Lola's eyes widened with realization.'Yes, I can talk to you with the help of our bond' she thought so that he could hear her thoughts."We can" he confirmed out loud.Lola gave a wobbly weak smile."Tell me what happened. Why have you become so weak? What is that thing hanging around your wrist? Did he trap you to this treehouse with that thing?" he asked anxiously.'You guessed right. He trapped me here so that I could not escape. This bangle keeps sucking all of my energy. He locked it in place using a key which he hid somewhere. The farther I move away from this house, the faster it would suck' she shared with him everything Valmore did to make sure that she would stay here forever.Lucas is furious."I should have let him die in the hands of those wild beasts" he muttered angrily. Lola frowned weakly at his words. She wanted to ask him what he meant, But she is too weak and her energy reserves are depleting at a faster pace. She is not sure how long she would be alive.Lucas tu
Lucas is carrying his arms full of fruits and some uncooked meat from a wild animal he hunted. After looking at how weak Lola is, he decided to feed her properly until Valmore could recover from his injuries of the previous night. Lucas visited Valmore in his house which is situated in the middle of the village. Someone applied some green-looking substance to his wounds and he is yet to gain his conscience. Lucas thought of threatening Valmore to give him the key to unlock the bangle around Lola's wrist. But the lord of the fairy guard's condition is not so promising. "Don't die without giving me the key. I will hunt you in your after life if you do that. I am the lord of the underworld right now" Lucas muttered to himself before walking out of their undetected. He is not familiar with the village, so he is not using his shifting powers and risk being detected by the fairy guards.After he realised the fact that they are forced to stay here untill Valmore could recover, he decided to
When Lola woke up that night, she did not panic when she didn't find Lucas beside her. She understood that he might have gone with some work like he did this morning. She is not as anxious or depressed as earlier. She is content. Now that her mate is here, she is confident that he will protect her from everything. She never thought she would be forced to stay in the middle of the fairy guards' lair like this. Staying here is just a step closer to her death. But she is not scared. She recovered from her weakness, thanks to her mate. She walked into the kitchen for some water. But she found that he cooked dinner for her before going out for whatever he is doing now. He fed her just a couple of hours ago, so she is not that hungry. She walked out of the treehouse and sat on one of the wooden steps there. The deep dark forest surrounding the lone treehouse is looked so intimidating when she came here with Vamore. But not anymore. For the first time since she was taken to this place, sh
Desperation can make anyone do things that they have never done before. That is happening to a small group of wild beasts who lost their way back to their pack. They are hungry and lost. They tried to survive on what little they had, but it was not enough. So they decided to hunt the families residing nearby. The stealthy wild predators quietly entered the village and began to search for easy prey. The sun has gone down and the villagers are relaxing in their homes. A few young men are talking with their friends under a tree. A few kids run away from their mothers to avoid eating something they don't like for dinner. The fathers are laughing at their antiques. None of them know that they are about to become food for the wild lost beasts. The beasts surrounded the area where they noticed more people. More people means more food for them. They growled a split second before they began to attack the people. The once happy environment suddenly became chaotic. Screams and cries filled th
Valhalla is in chaos by the time Lucas appeared there. The entire village is bathed in the blood of their loved ones. The beasts are not showing signs of stopping anytime soon. The fairy guards who are trying to scare the beasts off are losing miserably. Mothers are crying over their dead kids. People are running away without any sense of direction. They are just running away from the wild beasts. No one paid Lucas any mind, as they are too busy in their own misery and fear. Lucas produced fire hear and there to scare the beasts off like he did the last time. As soon as the wild beasts saw fire, they began to retreat in fear. When the fairy guards saw the wild beasts retreating, they all began to notice Lucas, whose fingertips are still burning with fire. For the first time, they noticed a stranger among them. Almost all of them are shocked. Malik on the other hand recognized Lucas right away. 'What is this dragon drifter doing here?' he wondered. Now that the beasts are no l
After Lucas returned from the village, he found Lola sitting on a soft cushion-like thing laid down on the floor in the living area. As soon as she saw him, she stood up with a frown and approached him. "What happened?" She asked Lucas. Just like he told her, she didn't step out of the house. Just a few minutes after he went to the village, the screamings and cries stopped suddenly. A few minutes later, she heard growls of animals nearby. She connected the details and understood that the village is attacked by wild animals. "Nothing, they are attacked by wild animals. I scared them off" he said offhandedly. He removed his shirt and carried it into the bathroom, where a large pail is filled with water. He discarded his used shirt into a nearby basket and began to wash himself. "Is anyone hurt?" She asked quietly. Lucas sighed and didn't answer her immediately. After he is done washing up, he pulled a cotton towel hanging there and wiped off the moisture. He walked out, and Lola
Faiysha (the name of the fairy goddess) stopped near the shore of a river flowing through the Valhalla. She looked at her reflection in the water. Grey hair, wrinkled face, and thin body greeted her. She is losing her powers at a rapid pace and her body lost its forever youth full looks. But despite all of this, she is not sad. She is now living with the man whom she loved for so many centuries. Now her dream came true, and she is happy. She married her man Ares two years ago in an intimate ceremony only meant for the bride and the groom. They accepted their fate and were ready to face everything the lord bestows upon them. She is sure she will find Ares in her next life and would live a normal and happy life. Soft, almost noiseless footfalls of her daughter in law made the fairy goddess smile. She knows she doesn't have much time left to live. She is not sure if she could ever see her grandchildren. But she has a chance to spend time with her daughter in law Lola. Faiysha felt b
For him and for every one of us, you are an inspiration" Lola praised the goddess for being so selfless.Feiysha smiled at Lola's words. She was as ambitious as the others when she didn't know what love feels like. When she fell in love with Ares, she understood that she had nothing. No matter how powerful she is, lonely life is always empty and bitter. When she understood that she won't have a chance with Ares, she gave up that dream and began to concentrate on building the fairy world. She built this world with as much love and care as a mother would show towards her child. This is her solace when she felt lonely. Faiysha always longed for everyday life. Many would feel jealous looking at her power and status, but she used to feel jealous when she looks at normal people and their normal lives with solvable complications."A mother knows the value of her child, no matter if the said child is born or not. I gave birth to Lucas purely out of my selfish wish. I wanted to feel like a no
