I wanted to take Orel and Themis for sightseeing but my plans were way laid. Well, it was not like I was the one who was going to take them to all the places they needed to see and explain the places to them. No, that was the job of Sorens who was going to come along with me.
Getting up and hearing that Themis, Orel and Elison had already left for the tour was annoying enough but what was even more annoying was the news that I had to go and see my husband. He was the last person I wanted to see.
I didn’t trust myself to be in the same place as him and not attack him for what he did and now, I had no choice. The people who I would have used as a buffer has already started their tour around and I know Orel will be bored out of his mind. That is if he was not still angry about the evening before.
I still couldn’t believe that Catia tried to kill Themis, until I see that girl, she hiding behind her brother is not going to cut t

“Hey Gwenn.” Faye marched up to me as I was in the courtyard, working on my extra energy, hoping to tire myself out before Orel comes and that this feeling of sadness would be gone by then. I knew that if Orel continued to see me sad, his relationship with his wife was going to suffer, afterall Themis was the person who made a deal with Arius about the marriage.Themis had promised me that it was the right course of action for me but the problem was that, even months later, after the war, it was not still seen. Was her vision wrong for the first time since forever? I wouldn’t even blame her for it. Something about me always make this kind of stuff to happen.Maybe this was the best possible way for me to be less miserable but Themis saw it as happiness. Afterall my mother could not be wrong. When she told me how women in our family were never happy in life, she had stories of our ancestors, dating a long way back to prove her point. I should have never believ

Arius Pov.I was still reeling from Gwenn words and teary face when she left my office minutes ago when a Nisse ran in without knocking.“What’s wrong?” I asked her and she pointed in the direction of the courtyard used for practicing, I turned back to look at the Nisse in confusion.“Your queen is there and she was provoked by the council members and she started whipping them and she is glowing golden I think.” The Nisse said as my eyes widened as her words sank in. I rushed out with the Nisse footsteps sounding besides me and when I got to the courtyard, I saw a crowd watching the scene before them.“Gwenn.” I called.“Don’t.” She answered me. Her voice was not normal but it was strange from the usual we always used. That one was filled with other loud voices. Voices of past ancestors, Warriors that fought for Northshore, Hers rang high, including just one other woman, a woman whose steel could still be felt ev

Arius povI entered the room which Faye was lying in while different healers ran around her trying to make her comfortable.Her eyes brightened at seeing me, before when she smiled that way at me, I always thought that I was very lucky to have her, now all I can ask myself is what was I thinking?What was I thinking by cheating on Gwenn with her? What was I thinking when I allowed her to leave the room with that baby? What was I thinking when I allowed the council to strong arm me into making her my concubine, breaking my marriage contract to Gwenn in the process? What the hell was I thinking when I allowed it to get to this level.“Get out.” I said softly but my tone did not hide the steel behind my words, within seconds the room emptied of the healers that were waiting on her arm and foot.“My king.” She started.The second I reached her, my hand shot out and held her by the throat. “How many times did I warn yo

AriusGwenn is always giving big blows to my confidence without even knowing it, All I did was to tell her I love her and the next thing she does is to run away from the room as fast and far as she could like my words were contagious and me saying it to her was going to make her feel that way about me.Not like it was a bad thing. Heavens know that at least that girl deserves to be happy but she isn’t and it was all my fault.Maybe I was being too forward, I never told anybody other than my mother those words before and she didn’t run way, I can’t help but think it wasn’t the way I went about saying it but she just wasn’t happy with the words.Why will she happy? When I say that I love her and yet another woman has my baby. I was not sure I was ever going to live that down but I need her to see that she is the one whom I want, not Faye. I have been saying it for a long time now but she still refused to believe.This time, she

Gwenn Pov“What is going on?” I asked the Nisse who led the way as we walked. I have not been able to fully understand the whole passage ways and all but I knew the dining hall where our meals are taken but right now, we were going the opposite direction.The only thing that is preventing me from suspecting that she was trying to lead me into a trap or so was because she gave me a letter written by Arius who told me to trust her and follow her.“I don’t know, the king just requested your presence.” She answered as she stopped outside a garden. I looked into it to see a light shining brightly within it.“Am I supposed to go there?” I asked and when she nodded, I took in a deep breath and continued on my way, alone this time.I followed the light and it wasn’t long before I got to a table set simply and filled with Northerners delicacies, the few I liked.“You are here, perfect.” Arius said as he came close to me, i tho

I was certainly not expecting Arius to continue and make good his promise to try and change my mind but he did. The next day, I was awoken by a knock on the door and opening the door to find Arius on the other side, I was seriously tempted to slam the door shut in his face.“Hunting.” He offered when he saw the glare on my face and just like that, my mood became better.“Give me five minutes.” I responded and still took the pleasure in slamming the door at his face.Some minutes certainly longer than five minutes later when I hurried out of my room, in the process of tying my hair in a ponytail, I came to a sudden stop when I saw Arius rest on the wall beside my door.I was not expecting that. What I thought was that he would be outside the palace building but still in the compound, on his horse, huffing and puffing about how much time women took in getting ready.“I watched as Arius eyes took in my assemble but his lips cr

Arius and me decided to investigate a little before calling the attention of others here to see for themselves what had happened and ways for it to be corrected it if ever was going to be.Everything felt wrong and we saw more signs of struggles like the animals were struggling before they were taken alive. Everything was not only wrong but meant serious bad times too.This forest provided a quarter of total meat proportion for the whole of Northshore. “I am so sorry.” Arius apologized, his words broke my concentration at a pair of tracks to look at him.“What are you sorry for?” I asked confused at his words.“I had planned on making you have a fun hunting event not one that turned into an investigating session.” Arius said and looked down I smiled as I walked to him.“It was not your fault, you didn’t steal these animals, in fact you did no wrong at all. But you have to correct this wrong. Just like I do

“There has to be something done.” Isolde shouted into the mayhem of noise at the palace. After everybody had seen the circle, nobody wanted to remain there anymore, believing that the place was a cursed place and we all moved back to the palace to discuss and come up with new ways to handle what we just saw.I had honestly thought it was going to be handled rationally but as soon as we got to the council’s hall, hell broke loose as the council argued, each having different course of action for the Empire.Isolde own was that it could be fought.“How can you fight something that you cannot see?” Gogan said weakly.Me and Arius sat in a corner as we watch them haggle.“They think that they have the final say.” Arius whispered to me. “When they get this way which is only during crisis, the best thing for you to do is to let them exhaust their selves.”“Have you ever seen them like this?” I asked Ar

24 YEARS LATER. Gwenn Pov “I want to run a sword through you so badly that the feeling is visceral. After all these years together I cannot believe you still are a bigoted two timing jerk.” I yelled as I stormed into the throne room, Arius behind me. “I am Yama, I cannot be seen as the fool being controlled by the Alal. It would undermine my ruling…” Arius tried explaining but he just made me even more furious than usual. “Your ruling… I am right and the whole kingdom is aware of that, the forgotten world should not be explored.” “It has been over twenty years. I know that you don’t want it to be explored and that was why I came up with the suggestion that I did. Let it be explored by a selected group of youth, freed from the machinations of the council and led by our children. But you had to spoil it by talking out of turn.” “Did you hit your head without my knowledge?” I asked surprised. Whatever makes

Gwenn Pov“You and Orel will soon be going back won’t you?” I asked. Throughout that day, I had caught Themis and Orel sent each other glances.“Yes. We have to, our work here is almost done and we need to go back.” Themis answered. She would have given me more information but I had a feeling she stopped because I was no longer their citizen. I was now a Northerner.So was she but her loyalty lies with Dar because she was married to one of the rulers.“Almost?” I asked her.“Yes we still have one more task to do. Your curse has been broken and Arius own also has, the empire is slowly flourishing and getting itself back. It has been just three months but the repairs are almost done. Northshorians certainly do not let anything keep them down for long.”I winced at her words.“We prefer Northerners.” I answered as she smiled. “But I stil

Arius Pov I cannot believe that I slept through the period where my country was hijacked and my brother was possessed by an evil spirit that eventually killed him. Kastav was not evil, all he was, was greedy. Maybe I could have prevented this if I had listened to Gwenn warning at first. Gwenn thinks the death of others were on her but she could not be further from the truth. They were on me.Gwenn was Alal, her role was to keep the peace, mine was to fight if the peace was threatened. She was a foreigner and she had no vested interest in saving Northshore but she still did. She had nothing to feel, no weight to carry.I was supposed to carry them all because I could have prevented the death of my sister and Sorens and my councilors too but I did not. I chose to ignore the words of a seer. My fault but now, things are strange and Northshore us not as we know it to be. Old records are being dug. T

Gwenn Pov“You have to stand up and stop moping.” Orel started. “You have been lying in bed for two days now, you don’t have the luxury of lying around, not when you have a kingdom to restore and a husband to find.”“Sorens is dead Orel. He died because of my order that he should protect the king, if he is dead than Arius also is.” I stated as I sniffled while holding on to Elison’s hand while he laid beside me.“But…” Orel started but I grew annoyed.“Only three council members remaining, my husband dead, Sorens dead and his siblings, four dead. These are only the deaths I am aware of, excluding a legion which is dead and you are trying to tell me that I am not at fault. If I never came here, this would never have happened. This is all my fault.” I screamed at Orel and when Elison face wrinkled as he ope

Themis PovI had appeared at the right time. Gwenn was in shock, staring at a body on the ground. Without looking at the body, I knew that it was Silana, one of the blind spots in my gift. A blind spot that might have saved the world.“Would you look at that, the same way I killed Sorens, I also killed that brat. The next on the list is you.” Kastav crackled as he moved towards Gwenn in a leisured pace.I could not allow that to happen, there was not much I could do except throw a dagger, which I collected from Orel, his way. I needed to get Gwenn to snap out of her mind and tell her what I learnt. She needed to tap into my gift so she could win.When the dagger met its mark, I ran towards Gwenn even as he grunted.“You.” He growled as he sent something my way but it never had the chance to reach me becau

Themis PovI was tired of falling. I have been falling for what felt like hours now because since Kastav sent us into the portal he created, I have not been able to stop falling. My only consolation is that Orel and my son has been on the same length as me, no one of us ever leaving the same length so we could keep each other in the same eyesight. That should have been the first marker for me but I had ignored it. We stopped shouting when the fall did not stop and even started conversing and that was when something different happened.“I wish this would just end soon.” Orel grated.“It should have ended because we are not of the same weight and yet we are still falling at the level of falling.” I voiced“My wife must be tired of viewing my face since she wants me to fall faster.” Orel replied wryly.“No, that is not it.

Catia povMy brother is possessed by a drude. That alone makes him unable to rule but I would not be the person to tell him that, not when the last few people who did, died. I now know why Silana said I was the biggest scum at Kastav side. I pushed him to this. If I had allowed him to be contented with his life when he was just a prince and stop his ambitions then maybe this would have never happened.And now I was on my way to see my favorite brother who killed three of my other brothers and made me his queen. The only time I was ever this scared was when Father became ill and even then, he was present to calm me down but who is going to calm me of my fear from him.“You took your time.” Kastav growled the minute I entered the throne room. A room that has become his favorite in the castle even though he hardly do anything in it.“I got the message le

I wanted to ask so many questions, so badly but I could not. My tongue was tied as I watched the entity that was partly inside me since. I apparently crossed the world of the living to their world. I had passed through a physical gate and landed myself here both body and spirit.“Am I still alive?” I questioned.“Yes.” She laughed. “Very much so. Oh how I wished that I could get to spend time with you and know you, my newer self but I cannot. Time has ran out and our world is in jeopardy. Both of our worlds. You need to defeat Mazikeen but for that to happen, we need to go back to the beginning because for the future to be safe once more, the genesis of it all has to be known. Are you ready?” She asked.I nodded my replied. I have been ready ever since I started this journey.“Mazikeen did not go out looking for power, he stumb

“What is going on?” Catia approached me the moment, I entered. I watched as our other siblings eyed us, my brothers especially. They must have guessed what was.“What mother wanted for me.” I replied my sister. I watched as Catia eyes farrowed as she tried to reason what I said. I saw the exact moment she understood. The joy in her gaze and then she hugged me.“I am happy brother. Congratulations.” She replied before she went back to our siblings.I walked to the throne, the direction which everybody was facing and in front of everybody, I sat down in the seat meant for Yama. Utter silence filled the room, regardless of the people in it. All eyes on me as they realized that this was me over throwing my brother.“Any questions?” I asked.“What about the king…” A Mareikura asked
