Semua Bab Syren's Song: Bab 21 - Bab 30

We had been walking for about fifteen minutes when we saw houses begin to appear between the trees. Raver ducked slightly, slowing his carefully calculated steps to reduce the amount of noise he made, the rest of us following suit. First I heard the sound of rough voices shouting orders back and forth before a flash of steel armour passed near the alley we were standing in, running past as the darkness cloaked us from the busy street. I sucked in a breath as my name rang through the crowd, followed by Raver, Hunter, and Remmi as the guards alerted the crowd of our disappearance. That there were wanted criminals on the loose. As bad as the situation was I couldn't help the adrenaline that rushed through me at the thought of having to outrun all these guards to escape. I smiled as I motioned to the other alley next to ours, it was much darker, and fewer people stood near it. We sprinted over, walking until we came to a dead-end where a wall towered over us. "Help me up," I said to

"I'm here, don't try to call me. You know I hate that dumb ritual summoning bullshit you idiots like doing," I climb through the small window I had been watching King Gabriel through as he comforted his wife."You bitch! You never mentioned anything about this child of destruction," the baby began to cry in the queen's arm which brought her to swaddle it on her way out of the room after bowing to me, to which I smiled in appreciation.She's always been, my favourite human. She deserves so much better than Gabriel but prophecies and all that telling the future bullshit means can never interfere with love.Which explains why Amiya has such a big fucking ego. She thinks she's special because she's the goddess of love but she's just an over-glorified, man-stealing prostitute.Gods, I hate her."I'm going to excuse the way you're speaking to me right now because you're shit faced but if you don't watch your tone I'll give you the nastiest STD you've ever gotten, and I know you've had a lot

I felt something passing through that rift. Like a piece of my being was returned to me. For some reason, I felt clarity and peace of mind hit me like a thousand waves. The cause for this sudden sensation is completely unknown but something tells me I'll find out really soon. I looked around, only to realize we were walking on the water. No land, just miles and miles of water. Above us was a clear blue sky mirroring the glossy surface of the vast ocean. Apart from the obvious lack of land and signs of life, there was something calming about this realm that I really enjoyed. "What is this?" "It looks a lot like glass but I could see the water moving below it." "So it's like a barrier then?" "Yeah, I think we should try to find land." "Where do we go now?" "We should all split up and-" "No, I think we have to go down." I interrupted Raver. I felt their stares but I paid them no mind as my mind looked for how I knew that. For some reason, it just felt familiar to me. As if I've

I made my way to the palace in a rush to find my mother in the throne room addressing the general of her army who was about to give his report on the situation.The queen noticed my presence as I entered and gestured to the seat beside her which wasn't there before. It was the same silver chair she sat on, only mine was slightly shorter.I took in a deep breath before sitting beside her, nodding politely to the general who gave me a small smile. His second in command did the same, only he gave a slight bow in my direction."You may speak, now.""Yes, your majesty. One of my men on patrol of the rift found a shadow lurking on the other side of it. As part of his duty, he venture through the rift and found three men of lykan descent waiting on the other side who ambushed him. He was able to take them on, luckily but was left greatly injured. We brought them through to investigate since we think they are likely to be scouts. We haven't been able to confirm anything since they are still v

One training montage later which had a duration of about two days and I was still pretty shit at combat.I don't know what it is, I thought since the sword spoke to me by obnoxiously catching my eyes then that meant I was destined to wield it. Or at least I would not suck as badly as I do. But alas, I am unable to properly hold the thing to swing it at people because my sweaty ass hands kept making the hilt slide out of my palms.Then there's the fact that every time I swung, I miraculously end up missing the training dummy each time.The general and Raver both said that it was because I wasn't focused. Hunter laughed at me and told me I was just horrible at it.How encouraging.The reality was, we weren't exactly ready for war and what it would mean for us. We were on our way to fight and participate in a life-changing event that wouldn't have begun if I hadn't found that rift that faithful day.As for the progress update, however, the men in the army have been training for much long
