❤️❤️ Separate Ways (Part 14) ❤️❤️
She has no idea why her mother had given her the half necklace. She even didn't know that the necklace was two, probably the two necklaces together will complete its wholeness.
"Keep this safe with you Juno, always. Protect it with all your life and do not let it fall into the hands of any person." her mother's words still lingers around her as she remembers that fateful day.
She had given Rumi the necklace to give to Storm because she believes he would forgive her. And now that there are two of them, she didn't mind giving Storm one of the half necklace.
Sighing, she dropped the necklace back into one of her boots and sat on the bed, waiting for Rumi's return.

Emperor's Palace:
"I won't lose it Rumi," Storm promised. "Besides, I can't lose such a beautiful gift. Thank you." he added covering the diamond with his palm
❤️❤️ Separate Ways (Part 15) ❤️❤️Rumi laughed softly. Her plan is succeeding. She promises to give Juno such an easy death tomorrow. She made sure her room door was locked before she slept off.***************Juno couldn't contain her happiness when she went back to her room. She started humming a song her mother once taught her.Storm has forgiven her even though she wasn't the one who had injured him. Whoever that was impersonating her should wait until she gets her hands on them. But for now, she will have to take the blame for what she did not do.She couldn't wait for tomorrow to come, in fact if she wished for time to run fast. How did Rumi do it? How was she able to convince Storm to forgive her? When Storm saw her earlier today why did he look away and now that Rumi came to meet him tonight and talked to him. He has forgiven her. Whatever and however Rumi has done it shouldn't be her concerns.
❤️❤️ Separate Ways (Part 16) ❤️❤️Rumi told Juno where she could follow and Juno did as told. They walked and walked until they were on the outskirts of Ashland."If I am not mistaken we are at the outskirts of Ashland and we have been walking since," Juno said, pausing to look at the sky as the sun rays began to come out. "Where exactly is Storm and wouldn't he had left already?""W-e ar-e al-most clo-ser t-o th-e pla-ce St-orm i-s. H-e ga-ve m-e hi-s wo-rd th-at h-e wa-nts to ta-lk to yo-u," Rumi said succeeding in convincing Juno and they continue their walk.Soon they left the land of Ashland and walked until they finally got to some mountains."H-e to-ld m-e h-e wi-ll a-t th-at mo-unt-ain." Rumi told her as she pointed towards a mountain which was the biggest in size and height.Juno looked towards the mountain and saw someone on top of the mountain. It was princely clothes that made her believe that it was S
❤️❤️ Separate Ways (Part 17) ❤️❤️"I don't believe you.""When you go and meet your mother wherever she is right now, she will tell you what secret she hides. Anyway, she deserves what she got.""Who are you?" Juno asks, blinking her eyes to keep them from getting blurry. She was fighting the dizziness that was fast approaching her."We are sisters but yet different. I am darkness itself Juno. I will give you a quick death," Rumi said with a lopsided smile."Even though I am injured I won't be going down alone. If I am dying, you are dying with me." Juno told her with gritted teeth."Bravo, did I forget to tell you that I did that to Storm. I fought him and injured him using your face. He hates you now and doesn't wish to see you again, in fact he wishes you death and I am helping him to grant his wish," Rumi said with seriousness and then smirk devilishly."You are doing all these things righ
❤️❤️ Separate Ways (Part 18) ❤️❤️One- among the two men built like rock- walked steadily to where the young red-haired naked man was and stared at the face of the young girl floating at the surface of the water."Your highness, she is dead. We should cut her into pieces and feed you drag-""Silence Kando before I do that for you. Just because you and your brother have found favor in my eyes doesn't give you the right to tell me what I should do.""I am sorry your highness," Kando apologized."Take her to Adaoh at once and tell her she must do everything to bring my precious back to life. I will come before she's done."Kando nodded his head and carried Juno's cold , heavy body out of the water. Him and his brother left the cave.Red eyes stare at the trembling servant before him who was now on his knees"I was interrupted before I could even relax to bath and whose fault is that?""Mine your
❤️❤️ Separate Ways (Part 19) ❤️❤️ The red-haired young man came out of his Palace building and entered another building that was built like a bungalow. Seeing the two brothers inside standing close to a door, his eyes met with Kando. "She is working on her, your highness," Kando said and the red-haired man opened the door and went in. He saw Adaoh speaking in a strange language he understood well, her eyes closed. He also saw the dead girl in the mid air in front of Adaoh. Adaoh didn't open her eyes but knew who entered her room. She was sitting in India style. He sat opposite Adaoh and stared at his precious body, which was still pale. Adaoh opened her eyes, eyes black as night. She stared at red-haired. "Dean," she was the only one who was permitted to call him by his given name. "I have done what is needed, you have to do the rest." Dean chuckled darkly and stood up to his feet,
❤️❤️ Separate Ways (Part 20) ❤️❤️ "Dean, whatever is destined to happen, will happen no matter how long it takes," Adaoh said to him. "Not on my watch." Dean told her and returned his gaze at Juno, "From now henceforth your name is Kira." Juno smiled at him. "Follow me, let me take you to your room." he added and left with Juno who was following him. They came out of the room and left the building together with Kando and his brother. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ Warlord Emera House: "She is dead my Lord," the healer said to him. "I have tried all the techniques I have mastered and known in all my years but nothing worked, the wound was too deep. Too deep my Lord." "No oooo, please try to make my daughter live.

❤️❤️❤️ Emperor Ariadne Will (Part 1) ❤️❤️❤️Twelve Years Later....."Why are you sad my dear?" Empress Rose asked her daughter Reca. Reca, who married King Elliot the ruler of Koda kingdom in the west that was controlled by Emperor Dean, had come to visit her mother. They were in the Empress room. Empress Rose was sitting on her bed with a cup of empty herb tea beside her. Reca was sitting next to her."I want to leave his mother, I can't bear the suffering anymore. Our love is lifeless," Reca said as she couldn't control her tears anymore she began to cry. "I am dying in this marriage mother, the abuse is too much and I can't take it,""So? Look my dear daughter, that's what every woman faces in her home. You have to be strong and fight for your home. Take a look at me, your father cheated on me so you should know they are all the same.""Father cheated on you once and he had to apologi
❤️❤️❤️ Emperor Ariadne Will (Part 2)❤️❤️❤️It all started with her lavish wedding.....After the death of Juno, Warlord Emera became miserable. Though he didn't know why he was miserable, in fact when he had woken up the next day after burying Juno, he forgot about it and now sees Rumi as Juno. He started neglecting in training his warriors or seeing to it that Ashland and the Kingdoms under Ashland are safe.Warlord Emera couldn't concentrate in his position as the Warlord of Ashland any more. He became a shadow of himself.He became the talk of the kingdom and was gossiped about whenever the people saw him.Four Years ago, when Rumi was 18 years old she introduced a young man to him. Rumi told Warlord Emera that she wanted to marry him. He then asked the necessary questions about the man's family from the said guy and went to visit him in his own home to see his family as
❤️ Revelations (Part 3) ❤️ "This confirms everything then. We've to play our own game.""If Edgardo is Fred, don't you think he would be listening to our conversation right now?" Kira said to them. "He will be watching us.""No, he will be concentrating on the conversation he is having with Dean and not on us." Storm reply. "Just leave Fred to me.""Will you kill him then once he revealed himself?" Phoenix asked."Nope, I won't. Don't worry, mother. It's me and Fred. Dean is not the issue here." Storm answered. "Kando, make sure when you are fighting look out for Uncle Emera here and Morgan and yourself too, I hope your brother can take care of himself also. Just be careful. Promise me you will do that for me?""I promise you Storm. I will watch them like my life depends on it." Kando promised. "If that will be all, I should start going.""Knowing Fred, he's going to tell Dean about your visit here, so come up with a tangible lie." Storm told him."Noted." Kando nodded. "Another thing
❤️ Revelations (Part 2) ❤️ A cough startled mother and son and they turned towards the direction the cough was coming from. Adaoh was seen coming out from Storm's room and Empress Rose didn't hide her shock. "Are you staying here? Won't you go with them?" "I will go, I know where they are heading to so I will meet them." "Why didn't you follow them?" "My two daughters are dead and buried here and you are still asking me a senseless question." Adaoh said with her hands in tight balls. Empress Rose opened her mouth to retort something back to Adaobi but Morgan spoke first. "I'm sorry for what my mother said. She didn't mean any of that. She is just surprised to see you here." Morgan quickly chips before his mother will say something and escalate the matter. "I'm sorry." Taking a deep breath. It's okay. Like I said I know where they are going so I will meet them. I just need to spend some time with my dead daughters," Adaoh said and stared pointedly at Empress Rose. "You would ha
❤️ Revelations (Part 1) ❤️Without wasting time, Storm ran up to meet him.With his free hand, he dodged Storm's attack and flew away from the spot holding onto Kira, both of them dangling mid-air. "Kill all of them, spare no one!" he ordered the five Edgardo's he had created. And he disappeared with Kira.The five Edgardo's fought against Kando, Cando, Emera and Morgan.Taking a deep breath he didn't chase after them, instead he bent them and picked up one of the swords of the undead armies, they were not dead he could sense it. Fred had put them in a deep sleep, but they are not his problems right now. The metal liquid once again entered the sword and without wasting time, he killed the five Edgardo's by cutting and burning their bodies afterwards he destroyed the tracing paper painting they came out from.Dragging a chair from the table, he turned the chair around so that it was facing the palace gate. He crossed his legs, closed his eyes."Won't you go after him? He took Juno with
❤️ The Final Battle And Victory ❤️Empress Rose screamed first when she saw the undead armies walking towards them. She saw her granddaughter and wanted to run and grab her away from the armies behind her but Morgan stopped her and shook his head."Can't you see what's happening mother? She is the one leading them." Morgan told his mother. "I think Storm is right, Fred is not who we think he is." he added a second later, letting go of his mother when he was sure she wouldn't run to meet his niece.The roars of the dragons above them made Empress Rose scream again and she fainted. Morgan who was beside her caught her before her body would reach the ground. Carefully he laid her down to the ground.Emera ran towards the room he had been staying in the Palace to fetch the sword. The sword given to him by Storm wasn't with him."So what do you plan to do? Kill all of us?" Storm asked. He was staring at each of the paintings besides Fred.Fred chuckled. "For you, yes. For the rest of them,
❤️ Unveiling The Truth (Part 2) ❤️The silence that followed was deafening that one could hear the sound the crickets were making far away."Impossible!" Empress Rose yelled out standing up, almost pushing the content on the table. "How dare you accuse my son of that? My son can never and will never be who you are referring to." she added in anger, directing it towards Storm."Fred is Edgardo." Storm repeated, not backing away from Empress Rose's angry glare. "I had a doubt at first on the night those assassins attacked me when I first came here that night and you killed one of them, the one I had let go. I could sense you close, your scent, but when I checked in your room you were there which made me think probably someone wanted to deceive me, so I give it to you, you are very good at hiding who you truly are." he added with a smirk. "But then again, what fully gave you away was when I and Edgardo fought back then in the cave and I noticed the mistake you made, just a single mistake
❤️ Unveiling The Truth ❤️Kira was confused. What other war Storm was talking about? The war they just finished had made her lose her two sisters."I don't understand you Storm, care to explain more?" Kira voiced out her thoughts. "What war are you talking about?" She asked.Storm turned to face her. Kira could see his eyes were red and puffing from crying. "The toughest war is coming Kira believe it or not, I can sense the change of the atmosphere. It's not good at all." he told her. "You said you want to fight, well then, sharpen your sword and get ready my love. I will be needing all the help I can." He added."I still don't get you Storm, the war is over, we fought and won so there is no need to start another war." Kira stated."I never said I was the one who will initiate the war Juno, but you will get to understand soon." Storm stated and without explaining any further more, he left her presence and headed for his room.Kira still could not understand what Storm meant but she wi
❤️ War And Death (Part 5) ❤️"I am so happy for you Gwen," Kira said to her with happy tears as she watched Gwen trying to hush her baby and was succeeding. It made her imagine she was Gwen and that was Storm's child with her. "I know you can do it, Sis." She added.Gwen smiled in return."She looks like you." Phoenix noted as she leaned forward to stare at the child in Gwen's arms. "She will be so beautiful when she grows up.""Thank you Auntie." Gwen uttered kissing her daughter on her forehead. "You can carry her if you wish." she added and gave her child to Phoenix who took her from her arms with care. Gwen still couldn't believe she has now become a mother. Two days ago she didn't think she would birth her daughter. If she was told back in the Garden of Edenis that she would meet Kando and have his child she would have laughed at that person face. Seeing Phoenix smiling down at her child glads her heart. She felt weak."I feel so weak Juno." she whispered at Kira."You will be fi
❤️ War And Death (Part 4) ❤️The Borderline of Altamon:The fight was frieced as Kando and Cando fought their way to meet Emera. Making sure they injure as little as they can, they almost got to where Emera was when unfortunately for Kando, he got blocked by Morgan."You know I can use this opportunity to kill you and tell Storm and Gwen that you died on the battlefield," Morgan said to Kando, killing one of the men that was from Kando's side in one swift move, "Actually that's a good idea." he added a second later."I don't have time for this nonsense. If you think you can defeat me then you don't know what you've signed up for." Kando told him. "Have you forgotten what I did to you when you tried this your stupidness or should I do that again? I bet you your mother is not here to help you get up and there is no wall behind you which will stop you from flying away from here forever." he reminded Morgan. "Focus on these ones you are managing to win and stay out of my path." he added a
❤️ War And Death (Part 3) ❤️"Pregnant?" Cando asked in shock and Kando nodded his head. "Who is responsible? I mean when did she leave here? When did I kidnap her? Was she pregnant when I brought her here? Who is responsible?" Cando rushed at his questions. When had he forcefully taken the girl his brother loved from Ashland?"I'm responsible for her pregnancy." Kando admitted."What if she had put the pregnancy on you? What if Morgan is the father." Cando told him. Maybe she did that to keep him by her side."No, it's not possible. The pregnancy isn't for Morgan. It's my child." Kando said. Morgan seeds wouldn't have formed a child within two days, it's highly impossible. Besides, Gwen would have told him if she slept with Morgan like she mistakenly did with Storm. "It's my child Cando." He affirmed"How do you even know that when, I don't know, her stomach is still flat?""That's where you are wrong, Gwen will give birth to my child soon. I just hope and pray it should be when the
