Eve lean on the wall of the dungeon where she resides now. When she tilts her head towards the high window on top of her, the chains around her neck, wrist and ankles made a clinking sound. The white thin strap dress which flows down her knees is now dirtied from the dusty floor. Her head still holds its curl but they look almost lifeless as she was.
The dungeon was all dark and grey, the only light which enters her space was the light form day time and moon. If it starts to rain, the dungeon would be stark black and her body would shiver from the cold wind. Now that her Gift is gone, her body could not regulate as much heat as they use too.
Seeing her fate now, Eve know that the only thing which can stop her torture is if she could kill herself by choking on her shackles or remain unfed for months. Being mortal now, it won’t be long but f
“I’m so sorry Eve. I swear, I never meant to fail you. I didn’t know he would try to hurt you after my warning. Please. Please talk to me. I can’t bear to hear your silence.” Mikael had begged her.Eve continues to stare t the ceiling. Her eyes empty and her lips parted in exhaustion. Her palm both place don what used to be her pride and joy. Now, her beloved daughter is no more. She had lost her baby. The only thing that keeps her alive at that point.She listens well to Mikael’s apologies but it was all a little too late. She hasn’t even shade one tears for her daughter and that made her angry. When Mikael left her to grieve, he pulls her arm making him surprised.“I want to see my baby.”Hi
Reaching towards Kyrakhi forest and to the border heading towards Zhatiera, Eve breath stop seeing shards of ice, scattered on the floor. He invisible dome surrounding Zhatiera has been broken. Eve start to have panic attack. Without wasting any time, she ran to the pathway she had used a s a kid and seeing so many foot prints of both wolves and human feet’s scares her. 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 Zhaterians laying on the pure white snow. Red blood staining the snow around their body. Furs form the wolves scatter on the ground they passed through. Bodies of innocent children with their eyes open and looking lifeless with dolls in their arms and hands reaching out to their pa
Entering Dzhimara castle wall, cries of civilians with some turning into wolves fills the morning air. Huge wolves ran towards Eve and her entourage. Seeing the witches, she finally understands their hand sin the attack so Eve threw them towards the hard floor and stalls nearby. Everyone was scattering around them, running and pushing each other for the safety of their own. Cries of horror was so adamant that for a moment, it brought smiles to Eve’s face. Her eyes shifted from red to her natural blue.
With the flame now licking her body, all seem to be lost until Khalid enters the room. With his large swords, he cut through very obstacle in front off him and quickly dive into the fire to reach for Eve .He was worried for her and he keeps on shaking her body but she refuse to wake up. Smoke fill his lungs but he was determined to stay beside her. Before he almost age up, he places his ear on her chest. Relief washed over him listening to Eve ’s faint heartbeat. Without wasting another second, he carries her bridal style and leave the flame covered room.Eve ’s memory shifted to an icy cave, a secret location locate don the other side of Zhatiera. The cave was abandon. The harsh blizzard that occupies the area was too dangerous for any creature to dwell in but being a creature of ice, Khalid ha dno trouble to be there.Inside the crystal cave, Khalid was gazing at a diamond shape ice block. His palm rested on the large diamo
When Eve opens her eyes, she noticed that she was lying on a soft ground. She turns to see a thick fur surrounding her naked body. She felt warmth coming from the fire pit beside her. A movement from outside the cave made her alert and her hand raised, ready to attack. She stops when it was only Khalid and sob wrecked her chest seeing him alive.She rose from her make shift bed and jumps on him. She didn’t care that she was unclothed. She needed his warmth. After all, that she has gone through, she felt a deep relief seeing Khalid, her only remaining friend all well and alive.“Khalid, thank the Gods you are alive. I thought you were dead. I though they had killed you too.” Eve’s tears drips on his shoulder. Khalid wrapped his arm around her body and stroked her back.“No more tears, my queen. It’s all over. You are safe now.” He whispered gently into her ears. Eve continues to cry. Pain weave through every word like a string.“They’re all gone, n
Weeks gone by and after wallowing in her loss, Eve decided to pay Adam a visit. Knowing both Kristopher and Khalid would stop her from leaving, she sneaked out from the cottage and travels to Dzhimara without anyone’s knowledge. It took her hours to reach to Dzhimaar, a shorter time than she had before. From the scroll Abenore had kept, Eve now have zero worries of entering Dzhimara. Everyone around the guards booth was enchanted by Eve’s beauty. All eyes was fixed on her that they didn’t notice a few kids sneaking in and out.Compare to last time, Eve now sat inside her fancy horse carriage, oozing with so much class and elegance for it was decorated with fine jewels planted on every edges of the carriage, finely painted in white and gold, filled with intricate carvings around its doors, everyone around her was in awe.Once entering, Eve proceeds to travel to Karza castle but she was told that the castle was closed after the war. The silver castle was covere
“Are you out of your mind, Eve? They are wolves! Pure-blooded wolves! They are our enemies!” Khalid scolded her. Eve stand outside of the door where the boy sleeps peacefully with his little sister in his arms. “They are just children, Khalid. They know nothing.”“Nothing? Those animals, they were children too. Romanov, you met him as a child, didn’t you? What happen to him after that? He betrayed you. He is the reason why you, me Abenore and Louisa is the only Khiones left! You should have left those two died in the streets! You are taking a huge risk letting them into our lives.”Eve shift her head to Adam but it wasn’t anger that swoon her face. Sadness and grief overwhelms her. Taking over her emotion and making her on the verge of tears. Her voice was faint but Khalid listen to every words and his sad tone causes his breath tightens.“When I see those children, all I can think about was my baby. My child that was taken from me.”Khalid angry featur
The vision around them paused and out of nowhere, their surroundings melted like hot candles. It made everyone worried seeing the ground beneath them rumbled. Everyone woke up, gasping and in full panic mode. Their chest heaving hard, causing Abram to rush towards Ariadne who was crying her eyes out. Tears stained their cheeks after all the emotions pent up in their floating state rushed through them like lightning.
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.
