Amren Slowly walked in the middle of three women she hadn't seen before while Hilda was in front of them.Amren kept looking around as she moved in her stylish green princess gown that was made of thick clothes, which flowed on the red carpeted floor.It was a bit heavy for her as she moved from the chamber she was in and almost gasped at the spacious, beautiful hallway that was covered in art and other monuments along the way.The roof was high which made the ceiling very far from the floor, Amren walked along with the women who stood at her sides, one at the left and two at the right-hand side.She was walking with both hands in front of her, she placed one on top of the other.There were so many things she hadn't come to terms with, things like how her hair color suddenly changed from black to Silver.The silver hair was touching her waistline and that was how long it was, she was now silver-headed.Her skin was becoming even lighter and she felt like a mundane, her skin now glitte
Days passed, weeks and months, Amren was still in the palace in Orlock, reading from one book to another, Hilda made sure she learned every single book written by a witch.Spell books and how to control her powers, she also started training with other witches, at first it was hard to adapt but as time went on, she slowly started to blend well with her surroundings and the people around her.They accepted her and as well respected her, her hair was increasingly growing and the silver became even more shiny as her skin was glittering, she was so beautiful.Hilda kept bringing books from the library to Amren's chamber and left them on top of the table for her to read.Amren would groan and grumble about it but ended up reading everything.And this very day, Amren was wearing a thin black gown, she was laying on her bed, her small figure was curled up under the thick layer of cloth, and she was reading a book titled "Clash of The Witch's Community "She was so engrossed with it because it
A knock soon came from the door which jolted Amren out of her Reverie, she quickly hid the paper underneath her pillow as she sat upright.Just then, a maid walked into the room and bowed "My Lady, dinner is served and everyone is waiting for you downstairs " "Everyone?" She asked bewildered, it was either she and Hilda who ate or sometimes she ate alone when Hilda wasn't around."Yes my lady, we have some guests with us this day," She said, lowering her head."Okay, Go" Amren waved her off and the maid bowed before walking out of the room.Amren didn't think of who these guests might be as she quickly went into her inner room to get dressed.Though Orlock was now a civilized community as she could see horses and cars around, they didn't change their old dressing styles for Royals.She was made to wear heavy gowns even during meal hours.Amren grabbed a gown from the rank of dresses that was hung there and wore the sunny color dress, it wasn't so thick due to the weather.She grabbed
Walking into the hall,Hilda noticed the stiff atmosphere between The smiling Amren and the solemn Miguel cervenka."We are done,can I return to my chambers now?" Amren said to Hilda who spoke up "Why not walk them to the front door?? They are about leaving anyways"Amren didn't say a word after that,Hilda smiled at Miguel who had a dull look on his face,Hilda knew things fell out of track from his expression but she asked nevertheless "Did you enjoy your tour around the palace??" Miguel cleared his throat "yes I did,I am grateful my lady " turning to his parents "Mom,Dad let's go"Amren smiled incredulously within her as she watched Hilda as she frantically walked behind them as she kept trying to form conversations with Miguel who suddenly turn mute.After seeing them off,Amren turn to return back to her room when Hilda called out to her,she had expected it though."You are well aware of what I am about to ask you,what transpired between you and the general's son?""General's son? W
In a festive palace, crowds swim into the vast compound as the streets are filled with people in different colorful attires.The roads were well-tiled and smooth, people moving with horses, some were walking by foot, carrying baskets and boxes of food and fruits, and some people were in cars.Along the road, people moved towards the main palace of King Cassian Von Vendela.It was the wedding ceremony of Prince Thibor, the third prince, he was to get married to a vampire princess of one of the generals, the general of the East's daughter.The people came from all regions, men of high levels, and nobles from the four regions swam to the palace.The general from Norwood which was located in the east, smiled as he sat on one of the rows of chairs in the vast hall that was decorated with different designs, the whole hall was filled with men and women of honor.The general of Merula and Hallway which was located in the southern and Western Region respectively, were also there.It was a very
"Have we suddenly gained a little thief inside the palace of King Cassian?" The man asked amusingly as he eyed the petite woman who pressed her back on the door."What were you doing in the storeroom??" He asked while a roguish smile danced on his lips.Amren couldn't say a word,she was just staring at the face of the man,her words cut in her throat as she found herself lost in those brown eyes that were so familiar.He was wearing a thin white sleeve and black pants, it seemed the royals in this place wore casual wear unlike the royals back in Orlock.His eyes were roaming on her body and she wasn't so comfortable with that look.Rhysand smirked "I could overlook your small act of theft because one you are pretty and second, you are my type of woman "A frown immediately settled on Amren's face "Are you flirting with me??" She groaned.A sudden flash of amusement passed Rhysand's face as he said "You must be new here since you do not know my position in this palace, well I'll pardon
"Yes-yes my lord," She said, suppressing the pain.He nonchalantly swept his gaze around the party where men and women were having fun, Amren served him a glass of wine and he took it from her.He watched her go to sit in the next seat close to her "Are you married?" His question caught Amren off guard as she gritted her teeth "Yes"Rhysand smirked "What will be the price if I steal you away from your husband so you can keep serving me??" Amren raised a brow at him "He's quite possessive " she retorted."Not as possessive as I am tho, I always get what I want," he said as a matter of fact.Amren felt rather amused "Why do you want me?" Rhysand dropped his legs from the table "I don't want you, I wanna steal you to my side" Amren furrowed her brows "You don't want me, you wanna steal me??"Rhysand smirked "From your expression earlier and how you seem to be so lost whenever you look in my eyes, your husband must not be as handsome as I am for you to melt when looking at me, and..."
"What the heck are you doing here??" The man asked immediately he let go of Amren.Amren's eyes were clouded as she tried to catch her breath, she gazed at him with wide eyes as she muttered "You?"Nektarios or rather Mateo smirked at Amren "West, what the hell happened to you? Why are are here? How'd you know this place?? How come?"Amren snorted "You all disappeared into thin air""That wasn't the anticipated answer to my question " Nektarios frowned "How did you come to know about Hagrid?? Humans can't find their way here""And why should I tell you that?" Amren bellowed at Nektarios while storming her feet to the ground in anger, she almost exploded "Lincoln or should we call him, Rhysand??? Left without a word!" She snapped at him.Mateo kept quiet as Amren kept ranting "That still hasn't answered my question, how did you know about this place?? " his suspicion raising.Amren kept mute for a while, she grunted before saying "You must have already known about my identity "Mateo i
"Let the heavens and the earth bear us witness. The heavens as executors, the earth as eye witness to this peace treaty between Vampires and Witches" King Cassian shouted, addressing the crowds, the king was standing in front of the hall's balcony, the crowds were massive, all from every part of Hagrid, in the middle of the crowds was a space that maintained the barrier, vampires at the right-hand side while the captured witches were on the left-hand side.The witches were not as many as the number of vampires there, but they were many.They were told about this treaty, the oldest wizard there, the father of Miguel Cervenka led the witches, and Miguel was amongst the crowd of captured witches and wizards.Some were not in support of this peace treaty but they had no choice but to swear the oath of allegiance after Cervenka,Miguel's father, summoned their goddess and The Vampires prayed to the heavens and their past kings."This peace treaty shall be passed down from our generation to
"Do not spite my dead son, I won't accept that!" Hugo growled."How did you think your son died?? he was working for a witch, I was there to witness it and Kyle and Mateo were also there" Rhysand rolled his eyes "That is to show that some vampires who think have egos are sort of worthless without pride....but that's not what I am here for" Hugo staggered backward while the king gazed at him with a piercing look "What do you suggest we do Rhysand""Let's form a long-lasting treaty that will bond the two sides so they can never break the agreement "Lord Drogo cleared his throat "How are we sure this will work? We can't control them with just written words on a scroll that can get torn over time"Viscount Magnus Lestat twitched his mouth a bit "That's why he suggested a huge wall that can stand as significant agreements between the worlds and also an oath of allegiance""I think it's a good idea then" Lord Drogo acknowledged.Some also whispered amongst themselves in agreement on the m
Walking into the hall of King Cassian Von Vendela, Rhysand and Mateo entered to see the lords gathered there.King Cassian frowned "Rhysand why did you hold this meeting and come late?" He asked.Rhysand had called for this meeting a while ago when he got to the palace and now it was commencing."My lord" he acknowledged, not bowing as he walked straight to the front of the king.Lord Drogo was seated in the very first seat close to the King's throat, lord Armand,lord Molocbai, Viscount Magnus Lestat, Lord Vittorio, and Emiel Velkan were there with so many other lords.They were all wearing blue robes with golden embodiments on them, their hair was long and close to their waistline, and they backed it in a bun.Rhysand's gaze wept to Prince Ollivander who was sitting on the right-hand's throne close to the king. Sensing his gaze on him, Prince Ollivander adjusted nervously on his seat while averting his gaze elsewhere.Prince Thibor was sitting amongst the lords, sitting close to the
"Am I the only one who heard that??" Rhysand asked ridiculously and Mateo and Kyle walked over to the bed "That sound came from her""Call the Physician Kyle" Rhysand bubbled in delight.Soon the Physician Was checking Amren, she placed a hand on her neck, and her face remained bland as she concentrated on her diagnosis.Rhysand and Mateo including Kyle couldn't seat still, Rhysand had both hands folded on his chest, his eyes remained on the physician, waiting for him to make the news.Rhysand felt his hands were covered in sweat as he sat there nervously, after a while, the physician turn to look at them."Well...Prince Rhysand""I'd appreciate it if you go straight to the point" Rhysand cut through as he asked, his eyes resting on Amren's body."Yes, Was it just us or...did it happen? we heard that sound from her " Kyle backed up Rhysand's words.Mateo remained quiet as he just waited for what was to come.The room had its tension as the air hung up, It was as if it was closing in o
"I was thinking of letting the king know of Rhysand's passing, it's been five days now" Kyle suggested as they both walked into the house.The living room was quite as usual as they made their way to the small stair and ascended it,"Just keep mute Kyle" Mateo groaned out in displeasure, his face was stoic as he knocked on the door but didn't hear a sound.Kyle was standing behind him with a pouty face "Let's just go in, maybe she's probably sleeping" Kyle concurred."What if she's dressing up?" "She would have answered" Kyle argued back."I do not have the time to bicker or banter words with you" Mateo interjected but Kyle had already held the doorknob and pushed the door open.The smell of smoke first hit their nose before their eyes scanned the room.Such enough, Rhysand was still in the bed but Amren was nowhere in sight.Their eyes scanned the room as they made their way into the room, Mateo laid his eyes on the table and they quickly walked over to see the items on it, Kyle mad
"Prince Rhysand hasn't returned to the palace for days now" King Cassian Asked Hugo who nodded."Did he perhaps find out that you know he did that?" The king inquired."I sent the body to the old Physician my lord," Hugo said quietly, his both hands folded "She did a test on his body and found that he was indeed killed not by vampire claws but by a witch"King Cassian frowned "you mean, Rhysand didn't kill Caine? But a witch?" Hugo sighed "I do not know how this whole thing came about, Rhysand has always hated Caine to the core and that's the very reason he had Caine banned from the human world and sentenced to Crege where Caine saw death face to face " King Cassian relaxed his back on the chair "I know Rhysand isn't that stupid to do that to you or Caine, he can get Caine punished not killed" "My lord, then who is this witch?" Hugo asked."Feyre?" The king asked instead and Hugo shook his head "We have destroyed the whole clan of witches and their community ""Then we have no othe
Just like that, Amren was living in the house Rhysand had kept her, his body laid on his bed as they used incense to keep his body warm.It has been two days and he's still not responding or making an attempt to wake and the hopes within Amren crumbled even more.The doctor has confirmed that he was dead as he was stabbed by that witch's sword that contains deadly magic and poisons.But somewhere within couldn't settle for that, she had always seen him as a strong man that couldn't fall, he was untouchable and strong.He couldn't die.Amren wept close to his body "Rhy....please wake up and I promise you won't be hurt for a second time, I know how to use my magic now and I'll protect you, your mom is no more so she can't hurt you, I failed you.... I failed to keep you safe but rather brought you closer to your death, I'm sorry" Her eyes were red and swollen.Soon, Mateo and Kyle came in, they both looked thinner just like Amren who hadn't been able to eat anything for days as she kept
All strength in her faded off, her soul lost its very essence, Amren's heart clenched on her chest, her blurred eyes looking at the lifeless man in her arms.Words couldn't form in her throat, the pain numbed her that she had no actions left to perform, no words to speak out, and all her brain cells were too short to process a thing.The pain made her lips quiver, her hands grow cold, and Amren felt like a lost thing.The whole room bore tension and Amren felt the cave was closing in on her, her face twisted in pain before she burst out.All the pain she had been holding in until now, she let them out as her ear-piercing cry ran out of her throat, hoping for the cry to lessen the pain she was feeling in her heart.For it to reduce the weight of hate in her heart, and for it to cleanse the memories of how Rhysand died in front of her."Argh" Mateo and Kyle couldn't retract their gazes, their eyes numb as they turned red."Is that Brother Rhysand?? Mateo, this can't be true right? It's
"Have you discovered Rhysand's whereabouts?" Hugo asked the guard before him but he shook his head "Not yet."Hugo balled his fists "Keep searching and be more proficient ""Yes sir" he bowed before leaving to find Rhysand's whereabouts.Hugo's eyes narrowed to the far distance "I'll get you Rhysand " ••••Meanwhile, inside the cave, The once quiet place was now filled with tension, They had initially thought it was just Feyre but it turned out several witches were also there with her.Rhysand killed two of the witches with his bare hands but the others kept using their magics to outrun them.Amren Watched on with dread, her eyes following Rhysand's every move, alerting him when a witch was close to striking him, her heart drumming heavily in her rib cage, hoping he would come out unscathed.Feyre was rather aggressive, she had injured Rhysand a few times with the multiple blades sent his way, she summoned blades at him, and they pierced his chest, cutting him roughly but the part
