Drake and Dillon were slowly walking back towards the palace, searching for anyone who must have been lucky enough to escape the fog. But till now, they found no one.
"I don't think there is anyone who is lucky enough to escape" Dillon mumbled, examining a Fae man, who is lying with his face facing up and eyes wide open.
Drake snorted.
"I am walking with the lucky one who managed to escape the fog," he said indicating Dillon.
Dillon smiled at his words, despite the situation.
"What kind of disease is this? Have you seen anything like this ever before?" Drake asked Dillon.
Dillon shook his head.
He never saw anything like this before. It's different and new.
"No, I never saw something like this before. It's new and confusing" Dillon murmured.
Drake and Dillon simultaneously noticed everyone opening their eyes slowly.
"They are waking up," Drake said loudly.
"Yes, they are opening their eyes" Dillon agreed.
Dillon looked like he wanted to cry any moment now."I don't want to become their snack," Dillon said in horror."What are these things?" Dillon's father asked in confusion."Dillon, create an illusion of a wall around us," Drake said hurriedly.It's chaos with everyone talking at once, and the noise of the victims coming for them.No one has time to answer the others. So Drake said one thing that would save them all.Dillon did exactly as Drake asked him to do.He erected a wall all around them.Now they stand in between an illusion of four walls, and the confused victims surrounding them from all sides.They can look past the illusion. But the victims cannot. They can feel the victim's angry breath on their faces.Drake looked at Cedric."Do you know how to shift?" he asked him.Cedric shook his head."No, it is an ability which would be granted only as long I am the summer king and wear that crown. It n
Drake looked at hundred of his winter warriors with pride."I know I could count on you. We need to save the summer realm. I need you to cover your body from head to toe in your armor. Don't get bitten by the victims. That would make you permanently into a mind-dead being. I want all of you safe. Protect yourself and protect the summer fae. Step aside, if some any one of you have the ability to illusion" Drake said.Immediately, 12 guards stepped aside from the formation.Drake nodded."Good, create an illusion of a wall around the villages that are not affected. The illusion seems to work on the" Drake instructed the 12."Yes, your highness" they understand what Drake is trying to tell them."Now step aside, if anyone if you can shift," Drake said.Immediately 9 guards stepped aside."Good, if you find that anyone is being surrounded by the victims, let it be your fellow winter warrior or most importantly, the innocent summer fae. Shi
'What do you want from me princess' the core, which looked like ice blue colored fire, asked her.Nyra is thrilled when the core started talking to her. But curing this guy is important to save a realm. So kept her excitement under wraps for then.'I want you to help me cure this man in front of me' Nyra asked the fairy fire.'With pleasure princess. But you would be exhausted after this. As this is your first attempt to cure someone else, your physical energy would drain, leaving you exhausted the fire warned Nyra.'I will be fine. The lives of so many people are on the line here. Please help me heal this man' Nyra asked the fairy fire.'As you wish princess. But warning you is my responsibility ' the fire said.'Thank you for that, but I need your help now' Nyra urged.'Ok, let's startUnknown to Nyra, as she was closing her eyes, her palms started to glow with ice blue colored fire. The fire started to travel towards Dhari and
Dhari shifted Drake and Mason onto the mountains, where the plant is usually found.They looked around their dark surroundings.Both Drake and Mason can see with their excellent eyesight. But Dhari has to work with his expertise.He visits these mountains often, so he knows where to find what."Now I understood why you need my help. It's dark and detecting that plant would be a challenge" Dhari understood.Drake and Mason can see better than Dhari, but it's dark and they can only see a little better than the others.They never saw the plant by themselves, so they would have struggled to identify it on their own. That's why Drake wanted Dhari's help. As he already saw the plant and has the experience of handling it several times, it would be easy for him and time-saving."Hmm" Drake agreed to Dhari's assessment.He then started searching for the plant, by touching other big trees. As it is a creeper, it generally snakes itself and suppo
They sprinkled the water in every village that was affected and then into the villages where the victims invaded and tried to bite the healthy individuals.The process lasted till the afternoon of the following day, leaving everyone exhausted. Soon after the cure was sprinkled, the victims fell unconscious and the visible reduction and disappearance of red spots can be seen.They woke up 2 hours later, without knowing what happened last night. Only the people of the first village, where everything started know exactly what happened.They started speaking among themselves and soon everyone came to know what happened.The people from the healthy villages, who saw the victims trying to kill them, spread the news of what happened after they became the victims of the fog and how the winter warriors and their king helped the summer king to protect the healthy individuals and save the infected villagers spread like wildfire.After helping the villa
Nyra was pacing the courtyard anxiously for Drake.When he finally returned, she became relieved."Oh my God Drake" she rushed to check if he is alright.Drake gave her a tired smile."I am fine. How are you?" he asked her, indicating that she fainted last night."I am fine. But I was worried about you" she confessed.Drake smiled softly at her."I am fine. You can relax now" he assured her.Nyra nodded her head with relief.Drake turned towards the winter warriors, who helped to get the summer Fae back to health from the effects of that fog."I am glad every one of you returned back without being injured. You should eat and you should relax now. You did well last night warriors. I am really proud of you" Drake praised his warriors.They all applauded loudly."Long live our king, Drake""Long live our king"They praised Drake.Soon they parted ways and Drake decided t
Cedric was shocked with Alvin's confession."What do you mean by he tried to kill you?" he asked in shock.Alvin and Alpine exchanged glances.They cannot tell the entire truth. It's still forbidden to go to the human world. So they know they should avoid telling the entire truth here.The fact that Koni made them agree to go to the human world in itself is shameful. As the royal's, they cannot get carried away by anyone.But Alvin and Alpine were both young. Their father just passed away, leaving the throne under the care of the brother's.They appointed Koni as their royal advisor, as his father was their fathers advisor. Instead of giving good advises, Koni began to mislead them, since the very beginning.And they trusted him blindly.When Koni explained about the dragon Relic and its limitless power, they became greedy and decided to go find it in the human world.They hid in the ayur forest, well away from the human an
A heavy silence hung in the air, after Alvin's confession. The three royals were lost in their own thoughts.Alvin and Alpine were reliving their bad memories, so does Cedric. No one shares good memories regarding Koni."He is dangerous" Cedric commented."He is" Alvin agreed."He should be captured and hung down to his death. As soon as my brother brought Nyra home, he even tried to kill her" Alpine fired angrily.Among the three, Alpine is the one who is feeling bitter. He trusted Koni too much and even considered him as his friend. But Visibly, Koni just used him for his personal gains.He remembered so many times when he caught Koni doing something strange. But everytime he covered it up with an exuse. As Alpine trusted him too much, he didn't question Koni's motiv.The betray stung and it hurts. It took Alpine 2 days to digest everything Drake told him.But Alvin is thinking something else. His mind is on something els
Drake woke up from his dream, where he saw Nyra running towards him amid wild colorful fae flowers, holding their son's hand, who looked just like Drake. He loved that dream so much, that a longing for that to come true began in his heart. But to his surprise, he saw Nyra smiling at him as soon as he was awake. "Nyra?" he touched her face to confirm if it's reality or a dream. "Drake" she whispered softly. With the soft morning light streaming from the window, her face is looking angelic. He missed her so much so that, he pulled her into a tight hug. "I missed you Nyra. I missed you so much. Do you know how scared I was when that Koni stabbed you? That was the worst moment of my life. I never wanted to see you like that ever again. I will try everything I can to protect you and our son from harm's way. I am sorry that I failed you Nyra. I am so sorry" he confessed with his face buried in her neck and breathing in her scent.
Like Drake instructed, the guards began to whip Koni one at a time. Soon the common public began to volunteer. Koni could hold back his cries for the first two days. But after that, his body became sensitive and he could no longer hold back his cries of pain. What's worst is that, if someone is annoyed with something, they would come and whip Koni until they feel better. They don't let him eat properly or sleep properly. Whenever they feel like it, anyone could come and whip him senselessly, until he would pass out with pain. He tried to pretend that he passed out. But that lasted only an hour. They soon figured that he is acting, so now they are sparing him even he became unconscious. After 1 week of this torture, Koni began to pray to the fairy goddess that the princess should wake up soon. He no longer can bear this torture. "Please forgive me and let the princess wake up" he began to beg the goddess loudly when he could
Everyone bowed to their new king with respect. They were really happy to see that he is awake and healthy again. Dale couldn't contain his happiness after looking at Drake. "I am really happy that you are awake your highness" Dale said truthfully. Drake nodded his head, but he couldn't muster up a smile. Nyra is still in a coma, and he is angry over himself for letting Koni that close to her. 'I failed her and now she is paying the price' she thought with regret. "Let's go" Drake muttered and walked towards the dungeons with a purpose. As soon as he entered the dungeon, he saw two guards bringing George's body out of his cell. When they noticed Drake, they bowed their head. Koni is glaring daggers at Drake. "You are awake?" Koni asked with malice. Drake did not answer him. He motioned Dale to unlock the cell. Koni always thinks that Dragons are beneath him. So he looked down upon Drake as if he i
Koni is in the dark cold dungeon in the winter Realm. After he was caught, he was thrown in the dungeon. No one came to talk to him or interrogate him. Everyone is worried about their king and queen. "You finally did it" George commented from the cell beside Koni's. Koni has been after Nyra since the day he found out that, she was blessed with the fairy fire. He is so crazed out of his mind, that he lost all sense of rationality and the last ounce of empathy he had. Nyra is pregnant. Everyone would be considerate towards a pregnant woman. But all Koni could see is the powers she possessed. His lust for the powers of the dragon Relic is so vast, that he didn't think for a second before stabbing her with a knife. "I did" Koni answered George's comment, even though George was not expecting one. "I never stopped for a moment to think about what I am doing. If I did, then I would have realized that what I am doin
The healers, Roland, Mason, Alvin, Avery, Alpine, Dale, Dhari, Shawn, and his mate Anna, everyone rushed towards the couple, who are lying unconscious on the ground. They allowed the healers to check Nyra and Drake. To everyone's shock, Nyra's wound is healed completely. There is no scar or any mark to show that she was stabbed a few minutes ago. "Oh dear goddess" the healer murmured with shock. He checked her vitals and the baby's condition. To his shock, everything is normal, except her pulse. Her pulse rate is lower than usual but not too much for them to get concerned about. They checked Drake, but everything is fine with him as well. The healers murmured among themselves in hushed whispers. Alvin, Avery, and the others became concerned. They were anxious to know what happened to Drake and Nyra. Even they can see the wound on Nyra's body disappeared. But then again, why is she not waking up. What happene
Draco kept snarling at everyone who tried to approach them. No one is powerful enough to go against him and win. They cannot even contain him for a couple of minutes to let a healer treat Nyra. Alvin, Avery, and Alpine are worried for Nyra. "Drake has to take control and snap out of his grief long enough for a healer to look at Nyra. If he doesn't, then we might lose our daughter forever" Avery sobbed with pain. She can only look at the blood that is polling all around her body. As Draco is hiding Nyra behind his wings, none of them can see how is Nyra doing. Mason and Roland heard Avery's words and they decided to go and talk to Draco. Draco snarled at Roland and Mason when they tried to approach him and Nyra. "Draco, you need to let Drake take control. Nyra needs a healer now. Only a healer can save her. The more we delay, the more the chances of her losing her life. Think about what we are trying to tell you" Roland tried to reason
As the priest started to read the scroll, a light appeared near the joining of their hands. It's not uncomfortable or painful. But it's just a soft glow, letting the people know that she accepts this couple's wedding and is blessing them with her light. The light usually stays near the joining of their hands. It will not travel upwards slowly covering the couple as a whole. But with Drake and Nyra, the light slowly began to move up the length of their hands, until it's covering their bodies entirely, making the people around them look at the light but not the couple. Everyone gasped, even the priest was shocked. But he didn't stop reading the scroll. But the words on the Scroll multiplied by two right in front of his eyes. He turned his head to look at the goddess beside him and she nodded her head. So he continued reading whatever words appeared on the scroll. The Goddess is marking the couple as her first chosen protector and his mate by usi
On the day of the wedding, the groom and his friends departed to the fairy Goddess temple earlier than the bridal party. The groom, his friends Mason, Dillon, Shawn, and his wife Anna, along with Drake's father Roland and his fiancee are the few important people who accompanied Drake. Half the warriors stayed back to accompany the bride and half of them accompanied Drake. Drake is wearing a white dress, which consists of a white breaches, a white undershirt, and a lavish white overcoat studded with crystals and gems. His hair is combed back and away from his face. He is looking more handsome than ever. Blaze Black sent a message wishing the new couple a very happy married life. He also sent that he couldn't be able to attend the wedding because of his issues. When Drake read the message, he frowned. 'I hope it's not serious' he wished. On the other hand, Nyra is getting ready to depart from the palace.
Koni searched for George everwhere he could. But came back empty handed. Koni began to get frustrated. He needs the help of someone who could shift to get to the place where he wants. 'Where is he? Did he leave everything midway? What happened? Did he take money from them and left me? Is he helping them to find me?' Koni began to suspect. But he don't have any proof to consider his thinking as true. But he cannot do anything about it either. So he decided to plan something and kidnap Nyra by himself. 'I worked alone for all these years. I can do it again. It's waste to depend on anyone to do my work' he thought. With that thought in mind, he decided to device a plan to Kidnap Nyra. He decided the day of the wedding is the best day for him to kidnap her. Even though he cannot shift, he can still use his abilities to kidnap her. He will hide behind that statue in the dark Realm for two days and then he would come back and hid
