Stunned by the King's words, Nicolo is seemed to be nailed on the floor, unable to move. The words immensely affect his inner demon.
Painful realization dawned on him, he never gained the King's favor, and all these years he still sees him as a dumb boy. He already knew it but coming from the King's mouth hurt him more.The child in him who struggled to be accepted in the palace had resurfaced and it is blinding him from his present purpose. All he wanted to do is run and hide his pain. He will never be enough for the King or anyone. They still see him as a concubine's son, a bastard of some men before his mother become the King's woman. He struggled to belong but miserably failed all the time. He will never belong."Nicolo, son pull yourself" his mother's voice interrupted his line of dark thoughts. Pulling him from the verge of falling apart."You!" he bellowed and the next thing he does make Duke Jameson, Narrah, and the rest gasp.His fist landed on"Shut up, brat!" Utmost desperation reflects the sorcerer's faces as they struggle to control the weapon. Narrah's words added to their anger."What's happening? Kill them!" Nicolo raved impatiently. He saw them struggle but was not able to surmise the entire situation. They all waited, watching the sorcerers continue with their desperate struggle. Impatience reflects in Nicolo's and Victoria's faces."What are you doing?!" Victoria was exasperated while watching the two."My Lady...." one of them uttered."Stop playing and finish them" the woman ranted."It's...it's not... responding" they muttered at once, making Victoria and Nicolo glare at them."What do you mean, not responding?!" Nicolo bellowed angrily."We lost control of the weapons, my Lord. It won't move on our command. We tried all" dazedly, one of them spoke while staring at the frozen weapons in the air.Hearing him, everyone gaped, turning their blank gazes at the it
The horizon was swarmed by monsters charging towards the human territory. Looking at its massive size, it's more than the King's legion. Their crazed eyes spur spine-chilling fear. Creatures who are unafraid to kill and be killed. Compelled by greed and revenge they ride at full speed. Dying to taste human flesh between their fangs."Faster! Soon you will all feast with human flesh!" a voice thundered in their ears, fueling the strength in their paws."The humans have no idea we were coming. Before they realize, they have been slaughtered" the snickering voice continued."The human indeed made this plan possible" another one sneered."Yes, the idiot. He thought he could reign this land" sinister laugh erupted."No one will rule this land, but me. I will rule all worlds. Humans and beasts will bow on my feet" he continued."No one is more powerful than Tiberius" his laughter rumbled, responded by howls of his beasts."This will be the day I will collect m
He watched the chaos afar. Humans were miserably slaughtered by his armies. It was supposedly an easy slaughter if not for the arrival of their allies, his kind.Instead of being furious at the new help the humans have, he smirks watching the arrival of the troops. Everything is happening according to his plan. Humans and beasts in one place, giving him great opportunity in slaying them all. He watches them fight for their lives. He has the people he wanted to be in the spot. He fixed his eyes at the three huge wolves, ferociously slaughtering his pawns. "Powerful as before..." he muttered with a smirk."But you will not survive this time" he continued, slowly making his way towards the battlefield. Like lightning, he charged towards one particular beast, snarling its neck but failed."Still great reflexes, Alpha" he sneered."I know you would come out from hiding, Tiberius. It's about time" Tadeo retorted both rounding the ground, waiting for t
Strong wind envelopes the field, creating havoc from maintaining the warriors' ground. Narrah's body glows atop Midnight, levitating in the air, engulfed by the brightness blinding every eye. Tiberius whimpered and cowered from the sudden upheaval of the raging nature. But he stood his ground trying to withstand the realization, regaining his balance and focus.Despite his feeble chance, he stomped his feet to counter the forging force around. The ground continues to tremble, throwing some troops from their horses."Enough!" her voice roared. "Today, you will all reap my wrath" she hovered above the creatures. Despite her frightening look, Tiberius growled and howled fearlessly. Fueling the enthusiasm of his beasts to kill. Hungry for tasting the enemy's blood."I am ready. I waited long for this day to happen," he muttered before rocks and boulders floated in the air. Forcibly, it's all been hauled towards her and the others.Protecting N
"Father!!!" she saw him. She was sure it was him. She reined and made her stead gallop towards the direction of the man. Her eyes brimmed with tears as the figure becomes clearer, seeing his face.The man looked stunned but a wave of emotions flooded his face upon his realization. A painful lump appeared in his throat as he embraced the impact of the forging figure towards him.His body swayed atop his stead upon catching the frail figure who darted from another horse to his lap."Father..." she whimpered, burying her face to the man's neck."My Narrah, my little princess..." he tearfully whispered. Holding her closer, burying his face to her rose-scented hair while inhaling her scent.Sobs and whimper escaped the two as they hug in silence, relishing the presence of each other in their arms. Narrah clung tightly to her father, afraid to let go. Afraid she was just in a trance and he will vanish once she returned to her senses. "Narrah...oh my Narrah...is
After the confrontation, they all left for the palace. Those who are wounded and have been summoned from the verge of death were hauled by carriages. Healers have summoned a lot, narrowing the number of deaths. Those who were left lifeless were arranged to be buried. Scoundrels' carcasses will be burned, except for Tiberius. Alpha Tadeo brought the dead man with him upon returning to the human palace.As the entourage gets closer, cheers get louder. Everyone is waiting for their arrival, including the king.All dismounted from their horses and approach the man whose eyes were brimming with tears despite his intimidating aura. Silence ruled as the entourage approached."My King" Narrah curtsied while the others kneeled on one knee. A warrior's respect for the ruler of the land. Humans and beasts pay homage to the King."All rise, I should be kneeling to all of you" the King's voice quivered, looking around his loyal subjects even to those shirtless men.
"Mother!"She stiffened upon hearing a familiar voice amid the noise around her. Finding her, she looked around, and there she saw a white-haired girl waving at her atop some man's shoulder, which made her brows furrow. She could see her husband but a stranger got their child.Nudging her way to the tight crowd, she hurried towards them."I can see my son" a woman following her spoke."I could also see my daughter" she smiled, turning to the other woman before they both continue to walk."Mother, Mother!" Narrah darted to the approaching woman, immediately after she was put down."Narrah..." her arms outstretched to receive the charging girl towards her.Not long, she was enveloped by the tightest hug she could ever have."Mama..." she whimpered as her body shook from her sobs."My little doll... " she whispered tearfully. Not getting enough of her daughter's warmth, she buried her face on her hair, inhaling her scent, convincing he
After the uproar brought by the punishment of the King, the hall becomes silent after the traitors were taken out. Seeming to be drained of all his strength, the King slumped on his chair, resting his head on his propped hand."The kingdom will be safe" he muttered after a while."You can rule without fear for your back, King Fergus" Alpha Tadeo announced.Fergus chuckles and straightens on his seat. Only those who were close to the King were left in the hall, giving a more relaxing atmosphere. "And I owe it to all of you" the King declared, looking around the council's table where they were all seated."My King..." Narrah softly called."Yes Ahrah..." he smiled at the girl being held by an intimidating man."I hope this is a perfect time. But I bear a gift for you from the Kalani" she softly continued, getting everyone's attention.Fergus narrows his eyes, staring at Narrah before it averted towards Tadeo. "A gift? From Inanna?"
