91.SERAFINA

SERAFINA I trudged behind the horses, my legs heavy and my body weary. Every step felt like a hammer was ruthlessly hitting my bones, as I struggled to keep pace with the relentless pace set before me. The gravelly path beneath my worn-out sandals provided little relief – at least, my feet were covered and were not going to be sored with injuries. But with each passing moment, my exhaustion grew.My stomach growled, a reminder of the gnawing hunger that plagued me. The thought of a warm meal and a soft bed felt like a distant dream. A really distant one, as it was not as if any of those were waiting for me by the time I return back to the palace. Or if I return back to the palace, I do not know the purpose of Zahir taking me to wherever he was taking me too. The man was too unpredictable, dangerously unpredictable at that.Confusion swirled within me as I contemplated Zahir’s request for me to accompany him. Why would he want me by his side on this journey? It was a puzzle I coul

92.ZAHIR

ZAHIR As we ventured deeper into the forest, the air grew thick with an otherworldly energy. The sunlight filtered through the dense canopy above, casting ethereal patterns on the forest floor. I pressed forward, my guards following close behind, we treaded upon the moss-covered ground, our steps purposeful and determined.The sorceress had said to acquire the rare crystal, celestial herbs, and the tears of a sacred nymph. These were the crucial ingredients needed for the alleviation spell that could ward off the impending plague threatening my kingdom. These where ethereal items and could only be gotten deep into the forest, where the enchanted dwelt. You could feel the presences of greater forces and elememts, something beyond the realm of mortal understanding. The air carried a faint scent of divine essence, as if the very breath of ancient magic caressed my senses.My gaze scanned the surroundings, searching for any signs or clues that would lead us to our desired treasures.

93.ZAHIR

ZAHIRSerafina, Steven and I returned back to the camp and by the time we did, everyone had packed up the tents and we were ready to resume our search. I noticed that as we made our way back to the camp with she beside me, the voices seemed to fizzle away and I was with a clear head once more. Superb, but it got me thinking for the umpteenth time; what was it about this woman that somehow was able to calm me down? What did she possess? It was truly a mystery, but I didn’t want to dwell on it; despite the fact that she was crucial for my well–being, I couldn’t bring myself to tolerate her. Well, now that she was nearby, I believe I shouldn’t have any cause for worries now. My attention spiraled to Serafina, who was seated on a rock underneath a tree. She looked weakened and in pains as she hugged herself, trying to keep warm. She was obviously cold, and most likely hungry – definitely, I don’t think she has eaten anything since we got here. I turned to Steven, who was right beside

94.SERAFINA

SERAFINAAs the began to pour relentlessly, we sought refuge within the depths of the cave. It was the same cave at which the Cloaked Lycan and I stayed in, and having been in there for some time, I had memorized the interior quite a bit. I hurriedly scoured the cave, my eyes searching for a suitable spot to rest and wait out the storm. Finally, my gaze settled upon a large rock nestled against the cave wall. It seemed sturdy enough to provide us with some respite. I made my way towards the rock, my steps careful on the slippery ground. It seemed okay, and manageably comfortable as well. I turned around and faced Zahir, “Come, your majesty. Let us sit here.” I said to him, hoping that he would follow my lead. His hesitation was evident, his eyes guarded and distant. Nevertheless, he gave a reluctant sigh and complied, his presence towering beside me.We sat upon the rock, our figures huddled together. I could feel the tension radiating from him, why did he fear the rain so much?T

95.SERAFINA

SERAFINA I stood there, my heart pounding in my chest, as Zahir’s sudden display of vulnerability took me by surprise. The powerful and feared Lycan king had shown a brief moment of fear. It was a side of him I had never witnessed before, and it sent a jolt of shock through me.In that fleeting moment, his hardened expression softened, his eyes widening with a flicker of uncertainty. It was as if he, too, was momentarily caught off guard by his sudden actions. Almost as quickly as it had come, Zahir regained his composure. He forcefully shoved me to the side, dismissing the moment as if it never happened. The impact of his push almost sent me stumbling ofr the rock.I watched as he resumed his usual commanding presence, his stern expression firmly in place. It was as if that fleeting vulnerability had been swallowed up by his inherent strength, buried deep within his unwavering façade. The deafening silence that followed, enveloped the cave, allowing my thoughts to consume me as I

96.SERAFINA

SERAFINA I led the way, running as fast as my legs could carry as I navigated the forest, finding my way back to where I had seen the bright light. In my heart, I silently wished that the nymphs were still there, or else I would end up making a fool of myself. Zahir would lash at me and may even punish me for leading them on to another fruitless result. So I really hoped and prayed that they were still there as the nymphs had a tendency to change their locations easily. After long minutes of running through the forest, I finally started to see the shades of light densely illuminating the path ahead. I knew that light. I breathed a sigh of relief as we were getting very close. Eventually, I got to the path where the great light originated from. The area was blocked with bushes and leaves extending from nearby trees, covering the entrance. I paused, turning back to face the rest of the entourage. "We have arrived. This is the place I saw the nymphs." I said and then I spun arou

97.SERAFINA

SERAFINA After nearly a day's worth of journey, we finally arrived at the palace. And I never thought I'd ever say this, but I was somewhat glad to be back.Despite the cold floors, vigorous work and unpalatable food, at least there was a roof over our head. At least, we got to sleep in buildings and not somewhere deep in the forest where bugs and pests never granted us peace.The next morning after we returned, I was back at my duties, resuming my job as Zahir's personal maid. I went into his chambers and did my usual routine – sit by his feet and grind the ink.He never said a word to me all through my stay there, he had even murmured a half–hearted reply to my greetings.I had expected that after what happened in the forest, he would at least be more welcoming to me. Not that much really happened between us, but I helped him find a crucial item. That should at least warrant me a level of positive reception.But I guess Zahir wasn't one to care about any of those.Well, that was

98–HERA:His Mistress

HERAI stood by the windows in my quarters, leaning against the frame as I stared out into the space. My mind has been occupied with the same fucking thing for the past week: The King, Serafiana and their trip to the forest that for some reason, Zahir had not deemed fit to invite me to. The mere thought of King Zahir and Serafina going anywhere together filled me with immense and raw rage. I felt a pinching sting against my palms and I looked to my sides, seeing that I had been squeezing the curtain drapes so hard in frustration, I had not even realized. With an annoying grunt, I let go of the fabric and turned away from the windows, facing my mirror now and beholding the annoying scrunch I had on my face.What was even more annoying about the entirety of this ordeal was the fact that I had seen them together – yes, I had seen them. I followed them and secretly kept watch of the entourage as they made their way through the forest, looking for the items to avert the plague.I saw th

99.HERA:His Mistress

HERAI stared at Lord Timothee in disbelief, my mind racing to comprehend the depth of his devious plan. The intensity of his gaze held a glimmer of mischief, and it sent shivers down my spine. His words lingered in the air, each syllable dripping with a sinister intent."Don't be narrow-minded, Hera," he taunted, his smirk widening with satisfaction. "I'm not going to be stupid enough to suggest that we infect the whole palace. We're just going to make sure it affects only one human."A surge of anger mixed with concern coursed through my veins. "You can't be serious," I exclaimed, my voice laced with disbelief and a hint of desperation. "You're willing to risk everyone’s lives, just to get Serafina's?"Lord Timothee's eyes gleamed with a twisted delight as he leaned in closer, his voice laced with a chilling confidence. "I'm not suggesting this out of selfishness, Hera. It's for the greater good. Our greater good. This is the most efficient way to ensure her removal."I took a step

100.HERA:His Mistress.

HERA Lord Timothee had signaled for one of the caregivers to bring one of those affected with the plague to us. As the caregiver aided the sick man’s step to us, I immediately used the hem of my cloak to cover my nose and mouth – I can't risk getting the disease. If Lord Timothee wanted to risk getting the illness, then that was his problem, not mine. The sick man was coughing profusely, he emitted thick mucus which the caregiver made sure he coughed into a container. His body was littered with red spots, his body was emaciated and all his bones outlined against his skin. He looked terrible. “Greeting, Lord Timothee.” The caregiver curseyed before us. She had not given me any special greeting because she probably didn't know who I was, as I had covered half of my face with the cloak. It was better like that though; I'd prefer she doesn't know my identity – I wouldn't want my name to be the fodder for their gossip.Lord Timothee took a cautious step backward and I followed suit,
