last update Last Updated: 2021-03-05 08:04:02

The dungeon’s heavy gate was already visible when Keith suddenly remembered something.

“The tattooed warriors also came. They should be waiting.”

Wulfric just raised his eyebrow at Keith. The situation in the Kingdom may really be serious. The magnitude of the attack was small but how it was executed was very sophisticated. This means a lot more is at stake.

“They sneaked in the dungeon right before you arrived. The chieftain posted warriors at the gate. He is waiting for you to start questioning Ember.”

Keith shuddered as he recalls goosebumps on his arms watching the mystic warriors appear one after the other in this darkened underground. Though they are known to be the protectors of the land, he cannot help the cold feeling that creeps on his back whenever he meets one.

Wulfric smirked noticing Keith’s shiver.

“Do you remember the first time you met- “

Then she heard a shriek.She opened her eyes in a slow manner, adjusting to the light. Her vision is still a little blurry from the fall. But saw no one.

She wriggled to move her body to the other side but something is holding her firm. Is there an earthquake?Earthquake had been common in recent years and she’s not surprised if one is happening right now. Only that can cause this bed of hers to rock.

    At the center, Luna saw a group of people. Seven were women. Each one possesses extreme beauty and tall. They wore flowing dresses each a different color from the other. Their hair glowing, their skin pale and luminescent. Gems adorned their head. Some shaped like flowers, others like teardrops. They were so richly dressed. The air around them was filled with arrogance and royalty.Talking, or rather arguing with them are much taller men, garb in the same richly manner as the beauties. However, it was evident that the men were much older than the women. They have long beards hangingfrom their faces. Same luminescent skin but lined with age.

    Across the kingdom.Under the heat of the rising sun, General Wolf rode into the Eastern Post. His imposing figure on top of Beast drew blatant stares.The general, though fearsome, is a presence akin to salvation and relief in a battlefield. Him, arriving at this time of unrest brought a sense of security to the affected villagers.Whispers began to spread of Wulfric's arrival as soldiers met him. In the forefront is Keith, who was bent on one knee with his head bowed in respect; looking exhausted, clearly from an eventful night of chasing enemies.Reigning Beast to a stop, Wulfric got off and handed the reigns to a waiting stable boy. Then immediately demanded from Keith the situation."Tell me.""The remaining villagers had all been accounted for and those slain were prepared for burial. Unfortunately, we lost a few warriors, two of them were shadow messengers."Keith had to take a momentary pause to compose himself from the emotio

    Looking like evil villains in a horror movie, the two princes continued to engage in an awkward laughter. After a while, Luna’s amusement turned into a shudder. When both showed no signs of stopping, Luna bravely intervene.“Cough… I think that’s enough…Please stop.” Upon hearing Luna, the guests immediately stilled mid-laugh and shifted their probing orbs on her. And in unison said, “As you wish princess.”Luna was relieved but would probably have nightmares when remembering the strange sound."Okay, you guys haven't answered any of my questions. Who are you? How did you get in here?" She would probably regret later, staying and talking with them instead of running away. But at that moment, Luna’s curiosity was piqued by these creatures. She needs to know why they risked coming just to meet her."Our apologies, Princess Luna, Royal Princess of the Kingdom of Con

    Luna woke up early the next morning feeling restless. Shifting in her bed, she gazes upon the conch left by General Wolf. He must have arrived at the post by now. Getting up, Luna picked-up the shell and placed the opening close to her ears. The sound of the waves can be heard at first followed by the baritone voice of the general. It was all instructions for what she needed to work on. Including the fact that Commander Ortho will supervise her training. Puffing air out of her mouth, she jumped back on the bed, enjoying a little more lazy-time.

    After General Wolf left, Princess Lamea remained unmoving on her throne. Pondering the events that happened; from her father’s death, Luna’s existence and the attacks that lead to this day.She is beginning to suspect that everything is connected.Before her father died, Lamea recalled, he had been adamantly on guard around her. Though he had never let Lamea freely read all his thoughts; the blocks were never that obvious as on the days leading to his death.It was clear that he was hiding something from her. Thinking hard, Lamea tried to recall any incident from the last time her father came back from the human realm, that may give her a clue.But aside from that one occasion he told them about Luna and her mother, nothing comes to mind.“What am I missing…?” she keeps on murmuring, repeatedly drumming her index finger on the throne. On it was a ring made of pure gold, inlaid with small diamonds. It’s wide and

    The General was guessing it would take a while for Princess Lamea to come. Thus, he did not expect to see her waiting for him as soon as he entered the room.There were no guards visible around. An indication that the princess had dismissed them and does not wish anyone to overhear their conversation."Something is amiss."Her grim countenance in full display, the moment he arrived. Her words though softly spoken still echoed along the walls of the empty throne room.Wulfric was about to kneel and genuflect. However, Princess Lamea waived her hand in dismissal and instead urged him to come closer."It is only the two of us, Wulfric. No need for formalities. Now, tell me.”"Yes, Princess Lamea. After moonrise today, an attack to the Eastern border caught our soldiers by surprise.""The Elite Guards of Grendlar? Are you certain?" Her brows creased in contemplation.Wulfric did not have to voice out his affirmative response.
