Chapter 16: Priest We are seated in a large sedimentary rocks near the sea. The cut in my neck became exquisite, which is why Shiloh decided to stay here for a while. He cleaned my woods using the herbals he found near the forest to the Erythraean Sea. He cleaned it using the water we bought for drinking. I said to him that we shouldn't waste the water left in us since we don't know where we will ever reach our destinations. I mean we have sea water in front of us so why would you waste water that we are consuming? He just looked at me like I was the stupidest person he had ever met. “Stupid! Sea water is not good for your wounds. The micro-organism living in the ocean can infect your wounds and cause it to go septic. In addition to that, it can start a cascade of events that can make your wounds take longer to heal, in a worst scenario you can become sick and sooner die while we are in the middle of our mission!”, he explained that makes me dumper. Can someone translate what he jus
Chapter 17: Bitten We are back here again to the Inn, I choose to change my clothes into a more flexible clothes. I picked the bag that was full of my clothes as I decided to leave half of my clothes. Undergarments are much more important than these classy clothes. I put the three bottles of water and snacks that I found on the top of the table inside of my bag, it is for emergency purposes. I arranged my hair into a high ponytail before picking my weapons. There was still blood on it so I cleaned it using hot water. As I wiping the blade in my knives I remember what happened on the border of Cromoria. The hunters, I wonder if there are still many of them left. I sigh as I finish cleaning my throwing knives. I stand up before wearing the cloak that Shiloh gave to me. I looked at myself in the mirror, I am itching to know who I really am. I hope I can find my purpose in the Mountain of Chaldea. Father Immer must be alive. I came out of my room and at the same time Shiloh left his roo
Chapter 18: Reatainer I opened my eyes when I heard a movement and it turns out that it was Shiloh trying to stand up, he looks so pale and it is making me worry. Should I hunt some animals that could return his strength, I mean its blood? I help him to sit down properly before picking up the bag he uses as a pillow. I took one of the bottles of water inside the bag and I opened it. I put it in Shilohs mouth for him to drink since his lips are getting dried. I don't know if his thirst will disappear but I hope this water can help him even just a little. I hold Shiloh’s forehead using the back of my mind to feel his temperature but he just holds my hands to stop me. That's why I raise one of my eye brows. “I am not that weak, Calliope”. He said as he smirked at me, he is still annoying even if he is in a situation like this. I looked behind me when I saw a movement in my peripheral vision. It was Ahira and she was looking into my hand while still holding Shilohs forehead while he w
Chapter 19: ShearlingI was shocked when I saw Ahira kneel in front of us.“Accept me as your retainer, my Lord!”, she shouted at the top of her lungs. I smiled when I heard what he said. I will be happy if Shiloh accepts her. I jump to the horse we are riding and now Shiloh is the only one who's riding it, a prince riding on a horse to be precise. He looks like a royal prince in which every girl would die for. Well, he is really one.Shiloh scratched the back of her arm looking so irritated. “I don't need one. And don't you know how dangerous it is to follow us?”he asked but I pinched him in his legs for him to look at me angrily. I am motivating him to accept Ahira. What if they are meant to be with each other? Thinking about that made me smile like an idiot.“Bu–But you're the reason why I am still alive and sane at the same time. I would die for you, my Lord”, Ahira said while looking at Shilohs head. I saw Shiloh look away, who is being shy now?“Fine! Be my retainer but kid yo
Chapter 20: ProphecyThe day passed, the same as the night, the predawn light was just beginning to show through. We were walking as we decided to leave the horse in the hotel we stayed all night as we were going to board a ship. At the moment we are on our way to the harbor to go to the last City which is the City of Samaria, near Samaria is the Mountain of Chaldea where we can find father Immer, the seer.The staff outside the ship help us with our belongings before we get inside. This is my first time riding a ship that is why I am so excited and nervous at the same time.Shiloh inform us that boarding in a ship is the only way to go the City of Samaria. I look at Ahira and she looks like a goddess as her long hair flies in the air. She is still wearing the dress I gave to her and the shoes Shiloh bought for her. It was very windy, that's why I arranged my hair in a low bun hairstyle. I heard a horn and I think it was the cue to start the voyage. Almost two hours have passed as I
Chapter 21: IMYI groaned when I got the chance to lie on my bed. How I missed this soft bed of mine. I already changed my clothes into a comfortable one. A while ago, Shiloh and Ahirah were here to borrow some clothes since it is already late at night no maiden was out since it is already past their curfew. I missed Miss Penelope.I also gave Ahira slippers but it seems like she didn't want to take off the boots given by Shiloh but still she accepted it. I asked them where Ahira will sleep since she can sleep with me if there was none but Shiloh said that there is still a free room for her.It has been almost a week since I left the mansion and tomorrow I am going to visit the training field. I miss the knights as well as Elon.I remember why I chose to leave the Cravens manor, the main reason is for me to forget my feelings toward Aziel. I don't know if ever I'd forget about that but I will think that when I saw himI fell asleep forgetting about the prophecy and it was almost eight
Chapter 22: Wicked“Miss Penelope!!!”I called her name excitedly as I ran toward her, she smiled at me and later on laughed at my actions.“I miss you, Miss Penelope!”, I said as I face her holding both of of her shoulders“I miss you too, Calliope”, she said while putting the tray of food on my table. It is the time where she always brings me food, that is why I am happily waiting for her. It is already lunchtime, that's why she's here.“How are you? It's been a week, Calliope and you didn't even bid a goodbye”, she said, holding my face.I scratched the back of my head when I heard her say that.“I know you have your reason but next time tell me huh?” She said that's why I nodded, she put my hair covering my face at the back of my ears.“By the way, Sir Shiloh said that you need to go to his room after you eat your lunch”, she said and I just nodded.She hugged me one last time before she came out to my room. I wonder why Shiloh needed me, is there something important he is going to
Chapter 23: UnfairAziel’s Point of View Don't believe her Aziel.Of course I won't, besides I know exactly who Vashti Redezdale is. I smiled when I heard her say something to herself. I can buy myself flowers.“Why are you smiling at me like that?”, I looked at Vashti and frowned when she said those words. She is smiling like an idiot smelling the flowers that weren't for her.I pulled back the bouquet of roses in her hands and said, “This isn't for you, it was for Shiloh”, I said before turning my back on her. She must be delusional.I heard her stump her feet and called my name but I didn't bother myself to look back. I decided to go directly in Shilohs room since he requested this when he found out that I will go to the City.I don't even know why Vashti is here inside the manor, I mean yeah she and her family are welcome here since my parents are friends with them but it was a long time ago. I already forgot their faces.She always roams around everywhere saying that she is my
Chapter 106: EndCalliope's Point of ViewFive years have passed and I am living to the fullest.“Lo—Love!”I called Gideons attention while we were eating our breakfast. My tummy started to hurt and I couldn't stop myself but to moan in pain. “Calliope?! What—Don't tell me?! Shit! Wait, hold on huh?!”, he said as he stood up and he helped me hold my hand to support me from standing. He started panicking when my water broke and he started calling the nights and his Beta, Adlai. She accepted the position and I am glad she did.“Adlai!”Gideon said and he motioned one of our maids to help me. “What? It's so early and yet you are shouting? —”, Adlai stopped when she saw my condition. “Oh My God, Oh My God! Oh my Goddd!”, she said as she ran towards us.“What to do?”I shake my head when they simultaneously ask each other. “What is happening?!”Adlai said and she dont know what to do, these two, really.“Damn it, Adlai! Calliope is going to give birth to my son! Do something!”, he said a
Chapter 105: Victory“You can't do anything now, Calliope. We are already tied and you already accepted me”, he said and my eyebrow automatically raised. But deep inside, I am so happy that I cannot express my feelings. All I know is I am starting to realize who he was in my life. So this is what they were saying of having a mate. Having a mate means you have someone to share everything with. And I remember I felt about Aziel, meeting this guy and knowing that he was my mate, my feelings automatically faded. No, I mean, that immediately faded was so overreacting, Gideon was so overwhelming that it buried my feelings towards Aziel. Maybe because I already accept that Aziel will never be mine but there is still a part of me that wants to be his girl.And Gideon? I want to be with him for the rest of my life. I dont know if this is how mates works cause what I am feeling right now seems to be so fast.“Sir—”, he cut me off by putting his index fingers in my lips to stop me from talkin
Chapter 104: ImpactI slowly open my eyes but because of blurry vision, I choose to close it again, tightly.“I'm glad you are already awake”, someone spoke from beside me and it was Caitronia. I decided to sit down when I remembered what just happened, “E–Elon, where's Elon?”I asked her and I started to look around to see where he was.“You have to rest, Calliope. Elon is fine”, she informed me and I breathed a sigh of relief.“Sandaya? Where is Sandaya? What happened to her?”I asked her the following questions and she gave me a small smile. I looked behind her and there I saw Elon lying on the ground. That's why I stood up.“Where are you going, you should rest until you fully recover, Calliope”, she said and then she tried to hold me by holding my arm. “I'm fine, Caitriona”, I picked the cloaks that I was using and I walked slowly to Elon, I covered him using the cloak like it was a blanket.I look at him and I smile, thank God he was okay. I am really worried. “The Alpha takes
Chapter 103: TruthShiloh's Point of View“Who–Who did this to them!”I ask Gideon after I saw my brother and sister almost dying, no, not an almost, they are dying for Pete's sake!“Calm down, Shiloh”, Ahira said behind my back as she tried to tap me on my shoulders. “How can I if my family is in this state?”I asked her, confused but she just looked at me before he looked at Gideon who was trying to help my sisters. Ahira starts to move when she notices that my sister and Herod need medical attention as soon as possible, she puts her hands on her pocket and she picks the gun we use to inform the others. She put the blue gas inside the gun and after that, she pointed the gun to the sky and after she pulled the trigger, the blue smoke surrounded the area. It is mainly used to get the attention of the medical team for situations like this.“I did that to Aziel”, Gideon uttered that made me stop from moving.“What?”I ask to confirm what I have just heard. “I did that to Aziel”, he sai
Chapter 102: RemorseGideon’s Point of ViewI transformed into a human after I saw where the black smoke was coming, I saw Zipporah, together with Herod who was lying on the ground, breathless. I instantly got worried because of their state, lots of blood that is coming off from their body has stained the ground. I felt dejected when I noticed that they were holding hands. I hold their hands to feel their pulse and I breathe hard when I feel their pulse but it is weak and if no one will give medical attention to them, they might die, no, they will die.“Long time no see”, I heard someone talk near the trees. It was him.“Let's put an end to this”, I answered him with confidence. I tightened my hold to both of them as it was like I was getting strength from them.“I'm sorry, I am too late”, I uttered as I looked at their faces and even though they were dying? They look so at peace, they look so solemn.“Two years have passed. And you don't change anything”, he said after he stood up.
Chapter 101: Tied and TangledAziel's Point of ViewFlashback“No! I am the reason why our father and mother are dead!”Shiloh kept on shouting those words while he was crying. Yeah, you should know that it was your fault! Yes, you are the real reason why I don't have my parents right now!I wanted to say these words to his face but I decided to keep it to myself. I was crying near the gate while Zipporah was calming down Shiloh. I looked at Zipporah and it looked like she was stopping herself from crying. Why would she try to stop it when it is just normal to cry after your parents die? The way she acts right now is the real definition of weak.“No, Shiloh. Listen to me”, I heard Zipporah tried to talk to Shiloh as she kept on tapping his back gently like a kid. Tsk, we are old enough to hold our emotions. If he wants to blame himself then let him be, after all, it was the truth.“What happened is just an accident. No one wants that to happen and you have nothing to do with it”, Zipp
Chapter 100: KissShiloh’s Point Of ViewAhira was fighting with Ria while I was fighting this bastard, the traitor one. 'Caden”, I called him out and he just looked at me like he didn't care. You must be careful because your life is at stake here.“If you think you can defeat then you are being delirious”, I said as I gave him a smirk. “Shiloh”, he called me the same tone I made when I called his name. He really wants to get on my nerves huh?“You are not strong enough”, he said before he pointed his gun towards my direction.“The strong do not have its weakness, and you have”, he said and he pulled the trigger but because of my ability, I avoided the bullet by turning my head sideways.“That's it?”I ask him teasingly and he just looks at me with anger. He pulled the trigger twice and immediately avoided it using my two arrows. I released it the same time he let out his bullets. I chuckled and that made him frown, “This is gonna be easy”, I said friskily.“Don't be so arrogant, Sh
Chapter 99: Die For YouZipporah’s Point of View“You should know your place, Zipporah”, Aziel retorted and everything went past when Herod and I both attacked each other. I groaned in pain when I gots cuts from his swords.But I don't have any time to complain. Shit! This is what I am saying! I might hurt this guy for pete's sake!“I–Im sorry”, he uttered and I gave him a smile as I nodded to say that it was okay.“Oops, sorry”, I playfully said when he got stabbed by me in his arm and he just chuckled.We may look so exuberant but I know that deep inside, we are both scared and nervous at the same time. “You guys are taking me so lightly huh?”Aziel asked us as he throwed his dagger between us and I exerted my strength so that I could avoid it and Herod did the same.“Now”, Aziel whispered but since we are the only three who have been left in this area because the others have already evacuated, we can hear that properly.This time, he looked so serious that I think he was ready to k
Chapter 98: EyesZipporah's Point of View“Damn you Aziel!”, I shouted when he tried to throw his daggers at me.“My pleasure”, he said sarcastically while bowing down like a royal.“Oh! I have an idea!”, he said and the way he smirks, I already knew that I wouldn't like it.“It's boring since all you have to do is to defend yourself, Zipporah. What if…You tried to attack Herod?”, he suggested it was just a simple opinion he got there.Herod is looking at me with his eyes pleading, he didn't stop from rAziel is controlling him, tackling me and breaking me.“Kill me, Zipporah”“I know you can do it”“You are strong”“It will be easy if you won't put limit to your actions”He kept on saying those words while holding a sword, I don't know where did he get that but Aziel is controlling him that is out of his will so tell me? How could I hurt him when he wasn't doing anything?“Zipporah”, Aziel asked me and that is the most idiotic thing that I have done, the biggest mistake that I have ma
