…Ruby is all he needs. He wants Ruby to know that he have planned on marrying her. He never intended to call off the wedding, and now he is more than determined not to call off the wedding. He wants to marry her as soon as possible. He cannot wait for the year to come to an end for Samantha to withdraw the marriage. He must marry her now. “It was all due to a misunderstanding, my sweet Ruby,” whispered Eric. He wants to make up to her for the rest of his life. Giving her his heart solely. Using his body to shield her. Sell his soul to protect her. For the rest of his life and forever more he will only love her.“Ruby, I’m coming, wait for me,” said Eric. When Ruby woke up, he found that Eric’s was gone. “Where did he go?” thought Ruby. She looked around but he was nowhere to be found. She came to find a note saying that he would return in a few days. She was thrilled that he left for a couple of days. It was enough to make her escape. “Tabitha! Tabitha!” shouted Ruby.“I’m here Fai
Eric combed through his hair with his fingertips. “I will find you, and when I do, I will hold you tightly in my arms. I will make sure you know how much I love you. I will never let you have a reason to leave me ever again! That I promise you,” whispered Eric. A FEW DAYS PASTLooking up into the moon he sighed, and his frustration burned in his eyes. He set loose his blue dragon and he emerged into the sky. His blue dragon was looking for any dust of her. She should be leaving some trail behind her. She shouldn’t have gone far. Since he marked her, he could find traces left by her. “Master, I found her dust,” said the Blue Dragon. “Show me,” said Eric. Eric ended up on a mountain that now had little traces of Ruby’s dust. He was becoming desperate as her dust started to fade more and more. He started a fire to keep himself warm from the cold winter breeze. “Eric!” said Kevin teleporting to him. “What happened?” asked Zachery.John silently followed behind them. Eric didn’t sa
Eric nodded. "She refined it into a level ten pill. She finished it within two months’ time,” said Eric. “Level ten pill? It takes many years for anyone to refine such a pill, but you said she did it within two months?” asked Kevin.Eric nodded again and said, “She refines it during the day, and only emerges at night when she’s done refining it.”“That means she must be a very good alchemist to achieve such level. For I have never heard of such skills before,” said John.“Right. I agree. Kevin how are you guys on the alchemy side. Anyone surpass such levels?” asked Zachery. “I have. My great uncle was once a famous alchemist. But sadly, he died. However, I was told that he left behind a wife and child. My father Elon Slow have been looking for his daughter for many years now, but with no luck,” said Kevin. “Oh, I wonder if Ruby knows her by any chance?” "I'm not sure," said Eric. "I didn't ask her because at that time I was sneaking on her. So, I didn't feel like I should be intrig
Ruby looked and saw that it was indeed him. He was rushing towards her. “Fairy Princess looks like he broke through the barrier.”Ruby shook her head in denial that he found her. How was he so quick to find her. “How?”"He was so quick to find us.""But how? How? I put up one of my strongest magic barrier." The barrier shattered and the Red Dragon was coming at them. “Watch out Fairy Princess,” said Tabitha putting up shield over them.In sparkling light that nearly blinded Ruby, she watched as his red dragon was trying to break through. She looked closely and saw that Eric had summoned both his red and blue dragon. “Prince Eric have two dragons?” questioned Tabitha scratching her head.“No.” Ruby was shaking her head in denial. Eric had summoned his other spiritual power. He was indeed much stronger than she is. She can sense that he had three other spiritual powers that was urging to come out. The spiritual powers he had that he kept well hidden is wanting to show themselves. He
The next following evening when Eric returned from the palace, Ruby was sitting on the bed in front of the window staring at the moon. Eric grabbed her waist and pulled her into his embrace. “What are you thinking?” “I’m thinking of ways to get out of here,” replied Ruby, not looking at him. Eric kissed her on her cheek. "You're never leaving here. You're going to stay here with me forever. Just like how we're meant to be." Ruby stared at him. Eric looked into her beautiful blue eyes, who seemed to be wallowing in pain. He pecked her face and then her lips. He softly brushed her hair and said, “Listen Ruby, in a few months we're going to get married. I want you to know that I really love you.” “We’re never going to get married,” said Ruby. She caught herself as she covered her mouth with her hand. “What does that supposed to mean?” asked Eric frowning at her. “Nothing.” Ruby got up to leave. Eric pulled her by the wrist and pulled her close to him. “What do you mean by those
Gripping onto his shoulder she let him take her. The next morning Ruby woke up. She took a shower and put on her dress. Walking outside she saw Eric. He was staring at the peach blossom tree. He had a cold expression as he stares at it. “What are you doing?” asked Ruby. “Staring,” replied Eric nonchalantly. She didn’t understand why he was staring at it quietly. “How long have you known this tree?” “All my life.” “Is it important to you?” Ruby frowned at his question. Walking closer to him she said, “Yes.” “So, this,” said Eric pointing to the tree, “is your Grandmother Willow?” Ruby have a bad feeling. Clearing her throat she answered, “Yes.” “Then I have no choice but to force your hand.” Eric grabbed Ruby’s wrist and pulled her behind him. “What are you doing?” asked Ruby. Eric pulled her into his embrace. He grabbed her chin and tilted it to the tree. “Look at this peach blossom tree. I want you to look at it closely." “What- What do you want?” “In front of this
She was kept by Eric’s side for many days and many nights. SIX MONTHS PASSED “Fairy Princess, you should stop taking those herbs. It can permanently make you infertile,” said Tabitha. "I know." "How do you know that the Prince doesn't love you. With everything he's done, are you sure it's not love?" "No. It's just his obsession to possess. That's all it is." "Fairy Princess..." “Leave me alone,” said Ruby. Tabitha nodded and left. Of course, she knew it would cause her to be infertile, but she was too afraid. Too scared of being pregnant by a man who hates her to his core. He wouldn’t love her child as he never loved her. Her poor child would be neglected. Hugging herself she wept. She wouldn’t know what to do if she accidentally got pregnant. Ruby still doesn’t know what his true intention is. What he really wants to do with her child if she was to give birth to it. She’s afraid that her child will be neglected by its own father. Maybe like her, he will mistreat him, abus
Eric didn’t wake up until it was evening. When he woke, he found Ruby ingesting some herbs. He saw her taking some of those herbs yesterday too. “What is that?” asked Eric. He grabbed her hand and there was a distinguishing scent of smell on her. Startled Ruby tried to swallow the herbs.Eric pulled her to him and forced her mouth open. He pulled the herbs from her mouth. “So, it’s this type of herbs huh?” growl Eric. He threw the herbs on the ground and stomped on it.Ruby gasped in shock. “What-What are you doing?” “How long have you been taking them?” asked Eric. He had a deadly stare at her. “What-What?" "How long have you been taking these?" Ruby didn't answer him. He pulled her to him and said, "I'm not going to ask you again." "Just-Just now," stutter Ruby. He pushed her away from him. "It's just herbs, what is there for you to be angry about." "So, this is why." "Why what?" "This is why you haven't gotten pregnant." "What?" "At first I thought it was me. Maybe I
“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
