"Katherine, if you proceed with this plan, you do so at your own risk," Elder Alfred said, his voice firm. "You must be aware of the consequences if things go wrong."Katherine's eyes narrowed. "You may be an elder, but you forget that I am the Alpha. I will not be threatened into inaction."Elder Alfred's words weighed heavily on Katherine. She knew that taking this risk could cost her dearly, both in terms of her reputation and her position as Alpha. But was the potential payoff worth it? Could she really afford to walk away from this opportunity? She was torn, unsure of what to do next.With a heavy heart, Katherine nodded. "I accept the risks, and I will take full responsibility for the outcome." Elder Alfred gave her a solemn look, then turned and walked away. She watched him go, feeling the weight of her decision settle on her shoulders. Was this the right choice? Only time would tell.Despite the relief of having made a decision, Katherine couldn't help but feel the tension of

They sailed for many hours and Celeste provided Aviva with anything she needed as Markus was driving the boat. He exhaled when there was nothing else but water.He watched the dolphins leaping by the ship. It seemed they were either not familiar with a ship or they had so many visitors that it was nice to pursue them.He jumped when Celeste touched his shoulder. It was almost strange that their in-laws were not hot on their tails trying to seperate them. He was also worried that some scoundrel would not be able to take his eyes off her.But the quest was the most important thing for now.Celeste smiled at the group of dolphin, she wished she could swim freely in the seas or fly as she wished or travel like the wild horses. Most of her friends and allies had so many diverse powers and she had the chance to possess them but she could not keep what she needed, the ones she loved. Could it be that she was destined not to have supernatural gifts like Markus?The only thing she could do no

"I have made up my mind already. I do not care if you have the power to destroy me, this is my land and I say go back!"Markus paused, after everything he went through, he was so convinced that he would help."But Draven_""Do not mention that name again, in fact, do not speak a word, I can only take so much." The king clucked.King Stefan exhaled and he motioned a finger towards Celeste. "Come."Celeste looked a little too eager.Markus thought it was because of the argument. He caught her hands. "If it was because of what I said, I want you to know that I still love you, at least we have each other."Celeste lowered her hands. "I don't have time to waste." She said and Markus stopped short.She hurried to him and the King Stefan lowered his head. "Your majesty."He pointed at Markus who turned away and Aviva touched his back, her mouth moving and Markus only becoming more gloomy."Tell your husband to leave this instant. I'll give you a 30 minute headstart. If you are not out of her

The danger was not yet over. The beast, though wounded, was not defeated. It thrashed and bellowed, its rage growing with every moment. The people of New Arcadia held their breath, hoping that this nightmare would soon be over. And yet, they knew that this was only the beginning...Carlisle, on his dragon, fired arrows at the beast in an attempt to wound it. But the monster was merely irritated by the attack. It thrashed and bellowed in rage, causing even more destruction."This is pointless!" Carlisle yelled in frustration. He took aim at the beast's eye, and with a single shot, the arrow found its mark. The monster let out a howl of agony, shaking the city to its foundations.But the beast was not yet defeated. It turned its fury towards the dragon and its rider determined to destroy them. Carlisle fought to stay in control of his steed, but the dragon was faltering under the onslaught. In a split-second decision, Carlisle urged the dragon to flee, but it was too late. The beast lung

"Ready?" Spike asked."No!" Elliott shook his head."Yeah!" Robin laughed, still hanging on. Spike stomped on the ground, forcing the disk and its passengers to slide toward the base of the hill."I don't want to do this anymore!" Elliott cried out."Elliott, if you jump off now, you'll ruin the momentum!" Robin warned him.Elliott jumped off anyway. Robin, not wanting to continue without him, followed suit. They both rolled down the hill, ending up in...a heap at the bottom. Elliott landed on his back, with Robin landing on top of him. They lay there, panting from the mad dash down the hill. Robin propped herself up on her elbows, her face inches from Elliott's."You okay?" she asked. Elliott opened his mouth to answer, but no words came out. He just stared up at her, his eyes wide.Robin leaned down for a kiss, her eyes half-lidded and her lips slightly parted. As she drew close to Elliott, he unexpectedly rolled over, throwing her off balance and sending her tumbling to the grass.
