My anger was boiling, ready to take his head and fulfill my mission. I could taste success and it felt sweet, but suddenly my heart started to sink and doubt crept in.He ceased abruptly, coming to a complete standstill without any warning. There was no indication he would make such an abrupt stop, no clues that something was amiss. It threw me off balance, and she I was left confused and unsure.“I know what you are planning, Daciana.”My eyes widened in shock when he shot me a look of icy contempt. Instinctively, my mouth dropped open and my body felt on edge as I held his gaze. Even though I felt so overwhelmed by the situation, I knew that it was important for me to remain composed and not let any crack in my composure slip out. His expression was one of authority and power, something that had never been seen before by me; it made me feel incredibly vulnerable and small in comparison.“You've brought me to this point anticipating that I would be fully willing to accept the ultimat
My whole body trembles when I hear his name, the mere thought of him eliciting a deep raging sigh from my lips.Even after all these years since the last time I saw him, I could still feel a deep-seated anger in my bones. Those fond memories of my community from my childhood keeps resurfacing and they bring with them a mix of emotions. I remember the feeling of utter helplessness as our rivals encroached upon us and how there was nothing we could do to stop them.“We’re under attack!”I couldn’t stop shaking out of fear. Everywhere I looked, the entire kingdom was ablaze with raging fires. The screams and cries of my people echoed all around, begging for mercy and pleading for help. It was like a never-ending nightmare. Despite my own terror and dread, I knew that something had to be done to save my tribe from this destruction.“E-everyone! Please, calm down-”But no one listened. All of them started to scatter, desperate to flee in the opposite direction of me. I could see their tear
I have recently come to the startling realization of just how powerful Azariel is, making me feel humbled and insignificant when compared to him.Lowell's body thuds to the ground after being nudged and crashed against multiple rocks, undoubtedly disorienting him before he falls. My heart drops and I feel a twinge of pity for Lowell.I can't comprehend the fact that he is capable of doing this to his own son.“Your attempts at justification are futile, Lowell. What you did has brought clear and serious repercussions. I've seen it all now, there's no more debating the case.”His claws emerged, out of nowhere, and quickly slashed at the skin on my neck. I cried out in agony as I struggled to break free from his unrelenting grip, but Azariel is too strong and powerful for me to overcome. Even with all my effort in trying to kick or punch his wrist as hard as I could, he didn't even wince at the impact.I kept trying until exhaustion eventually set in, exasperatingly aware that no matter
Lowell stood tall, facing his father in order to protect… me.His stance was unwavering, his courage beyond reproach - he did not falter or cower under the weight of his father's presence. I saw fire in Lowell's eyes as he stood there, determined to defend me from whatever might come. He was a symbol of strength and fortitude that day- standing up for what is right and just even when doing so means taking on a powerful opponent.I hold my breath as I struggle to find the words, while my heart is pounding, pushing me forward by instinct. His forehead was coated in blood, but he stood up to his father who was intent on taking my life. My entire being felt paralyzed. Time felt like it had stopped and there was no sound other than our breathing which seemed almost deafening in that moment.“I will not let you kill her!”Lowell's words burst forth from his mouth almost like thunder, filling the place with their intensity. My eyes widened and my mouth had dropped open in shock when he dared
My heart sank as all eyes in the room trained onto me. I could feel my throat tighten as I tried to keep my composure, growing more and more uncomfortable as the silence lingered. Every muscle in my body tensed up and I kept still, not wanting to draw any more attention to myself.I stepped away, my fingers trembling as I balled my hands into fists. Azariel's gaze was piercing and unforgiving as he unwaveringly abandoned his son who lay on the ground, writhing in pain. My heart raced as I watched in horror, fear gripping me at what seemed to be an inevitable outcome. This was no ordinary enemy; nothing about him suggested even a hint of compassion or mercy.“I don’t want to take your life, Daciana. It never crossed my mind that I would need to kill you, not until my foolish son here chose to turn against me because of you.” these words cut deep into me like a sharp sword.I couldn’t help but to glance towards Lowell who lay there, barely conscious. An unexpected sensation of guilt and
In just a moment I was freed from their grasp, and I could finally take a full breath.My hand traced along my neck as I took in the fresh air before turning my attention to Lowell who had once again rescued me from their Delta. A wave of relief washed over me, calming my racing heartbeat and clearing away some of the fear that had been clouding my mind.Gonzalo took a step back, and his expression revealed the pain he was feeling. I followed his gaze downwards until I noticed the deep cuts along the length of his arm. His blood pooled onto the ground beneath him, and I couldn't help but gasp in shock at what had happened to him. My eyes then turned towards Lowell whose claws were still extended, a reminder of what had just transpired. It was a gruesome sight to behold.“Lowell…” I whispered his name in a quiet voice, and he gave me an inquisitive glance, before drawing nearer to me. His presence was alluring; I could feel his warmth radiating from his body as he drew nearer. My heart
I couldn’t take my eyes off of Lowell standing before me; it was almost like the entire world had stopped turning and my heart was threatening to burst out of my chest. I felt a peculiar combination of awe and eagerness that overwhelmed me.“L-lowell…”I can’t abandon him in this state, not without doing something to help. Taking a deep breath and trying to ignore the growing pool of blood beneath my feet, I take a step forward. He shakes his head at me, as if he is still aware enough to know what is happening. I need to make a choice; do I stay with him or do I go? I search for my courage as emotions race through me that are difficult to hold back.“G-go…”I uttered a curse as he started to close his eyes, my body feeling paralyzed with shock and disbelief. Time seemed to stand still as I watched him slowly slump in front of me, a feeling of dread overwhelming me. No matter how hard I tried to fight back against the paralyzing fear, nothing seemed to work. In my heart I knew that thi
I'm in a state of disbelief, unable to process what I'm seeing before my eyes. Those two arms that always make me feel so safe and secure, that I've grown accustomed to having around me; there they are again. It's something so incredibly special and surreal that it takes a couple of blinks for it all to sink in. Even though countless days have passed by since last we met, still their shape and touch remain forever imprinted in my memory like no other.I find myself suddenly speechless, my mouth opening to try and form words that won't quite come. His eyes are so captivating that I can feel them piercing through me, making my heart race and a thousand butterflies stirring in my stomach. For a moment I'm lost in his gaze, every thought of what I wanted to say fading away from my mind. All of the feelings coursing through me force me into silence as all of the things we could say get lost in the air between us.“A-adolf…”Thousands of thoughts raced through my mind, but the only thing th
