"I will help you. I am not your enemy" Lucas assured Mallik softly. Mallik is in turmoil. What Lucas is asking is something they should not share with anyone. If they did, then their very existence would be threatened. 'They think about you as the wild beast who killed your mother' his gut clenched painfully remembering those words. He is finding it hard to imagine being compared to the one thing that he is scared of and whom he hates as well. His resolve began to break when he remembered the words of the Dragon drifter. "We are all bound to the script written on the bowlder outside this village. If anyone could erase that script on the boulder, then we will be free from the curse to kill drifters" Mallik shared, leaving Lucas with frustration. "It's not possible to erase that script from that boulder. They engraved those words deeply. It's easy to break that boulder instead" Lucas muttered. He saw the script when he was coming through the doorway on that boulder. Those words are
In the treehouse, Lola is stretching her muscles. It's been a while since she stopped training. Her muscles felt tight and she is not feeling as flexible. But she began to train with a wooden sword she carved from a thick branch using the kitchen knife. After three hours of swinging in the air and stabbing her nonexistent opponent, she began to feel like her old self. After her practice, she bathed quickly and changed her clothes into a set of tight breeches and a shirt that belongs to Lucas. She folded the shirt and tied a knot with the gathered fabric on her right side. A hint of her mid-rift is showing. Lola felt confident and strong. She decided to test how far she can go before this bangle would force her to stop. 'I cannot sit in this house and do nothing. I need to do something, anything ' she thought. She walked downstairs with confidence and began to walk in the direction of the river, which is in the opposite direction of the village. To her surprise, no matter how far s
'Why is her anger scaring me so much?' he wondered looking at the aura of power surrounding her frame. 'She was not this powerful when i kidnapped her. Then how can she gain so much power in just a few days? ' he thought with wonder. His gaze went to the bangle around her wrist. He can see that it is still working. He is not understanding why it is not affecting her like it should. She should be weak and helpless. That bangle will never allow her to gain her strength back. It will not kill her, but it will not let her become strong either. He made her wear that bangle to suppress her and make her vulnerable. He wanted her to be at his mercy like his prey. But that's not what is happening here. She regained her strength back, which scaring the predator instead. "What? My life is hanging by a thin thread? Are you sure Valmore?" she asked him sarcastically. Valmore frowned. 'What is she talking about? Why does she sound so confident? ' he wondered. "Of course i am sure. Did you for
"I lost it" he confessed with fear. When Lola heard his confession, she became furious. She withdraws her blade and slaps him across his cheek. Valmore fell down by the force with which he is slapped. Now his cheek has five finger marks, which are gradually turning blue from red. Lola bent over a little with a furious expression on her face. "What do you mean by you lost it? " she demanded angrily. Her eyes flashed into a shade of aqua blue, which scared Valmore more than he already is. Valmore crawled back to move out of her reach. The side on which he is slapped is swelling, forcing one of his eyes to shut. Despite his efforts to move out of her reach, she pulled him closer by grabbing him by his shirt collar. She lifted him halfway up and to her eye level. "You idiot. First, you kidnapped me when i was vulnerable. You tried to take me away from my mate. And then you forced me to stay in this place by locking this stupid thing around my wrist. Now when i want you to remove this
Lucas and Lola are looking at Valmore, who is coughing on the shore as he greedily began to take huge gulps of breath. He is still sweating from the shock of being killed by a woman he lusted after. To him, she looks like a fierce queen.Lucas diverted his gaze from the lord of the fairy guards and stared at the snake bangle which is snugly sitting around Lola's wrist. He is feeling like killing Valmore. Without removing that bangle, it's impossible for her to go back to the summer realm. She will be forever stuck here. One after another, the fairy guards are sure to stumble upon her, and they will all be killed as well.This is not the way Lucas wanted things to progress. This is not the life he wanted for Lola or himself. She has responsibilities and she should get out of this prison."Do you know any other way to remove this thing from around her wrist?" he asked Valmore with barely contained anger.Valmore is now shivering on the muddy shore and is sitting up with his hands wrappe
"It's useless even if they know about it. The moment they sense your presence, they will forget about the spell and come at you to take your life" he said with a frown. Lola knows that. But she has another idea. "What i am suggesting is that, if one of them knows the spell, then you can learn from them and use it on me? Or even Valmore can learn it properly and undo this mess?" she suggested, showing her bangle. Lucas gave Valmore a stern look. "I know nothing about these things. So it leaves you to learn it properly and release her out of that. If not, you know the consequences" he said casually. Valmore sighed with resignation. He knows he doesn't have any other chance left but to obey the dragon. "Alright," he agreed reluctantly. The spell is quite dangerous if cast wrongly. He knows that and he is scared about the same. But this is the mess he made and it is his responsibility to clear it. As long as Lola stays in the village, it is dangerous. She is like a ticking time bom
It turned out, that the entire village is searching for Valmore. When the physician went back to his house to feed him medicine, he is shocked to find that Valmore is nowhere to be found. So he became worried and announced the news of their lord's disappearance to the entire village, making them anxious. Thus they frantically began their search for their missing Lord. "Why didn't you ask one of us to accompany you? You just recovered and simply left like that without letting us know. Do you know how worried we were?" the physician asked Valmore with a disapproving frown. Valmore is feeling blessed to be given such a loyal family. "I am sorry, i just left like i usually do. I didn't think about you guys. I should have informed one of you" he softly apologized for making them worried. He obediently opened his mouth when the Physician came and fed him yet another kind of sour liquid. The Physician smiled at his lord. "I am not asking you to inform us about everything you do. But you
After Lucas and Valmore left, Lola decided to stay near the shore for a few minutes. She was locked inside that house for too long. She is feeling claustrophobic and she is longing for a breath of fresh air. So she sat on the shore with her gaze trained on the water. The sound of the water flowing is so soothing, that she began to feel like she is sitting on her mother's lap. But she was not alone for long. After a few minutes, she sensed someone coming her way. Their gait is focused and confident as if she is their target. 'Not now, I don't have enough patience to deal with another fairy guard ' she thought. But she doesn't have any other choice. She has to face him head-on and defend herself or die in his hands. She stood up from the ground and dusted her breaches off the dirt. Her back is still facing the fairy guard who is approaching fast. His feet hit the grassy ground with a heavy thud. She noticed that her senses heightened. She can now see the invisible speck of dirt hangi

To date, not a
Lucian began to court Faiya, which Lucas didn't like at all. "He is trying to win her over" he grumbled one day with his wife Lola. Lola laughed at his anxiety. "Why are you so against it anyway? She came of age and he already asked your permission for this. You agreed then with the condition that he should not court her untill she turns eighteen. Now when she turned eighteen and he is trying softly to win her heart, you don't look like you are liking it at all" she pointed out. Lucas grumbled with displeasure. Lucian asked his permission for Faiya's hand a few years ago. He know Faiya dosent like Lucian much. So Lucas agreed thinking that his daughter is never going to accept Lucian because she doesn't like him. But now, she doesn't look like she hates him anymore. He dosent want to know what Lucian is doing to soften her towards him. "She is still young" he said instead. Lola smiled at him softly. "She might look younger to you, but she is an adult now. She can take her own de
Faiya noticed Lucian coming closer. She panicked and fled from the ballroom where the party is being hosted. Lucian smirked and closely followed after her.Faiya ran out of the ballroom and out towards the courtyard. She knows he will find her if she runs into her bed-chamber. Lucian is very talented. He has the talent to unlock any lock in seconds. Once she made the mistake of hiding in her bed-chamber. But he unlocked the door and walked in, effectively trapping her. She ran into a dark corner and hid behind a tree with thick branches. She hid there for a few minutes. When she didn't hear any approaching footsteps, she peeked from behind the tree and came face to face with her tormentor.She gasped with shock when she saw him standing right in front of her. With each deep intake of her breath, her breasts are touching his hard chest.She tried to move away from him, but he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her beck into him, leaving little to no space between their bodies
Epilogue 1, Sneak peak FIFTEEN YEARS later.. Today little Faiya turned 18. Lucas and Lola arranged a big party for her. Faiya is innocent. Lucas is too protective of his daughter. The little physical training she received is because of her mother's insistence. 'She doesn't need to train so hard' This is what Lucas always complains about whenever he finds his daughter training. 'She has to ' This is how Lola replies. Even though Lucas never liked it, he couldn't say no to his wife. Thus Faiya is trained in the art of fighting with weapons. But that's where it began and it ended. Lucas sheltered her and never let her see the bad and worst around the world. Faiya always looks at the world optimistically. She tries to see only the good in people. Even though she is pampered, she is not spoiled. She respects everyone, no matter their status. But as much as she is pampered, the same cannot be said for her little brother who is three years younger than her. Lucas forced him to trai
Lola giggled at his comment.Ares sat beside her. His body is weak and he is sure he will not live to see the sunrise the next morning. So he came to spend some time with his son and daughter-in-law. "A few years ago, all types of women used to flirt with me and I used to get annoyed by their behavior. It's not like I will ever miss those days, it was like a nightmare. It was quite difficult to navigate at a party or a gathering without being flirted with and surrounded by women. None of them wanted to have a meaningful conversation with me. It was so tiring" he shared with a wince when he remembered those days.Lola giggled at his experience. "Must be hard" she commented.Ares chuckled when he remembered how he had to hide in the bathroom just to get rid of a clingy woman at a party."You have no idea" he agreed.They shared a laugh at his expense, before becoming quiet."You are sad" he pointed out what he noticed earlier.Lola looked at her open palms with a dull face."I will m
In the human world, Lola met Nyra and Bella for the first time. The three of them became fast friends soon after. Drake, Blaze, and Lucas were chatting with Ares and Michael. Lucifer joined them as well. Faiysha is happy that everything she planned for the fairy world is fulfilled. All the three protectors accepted their responsibilities happily and she doesn't have to worry about anyone or anything. She can leave this life and start a new one with full of hope and lots of love."What are you thinking?" Ares asked Fayisha.She diverted her gaze away from her children and gave her full attention to the man whom she loves with all her heart."They all are happy" she pointed out.Ares looked at the people whom his wife loves like her own children. All six of them are laughing and joking with each other. They look happy and carefree. No one would think that they are the powerful rulers of the fairy world. They look like normal people, not the kings and queens that they are."That I can se
After taking care of Lucifer, Lucas came back to the corridor where Belial is. Once pristine corridor is now filled with blood, gore and bodies. Dillon, Valmore and Baron are fighting against Belial. But even being singled out, Belial is effortlessly fighting the three of them off. The three of them are injured, but none of them refused to retreat. They kept fighting, even though their bodies are begging them to stop.Lucas walked closer, which Belial and the others noticed. Belial tried to run away, but Dillon remembered what his brother-in-law wanted him to do earlier. So he spilt the oil from the oil lamp beside him in Belial's path, so that he would slip and fall. Just like Lucas thought, Belial didn't notice the oil in his haste to run away. He stepped his foot on the oil and fell down. Dillon, Valmore and Baron moved aside, giving space for Lucas to take care of Belial. When Belial saw that Lucas is standing right in front of him, he picked up his sword which slipped from his
They say we don't understand the real value of anyone or anything until we lose it. Lucifer is now regretting everything he did which led to his fall."Are you not satisfied yet Belial? You fed me nonsense and I believed it. As a result, I was disappointed in his grace and fell from the sky. What are you trying to do? We had everything back then. But you made me push everything away. Now, after so many years, you are trying to kill me? I always believed you and trusted you. But you played with my trust. Why? What do you want?" Lucifer asked with anger, as the foul taste of Belial's betrayal is making him feel nostalgic.Belial snorted mockingly."Power, I wanted power. You are powerful yet so humble. I wanted to become a god as well. But I was never given a chance to become one. Faiysha was younger than us. But yet she was given a chance and was blessed to become a goddess. Now, look at what happened. That silly woman fell in love with Ares and ruined his life as well. He was so power
Belial pulled Lucifer out of his chamber, while his eyes constantly monitoring his surroundings. He is not so shocked to see the demon guards materializing from the shadows in the once empty corridors. Now the palace is not empty. Every single corridor is filled with warriors who are ready to kill Belial at any given moment. The quiet surrounds are now filled with tension so thick, that it could be sliced with a knife.Belial is tense as well. He never thought he would be tricked like this. He knows no one would dare to hurt him as long as he has his saber aimed around Lucifer's neck. He is outnumbered. If not for Lucas and Lucifer, he can easily take care of these warriors. But Lucas is more powerful than Belial and it's impossible to win him in a one-on-one fight against him.Lucas is quietly following Belial and is waiting for an opportunity to strike. He saw how red Lucifer turned as soon as the holy water touched him. He can see that his father-in-law is in so much pain. Lucas no
