CHAPTER SIXTEENMARIUS'S POVI led Remus and Adolphus through the eerie forest, our footsteps muffled by the thick carpet of fallen leaves. The stolen dark powers box, pulsating with malevolent energy, weighed heavily in my hands. Our destination was Lisa, the legendary witch and sorcerer who possessed the knowledge to perform the dangerous rituals needed to harness the dark powers.We reached a secluded clearing, where a small cottage stood bathed in an otherworldly glow. I knocked on the door, my heart pounding with anticipation. The door creaked open, revealing Lisa, her eyes sparkling with ancient wisdom."You have returned," Lisa's voice echoed through the room, her gaze fixed on the dark powers box in my grasp. "But beware, for your actions have awoken forces far beyond our control."Remus, Adolphus, and I exchanged wary glances, realizing the gravity of our undertaking. Lisa's words sent a shiver down our spines, emphasizing the peril that awaited us within the dark temple. The
CHAPTER ONE**VAMPIAN KINGDOM** REMUS"The three kings knew of my insatiable hunger for power over the supernatural realm and I deserved it but now, this new prophecy speaks of a powerful prince who will rule instead"I paced restlessly, my mind racing with possibilities. "Why should I believe in this prophecy?" I demanded, my voice echoing through the palace.Jared, my chief warrior and adviser, spoke up. "You don't need to pay attention to that old fool who calls herself the seer."I sat down on a nearby couch, taking a deep breath. Jared looked uneasy at my sudden shift in demeanor."What are you thinking, Jared?" I pressed, my impatience growing.Jared hesitated before speaking. "I believe this was a plot by the other kings to prevent you from accessing the throne or does that not make sense?"I sprang up, pacing for twenty minutes before finally settling back onto my throne. Jared's words rang true, and I smiled."I completely agree with you," I said, my anger simmer
CHAPTER TWO**CRYSTAL KINGDOM** ADOLPHUScontinued from last chapterAs we hurtled towards each other, a sudden gust of wind erupted, halting our collision. The air crackled with energy, and we all knew who was responsible, even though no one had said a word.Marius, the rogue fighter with forbidden powers, had arrived. He relished in using his abilities, even when it meant breaking the rules."You're making a mistake," Marius growled, his voice echoing through the battlefield."And who asked for your help?" Taylor spat from the back.Marius laughed, a sinister sound that sent shivers down our spines. "Listen, weakling whenever the nobles speak, you listen because my fighting abilities are incomparable to yours, and if you doubt me, we can settle it right now."I could feel my anger boiling over, my fists clenching at my sides. "Stay out of my way, Marius, Leave before I do something we'll both regret."Marius sneered. "Oh, I'll leave but mark my words, next time we meet, it
CHAPTER THREE**VAPIAN KINGDOM** REMUSMy heart was racing as I glared at Jared, who lay before me, severely injured. "Were they awake when you struck?" I demanded, my anger boiling over.Jared's voice was cold as he replied, "Yes, my king but I suspect they have a spy as in someone who's always watching, always listening because that's the only explanation for how they always seem to know what we're doing."My mind raced as I considered his words. A spy? In my own kingdom? I gritted my teeth. "Then I'll find that son of a bitch. And when I do, I'll make an example out of him because no one defies me and gets away with it."Jared groaned in pain, drawing my attention to his injury. "I don't understand why it won't heal," he complained bitterly.My eyes widened as I realized the truth. "He used the sword of Maganatus," I said through gritted teeth." Like are you really serious about this my king"Jared asked curiously "Yes because It's one of the most poisonous and dang
CHAPTER FOUR*" SILSA'S TEMPLE** MARIUSYou've just crossed a treacherous border, where danger lurks at every turn. Suddenly, a voice echoes through the thick darkness."Only time will tell if you've crossed the wrong lane," a harsh voice warns.I retort angrily, "You have no idea who you're dealing with."But then, a chorus of voices chimes in, "Oh, but we do."My heart races as I demand, "Stop spitting nonsense and show yourselves!"As the shadows begin to shift and take shape, I can't help but laugh when I realize it's King Remus, playing yet another game."It's been too long," I teased him.But he snaps back, "I'm not under your authority, and I am not your match."I smirk, "And yet, you came seeking the seer's guidance then it means you're nothing but a weakling." But he kept quiet I make him an offer he can't refuse, "Join me as my personal guard when I become the king of the supernaturals."The tension hangs thick in the air as we both wait for his response.With a
CHAPTER FIVE** GREEN VALLEY KINGDOM** DEREKMy heart raced as I saw my old friends approaching. I could feel the tension building as I prepared for what was to come."Seems like my old friends are finally back to try my skills," I said, trying to mask the fear in my voice."You don't know what we have installed for you if not you wouldn't be sprouting nonsense rather you will run for your dear life," Keal, their leader, fired back, his eyes glinting with malice."Well, you and I know that the shadow monsters don't stand a single chance with me. I'm gonna smash you all like dust," I said, trying to sound confident."Ohh then what are you waiting for, just do as you said and I will show you what we got," Keal taunted.With a burst of anger, I leaped up and dived into their midst. But to my shock, they all disappeared like dust, leaving me alone in the dark.Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my back. I turned around to see a sword aimed straight at me. I dodged it just in time, but my
CHAPTER SIXVAMPIAN KINGDOM REMUSI sat at the round table, flanked by the two most powerful kings in the land. My heart pounded in my chest as the tension in the room thickened. Anger boiled just beneath the surface, threatening to erupt at any moment."We need to strike now," Adolphus said, his voice sharp and urgent. "Before he becomes even more powerful."Marius scoffed. "And you think we stand a chance? Did you not witness what happened at his birth?"My stomach churned with fear as Adolphus spoke again. "You're weak and scared. If you can't join us in this battle, step aside. We need to know who's strong enough to lead this kingdom." The air crackled with electricity as we all stared at each other, waiting for someone to make a move. I could feel the weight of the decision hanging over us, knowing that whatever we chose would have dire consequences. Would we band together and fight, or would we crumble under the weight of our own fear?My heart was pounding in my chest as I fa
CHAPTER SEVENGREEN VALLEY KINGDOM DEREKMy heart was pounding as I glared at the Yola, seething with a passion that burned within me like a raging inferno." How dare he be born in my kingdom?" I shouted, my voice echoing through the halls with a ferocity that shook the very foundations of the castle.But Yola, my trusted advisor, remained calm, her eyes flickering with a hint of something that resembled hope. "There must be a way out," she said, her words laced with a sense of suspense that made my skin crawl."What solution do you propose?" I demanded, my heart racing as I thought of the wicked kings who were sure to arrive any moment. "You know what they're capable of ? So what can we do to protect ourselves?"The tension in the room was palpable as Yola spoke, his voice low and urgent."Uhmm! I think we'll need to kill him ourselves," he said, his eyes flickering nervously around the room, "so that they won't get access to him. Or do you have any other suggestion, my king
