It was 11 p.m. when Ragnor arrived at Matara and Clara was already asleep hugging Ragnor's pillow. Ragnor smiled when he entered the room. He went to the bathroom and after taking his shower, climbed into bed. He slowly pulled the pillow from Clara's hand, placed it behind his head and pulled Clara into his embrace. Still in her sleep, Clara wrapped her arms around him and he kissed the top of her head before closing his eyes. Ragnor had a smile on his face while holding Clara, in his arms with his eyes closed. He was happy about the alliance with the government, his dream is now a reality. The people would have a safe place to hide by the time Siku and his army arrived in the city. Clara opened her eyes when the sun's rays hit her face. She pulled the sheets to cover her face but the sheet was pulled away. "Arise and shine," came Nyota's voice. "Hmm, what time is it?" Clara asked in a sleepy voice and yawned. "It's time to wake up," Nyota replied. "Come on, get up and go freshen
"I may be human and not strong enough but I will fight for my children's future and it will be worth it even if I die doing so. I know I will be securing my children's home," the human said. One after the other, both humans and vampires stood as a sign of their determination and decision to protect their city for future generations. Clara was sitting watching as everyone was now standing on their feet. Ragnor raised his hand asking them to sit down. "Thank you all for your loyalty but as your king, I can't watch you die on my behalf. This is not a kingdom war but a personal war. I will train you to defend yourself that is for those who will still insist on staying behind. We will be ready when they arrive, as starting today, we will be preparing ourselves for war," Ragnor announced and they all agreed. Ragnor dismissed them but his eyes were fast to have seen Andrews walking out of the hall among the people. He used his vampire speed to get to him. He did notice something different
Ragnor had successfully signed the alliance contract with the governor based on which he was able to offer an alternative safe place for his people. In his communication, he had also disclosed to the people the war that was coming upon them with Siku as the lead. As much as he requested the people to move to safety, they all decided to fight with him. Andrews apologizes for his past mistakes and as proof of his loyalty and the fact that he has changed, he offers to join Ragnor in the fight against Siku. As part of preparation for the upcoming war, Clara suggested they build a protective wall and Ragnor seeing this as a good idea, quickly put some people to task and they built three walls surrounding the entire city. They did not just build a wall but the people were equally trained in combat including Clara. George and Nyota arrived at the immortal city to find a city completely protected by a triple wall. They were very happy with what the people had done to defend the city. Ragnor w
Ragnor returned to his human form and carried Clara to his room and George carried Nyota to her room. Both men spent the night cuddling their women. While they slept the vampire lords discussed the outcome of their attack in their meeting room. "Truly this confirms Ragnor is the reincarnation of the hybrid vampire we fought many years ago," said the vampire lord one. "In that case, we don't need him as king any more. He did rule better than his father or Maddox but we can't take chances because of who he is. We are sitting on a time bomb if we do nothing," said the vampire lord two. "I don't understand, I thought it was the human girl you didn't want around," asked the vampire lord three. "Yes, we didn't want the human girl around, because we didn't want a human to rule us as a queen. He did something about it. He maintained the position of one of our own as queen," explained the vampire lord two. "So now why do we want to kill him? Our city has known peace since he became king,"
"Yes my queen, but you need to rest, it's 5 a.m.," Ragnor said still lying in the same position.Clara nodded and planted a kiss on Ragnor's forehead, in between his brow, the tip of his nose, and his cheeks but before she could get to his lips, he flipped her over and was now on top of her, covering her with half of his body. He stared down at her and she smiled."You are very stubborn sometimes, you know that?" Ragnor said still staring at her and she smiled. It was obvious she was tired. He shook his head and lay back down. Clara turned and rested her head on Ragnor's chest and wrapped his arms around her. "Get some rest, my love. Sunrise comes with unexpected events and we will need our energy," Ragnor said and Clara nodded closing her eyes to sleep. It was 5. 50 a.m., when Ragnor sensed something strange. His sharp sense picked up something bad about to happen. He cast a protective spell over Clara and got out of bed immediately to find out what it was. He stepped out of the pa
"We fight for our future," shouted another human. "Yes, we fight," responded the crowd.Ragnor raised his hand and the crowd quieted down."I am so proud of you all. For your love and commitment. I can't promise you will all be alive after this war but I promise you one thing, history will forever remember all of you. I will do my best to protect all of you and keep you alive as long as I can," Ragnor announced. "Take your stands in your various position, my team and I would be out there to meet them. Your job is to protect the city, I would do my best to stop them from getting inside the city," Ragnor added."My king, can I come with you?" requested my one human.Ragnor looked at the young human, who seemed to be just in his twenties. He was surprised by the boldness of the humans vs the vampires. Ragnor smiled at him, "You will be safer inside the walls. I am going outside the wall. It is very risky," he replied to the boy."It is dangerous, that is why I want to come. It is our du
All three vampire lords turned to look at the person at the door. The vampire lord One stared in total shock. The vampire lord three questioned George. "What are you doing here? Do you have a death wish?" questioned the vampire lord three. "That is a question I should be asking you because you are the one courting death. I told you I would be back for you, didn't I?" replied George and he closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his eyes had changed to blue. He roared and he placed both of his hands to the ground as his wings appeared. He flapped them and the wind blew the vampire lords to the back of the room, crushing them into the wall. At the time the vampire lords recovered from the crush, a griffin stood before them and it was not all happy. They fired their weapons at the griffin but it was useless. The magical bird had a protective shield around it and hence their weapons could not penetrate its skin. The griffin roared again and advanced towards them. The vampire lord t
"Don't worry I will let you see her one more time before I send her out of this world. So what is it going to be?" Siku asked through gritted teeth."Siku, your fight is with me so fight me and leave them alone. I wronged you right?" Ragnor said and moved away from the army with the instruction, "Defend yourself. If they attack you fight them," "Let your army fight me, if they kill me, you can have the city," Ragnor said and Siku nodded and moved back. Siku's army charged to fight Ragnor. They are immortals but they don't have the vampire speed even though Ragnor's blood brought them to life but they don't have his deadly weapons. Ragnor moved at the speed of light, using all his deadly weapons on them. He cut them with his wings using a spell to make them burn from within. Some he injected with creature-eating buds to destroy them. Even though they were dead and felt no pain, Ragnor's methods were destroying them. Siku's army numbered in millions and Ragnor needed to transform int
