Wyzeli-Sindi Landia's imperial treasure building. King Drake had just materialised in the main hall where the most precious treasures of the kingdom were kept. But to his shock, everything in it was gone, except a wooden bench that he was sure didn't belong to the kingdom. He looked at the unrepentant couple, not too far from him, with a face that announced max-level spite."You... how dare you purloin the land's treasures?" he barked, pointing his sceptre at them. "Old king, when you and your rats invaded my homeland, took lots of our treasures, and when we asked you to give them back, did you kindly do so? No! Instead, you caused a military friend of mine to die among the others who were hard-lucked that month. You brought me and my darling mate in here without the need for a jade pass. Of course, I must thank you. If not for your order, I wouldn't be able to collect these treasures and burn down your food storehouses," Phoenix smilingly replied before launching a black mist spher
Seconds later, 7 men clothed in black speedily ran out of the woods and encircled the five men who were set to battle them."You smelly bastards, you just had to show yourselves and ruin our day, huh?" Oliver questioned with an angry glower on his face. He'd already kept his glasses in its case in the back seat of the second jeep and his eyes were now a glowing yellow that belonged to his wolf, Ray.The putrid smell of these seven combined made it tough just to breathe and the feeling of barfing was increasing by the second."Leave these jeeps behind and we shall let you go without a scratch," said one of the men, a brown-haired short man, in an eerie voice."Are you sightless?" Zyair was compelled to ask the vampire who made this demand. Couldn't he see that these vehicles were not just custom, but also had the flags containing their pack's logo?Oh, right! The fetid undead didn't care about such things.They must be here for their blood and of course, as a bonus, the vehicles. But
Lavana materialized in an underground passageway lit by a few randomly placed dim candles where the smell of vampires was particularly strong. She covered her nose and rushed in the direction where she had also managed to distinguish the scent of wolf blood.Reaching the place, she found it was a basement that had a silver door serving as the entrance. She simply shook her head and teleported into the basement where she found Rolandro and the others hung upside down in human form, unclad. Also, they were unconscious and bleeding from the wounds on their wrists that for some reason refused to heal. Their blood flowed into the large white bowls that were placed under them on the floor. Seeing this, she gritted her teeth in anger. So these guys wanted to drain Carmelia's mate and the others' bodies of their blood completely!She immediately levitated and used her claws to cut the ropes that bound their feet. As they fell, she quickly caught them with five of her tails.At that moment,
Nodding with satisfaction, Phoenix gave the vampire a thumbs up, "Very good. I'm glad that you recognize me still. You know, when I let you go that day, I did so under one condition. Do you still recall?"Killian nodded vigorously, replying quickly after falling to his knees along with his cronies, "I was never to go after any wolf blood. I-I'm sorry. This wasn't my idea, Your Highness. It was him!" he pointed at the stunned Lorcan who also pointed at himself with a bewildered look."Me? Killian, have you gone nuts? You were the one who suggested for us to take down the five wolf bloods in the first place. Why are you lying?" the aggrieved Lorcan yelled back in response."You're the liar. Your Highness, please believe me," Killian implored with his palms pressed together. A pity he couldn't shed tears to look more pitiful..."You know what? I believe you, Killian. It's not your fault. Come and drink this," Phoenix poured wine from the gourd into a small glass and stretched his right h
Light Wiz kingdom.Royal palaceThe king's study.King Vellio Atlantes was seated at his exquisite wooden desk reading an unrolled scroll when his right-hand man, Louis Frost entered his study that was attached to his room hastily."Buddy, what's up?" the king said without looking at the man.Louis stopped to bow his head slightly with his right hand across his chest in salutation, "Greetings, your Majesty,"The king gave him a side eye and focused on the content of the scroll again.Seeing this, the brown-haired man sighed and stood upright before walking to sit in the chair opposite the king. He placed his hands on the table and clasped his fingers with a grave expression deeply etched on his face.King Vellio put down the scroll and questioned, "Louis, how many times have I told you that when we're in private, you aren't to address me with my title?" "That..." the man couldn't find words to say and could only defeatedly sigh, "Sorry, I keep forgetting," was the only excuse he coul
Imperial garden.It was evening. King Vellio and his wife Valeria were seated opposite Peter and little Beatrix at a wooden table in the royal pavilion. The evening breeze delicately stroked them as it blew gently. The monarch's hair had been woven into seven braids and he was clad in a plain green t-shirt and black shorts. He looked just like a regular guy without the crown and usual royal garb. His wife's auburn hair was tied in a single ponytail, her face was devoid of any makeup and not a single piece of jewellery could be found on her. She was attired in just a blue sleeveless top and loose ankle-length grey pants. This simple look did not in any way diminish her beauty. Peter sported curly auburn hair, black earrings, a silver nose ring chain across the nose, a yellow tank top and blue ripped jeans. The little girl's auburn hair was in three ponytails adorned with silver packers and was clad in a plain pink chiffon gown that stopped an inch above the knee. A pleasant arom
“Mom, Dad, how about you guys at least maintain the rule of self-discipline?” Peter offered.“Are you calling us lawless?” their mom asked with a thin smile.“Beatrix, did you hear me say such a thing?” Peter asked his sister and the latter shook her head.“I asked you a question and you’re asking someone else. Is that how you reply to your mum now?” the queen questioned with a displeased countenance.“How about we just focus on downing the fruits, as many as our guts could possibly take, and then you guys can play your boring game of love in your room after the race?” Peter suggested again with a frown.“You’re like this because you don’t want a family dinner and outing?” the king questioned.Peter shook his head, “No, it’s just…”“Are you actually unhappy because Phoenix might be returning with my big sis soon?” Beatrix asked unexpectedly.Peter wore a look of astonishment, “Why would you think such a thing, Riri? Of course, I want to see them again,”“But you won’t be happy to see
On hearing this, she quickly let go of him and looked around, “Where is she?”“She’s with us right now,” Phoenix replied.“But I don’t see her. You’re joking, aren’t you? I’m going to pull out your ears,” the queen warned but then a sweet feminine voice got her and the others’ attention.“Mate isn’t lying,”They looked around but still found no one. “Big sis, save me!” Beatrice cried out with her arms stretched. She and Peter recognized that voice easily.“Ok dear,” the voice rang out again and soon all had to watch as Beatrix was suddenly taken away from Peter.“Phoenix, your mate is invisible?” Queen Valeria asked in surprise.He nodded in confirmation, “Yup,”“So she saw me inelegant?” she asked again. “She saw everything,” Phoenix said before covering his mouth to suppress a laugh but his trembling shoulders betrayed him.Lavana cancelled the invisibility skill and all could see her dressed in a black sequined knee-length gown that highly emphasized her feminine shape. Her red
Wiyzh-Sybylle Landia Imperial Ceremony hall. 9:00 am. The venue was a gigantic hall built with numerous gleaming gemstones, all having different shades of white, regardless of shape and quality. Surrounding the hall at a reasonable distance from each other were a few golden statues of various fairytale beasts. Numerous shrubs with white or silver flowers could be seen in the large area. If one flew above the hall, he'd see that the flowers surrounding the venue in specific spots actually formed the symbol of love— a heart. There were also some large trees of different heights possessing rose gold trunks, white leaves and silver bell-shaped fruits at random spots, adding to the beauty of the environment. Several beautiful and colourful little effervescent birds were singing in harmony on the branches of those trees, blessing the ears of whoever heard their wonderful melody. White and golden butterflies made from light magic could be seen fluttering their wings around the area. The
"Oh, selfless, huh? Fine, my bride would prefer to see you alive anyway. I'll just take you with me," he looked at the pink snake, "You have any problem with that?" Echidna hastily responded, "No, No! You can take him with you, sir. It's an honour," Phoenix lifted a brow, "You give him up so easily?""I have assurance that since you aren't killing any of us today, you'll take care of my son. Besides, he's too disobedient,""Mom!" Tamesis couldn't believe his mother said that."Your son can only visit you once a year after this. You still want me to take him?" Phoenix questioned with a raised brow."Sure. I'll give you as many treasures. I also know that by the time he returns next year, he'll be more mature and obedient,""Okay. You guys wait out here. I'll take whatever treasures that interest me myself," without waiting for their reply, Phoenix vanished. He reappeared a few minutes later with a star-shaped gleaming purple stone.All of them looked hesitant. This stone was located
The young Vulkhaen finally reached its destination. The part of the cave that was very specious had a lake below. The lake's water was refined and of great purity.In the big lake, 25 snakes of different sizes and colours- big and small- swam with glee and the largest of them- a black-coloured snake- was on the shore just watching. Suddenly it perceived a familiar smell and its golden eyes lit up.Turning its head, it found to its delight that its suspicions were correct- the runaway youngling was back! "Father!" the runagate snake flew down to the shore of the lake and coiled its head around his father's."You finally know to come back, huh?""Yes, father. I'm so sorry. I won't ever defy your orders again. Please forgive me,""It's ok, son. As long as you know and acknowledge your wrong, it's fine. Hey guys, Tamesis is back!" Immediately, all the snakes left the water and flew to shore the moment their wings sprouted."Son, you finally returned," a feminine voice was heard from the
Wiyzh-Sybylle LandiaImperial Sacred Ceremony Ground. Those watching had anxious looks on their faces. The king put on a calm expression, even though his heart was thumping in his chest.But at the moment, he saw Phoenix's hair turn silver with cerulean ends, the calmness on his face fled, getting substituted by anxiousness. ‘Gosh! He’s planning to use his powers?’ the king became even more anxious. No, this mirror had to be stopped from showing any further happening. He didn’t care what people might say; he was king, who were they to complain?But Phoenix suddenly faced the beast with his back and then smiled, giving a signal that the king should let things happen as it should. Worst case, he’ll just present this strong beast's head when he comes out of the portal. The king sighed defeatedly. The first prince had resolved that if the people present on the ceremony ground found out he was actually a sorcerer and not a high-level wizard as they believed for so many years, so be it!
Forbidden Forest. Lavana’s mate exited the portal, landing on the ground on his feet. He steadied himself and saw the portal quickly close. Looking around with his now glowing viridian eyes to see where he was currently, all he could see were tall and wide sturdy trees that could likely be a few hundred or maybe a thousand years old. Their rough trunks were wrapped by various thin or thick golden vines. There were also numerous shrubs, each having different leaf colours. A few of them were known but the majority he couldn't identify. Hence, he had to be careful since the possibility of poisonous or lethal shrubs being amongst the plants was high. Ahead of him was thick white fog and it served as the gateway to the lair of the creatures he was to defeat tonight, Silgioth- ranking first on the top dangerous beasts’ list. He had told the king that this was what he wanted, so the king had the portal drop him right near its dwelling in this taboo forest. In addition to being hard to se
“Greatness of Wiyzh-Sybylle Landians!" the king called out solemnly, with his sceptre raised.In response, the others who were holding sceptres also raised theirs upwards. A resounding "For Eternity!' was heard from all subjects present.The king and the subjects repeated this action two more times, before putting down their sceptres. The satisfied king nodded with a small smile. "Tonight, we’re all gathered here for a special occasion. My son, Prince Phoenix has found a beautiful flower, the mate gifted to him by the goddess. All required rituals have been done up to this point. Now, it is time for him to demonstrate that he can guard the precious flower that he has found, from danger, even at the cost of his life. He will enter the forbidden forest and return by midnight with the head of a dangerous creature. With its teeth, he will make a special necklace for his bride. The beast's core, he will use as the pendant and engrave his name!”“Aye!” the crowd yelled, full of pep. “I, he
Two days later,First Wiz prince's abode,Phoenix's chamber,8:55 pm.Phoenix was back to normal; Now, he could wear clothes and touch himself without feeling any sort of discomfort. Lavana had long been taken away to her assigned residence to be provided special beauty treatments and perform a few other essential rites that required only the bride's presence. According to custom, the couple weren't to see or talk to each other physically before the wedding ceremony.On his part, he had to pass one more test meant for royalty, and that was to bring back the head of a dangerous creature in the forbidden forest- As assurance that he could protect his bride!It was to be done tonight, beginning from 10 pm to midnight- the task had to be done in two hours or less.He had just one hour before beginning the trial. Currently, his hair is neatly tied in a bun, his upper and lower eyelids are painted black and there is a necklace on his neck made from a conscious beast's dark brown teeth. His
The King and his wife were seated on his consort's scepter Alvana, heading towards the monarch's residence slowly."Extreme pain at being touched..." the queen pondered, "If anyone who touches Phoenix makes him feel a lot of pain, then why could his mate touch him without increasing the pain?" she wondered out loud."Probably because she's a mermaid?" the king guessed, "You know, it's rumoured that their touch is comforting to an afflicted soul," The queen sagely nodded, "It could be the case. I can understand that our son is a hybrid, being a wiz and Alpha Blood, that's why there are blurs covering his special places. But his mate is the same! Since when do mermaids have blurs? That didn't look like some sort of magic spell that shields others from seeing the private places either. It's sort of natural,"The king let out a defeated sigh, "Darling, you know she's capable of producing a fireball,""Yeah, I saw that. Even telekinesis!""Lavana is actually tribrid," the king revealed via
She made the pot levitate from the stunned doctor's hands and fly over to her. While it was still levitating, a small fireball materialised atop her right hand, shocking the others. Peter knew she had fire and ice powers, so he wasn't too shocked. But making things levitate, well, that was a first. "Okay, don't increase the fire, maintain it for five minutes," the doctor ordered after regaining his calm and she nodded her agreement. Anything, she would do, as long as Phoenix became well again. She couldn’t lose her darling mate!Doctor Alstein took out several coloured fresh herbs from his second spatial ring and put them in a white porcelain mortar taken out from his first spatial ring. He picked up the pestle that was in it and started pounding it with the right amount of strength required. Then he added some strange-looking fruits taken out of his second storage ring and continued pestling. When he was done, he squeezed out the essential dark green liquid from the crushed stuff i
