Zara was sitting on her new office chair. Her eyes heavy and almost blurry staring at her papers knowing she has to finish it by today. Weird since her plan was to annihilate the whole kingdom of Dzhimara until nothing left, not even a little for anyone to write a history about them. They did the same thing to her home so everything is fair in love and war.
However, her headache grew by the minute and an eerie voice, a voice she starts to recognize for days echoes in her ear..
“Let me out.”
It says. Her dark side, the Akhillar was enchanting her, convincing her to let her go. Somehow, it believes that the real Zara now is too weak, too kind and still to forgiving to not finish the destruction of Dzhimara once and for all.
However, no one there knows how Zara chose to take things slow, a step at a time. She didn’t see anything interesting about taking things to fast. Where’s the fun in that?
As her head was heavy with s
“What the hell did you just do?” Adam yelled at Abram and Nikolai who still stand tall but regret was clear in their face seeing how worried and angry their father was at that moment.Dominic walks toward him and bow down. “Forgive me, my king. Saving Lady Agneiszka was our main priority. Prince Abram and Prince Nikolai volunteered to help seeing they were concern for their mother.”Dominic never anticipate Adam grabbing his collar and shove him to the wall. His eyes glowing dangerously and he was growling while talking at the same time.“You don’t fuck with me, Dominic. You acknowledge my sons as princes but still decide to br
The memory jumps to Eve, deep in a forest and hiding from her maid. Adam ran towards Eve and see her hiding from one of the thick bushes while her family looked for her.All of a sudden, the surrounding around Ariadne and others starts to melt and everything around them becomes blurry.“What’s going on?” Abram voice was fill with concern.“It’s her next memory. It’s how the magic works.”The memories start to take place in what seem to be a village with houses made from straw but covered in pure white snows and the people, children, farmer and everyday people with their Zhatierians traits, ivory hair and fair skin, all beautiful and hardworking doing their chores. They were all happy, busy and sounds of laughter can be heard from each side.Everyone seems to have powers as spatters of magic is seen ev
All seven visitor find themselves back in the diamond castle. They notice a white bed with furry white rug and a bird cage hanging near the balcony. The room had small, round diamond tables and chairs which is connected to the floor and glittery chandeliers on top of them. They also notice a teen with long straight hair standing near a cupboard with a knight uniform and sword hanging from his waist.It was night time and when Eve enter her room slowly, she gasped at the sight of the boy staring straight into her.“Khalid! What are you doing in my room?”“I should be the one asking the question! Where did you go?”Eve looks flustered and answered him, “Just, walking around the garden outside and around the castle. Nowhere important.”“I am not a fool, Eve. I am your personal knight. It is my duty to know your whereabouts
A?N: First chapter of the month. Have a great day reading this… not sure if you di but a story is a story. Enjoy and have a blessed day.
“I love this. I love how this story has gone now, father.”Ariadne giggles at what Maksim said and Abram smiled at his words. Ambrose still looks unsure so he asks, “Is this it? Is this how the story ends?”Their surroundings darken and they are all alone again in a black dimension. Nikolai also spoke. “Father, based on your stories, Eve betrayed you and plotted behind you and the people of Dzhimara to destroy you but from what I’ve seen, there was no hate or vile plan to put you down. All her flashbacks, she has always been true to you and love you.”Adam frowned too. His chest becomes heavy at what he had seen so far. Totally different from what he was told. “I know; I don’t feel good about this. This..this is not what I have in mind. I was told that she hated me. That she wanted to destroy me by marrying me. But, all of this doesn&rsqu
The room darkens again with the Witch asking them with a glee, “How was it? Your family introduction? Fun, fun, fun!”They were all turning at each other feeling awkward and tensed. Ambrose turns to Adam who had a deep frown, “Obviously your people hates, Eve. How can you be so stupid not to see that? You practically brought her into the lion’s den!”“I didn’t know. I thought she was fine. She never told me. She never says anything.”“It was obvious, you idiot! Anyone would be blind and stupid to not see how uncomfortable she was.”Abram moves toward Ambrose says gently “I know you’re mad at my father now. I get it. You have every right to do that but like Ari said just now. We’re not finish here. We got to be fast and all this anger gets us to nothing.”Ambro
Eve days went by quite fast and within a week of being married, she was the happiest she can be. She spends most of her time with Adam in their room. Every moment with him was precious and he made sure that it would be memorable every time he made love to her and treat her like a queen. She never wanted that moment to end but as King and Queen a some of the strongest nation in Afhrin, a royal job has no end and they had to cut their honeymoon short.Not that he complains as he always makes up all his lost time at night when they reach their bedroom. He was insatiable for sure but she loves it when he practically worships her. He also loves to but give her colourful dresses. Mostly red since it is the royal colour of Sviatoslavich family and she found the colour not to her taste but she would wear them sometimes to appeases him. He tends sot buy him jewels being told how such stones wasn’t her fancy. Zhatierians never like materialisti
Living in Dzhimara was definitely different from what Eve has noticed compare to Zhatier. People here works tirelessly, busy, always angry and trying to snap at each other while Zhatiera was peaceful and everyone seem to have much positive time than here. It pains her to say that even Adam is affected as well.It seems like a few land on by Adam’s kingdom was attack and conquered by vampire under their own king Dante Ghatar. He is a powerful vampire who possess amazing beauty which becomes one of his greatest weapon in order to tempt his victim to death. Seeing how his men was killed over and over by the vampires, Adam is always busy and now, hardly have time to spend with Eve. Eve tries to fit in with barely having him for breakfast, lunch, dinner or at bedtimes.Yes, even at night, he would sleep and making Eve sat by the balcony, waiting for him and it bothers her seeing every time he enters, he would be in
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.
