2024-10-29 19:42:56Julias squeezes my hand, ''I'm sorry about your parents must suck to not know where you come from. My parents died. They refused to give me up to the magic inquisition from the Mortal Realm that Hella ordered. I have a little bit of water magic nothing major or threatening. But Hella didn't care, after she tested me and tortured me for some information, she just let me rot in a cell for years. I managed to escape when she was away for some business, but no one dared to give me refugee in the Mortal Realm. I felt like I had no more reason to live so I just walked into the sea not caring whether I would live or die. I don't remember much of the exact moment but when I woke up, I was in the Sea Realm and Roan was there. I told him where I came from, and he said I could live in his Kingdom and that he would protect me. He showed me that there are still things that are worth living for and that kindness still exists.''
I can't help but feel sorry for Julias, but I am also surprised about what he tells me about Roan.
The stories about the King of the sea always portray him as a tyrant. I have even read that he flooded villages when they wouldn't sacrifice women every year. I don't know what to think about King Roan anymore.I stop and look at Julias,''I am sorry you have had such a bad experience in life, but I am grateful for meeting you.''''I think we will get along just fine miss Noelle. But now you must look around because we have arrived at the water gardens.''
I look around me and I am amazed by what I see. There are ponds with fish in more colors than I knew existed. Big glass tanks that lead to the ocean where I can see seahorses, octopuses, sea stars, sharks, and more creatures that I have never seen before.
In the gardens, there is a path made of gems with stone sculptures of beautiful women on the sides. There are more sculptures than I can count, it must be thousands. Every 5 meters there is a little fountain with water that is shimmering like diamonds. I sigh from happiness at all this beauty.Julias walks to the middle of the garden and says,''Let me show you a little trick that I can do.''He holds up his hands and does all kinds of weird movements with his arms. It's like he is dancing. Then the water from the fountains squirts up and it jumps from one fountain to another fountain. It looks like the water is dancing for me.I'm still enjoying the show when Julias falls. All the water comes together in the middle and then it comes at me with impressive speed.Julias screams, ''Noelle run!''But the water is too fast, I hold out my hands, close my eyes and wait for the water to sweep me off my feet. But nothing happens, when I open my eyes all the water has stopped in front of me. As if it obeyed my command.I put my arms down and the water swirls around me like it wants to embrace me. I decide to try something more, so I hold up my hands and in my mind, I picture the water going back to the fountains. To my surprise, the water obeys and goes back to where it came from.Julias is Looking at me with an open mouth.''OMY GOD did you see that?'' I scream excitedly.Julias walks towards me and says,'' Why haven't you told me you have magic? And how did you command the water without using your hands?''I hesitate, ''I didn't know that I had magic. I just pictured in my mind what I wanted the water to do.''Julias shakes his head, ''Unbelievable something like that takes years of practice for the most gifted magicians. You must be extremely powerful. We must tell Roan immediately.''''Why do we have to tell Roan?” I ask.''He is the only one powerful enough to help you understand and control your powers. You must start training as soon as possible. Otherwise, your power is going to look for outbursts. You could hurt people unintentionally.''
We walk back to the castle where it seems like there is nobody there. In the dining room, we find Maya.Julias speaks to her, ''Maya where is Roan? We need to talk to him it's urgent.''Maya looks at us a bit sad, ''I am afraid it must wait. There has been a demon attack on the western village.''Related chapters
Sacrificed To Her King Picking up pieces
NOELLE'S POV,Julias and I wait hours for Roan to come back. It's already midnight when finally, we hear the door. Roan walks in all bloody and with a sad and tired look on his face.''You are bleeding,'' I say shocked.He grunts, ''It's nothing I just need to get some sleep and then go back to the village.''I walk towards him and examine the cuts on his arms and chest, ''We need to at least clean your wounds to make sure you don't get an infection. Come on let's get you on a couch so I can help you.''Roan walks to the couch and sits down. I tell Julias to get some bandages and alcohol.''You need to take off your clothes so I can examine all the wounds. Here let me help you,'' I command.I take off his shirt and pants until he is only wearing underwear. If the circumstances were different, I would have gotten shy from such a beautiful body exposed.Julias comes back with the supplies, and I start cleaning Roan's wounds.Julias sits nex
Sacrificed To Her King The western village
NOELLE'S POV,I wake up by the sound of my alarm at 5 in the morning. It takes me 30 minutes to get ready and then I head out to the entrance.King Roan is already waiting in front of the door. He looks like shit; I wonder if he slept at all.''Good morning, did you get any sleep last night?'' I ask a bit concerned.''No, not much just had a lot to think about.''Before I can say anything else he walks out the door. I follow him while we walk to the edge of the air bubble. Roan stands still and looks at me from head to toe.''Considering what Julias told me about your magic I think you should be able to shapeshift into a water creature. Maybe we can try a mermaid, just think about what you want to look like. Picture everything from the breathing gills to the tail. When you have the image just say Shapolo''I look at him a bit doubtful, but I say, ''Okay let's give it a try.''I think about a long green shimmering tail, a small glit
Sacrificed To Her King Trouble
NOELLE'S POV,The rest of the week Roan and I practice water magic every day from dusk till dawn. On the first day, he explained to me that magic can't stay inside. It is like a well that fills up, it needs to be released otherwise the well runs over. When that happens you have no control over your magic, and you don't know what the outburst will do to people close by.So, every day we start with doing some magic meditation. Simple peaceful spells just to make sure my magic does not get bottled up. The magic we do in the meditation is quite fun. I can make small rainclouds, make shapes out of the water like butterflies for example and make fun currents in the water for little sea turtles and sea horses.But that's the fun part the rest of the day we practice more advanced stuff like protection and battle magic. So far, I have been able to make a small shield. Roan can make protective air bubbles as big as cities. Today however we are going to try making a vortex.
Sacrificed To Her King Having fun
NOELLE'S POV,I wake up hours later laying in my bed. I see Roan sitting next to me and he is holding my hand. Immediately the events of the day before start coming back to me and I start to tremble and cry.''O Noelle,'' Roan says with a warm voice and he takes me in his arms. He rocks me for a while until I start to calm down.He takes my face in his hands and says, ''I'm so sorry I was not there on time Noelle, I should have never let you go back alone.''I look away and ask, ''What happened to the men?''Roan gets an annoyed look on his face and answers, ''You don't have to worry about them anymore they are dead.''When I think about them, I can still feel them on my body.''Good,'' I say.Roan puts a kiss on my forehead, ''I have some things I need to do but I will come back later to check on you. You should try to get some more rest. I will ask Maya to keep you company in the meantime.''I still feel very tired, so
Sacrificed To Her King Getting closer
NOELLE'S POV,It feels like Roan, and I have gotten much closer since our day with the sea horses. We spend as much time with each other as possible. We also have picked up the magic practice again now that my power has come back.We just got back from today's session where I learned to make waves. When we walk into the living room, we hear voices. Roan pulls me behind a curtain, and he starts kissing me. I have to giggle because it feels like we are doing something bad.Julias walks into the room, so Roan puts his hand over my mouth to shut me up. I take his finger and put it in my mouth and suck it while I look Roan in the eyes. His breathing becomes heavy quickly and he stares at my mouth. The moment gets ruined because we hear Julias growl, ''WRAAH.''I peek from behind the curtain and see Julias stand in front of a mirror. He is getting in all kinds of bodybuilder positions while making beastly sounds. He shouts, ''YOU ARE THE MAN, YOU ARE A LOVE MACHINE.''
Sacrificed To Her King Learning about traditions
NOELLE'S POV,I am still smiling while eating breakfast. Yesterday was such a great day. I never would have thought I would feel so good in the Sea Realm on the day I got chosen.No one is joining me for breakfast today though and the servants all seem super busy. Maya comes into the dining room, so I decide to ask her what's going on.''Maya where is everyone so busy with?''Maya walks towards me and says, ''We are preparing for the Midsummer celebration tomorrow.''I look at her curious, ''Ow what is that?''Maya already walks away again, ''I'm sorry Noelle I have so much to do still. You should ask King Roan; I think he is in his study.''And then she is gone. After breakfast, I go to the study where I see Roan covered over some papers.''Hej,'' I say.He looks up and his gaze softens when he sees that it's me. ''Hi, good morning. Can I do something for you?''''I was just wondering what the midsummer celebration is that everyone
Sacrificed To Her King Midsummer part 1
NOELLE'S POVWhen I wake up, I am still not sure if I want to go to the midsummer celebration tonight. I feel a bit depressed and for the first time since my stay, I don't go eat breakfast. I stay in bed twisting and turning until I hear a knock on the door.''Can I come in?'' I hear Maya ask.''Yes, you may.''Maya walks in with a beautiful white dress in her hands.''I have your dress for tonight here, you want me to help you get ready?''I go sit on the edge of the bed and answer, ''I'm not sure if I want to go.''Maya looks at me confused, ''Why not? It's the most fun evening of the year.''I sigh, ''I just don't think I will enjoy looking at King Roan performing the ceremony.''Maya sits next to me, ''Aha well I can't decide for you if you want to go look, but it would be a shame to be stuck in your room all day. The whole city is beautiful tonight so you can still dress up and enjoy taking in the sights.''I stand u
Sacrificed To Her King Difficult decisions
KING ROAN HIS POV,Roan takes a deep sigh after Noelle just stormed out of his office. That conversation definitely didn't go the way he wanted it to go. Somewhere he had hoped that she would be okay with doing the ceremony with him.It wouldn't have been the most romantic way but still, it was an honor to be picked. If only that damn attack didn't happen. His blood begins to boil again by just thinking about it. Hella is really pushing her boundaries, but then again what can he do against someone so powerful as her. And it certainly would not do his people any good.He feels so frustrated because he was making such great progress with Noelle. She was actually starting to like him and if he has sex with someone else it would be a huge setback for them.Maybe even something they wouldn't be able to recover from. On the other hand, he cannot disappoint his people. How can they trust him if he doesn't follow the traditions and sets the example?Hours later he s

NOELLE’S POV,“Are you ready?” I ask Gabriel.He puts on his jacket and gives me a kiss, “Yes darling, where are the kids?”“Probably at the school saying goodbye to their friends,” I answer.We walk towards the school together and I feel grateful when I think about the number of people that go there today. In the first years after the war, not many people came to Liberum to learn about magic. 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. More and more children with gifts get born every day and it is great to see diversity spread.At the school, we find our 2 daughters surrounded by friends. Fiona our second child is showing off with balls of fire that she is juggling in the air. With her red hair and icy blue eyes, she is a perfect mix of me and Gabriel.

Sacrificed To Her King Farewell dear friends
NOELLE'S POV,It is a few hours later and bells are ringing through the city to announce the beginning of the funerals for all the lost lives. 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. I walk to the front of the lake where Luna, Holly, Julias, and Nolan are already waiting. The sun is shining and the only thing I hear is
Sacrificed To Her King The end of Hades
NOELLE’S POV,While I am contemplating what to do with Hades, I hear running footsteps. Gabriel, Holly, and Faith come running towards me. Gabriel takes me in his arms and holds me tight, “I am so happy you are okay,” he says relieved.We all look down at Hades who is still fighting to get rid of the glowing roots. “What should we do with him?” I ask the rest.Holly looks at Hades full of hate, “You should give him a vision of something terrible and let him die thinking about that.”Gabriel coldly replies, “I have no problem with that.”Faith sounds determined when she says, “No. We can’t just kill him because he will find a way to come back. 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. For the first time I see fear in Hades his eyes and he screams, “No, No, No, not her! Just kill me."Faith put
Sacrificed To Her King The final battle part 3
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
Sacrificed To Her King The final battle part 2
NOELLE’S POV,Gabriel immediately takes charge and gives an encouraging speech to the people. They all seem to realize that it is better to go down fighting for a better world than living in Hell. 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. Zeus seems very riled up making big movements with his ar
Sacrificed To Her King The final battle part 1
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
Sacrificed To Her King Unexpected turn of events
NOELLE’S POV,I hear Gabriel call my name somewhere in a distant place of my mind, but I can’t take my eyes off Hades. 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
Sacrificed To Her King So it begins
NOELLE’S POV,Everyone around me is looking pale and serious as the army comes closer and closer. The grounds seem to shake from all the marching soldiers and the war drums echo in my ears. 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. I can now see Donna standing a few rows behind Hades. As soon as the sol-diers walk into the magical shield barrier they explode into light. Everyone on the wall cheers because the spells actually worked. I hear running foot
Sacrificed To Her King The quiet before battle
NOELLE’S POV,“Where is she? Where is she?” I hear Gabriel shout. Just hearing his voice already makes my heart explode. Everyone quickly gets out of the way and then I see him. 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
