Ruby trudged onto the path that leads to her home. She looked up at the weary path. Tears now dried on her face, and her back was covered in blood. Feeling the oozing of the blood dripping down to her waist, she can feel the broken pieces dig deeper into her flesh with every movement she was making. She was numb from the pain in her back and the tingling sensation in her heart was now gone. Ruby knew that there was only one thing left to do, and that was to let Eric go. Knowing that once it's done, only time can mend her broken heart. Looking up at the enchanting peach blossom tree she stared at it with tears wielding up again in her eyes. Kneeling down before the peach blossom tree she said, "Grandmother Willow please teach me how to unbind the red string." Grandmother Willow who was asleep, woke up yawning. When her visions came to, she saw Ruby bleeding and stains of tears on her face. She saw the pain her granddaughter was in. For this was also her last straw with this stupid pr
Eric was puzzled and thought to himself, was it a dream or was it a hallucination. He looked at his table and opened the drawer. In there he saw the two broken pieces of the ointment jar. "No, it can't be. It must be because I feel guilty for hurting her that I just dreamt of her. It's nothing else," he said to himself. He was restless that he couldn't sleep that night. His heart felt unsteady as if he lost something important. Ruby returned back to her home and lay in front of the river. She was exhausted. Even with her eyes closed she couldn't sleep.Grandmother Willow's tree branches pivoted to lift her chin up to her and said, "What's bothering you?""How do you know I'm not asleep," asked Ruby."You're frowning.""I just can't sleep.""Ruby, dear...""Yes, Grandmother Willow," said Ruby looking up at her."I think it's time you hear the truth about me.""You sure?""Yes.""Have you ever read about the Northern Border's great beauty?""I have, but there were only words. Not a sin
“While they were searching, they stumbled upon a withering peony. Henry who saw it first, didn't care for it, so he went forth in search of the mission. While Ethan took that peony flower back and nurtured it. Rumor was that the peony flower was the dead girl's spirit. For some unknown reason the powers of the phoenix passed onto him. Some believe that since there was no more descendent, the powers went to him since he took care of the flower. The answer is still unclear.”“So, my grandfather was the first to have the phoenix’s power without being a direct descendent?”“Yes. And one thing is for sure, he is also a part of the Vermilion Bird Clan who is closely related to the Phoenix as well. So, for a while, that was also another thought that the phoenix choose him.”“That is true.”"Your grandfather practiced the phoenix's power in secret, never revealing to anyone he have the power. Only Henry knew.""Of course, that man would know." "One day Henry asked your grandfather to borrow
“GRANDFATHER!” Shouted Eric. He spat out blood as his poison surged through his body. The poison he accidentally ingested five years ago is slowly working its way through his body. He could feel the coldness tinglingly in his fingertips. The hotness was scorching in his chest. Grunting in pain as he fell down onto his knees and vomited blood. This strange poison is slowly making its way through his body. How he got this poison is still unknown. By the time he realized he was poison, it was already too late, for it was embedded in his blood. “Eric! We got to retreat!” shouted Kevin.Eric saw that many of his men was dying, and some were heavily wounded. His grandfather who came to help with the war was also badly injured. "We can't hold onto the provisions! We must leave it," said John. "Let them have it," exclaimed Kevin trying to fight off more demons. “RETREAT!” shouted Eric. Everyone stopped fighting and returned back to the military camp. He frowned in worry as he saw the so
"Prince Eric?" Eric became paralyzed. Even her voice was captivating. He gasped at the beautiful woman in front of him. Kevin, who was standing next to Eric, nodded. However, he heard no movement . He looked around and saw that that no one else was saying anything but staring intensely at Ruby. He looked around and was confused by the men's reactions. Everyone was looking at the little beauty in front of them as if they were in a trance. He scratched his head. He too have seen many beauties, but not as beautiful as Ruby, however for everyone to just look at her in silence was a bit shocking to him. Tilting his head, he looked at Eric. Eric, like the rest of them, didn’t blink. He too, appeared to be immobilized as well. Realizing no one was moving, he nudged Eric. Expecting Eric to move since he hated her the most, but Eric didn’t budge. He was surprised and stared at him while frowning. Eric was still staring at Ruby. Annoyed, he elbowed Eric on the side and said, “Eric?”Eric, wh
...He have not seen a lot of women with big boobs, and to see Ruby with them he was happy. Even though he wish they weren't so revealing, he will let it slide for now. He silently smiled as he was satisfied with her beauty and looks. Eric gasped as he caught himself admiring her. Embarrassed, he looked away. A cough came from the tent and sounding familiar to her, Ruby quickly ran to the tent. “Godfather,” said Ruby.“Ruby!” exclaimed her Godfather.She ran to the bed and hugged him.Eric walked into the tent along with his three commanders.“How are you doing?”“I’m fine. Now that you are here, I have someone I can depend on. Unlike someone over here,” as he was eyeing Eric annoyingly.Clearing her throat she said, “Do you want anything to eat?”“Oh, can you make me one of your soup? I’m dying to try something else besides boil potatoes.”“Potatoes are good.”"Really?""Yes."“Alright than I trust you.""Okay.""Well, now that you are here, you will have to take care of me. Unlike so
The wind blew, and her hair shifted around her beautiful face. As she brushed her hair behind her ear she looked up at Eric. Her blue eyes shimmering at him. Nearly losing himself at the sight of her beauty again, he silently gasped. Staring at her for a moment to intake her beauty. He blinked a few times before handing his bowl to her. His hands was shaking invisibly. As Ruby was about to grab another soldier’s bowl, someone handed his bowl to her. She stared at the hand. Ruby frowned as it looked familiar and looked up. She then realized who it was, her eyes met his for a brief moment. She took his bowl and filled it up with soup and handed it back to him.The rest of his men also follow suit.As he was walking away, he heard Kevin said, “Miss Scarlet, your soup smells good.”“Thanks. I hope it taste as good as it smells,” replied Ruby.“Of course, it does Miss Scarlet. It tasted very good,” said the soldiers who had already finished their soup.He turned back to look at her. Eric t
“What are you doing here?” asked Eric. Startled, Ruby let out a scream. Looking at him with shocking eyes, Ruby said, “You scared me.”Eric stared at her. He was admiring her beautiful look and her gorgeous body. His thoughts was telling him to take her by the waist and pin her down on the ground. As he is on top of her, strip off all of her clothes and make love to her while they were alone. His manhood leap in joy. She is his fiancée, so he have every right to touch her. "What are you doing?" asked Eric walking closer to her. "It was getting hot, so I was just trying to cool off by taking off my-my coat," replied Ruby. She pulled her clothes to cover herself. Eric nearly smiled as he admired her trying to cover herself. Ruby looked up at him as he was still staring at her. Keeping a straight face he said, “Why are you here?”“I’m picking up herbs.”“You know herbs as well?”“Yes. I did grow up in the mountain, so it’s common for me to know.”Eric didn’t reply.Ruby handed him h
“Now, we got to think of a name for him.” “Right now?” “Yes. Better now than later.” “Well, we got a week left.” “What about the name Aaron Thompson?” “Aaron?” “Yes. I feel like he’s our little miracle.” “Alright. I like that name.” Just as she finished saying her words her stomach felt sharp pain. She grunted in pain. “Ouch. Eric, Eric, something is wrong.” “What-What’s wrong?” “I don’t know.” “What are you feeling?” “I don’t know. My stomach is squeezing tightly together.” “What? What does that mean?” “Fairy Princess is going to have the baby.” “WHAT!” exclaimed Eric. He was panicking. “Ouch, it hurts so badly.” “Hold on, Fairy Princess.” “You’re having contractions? Now?” questioned Eric with worries in his voice. He looked around as they were far away from the palace. “Eric, I think the baby is coming,” grunted Ruby. “Sh*t,” said Eric. “Come on. Let me carry you back.” He lifted her in his arms and ran towards their room. “Fairy Princess, Fairy Princess, hold o
It was early morning, and they took a stroll by the lake. “Eric?” questioned Ruby. “Yeah,” answered Eric. “Um, what of Samantha?”“Her, don’t you worry. She’s wallowing in her own madness.” “Oh. Well, I hope never to see her again.”“No. You won’t see her anymore.” Eric smiled at her. “Good. I want her to be in the same darkness she put me through. Even as a child she put me made me suffer through so much.” Ruby clenched her fists tightly.“I will help you wash away all of those bad memories with all of my love. I have so much more love to give you and our child.”"I know.""Know that I will protect your, our child, and our family." Ruby nodded. “Oh. By the way, what happened to Henry?”“He’s locked up in the cell. The emperor was so angry at him that he chopped off all his limbs. Now he’s just a body, awaiting death. I also gave him the hot and cold poison,” answered Eric. “And I cut off his tongue, so he can’t curse us.” “Oh. Well, that’s good. I want him to suffer for what h
They all started walking back to the palace when all of a sudden Ruby started feeling lightheaded. She lost vision for a few seconds and collapsed.Eric, seeing her, caught her in his arms. “Ruby? Ruby?”“What’s wrong?” asked Empress Dowager.Ruby shook her head and said, “I’m fine. I’m just exhausted.”“Are you sure?” asked Eric.“Ruby are you positive child?” asked Empress Dowager.“Yes. I’m quite positive,” answered Ruby.As they all got back to the palace, the Emperor shouted, “Let’s have a feast tonight! Everyone from the young to old, rich to the poor. Come join us. Let’s all celebrate!”That night everyone from all over the Dragon Empire came to join the party.Ruby sat next to Eric. Eric held her hands in his. He kissed her hand. She smiled sweetly at him.“What do you feel like eating?”“I don’t know.”“What about fish?”One of the maid brought over a steam fish.Ruby smelling the fish started to gag. She had the feeling of wanting to throw up.“Ruby? What’s wrong?” asked Eri
The sky started to clear. The dark clouds disappeared, and it became bright again. The sun came through the clouds shining brightly at them.They both sigh as Chaos is defeated.“What’s that noise?” asked Ruby.“Yeah. It’s so loud,” said Eric.There were loud cheers and applause as they took down the destruction of earth.“YESSSSSSS!” screamed Theo.“Well done, my boy!” shouted the Emperor.“That’s my grandson and goddaughter!” exclaimed Empress Dowager. “I mean she’s my granddaughter-in-law.”“They did it! They did it!” shouted Kevin.“Whoo-hoot!” shouted Zachery.John applauded loudly.They both landed on the ground and their spiritual powers disappeared behind them.“So, the golden dragon and the phoenix won Chaos and brought another era of peace on earth,” said the Emperor.Ruby and Eric nodded.Everyone was cheering and hugging them.“Sister-in-law,” said Elijah.“Eric,” said Adian.Both of them hugged them as well.Crackle. Crackle. Something was emerging from the wall. The blac
Everyone looked into the sky and saw a huge cloud of black mist. It’s eyes was white like the horrendous beasts.“It’s Chaos,” stuttered William.“How are we doing on that black hole?” asked the Emperor.“We’re nearly there. I nearly got it,” said William.“Hold yourself steady and closed that portal so that Eric and Ruby could focus on Chaos.”“Yes, your majesty.”Eric and Ruby both jumped up into the sky.Eric changed, “Come forth my Golden Dragon.”Out of the sky came a humongous golden dragon, shining brightly in the sky. His whole body was covered in gold. His claws was enormous, and his teeth was sharp and glistering.“Wow,” exclaimed Ruby.“Yeah. I know right. This thing took me a few years to master.”“Oh. Same with my phoenix.”“Now, let’s take down this Chaos, shall we?”Ruby nodded.Chaos summoned out a wrath of black clouds and started to shoot it at them.“Dodge it,” said Ruby. Her phoenix spiral passed the black clouds. “One shot,” shouted Ruby. Her phoenix shot out a hy
Many people from the capital who saw her was crying at the raw power Ruby was wielding. Tears were dripping down their faces as they admired the beauty she displayed. Some were weeping at her elegance. Some choked on their spit as they gulped at her goddess appearance. Some were admiring Ruby’s magic and her phoenix’s spiritual power. “Fairy Princess!” shouted Tabitha. “Go RUBY!” shouted Duke Slow. “You can do it!” shouted Empress Dowager. “That’s my woman,” smiled Eric. “The phoenix! The phoenix’s power lives!” shouted Duke Leopard. Rupert also summoned his magic to help lift the forcefield faster. He chanted away hoping that he can aid in her assistance to take down the wild beast. Many of the wild beasts stop in their track as they know who was floating in front of them. Some who dares challenge her dived at her. “Take down!” said Ruby. She flew high up into the sky and came down whooshing through everything. As she glided down the wind blew massively around them. Trees
“No. No. Please, let me atone for the sins,” cried Eric.“Eric, I love you,” said Ruby.Theo’s eyes was full of tears as this scene reminds him of when Ethan died protecting him. “No! I will not let this happen again!” He ran over to Henry and smacked him hard across the face. He fell down onto the ground. Grunting in pain as he rubbed his cheeks from the hit.Eric, hearing the commotion, turned around. “Grandfather?”Theo pinned Samantha’s father down on the ground and smashed his face into the ground. “You open this right now, or I will kill you!” He pushed his face harder into the ground.“Ahh. Help father. He’s trying to suffocate me,” cried Samantha’s father.“You dare threaten my son!” shouted Henry.“Do it or I will make you suffer miserably before you die. You know I can!” exclaimed Theo.Samantha’s father, being the coward he is, started trembling. He nodded his head in agreement.Eric ran up to Henry. He kicked Henry hard in the stomach so that he coughed up blood. He lifted
Soon the people started forming a line. The women and children and elderly were separated into a pile and move to safety. The ones who could fight and defend took a weapon in their hand and stood in front of the capital’s gate. Duke Henry who was watching Ruby was trying to isolate her from Eric, so he could trap her with the beasts. He was going to watch her get annihilated by the beast. He was going to make sure that she dies miserably as she have ruined his life. FLASHBACK Last week she and Eric came to strip him of his title. They watched as he got kicked out of his own home. Because he once served with the previous Emperor, he didn’t have to go to jail, but was humiliated by living in a shabby home. His whole family had to move to a poor and broken town. He was placed as a normal citizen until his trial started. He was criticized for his wrongdoing. He was sat on every single day by those who walked past him. Some of them threw vegetables and rotten fruits at them. Some even t
NEXT FEW WEEKS“Prince Eric,” said Simon.“What is it?” asked Eric.“There are animals running rampant lately.”“What’s the cause?”“I-I...”“What’s wrong?”Kevin was running up to Eric. “Eric, there are some strange looking creatures running through the forest,” panted Kevin. “What kind of strange looking creatures?” questioned Eric.“They’re very horrendous looking. They don’t look like any of the normal animals we usual see.”“What?”“Chaos is near,” said William who walked in on them.“How long?” asked Eric.“Soon.”“That quick, huh,” said Kevin.“Are you two almost ready?” asked William, as he looked at Eric and Ruby.“Yes, we are,” said Ruby. She grabbed Eric’s hand and held it.“Then we must prepare for the worst.”They both nodded.“Report,” shouted Zachery.“What is it?” asked Eric.“There is a black hole emerging from the eastern border.”“What? What is it?”“We’re looking into it right now as we speak.” “When it appear?”“Half an hour ago.”“That would time it to when t
