The view of the river was so beautiful with the large water flowing gently, the clear crystal characteristics of the water was the greatest of all as one could see all the stones underneath as the water washed over them while moving, the fishes in the river were having the most beautiful moment of their lives as they played along with the current of the river.The trees surrounding the water bank were standing tall, beautiful with beautiful flowers blooming on each of them. They were gently dancing to the cool breeze and the scenery was just so heavenly.Elora found herself grazing through this garden with so much awe and many wows as she saw the beautiful creations.“Even all the birds are so beautiful” she muttered as her eyes were lit up in amazementShe looked around once more before citing her mother from afar, she was in a very long white robe and her shaman bell was with her. She was smiling and the golden linings from her robe were sparkling with the ray of sun falling on them
Prince Jaqen went out for his usual training that morning and discovered that his shoulder was aching, he could not train well but since he didn’t want to show weakness or make people gossip about it, he suppressed the pain and continued with the training“I don’t think you should continue with the training, your shoulder is getting worse” Derib voiced out with concern at a point“I will stop when I cannot no longer handle it, I am fine so don’t worry about me” he replied adamantly and that only frustrated poor Derib the more“What exactly is the problem? What is going on with you? You have been like this for quite some days. You don’t talk, you just attend meetings, eat, train so hard and sleep. This is unlike you” Derib remarked“Isn’t that what I have been doing all these while? I don’t see anything strange or how I have changed” he replied unbothered and picked up the bow to shoot some arrows“I know that’s what you have been doing all these while but I feel something is just mis
Prince Falkor went to visit his mother the Luna when she requested for his presence and the maids who were gossiping about the incident between Jaqen and Tope quickly composed themselves as they saw him approaching“Welcome my Prince” they greeted with a deep bow“It will be faster if you open the door quickly than giving me some fake greetings” he scowled at them and they sealed their lips immediately before proceeding to open the door“You do know that there is nothing wrong with moving around once in a while right? You are always confined to this room doing all sort of dances. You can actually come out to talk to me if you have a need, why are you ordering me all around?” he growled at the Luna who wasn’t fazed at his words“Are you going through some sort of stress again? I already told you to let out some air whenever you feel frustrated” Luna Aravis replied placing the porcelain vase she was cleaning on the table with care“You think I haven’t done all sort of things to clear ou
Elora was coming was in the room when Derib came to give him the invitation letter to the birthday party but she excused herself so she could bring him his breakfast as soon as possible since he already told her that he will not be exercising for the day.She was about to enter when she heard them discussing about the cloth to wear and if he should skip the party“Just tell them I will not be attending” he said and Derib countered immediately“Why? That will be worse, you just have to attend even though you will not have a chance to gift him anything, you can just tell him that you will gift him later” Derib advised“He cannot decline an invitation to such an important event, it will be a hassle and talk of the palace” she muttered“Will it really be that weird?” he asked with a sigh and Derib nodded“It will be really weird” Derib informed him“Yes please explain to him that it will be so weird” she remarked from the outside and was about to enter when he said another problem“But I
All the officials were trooping in one after the other as they came with their servants who carried different sizes of birthday gifts and other presents. They were each guided to their tables by the assigned servants and everyone settled down before the performers came to entertain them with different tunes coming out of their instruments while they wait for the birthday Prince.The Alpha and the Beta came together in their matching outfit which the Luna purposely got them, just that the Alpha’s had so much glitters of gold making it shiner than the Beta’s. Everyone stood up in respect as they entered and find their way to their seat before Lady Gaia was also ushered in.Her clothes were tied like a butterfly at the back and her hair was woven then packed up like a bow tie making all attention fall on her, her face was plastered with as much makeup as possible“Urgh! I really don’t like anything about her, she’s always trying to steal the show and attention” Ore remarked while eyeing
Prince Falkor thought about what he could ask from Jaqen that is precious to him, he couldn’t think of anything and it will be weak of him to ask for the throne“What do you think I can ask for from Jaqen on my birthday?” he asked the Beta who was with him on the balcony“I don’t think he has anything personal you might want to take away, he is someone that doesn’t keep people or things close” Beta Loras replied“That’s exactly the problem I’m facing right now, I thought about it so wide and long but I can’t seems to point to something that is precious to him” Prince Falkor remarked with a sigh“If we look well then we might be able to pick something before your birthday, I’m sure you told the Luna to send the invitation late because you wanted him to come empty handed and for you to think it through. Don’t stress yourself about that, we will arrive to a conclusion soon” Beta Loras assured him and lifted his eyes up to see Jaqen and Tope fighting from afar“We seems to have found what
Tope was there at the banquet with the Beta but didn’t introduce himself as the son, he only came like a regular palace worker. He was seeing the dramas going on between both Prince Falkor and Prince Jaqen but didn’t move since it was not his place. Things began to interest him when the birthday gifts banter began until Prince Falkor made mention of Elora and he was obviously uncomfortable. He gasped as the Prince grabbed her forcefully and hot food poured on her leg“That must have hurt a lot” he muttered and saw Prince Jaqen fighting for herHe was taken aback the second time when the Prince was asked if he was in love with her and he admitted in front of everyone even though he’s not sure if it was the truth or he replied that way because of the situation he was put in.As the party turned to chaos, he gently stood up and walked to the Prince’s quarters after confirming that was where she was from the physician he met on the way. He walked to the door and the Prince talking with El
The party clothes Elora brought for Jaqen was slightly tight at the right hand because of the bandage he was wearing and it seemed a little uncomfortable“Are you sure you will be able to handle it? It looks a little uncomfortable” Derib told him as he helped him adjust“Will it make sense not to wear what she spent all day making? The party will be over in a few hours, I just have endure till then and it’s not like she didn’t get the right measurement, the bandage was the problem” he replied and moved out of the roomThe tight arm was pressing hard on the right hand so he tried his best as possible not to use the right hand during the party, he didn’t even eat any food that needed spoon, he was only munching on fruits instead. The hand got worse when he carried Elora from the hall to his chambers and he didn’t attend to it well that night thanks to Tope who came to growl at him.He woke up the next morning with extreme pain on the shoulder, Derib brought to him a physician after the
Alpha Jaqen and Derib set out to make plans to find Falkor wherever he might have ran to before he starts to cause havoc on the pack. “Do you think we can find out their hideouts?” he asked Derib “The last time I visited the hideout, they were talking about how the silver they were making will be the last batch and they will be joining others” Derib revealed “So do you think we can find the others? Don’t you think we should plant a spy amidst them?” he asked tapping his leg on the floor anxiously “If you want, I can go in myself to get any information you need” Derib offered “Your face is known by almost everyone, won’t you get caught at this rate?” he asked “I just have to be careful and everything will work out because it’s not like they can know every of their soldiers” Derib said and Alpha Jaqen sighed before Obi came in “The famine has started, everyone has started lamenting for food. What should we do about the storage?” Obi asked as he brought the ledgers the late Alpha h
The elders set an emergency meeting after the whole fight in the palace and they discussed about what to do about the rebels and the punishments to dish out according to their crimes. “I cannot believe something like this happened in this palace, we don’t even know what the truth is anymore. This is shocking, tiring and exhausting, it happened so suddenly that I can’t even wrap my head around it” Elder Kinn said with a heavy sigh “I am glad the Alpha told us all these before he died, imagine if we didn’t find out and they killed the real Prince of the pack. We would have had to deal with the tyranny of the Alpha, Luna and Beta and that will cause a great havoc on the pack” Elder Simeon added “We are not sure if Prince Falkor is not a real Alpha as claimed, we have to be sure before we point fingers and judge. I mean we never can tell because what if the late Alpha was mistaken?” Elder Fang countered “So are you saying the Alpha lied to make us disqualify the first Prince? What abou
As Elora was busy waiting for Jaqen to return from his trip, the goddess knew that her time to leave Elora was near and the fight for the throne will begin soon since both Princes will be on each other’s neck when Prince Jaqen returns from the trip of going to find a shaman that will heal the Alpha who is terribly sick.The goddess also knew that Prince Jaqen can never find a shaman no matter how he tries because after the death of Elora’s mother, Arya, the goddess that was supposed to possess any shaman and give them power was residing in Elora itself and it had refused to unveil itself because of Elora’s safety and the promise she was supposed to fulfil on her behalf.The main reason why Elora was the one chosen to be the one to help Prince Jaqen was that when Arya was still young and living in the same place with Queen Eleanor, Jaqen’s mother, Arya got into trouble with one of the chiefs living in the town one night.Since Arya was a beautiful woman, she was loved by many men in th
Prince Falkor told the head maid that the straws in the farm at the yard should be picked as early as possible and she should assign some maids to them quickly.“My Alpha, the maids are extremely busy trying to restore the palace to its normal state because everything has been disorganized because of the ceremony that was just concluded” The head maid replied“You mean all the maids in the palace are working right now?” he asked raising his brows“Yes My Alpha, they are all occupied with one thing or the other so can you wait a little bit?” she said politely“I heard Jaqen is out of the palace, why is his maid not joining others to work?” he asked“He had ordered for his maid to stay at his room till he comes back and that means she cannot work until he commands her to join others because she is his personal maid and that is allowed according to the rules of the palace” she explained“I am the Alpha here, the leader of the pack so I have the power to make her work right?” he said with
THE PREVIOUS NIGHTAfter Elora left the Alpha’s chamber, the king managed to visit Prince Jaqen’s chamber in the midnight without anyone knowing. He had been feeling so weak that he knew that he would die at any moment from now so he wanted to finish everything before it was too late.“I didn’t expect you would visit me so late in the night, you should have called me over to your chamber instead of coming over here since you are so sick” he said as he helped him have his seat“It’s not like you will come at your own free will if I called you over and also my visit here is something that no one must find out so don’t bother to bicker, I want my discussion with you tonight to be fast as soon as possible” Alpha Ren remarked“What brought you here this late at night? I hope it’s nothing much though” he asked as he settled in front of him“Jaqen, before I start anything I want to ask you a very important question and I want you to be sincere with me. It is okay to say your mind because I j
The Luna once heard a ridiculous rumor that Lady Gaia and Prince Falkor were having affairs and she decided to look into it. She finally confirmed it but decided to leave them so she would be able to use it against them someday. When she found out that she was pregnant from her spy, she decided the day for usage is nearer and planned to disgrace her but after thinking it through, she knew that it will affect her son, Prince Falkor one way or the other so she quit the idea and was looking for how to punish her until she heard she would be leaving the palace.She invited the Beta and told him her plan“So what do you plan on doing? It’s not like she will allow herself to be disgraced and that is the reason why she’s leaving the palace” Beta Loras remarked“I understand that she wants to give birth to the baby outside the palace and then come back as if nothing happened. The Alpha is already so weak and sick, it means the fight for the throne will soon start. I cannot allow anything to b
For three months, Lady Gaia was playing a safe game of hiding her pregnancy but it was not easy for her since the symptoms were very bad and evident in her. She thought about aborting the baby but she was also happy the same time that she will be giving birth for the first time in her life.“This is the very first time I will be a mother, I cannot abort this pregnancy” she muttered to herself as she rubbed her bellyAfter seeing how her belly was slightly protruding and the pregnancy was at the verge of showing forth, she planned to leave the palace and go back to her mother. She planned to stay there till she gives birth and then leave the child there. She thought about informing Prince Falkor but with his recent attitudes towards her, she swat the thoughts away and just decided to disguise.She got up the next morning and went to visit the Alpha who was still on his bed“It has been a long time I saw you walking around the palace so I wondered what was wrong” she said as she moved c
Elora left the room and Derib moved closer to inform Prince Jaqen of what was going on at the secret hideout of Beta Loras. He had gone to survey again during the time the Prince and Elora were busy talking about themselves.“I went back to the site again and found something interesting” Derib started“You went back? You didn’t even tell me you were going” Prince Jaqen questioned“I went back when you both were talking and I happened to find out something interesting” Derib said“Something interesting? What is that?” Prince Jaqen asked and motioned for him to come closer and have his seatDerib sat down opposite to Prince Jaqen and adjusted his clothes before he proceeded with informing him about what he saw at the hideout“I happened to see them transporting the silver they stored over time and followed them only to find the final piece to our puzzle” he added“The final piece to our puzzle? Don’t you think it’s time for you to speak in a language that I can understand?” Prince Jaqen
Derib didn’t mention anything about the letter to him again since he already declined the invitation flatly and if he tried to talk him into it, he will flare up which will only cause unnecessary tension.Even though Prince Jaqen didn’t talk about the letter, he secretly wanted to go but his pride was too important for him so he decided to just fight the feeling off. He picked up his sword and went for training with his master at the yard.He got there and found him sitting at the step by the right side and walked up to him to notify him of his presence“Have your seat, let us discuss some things before we start practice for today” his master said and he took his seat beside him“Do you like living here? It is not too cornering and frustrating for you?” his master asked facing him“Cornering and frustrating as how?” he asked to be sure of the answer to give“I mean you don’t have any friends here except your bodyguards and the other monks. You are a Prince but you are not living like
