Hello everyone. Hope you are enjoying the story. I know the updates are slow because of my health issues. I hope to get well soon. Thanks for bearing with me *heart*
[Amor’s POV]Nyx Scythe? Like the grim reaper’s scythe?“How do you know about the scythe?” Kaltain asked.“Do you really think all I had been doing in the past few years was play hide and seek with you and your lord? The magic that was used to bring night to this world wasn’t dark magic, even though it included living sacrifices. It was a curse. And Nyx Scythe is the only weapon gifted to the sorcizens by the god of death himself. That weapon can cut through and tear apart any curse…”Kaltain broke into laughter. “You are such a clown. To use the scythe to cut through a curse, you need to provide more mana to the scythe than the mana that was used to being that curse to life.”“I know.”He laughed even louder. “And you think you can pull that off? Even clowns know when to stop kidding around. That’s not even funny anymore.”“Remind you, Kaltain. The curse that your lord put on this world isn’t complete yet. The second sacrifice is still left and if I succeed in cutting through this a
[Amor’s POV]I could see myself sleeping on a bed in a room royally decorated in the typical vampire colours and aesthetics. Aria, Ez, and vampire doctors were all around my body on the bed.My mask was long gone. They were wiping my body, dipping white cotton rugs in the iced water. “What has happened to him?” Ez asked. “A werewolf’s body shouldn’t be this hot, right?” He looked worried. “Indeed, king. But we cannot find the cause of his condition. His wounds were normal and have healed already. He should have gained consciousness by now,” the doctor said.I was seeing them from the corner of the ceiling. It was then I realised that I was floating. I looked at myself and my hands were translucent yellow.‘Wait! Did I die?’ I panicked, but then looked at my body on the bed again and my body was breathing. ‘Is it what people call out-of-body experience? Maybe I suffered a concussion.’I looked around, and Zeve wasn’t there. ‘Right! What happened to Kaltain and Zeve’s fight? Who won?’
[Amor’s POV]“Is it what I am thinking it is?” Rage said, fluttering around Zeve’s hand, holding the key.“Yes, it is. The key to Derek’s underground palace,” Zeve said. “The place he so desperately wanted to erase from everyone’s memories that he built the main palace of the Elvira family over it.”“That is why you destroyed the Ichor palace?” Laila asked.“Yes,” Zeve said. “Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go inside the underground palace,” Lily said excitedly.Zeve’s legs were literally shivering from exhaustion.‘No, let her rest,’ I said, grabbing the attention of the dragon fairies. ‘Tell her to go back to safety, get her wounds treated, and rest before proceeding further.’Lead nodded. “I think you should rest before…”“No need,” Zeve said, getting on her feet. “All of you, get back in my veins and rest. I don’t have time to waste.”‘No! Zeve! Don’t be an imbecile. You are in no condition to keep going like this. Holy goddess! The time taken to rest and reboot oneself is no
[Zeve’s POV]When the dragon fairies told me about how they could see Amor as a glowing yellow light, I understood something was going on with him. They told me that Amor wanted me to rest before doing anything further, so I went where Ez and others were. As soon as I saw Aria’s guilty face, I understood she had done something. She told me everything that happened in Arginieth and also about Amor’s unstable condition.I couldn’t believe that all that time Amor had been around me and I was so preoccupied with executing my plan that I didn’t even notice his presence. To save my mana for fighting Mayavi and Kaltain, I didn’t even create my spy butterflies. Maybe I should have done that, but I had no time to regret.I rushed to the room where Amor was with Ez and the doctors.They had made him lie on a bed of ice, but even that was melting, as if Amor’s body was hotter than the red heated iron.I touched Amor’s body and tried to read his recent memories, but I didn’t get any clue why his
[Zeve’s POV]His words set my whole body on fire. His leg parted my legs. My body arched away from the wall. He gripped my hips. “How did you go through your heats during this time, Zeve?” He asked, licking two of his fingers and running them gently over my folds. “Have you been touching yourself or did you get some—”“Amor! How could you even say such a thing?” I was filled with an excruciating rage. How could he say something like that in a moment like this?“What I was going to say was, did you get some medicine to stop your heats, but I think my wife thought of a completely different thing, hmm?”“Don’t play with me. I know what you were going to say. Did I let someone else touch me? No, I didn’t. No matter how desperate I am… if it’s not you, I will repel every other man in this universe. What about you? Did you get yourself someone to get you through your ruts, or did you go to the courtesan court?” I asked daringly.He entered his fingers inside me and I tried to close my leg
[Zeve’s POV]“Do you want to meet Ez?” I asked. We went back to Ez’s castle.“Not really,” Amor said.He hugged me from behind while I buttoned my shirt. He helped me button up my shirt. “I know you hate vampires, but Ez is different. Trust me, if you meet him and get to know him, you will understand that his vision is ages ahead…”“I know how much he likes you. If you keep praising him like this, I will get jealous,” he said, licking my neck. I shuddered as he nuzzled against my nape.I turned around and looked at Amor. “How did you know?”He pulled me in roughly and kissed from my throat to my cleavage. “I didn’t mean to witness your romantic time together with him, but things kind of led to it…”“Then I hope you also heard my reply…” I gasped as he picked me up in his hands, made me wrap my legs around his waist, and pinned me against the wall.“Of course, your polite rejection saved his life that day,” he said, peering at my lips.I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him.
[Zeve’s POV]I set off with Aria to the Ichor palace’s ruins. There were already several of Ez’s vampire soldiers and Aria’s team on the site. Some were taking care of the debris and others were digging out precious items from it and Aria’s team was looking for the door that could lead us to Derek’s underground palace.The problem was the magic around that palace that didn’t allow me to enter it through teleportation. There was definitely something that Derek wanted to hide from everyone, and maybe the Nyx scythe was there, too.Through Mayavi’s memories attached to the key, I came to know about the door that could allow me to enter Derek’s personal palace. There, I was also expecting to find some clue about who had Derek reincarnated into.
[Zeve’s POV]“Check mate,” Amor said.“Oh man! I lost again!” Ez ruffled his hair, looking at the chess pieces in front of him.Amor sat leisurely, folding his hand across his chest.“You are only concentrating on your strategies, but you should also be able to comprehend what your opponent is thinking and then make probabilities. Chess is a lot more than just being good with your pieces. You will win once you can play the game not just with your pawns, but with the pawns of your opponent as well.”Ez dropped his head on the table. “All my life was a lie. I want a refund from life.”Amor laughed. “Keep playing. One
