"Have you found anything on him yet?"

"I'm working on that too. Just ensure you keep staying away from him. What about the bottle, did you give him any of that?"

Belladonna suppressed a scoff.

"He hasn't given me any need to do that yet."

"Great." Kestra leaned back. "Just ensure to do as I say. Exactly as I say." She emphasized. "I will not lead you astray."

Astray.

That word.

Astray.

That was exactly what she wanted to do though.

All this while that she had been preparing her for the sacrifice.

The 200th bride.

"Of course, I know I can trust you, Lady Kestra."

She could see a flash behind her own eyes, her reality clashing together, her gaze became fixed on Lady Kestra's neck, watching every movement, blood running hot in her veins and her heart pounding more in her chest the harder she focused.

The needle in her hand would sink straight into that skin, puncture something and that would be it.

All their problems, gone just because of one needle.

She should do it.

    Collin rushed around the room, a goblet in his hands as he approached Kestra who was pacing around barefooted, bumping against some things as she did.The sound of the muttering from her lips clashed against her farts that ruptured through the room. "Stupid child." She muttered, her hand resting on her belly."This should help," Collin said, handing a glass over to her, and she swallowed all the content of the goblet in one gulp, yet her stomach was still a rumbling mess.It might take some time for the medicine to work. The foul smell had completely taken over the room, if Collin didn't feel a deep sense of duty towards Lady Kestra, he would not be here enduring all this."She put something in the tea, I'm sure." She stood up from the edge of the bed she was sitting on. "I should have her executed for this."When Lady Kestra had disrupted the meeting with the rumbling sound that had come along with that life-threatening smell, Collin who had been at the door, rushed away from the m

    Nadia bit her lips, nodding to herself vigorously."I thought so too. That wouldn't have been good."This felt unreal. It was like watching a different person that had features of Nadia, but it was Nadia that was standing in front of her alright, just a different version of her that Belladonna had me seen. "My grandmother said I have I fight to fight back against bullies and Lady Kestra is a bully." She moved her shaky hands through her hair, her gaze moving from Belladonna to the trees some distance behind her. "I was so brave then, while I was putting something in her tea," a corner of her lips lifted in a smile, before it quickly disappeared, "but now, I'm so scared. Lady Bell, what if the King feeds me to his mad dragon for this?"Belladonna moved closer to her and held her shaky hands, giving her assurance that wouldn't happen, before quickly shifting to the topic that she was interested in knowing more about."That is a great lesson from your grandmother. She must be so fun."

    The room Alaris had teleported them to could as well have been made out of gold. Belladonna couldn't figure out whose room this was, but she was sure of the village they were in. Never could she have believed that tales were true. They were in Aniktaki, the first village of Ignas, one that was well known for its wealth and a large expanse of land that nothing could grow on but had treasures buried beneath. Gold, diamonds, silver, many treasures, one could only dream of. This was the land of mines and overflowing wealth. The room seemed to glitter, almost everything was covered with a golden surface.Belladonna took in a deep breath, hopefully, this room would be empty, although the lit candles hung on the wall didn't promise that."Alar--""Who are you?" The voice of a young woman standing at one side of the room, with a white towel wrapped around her startled Belladonna. "How did you get in? What do you want?"Belladonna took a quick at the woman. She was tall, her hair was dy

    "I'm scared, Mother, I'm scared. Sufi did not live after they took her child."Taria sobbed, her mother pulling her close.They were both kneeling on the floor now, her mother's eyes red with unshed tears. This was her only living child. It hurt that she couldn't protect her."You are not your sister."((I will upload the bonus chapter for the golden tickets tomorrow, after the test I am preparing for right now. Thank you so much for your support.))"How are we different? Father did this to her too.""You will not die, Taria.""And if I survive, I'll be a Tower woman. Locked away forever for dishonoring my womanhood and bringing shame to my family, flogged day and night for a crime I didn't commit."There was a pause."I don't want to be Tower Woman," she said in a small, weak voice. "For every day of my life, till I die, I will come and see you."Taria pulled away from her mother roughly, standing on her feet. Was that all the comfort she could offer? That she would come and see h

    ((Note - Alaris is still in Taria's body. If Alaris is being mentioned then it is from Belladonna's perspective because she knows. If Taria is being mentioned, it is still Alaris but most likely from another person's perspective, because they don't know.))"Just move your body anyhow I tell you to. You seem pretty flexible," she answered casually. "You'd like that won't you," Alaris said with a grunt, then he cast her a glance. "I don't know about my flexibility but you seem pretty flexible to me."Smack.Her hand swept right through the air. "Ouch," he rubbed his arm, exaggerating the pain. "Sorry, Taria.""Apologize accepted."Belladonna rolled her eyes, "I wasn't apologizing to you.""For now, I'm her, unfortunately."With an exhausted sigh, she said, "Please, shut up."Sometimes, she felt like sewing his lips with her sewing machine. "Or what, you'll fall deeper into the crazy attraction you have for me---" his words cut short as her hands went around him. It was a change tha

    Slim fingers with red, long polished nails moved over the exposed arm of another. Frost formed over the place of contact. A struggle.A muffled groan, because that was all the one being put through this torture, could let out. Nadia's mouth had been stuffed with a piece of clothing, gagged. Her hands and legs were chained to the table she was laid against. Her eyes were wide open with the pain the cold brought her, it went deeper than the skin, she could feel it. Kestra pulled away abruptly. "It's beautiful, isn't it?" She turned in the direction where Collin was standing. She had said she needed a fresh and new soul, had even specified who exactly she wanted and he had brought her to him as quickly as he could. This man, what will he not do for his family?A castle that was built on the clouds, was what his hope was. She prayed that he would keep staying in his delusion. How else was she supposed to use him if he wasn't stupid and blindly hopeful?"It is beautiful." He said,

    There were writings on the wall.In a language she had never seen before but could somehow understand. "How are you doing that?" Alaris asked again as the words clatter out of her mouth, and she took a turn according to the writing on the wall, a torch that was hung on the wall, lighting up as they approached.They had been doing this for about five minutes now, following the instructions on the wall. "I don't know," Belladonna didn't want to think too much about it, this wasn't the time. This cave gave her an eerie feeling. Everything was going too smoothly and they still hadn't come across any obstacle yet. Also, Motu hadn't come along to get Taria yet, or maybe he was trying and the chaos of finding her was already happening above them. All that didn't matter for now though, she had to remain focused and get out of this dream as quickly as possible for everyone's sake. "The language isn't from this Realm," Alaris said behind her. "What? So it is from where you came from?" Bel

    It was death to go back the way they came. Skeletons pushed out from the cave walls and poured from that direction room towards them, racing as their inhuman growls filled the air.An army of the dead. It was a horror Belladonna had never witnessed in her entire life. Maybe the necklace was indeed a trap after all.The fun of leaving unsolved mysteries as mysteries was staying alive. Moria was wrong and the people of Aniktaki were right to have decided not to concern themselves with this cave. Well, it was too late for Belladonna now. Wasn't it?Her running steps fell into sync behind Alaris and he raced away in another direction, with his hand tight around hers in a firm grip.She followed blindly, her steps unbalanced and uneven sometimes, her body juggling everywhere from the desperation of her run until she was side by side with him. Every turn he took, she did too.He lead and she followed. Simple.No questions asked. "What is that?" His breath sounded a little too even

    “What is this?” Ny'ka asked, racing up to her feet.“The Stones of Prophecy. I already told you,” Ka'el replied, rising to his feet too. He groaned a little, his ribs hurting from the force that had tossed him aside.The stones had suddenly fallen to the ground, scattered; they were still glowing though. “I mean, what do they do?“I don't know!” There was a bit of panic in his voice, then he started to mumble to himself as he fell on his knees and started trying to collect the stones. “The King believes his daughter is in the Rebellion, and there are rumors of the Heir; he thinks they are working together.” He stopped and stared up at Ny'ka who watched him with a frown on her face. “That is why the Moon and the Sun came up in the sky because she is really here? But you said it didn't happen here, that it was from another Realm. It is from another realm, right? It isn’t true, Is it?”Ny'ka tried to grab one of the stones from Ka'el but it held it away from her. “Is his daughter truly

    Then she felt like she was drowning and her words vanished from her lips. It felt like she was right in the lake and above it at the same time, hovering over the water and looking at the drowning child, while the drowning child looked back at her, struggling. Then she was finally in the baby and she could see Xinora floating over her as she felt herself dying in the baby — felt the baby dying. She saw Xinora stare right at her mother, who froze immediately like she had seen a ghost - it was what she looked like anyway, what she seemed to be. Then Belladonna felt the presence slam right into her immediately. Xinora had vanished and was now inside her as one being, the moment of her almost death creating the perfect space for Xinora to fit in. But just as Xinora had merged into her, she dissolved into the back of her mind like a mere pest fighting against a strong host. Her mother pulled her out of the water, her gaze blank and cold. Without a word, she wrapped her in a piece of clo

  • The Dragon King's Chosen Bride   113 - "Forgive Me." "I'm Sorry."

    Trigger warning: Dealing with rape aftermath (from victim’s perspective) on page, and baby drowning on page. _________Belladonna paced the room. Two nights have passed since Alaris and her had discussed about Xinora. The Rebellion was healing, and she had sought out Ny'ka to help her with creating portals; although she knew that it might not work, just as it hadn't been working, but that was just how unpromising Channeling had been, and it had worked eventually. That wasn't the problem though. The thing was that Ny'ka was nowhere to be found. It didn't take long for her to figure out where she was.She was with Ka'el, most likely inquiring about their recent failure.Alaris had confirmed her suspicion, and here she was, in the room, trying not to drive herself mad with every single possibility that was crossing her mind.The Priest had drawn a tattoo on the top part of her chest, a little distance from her neck. He had smeared it with the blood of an animal, chanted some things th

    Ny'ka went to Ka'el that night as the Heir had ordered, only to find out that he was with someone. Tsiri?What?What was she doing here? Why was she here? How long has she known about Ka'el? How did she get here?Why was she here?By Ina, what had she told him?!The White glow of the crescent moon above glimmered down on them through the shadows of the scanty leaves of the tall trees around them. The smile on Tsiri’s face was plain for Ny'ka to see, just as obvious as the doubt that dotted Ka’el’s eyes. What had she told him?!“Is it true?” Ka'el asked, his fist tightening around the small bag he had in his hand. She wondered what was in that bag but his next words made her aware of the greater problem she had before her. “Are you just fooling me?” He asked as his free hand anchored around Tsiri’s waist, making her smile widen. Disappointment flashed in Ny'ka's eyes and she frowned, blatantly ignoring Tsiri. “Fooling you? What nonsense are you talking about? And why are you with o

  • The Dragon King's Chosen Bride   111 - Xinora? Belladonna?

    “Nightshade, do you have any memories of Jyris?”He was crouching in front of her. This room suddenly felt too small. Where was the air of ease?“No, except that he healed my ankle, gave me that gold ring that you tossed away and he was at the table with the King. Nothing else. I’m trying to but I don't remember anything else.” She wouldn't tell him about the strange feeling of familiarity she had when she had first seen him. That would be too dangerous. “You were in her dreams even when you weren't in captivity. So can you just go into people's dreams? Can you still do that?”“No. Her dream was the only one I could get into without being in captivity. But My freedom does come at a price. It was hard to lure the brides with my soul, and certainly, I prefer this freedom to that.”“Did killing her hurt you? Since the gems are supposed to be a pair.”“I struck her stomach.”“Why didn't you strike her in the heart or behead?”“I wanted to behead her and take her heart as my own; a litt

    He heaved a sigh and sat next to her. “Well, it was after being King. I think the wars I had fought strengthened the connection with my gem; the lives I had taken fed it, and I dreamt of Xinora — well, she dreamt of me. It was the first time I would be in anyone's dreams.”Belladonna nodded, taking a mental note of that. “She was crying and lonely, and because the Gem perceived its master to be distressed, it sought a connection and found me. Xinora was terrified when we met; I was confused, too; it was strange. But then, I realized who she was and why I was there. At that time, I really wanted to come back here, to Vestros, but I knew it wasn’t time, I wasn't powerful enough back then.” He paused, before he continued. “The White King would kill me easily, but being in her dreams was like fate being on my side. She was the only weapon that could be used to kill me—”The only weapon?“Wait. Only a Bearer can kill a Bearer?”“Yes.” “So,” she turned to him squarely so she wouldn't mi

    “And you didn't tell me? Why?”“It was over two centuries ago.” He stood up. “She stayed dead during those times, why would I think anything would come out of her now?”Belladonna said nothing and Alaris continued. “With you, I believed she had already been replaced. A new Master, her time was over, gone. The gems will always have their masters, I have discovered. At first, I was worried, but then you proved to be more than one with a mere link.”“I had visions of her. I told you everything.”He shrugged. “I thought it was just her lingering presence since she was the one who was connected to the gem before you. They are just mere visions, they don't suggest a powerful presence to get bothered about.”“You must be joking,” she stated, flabbergasted. “I had dreams of her every time and nothing ever really happened as a result,” he replied with a dismissive tone.“You know that is not true.”“Nothing “real” ever really happened.”With a realization, she stood up. “You are doing it aga

    It felt compelling to desire more, it felt right… yet it didn't.Alaris pulled away being the first one to snap back from the spark pulling them together. “I’m sorry, I shouldn't have done that.” He was gone in a flash, leaving her flustered. She couldn't think; the foreign and overpowering feeling was a driving force that sent her out of the room to go after him. She did, reaching the surface, however, and feeling the warm glow of the moon on her skin. Something else seemed to have possessed her, and she went towards the lake instead, strangely seeking the comforting feeling of the water and the floating relief. The reflection of the full moon was cast over the still water and the trees seemed to create a path for her. She walked into the water as a shadow warrior emerged from behind her; the only one of Alaris' shadow warriors that wasn't killed. It swiftly moved into the water, reaching out to pull her back but she turned sharply to it. “Go Back!” She ordered, her voice a gr

    Breathing heavily, he turned back to her. “I’m sorry— I just— I was afraid that you’ll shift—”“I have been terrified that this day would come but I thought I was stronger, as strong as I was in your Realm. I knew I would be lacking the moment I saw that annoying thing healing your ankle with his flames,” he laughed, the sound dry of humour as he swept his hand over his hair, pushing it back. “At that moment, I knew there were many things that I lacked, many skills, so many things. I might have been a King there but here, I am like a child. I’m not better than any of those dragon shifters. I’m useless.” “You are not.”With a huff, he sat down next to her, feeling exhausted. “My pretense to know what I am doing can no longer save me. I’m fighting a lost war, Nightshade and you can see it.”He turned to her, to find her shaking her head. “Don't lie to me.”“I’m not.”“Alaris—”“Don't try to inspire me, it won't work.” “I wasn't trying to inspire you, I just want to tell you how disap
