The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 81 - Tsiri
“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

He retracted his claw and took a step back. This was a waste of time! He had a war to prepare for. “How did you find me?” She asked, probably wondering if that gem gave him those powers, accessing the obstacle she was against.A path swap was a random ability for her; her Gamama didn't have it, which was surprising. Not many did, though, but for good her Gamama was at channeling; it was indeed surprising. “You are a weak Channeler. I’ve lived with a far better one, you do not hold a candle to her powers.” “Your mother?” He said nothing but headed to the mouth of the cave. “My Gamama’s twin! The one your female killed! She is your family, how can you not grieve her?”Alaris turned to her with a shrug. “I never knew her. She was not my mother, she was no one to me. Even if they looked alike, they weren't the same. I didn't know her. All I know of her is her manipulative ways. She almost killed my friend just because she wanted to live. Her death was well deserved.”He heard her hear

[LYCAN'S REALM]The first thing Aniya noticed when she got to the Wuri Festival was that a lot of females had on veils just like her, with painted scars on their faces. Those with the costume scared others with it, allowing screams to make their way into the banging of the drums, ululating, and singing that filled the air. Oana was displeased with it and she quickly found the tent where the costumes and the face painting were being made. She wanted Eldrick and some guards around to bring the tent down; she wanted the tent owner to be dragged to the dungeon, but Aniya disagreed. She wasn't offended by the act. Instead, she found it hilarious that they would willingly try to be like her to scare others; it was a display of a power she held over them - to command their fear, and by imitating her, they had confirmed that, indeed, she was that powerful. “Let them have their fun,” Aniya had said. Oana had reluctantly given in to her but she led them to another tent to find their costumes

They spent about an hour mingling with the crowd, dancing, and singing. Without them knowing who she actually was, it was easy for Aniya to have company. Soon enough they had to retire from the fun and find food. Eldrick volunteered to go and find them food, and with an excuse from Oana that she would have to go with Aniya to sort out some lady business, they parted ways. The real reason for the excuse was so that Oana could take Aniya to the witch she thought could help her. They didn't want Eldrick to know about it because although Eldrick and Ikrus didn't see eye to eye, if Ikrus was still the Gamma and if he demanded a report of how the festival had gone, Eldrick would have to tell him everything. It would be an undeniable order. Oana had brought her to a small tent; a witch was in front of it, behind a small table, with a globe in her hand as she spoke of telling people their future. She was young and her light purple dress complemented her skin. She stared at them, a smile

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
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 142 - Meet Luna
“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
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 141 - The Deadly Price
“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.
