Just then, an idea crossed his mind. He know nothing about her, but was sure the creators would.“Through the creators, I would be able to figure out the mysteries behind her origin” He resolved. Striping off his mortal body, he transformed into his godly appearance, exposing his kingly robe and his body glittered as the sun. He gently lifted up his hand and faded into the air. God RealmThe excitement of being home enveloped his mind as he glided across the heaven’s gate. He inhaled the sweet scent of home and a smile of satisfaction sparkled in his eyes. He has missed his home, the views, the people. The memories were still fresh in his head, just like yesterday. Nothing changed, just him. He was happier and in love. The kingdom could sense the presence of their long gone heir. The children gathered to witness for themselves, the great prince whom the stories were told to them by their parents. The powerful and magnificent heir apparent, prince Zula'an. The protect
PRESENTLY“It has been two weeks since he disappeared without a word. I tried calling severely, but he is not responding. Do you think he is mad about the mail i sent?” she asked pacing to and fro. She has predicted how things would turn up after he reads it. Maybe his other personality has taken over him consequently making him forget he has a home to return to.“Calm down honey, maybe he is on a business trip, you know one of those trips that wealthy men of his status goes to" Katy shrugs. "Don't worry too much about the mail, take a deep breath and a bite of this freshly baked bread, am sure it will make you feel different” Katy encouraged. “All you think about is food kate! And of course i would like some of those, pass me the butter too” She requests, finally relenting.“I thought you said there were no strings attached? If i could recall vividly, you boldly denied that he wasn't your boyfriend” Katy winked. “Now you are worried because he hasn’t cal
The sun shone brightly, romancing the atmosphere with warmth. Students sat on the grasses and different locations caressing the warm rays. Lia leaned on the trunk of a dark Lamborghini anticipating Liam who left and promised to be back in a jiffy. Before his arrival, she hurries to resister some textbooks for a class project. Immediately she stepped out of the library hall and headed along the corridor to the exit door, Clark appears with his minions and stops her from going forward.“Hey pretty, hurrying somewhere?” He smiles evily.Before she knew what was happening, she had been cornered to a cubicle and encircled by Clarke's minions.“What is it Clarke?" She asked rolling her eyes. "I'm not ready for any of your troubles. As you can see, I have somewhere to be right now” When she tried to walk pass, he grabs her arm and pulled her back forcefully, making her arm hurt.“I got the news butterfly, I know how you and that jerk humiliated my brother Joe in front of everyone. Did yo
“Are you insane? The cops would come after us in no time. At least that is if we are not dead by then” Lia protest as Liam speeds across the long straight road.She screamed at the top of her voice, holding on to anything she could find for safety. But as the ride progressed, she began to enjoy the feel of it. Her fun was ruined by the siren of the police cars chasing after them.“Oh my God, I think we are in big trouble” She panicked, tugging the unconcerned Liam who continued regardless."Pull over, pull over now!" The cops shouted, following close behind."Few months ago, you only cared about your reputation. Aren't you bothered they might see your face and know it's you?" She asked, her heart sounding out of her ears."Don't spoil the fun, I know you are saying all these because scared" He teased. "The usual Lia is suppose to act bold in this kind of situation, or did you leave your courage back in the house?" He teased again."Believe me, if they knew I was a Michaelson, they
“We have to turn around, the road is badly damaged. We will stay in a hotel tonight and have my helicopter pick us by morning” he informed Lia. “Okay!" Lia nods without demanding to know much. There was no need of asking since he wouldn't unconceal a thing about himself.Before they got to a road side hotel, it was already nightfall. Walking into the reception, a lady walked up to receive them.“Welcome Mr and Mrs?”“Liam and Dahlia” He replied.“This is Campville hotel” the receptionist said with a welcoming smile. “Fortunately, we have just one available room for now. It is warm and comfortable for a newly wed” she winked at Lia who rolled her eyes and looked away. Liam knitted his eye brow in embarrassment, looking at the middle aged receptionist who got the wrong picture. He cleared his throat and looked away to another direction, like he was searching for something on the wall, but suddenly a plan came into his head, to use that as an advantage to taunt her. “We are not a cou
Seeing how agitated she looked, he clearly understood that she was nervous. He proceeded taunt her even more.“You don't have to all antsy, I'm a gentle man, so don’t worry. I won’t do anything funny to you. Not unless you want it” He said.“Pervert! She blurts with a clenched fist. “You will be dead even before you try”Hearing this, he decides to dare her further. He climbs into the bed, beside her."We all agreed that you are using the couch right? Why did you suddenly change your mind?" She shivered, thinking of what could happen if she stays too close.“I'm not carved out for couches. My skin is tender. Besides, the bed is wide enough for two. How about we demarcate the bed with the pillows into two equal halves, and enjoy our beauty sleep?” he suggests.“You do it, and I will choose first” she watched him demarcate the bed into two unequal half and dived into the bigger part.“You cheat! She yelled pulling him by his legs. But he lay sprawled on the bed. “You are the most exaspe
It was morning, she opened her eyes to breakfast resting on the bed shelve beside her, and a note on the tray. “Good morning sunshine!” It then came back to her in a flash, all the events of last night. She could remember vividly, how he asked her to be his girlfriend and how she had said yes. She touched her lips and smiled. His kisses were still fresh on her lips. The scent of his body still dominated the room. She inhaled it and smiled again.“Awake ah?” He asked from the door. Immediately, she adjusted herself and sits up. She didn’t want him to know she was too excited about the whole thing. So she avoided his gaze and tried to act cool. “Did you sleep well?” He asked unwrapping the paper bag with him. “Yes of course” she simply replied and uncovered the food on the tray. “I ordered some new clothes. I think they should fit perfectly” he shrugged. But there were no response from her. she just nodded and pretended to focus on the food. She was too nervous to speak. “Are
Liam rushed back to the mansion knowing something was wrong. He could sense Zaiya's presence, her scent was all over the air. He wondered what could have brought her to earth without his consent. But above that, he had to make sure Lia was okay. Walking into the living room, there was no trace of Lia. Turning to his side, he saw Zaiya wearing a welcoming smile."Welcome my prince" She bows with her face to the ground. But he turned his face away in disapproval, knowing what she had done."What did you do?" He roared angrily, his anger stirred a tremendous thunderclap."I exposed her to the truth my Prince, she had to know. She deserves it!" Zaiya replied courteously, with her face still bowed to the ground."And who are you to decide what she can and cannot know?" He thundered. The cloud darkened, following his dark gleaming eyes that portrayed great anger."Forgive me my prince, I was just following orders, a fealty" She tried to defend from his anger."Whose orders? How dare yo
The maids escorted her into her into the Queen's chamber and bids her wait, as they goes to tell the Queen of her arrival. As she waits, she reflects on Zaiya's words. She couldn't help but wonder what she did wrong to have deserved the cruel fate of death."Maybe i should stop now" She thought. Before she could think further, tears streaked down her cheek. "Why didn't you warn me of your father's plans? Would you have had me die before you do?" Lia asked rhetorically. Still she thought it was for the best, maybe he didn't want her to feel insecure and haunted."Dahlia?" A gentle voice called from behind. She turned to see the queen standing close to her. Building up her confidence, she tried to suppress the tears and pretend nothing was wrong, but her confidence failed, her tears ran even more. "Nobody said it would be easy" The Queen comforted, sensing her fears and doubt."I know what transpired between You and Zaiya. Your conversations""You do?" Lia asked surprised."Yes, I
Zula'an had entered the world of void where his mind, strength and weakness were being tested. He meditated, fought his darkness, cultivated his abilities and searched his flaws. As he drank of the up-flowing waters, it was revealed to him, the future regarding his reign, the dangers ahead.In one of the revelation, he saw Dahlia's death. She was stabbed by a flamming sword.The thought of seeing her hurt troubled him greatly that he could no longer focus on what was ahead of him. He tried to resist the thoughts as they were his deepest weakness. Only when he survived this tests and come back victoriously, could he truly protect her from whatever it was that he saw. Still, the thoughts persisted, haunting and testing his limits. Sensing this would happen, he had meditated for a long time to clear his mind of her; now, it was all back in a flash. His mother did promise to keep her safe after all. With this, he found hope and calm.Just when he thought thinking about her were his g
She dreamt of that endless moment of having him by her side when she wakes up. Fluttering her open, he was gone, like he wasn't there in the first place. She recalled how they made love. His scent persisted all over the room. The thought of it endlessly interfered with her present reasoning, but she didn't seem to care.She leaps on her bed excitedly, and constantly Pats her hands on her reddened cheek. The rest of the day seemed hopeful, he had promised to be back in a while. As time rolled by, boredom slowly crept it's way into her. On earth, she had places to go, like the movies. But out here, She had no one to mingle with. Her supposedly little sister would do anything in her power to see her gone forever.She paced to and fro, trying to get busy. She opened the door to her room and closed it. She did that over and over again, until she got bored and moved on to the next plaything she could find. She approached an object which seemed like a large mirror, and peered closely at
Walking into the queen's chamber, she tried to lighten up her countenance to avoid suspicions, but she could only hide her expression, not her heart."You sent for me, my queen!" Zaiya bowed with her face to the ground. The queen urged her to rise immediately."I have watched you grow as a child under my care. You were nurtured as a royal born and have always dinned from the table of royals since childhood. Such privilege and favour can only be given to a child of my own blood" She paused for a while, studying Zaiya's face carefully."Thank you for your immeasurable kindness, My queen. You have bestowed such great honour on me since birth. I shall continue to be a humble fealty to the throne as long as i live" Zaiya bowed again"I presume you know your fate child? Every immortal does" Zaiya nods in affirmation."What if I change your fate? You know it's not too difficult for me, I'm the fates queen""As a child, I was born with the fate of steel and bloodbath. Meaning I was destine
"I might as well give you a trophy" He raised her up on his shoulders and sat her up on the floor. 'This is a resumption from were we abruptly stopped before, my lady" He lustfully gazed into her eyes for a while and continued. "I want to have you so badly" he whispered into her ears. She was stiff and had her eyes fixed on a particular position. He trailed her eyes to see the queen standing a little distant away from them. She cleared he throat and looked away like she saw nothing."I hope am not interrupting anything?" But that was not his concern, whether she was interfering, he wanted to know if she saw or heard anything, he embarrassingly asked."Di... did you hear anything?""Even a deaf man could hear that" she mocked intentionally, gesturing her maids to leave them alone. 'But am not here for you' she turned to Lia who tried to smile to curtail the embarrassing situation. "I guess the prince must have told you about the occasion by tomorrow's noon? I know just the right outfi
Liam stood by the edge of the snow bridge, it was his favourite spot were he sought rest whenever he was in a melancholic state of mind. As she approached him, just a few step away from him, a feeling of alacrity rushed over him prompting a bright welcoming smile. "How did you know I was here?" He asked, surprisedly."The queen was worried. She sent me here""I was just fed up watching the pretense. Am sure am not the only one fooled by that quasi courtesy of hers""You let your anger ruin my first royal dinner, how are you going to make up for that?" Lia asked with a fake frown. He brushed a stray wisp of her hair aside and looked into her eyes playfully."How about I kiss you, that would do the magic right?" "I wouldn't know that. What if they execute me for making out with prince charming by the road side" He laughed briefly and stopped to gawk into her eyes."I'm really glad you are here with me" He leaned in to her kiss her, but stopped abruptly. "Someone is watching" he wh
The whole kingdom were gathered to celebrate the return of the prince. On the high tables were seated Zula'an and his father."The ladies seems to be far from this fine celebration" The king said, trying to start up a conversion with him. He looked way with cold indifference. His last conversion with his father proved fruitless. "Your mother and i think we should give you a chance, I believe you will make the right choice""That is so generous of you, My king!" The tone of his voice seemed rather unbelieving and mocking. He knew his father, the king would never let her be. He never cared for his feelings. He could spell out his father's character simply by looking at him. For a moment, he thought he did saw an element of care in them, Or rather, his mother's inflicted element of care. He still didn't care. In his heart, he was just a man who has never cared about his opinion. Too bad, all his life he has looked up to him, trying to follow the footstep of the great king until the
For a moment he regretted ever bringing her to the kingdom"We were happy before I brought her here to face all this humiliation" he clinched his fist with a bitter expression."I have seen the mortal to her chamber. She seems smart and preceptive. Something tells me she would make a great queen someday" The queen smiled, walking towards him. She was shocked to notice his expression which had a touch of both anger, sadness and frustration. She thought of something to calm his fears and worries. It was her worries too. She could feel them like a sharp blade pierced into her marrows. That was her greatest gift and curse as the fate's queen, to see and feel the pain and tragic end and also joy of others even when they do not feel it. She also was the goddess of love, so loving was inevitable. Tightening her arms around him, she whispered something into his ears."I have to tell you this, even if your father will hate me for it. I can't stand to see you like this after seeing those sm
Suddenly the statues begins to transform, kings after kings, until the ice palace was filled with exceptionally beautiful men and women dressed in all white flowing robes. They looked like teenagers, young and fragile looking. Liam was most surprise why they all had to wake up without being called upon. And Lia, she hid behind him, engulfed with fear although they seemed too harmless. Liam immediately bowed his head to the ground, along side Lia who hurriedly did the same. One of the kings stepped forward and urged him to rise. They conversed in strange languages, all staring at the unfamiliar woman with him.She also noticed something strange, they talked with such a loud voice, yet their mouths do not move? She quickly understood why, he had told her something about the mind to mind communication done by powerful beings. Now she was experiencing it. Their voices were smooth and their skin were flawless, he had thought Liam was an angelic and perfect display of beauty. Seeing t
