The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 132 - The Telling Necklace
“It displeases you. I apologize. Belladonna it is then. Who am I to make such cordial abbreviations as if I were a friend.”“No. It isn't the name.” She shook her head, looking away from him for only a moment as the thought went through her mind once again. “I am just suddenly very tired.”By the time she looked up at him once again, he was already right in front of her. Then in the next moment, he was pulling her towards his back.“Rest on this back for now. We can not afford to stop. I would have raced to our destination but I don't have enough life for that.” While he settled her on his back and placed her hands to circle around his neck for stability, Belladonna’s mind was somewhere else, somewhere very far away. Her heart was pounding with different overwhelming thoughts crossing and slamming against one another in her mind. It just couldn’t be. It was impossible.By Ignas, it couldn’t be him. That would make no sense.It couldn’t be Eli!His voice was different and so was his

Her hand trembled slightly and tears welled up in her eyes as she let out a breathy gasp.His hand met hers and he pulled the necklace away from her grip, turning it over in his hand. Then he looked back at her in confusion. “Why are you crying?” he asked, his voice filled with concern. “What do you see?” It was all too much, she didn’t know where to begin. Words moved past her lips faster than she could think.“My name is on your necklace. I gave it to you, remember? Back in Inaymi. Then you gave me the ring—”He stared back at her blankly like the words she was saying weren’t making sense to him. As if to confirm her fears, he said with a hint of panic in his voice, “your words make no sense to me. They sound incomprehensible.”He knew then, he knew that her words were important and like the Fates had told him, they weren’t making sense to him.Belladonna sprung into action. Of course words wouldn't work. It would be too easy.Her heart was racing wildly as she picked up a stick

Alaris couldn’t die like that, there was no way. He had to have been attacked on the way here, the flower was tinted with dark lines just like last time but it didn't die then.Belladonna was robbed of her time of thinking, because just as quickly as the soldier vanished, she was surrounded. It was an ambush.She stumbled back, her hand tightening around the flower, her eyes dancing with fear, her lips trembling to call for help before the painful realization descended on her that she was alone.Alone.Her hand tightened even more around the flower.ALONE!She huffed, letting the crushed flower slip to the hard ground and reaching for her bottle of herbs instead, her eyes fixed on the warriors as they appeared even more from the shadows of the trees that surrounded her.The beating of her heart slammed against one another recklessly, the bitter taste consuming her tongue, as she looked from one warrior to another, till one finally spoke - one that appeared to be their leader.“The W

When Belladonna woke up, the face she saw hovering over hers was the one she wanted, but it was gone soon enough and all she could see was an undead warrior.She smiled still. Smiled because he came back, smiled because she knew it was him.He apologized for leaving, he appeared extremely worried to have met her in the state which he did. He had wrapped her hand with a piece of his cloak and that must certainly have an effect on him, she knew. She wasn’t angry; anger wasn’t even close to anything she felt at the moment. It was an odd serenity.Too peaceful.He wanted her to take him to her friends and she nodded.Alaris. She must see him.“Your hair glows slightly and one of your eyes has dimmed into silver, are you alright?”“It must be the magic.“ Her hand was still hurting, she hadn’t healed yet. She frowned, looking around. This wasn’t where she had passed out. It was still the forest certainly but this place was different. “Where was this place?” worry took over her voice the ne

Her feet hit the ground with painful speed, as she ran; staggered and swaying, her eyes foggy with tears that she angrily blinked away continuously. Her joints were aching, her muscles straining too from all the pressure and the speed that she was forcing herself to move at. Her heart was hammering so loudly in her chest, it felt like it would combust; the sound so loud in her ears. She was running out of breath but she wouldn’t stop.She couldn’t.There was only one solution and she was going to get that solution. Her tattoo was fading, she was changing and Eli’s time was running out.When she looked up, the moon was peeking into the surface.“Ah!” she grunted with a hoarse voice, tears streaming down her face. She glanced back and pushed forward but she fell.She rose up, and tried to run again, but her legs buckled beneath her and she fell.No! By Ignas, NO!She forced herself to stand, resting against a tree. The tears were starting to well up in her eyes again.She was so close,

The next time Belladonna opened her eyes, she was in a boat on a river. Now where had she seen this before? It felt so strange, her body felt strange, everything felt strange. Her body felt light, like it carried no presence and she seemed to glow softly. There were people seated by either side of her and opposite her; all strange faces. Their bodies glowed lightly too. Strange. She had never seen them before, she was sure of that.There were flashes of memories fighting to emerge to the surface of her mind; fighting and losing. She looked around once again and her gaze settled on the person who was looking right back at her.Those silver eyes filled with rage and mockery.Xinora. That was all it took for the memories to rush back.SHE UNDERSTOOD IT NOW. SHE UNDERSTOOD EVERYTHING.SHE WAS DEAD.Alaris had killed her, had killed them both.Belladonna’s hand rushed to her chest to check if the hole Alaris had created by yanking out her heart was there but her hand slipped through her l

Belladonna wasn’t certain of what crimes Ximora had committed, but she had a great feeling it had something to do with her. It must be because she had lived instead of dying and had merged into her body. There must be one more person that had helped them to achieve that then. A High Being perhaps. Maybe it was this “Kore”. Well, that was none of her business. It felt oddly peaceful to know that Xinora would be punished even though she knew that the White Kong had greatly manipulated her. It was human for her to feel this way. If Xinora had not been in her in the first place, maybe she wouldn’t have died. Maybe things would have turned out differently.Well, things had turned out the way they were now and she had to take care of the present. The one who was paddling the boat slammed his staff on the boat floor and Belladonna felt something yank her away swiftly. The next thing she knew, she was standing in front of a bridge with a woman standing in front of her with a smile. “Welcom

The next thing Belladonna knew, her blindfold was ripped away from her and she was tossed roughly to the floor, her hands and knees bearing the brunt of the action. She expected pain but that never came. Oh, of course.The room was lit with red dim lights, however for Belladonna who had stayed in the dark for too long, the light felt blinding. The structure of the hall seemed like a throne room but it was of such an intricate design that she had no time to access it, the only thing that caught her eye was the strange, massive, dangling bed-like structure with curtains, connected with a chain to the roof of the hall; she could only assume that, it was too dark to see into the distance above. She rose to her feet and froze when she heard growls and gnashing behind her and she turned to look back, frightened. This beast, she had seen it before. Four-legged with three heads of mighty wild dogs, rough rocky skin with visible maps of the lava contained within. Vicious and ready to kill.

The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 147 - Happy Family (The End)
A pregnant woman's unwanted friends were swollen feet. Eli would usually help her massage them just as he was doing now. She was reading a book to him and he listened with rapt attention. His paintings adored the room, a piano at one corner, her sewing equipment at another corner with two studies joined to the room.He chuckled at something she read and she rolled her eyes. She had become quite irritable lately, little things would get on her nerves. It was just an interesting change to watch, especially because food was usually the cure, all kinds of food in their weirdest combinations. He had tried one once, it was terrible. She snapped the book shut. “By Ignas, do go on. I take back my laughter.”She seemed to have something else on her mind though. “Do you think I’m fat?”He smiled, “Like I always say, you are not fat, you are just pregnant.”“So you would want me like this?”He chuckled, the sound throaty as he buried his face into the crook of her neck. He moved quickly, she c
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 146 - It Is Us
Eli and Belladonna had come a long way. After death pays a visit, who would expect a joining ceremony?The trail was only hours ago and everything still felt shocking to Belladonna. She was the Kore and Eli was the right-hand man to the UnderLord. She was no longer a ghost but a High Realm that could move from one realm to another, and grant to only those who deserved it a second chance at life. She was a Kore with no realm of her own but one she must build from scratch. The Fate had dissolved the Kore’s realm after they based their judgment on the previous one. Luna and Ama had promised to help her in all ways they could and Belladonna was grateful for the offer. She was more excited about her ability to move from one realm to another though. She couldn’t wait to see her sister, Arlo, and Alaris even though they might not be able to see her. As Eli had told her, the UnderLord didn’t have a right-hand man for a very long time. Many Thanatos had been trying to acquire the position.
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 145 - Fates Unknown
“She passed two tests!” Ama sprung up from her seat., “There must be something—““You are not one of this council,” the Ghost High Being turned to her sharply, “so keep your voice out of the decisions.” Belladonna's eyes widened. Two tests! So Eli—- Ah by Ignas, she had been right. Where was Eli? Why hadn’t they let him come in yet?Ama smirked, “Still holding a grudge, Phosi? I see.”“Passed the two tests? It is obvious that she has failed. The rules are the rules,” The Sea High Being spoke, “she has failed. Pass the judgment, I have places to be.”Failed? Belladonna felt that painful jolt in her heart. What were they even talking about?!The hall seemed to share the same confusion as Belladonna, they whispered amongst one another. “Failed?!” Luna snapped. “How did she fail? It is not her fault that her soul didn’t align——““The rules are the rules! And you are not a part of this Council, stay out of it!” The High Being of the Sea snapped. “End this already,” he said to the Fates,
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 144 - The Trail
The days that followed were fast and the training was tedious, Luna helped as much as she could, probably more than any mentor ever would. Life in the Moonrealm was wonderful, but for the things that shattered her peace. After training in the Moonrealm for two moons, Luna had not-so-pleasant news for her. Eli was to undergo a test too, a single test.“He has to fight the UnderLord and defeat him.”“Who will train him?”“The UnderLord.”There was no way the UnderLord would train Eli enough to be able to defeat him. “He chose him to be his master.”Belladonna paused. Eli was definitely plotting something.“Also, the failure of one is the failure of both of you.”Belladonna blinked, the times and the trails were against them but Eli was no fool. He definitely had something planned. ——-——-[TRIAL DAY]The first thing Belladonna saw when she stepped into the hall was a woman on her knees screaming in agony, while three faceless people with the staff in their hands stood around her, the
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 143 - Preparation
Preparation“It is believed that holding the title of the Kore is a curse and there is a reason for that. Everyone that becomes the Kore always has a terrible end.” Luna paused as if considering her next words before she finally spoke. “Reincarnation should be beautiful, not filled with so many problems. Reincarnation and second chances, do you not think so, Belladonna?”Belladonna nodded, wanting to know about the Kore already, but instead of continuing with what she had to say, Luna drew a line in thin air, and a floating lightly illuminated map unraveled between them. There were different floating objects on the map, probably to signify places. “For your third test, you must be chosen as an apprenticeship for one of the Realm Lords.”“Chosen?”“It is quite tricky as it is your soul that chooses for you and if the Realm Lord of the one your soul along with thinks you are fit, then you will have passed the third test.”“I don’t understand. Something seems to be missing. What about t

“What?!” Belladonna yelled, grabbing Ama’s wrists tightly with rage. “How could not tell me?!”“How dare you disrespect me?!” Ama snapped her hands away from Belladonna’s grip, fury blazing in her eyes as she started getting bigger, losing the frame she had fitted herself into. Belladonna stayed firm, her anger refusing her to feel fear. How dare they drag Aniya into this? How dare they? If she had known, she wouldn't— By Ignas, she wouldn't have done this!To ruin another’s life for the sake of her happiness? Never!No.Then Ama stopped, looked at the castle, and was back to normal in a flash as if a thought had flashed into her mind to make her reconsider. “I will spare you the wrath of my mate only this once. You will not disrespect me again,” She said firmly but those were words Belladonna couldn't hear.They sounded like echoes in the background. Anger changed into fear, not for her but for Aniya.She fell to her knees and wept. “You must reverse it. Please, I am begging. Ask f

“Eli.” Tears were streaming down her face now.Finally, they could touch but this moment wouldn’t last forever, and they intended to exploit it for as long as they could.“Do you love me, Donna?” His hand cupped the side of her face.“You know I love you.” She slipped her fingers through his hair which had grown longer than she remembered. She had certainly not seen all of the real him when he possessed Jyris’ body. Now, he looked so different. “By Ignas, I do. I love you, Eli.”“And I love you too. No amount of this torture, nor of passage of time will take that away. I grant you the permission to forget me. You need not feel any guilt, it will be the best way of loving me.”Belladonna wiped her tears away. “It is ironic, you begged me to choose you in Gaya’s garden and I did not, and now that I want to choose you, you are begging not to.” The words spilled quickly out of mouth, as they tried to make the best use of their borrowed time.A glimmer of a smile snaked into his eyes. “It
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 140 - Lovers Meet
The journey to Eli’s dungeon felt like a repeat of past events, it was like a flash of what had happened after the Red Moon Ritual, a reminder of the time Alaris had led her to his dungeon. She had followed Alaris with worry and love for him in her heart, then she found him in chains and finally, she left his presence betrayed, sad, and a grounded hatred for him.It felt sickening to be in this type of situation again though under different circumstances. She wished it was over, she wished she had seen him and saved him. She heard his voice before she saw him. A shout filled with agony. Her heart clenched with pain as she prepared herself to see the worst. Ama stopped walking and Belladonna who was following her did the same. Why had they stopped? She couldn’t see Eli anywhere, in fact, she could barely see her surroundings; she could still hear his voice though, and that in itself was too painful to bear. What type of torture were they putting him through? Suddenly, the growls of
