Chapter 12: Priam (Part 1)
Last Updated:
2021-11-03 22:35:52The sound of the swaying trees, birds tweeting, and the heavy breaths from tiredness is all I could hear as I feel my body floating in the air. I am positive, I'm being carried by someone on its back.
I instantly open, I could the heat from the shining sun directly on my face. Although hesitant, I move my eyes around just to see a vast view of big trees and lots of wild animals walking along us on our way.
"Whe-where the hell are we?" I said tapping the top of his shoulder.
"Shaun, you're awake." I heard Loki's voice saying in a happy tone.
He put me down on the grass and hand me a bottle of water. I immediately took the bottle of water from him and feast on the water as I slowly felt the thirst creeping in. I sit down on the ground. I feel like I haven't had any fluids in my body. I feel so withered.
"What happened? Why am I in your back?" I said looking at him, confused.
He sat down beside me an

No one dare to break the silence between me and Loki. I did expect asking him would result to this but, I didn't know that it would be this awkward just from asking something Priam have left for me. Is it really that bad? He just stood few steps away from me with a bitter and sad smile on his face. But between the desire to know the truth about myself and the fear from seeing a more terrifying view than what I saw last night, the hunger for truth is what I really crave. But I know, Loki won't have me satisfy that hunger in me with that kind of look on his face. He just stand there for another minute before he finally speak up. "When you discover the things written on dad's journal Shaun, believe me, the look on Anna's face would be nothing compared to that." Loki said looking at me wearing a serious face. "Do you really think you can handle that?" Loki's serious face has become cold. He looks as if he is mocking me. "Aft

Weeks before the Lycaea happens Crescent Moon is one lovely and definitely lively university. Students are all rays of sunshine every time I see them spending their youthful days inside the campus. It's fun watching these kids have this kind of freedom in their hands. Something that both Shaun and I would never experience. I'm glad I will be one of the instructors of this university tomorrow. I'm actually looking forward to that. For all the years we have stayed here, watching this people secretly is one of the things I look out for every day. From tomorrow onwards, I can observe and watch them to my heart's content. The town of Orion is by far the most beautiful place we've been. It has vast fields of green and beautiful sceneries and has many unvisited forests. It was a town in the middle of thousands of trees. That's what I love about it the most. The people are also warm and it was always spring and sun

Everyday for the past couple of years, walking around the campus has been my hobby. I just love this kind of life. Where Shaun and I won't have to hide or run away because some random and unknown people were chasing us. Or we don't have to walk on top of a glass every day worrying that they might catch up to us. This quiet and peaceful life is all I ever wanted."Did you saw that? Some random girl shouted at professor Aphelion! God! She's weird!" "Yeah I saw that! And she's acting really weird. She was about to pass out in the crowd!" "And that's not all! She even cussed Professor Shaun!" "Really? How dare she do that to our soft professor?" I was enjoying my time alone when I heard those girl talking loudly as if they were some kind of megaphones. Professor Aphelion and weird girl? Wait, isn't Shaun's and mine's surname is Aphelion?Never mind my love for walking and observing people. I

"Priam, you have to look for my child. Please, you have to make sure he will not commit the same mistake that I did." a man covered in blood begged while he was in the arms of Priam. Priam was hardly holding his tears, his hands are shaking with the sight of the man in his arms as he holds tightly a piece of paper the man has given to him. The man may have wore the most expensive clothes in the kingdom, but he looks like a beggar begging someone for their pity. The beautiful white-colored satin has become red from all the blood the man had lost. He has wounds all over his body, burn to his feet, few broken bones and his eyes were closed from all the beating he has received. He was in a pitiful state, yet he force himself to continue speaking. "Please, my lord. Stop speaking. We just need to go back to the palace and cure your wounds." Priam was literally shaking from both the anger towards the people who has done a cruel act on

Hundred of years ago.. "My Lord, The Great God Zeus has arrived in the Kingdom." Veto kneeled in front of the King with his right fist on his chest. King Lycaon rests his back on the backrest of the golden shiny throne. He crosses his arms as he look down on one of his paladin. "What would be the great God be doing in our magnificent kingdom?," the conceited and bumptious king said, a smug look plastered on his face. King Lycaon never really believe to the power and superiority of gods and goddesses. He was always arrogant to how he has achieved all of the things he had despite being such a lowly mortal compared to the gods. He built his kingdom himself, lead hundred thousands of people in his command, win various battles and war, and perform the most perfect strategy and tactic. Indeed, he is one skillful and ideal mortal king. But despite the proud and arrogant image of the King, deep inside that hard a

"O Great God Zeus! What has come to your mind? Why would you waste your time on some mortal?" Zeus' head servant, Pablo blurted out after knowing that Zeus has been planning on coming down from Olympus. Zeus places his hands on Pablo’s shoulder as he smile to him. "Why not? I've been hearing lots of things about that man! Apparently.." Zeus pauses and lean to his servant while putting his hand in front of his mouth whispering, "he really hates me"."What an imprudent man! How dare he hate the King of all creation!?" the servant shouted which causes Zeus to back away from him and laughed at his reaction."Don't worry, I'll just visit him for a while and will immediately come back," Zeus said nodding his head. "I need to put an end to all of this" he whispered before he walks. King Lycaon were not only famous in the realms of the mortals but even among the Gods and other races. He was known for his cruel hostility both to his enemies a

"Great God Zeus! Welcome to my Kingdom!" King Lycaon walks towards the God bowing his head slightly to Zeus.Zeus tap his shoulders and smiled to the King, "What a magnificent kingdom you have Lycaon! I guess it was the right choice to come down from Olympus just to see this kind of place," Zeus said walking pass by the king and sits right at the front chair, in the middle.King Lycaon was taken back by the sudden behavior of the God. It was his seat, and no one has ever dared to take it from him as death will be waiting for those who would even think about it.He is the king of this kingdom, he can't just let anybody, even the Gods to humiliate him like this. But he knows fighting the God right at this moment would only cause his plan to fail.There's no other choice, he has to control his self."Of course!

"To tell you honestly, I don't have any sort of plans or goals." he laughed as he pushed me using his sword, "I just want to live a peaceful life.""You could stay here." I quickly bend down when I saw him powerfully swinging his sword horizontally towards me. "I mean, you should. Your father's here. You could do whatever you want to do as you stay here too."Tyler chuckled and shakes his head. "You are so different from your father when you're like this." he jumped away from me as he threw some daggers towards me. "Your father wouldn't easily forgive someone who has done wrong to him. At least that's how I knew him based on the stories."It was my turned now to laughed at him as I threw some daggers to him. "He's not like that at all. I mean that's what Priam told me."

"How.. co-could you.. d-do this.. to me?" I said as I felt a burning sensation all through out my entire body. "I've trust..I've trusted you.."My eyes laid to Austin's crying face. She is trembling and I could see the fear plastered on her pale face. She looks so miserable as she keeps on struggling, trying to escape from the tight rope that is tied around her body.It was too tight to the point of it almost dragging her skin every time she would move or squirm, trying to get out from it."Sh-Shaun..

Her face is a mess.I clenched my fists and turned to glared at Veto, "How could..

Lycaea.It was a ceremony to honor the alpha and the coming king of the kingdom. For Arcadians, it is the most important gathering everyone has been waiting.To give their loyalty to their alpha, to honor his existence and to give their life in the service of their chief, there's no other things that they could've ever ask for.But unlike any other ceremony and gatherings inside the kingdom, Lycaea is only allowed to the members of the Executives as well as to the higher-ranking officials of the kingdom.So, the question is, why would the kingdom, especially Veto, would agreed to the trouble of setting up such an important ceremony for Shaun?Given the fact that he is the only child of the former king, Lycaon. He was supposed to be the heir, and that is not a secret to the entire kingdom. So, in order to somehow give respect to that thing, Veto needed to proceed with it.And he badly need to make it for he desire even greater p

When Priam told me years ago that I was not his child and that someday, I would fulfill an important role given to me and would lead a huge kingdom in the future, I find it rather ridiculous and impossible than the feeling of being honored. I even told him that, how could a unique and indifferent child could lead something even greater and bigger than myself. How could a child with no clear origin be able to influence others and make them accept his leadership?How could I? But Priam just laughed at me as he caressed my head that time. He looked at me with a fatherly smile on his face and said, "Shaun, you're future is already determined even before you were born. Only you and the person you are destined to meet could only change that fate." he said and gave me a tapped on my back, "But I know, you would be able to change that fate, because unlike someone I know, you have a huge heart and personality to do so. And I would always watch your back until that time

I didn't know I would regret something I myself had chosen. No one really forced me to do it, but I felt like I was deceived and played. "Oh? Is that all you can do?" her voice rings into my ear. It feels so irritating and annoying. She's one of the beautiful woman I have seen here in the kingdom. Her pale skin looks so beautiful on her.She looks so surreal, almost like a heroine straight from a comic strip. Her long hair is really magnificent and soft. I wonder how can she moved that fast with that massive and long hair. "Lady Austin, is that all you can do that?" she said almost laughing, "and you dare to say you would stay with the prince forever? That must have been an impossible dream you have there, lady." she smirked as she crossed her arms over her chest. She looked down on me, almost collapsing to the ground with an annoying smile on her face. It feels as if she was judging me with those pair of eyes. And I really hate them looking at

He looked like a proud father for his son, so much that it makes all the hair on my arms and legs to raised and wave."The side of Shaun's mouth moves a little upwards as he shielded his self from Tyler's attacks with his sword. "Lupus is just overreacting." Shaun said running away from Tyler. "Well.. Should I say I did?" he said, almost laughing as he continues to evade and escapes, shielding his self from Tyler's cruel attacks with no intention of stopping. "Lupus.. was all jolly.. and all smiles when he.. talked about it." Tyler said as he continue on attacking while Shaun continues on evading and shielding. "You know the old man. He gets all happy over simple things." Shaun finally let out a surprise attack to Tyler. Tyler's cheeks were scratched and wounded a little bit.

It has been days. Aetos have committed to observe and watch Silver, Lupus along with Winter unusual change of behavior.For the past couple of days, he has been watching them. Keeping a close but discreet distance from them. But unfortunately, he has found nothing. Instead, he noticed that indeed, Lupus and Silver is always together. Sometimes they are training with prince Shaun, there are times with them talking to Winter but several times with only themselves. And that alone is quite suspicious.Lupus is not one to spend too much time with any of them. He was always alone and prefers to be alone. He was aloof and was obvious to be wary of them. 'So, what happened? Why the sudden change?' Aetos thought to himself.He wanted to prove Hamlet he was wrong on suspecting the chief of the paladins, but Lupus and Silver's closeness seems off to him as well as to Hamlet. So he can never ignored the possibility of Hamlet's suspicion being right.

"What? Is that all you can do, Shaun?" Priam laughed at me, playfully swinging his sword in the air. "You have the courage to boast that you are the only child of the great king, but look t how weak you are? Turns out, training with prince Tyler didn't do that much for you, huh?" he said. His hurtful words sting my ears so much. Sometimes, I think deep down he really mean every word. I could hear my own teeth grinding with the emotions building up inside of me.Damn! I hate this feeling. I clenched onto the shaft of my sword and took a deep breath and swing at him in a speed of a light but he easily evaded my attacks and smack me in the head using the scabbard of his sword as he laughed crazily. "Is that it?" he scoffed, "you think that would be enough to beat the king? Just like that? Don't be so foolish, your highness. Surprise attacks like that won't work to a paladin who served your father for a long time."I gritted my teeth a

"WHAT DID YOU SAY!?" Aetos exclaimed slamming his hands against the table. More than anger, his face looks more worried than anything else. "Our king confronted the odd one? Why would he do that?" he said, the veins on his arms showed as he leaned towards the other two. "That's what I heard from the king." Hamlet said crossing his arms over his chest as he looked at Aetos with a blank expression on his face. Unlike the other two; Walter and Aetos, Hamlet seems to be calm and relax. Despite hearing it directly from the king that the odd one knew about everything, he sat there without a hint of worry on his face. "After he saw prince Tyler with that odd one countless of times, he wanted to know the real reason behind that closeness. Whether it was just a simple bond or...
