Reaching Kyarakhi forest and standing by the border heading towards Zhatiera, Eve breath stops seeing shards of ice scattered on the floor. The invisible dome surrounding Zhatiera has been broken. Eve’s shivers of what it would meant. Without wasting any time, she ran to the pathway she had used as a kid and seeing so many foot prints of both wolves and humans scares her even more. She only hoped that nothing bad has happen to her family.
Her worst nightmare has been realized seeing the scene in front of her. Her heart broke and she cried seeing so many dead Zhatierians laying on the pure white snow. Red blood staining the snow around their body. Furs from the wolves scattered on the ground the
After all the body of Zhatierians was carried and placed properly on the castle ground, the rose garden behind the castle wall, Eve knelt down, followed by only 88 Zhatierians survivor. Many were man while the small number which remains are woman and children. The ambush Zhatiera went through was too brutal, leaving the weaker of these individual laying in front of them. None could understand why their magic has betrayed them, as if they have never existed in the first place. Wolves bodies was burned at the side of the forest while dead bodies of husbands, brothers, grandfathers with few remaining children and mothers in Zhatiera laid beside each other. Their body surrounding their loved ones as if they were still alive. Sounds of weeping fills the air. Surging pain pounds th
“Evie? Please, I know you are angry but you need to calm down. Evie, plea_” His body staggers backwards with both of his hand raised in front of him. Sweats drips form his forehead, he was breathing hard and his body has cut up mark all over.Mikael tries to reason with her but Eve refuse to give him any chance to speak. He pushes every furniture in the room to stops her movement but Eve just blew them away or disintegrate them into snows. Seeing his effort to speak falls into Eve’s deaf ear, his body shook and silver fur, wolf snout and claws sprout from his body. He growls at her and leaps to attack her. Eve smirked.Adrenaline sparks her every ne
In a small wooden cabin, deep in the forest of Bernadine, just a small hill near Berdum, a mother who was heavy with a baby along the way was getting ready to put her young son to bed.Once setting the firewood in place, making the dark room glowed through the orange flame and prepared enough heat to keep the small cabin warm all through the night, she sat by his only son, making herself and her rounded belly comfortable in the soft bed."My son, it is time to go to sleep. Now, what stories do you wish me to tell you? I have many already prepared for you. Is it about a king? Or how vampires or the werewolves come to exist? Or a princess who falls into a deep slip after being prick by a cursed needle? Which one would you like to hear, my love?"The young boy looked like he was thinking rather hard and his eyebrow scrunched, figuring what stories would be good. After a few moments, his brown eyes sparkled, indicating he already has a story in mind and was grinning wide."I want to hear a
Where he is right now, it’s definitely a mystery he desperately wanted to know. All his life, being alone has never been a choice.No, it was never an option. His whole life was compromised of his family and his people so the current reality of him standing in the middle of the forest with no one around him made him feel rattled.Everything around him was covered with snow. The forest was dark, trees was barren and dried up with its branches looking like the finger of an old witch.It all looked so gloomy and there was nothing in the place made him feel at ease but he continued to walk deeper, going along the snow
As Adam walked towards the dining room after putting on his black plain turtle neck t-shirt that hugged his body perfectly, a small grin curved on his cheeks, looking at his three sons having an interactive conversation about their day, the family business well-being including the important ball that they were going to hold within a week.Chills ran down his spine knowing that it was the same day of her death and betrayal. Hundreds of years had passed but he felt so mad when he thought about it. Nikolai, the youngest of the Sviatoslavich bunch noticed him and grinned.“Slept well, father?"Maksim and Abram turned
"I can't believe you're leaving me all alone, Ari. What if Niklaus try to speak to me again? I don't think I can survive listening to the lies that he can't seem to stop sprouting!"Ariadne chuckled, listening to her best friend complaining and sulking about her leaving to the new mansion her mother had set up in Dzhimara. Her trunks were filled with all her things and had already packed neatly by the door.Ari had just finished taking her bath and currently combing her long silky brown hair that flowed to her waist. She braided her hair and made sure it was kept tidy. She put light make up on her face with mascara and lipstick. Her black diamond tear drop necklace was shining from the light that fell on her
After hours of traveling and finally arriving at the gate of Dzhimara, Kristopher made sure that every documents they needed to enter was prepared to the guards watching the door.Excitement ran in her heart seeing the metal gates slowly ascended. Ariadne heard stories of this gates how it was controlled by the Sviatoslavich family, royalties of Dzhimara and only can be opened had they have proper documents needed and approved by the guards, Dzhimarian trusted guards to enter.Rumour has it, the gates and walls were charmed, thus no creature alive could penetrate or enter without permission. It was long built and charmed by the king so no power or magic could destroy them. Perhaps powerful wizard or witches could do that but none of them survived after the Great war and when Dzhimara almost perished ages ago.The journey almost came to an end and rather than continued resting inside the carriage, Ariadne leaned her head near the window to stare outside and she w
"So, why do you want to see me? I'm seriously not in the mood and you only making it worse." Agnes pouted her lips and putting on her lip gloss as Mikael stare at her. Annoyance mask his face."You know why I came here. Seems like you're having a hard time with your marriage."Mikael grinned "I mean, your ex-marriage. I was surprised that it actually lasted this long."Mikael smiled and drank a cup of brewing coffee and looked around the bistro he is dining with his sister in. Having one in his own home would be fine but knowing that his sister that is too spoilt for less brought them in the middle of the city just so s
Six months passed It took months to rebuild Dzhimara. The number of death recorded was devastating but the number of enemies they have taken down was more. The seal around the gate was built up once more and the teamwork among the forest witch ensured the gate will remain strong for years to come. Homes were rebuilding from scratch but as the new king of Dzhimara, Abram made sure that all his citizens, even the humans, and the witches are fully helped. They are his responsibilities now. Thinking back to the war before, he had lost so much, his patriarch and his mate too lost their dear ones. Everyone thought that in time, they would heal but till today, the pain of losing his father remains strong. His mother no longer resides in the dungeon. For her crimes against the former nation of Zhateria, she was banished to the forest of Afhrin. Many had questioned whether allowing her to keep her wolf was a wise idea but seeing her mother's state, finding out she too has
Adam crawls towards Eve with his remaining strength. After closing Mikael's eyes, he roared as much as his breath could. He mourned for the death of the man who once cared for him as a child. It may be an act, may be a lie but it didn't feel like it. He made Adam hated him but he understands that a part of his hate is justified. Adam had taken the woman he loves. It wasn't on purpose but what's done is done. "Sleep well brother. I wish things were different. I hated you for what you have done but you will always be my brother. I just hope you felt the same." After laying a kiss on his forehead, he quickly with little energy he has, crawled towards Eve.
The memories fade and it became faster this time. Scenes after scenes takes over showing her Mikael real self who slowly deteriorates from the innocent boy he was to a wrecked man. The time he had hid when she met Adam at the meadow as a child, her marrying Adam with his eyes looking aback, brimming with tears and bloodied hands after digging his nails deeper into his palm from clutching his hand too hard.His raw emotion exploding in his room the night Adam and Eve spend their time as husband and wife. All his things, beds, tables, cloth was ripped and destroyed. He seated at the corner of the room, crying his hearts out and slamming the floor beside him.
When she turns, she saw a woman, crying on the ground with her face swollen and full of bruises. Blood drips down her chin and in front of her was a soldier, covered with iron armour. He held a bottle of alcohol since his face was red and oily. He was a handsome man and the lady herself was beautiful. The house they were in was made from grey bricks, something that people in the olden times would stayed in.The house itself was decorated with finest of things, finely sculpted furniture, huge fireplace, hearty meals on the table all dressed in red and gold which means this home belongs to someone who is close to Dzhimara's royal family. After the man finish cursing at the beaut
Adam's wound made him slower than he should which gave Mikael an advantage but Adam training make sure that he is able to avoid any thrust from Mikael's sword. Fast reflect from Adam's hand causes his sword to cut Mikael's arm deeply. Mikael hissed but his gaze remains at Adam.When Mikael stands behind Adam in a flash, he swung the tip of his sword and ug deeply into the wounds from earlier on. Blood pouring with painful groan escaping his lips. Adam turn and slam the back of his sword in Mikael's abdomen.Seeing he was distracted from his pain, Adam swiped his feet below him causing Mikael to fall. His swords were knocked off from his hand. Adam grinned."You may be a great talker, Mikael but you suck at fighting. Told you not to skip practise." An advice he once given Mikael growing up. Adam was about to bury his sword in his chest when he hears Eve soft moan calling out to him. He turn to see Eve completely awake and standing up weakly. His distraction almost risk him his life se
Healing Adam's wound took longer than expected. News of war in Dzhimara reach to them and from the amount of death enquired, Abram was devastated. Though wolves was able to defeat them at first, the amount of vampires and dark creatures from the forest like Gollum, Orcs and demons that had joined the war to gain control of Dzhimara including humans life alike made it hard for them to defend their fortress. After Adam was healed, he sat up still cringing with the sensation of the pain pounding intensely with every movement. The forest warlock sat beside him, breathing hard after putting so much magic and power to heal the wolf king."I have to save her. I need to go." Adam gritted. He was bare from waist up after his shirt was soaked with his blood. Abram tried to push him to stay but even in his weak state Adam was stronger than his son. "You are weak, father. You don't even know where they are. You have to take care of yourself.""He is right. My magic heals you now but like a medic
Laying Eve at the grass, Mikael couldn't help but push her hair behind her ear, touching her warm skin and gazing at her. It took hundreds of years for him to find her again and it blow his mind seeing her remain the same. The same smooth skin, the long silky ivory hair, red lips as thick lashed above her pixie nose. She was perfection.He knelt down beside her. It will take at least half a day before Eve would know where they were. Back where it all begin. Observing every featured on her petite body, Mikael smiled, making sure everything little detail about her is imprinted in his mind. She remains flawless as she was when he first saw her when they were a childHis eyes glare at her. He frowned and his grip on the ground beneath him tightens. He stands up straight again and anger twisting his handsome face. He was furious at how things have gone in his life. Everything he ever wanted, everything he ever need was taken from him. All falls into the hand of his step
A rough shook of his body awakes him and his eyes abruptly open in shock. He sits quickly, inhaling all the air his lung was robbed off and he started heaving and coughing. Abram's hand rub his back and he gently whisper to him to calm down. Adam mind was blank for a second but memories from Eve's heart flooded his every being making him s rambled to his feet and searching for Eve. Though she only just lay next to him, Brahms was panting excessively. He knelt down beside Eve and start pulling her unconscious body near him. He hears people around him calling out to him but he ignored them and hug Eve tightly to his chest. Her head rested beneath his chin and her face closed over his chest. He caress her hair and rock her body gently with his.He hears gasping from the voice around him and he look down to see Eve's jet black hair turning ivory from its root. Her pale skin blushed and more life is added to her body. No more dark vibes basking from her small form. Only warmt
King Aidan wore a gentle smile while offering a white floral cup of tea to Adam. Adam nodded while taking the glass, his hand shivers and he drank the tea with his fingers trembling holding the handle."I am fine, your highness. " He didn't know how to ask him whether the king was fine too. He was dead after all. Would it be rude? Then a thought got to him so he turn to look into King Aidan's eye, feeling even more determine."This is Eve's heart. It's where she 'rest' when she is in pain. I'm sorry but both of you..uh..is it just my imagination or hers?"Queen Aaliyah chuckled and she brush her husband's hand. She kissed his cheek before leaving him alone. Adam stood as a sign of respect but Aidan shook his head and Adam see the fair queen looking a whole lot of Eve walk away, heading to the front door. He is now alone with King Aidan."What do you think, Adam? Are we just your imagination or Eve's? The goddess creation is a very interesting sight to behold.
