NOELLE'S POV,

The next morning Holly and I leave early before anyone else wakes up. Holly looks hangover and doesn't say much.

I call Thorn through our mind connection and climb on his back.

''Try to keep up,'' Holly says and she takes out her wings and shoots into the sky.

''Let's go, boy,'' I say to Thorn, and he lifts off with a big jump. His big golden wings take us high into the sky within seconds. Holly takes us high above the clouds and seems to be in a hurry. It takes us 4 hours of flying to get to the Sky Realm. When we arrive I see nothing at first. We get to a barrier of dark clouds and bad weather; it seems like there is no way through. Holly stops in front of the barrier and whispers something I can't hear. Then there is a hole in the barrier and Holly quickly flies through it. Thorn puts his wings close to his body and shoots after her.

In the Barrier it is dark, and I hear thunder everywhere. When the Barrier ends it is suddenly quiet and ligh

    NOELLE'S POV,At 5 o'clock sharp I stand outside the castle waiting for Magister Ember. My mood is not great when I think about the fight I had with Holly yesterday. Hopefully, I can see her tonight and clear the air.Magister Ember arrives and she nods to me. I walk to her and take her hand without saying anything. I am not really in the mood for talking. The whole morning, we practice perfecting my ice and snow magic and after a few hours, I have mastered it as perfect as the magister herself. We eat some sandwiches in silence for lunch and then continue.The magister looks at me calculating, ''I think we should try making some storm and thunder. You seem to be in the perfect mood for it. Storms and especially lightning are difficult to master. The only one with full lightning control in all the Realms is King Gabriel. To make a storm you have to go to the darkest corner of your mind. Feel your anger and let it all flow out in form of a storm.''I nod to her to

    NOELLE'S POV,The next couple of days consist mainly of magic training with magister Ember. I can now produce storms and master wind, water, snow, and ice magic. I also spend some time looking at Holly training the warriors of the Sky Realm. The angel warriors are like one machine working together. Their movements go in sync at the same time, and they are all extremely skilled in combat. Combine that with the ability to fly and you have a deadly army.Holly told me they have been trained since they were 6 years old which is why they are so impressive. The warriors seem to have great respect for Holly so I wonder how good of a warrior she must be.Today is my last training day and tonight we fly back to Liberum with the whole Sky Realm army with us. I have asked Holly if it won't be a risk to bring them to Liberum. But Holly assured me that Gabriel and Zeus have been working on more protective spells to make sure Liberum is not traceable. They even think it will make H

    HADES HIS POV,It is midnight in the Under Realm when a dark human enters the throne room. He bows in front of the throne where a big man sits. The man is wearing a black cloak all the way to his ankles. His skin is as white as paper and around his middle, there is a belt made of bones. He has long black nails and his face is hollow. His eyes are deeply sunken in his skull and surrounded by black skin. On his head, he has 2 horns that make him look like a combination between a goat and a human.He looks at the dark human with glowing red eyes full of hate.''State your business, don't waste my time,'' he barks at the dark human. The dark human keeps his head down while he answers, ''The sky army has disappeared my lord.''Hades stands up furious, ''What do you mean disappeared?''The dark human trembles, ''One moment they were there and the other moment they were gone, sir.''Hades all of the sudden sits down calmly again, ''It doesn't matter.

So, I decide to look for Faith and see if she has some time to start my healing magic training. I find Faith in the kitchen instructing the cooks on all the food they should make for the festival.''Hej Faith, do you have a moment?''Faith takes her eyes off her list, ''Yeah of course. What's up?''I look around the kitchen which seems to be in control. ''I was wondering if you maybe have time for a bit of healing magic teaching. Maybe I can help you with something in return?''Faith takes a moment to think, ''Mmm I suppose I would have an hour to spare if you go get all the drinks from the shop.''I nod eagerly, ''Yes of course.''Faith gives me a list, ''Here is the list. I will meet you at the pool in 30 minutes.''She quickly continues talking to the cooks. I hurry to

    GABRIEL'S POV,Gabriel feels his hands get all sweaty and his breathing quickens when Noelle walks towards him. He can't take his eyes off her. She couldn't have picked a better dress for the starlight festival because she looks like the brightest star of them all. The dress follows her body so that her whole silhouette is visible. You can see her long lean legs through the fabric and the glitters show off her hourglass shape. On her breasts, there are not that many glitters which leaves little to the imagination.He holds out his hand and she puts her hand in his when he leads her to the dance floor. The band starts to play a romantic ballad and he pulls Noelle close to him. He whispers in her ear, ''I always think you can't get any more beautiful, but you keep surprising me.'' He can feel her smile when she puts her cheek against his while they dance.The rest of the night they have fun with Faith, Zeus, Nolan, and Holly. They all dance together and enjoy the food and

I have a bad feeling about this,'' I say anxiously.The ground begins to shake, and hundreds of dark humans seem to emerge from the forest. I see fear in Gabriel's eyes, and I get ready to fight. I look at Gabriel and he is whispering, ''I am sorry.''Before I know it, he has hit me with a lightning bolt which makes me fly into the bushes. I cannot move or speak, and I just lay there hidden watching Gabriel fight while I cannot do anything.''That bastard did this on purpose to save me,'' I think to myself.I watch Gabriel hit dark human after dark human with his lightning. But there are too many so at one point a dark human manages to sneak up on him and put some kind of collar around his neck. The moment the collar goes around his neck all Gabriel's powers seem to disappear. G

She lets her hands go over his body and I have never seen her look this serious."We have to get him home and dry," she shouts.Zeus and Nolan hurry towards us and pick him up. I don't want to let go of him, so I keep holding his hand while they carefully put him on Thorn. Zeus looks at all the dead bodies cautiously. "We should go quickly before more will come," he says.I can hear Thorn trying to talk to me through our minds, but I feel too numb and sad to process it. I just stare at Gabriel and hold him. Faith looks at us worried and pets Thorn on his neck while talking to him. Luckily, he seems to understand and with a big shriek he lifts off. I look down at the open spac

I dreamed about all our moments together and when I woke up, I knew the mate bond was set in place." Tears of joy roll down my cheek, "I had the same dream. I am so happy you are okay Gabriel. You have no idea how I felt watching you get attacked and then finding you unconscious and stabbed so many times."Gabriel strokes my face, "I thought I was protecting you, but I see now that you don't need protection.

But with the years of peace growing so did people’s trust and I am happy to say that Liberum is now known as a place of magic and wonders.

At first, we wanted to make a burning woodpile for every single body but then we decided it would be more meaningful to send everyone off on small plateaus at the lake that leads to the sea in Dandion. Everyone worked together the last couple of hours to make floating plateaus for all the bodies.I leave the castle to go to the lake with Gabriel. Everywhere I go people look at me with big eyes and they either bow or clap for me. I quickly gained the image of the heroine that saved the world in the hours that have passed. Tales of how I destroyed the army with magic spread and they even sound unbelievable to me while I know that I did it.

To be rid of him for good I must heal him and his evil.”We are all quiet when she walks to him and sits down at his head.

    NOELLE POV,I feel nothing when I explode the dark humans and demons in the tunnel with purple light. I walk outside the tunnel and notice the inner wall being breached. Purple light radiates off my whole body and I levitate myself above the castle. I must look like a bright purple star and people drop their weapons to look at me. I open up my mind to all creatures of the Under Realm and give them visions that they are being chased by their worst fear. The trick works effectively on the dark humans, and they all start running out of the inner part of the city screaming.My voice echoes through the city when I command my people and the dragons to hide inside buildings. I hold up my arms and call out to all the water in the city to obey me. Water starts to rise up from sewers and the small rivers. It all flows back to me and forms a big wall of water up into the sky. I put my hands forward and let a tsunami carry out the demons, stone giants, and fire creatures with full for

Everyone has a determined look in their eyes and seems to calmly be waiting for the doors to breach. I decide to take the small moment of peace to go look for Thorn. I find him looking much better and luckily Faith tells me she will be able to repair his wing, but he just needs rest.“I don’t need rest; I need to fight with you mistress!” Thorn says in my mind with a stubborn voice. I walk to him and give him a kiss on his snout, “You have protected me fiercely I couldn’t be prouder. Now I need you to take it easy so we can maybe live to fight another day.”Thorn follows me with grumpy eyes when I walk away but he obeys my command. I walk towards Luna who is talking with Zeus.

    NOELLE’S POV,As soon as we fly over the wall it feels like I wound up in a storm. Fire and weapons fly around me. I see light and explosions everywhere and it is immediately complete chaos. I can feel the impact of every blow that lands on Thorns armor. I look around to find Hades but all I can see are demons, dark humans, and creatures of Hell. Hades must have put up some illusion so he and the 4 horsemen can stay out of sight and let the rest of the army do most of the fighting.I bite my lip in frustration because there goes my plan B to take out the most powerful play-ers to end the fight. I let Thorn burn demons and dark humans in the field with dragon fire, but I notice it gets heavier for him by the minute. I don’t know how much damage the armor can hold. Angels are dropping light bombs and fighting flying creatures in the air. I see many of the Under Realm army being blown up but every hole we make seems to be filled up with new soldiers just as

I stare at him and then I realize what is wrong, Donna is standing next to him, and she is also smiling at me. Shivers go through my body, and I want to scream to Ga-briel that something is wrong, but I can’t speak. The amulet around my neck starts to get warm and levitates me up in the air. It feels like something is trying to pull my insides out of me. I start screaming from pain and I can see purple light flowing out of me into Hades. I keep screaming until the pain stops and the last of the light flows out of me. I fall back into the ground hard and my body shakes from the impact.For some reason no one from Dandion seems to know what is going on because all around me is darkness. The only thing I can see is Hades and Donna smiling at me. Hades makes a tiny flame of purple fire in his hands and starts laughing.&ldquo

They stop marching about 50 meters from the wall. The war drums become louder and they all start to shout battle screams in a language I don’t understand. Luna nods at a soldier on the wall and he walks towards a massive horn stationed on the wall. The horn blows a strong and vibrant call through the whole city. I can see everyone take their positions and with de-termined faces, they seem to say that they are ready for whatever comes at them.Then the war drums become silent and the front row of dark humans and soldiers starts run-ning to the wall.

He is running to-wards me but as soon as he sees me, he stops. We just stare at each other for a moment and then he runs towards me and swoops me in his arms. I can’t even begin to describe how good it feels to have his arms around me and smell his scent. He sits down on the floor holding me and I can hear his heart beating really fast. I take his face in my hands and put my fore-head against his, tears of joy travel down my cheeks. I look into his beautiful blue eyes and sigh with happiness. He softly strokes my cheek brushing the tears away and puts his lips on mine. I lean into his embrace and enjoy the sensation of his lips on mine again. I wish this moment would last forever.I look into his eyes again and I hear him say in my head, “I have missed you so muc
