****************Dylan's POV*****************I felt the ground moving, no, I think it felt like am inside a moving container, and who are these in the black cloak and dark blue garments, they hover around me and make some earsplitting sounds, "Why do I I feel this burning sensation? are those Empusa covens? had they come back to end me finally?" those were the question running through my mind.My eyes were too heavy to stay open, so I close them again. I found myself in total darkness, I walk around the darkness, I knew I was walking in circles but I could not give up. My body or would I rather say, my soul work on its own, my zeal and mind were not connected to it, I could only see myself in his eyes or myself in myself, and I had no idea of where I am. I look at my hands they were very tiny, "I'm already an adult why am I in my ten-year-old body." I wondered.I walked, then suddenly far away, I saw a dim light under a tree. joyfully, ten years old I ran towards it.I can recogni
Marek visits the prince resident and met Casper giving instructions to the other servant, "Where is the prince?" he asked. "He is in his chamber," he said. Marek walks up the stairs to the prince's chamber, He knocks at the door of the chamber, Casper had already informed Dylan about Marek's presence. "Come in," Dylan said. He went inside and bowed slightly, Dylan's chamber was neat and well-furnished. You could tell he was a neat freak as everything was well arranged. Dylan had his back to him, he look calm and collected staring out of the window of his chamber. "what do you want?" Dylan asked. "How are you feeling, my prince?" Mark asked. Dylan moves from the window to the armchair in his bedroom, he sits on it and crossed his legs. "Cut to the chase, Marek, I know you are not here to ask about my health," he said frowning. Marek could not comprehend the reason for his attitude towards him. "Dylan......" He furrowed his brows at Marek which made him lose trails of his wo
Lucien has been in bed for the past three days, he woke up with pain all over his body. "Water" he whispered, but there was nobody besides him, Only he was in his humongous chamber.With all the strength left in him and with shaky legs, he moves to the side of his bed as he struggles to get on his feet, he winces from the sharp pain in his groin, but he ignored it, all he wants now is water. He had been extremely thirsty and had since not drunk any water for days. Luckily for Lucian, he saw a jar of water on his bed counter. His dry throat rejoices as he immediately dawns a cup in one gulp. He rang the bell and his servant came running into his chamber, he got up and took his bath after which he got dressed and went to his study. He had thought that Dylan would be by his side when he woke up, he was disturbed when he asked and was told that Dylan didn't come around to see him. Memories of the woods came flooding down his brain, tears flowed freely down his face. The pain he felt th
on his way out of the Alpha king's palace, Marek ran into Kingu. He slightly bowed to him. "Beta, I've got some disturbing news" "Let me hear it," Marek said. "Empusa sent a war message to us, she's commanding an army of twenty thousand warriors," Kingu said straining his last words. Marek's expression was stone cold as he furrowed his brows, he could not in any way believe that Empusa could gather an army of ten thousand let alone twenty thousand. "Where did she get the warriors from and how and when was she able to gather them!?" that was the only question Marek could bring himself to ask. "We don't know yet, most of the towns close to the mountain had been under constant onslaught these past two days," Kingu said. Marek now had a sad look on his face. "So far, how many villages?" he asked. "Six villages, Beta." Marek was silent for a while. So, she has started making her move, If it is true that Empusa had twenty thousand warriors, this meant that some of the supernatura
In his residence, Dylan was preparing to go see Lucian in his chamber, he thought the alpha king would come to him with questions about why he had cremated their mother but he didn't, "is he still sick," he wondered. He shivers at the thought of it "no, Lucian isn't the type to stay in bed, he's strong" he said to himself. Dylan plans to go and question Lucian about what he will do about the invitation to war against Empusa. Since the day the desert sorceress and the physician told him he could manage and train, Dylan had been training and now he's confident in himself. he heard the alpha king never left his study nor his residence since they both came back from the woods and he had turned down meeting and granting anyone audience, he kept to himself and always find justifications for postponing them, while chaos had spread across the woods only some spots are left out.When he got to the residence of the alpha king, the two guards cross their spears and won't let him go through."I
Overwhelmed in rage, Dylan went back to his chamber. He instructed Casper to prepare a small dish and wrap it up, he gave him a vague answer about their journey. "I will avenge mother's death," Dylan said with renewed vehemence, Dylan and his head servant will set out with a big bag containing their needs, to say Dylan had never had the experience of traveling independently, he had never stepped foot out of the capital alone unlike Lucian that had visited all the kinds leader in their kingdom before ascending the throne. He will take Casper with him, "My prince, where are we headed?" Dylan stood close to the window with his back to Casper, as he enjoy the serene environment of the palace exterior. "When we get there, you will know," Dylan said. "I do not mean to be rude but, my prince, you have never traveled out of the capital alone, how come you know exactly where we are headed?" Casper's question was so full of doubt."You are welcome to stay back here without me," Dylan said.
The palace hall was filled with supernatural dignitaries, they all stood up immediately after the alpha king's herald announced the king's arrival.Lucian enter the hall and everyone went silent, only the sound of his step could be heard, he wore a dark black leather jacket with his gold color cloak, and his very long jet-black hair and his smooth oval-shaped face made his look so perfect. he wore an expressionless face, and his aura was not one to miss as he majestically walked up to his throne. they bow to him at this time and waited till he sat back on his throne, Lucian gestured to them to sit, and they all sat back on their seat.Queen Ina of the wooden Elf, is said to be a hundred years old but she still looks as young as a lady in her teen, her dark brown hair Which she didn't bother tying up was long and silky, and she had a deep almond shaped brown color set of eyes, the deep brown eyes and hair signify the kind of Elf and they're presumably habitat. like the water elf had oc
"How can we trust you with our protection?" someone in the crowd asked."Without your wolf, how can you protect us?" another said."We are doomed!" "Silence!" Marek yelled.and everyone quiets down.Lucian has no luxury of time to explain himself to anyone."I can't answer all your question because all you all need now are not empty words, you need actions and that's all you all are going to get from me," Lucian said.He could tell that his people were a little bit at peace with his words as most of them no longer have a grim expressions on their faces."I promise you, here and now that I will fight with the last ounce of blood in my body to protect this realm," Lucian said with his hands on his chest."We trust in you, oh our alpha king!" the general warriors and soldiers supported Lucian with a few encouraging praises, and the rest of the dignitaries repeated after them.Lucian motioned to Marek and he went running to him. he whisper to him some inaudible words, then Marek went ahe
