'A King cannot be a king without the people fully accepting him' Dhari's mind kept repeating those words again and again.
'He is right. If the Fae in the winter Realm doesn't accept him, then he cannot be a king. The Fae accepting a dragon is not possible. But, he wouldn't be the one among the three chosen protectors, if he is not capable to make the people around here love him' Dhari thought.
He himself is impressed with the way Drake calmly explained about the possibilities of him being a Winter King to Dillon. He is being practical and is not getting carried away by the hype surrounding him.
He is planning to go away before things started to become ugly.
Dhari looked at Drake, with new eyes. The eyes are not filled with just fear but also respect for him.
'If you could earn the same respect among the people of this realm, then it will be hard for them to hate you ' Dhari thought.
"You protected me from death when you don't have to. You he
"You ba*tard" Dillon made his presence shown.The guard who was not expecting anyone was startled by the sudden appearance of their king, who was supposed to be still in the winter realm.The guard made a run out of Cedric's room to escape from Dillon, who chased after him.They ran out of the Royal wing and towards the outside of the summer palace.When the other guards saw their king running after a summer guard, they were confused. But the look on Dillon's face is showing them that something is wrong.So as dutiful and loyal guards of the summer realm, they decided to help their king in catching that guard.Just within a few minutes, the culprit is chased by a dozen summer guards and Dillon. The culprit ran out of the palace easily, with his guard uniform, and into the middle of the village, where innocent people are milling about, and children are playing.Dillon made a few guards run from another direction, in that way, the
Nyra sighed at his words. He is right. They cannot do anything about it now. Everything will be known in time, she decided.She turned around to face Drake and pulled him to a kiss. Drake responded immediately and kissed her back.He kissed her with passion and love. Their tongues danced together with love.Soon their clothes touched the floor and Nyra is screaming with pleasure, and Drake lifted his mouth from between his legs.Nyra smiled sultrily and took his hardened member into her mouth.Drake groaned with pleasure and guided her moments, with a soft grip over her hair.His moments became jerky and he came with her name on his lips. Thick ropes of his come spread all over her breasts and down her stomach.He kissed her soundly on her lips and carried her towards the bathroom.They bathed and changed into their nightwear. They lay down on the bed under the covers peacefully.Near the palace gates, the summer far,
The guard is shocked to see the summer fae lying unconsciously on the ground. No one is moving. The once chaotic village is now dead silent.Not a single soul is moving. There is no residential red fog anywhere around. As if it disappeared through the wind with great speed, leaving behind these unconscious people."What the hell" Drake muttered with shock."What happened here?" Mason muttered with confusion.The summer guard saw the red fog moving along with the wind and making the people sick in the process."King Dillon was chasing after a fellow summer guard. None of us understand why at first. But as he is our king, we thought it is our responsibility to help him with catching that guard. We later found out that he is the one who is making our old king Cedric paralyzed with some kind of drug. We chased him out of the palace to this village. We surrounded him. So to escape and make us suffer, he removed a vile and let it fall on the ground. But
"You came," Dillon said with surprise.Drake looked at his drawn and worried face."Of course I came. I can't leave you alone when you are in trouble. Can I?" Drake said and offered his palm for Dillon to take.Dillon took the offered hand and got himself up from the ground."It took more than a quarter of the summer fae with it," Dillon said, regarding the fog.Dillon is thinking that everyone in those villages is dead. He just assumed the fog is killing them. He didn't have time to stop and check their pulses. He was more worried about protecting them, rather than checking their pulses."It didn't. They are all still alive. Just sick because of whatever was there in that vile. We need to find a cure to make them better" Drake assured Dillon.When Dillon heard those words, he became hopeful."You checked their pulses?" Dillon asked.The fae and the humans almost have the same internal body functioning. They adapted differently t
"Don't tell me it's one of Koni's works" Dhari muttered.Mason snorted."It is" he confirmed.Dhari shook his head with disapproval."He is becoming too bold and ruthless these days," Dhari said mostly to himself.Mason and Dale looked at Dhari skeptically."Do you know anything about this red fog thing?" Mason asked.Dhari nodded his head."I know. But there would be different blends in this drug. The main drug used in these blends is the same. But the assisting drugs that are used with the main drug, would increase the potency and severity of the infection. By your words, I understood that the drug spread wildly through the wind. That means, it looks more potent. But I need to check the liquid or at least the vile that stored the liquid to suggest the antidote" Dhari said.Mason hesitated to give the broken pieces of the vile, that Drake collected to Dhari."This seems to affect all the Fae. This might affect you as well.
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
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
