he would heard it from me.He blinked twice and just stared at me. His expression was blank. I never saw Dumeny like that. He had never made that face before. not in front of me at least.I know I have to strike when the iron is hot. This was the opportunity for me to get to know him better.“I know you had already had a thought about it. I mean you ar

    In a sunny field, there was a happy donkey, munching on some fresh, green grass. She was enjoying her peaceful day when suddenly, she heard a scary snarl.“Oh my, what’s that noise?” the donkey wondered, her ears perking up.When she looked around, she saw a wolf, with his eyes fixed on her. “I’m very hungry,” the wolf growled, “I’m going to eat that donkey.”The donkey knew she couldn’t outrun the wolf. “It’s too late to run,” she thought. “I can see his mouth watering. I need to think of something fast!”As the wolf came closer, ready to pounce, the donkey had an idea. “Ouch, my poor hoof!” she cried out.The wolf, puzzled, stopped and asked, “Whatever is the matter?”“There’s a thorn in my hoof. It hurts so much,” the donkey explained. “Can you help me get it out?”The wolf was confused. “I’m going to eat you. Why would a thorn in your foot matter?”The donkey replied, “Well, if you’re going to eat me, you should help me first. If you don’t remove the thorn, it might get stuck in y

We have to wake up earlier tomorrow to move our luggage to the remaining ship, so go ahead and get some sleep.”I heard the voices of the bandits across the room.“Hey you dumbasses, can’t you be quiet? The leader is sleeping right now.” I heard one of the man shouting at the crowd and it didn’t take me a hint to understand that he was above them.I turned to look at August who was also hearing whatever was going on outside.“How long has it been since we infiltrated this place?” August asked quietly and looked at both of us.“I think about four hours have passed. It has gotten quiet and I can’t feel any more presence.” I said.“I guess we can go out now.” three of us on our toes, walked out of the room, it was supposed to be a store room and we infiltrated this plac

    The place they told us about was a bit far from where we guessed. Neither we have anyone other than Dumeny to be our guide nor someone we could rely on. We were on a rescue mission.Including many people will only risk leaking out the information.After a long day of walking, the houses could be seen and we sighed in relief. Houses means establishment, which means there will be people nearby.“The river is really splitting.”“These are only a band of mountains located on the side of the river. Its this way.” Dumeny said as we walked down the hill.As soon as we crossed the road I know what they meant by ‘at the side of the river’. There were two three boats on the river and there were more houses than we saw on our way to here.“That must be the place.” I said and August and Dumeny stood beside me.“Hah… only after crossing the mountains can I barely see it. no wonder it’s so hard to find them.”“I can see many watch towers.” I said scanning the whole place. Now that we have located t

The other two cried in horror not believing their eyes.“Talk nonsense if you want to die.”The head of the person rolled off his neck and blood splatters wherever his head rolled on the ground leaving a path of blood for others to see.The other two brothers gasped in horror as they saw their brother’s life fading from his eyes. They now knew the severity of the situation.The look on their face tells me they will cooperate now.This is the problem with the mobs nowadays. They have to see the blood spill first before they could cooperate.“Tell me where your base is?” I asked standing straight in front of the second brother. He looked kind of older than the other one, so I assume he is.“Our base?”He looked lost in thought as if thinking hard about all the possibilities. If betraying was any good enough for him. I know the look on his face, I have seen it all my life to know what was a

Asher appeared before me in no time.“You called?” he said no beating around the bush with him.I sighed and told him everything we discussed with Dumeny.He listened to everything in silence.“I have heard about this city. If Diana is there, it won’t be easy to get her out.” he said and I hummed. I already know about it.
