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
Twelve dead bodies are lying on the river shore. Lucas and Lola are quiet. They don't regret defending themselves, but they are not liking the blood bath either."This is bad" Lucas murmurred.Lola is quietly looking at her wooden sword, which is now bathed in blood."It is" she agreed.There was nothing for 5 days since she came here. No one recognized her scent and he thought it would be safe to stay that way if she stays away from the village. But now, they are forced to kill the fairy guards one after another."I don't know what went wrong. How can so many people sense my presence at once like this?" she asked with a frown.Lucas knows half of what happened and how Narsi came searching for Lola. But he doesn't know how the others sensed her. Something is going on which is making these people sense her presence quickly."The first one came here searching for Valmore, but instead he caught your scent in the house. So he came here searching for you. But the others, i am confused too"
"Why didn't the instinct to kill take over when you smelled a drifter's scent?" he asked with wide, shocked eyes. Mallik laughed with glee. "I learned to control my urge to kill, just like you did. I wanted to become the best, better than you. Do you want to know a secret?" Mallik asked with his eyes shining brightly with maniacal happiness. Valmore remained quiet, knowing fully well that his opinion doesn't matter to Mallik. He will tell even if his lord doesn't want to listen. Just like Valmore thought, Mallik began, not at all bothered about his lord's dislike. "I have trained myself to control my urge to kill long ago. Even before we killed your princess Catherina" he revealed. Valmore felt like the ground beneath his feet is ripped away and he stumbled a little with shock. He still remembered that it was Mallik who found out that Catherina is a drifter and it was him who killed her. Mallik was utterly delighted while he was taking the life of the princess. Valmore misunderst
Suddenly, the entire Valhalla shook with his command, as his words began to take effect. Mallik felt something being ripped away from his body. Mallik is angry. He looked outside the house and noticed the confused state of his brethren. The elements are unnaturally quiet and his feet began to itch to go away from the village. "What have you done?" he asked Valmore with anger and shock. He lunged at his lord and retrieved a knife from his pocket to kill Valmore. Mallik stabbed his former lord, but nothing happened. "What is happening here? Why is there no blood? Why can't my knife pierce your skin and cut your tissues like it is made to do?" Mallik asked with frustration and stabbed Valmore again and again. Valmore laughed without humor. "I think you must have not registered the fact that you no longer are one among us. Others cannot kill a fairy guard, but i can still kill you. So you and that knife of yours don't have the power to kill me. I used to consider you as my brother an
In the village, the villagers are confused to see the sudden darkness. They are not understanding what is happening."Mother, why did it become so dark? Is it night already" one of the children asked their mother?The mother is as confused as the child. She looked at her child with a soft smile."I don't know my son. I think our lord might have a clue about all of this. Let's go and ask him" she replied with confidence.The others followed her example and went in search of their lord. Little did they know that they are going to live in forever darkness from this day forth. They cannot leave the village and they are forced to live under the blanket of darkness for the rest of their long lives. This is the self-induced punishment from their lord for taking the lives of so many innocent Drifters. Unknowingly they snatched so many parents away from their children, leaving them as orphans. So many women lost their husbands and so many families lost their loved ones because of the fairy gu
Valmore is standing outside his treehouse with a stony expression. The villagers are looking up to him expectantly. After Lucas and Lola reminded him that he has a responsibility towards his people and he cannot punish innocent children and women for their mistakes. That's when Valmore realised that what he is doing is wrong. There are children and women in the village who are innocent and are not to be punished like this. So he decided to share everything that happened with his people and ask for them to decide on their future actions. Lucas and Lola are inside the tree house so that this problem could be solved among the people of Valhalla. They decided to stay and help Valmore if he needs them. "I made a mistake" Valmore began softly. A hush fell over the people with shock. They all are under the impression that their lord would never do anything wrong. But when he is openly confessing that he did something wrong, they couldn't believe their own ears. "Lord Valmore, what are y
"Why am i punishing the innocents yet again?" he asked mostly himself. Everyone is quiet after that. They now know every mistake and sin their race has committed. They no longer pride themselves on their birthright to kill the innocent drifters. They understood the reason behind the darkness of the village. "None of us are innocents. If one of us commits a crime, then it reflects upon the entire race" one of the women's said quietly. She has tears in her eyes and a lot of grief for her child's future. But she cannot go out there nor can she send her child alone. No one from outside will react kindly if they realize that they came from the fairy guards race. She decided its best that he stays here in the darkness to reflect upon the actions of the others. Valmore is sad. Their future generations are forced to suffer for something their ancestors have done. "But our children are" he replied quietly. Everyone agrees with his words, but at the same time, they don't. "It doesn't ma
"Quiet" Lucas commanded loudly, making the entire village go quiet. Everyone looked at him expectantly. "The fairy guards are considered as the killers. People fear your existence. If you wanted to change that and live a normal life, then you have to change the way you think. You have to work your way into the hearts of the people and change their opinion regarding your race. If you are willing to try, then we can help you" Lucas announced. The entire Fairy guards race is desperate to change the way they are forced to live for ages. So when they got an opportunity to change their lives, they all agreed instantly. Thus began the process of changing the fairy guard's race into someone who is genuine and trustworthy. Lucas, Lola, and Valmore devised a plan together to train and teach the villagers about the outside world. This time they included even women and children, and not just men. Lucas and Valmore trained the men and children in the art of fighting and defense. Lola trained t
Epilogue 2 After 10 years, In a small town named Vimbleton which is closer to the borders of a country, where the army officials, constant security checks, army vehicles and they helicopters are a common sight. In that town lives a girl named Ariel, who lost both her parents. Her father was an army man, who perished doing his duty. Her mother who couldn't live away from her father relocated to the town where her father died so that she could stay close to her husband. After a few years, she too passed away with heartache, leaving the teenager alone. Ariel finished her school and began to work part-time for her expenses. Their house which is situated at the end of the town is the only thing left behind by her parents. She disguises herself as a boy to protect herself from bullies. Ares is born as Atticus, the chief military officer stationed near the borders of Wimbledon. Despite being young, he climbed the ranks with his smart war skills and accurate predictions. 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
