The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 78 - Another Mess
[Dragon’s Realm]“Who is Eli?” Three days had passed since Belladonna had asked that question that changed everything. It was now certain that putting some much pressure on her memories of Eli had made her forget who he was. Their attempts to remain her and salvage whatever scrap was left in her mind had done nothing but worsen the situation.She had fallen unconscious several times. It made Alaris agitated and soon enough they had all decided that they wouldn't try to make her remember him anymore. The Priest suggested that they could try again after her mind has gotten strong again. Ny'ka had been happy to chirp that by then their chances would be worse than the one they had right now. “His soul is already beyond a path we can reach. By the time her mind is strong again, we won't even be able to get a channel to reach him. How about you give your memories to bring back this Eli? Or do you not consider the wishes of your lover important.” “She is not my lover,” Alaris stated. “Bu

“So, did it work?” Belladonna’s voice called back his attention. “No.”“Oh.”“But we can try some other time. Right now, you must rest.”“I don't need rest. My sister and—”“Your mind has to heal. You will be useless otherwise.”She finally nodded in defeat and went back to bed, while Alaris left the cave to train the warriors. No one knew what the White King was planning, they had to be prepared. ______Alaris didn't want to agree when Ny'ka had come to him and told him that she couldn't find a good student in the cave that could be taught Channelling. “They don't have the ability, it is not in their bloodline, neither do they have the mind for it. They are not used to the weight, they can't summon it, no one here is capable of being my student,” She had said to him, running behind him as he headed to his cave after training the warriors that evening. “Is this another stupid tactic to stay alone longer than necessary?” Alaris turned to her angrily and she took a step back. He

“Another presence besides the one she already has?” Alaris asked. “What?” The Priest asked as if that was an important detail he had somehow forgotten. The days he had spent healing his hand and drowning in his madness of a lingering hole for the return of the Heir had affected his memory somehow. But now he was getting better, the presence of the Heir was all he needed to be himself again.This war shall be won by them. IT WAS WRITTEN!“The Bearer of the Life Gem is connected to her. That is the connection she shares with the gem.”“Of course, that. Well, it could be the Bearer, then. But the connection is certainly stronger than it was before.”“Maybe because she now has the Life Gem in her possession.”“Indeed.”Maybe they had nothing to worry about after all, but that left one thing and they were both thinking about it. “It doesn't explain the sealed memories except if the stone had sealed those memories to grow its bond with her more. Seeing her now as its own Bearer.”Alar

“Yes. There are whispers going around that you are a traitor.” “I see,” She replied blandly. “Are you?”“Am I?” Tsiri shifted from one foot to another, obviously uncomfortable with the direction the conversation was taking. “Why does the Heir have you watched? What have you done? You know you can tell me anything. We can help you, Nyka.”We? Again, that only reminded her of what Tsiri was here as. They wanted to know what was really going on so they could speak of it between them and laugh at her behind her back. She knew all of this. “I see you are their mouthpiece.” She slapped her herbs to her arm. She could go back with the news of that and describe to them the claw marks in detail; that way, she wasn’t sending her back empty-handed. “Go back, Tsiri. Go to your friends.”“You are my friend.” Ny'ka frowned. “May I remind you, I killed your lover, Tsiri. We are no longer friends.”“It was his life against that or the whole Cave. There was no better decision.”For a moment,

It was a custom practiced in different Houses to appoint one of the finest maidens to please a visitor that was of high regard.Since leader Tyrek wasn't in the Cave, and Ny'ka was being watched; it was certain that the Priest had made this arrangement. Since they knew that his relationship with Belladonna was different from what they had misunderstood it to be, they had taken this step; a different thing from when they had first gotten to the Cave. “Did the Priest send you?” Alaris walked away from the bed, taking off his weapons and hanging them on the wall. “Yes, My Lord.”“You may go back to him. This is unnecessary.”“I stay of my own freewill. I want to please you, I will grant you the greatest pleasures, I promise.”He smiled, turning to her. “The only pleasure I want is a war won, my throne, and your freedom.” His gaze swept over her body; her thin brown dress that left little to imagination. “You may be in the wrong attire for that.”A coy smile played on her lips, and she

[LYCAN'S REALM]Aniya woke up furious. How dare she had slept in this kind of situation?! She marched to the door, but just as she was about to bang her fists against the wooden obstruction, it pushed open, and Oana stepped in with a frown. “I cannot believe he locked you up!” She declared. Aniya dropped her hands to her sides. “I can't believe you left me here all alone for that long.” “I thought my brother was with you.” Aniya folded her arms across her, and walked out into the hallway. “Don't even mention him, I hate your brother. If I hated him before, well now I hate him even more.” Oana was not pleased with that. While she had been with Goldie, she had hoped that Aniya’s relationship with her brother would blossom into a force to be reckoned with. She had heard from Eldrick that the North border wasn't disturbed yet, which was surprising because it didn't usually take this long for another attack to happen at the North Border. She had hoped to meet something different, b

Only the royal members of the Houses could shift into dragons. It was what made them special, what drew the line between commoners and royalty. There would be many members of the Royal Houses who would be leading the war for the White King. For his house, there was only one dragon, which was him. One dragon against many more; one inexperienced dragon against many that were experienced. Alaris knew the problem he would have to face soon, but he told no one of his worries; after all, if the head was afraid, then what would he rest do? Also, what was fear?That was beneath him. The warriors of the cave needed more training than ever though. They were lacking in number, but quality had always prevailed over quantity, so it wouldn't have been a completely dreadful situation if they weren't also lacking in skills. They didn't watch to see when fire would be unleashed upon them, they weren't observant enough, nor did they know what to do when faced with flames. One of them almost got

Alaris alerted the Priest immediately and, next the Cave. They all began their search for Ny'ka and Belladonna. Alaris headed to the passageway, believing that Ny'ka had someone made it there, taking Belladonna as hostage to ensure her safe journey to her liver, Ka'el. Although, Ny'ka had claimed that she only ensured Ka'el for her people’s sake and she didn't love him. She had also said that she didn't tell him about the Heir’s presence in the cave, nor did he know where they were hiding - as she had lied to him about their location, everything she had said could easily be lies.She had probably taken Belladonna, who was with the Life Gem with her, to earn the favor of a place and security with the White King, seeing that now her life was threatened in the Cave. He had been stupid to let her roam freely, stupid to think that the guards were competent enough to follow his orders to ensure that she kept only to caves while practicing. He was a fool!His mind had been so occupied w

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
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 139 - Falling Into Place
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.
