How was the little one doing now? Earlier, when she first arrived at this island, she asked Thora to do something about the blood seal between her and the little one. Since she was experiencing pain, of course, Beatrix would know. She didn't want her to escape from the palace and use her powers unnecessarily. Thankfully, Thora had a solution and cut off the blood seal between the two of them. The little one would not feel anything and would think she was fine or maybe Phoenix was now with her. She internally sighed. Whether there was the blood seal or not she and the little one are still sworn sis plus they were in-laws too. It's best Beatrix doesn't find out about this and it's good for her even. She wouldn't want Beatrix to be constantly worried about her.Oceana at this point had awakened."You need to work on your voice. You are a disgrace to the siren race." "Eh?" Lavana asked in shock. This was the first thing her mermaid spirit said to her upon awakening from her slumber?"Gi
In any case, she was already here and she could not go back as a magical, glowing rune serving as a barrier was at the entrance of the cave.She slowly put down her hands and turned around so as to once more see the cave's entrance but instead of that, she saw something else. Seven huge fishes that looked so ugly that she wanted to vomit were baring their huge, silver teeth at her. She couldn't even see their eyes!"Ahhh!" she screamed while also launching ice chains at them but it didn't last long before vanishing."Eh?" she looked at her hands. Could that magical rune at the entrance be the reason? So she could not use her powers in this cave? Then there was only one thing she could do.She turned around and swam forward, diving into the pile of skeletons with her eyes closed. She soon broke out from the pile of skeletons and she opened her eyes to the same 7 fishes waiting for her with their mouths wide open. They were coming at her!She was baffled as to how these fishes appeared
Bloodstar pack.****Everyone was apprehensive. They'd discovered that Beatrix and Lavana were missing with no clue to locate them. Mel was at the spot where Lavana last stood, wearing a nonplussed face. Even if she was kidnapped, at least, the smell should linger on outside of the pack but her scent abruptly ended here. He had never encountered a thing like this.Her mate in particular was nowhere to be found either. What sort of temptation was this? By now Lavana should have sworn publicly and acknowledged being a member of this pack. Tomorrow, they were supposed to leave for the competition. Now all plans had to be put on hold!He returned to meet the others who were still clueless. Rolandro took out his phone to make a call."Who are you calling?" his curious wife asked."Rixon.""That organization's gonna milk us dry. I don't think it's gotten to that. Maybe they went out and will return." a pack member chipped in."Stop dreaming. They are missing. Plus without her and her mate,
He began to study the connection between all three eyes and found some minutes later that the point they all met was actually the fourth eye. "Now that's way better." he threw the dagger that was enveloped with his magic in the direction of the 4th eye. Upon coming into contact with it, the dagger evaporated but the array crashed. He quickly jumped in and saw that the array had mended itself again like nothing happened to it earlier. As expected of a peak sovereign tier array. Whoever set this up was a genius! Now that he was officially on the platform, he could see how terrifying the lightning ball was. At this moment, Lavana's eyes opened and she let out a terrifying roar that caused him to cover his eyes while being rendered to his knees. He witnessed in incredulity as her body absorbed that huge ball of lightning. Then the pillars above her separated from the meeting point and went back into the platform's surface. The holes that constantly launched water at his mate had also
“Hehe, trust your man.” he laughed and then increased his swimming speed. He got there in a minute and looked at her smugly. “So, I made it. Where is my reward?” he asked.“Come closer.” she beckoned with her right hand.“Ooh! I smell something. Is it the reward?”“Don’t dally, Phoenix.”“You don’t wanna call me by my middle name anymore?” he asked wearing the expression of a wronged pampered wife. But he still swam closer to her.She pointed at her face.“Is looking at your pretty face the reward?” he asked in doubt.“Phoenix, gimme a kiss.”“Oh,” his eyes started twinkling.“On my cheek. Don’t divert.”“Aww!” he pouted.“If you don’t like the reward…”“I like it very much.” he quickly let the bubble cover Lavana too and then planted a kiss on her face. He saw her smile.“Lavana, you’re happy?”“Well, you risked your life to get in here. I already forgave you. I just wanted to…”“It’s okay. I understand. I accept the little torture you gave me and I love this reward.” he placed his
"Beatrix? What are you doing here? How did you even get back?" Lavana couldn't help but ask after seeing who it was. The little girl turned her head to see her and her mate standing behind her with his hands behind him.."Big sis?' she called out in doubt and quickly got off the chair. She saw that her eldest bro was behind this tall, tan-skinned lady before her. The eyes and voice were the same as her big sis though. "Riri, you're doubting if I'm your big sis?" Lavana asked with a raised eyebrow."Um... I saw you were still um... smaller when I left and now, I'm seeing a tall lady with much more meat on her body. Of course, I'd question my vision." she replied. Then a big smile appeared on her face as she ran to hug Lavana but the latter simply dodged and she ended up hugging Phoenix's leg."Hehe, eldest brother." she laughed sheepishly. "Stand back. I'm not in the mood for hugs," he stated coldly."Haha, I already back off," Beatrix said with a smile. She then turned to look at Lav
Ten minutes later, they found Peter and landed behind him. Peter was seated on his flying scepter that was glowing with arms folded. He seemed lost in thought."Alright, you go to him. We're behind you, honey." Lavana whispered and pecked Beatrix's forehead before gently putting her down. Beatrix slowly walked to Peter and poked at his back. Peter turned his head. "You're done hugging your sister-in-law?" he asked with a long face."Um... not really," Beatrix replied in a tiny voice."Then why are you here? To bid me goodbye? Dear, that's not happening. If I'm leaving, I'm leaving with you." "Big brother, I'm sorry," Beatrix said while looking at her feet."Eh? What did you say?" Peter couldn't believe his ears. He looked at Beatrix intently to see if this was a fake standing before him."Big brother, I was wrong to lie against you. I promise not to do it again. I'm sorry. Can you please forgive me?""Forgive you? *furrow eyebrows* What makes you think I will?""I'm your little sist
The four stopped their performance and three of them applauded Lavana."Big sis, you were amazing! Your voice is the best I've ever heard." Beatrix praised as she held her big sister's right hand."Thanks." Lavana smiled and stroked the little one with the other free hand.Peter walked to Lavana. "You impressed me. By the way, how do you know this song? My drum symbol's even lit up.""Um… I just felt the need to sing. It kinda felt like I've always known it." Lavana replied."Really?" Peter asked in doubt. This song was a healing song of the mermaid clan especially sung by the sirens. He knew this Lavana here to be an Omega endowed with powers and able to hold his scepter without any backlash."Yeah, Peter." she nodded, still wearing a smile."But…" Peter got interrupted by a certain's someone clearing his throat."You're being too nosy, Peter," Phoenix said as he put his arm around Lavana's waist, pulling her closer.Peter wanted to roll his eyes.'Phoenix, I already know she's your
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
