Three days and four nights later, Liam's soothing <Aura> subsided in the break of dawn.
But it was not over yet. Soon, he would start the final stage, which Zaha assumed to take just a couple of hours but would be the most difficult.
The clear consciousness he kept for three days and four nights straight started to heighten. And the sharpness of his senses to the outside world began to dull.
Now, he got focused entirely on himself. Then, finally, he came to the state of visualizing.
At the end of those critical hours, the number of people in the room increased. Harriet, Miriam, and Heath came, and not long after, Heinrich followed alongside the Old Duke and Old Duchess he met outside the hall.
Inside the hall now was the same member of the three days before, gathering together.
Ezra came in the morning to see how Ezekiel and Zaha were doing after a slee
The man did it one at a time, little by little, yet fast and precise. Strand by strand, fiber by fiber, Liam created his heart back. He was drowning in an ecstasy of creation while designing a complete vital organ with the perfect interpretation of his lover's heart.He remembered the way its muscle contract and relax. He remembered the feeling of its beating. He remembered the pumping of the blood and the flow after it. He remembered the sound and the harmony within it with the rest of her body.It was the perfect kind of heart.Her heart.And he wanted it as his too.The process became quicker. The tissues and fibers of the heart muscle the man created became more complex. Finally, it intertwined within itself, allowing blood to pass through and creating functional chambers to pump them to the rest of his body.He created a perfectly matched heart for himse
AWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!Instantly, the whole Northern City of Almandine was alarmed.And instantly, they knew danger was threatening.But they didn't know what it was.They didn't know the danger was their own Alpha—who fell into a rampage.CRAAASH!GRRRRAWRR!! RAAWWRH!!!Two giant wolves used their claw, anchoring to the ground as they tried their best to hold the blonde-haired figure to force its way forward."I don't understand, Granpa, Heath... why are you stopping me?" it asked.Its face was cold, emotionless, and aloof, seldom acknowledging the disturbance the two wolves gave him. Its pace was steady and calm, yet it brought horrifying tension into the space around it.All the people around were already scattering away. Some were too scared to move and fell unconscious
"I don't understand. He spoke just fine. He can understand us just fine!" Harriet slowed down, making the others had to slow down with her."Her Highness is right, my child. It's not right for you to face him now. The others are trying to calm him, so you must run!" Alameida said solemnly."Sister, you must listen to us for now. Maybe Brother-in-law can speak just fine, but we can feel how unfine he is right now!" even Miriam was begging Harriet to run.But...[Don't run, Harriet. Listen to me.]Harriet flinched.What was it?She heard something...She turned back and tried to look for the source of the voice.[Listen to me... I need you now. Come here...]It was a deep and clear voice.[Come here. Come to me, my mate...]Harriet could
The Solar Eclipse started that noon.Helena was standing on a small dock at the edge of a frozen lake. She looked into the eclipse's reflection on its surface while reminiscing about her past."Why are you worrying so much?"Next to her was Eoin Euclase, who was trying to fix her fur coat. The man glanced at her flat but worried face and showed the same level of worry on his."They're not Destined Mate. So she will be safe," he said.Helena shook her head. "I know. But if there's something..."AWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!The both of them flinched.The sound of a faraway howling wolf shocked them, as they were initially already worried."Something is wrong. I can feel it, Eoin," Helena said. "The Eclipse is always a bad time for me. Maybe I am just anxious, but I know something isn't right."
"It's good luck, right?" a man with short blonde hair said softly. "Father, it's good that we can finally expand our territory. But now, everyone is very busy..."The short blonde-haired man was talking to an old man in front of him. He was carrying a two weeks old little baby who was raising his small hands upwards."...and we can't watch the Solar Eclipse together as we promised..." the blonde-haired man smiled apologetically.Old Duke sighed. He realized it was his fault. Even though his good friend, Arun Kelev, told him to ask for help, he stubbornly refused."Now, it's a good time for you to take Liam outside. The moment is just right, and we can let the Moon bless him," Theodore, the blonde man said.Old Duke glanced at the little baby boy, flailing his little arms toward him. "Awoo!"Old Duke's face darkened as he realized there was no other choice. He
Unicorns... the fabled of the fabled. Or, well, a creature named after its appearance, the one-horned creature.Legend said it was an arrogant beast that loved maidens as sacrifices. Another legend said its body was the most valuable ingredient to create the most powerful elixir in the world.The Elixir of Life.No, not the Philosopher's Stone. The Philosopher's Stone could be called the Elixir of Life, but the Elixir of Life could not be called the Philosopher's Stone. The Philosopher's stone was something that could not be compared to anything, as it could grant any wishes.But the Elixir of Life could only give immortality if one so wished or cure any type of ailment."You are saying that Harriet was born from that same creature?" Old Duke asked the middle-aged woman in front of him.The room was quiet as everyone was waiting for the woman's explanation.
[25 years ago]Sigh...Orcenal Silverlane saw one of his partners, an old man with Eastern Styled clothing, shake his head sadly. "There's nothing valuable we can get here. Everything got absorbed into that baby's body.""So we can make any elixir from it?" Orcenal asked just to be sure.The old man shook his head again. "But we can have the horn and the meat."Silence enveloped the site as Helena looked around her and squinted her eyes. She hugged her baby tight, afraid that they would try to attack her and sell her baby."It's my miscalculation. Don't be afraid, Marchioness," Orcenal said while glaring at everyone else. The man was trying to send a clear message to everyone that he wanted to protect the baby.The troupe members turned their faces away. Well, the corrupted minds of ex-criminals and vigilantes with twisted morals might th
When Liam awoke, he realized he had done something terrible. In the darkness of the dungeon he woke up in, he tried to ask whoever was there to guard his prison cell about the most important thing."Is there anyone who got hurt because of me?"His deep and hoarse voice shocked the two Lycans guarding the cell. They immediately turned toward the dark prison room, with a pair of glowing eyes looking at them from within."Your Grace!"Both of the Lycan kneeled down instantly. It was not only because of their respect but also the suddenly changing air around them. It started to thicken again."Answer me."The Lycans gritted their jaws and braced themselves. "Some just got minor injuries, sir."Silence.The pair of lights slowly dimmed and disappeared into the darkness as they heard a low sigh."I am a
