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
Lola gasped awake from her dream. She looked around and found herself inside the treehouse. Lucas is sleeping beside her. 'Was it a dream? It must be. Because this stupid snake bangle will not let me go that far away from the treehouse ' she thought.She rubbed her eyes to remove the traces of sleep. Her mind is still caught up in the dream she had.'It felt so real ' she thought.One strange thing she noticed about her dream is that she remembered every word she spoke with the fairy goddess, which will not happen with dreams in general. We tend to forget about what was said and what we heard. Only some images will stay in our minds, which would be forgotten as the day progresses. Unconsciously Lola's gaze caught the sight of her dirty feet. She is so startled, that she yelped with shock. That alerted Lucas, who is up and beside her in a split second."What happened?" he asked her with concern.'Was it real? ' she wondered with confusion.She then remembered the bracelet she receive

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
