Posy’s POV
I hated her.
Why did she do this? Why would she kill herself just to save the rest of us? Why wasn’t she selfish and logical? Why wouldn’t she just let us die for her with honor?
Because Empress Zelda Xanatheal was a great leader.
No one even cared about Cedric the moment Zelda hit the ground. The Aleni had been struck down and we had no one left to fight. We only wanted to see Zelda.
I got to her first. I cried out upon feeling how limp she was in my arms.
“Zelda?” I screamed. “Wake up Zelda, now!”
She wouldn’t budge. The boys had transformed and put on their pants. Penn dropped to his knees.
“Zelda?” He choked out. “Zelda, please wake up. I need you Zelda, please.”
He was sobbing as he hugged her lifeless body. Hunter tried to comfort him, but he just pulled away and wailed.
“I can’t live without her!” Penn cried out. “I can’t! How do we bring her back? Someone
My body felt a shock at once. Electricity flowed quickly and then expelled itself out of my body. Was I going to die again? I wondered as I fell to my knees. I breathed heavily as the last of the lightning left. I paused to make sure I wasn’t going to die again. “Zelda!” I looked up and saw Penn running over to me. “Penn!” He scooped me up in his arms and held me tightly. “I thought I lost you!” “How relieved were you?” I joked. He set me down and kissed me. “Very relieved. But now you’re back and I’m miserable again.” I kissed him again. “Are you lying to an Empress? That’s a crime.” “And what would be my punishment?” Penn smiled down at me. “You have to marry me…for real this time.” “You sure I can’t just take death?” I laughed as Zeke ran over to us and embraced me. “Tell me that’s the last time you almost die!” “No promises. I think it’s over now, though.” I smiled.&nb
Way far out at the edge of the earth, there is a land not many have heard of.A land called Uquix. In that land many creatures live in harmony with each other by staying out of the other's way. It's lovely.At the far west corner of Uquix was the Kingdom of the Wanix Enchanters called Gynem. There is a grand castle in the center of Gynem where the rulers of the Wanix Enchanters reside.In the throne room, at the back of the castle a girl was sobbing on her knees in front of the Empress."Off with her head!""Please no!" The girl cried."Empress Zelda are you sure?" Posy, the Royal Vizier asked."Yes...wait...um what w
"Zeke?!" Posy asked. "That...thing is Zeke?!""Sure is." I grinned."I-I don't understand.""I don't really either. I guess some Wanixs are werewolves and Zeke is one of them. We've known since he was sixteen.""Are you one too?" She asked."Oh no. I'm simply the Empress. I missed out on the werewolf gene. Thank goodness too, shaving is hard enough as it is!""So is Zeke who that person saw?"I nodded. "He's not always a good boy. Come here Zeke."He trotted over to me and nuzzled my hand, making me pet him. He required so much attention as a wolf.
"I beg your pardon?" Alpha Hunter asked."Just an old Wanix saying. Um, great! Thank you for sharing that. How about I get back to you tomorrow about that? So just...uh go home and we'll be in contact yeah?""We have no home to go to. The Aleni destroyed it. We are to stay with you while we defeat this evil." Alpha Hunter informed me, stepping closer.He smelled like pine and firewood. Kinda hot."Oh, you're gonna stay...here? With us. Um...Posy, will you lead them to the Great Hall? And I'll gather the royals?" I asked."Of course Empress." Posy nodded. "Follow me."When I tried to walk away, Alpha Hunter grabbed my hand. "You'll be coming to this Great Hall also righ
"Um, are you crying?" I asked."Wh-why won't you be my Luna? I'm the Alpha, you can't reject me!" He whined.Was this how Alphas acted? Like whiny children?! I was now severely turned off."Is that worth crying over?""I always get what I want! I want you, Empress Zelda! Please accept me! You're my mate, I waited my whole life for you!" Hunter got on his knees, pleading with me as tears streamed down his face. "Please!""I'm sorry Hunter, but no!" I exclaimed."What's wrong with me?" He cried. "Am I not handsome enough o-or do I need to work out more? I can do that. I can be more interesting for you Empress Zelda. I need you please!"
"I absolutely will not!" I rolled my eyes.Tears filled his eyes again, but this time he held them back. He knew better than to cry in front of his people."You're a cruel leader!" Rhys accused me. "Why is your brother not in charge?""I don't want to marry Hunter either!" Zeke proclaimed.Father chuckled."That was actually funny.""I lack the confidence and overall leadership skills that Zelda has." Zeke informed them. "Plus she looks better in the dresses.""Recycled joke." I muttered."I think we should all take a breath." Mother said camly. "My daughter is a brilliant ruler, and she is doing a noble thing by letting you
"How did you do that?" I asked.Penn jumped and extinguished the fire. "Um, I just rubbed some wood together.""I saw you, Penn. You produced that from your hands.""No, no I didn't.""Are you lying to an Empress?" I challenged. "That's a crime.""And what would be my punishment?" Penn gulped."Death.""Empress, please…""Fine, I'll give you a warning since you didn't know. Now tell me how you did that?"Penn sighed. "I don't know, I'm just able to. It started last year and it freaked me out. Werewolves aren't supposed to have
He merely stared at me for a second before swiping his giant claw at me. I cried out feeling the claws penetrate my arm. Okay this was not Cedric. I used the wind to throw him back. He got back up but before he could attack, a grey wolf jumped out from behind me. I knew immediately it was Penn. His mouth clamped down on the Aleni's arm, causing a roar to escape him. His claws slashed at Penn's side. He let out a yelp as he released the arm. The Aleni slashed him once more. I had to do something. As the Aleni went in for the kill, I summoned a vine to wrap around his neck, yanking him back. I urged the vines to wrap tighter and tighter until a sickening crack could be heard. The Aleni fell limpy to the ground. I watched Penn limp away. I assumed to c
